    Default Re: [TOWN] Town Characters.

    Some time in the past, I was part of this thing, but now I'm starting over again with a fresh character.

    Kairoch/Parfros
    Race: Unknown
    Age: Unknown
    Power Level: Uncertain, but has, at times, shown powers worthy of at least level 7
    Spoiler
    Show

    [Description]
    Kairoch: A generally humanoid shape dressed completely in elegant blue robes, including a hood and a strange, face-concealing blue mask with intricate gold lines and symbols, and a purple gem in the center. Species and bodily details cannot be determined.
    Parfros: Parfros resembles Kairoch, but its robes, hood, and mask are purple in color, and tattered, worn, and dirty. The gem in the center of the mask is blue, and the lines are black.

    [Abilities]
    General: It is important to note that Kairoch and Parfros are two sides of the same being. Whether the switch is random or planned is not commonly known.
    Kairoch: (Limited) control over time and space, such as teleportation, haste/slow, time stop, summoning, limited temporal reversal, temporal strikes (with the scythe), and more.
    Parfros: Psychic powers, including telepathy, antipathy, telekinesis, inducing emotion, mind control, and illusion (common trick includes manifesting as someone else), plus a "signature move": a beam of purplish energy launched from the gem in the mask that destroys minds and warps bodies into aberrant shapes if it's allowed to remain in contact with the target. If the gem starts glowing with energy, stay away.

    [Equipment]
    Kairoch: Kairoch carries with it at all times a scythe, blinding white in color (really blinding white, as in, no discernable texture). Blue streams of energy float around the weapon. It is not known if the scythe itself has any powers, or if it simply serves as an implement for Kairoch's own power. Neither Kairoch nor Parfros carries around any specific items besides from robe, mask, and scythe.
    Parfros: Parfros also wields a scythe, but it is instead of white completely black in color. The energy streams are purple. This scythe is as mysterious as its counterpart.

    [Backstory]
    Unknown, but it is speculated (and mostly confirmed) that it is not an ordinary mortal behind the heavy robes and mask.

    [Personality]
    Kairoch: Kairoch is very ordered, perfectionist individual. While it is likely to respect the local law, it does not feel bound by it, and is willing to break it if it has to, such as in the pursuit of someone who who seeks to manipulate space and/or time for his/her own ends. Kairoch does not tolerate these kinds of people. It seldom seeks to induce in conversation or pleasure unless it has to. It mostly likes to work alone. Kairoch tends to avoid using its powers in all but emergencies.
    Parfros: Parfros can be seen as Kairoch's direct opposite. It is not very likely to care for mortal laws, has no qualms about manipulating and using people for its own ends, and is often seen partaking in social activities. However, Parfros is kind of (read: very) mentally unstable, and is not to be trusted. Do not think you can take advantage of it, unless you want to be the target of a lethal array of mind-breaking powers and spells. Parfros is much more likely to use its powers than Kairoch, be it for destruction or simply to show off.

    [Miscellaneous]
    Both personalities speak with a melodious but sexless voice. Kairoch has a more harmonious voice, while that of Parfros is distorted and omnious. Its voice is disembodied. It is believed to be in control over a demiplane only accessable to others if it wants it to be.

    Yoq-Yiqe
    Race: Kobold
    Age: Average
    Power Level: Around 4 or 5 normally, but much higher, around 8 or even 9, when in full Miasma form, and even this number could increase under the right circumstances.
    Occupation: Wandering monk
    Spoiler
    Show

    [Description]
    Yoq-Yiqe stands about a head higher than the average kobold. His scales are blazing orange and his eyes are dark green. He is muscular enough, but still dextrous and quick.

    [Abilities]
    Yoq-Yiqe's primary combat ability lies in his monk training, allowing him to kill people with fists and claws. Curiously enough, he sometimes seems to enhance his blows with dark magic, something which he refuses to discuss. Another curious thing is the mysterious force he calls Miasma, which allows him to unleash a variety of extremely powerful shadow powers when he chooses to bond with it. This is something he discusses even less than his melee augments. In Miasma form, his scales turn black and his eyes start to shine with a strong purplish light, his voice changes and becomes dark and omnious, and dark energy flows surround him. However, he seldom uses this ability, instead choosing to rely on the skill of the monk. A sign that Miasma is emerging is streams of black energy being unleashed from his chest.

    [Equipment]
    Yoq-Yiqe prefers to wear pretty standard monk clothes, preferably in dark, earthy tones. His weapons of choice are two "tiger-claws", one on each hand, but he also possesses an array of many different weapons. Another thing of note is the tiny piece of black rice paper he keeps nailed to his chest (yes, with a nail). The words "I Am About His Mask" are written on it with blood-"like" "ink". When anybody asks, he makes up some more-or-less far-fetched story, a new one each time.

    [Backstory]
    Yoq-Yiqe was a pretty normal kobold once, living with his brethren in the small, peaceful underground desert village of Blue Wyrmling's First Tooth. When he had grown up a bit (precise age is uncertain), he left the village in order to join the faraway Monastery of the Frozen Star.

    He had trained as a monk for about ten years when the monastery was utterly destroyed. It is not known what caused it, but out of the smoldering ashes crawled only one survivor: Yoq-Yiqe the kobold. To this day, he claims he has lost all memory of what happened. A short time after the event, he left to travel the world, and eventually the planes.

    [Personality]
    Yoq-Yiqe is generally social enough, and likes to perform in various activities, preferably physical ones, and especially unarmed combat. He's got nothing in particular against such vices as alcohol and women, despite being a monk. He does not generally seem to have any specific goal in his travels.

