Syela Mctavish

Alias: N/A

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Half human, half satyr.

Age: 14

Profession: Apprentice alchemist.

Description: Syela is a pretty, young girl. She's rather skinny, if one neglects to mention her large breasts and wide hips. Her feminine attributes are more developed than most girls her age. Her hair is fairly long and very curly. She has small, dark horns which curl backward and her ears are pointed. Her eyes are light green and resemble those of a goat's. Her nose is somewhat flat and broad and the hair on her arms and legs is a bit darker and more noticeable than one would expect. She typically wears earthy coloured plain dresses.

Personality: Syela is friendly and very bright. She's sought out a meager education even among her small village where most people don't know how to read. She's inquisitive and love to learn new things. Insults tend to hit her especially hard and she doesn't react to them well. Especially those relating to her heritage. She has a bit of a manipulative streak when it comes to boys her age. She knows she's attractive and is more than willing to use that often.

Equipment:
Spoiler

Abilities: Syela possesses no noteworthy abilities.

Backstory: Syela was the product of a union between a peasant woman and a satyr. She grew up without knowing her father, and her mother refused to tell her anything about him. The signs of his heritage were clear, however, and the other children in her village would often treat her with cruelty. Even some of the adults would say hurtful things.

Syela had quite an interest in education where most people were not. She took to spending much of her time with the local alchemist. He'd often allow her to observe him and had her fetch things for him. She even learned to read, a rarity among those in the village.

One day she decided to leave home. Even she's not sure why. Partially frustration, partially wanderlust, she just knew she needed to go. It didn't take her too long to find herself in the Nexus.

Miscellaneous: N/A

Salix

Alias: N/A

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Weeping Willow Dryad, Goddess of Eve

Age: 3, ageless (8 HPME*)

Profession: N/A

Description: Salix is a cute little girl. She has dark skin that looks almost like it's made of wood. She has big, inquisitive green eyes and rather long, pointed ears. Her hair is made of up long, leafy weeping willow vines that reach down to her knees. She wears a small variety of dresses. They're often dirty.

Picture:
Spoiler

Personality: Salix immensely enjoys spending time with other people now that she has the opportunity. She delights in playing games with most anybody. She's incessantly cheerful and it's hard to find her without a smile on her face.

Equipment:
Spoiler

Abilities: She has a few abilities granted by her heritage. She can manipulate plants in many ways. She can speak to plants. She can also enter a tree and emerge from another, even over great distances, as long as she's touched the tree before.

Salix has gained more abilities when she became a goddess. Though she has yet to discover the lengths of these abilities. Notable now is that her already existing abilities as a dryad are much stronger.

Backstory: Salix was born from her tree that can be found some small distance from the Good League of Good. She's lived her entire short life there with only occasional interaction with other people. Much of her companionship has come from a warren of rabbits that lives near her tree.

Miscellaneous: She has to remain within a moderately large distance of her tree outside GLoG or the sapling that came from her tree in GLoG or she will become sick and die after a few hours. Taking a small piece of him allows her to be away from him for a while, though not for an extended period of time.

Asenath


Aliases: N/A
Gender: Female
Species: Altered Human
Profession: None
Power Rating: Unknown

Description: Asenath appears as a young woman wearing a tattered beige robe with its sleeves torn off. The robe reaches down to just above her ankle, and is ragged at the edges. She also wears worn leather sandals of an older style, which have straps bound almost up to the knee. Cream colored bandages are wrapped over her entire left arm, her right hand, around the ankle and foot of her left leg, and over her left eye. Small, flat, rectangular copper charms are tucked carefully into the bandages, each one bearing a crude pictogram on it.

She has long white hair, usually a little tangled, and very lightly colored eyes. This, in combination with her extraordinarily pale skin, seems to indicate albinism. She is about 5'7" tall (170cm), and is thin and lacking in both muscle and fat.