    When in Miasma form, his emotions become much-amplified, and he becomes wicked and cruel, but can still maintain an acceptable behaviour should it be needed.

    [Miscellaneous]
    Nothing I can think of at the moment.

    Thryza Wogal (née Sepsis).
    Age: 25
    Race: Human. Abnormal Human.
    Alig: Swings through TN and CN, NG, and even NE at times.
    Occupation: Mercenary and mother.

    Appearance:

    Slender and about 5'10" tall. Pale-ish skin. Hair is back-length and silvery, with a violet streak in the lock of hair that insists on falling over one eye. Eyes are grey; they can go from a soft, misty color to a somber, rainy-grey hue to a cold, hard, steely glint. Just around her eyes, taint and grime have become so ingrained that it looks as if she is wearing eyeliner. She is quite pretty despite this. Oh, and the scar running from just between her eyebrows, down past her left eye, and on to her jawbone.
    Her left arm is a mechanical replacement.
    She usually smells faintly of malt-vinegar, sometimes with a hint of tin.

    Clothing:
    A suit like this.

    Abilities:
    Thryza's body can produce, absorb, retain, and withstand a wide range of toxins, venoms, poisons, and other chemicals. She can use this to destroy, ravage, and hurt---or to heal.
    She is also naturally hardy; a decade of survival on her own tends to do that.

    Equipment:
    - Her left arm is a metal construct; it contains a wrist-razor, a hooked implement, and a huge flathead screwdriver thingy. A lighter is in her index knuckle.
    - A seemingly endless packet of silvery, long, slender cigars. They smell like tin when burned and their pale, chemical smoke soothes Thryza. Under no circumstances are they to be smoked by normal people. It's for their own safety.
    - An Ion Cannon. Despite its small size and odd appearance, it is a very powerful energy weapon.
    - But used more often is her new Neutron Ram.

    Backstory:
    Thryza lived in a normal little village with a normal family. Until the raiders slaughtered everyone but her, and she was taken by researchers.
    She was the guinea pig for the testing of an artificial limb replacement. Of course, they had to remove her real arm themselves first. Predictably, they had designed the prototype with bloodlust in mind---hence the wrist-blade.
    She was 15 then. She blacked out, and when she awoke, she was laying by the body of the chief experimenter. His throat was cut. Her wrist-blade was bloody. Every other researcher was dead, dying, or had fled.
    She'd fled and become a loner, and after 10 years, she's found herself in The Town.

    Personality:
    Thryza can cut your throat before your brain realizes she has a blade. She can spew acids or alkalines strong enough to flay skin and flesh from bone.
    She probably won't unless she has to.
    She's a quick-witted, rough-life-toughened woman with a generally amiable disposition. A bit too gleeful about violence.
    She is a loving mother to Thal, Neiz, Chol, Bio, and Bubble; she is an also-loving wife to Chris.

    Miscellaneous:
    She smokes silvery chemical cigarillos that contain a natural relaxant.
    Natural for her body, anyway. If a normal person tried it... let's just say that inhaling acid-laced thumbtacks would be better for your lungs than a puff of a Silver Breccia.

    David Kith
    Age: 23
    Race: Human
    Occupation: Delivery Man

    Appearance:
    Quite general looking, nothing special. (short) Brown hair, brown eyes, 5'11", Blue, pinstripe business suit, etc.

    Clothing:
    Just his business suit. It's blue pinstripe for that added, unnoticable flare. Wears a black with it. Everything else varies based on what he's delivering.

    Abilities:
    He can run very fast. That's about it. It's not supernatural, or anything. It's just being fast enough to run the 300 metre in twenty seconds. Very fast, but nothing notable.

    Equipment:
    A foldable axe that he keeps underneath the counter at all times. If needed, he'll bring it out to fend off idiots.

    Backstory:
    To sum this up into a single paragraph, David was homeschooled. At an early age he started working at a mill, cutting the wood. Later on, there were a good number of incidents that included axes, and murders. He had nothing to do with those whatsoever. Nope.

    To escape all possible chances of being charged with something he most certainly didn't do, he moved to the Town. There, he opened up a delivery service shop.

    Personality:
    He's quite open to talk to anyone about anything. He's a very friendly, and social person. Often well spoken, he'll hint at little things to see how people react, or if they even catch on. He's playful like that. And he likes to play games from time to time, like "Where's my Head" and sometimes helps people with tutorials such as 'Axes on People'.

    Miscellaneous:
    He's not a mass murderer that uses an axe on all his victims in any way. Not at all.

    *lightbulb!* I got an idea! For a charactor no less. One I can easily turn on and off too, so to say.
    Again, like Bubble, I have more beneath the surface of this one.


    Tiello Greene
    Age: 31?
    Race: Human-like
    Gender: Female
    Power Level: 2 or 3
    Abilities: Basically a ranger skill set, is particularly good with animals and tracking. Uses a bow. But there may be more to this...she seems to literally fade in and out of reality...
    Personality: Warm and friendly, but sometimes too warm to the point of being firey. Almost doesnt seem to know what's going on sometimes, and frequently mixes up people and places. Is very confident, nonetheless. She will constantly ask for some person called 'Lacrimos'. She's yet to find this person.

    Neiz.
    Age: Acts about 16.
    Race: Misery Echo (Lendri)
    Alig: TN

    [Appearance]
    Mid-height. Very slender---to the point of being almost gaunt. Pale grey skin. Large, almond-shaped, glossy-black-violet eyes. Back-length jet-black hair, with one lock that has a teal streak. Her teeth are like needles. Her left arm is a mechanical replacement, identical to Thryza's.


    [Abilities]
    Has venomous spurs in her forefingers. The venom is a disorientating substance that can induce clumsy rage, hallucinations, panic, confusion, euphoria, or a combination of any of these. It depends upon the recipient.

    [Equipment]
    Metallic arm is identical to Thryza's.

    [Backstory]
    She manifested after Thryza escaped from the research lab. She was, after fourteen years, literally vomited into physical existence.

    [Personality]
    Very... variable. At her worst, she's horrible. At her nicest, usually when in love, she's cuddly.

    Default 3rd Character

    Name: Viole Nuutsiu(t)
    Age: Appears to be 20
    Race: Human Vampire Ex-Ex-Vampire Human Reborn as demon.
    Class: Musician! And maybe Artist! And Possibly Bard!


    Appearance:-:
    Short, spikey red hair. 5"8', physically fit.
    Wears just clothing. A Blue tee-shirt and a green skirt. Has tall boots. Also, occasionally 'wears' her viola and bow like swords on her back.
    And she has darker, redder, demonic skin. She still has her vampire teeth, due to the method of rebirth.

    Special Abilities:-:
    Very good at music. Also pretty creative, smart, and determined (I guess those could be special abilities). Ignores people if it's not her business. She can also draw. Has (very minor) vampire-like abilities from her brief stint as a vampire.

    Equipment:-:

    She has a viola, which is effective at draining life. And a dagger, and a bladed whip (whip with blade at end)

    In addition, she has a nightmarish tentacle: However, one may be able to use it as a whip and possibly use a little of the same flesh-eating properties that it had possesed while still attached to the nightmare.

    Also has a pencil to draw with. And a pad of paper.

    Backstory:-:
    A musician in search of...something. Engaged at one point, but then ran away. Actually, on her wedding day, he went off with another girl.
    Grew up on a farm, about 50 miles out. Her mother died in childbirth, and her father hated her, for a myriad of reasons. Demons decided to take residence in her place (including her great-great-great grandfather), and later angels cleansed and purged the entire farm, forcing the need to escape to the Abyss through a portal in her basement. Eventually, she ran away.

    Personality:-:
    Enjoys laughing, and being nice. Extremely optimistic, and has faith in some deity, who she doesn't know. All the known deities have forsaken her blood, but this one comforts her when she needs it.

    Other:-: She has proficiency with swords, bows, whips, and daggers. She is also really good with music - she can drain life, energy, magic, and so on with her music, heal a bit with her music, and control some elements with her music. Among other things. [/spoiler]
    Also, her ex-fiancé is a vampire stalker. She doesn't like him. But his 'soul' is trapped in a gem. Effectively, dead.

    She has 2 Dhampir children, Leo and Diane. And they're almost as old as her, due to some time-traveling junk. Twins. After being killed again, she has been reborn as a partial demon. Her skin is dark red now, and demonic.

    And she's 1/8 demon, and 1/32 (fallen) angel.

    Picture by Shades of Gray! Thank you!

    ...and she has a doll based on her, too. Look in my sig to see it. The doll also looks sorta like Diane, but with shorter hair.
    (Neither the doll nor the picture are current, though)

    Hi, do you want me to play you something?



    Leo Nuuitsu

    Violet's son, who is about 17 years old and pretty strong and tall. He's a swordsman, an inventor, a scientist, a weaponsmith, and is learning some magic from his sister and mom. And he's a dhampir.

    He has:
    Though, those teeth look as if they might be useful in making blades, though... It would take some time to forge them but one could get a good blade from the beast at least. A compensation for one's troubles perhaps? Although, it might carry a bit of it's old nature with it... It would likely be extra harmful to soft, fleshy things... Like humans. ((Forged into a sword))
    A cloak that bends light, similar to turning invisible.
    Another sword.
    A hammer that can resize and grow into a warhammer.
    Myriad of other things that he created.


    Diane Nuuitsu

    Leo's twin, looks similar to Violet (pre-demonhood), also a dhampir. She is a lot better at magic than her brother and mother, and is learning melee fighting, trained by her mom and brother.

    Umbreitha (Real Name: DriEQ'wQhïlln-èK-axthYcq^tsah-zhAnn)
    Race: Species 8472
    Age: Average
    Power Level: Around 5 (personal abilities, tactics and support would heighten this considerably)
    Occupation: Primary Spy/Infiltrator/Spotter for the Unified Dark in the dimensional zone designated as "Town"
    Spoiler
    Show

    [Description]
    Elf Form: A beautiful, attractive, fair-skinned elven female with long, dark purple hair, usually dressed in black leather.

    Natural Form: Like this.

    [Abilities]
    Asides from advanced "mortal disguise": telepathy, (with focus on persuation, antipathy, and insanity), limited telekinesis, extensive spy training, plus deception, persuation, photographic memory, and other handy skills.

    [Equipment]
    Black leather armor, vast number of biotech spy gadgets hidden in folds on body, extremely sharp and pointy dagger inside right wrist (can be used as Wolverine's claws, or be completely extracted).

    [Backstory]
    "Umbreitha", as she (for lack of a better word) is codenamed, is the designated operative of the Unified Dark in the so-called "Town", her mission being focused on three specific points: to determine what the Town can use to counter a full-scale invasion, to nullify what the Town can use to counter a full-scale invasion, and to prepare for the arrival of a full-scale invasion. She is of what the Borg Collective designates "Species 8472", and she has been altered to appear as an elf.