Personality: Asenath is a bit awkward and perhaps a little archaic, and prone to ignoring or trying to repress emotions and memories that she dislikes. However, she tries to be polite and friendly, and frequently acts off of hunches, instinct, and impulses, as she is missing much of her memory; because of this, she often ends up in unusual situations or talking to people she doesn't quite fit in with.

Equipment: Asenath is incredibly poor at the moment, only owning what she carries on her.

Abilities: While she can't recall any training or skills she might have, Asenath is no longer human, and does derive some benefits from her change in nature. She no longer eats, drinks, sleeps, or breathes as a human would, though it is inaccurate to say she eschews those functions entirely. While she does not eat regularly or often, she sometimes experiences cravings for strange substances. Water does not appear to be as vital to her as it would be for a human, but she does still thirst every so often, even if she can go for long periods without. While she does not sleep, she does find that she benefits from a more dormant state, and flashes of her memories are more vivid and strange during those times.

Backstory: Unknown. Asenath recalls little, and what she does recall, she is reluctant to share in its entirety. What is known thus far is that the bandages she wears covers a condition that was inflicted upon her, though she is unsure of the circumstances during which it occurred.

Aeia

Alias: N/A

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Eucalyptus Dryad

Age: 16, fully mature, ageless.

Profession: N/A

Description: Aeia has very light, almost white, skin that looks somewhat like it's made of wood. Her hair is made up of a mass of eucalyptus leaves that reach just a bit past her shoulders. Her eyes are a dark green and her ears are quite long and pointed. Aeia is very skinny and has small breasts and fairly narrow hips. She wears a tanktop and short shorts, leaving a lot of skin showing overall.

Avatars:
Spoiler

Personality: Aeia is the type of person to not content herself with the same old thing from day to day. She's always seeking new experiences and new places to see. It makes her a bit flighty, as she's not one to tie herself down. She's quite impatient and needs to keep herself entertained.

Equipment:
Spoiler

Abilities: She has a few abilities granted by her heritage. She can manipulate plants in many ways. She can speak to plants. She can also enter a tree and emerge from another, even over great distances, as long as she's touched the tree before.

Backstory: Aeia spent most of her life near her tree which was thankfully located near a small town. She was able to entertain herself with the various people that would pass by, but she always wished she could roam further than she was capable of.

One day a wizard took an interest in her tree. It was one of few livewood trees, meaning it would live despite being cut down. So the tree was taken and Aeia right along with it. He had intentions of experimenting on her and he actually crafted her tree into a sapient construct, Bark. They managed to escape after messing with some magic scrolls and being transported into the Nexus.

Miscellaneous: She has to remain within a moderately large distance of Bark or she will become sick and die after a few hours. Taking a small piece of him allows her to be away from him for a while, though not for an extended period of time.

Mimi Bloodfang

Alias: N/A

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Pixie

Age: 17

Profession: Hunter

Description: As a pixie, Mimi is very tiny. She stands only around five or six inches tall. Proportionally, she's quite a bit more slender than a human would be. She has a large set of pale green wings that resemble those of a luna moth and she has a pair of antenna poking out from just below her hairline. She has somewhat long fingers, pointed ears, and her brown eyes are a bit large. Her skin is fairly light and her hair is a dark brown. She wears a variety of clothing items that often clash with each other in some way.

Picture:
Spoiler

Personality: Mimi is rather aggressive, though it's nothing compared to some members of her tribe. Education has never been important to her, so in that regard she's rather simple. She is a very curious person, though. She's also quite excitable, quick to anger or joy or any number of emotional extremes. She has a hard time being still, or being inactive in general.

Equipment:
Spoiler

Abilities: Mimi can produce a fine powder commonly known as pixie dust. It's applications are too numerous to count, but it can be summed up in that it manipulates what it's applied to for a limited time.

Backstory: Mimi was born and raised as a part of the Bloodfang pixie tribe located on the edge of the Weald. They are largely hunter gatherers and are not very civilized. They are, however, a tight knit community for the most part. Mimi is the daughter of the current Chieftess, Samantha. This has afforded her some respect, but she's earned it through her reputation as a talented hunter and fierce combatant.

Miscellaneous: Mimi has an enhancement in the form of a colony in her her bones past the elbow in her right arm that controls tiny nanomachines in her blood stream. They speed up her healing and slow aging. Bones mend in a week and a half to two weeks, while shattered bones take three to four weeks to heal. Wounds heal in less time than that, with the exact time varying with the severity of the wound. Limbs will regenerate as well, but it takes months for even the smallest.

Mathias Fellblade



Alias: N/A

Gender: Male

Race: Angel (Fallen)

Age: Many millenia

Profession: Ex-Angel of Vengeance, currently seeking redemption

Description: He has long, white hair and his face, once golden and wondrous to behold, is now ashen and pale, as if he spent the last century devoid of sunlight.

His once resplendant armour is now black and grey, his angelic wings tattered and all but incapable of flight. His sword is long and serrated.

Picture coming soon.



Personality:

As a former Angel of Vengeance, Mathias is quick to anger and often the first to enter a fight. However, he has a strong sense of duty and a burning desire to rid Nexus of evil in all its forms.

Mathias is (or was) regarded by other angels as "strangely human"; prone to emotion-spurred acts seen as outrageous by other angels. In fact, it was these "human" emotions that led to his downfall.




Background:
Spoiler



Hopefully I didn't make him too overpowered? Let me know if he needs to be nerfed

Oliver Green

Alias: Just call him Oliver
Gender: Male
Race/Species: Human
Age: 35
Alignment: Neutral Good
Class/Profession: Test Jet Pilot/ Navigator (Genius)
Power Rating: As a person, D. However, his inventions are on a case by case business.
Description: A blonde-haired caucasian of medium height that usually wears a pilot's jacket and aviator's shades.
Personality: Bold, daring, reckless, and impatient, Oliver's always on the go.
Equipment: Currently has a car at his house that has a hover and a submersible mode. Other than that, he has a recoiless pistol enhanced due to mad scienced with an Exelixi upgrade.
Abilities: Due to being a former Air Force pilot, he has all the associated skills. Also, being a genius, he has an extensive knowledge of mad science that is natural to all Genii. He also has (which comes with being a genius) basic knowledge of how to operate any non Mania-enhanced vehicle. He is especially skilled with any form of vehicle and/or upgrades, being skilled particularly with the axioms of Katastrophi, Apokalypsi, Skafoi, and Exelixi. However, all of his inventions (wonders) fail to work when being touched by a regular mortal, at best just plain not working and at worst exploding violently or becoming orphans (rogue wonders, though some may be benevolent if they are autonomous and have a notion of morality).
Backstory: To come later.

Louv're Tower

Description:This is a massive building. The large chrome tower is built of glass and special metal alloys. The intimidating tower is home to Marciano Louv're and his force of stormtrooper soldiers. Here, Marciano Louv're generally sits around and does nothing while other people work for him. The tower has eighty floors and an extra three hidden floors. The tower is heavily guarded and well secured. Marciano has installed Defense Mechanism ZETA, a powerful supercomputer that constantly watches over the tower. This computer might be the most powerful ever made and is in fact sentient but completely obedient to Marciano. The levels are organized by card access. Each special card can be swiped through a door, it reads the person's access level and Defense Mechanism ZETA makes sure of the person's identity, then a door would open. The place is installed with heavy weaponry, special mecha-cannons on every fifth floor balcony. Only the first thirty floors are available to the public, the next 40 to guards and special guests, the last ten to Marciano, and the hidden floors contain the top secret lab, bio-engineering facility, and Defense Mechanism ZETA's programming room.