    [Personality]
    Umbreitha will use everything in her power to see that her mission succeeds. Usually, she resorts to persuation, using her, eeh, womanly shape to get what she wants, and boosting the effect with mental power. She will also not hesitate to use deception. Anything and anyone perceived as a threat to the mission she will subtly (most of the time) eliminate. If discovered, she unleashes her formidable antipathic abilities and biotech weapons.

    [Miscellaneous]
    Has a pet zergling, genetically altered to perfection (Power Rating 2 or 3).

    Zonin Regal

    [Description]
    Zonin is a Xeph, and like most of his race he possesses dark skin and green eyes. His black hair is usually worn unbound, ending just above his shoulder. His face is a friendly and open one, with laugh-lines just beginning to form around his eyes. He stands at 5'9, 174 pounds, and has a very athletic, compact frame. He can generally be seen wearing reinforced cloth pants and a studded leather vest. He wears a grey cloak that seems to glow in the light. He can usually be seen wearing a simple iron ring around his left hand's ring finger.

    [Abilities]
    Zonin is a Soulknife, and a mercenary for hire, specializing in assassinations. He can conjure bladed weapons of various types instantly and at will, and thus can get through security checks effortlessly on his way to his target. Like others of his race, his levels of adrenaline are such that he can run beyond the speed of normal people a few times a day. He is an extremely competent fighter whenever he's drawn into a stand-up fight, specializing in misdirection.

    [Equipment]
    Zonin possesses fairly typical leather armor. On his hand is a ring imbued with a protective shield spell which he can call on at will. His cloak allows him to shift into the ethereal realm for a fairly brief amount of time, which has given him his nickname in underword circles: "The Smiling Ghost".

    [Backstory]
    Not much is known about Zonin. He left his ancestral woodland home years ago for reasons he never shared, and he became involved in the underworld while he was still in his teen years. Only a few people know about what he really does: To the general public he's seen as a freelancer willing to do odd jobs for money, and he occasionally does perform these odd jobs to keep the facade up.

    [Personality]
    Most of the time, Zonin is a very genial person, easily mixing with other people he's with. But when he's serious, Zonin is a scary man to be around. He rarely drops his smile, even in battle, and that can be very unnerving to his opponents. But he can act with a quiet ferocity, and doesn't stop until he's done what he set out to do.

    [Power Level: 5]
    Not to be confronted without significant preparation.

    Adrian with little added gear from the future


    Adrian Dodd
    Age:28 years
    Race:Human
    Alignment:Chaotic Neutral
    Gender:Male
    Appereance:Adrian is rather tall invidual with light brown skin,red eyes and brown hair which he keeps pretty unkept in long tail.The left side of his face has glowing orange markings on it. He always wears black half-mask covering lower half of his face and long black and deep red cloak attached to large black shoulderpads.He also more often than not also wears his red bandana. His other clothing is almost always consisted of black and other dark colours and he does not change his style unless absolutely necessary. His overall body structure is rather long and hard and flexible as whip's cord.
    Equipment:He wears dark red plate armor decorated with black line insignia (the armor has permanent haste and freedom of movement effects) with black shoulder plates and dark red/black cloak. He has two magical longswords, 10 hidden daggers,6 shurikens and bottle of poison. He also has medium-sized bag of holding and money purse. He wears silver chains around his shoulders.
    Abilities:Adrian is rather good swordsman and marksman, and has experience gained through the hard way from deadly battlezones and ankward social situations, which comes very useful and cements his "shell-shocked loner" attitude even further. He can cast spells, though not very strong ones but very variable, from many spell lists and his will and fortitude saves are very high. He is rather grim in social situations and does not interract if such is not needed or he does not feel like it (which is most of the time),making socializing his bit of a weak spot. His senses are rather keen on sight and hearing, and he can move very quickly if needed, disappearing from sight if dropped outside it for even few seconds. He can also seemingly conjure up weaponary any time he needs it, ranging from firearms to blades and explosives, though this ability has limits and using it exhausts him. He is also weak against psychological barrage, allowing his spirit to be broken easily with right jaunts.
    Personality:Adrian is rather grim for the most part, and often does not care about optimism too much. He is bit of shell-shocked veteran, having seen and done things that have left him both emotionally and physically scarred, though he is in his prime. He often speaks shortly and observes rather than speaks, though he can be persuaded to join a talk or social gathering with small effort. Getting him mad is often not the best idea one could have, because he is rather quick to resolve things with steel and has no compassion towards those who have slighted him. Though he is grim he honours his word and has strong faith to ideals of honour and justice, though they sometimes are not dished out lawfully. He is polite, but reserved and it takes quite a while to get anything too deep out of him.