The First Thirty Floors [For Public Viewing](Save Lobby): These floors are lavishly decorated, showing off that Marciano is very, very rich and eager to gloat about it. The floors are mainly guest sleeping areas, pools, meeting rooms, and other hotel-like rooms. The in-door pool is very clean, and kept tidy. All of these floors are covered in camera's, the eyes and ears of Defense Mechanism ZETA. These camera's can see through materials, walls, and can even fire lasers at those attempting to break in. The rooms are very comfortable and well-kept. A crew of cleaning people work to keep the place nice and inviting. They do not know what goes on in this tower save that a very wealthy hobbit owns it. There are about one-hundred rooms.

Lobby: This is the big room that seems to welcome all! This nice place is furnished with beautiful oaken desks, fine red carpets, and all sorts of nice things. A few special people run the front desk. Director Braker is always hovering about, earpiece and other special equipment constantly running a scan over any who enter. Director Braker is not very interesting. The man is in his late forties and almost completely mindless, controlled by Defense Mechanisms ZETA, as are all the guards. This room is also monitored heavily by camera's and stormtrooper guards.

The Next Forty Floors [Restricted]

Top Ten Floors [Heavily Restricted]

The Three Hidden Rooms [Accessible Only By Marciano] The three floors contain three different things, listed in the spoiler below.

Lenny R. Oast


Lenny avatar by Mathias2207 (thanks brah)


Alias: None

Gender: Male

Race: Elf

Age: 22

Alignment: Somewhat Chaotic Evil

Class: Fire Mage

Power Ranking: 8

Description: Lenny is very tall, and well fit. He has short, coal-black hair and a large scar across his right cheek. He walks around in a red t-shirt and jeans.

Personality: Lenny is a jerk to anyone he doesn't respect (which is pretty much everyone) and doesn't care about anyone's feelings. He says what he wants, and does what he wants. Basically, he's just an *******.

Equipment: He has firecrackers, B-B-Q sauce, and most notably he almost always carries around a large chunk of meat he eats all day.

Backstory: Lenny is Hoffy's older brother. Growing up together, the two were constant rivals. Lenny was stronger, faster, more talented, and 5 years older than Hoffy. Even so, Hoffy was way smarter than him and always ended up winning the fights they always had somehow. Lenny had a strong gift with the element of fire, so his parents sent him away to a special school for gifted children around the time Hoffy was banished. He used his incredible gift to use and take advantage of the other students. After graduating the top of his class, Lenny returned home. One day, he overheard the village elders saying Hoffy is much more serious threat, and banishment was too soft of a punishment. Lenny personally volunteered to bring Hoffy back for further punishment. He's been chasing him across the world ever since. Failing to catch him time and time again, he now spends most of his time using people and various criminal activities.

After both kids were gone, Lenny's parents started a potion shop. It eventually grew and became the number one shop in the business, making his parents one of the most richest in Nexus. His parents were murdered one day, leaving all the cash to Lenny making him filthy rich. No one knows who murdered them. Some evidence points to Lenny, but not enough to tie him to the crime.

Alice Q



Alias: Miss Q
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: Around 23, although she's not sure what her age is exactly.
Alignment: Neutralish Goodish
Profession: Currently, a saleswoman.
Power Rating: E+, I think. Basically an average human in combat, with no crazy abilities or magic powers. No, seriously.
Description: Alice is slightly taller than average, and very thin. Her skin is unusually pale, almost as if she is ill in some way. Despite this, she would probably be considered pretty by most people, if not beautiful. She has long, straight black hair, usually not very tidy. Her eyes are a vibrant green. She usually wears a white dress, and is rarely seen without her battered black top hat. She seems to favor her left arm, as if it is damaged in some way, although the only difference that can be seen is that it is slightly paler than her right. It is, in fact, the fifth arm that she has had, and hopefully it will be the last.
Personality: Constantly filled with wonder by her surroundings, Alice is filled with enthusiasm and the joy of living. She does have some odd habits, true(such as her sometimes bizarre logic, and her tendency to overreact to situations), but her general outlook is quite sunny. In addition, she has an annoying selflessness, as if she cares more about others than herself. What a strange person!
Equipment: Not much. Well, her top hat deserves mentioning. Although perfectly serviceable as a hat, it is much bigger on the inside, containing an extrademensional space perfect for storing objects of all sorts. Think Hat of Holding. She doesn't use the hat to show off, so even her closest friends usually have no idea what it can do.
Also, various bits and bobs contained in said hat, most of which don't deserve mentioning.
Backstory: To come later. It's a lot creepier than one would think.

Class/Profession: Varies every few months or so. Currently, superheroine.

Power Rating: Probably a solid B.

Description: Standing here is a short, stocky, vivacious young lady, her skin dark and her eyes bright. When I say stocky, I mean the basic definition: she's of a broad, sturdy build. She's possessed of long, thick, dark hair, like a series of smooth electrical cords that actually spark and flash. They're close to dreadlocks, actually - a very large set of dreadlocks. She typically wears fashionable, somewhat revealing clothes.

On to her alter ego's outfit. It seems to be armor, at first glance - steel plates overlapping all down her front and back, then dangling in a metal 'waistcloth' between her hips. Her legs follow suit, with armor on two sides, but it all seems to be merely cosmetic. Her flanks are entirely naked. Purple tattoos, elaborate circles building up to fantastic structures, are inked into her blue skin there.

Gelley's visor, much like her armor, only covers half of her face. The visor itself consists of a slim blue line, made of glass, and a metal frame that encircles her head. Where the visor covers her forehead, an emblem of a burning blue rocket is embedded.

Equipment: When out and about in citizen clothing? Rather little. Gelley typically carries a purse with her, which contains little to no make-up material (augs are there for a reason), a little bag of trail mix, her phone, a very broad-toothed comb, a thick 'scrunchy' for her hair, and a few other minor items.

When out saving people, she has little beyond her 'armor'.

Abilities: Self-propelled rocket jumps and near flight are the most prominent ones. The armor Gelley wears isn't purely cosmetic - it attaches to her body and the ridges fold different directions, allowing for controlled bursts of heat to propel herself through the air. She possesses near invulnerability due to a tight-range forcefield and regenerative properties for her mostly artificial skin. Her muscles and joints are reinforced enough to withstand several thousand pounds of lifted material, so she's also quite strong.

Perhaps other cybernetic powers. Her visor has an extensive scanning system, for blood, heat, motion, and other things.

Backstory: Gelley came from a rich and powerful family, especially given the post-apocalyptic setting of their world. Her parents - a doctor and a drunk only ever had three children, all girls. Gelley was always a curious and excitable child, and so she became as an adult.

Due to a lack of attention from her parents, Gelley leaned heavily on her sisters, more heavily than either of them. However, unlike the younger Fettina, she outgrew that need for attention and dependence on others. With a combination of differing opinions and some very bad habits on Tina's part, the rift between them grew until they were hardly speaking.

Gelley set to travelling, exploring the many options for her career. Zoologist, biologist, explorer, adventurer, boxer, and a two dozen others. When she got a vid-message from Tina - something about a 'Nexus' - Gelley became intrigued. She'd been looking for a more free, vigilante-tolerant city to take her latest shot at greatness. She wants to be a hero. A champion of good and a beacon of power. With some of the most dangerous, expensive human augmentations available to the public, and some less than legal cybernetics, Gelley has become Divebomb. At least, that is the working title.

Default Re: Nexus Character Directory

T'ralss Várn

Alias: The Drowlord, Fireblade, Daggers

Gender: Male

Race: Half drow/quarter demon/quarter elf

Age: Equivalent in human: 37

Alignment: If it gives me followers, power, or money, yes.

Class: Warlord/Arcane Fighter

Rank: C.

Description: This drow is thin, almost lanky, but very wiry. His eyes, glowing green in color, are almost dodgy most of the time. He tends on the side of paranoia, but he is rather charismatic. He likes impressing people with his skill. A quirk of his advanced mind is that he enjoys any kind of competitive games that rely on tactics. His skin is pure black, a sure sign of drow nobility where he comes from. He wears a typical leather suit of armor, with a hidden suit of chain-and-plate mail underneath. His neck is encircled by a silverlike torc with a spider and runes on it.