    Othello the Wanderer




    Gender: Male
    Race: Human
    Age: Looks like possibly Late 30's to Mid 40's, he's been around for a while though.
    Alignment: True Neutral (As far as any human can be completely impartial)
    Class (or approximation): Druid/Wizard
    Power Rating (optional): 11-12 (I know what you're all thinking, here comes some new Nubbish Acolyte,trying to godmode a character to the teeth, but if you give me a chance to explain myself I will)
    Description:
    Othello stands at a relatively large frame. Somewhere in the range of 6 feet tall with broad shoulders. He is not muscular, but he is not out of shape. He has curly blond hair which tapers down to his shoulders, with faded reddish strands of hair mixed in, the red is more noticable at the end of his hair. Generally he wears it in a ponytail. His face is well defined, his features are rather distinguishing. Not that he is attractive, his comeliness is actually rather average, but his facial features are very pronounced. He has a squared off chin, which angles off of the bottom of his face. It is complimented nicely by a rather broad nose. He has thick bushy eyebrows, and deep brown eyes.
    Equipment: He looks like a regular person. He wears a heavy looking dark green robe at most times, but does own other clothes. The cloak looks old, like maybe it was once a beautiful royal dark green or some shade like that, but has been worn out by being in the sun and elements for far too long. He has a belt. Thick, leather, has a buckle, and some pouches on it. The pouches look like they might or might not contain things. He also carries with him a large oaken staff. It's dark, and has a gnarled looking top.
    Abilities: Well, he's a wizard. He's also a druid. He's quite powerful, and from the setting that I made him, he is the definition of power and balance. He's the character that's just sort of there. He's always been there, and always will be there for one reason or another. I originally created him to act as a consult of sorts to a party that I was DMing for, and this party was known to be mostly evil-ish and killed most of the characters that I threw at them if they didn't like the answers they got. So being frustrated of throwing the normal sheepish NPC's at them, I created a character which they could not defeat. He was far too intelligent for them to cross, and he ended up joining them in the adventure they liked him so much. It was difficult him being so powerful, to balance the adventure but it worked out well in the end.
    Othello you see is a very unique character. He is not immortal, but you can't kill him. Well, there are certain ways to do it, but none of the PC's I DM for have figured it out. He is a very powerful wizard, and equally powerful as a druid. I'm not introducing him here to fight other characters. At all. I just love the personality that he holds and what story stands behind him. I actually ended up using his character as a project for a university literature class I took, and did quite well. His abilities range far beyond the normal Druid or Wizard, or whatever holds you to those class names.
    Backstory: Othello's backstory isn't exactly a tale of mystery, but not much of it is known to the major public, as most people haven't been alive long enough to have heard about it in tales. Othello was born a very, very long time ago. I play in the world of Greyhawk, mostly, so that's where the majority of this tale comes from. His childhood lacks consequence, as nothing interesting or consequential happened then. He was born, to two parents, and was immediately recognized in his society of being a child who can use the arcane arts. Now this alone is not that special, but he was also recognized as someone with a deep, deep connection to nature. After training as a wizard, Othello grew tired of the confines of strict, cultured society and left. No notes, no dramatic exits, just a missing robe and staff and he was never to be seen again. He spent his days in the wilderness, living amongst nature and all of it's splendor. He fell more and more in love with the earth and it's natural beauty every day, and some say this is where his unique power comes from. Thirty years passed with no mention of his name, or even thought of his being, until one day the blond haired man returned to his home city. He was not recognized, as he should have now been an elderly man in his sixties, only to appear to be in his thirties, at the most. His blond hair still flocked long around his shoulders, yet his face and eyes looked older than he did, an odd sight indeed. He another decade or so living in his home city, it was quite large, and he had no problem of blending into the background. It took some time before people realized that the man they knew as Othello, was not aging. He wasn't changing at all as a matter of fact. And that's the way that it was at every city he lived in for the next several centuries.
    Othello spent much of the early part of his life, (early for him, a very long time for the rest of us) in peaceful serenity, avoiding the problems of man and other creatures. That is until everything he came to know and love around him was destroyed. Othello was alive during what many know as the "Rain of Colorless Fire" that destroyed the majority of the western half of The Flanaess. He witnessed this destruction with his own eyes, and with that decided to leave. He fled to the east. Across the great mountains and into the lands of the Flan, and into the more commonly known part of Greyhawk. He had lived his life there, settling disputes, wandering, adventuring, every once in a while helping out the DM by causing some major plot turning event, and then as soon as he had come, he left. Hundreds of years in one place, causing him to become a legend in most eyes, was something he really didn't enjoy, so he left. Now he finds his way into the town, hoping for a new roleplaying experience, and a good time.


    Miscellaneous: Othello has lived a very long life, and is a very wise man because of it. He mostly keeps his wisdom to himself but every once and a great while he tries to help others and share it. He is a calm man, and is very dedicated towards balance and order in the world. He loves nature, and nature seems to love him back. Animals are very fond of him. He's a gifted speaker, and most people seem to believe whatever he says, just because he has the aura of a well intentioned person. Do not cross him, he will not fight you, unless your desperatly, desperately have some kind of inferiority complex and have to, at which point he will. He is not on these forums to do battle with any other characters, unless it fits into a story line.

    Common Knowledge: Othello has recently shown up in the town by means of the main road, on foot. He just sort of wandered into town. You can find him somewhere in town, at an inn or the cafe maybe.

    My backpack is fun. Wanna see?



    Name: Peter Kreyburn
    Race: Human
    Alignment: Chaotic Good (Other personality is Chaotic evil)
    Age: 25
    Hair: Cut short, dark brown
    Eyes: Pale green

    Look:
    Spoiler
    Show
    He's about 5'9" tall. He has a kind face, and a kind of small build. Doesn't look like he could fight much. His clothing is as follows:

    Black work boots. Steel toe.
    Blue jeans.
    Black t-shirt
    Jean jacket

    He also wears a kinda strange looking metal backpack. And he never removes it. Ever.


    Weapons:
    Spoiler
    Show
    His backpack.

    It is a very highly advanced piece of technology. Up to four limbs can come out of it at his mere thought. Two are modified to mainly serve as feet, while the other two are mainly used for attack. The backpack is also used for storage for many items.

    The feet have claws on them that are able to grip into walls. He can grab things with them, too.

    The weapons he can use are as follow:

    Assault rifle
    Blade
    Hammer
    Spike
    Grenade launcher
    Claw
    Small energy cannon
    Small energy shield


    Personality:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Kind of shy. Doesn't talk much. Once he warms up to you, he is really friendly. Very loyal to his friends and to what he believes is right. On these subjects, he is quick to anger and violence.

    Alcohol makes him slightly depressive. When he's had too much, he starts thinking about his past and getting all sad.

    Once in a while, he shows his other personality. This one comes from the backpack itself. This personality is evil. It will try to cause as much harm as it can before Peter is able to take control back. When his evil personality kicks in, he speaks in this color.


    Backstory:
    Spoiler
    Show
    (This part is not complete yet.)
    He had found the backpack about five years ago. When he first put it on, it fused with his spine. This allows his control over it, but it also prevents the backpack from being removed.

    He doesn't really know where the backpack came from. The only clue he has is a logo for Toper Laboratories.

    At first, it was cool. He had robotic arms now. But, about a week after it happened, the other personality revealed itself for the first time...

    When Peter woke up in the morning, both of his parents were dead. And his footprints were in the blood.

    Since then, he's been on the run from city to city. Every time the other personality shows, he has to leave. There haven't been many witnesses, but every time there are, cops are trying to find him.


    Current Status:
    Spoiler
    Show
    The other side of Peter's backpack hasn't sufaced at all recently.

    Peter no longer stutters.

    Peter is married to Abigale, and the two have several adopted children.

    BACKSTORY: An old grizzled Russian general, he was a tactical genius in every sense winning countless battles in the name of the motherland. Until one day his helicopter was shot down. His body was retrieved and re grown it using experimental Russian biological cybernetics. Somewhere in there they tinkered his brain wondering why he was so brilliant. Somewhere in there they activated a inactive part of the brain causing powerful telekinetic powers he in reflex and killed all the men and left the facility in ruins. He was presumed MIA presumed dead, so according to the Russians he's dead. Unfortunately the telekinetic powers take a great deal of his physical abilities so he is a frail man. But after years of conditioning he is only 1/3 the fit as he would normally would be with the conditioning he went through. He is always supporting the motherland in every way and always tries to solve problems with democracy.

    A necklace with a black gem on the end.
    [Backstory]
    She's actually Will(my latest character,)'s sister. Will also has a wolf-however, Will's wolf is a light wolf. Marie's is a shadow wolf.

She has learned powers of illusion and sorcery and necromancy and other stuff, and has a shadow sword that she occasionally uses. She's also 19, by the way, not 9.

He has two scimitars strapped to his back, and one long sword strapped to each of his hips along with a bastard sword strapped horizontally across his back. All of his weapons have shadows embedded in them so that thurge can cast his magic through them.

    Thurge is very secretive. no one knows where he's from, and know one knows where he is going. all they know is that he has decided to stop in the town for a while.

    Arthur Krain




    Gender: Male
    Race: Human
    Age: 23
    Alignment: Chaotic good/neutral.
    Class (or approximation): Fighter/Ranger
    Power Rating (optional): 5-6 (Without his gear, a 4-5)
    Description:
    Arthur is slightly below average height, standing around 5'10". He is fairly muscular however, and it seems to look nice on his broad, sturdy frame. His shoulders are quite wide. He is an extremely attractive person. His skin tone is of a dark olive color, and his skin is very fair. His arms and legs are quite hairy. He looks like he could be Greek, if that race were to exist. His eyes are a beautiful green color, which nicely contrast his skin. He has bushy eyebrows which seem to sit plumply just above his eyes. His nose builds it's way down to a fine point. It is on the thinner side. He has squarish cheekbones, and a round, but firm looking jaw. He has young boyish black hair still, that falls lightly around his head, reaching just above his shoulder. The only thing to change his otherwise beautiful appearance are the numerous scars and tattoos that cover his body. The scars are for the most part hidden. The majority of them rest on his chest, and arms and legs. One can be seen at all times though, it is one thick mark, coming up from the left side of his chest, moving up his neck, and side of his face. It crawls up to mid-cheek before stopping. He also bears a branding mark on the back of his neck. The tattoos that cover his arms are references to his past, and are mostly tribal looking lines and patterns.
    Equipment: He of course owns a normal set of clothes, undergarments, pants, a shirt, a belt, boots, all of that normal stuff. He wears a chain mail hauberk that has been woven in between several layers of leather, which hangs down around his knees. The leather forms a dark red tunic, with a golden serpentine cross in the middle. (The kind with the wavy lines). The hauberk is open chested, and attaches at the front by leather buckles. On the front are several throwing blades tucked in to small hoops. He wears thick leather arm guards that cover his wrist and forearm. He has a thick leather belt that ties off on his waist, several pouches hang from the belt. Also hanging from the front is a hatchet, and a dirk (a large dagger) on the back. A bastard sword, and sheath hang off the belt by two pieces of leather, so that it rests upon the middle of his thigh. The sword is about 4'2" long. He wears a pair of boots that come up to about his knees, they look extremely worn. He also wears a heavy brown cloth cloak, with a hood.. He has various other trinkets hanging off of him, just ask him about them, he's more than happy to talk! The majority of his gear is magical of some sort.
    Abilities: Arthur is a great melee fighter. He is very well trained in the use of the sword. He is also an accomplished martial artist. He is good with a bow as well. He is however far more than just some brute. He is a rather intelligent character, and fairly wise. He is still young, and can let his emotions get the best of him. He is an accomplished tracker, and is experienced in adventuring. Because of his upbringing, he is familiar with magic and how it works, though he holds no control over it, and can not cast spells. He is also slightly trained in thievery, and can use some thief skills, such as hiding in shadows, or moving quietly. He also knows how to get around conventional locks. From living in the wilderness, he is great at roughing it, and loves the wilderness.
    Backstory: Arthur's story, is a very dark one. Born October 12th, he was immediately taken from his mother and given too a surrogate family. He was raised until the age of 5, learning how to speak, read, eat, sleep, dress, and everything else that is possible at that age. On his 5th birthday he was taken from his surrogate family. He held no feeling for them anyway, as that is what was encouraged. He actually resents them now, knowing his true past. Arthur you see, is from the Scarlet Brotherhood. (For those who don't know about them... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Brotherhood )