Personality: Somewhat aloof, but very charming if he wants to be. A little sinister, but that must just be because he's a drow. He has an aura of competence. He, to his rare real friends, is fanatically loyal. He also enjoys spicy food and good drink a bit overmuch.

Equipment: A suit of fiend-forged armor, thirteen daggers stashed various places in his clothing, a thin but strong sawtoothed scimitar with demonic traits, and a torc that allows him to cast webs at people.

Backstory: In a world like Faerun, the drow were the ultimate warriors. They rose from the Underdark and slew the surface peoples and enslaved them. He was a minor noble, of the once-favored house Várn, the former drow royalty that were deposed for being kind to the surface-dwellers. He had a few followers, very loyal to him. Nobody expected much from a kid genius.
He rose in a bloody war that made frequent use of smear tactics, hit and run and martyrage, destroying the houses of nobility one by one with ruthlessness. He hated how they gloated over intelligent, suffering beings.
The last house was ten times as powerful as his, and his house was destroyed. He escaped into a mysterious rift to try and rebuild a resistance to the drow empire, and to free all the other races. And found himself in the Nexus.

Pavati

Alias: N/A

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Selkie

Age: 20

Profession: N/A

Description: She's fairly small and plump. Her skin is a grey-brown with a scattering of light spots down her back and the backs of her arms. Atop her head is a mop of dark brown hair that hangs down a bit past her shoulders. Curiously, she doesn't appear to have legs. Instead of legs, her lower body widens a bit and has the tail flippers of a sea lion.

Pavati has quite large eyes for her face, and the whites are only visible in the very corners. Sticking out to either side from her eyebrows are three long and ridged hairs and several smaller similar ones; Sort of like whiskers. Her lips are somewhat thin and her nose is small and round. Her fingers are webbed and tipped with claws. She wears only a red bikini top to cover her ample breasts.

Avatars:
Spoiler

Personality: Pavati is a very friendly individual. She's bubbly and perhaps a bit ditsy. It's hard to keep her spirit down, even at the worst of times; She's an eternal optimist. Crude advances from men are bound to leave her mildly angry, while on the other hand, a charmer is sure to catch her interest.

Equipment:
Spoiler

Abilities: Pavati possesses no noteworthy abilities.

Backstory: Pavati comes from a small tribe of selkies that live in an ocean in the Nexus. She took an interest the land beyond the beaches one day when observing a group of "land people". After some time she decided to act on her curiosity and travel inland to explore. It was perfect timing, as she was starting to get fed up with the frequent and crude advances she'd been receiving do to it being mating season.

Miscellaneous: N/A

Emmi

Avatar by Gulghar.

Real Name and Aliases: Emily Dickinson Aramil; Beautiful M.E.

Race: Urban Elf

Age: 16

Profession: Artist

Description: A sixteen year old girl with curly brown hair. She has elf-like ears but how elf factors into her heritage is currently undecided. She mostly wears rainbow and tie-dye colored shirts. She's also always in reach of her headphones and her bright red roller skates.

Personality: Friendly as they come, Emmi takes the most pleasure in bringing her special definition of beauty to the world, this mostly involves using grafitti to brighten up otherwise drab or depressing streets. She loves bright colors, fast music, and roller skating, all three luckily come together in her chosen "career path" as a graffiti artist. She's a hippie at heart, inspired by her mother's activism. She's an environmentalist, a pacifist, and a vegetarian. She's considered veganism, but has no intent on giving up ice cream, so screw that.

Equipment: -Her rollerskates, which make her quicker than most on foot. She's as agile as a dancer in them, probably more than her own two feet.
-A duck call whistle she uses to signal her friends. All members of The Guild have one.
-A paint gun which can change colors mid spray.