    He was taken from his surrogate family, and placed into the Brotherhood's youth training program. For 9 years, he was drilled daily, on fighting, the world, his Suel history, and the racial doctrine that the Brotherhood preached to him. Forced on him. He accepted all of this willingly, as it is hard to deny your life, when you have seen nothing else. His time in the training program brain-washed him. It turned him into nothing more than a breathing, thinking, killing drone for the Brotherhood. Arthur was recognized for his physical prowess, this however was expected. Arthur was the product of genetic breeding. The brotherhood would actually force people to mate based on their physical prowess, forcing them to create only the strongest, most perfect offspring. It is a terrible, cruel thing, but in his case, it has worked. He was then moved for one year into a more specialized training camp, where he was to be trained to be one of the Brother's themselves. A monastic soldier and servant, sacrificing his life for the Brotherhood, and their corrupted views. It was not long after his 15th birthday, that he was contacted by a man he did not know. Long story short, this man was his father, his biological father. He wanted to break Arthur out of his prison and free them into the real world. It took time, but the man convinced Arthur to believe him. Quietly one night, Arthur and his father escaped into the darkness of the night, and into the lands of the free world. What happened after is far too long of a story to post here, it would take up way to much space, but what happened after that is an epic tale. Years of adventure, stopping entire armies, saving kingdoms, fighting dragons, and the most evil of villains.

    Miscellaneous: Arthur may be young, but he is smart for his age. He's very crafty, and very clever, especially when he's in a tight spot.

    Common Knowledge: Arthur has shown up to Town by horse.

    Morgan's Partners.

    While Morgan is on a huge adventure, he has met a few people who help him out. Here they are:

    Chad
    Chad is a well mannered guide of unknown species who brought Morgan into his adventure in the first place. He is of unknown species, as his hood covers his face. It seems his skin is pitch black, though. He is a guide, and seems to know everything about everything. He sees Morgan as a stupid fool and is only leading him because his leader has forced him to because he is supposedly the hero of prophecy.

    Benny
    Benny is small, talking monkey with an atitude and an obsession with bananas. He is a badass who can throw bananas like boomerangs that hurt a whole bunch. He sees Morgan as a cowerd and a traitor and is only traveling with him for revenge, as he thinks Morgan may have tried to sacrifice him to save himself.

    Rufus
    Rufus is a giant, talking fish that can "swim" through the air and float. He is a pirate who was once sailing with other fish on the oceans and robbed people, but was abandoned by his pirate gang for unknown reasons. He sees Morgan as a gullible moron and has teamed up with Morgan because he secretly wants to steal all the treasure, including the powerful artifacts the Rainbow Guns, from Morgan after he's finished collecting them.

    Janet
    Janet is a pretty genie lady with power to make magical beverages out of thin air which can heal, enlarge, and other benefits to those who drink them. She has had her parents taken away by the Dreamon, the monster Morgan is apperently destined to kill, and has teamed up with Morgan to help him with his task. She thinks of Morgan as a pervert, but travels with him anyway to avenge her parents.

    Adrain
    Adrain is a silent clown who used to proform in a mall for money, but joined Morgan after he saw him try and perform too and fail horribly, seeing him break down and cry like a little girl, was so sorry for him he decided to help him with his performance. He sees Morgan as a pathetic imbicle and only travels with him because he's sorry for him and dosen't want him to cry again.

    Genna
    Genna is a ghost girl who fell into a hole many years ago and died. Her spirit haunted to bottem of the hole for many years along and sad until Morgan showed up and allowed her to leave the hole. Genna is the only one who dosen't seem to dislike or think negatively of Morgan and follows him out of her own free will, unlike the others.

    Rusty
    Rusty is a small wind-up hamster that used to live in toy city. He is sentient but mechanical, and is somehow alive dispite being a toy. He follows Morgan because he thinks Morgan is a stupid, manipulatable pawn for his own "evil schemes", whatever the heck those may be. Not much is known about his nature.

    Grukus
    Grukus is a high level adventurer who has often competed in the Forum Olympics representing Play-by-Post games on his own. He is shockled that Morgan and his team could better him at sports, and has joined them to improve himself. He sees Morgan as a idiodic jerk but a respectable one at that, as he respects anybody who beats him at anything. Grukus must roll a dice before doing anything.

    [So I just gotta post him here to join in the town threads if not then let me know pm works best.]

    *sorry no image can't draw yet*

    [Description]
    Sican Ark'Aral

    well he's a gnoll for one, gnoll for those of you unfamiliar with them arepretty much Hyena men 7' and usually 300 lbs, Scian is a bit taller, 7'6", and somewhat lighter 265lbs. with a lean rangy look he is not used to being thought of as a looker, the lack of his left ear and half his tail don't help. He has grey fur with a crest-like black mane, and deep soothing brown eyes.

    [Abilities]
    He's a great shot with his bow, and he's pretty good with his hammers (he carries two as he learned to fight with two weapons) But he's socially awkward, and while he can fight up close, he isn't perticularly grand at it. He is also gullible. There are a few things that set him apart as a gnoll, asides from appearance, He like all his kin has a natural resistance to poisons and disease, not immuneity resistance, his sense of smell is impressive to say the least, it's easier for him to remember your scent then your face, and lastly he like many gnolls possesses the Butcher's lure ability (found in Dragon magazine 367 if I recall the issue number) that allows him to alter his voice to sound like any living thing he can think of, 100 practical uses over 1000 frivolous uses.


    [Equipment]
    He carries a shortbow and a quiver of arrows across his back, with a hammer that makes as good a projectile as melee weapon at either side of his hip. He wears leather armor, but only the minimum, ie: vest and leggings down to just above his knees (you wear a full suit of it over fur and see how you feel) it also has a hole for his half-tail. he also has his money pouch and all yada yada yada.

    The following is optional:

    [Backstory]
    He doesn't like to dredge this up but he was cast out of his pack for caring, Gnolls aren't supposed to be sympathetic, he was. They cut off half his left ear, and sliced off half his tail. He wears the marks proudly for as he says "Why would I be ashamed of having a heart?"

    [Personality]
    Though not the most social at first if he warms up to you he can be quite the talkative guy at times. He is quite lax, able to take a joke at his expense, heck he even tells them at times, he has been working more and more on opening up, but he ain't quite there yet. He is a very submissive guy and sometimes is pushed around easily, but he won't allow his friends to have the same done to them.

    [Stats]
    Well this is what I'd give him for ability scores in d&d
    strength: 14 he's about average for a gnoll.
    constitution: 17 he's toughr then he looks, he can take a beating before falling.
    dextierity: 18 yeah the claws don't get in the way at all
    intelligence: 14 a bit more then average I guess
    wisdom: 16 give him some time and he'll solve it
    charisma: 12 errrrr...hi?

    [Miscellaneous]
    not much to say in here, just if you become his friend don't betray him, he will let it pass once, but cross him twice and you MIGHT live to regret it. If I were to give an alignment to him I'd say proabably Chaotic good, he's got a good heart in 'im that's why he was banished from his pack. but yeah nothing else to say. oh wait, he does like music and he has a fairly nice voice surprisigly. He's working on his self confidence also, to avoid getting pushed around, it'd help for him to be social, so expect to see some odd moods at times.

    Zoi Laddo
    PL 3
    Chaotic Evil


    Abilities & Equipment:
    Arriving in a giant BAMF of magic, he seems to have none of his own. He posesses nothing besides the clothes on his back, a halberd, and a pistol.

    Appearance:
    Definetly a male. What else he might be is quite uncertain. Got big dark eyes and jagged teeth, with very dark skin and green, almost featherlike hair. Built like a lightweight boxer
    He wears a big, heavy dark green cloak. His clothes look fairly modern and tight, being a dark red t-shirt with an average pair of worn blue jeans and sneakers. He appears to be in his mid twenties.

    Background:
    He'd rather forget about his past, really... something about a war and being a soldier. He also had a journal.

    Default Sir William, Knight of Darkness

    [Description]
    Sir William Darkbringer, but he prefers Will
    Class? Knight of the Shadows/Firedancer
    Speaks in this color.
    He's probably 21.

    The 'Lady of the Shadows' is mortal now. And her name is Rocha. Named by Riki.

    Long, dark red hair, elaborate black clothing, and a cape. Pretty tall.
    Has a wolf named Lumière. As the name implies, it's a light wolf. It's also fairly large. And a very faint part Demon.
    If you want to see a fairly accurate picture, Googleimage Richter from Tales of Symphonia. Otherwise...you can look at this avatar that only mildly looks like him.
    Spoiler
    Show
    (and with a smaller wolf) (and different weapons)

    Scars: A shadow scar on his stomach. Not that you can see it.
    . Has a couple others hidden.

    Spoiler
    Show

    [Abilities]
    He can heal by saying "In the name of darkness...HEAL! And has other powers. Such as darklight.

    And he can ignite things, similar to Dustfinger.

    [Equipment]
    Cape, Lumière, dark clothing. Also has a bloodred axe and a bloodred long sword.
    Axe- Light when raising, heavy when falling.
    Sword-doesn't need to be cleaned, or sharpened, and acts as a catalyst for Will's powers.
    Had a bag of money. Used some of it with Abigale to buy an apartment.
    Business Card - Business card of Camille, the fallen angel.

    [Backstory]
    Spoiler
    Show
    I used to be a prince, but then I got betrayed by my uncle. Then I became his knight in disguise. Eventually, he figured it out, and sent me on a suicide mission. I survived, thanks to Lumière here. We have been travelling ever since. Mostly to find a cause to die for. It's kinda hard to die for a cause you don't believe in.
    Yes. I have an uncle and aunt...murderous little drunkards. They killed my parents while they slept. My traitorous little sis was the mastermind behind it. Then she tried to have me assassinated during the night. I escaped, and she ran away. Never want to see her again.
    Received his powers, axe, sword, and wolf, from a "Lady of the Shadows" in a dream.
    The 'Lady of the Shadows' also warned Will to beware of the owner of a shadow wolf similar to Lumière. The owner, it happens, is Will's sister, Marie. (also one of my characters.)
    Also has an 'evil twin' named Llewelyn. Not so much as an evil twin as an evil demensional clone.



    [Personality]
    Kinda nice. Also won't harm people who aren't fighting him/that he doesn't have to. Won't kill anybody - but will severly punish them. Like making them wish they were dead.
    [Stats]
    no.

    [Miscellaneous]
    Is friends with Shades of Gray's Abigale, the devil-person. Both of them pooled their money and got an apartment. (Abigale died?)
    'Evil Will' is kinda like Will.

    Oh, and he can control natural fire by speaking to it. It doesn't have to listen, but it sometimes does. Then sometimes does what he asks it to do. He's just getting the catch of this.