Backstory: She was raised by a single mother with her two elder brothers. That's all I have for now.

BONUS CONTENT: The Guild

The Guild is an underground club of graffiti artists, originally focused on covering up gang symbols in the city of Inside. Eventually the club became rather famous among the local club and music community and were sought out for concert advertisements and events. It almost became a sort of weird prestige to have them do a piece for you. In addition to supporting local bands, younger members constantly asked for extra tags to get better at art. With the weekly painting jobs, the Guild became an art club all it's own. They often work at night and masked, spending a night on a piece and dispersing just before dawn. They have a series of safe houses magically hidden all over inside and are very organized, having several get away plans. It's members include:

General Surgeon: Sometimes called "The Doc." He's a professor of engineering by day and the eldest member of the Guild by night. He built everyone's paint guns, which can change the color of the paint, even mid-spray.

Freakin A!: The group's foul mouthed member, who doesn't really understand that they try to do things stealthily. In the club almost more for the stickin' it to the man than the art. He loves loud music and "Fightin' the powers that be."

Shady Springs: The huge yet silent guy. He built like a tank, and how his skates support his weight is astounding. Only Doc knows anything about him. He's a good artist and a loyal guild member, so no one complains.

Speakeasy: Second oldest but second newest. He's new at graffiti art but he's actually in the advertising industry and an expert calligrapher.

All-Hallows Eve: Obsessed with anime and manga, the distinct, blue haired, and excessively bubbly otaku has every frame of manga she's ever read memorized. As the only member who knows magic, she casts the enchantments that hide the safe houses and spells that keep the paintings from fading or being painted over for weeks. Ships A!xSprings.

Impractical Joker: The youngest member, fourteen year old Joker is the resident "little perv." The other members are hoping he'll grow out of it.

Beautiful M.E.: Emmi. Her profile is up at the top. What more do you want?

Gaalys Merrin

Aliases: A man has many names.

Race: Human

Age: 32

Alignment: Neutral

Profession: Assassin

Description: Gaalys is a man of short and slender build, and is very agile. Currently, he has a narrow face with long white-yellow hair tied back with a leather band. His eyes are green, and his nose is prominent and hooked. Half of his left ear has been cut off.

Personality: Gaalys is a very friendly man, quick to smile and forgive. He enjoys buying drinks for anyone he deems fit, which helps win him over to his targets. He rarely drinks, though, to keep his head clear. While he doesn't know many jokes, he laughs easily and always will take up a song.

Equipment: Gaalys' best weapons are his wits and special abilities. However, he carries a long slender saber and a simple, easily concealed dagger.

Abilities: Face Changing- As one of the Faceless Men of Braavos, Gaalys can change his face with just the pass of his hand. This is very useful when he is avoiding detection while on a job. Any face and name he has is temporary.

Agility- Growing up in the narrow canals and alleys of Braavos, Gaalys has developed impeccable footing in the most unsure situations.

Huevo Portero

Race: Created being. maker was lazy when it came to names

Age:?

Description: Long white hair, blank dull red eyes, red jacket with white tie and white pants and two gold bracelets to round it out the sort of odd colors. A little bit short.

Personality: Huevo seems to be dispassionate about things in general. Seems to be fairly formal in interactions to others.

Power Rating: C-

Huevo isn't focused on conflict and is more likely then to teleport out than fight anything.
However Huevo can make deals and bargains that have far greater affect then any power that he can use himself.

Finbar Ranatunga
Alias: None
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 23
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Class: Commoner
Power Rating: 1
Description: Finbar is a thin man of both Irish and Ceylonese decent, approximately five foot seven inches. He has brown eyes that are usually covered by his black, messy hair (which, while not very long, is not neatly cut either). He is always seen wearing green, as it is his favorite color, and usually wears a sweatshirt. He is not muscular at all, and most of the time he looks as though he is living in his own little world.
Personality: Finbar tends to be very rigid in the way he interacts with others, likely the result of a developmental disorder he has yet to be officially diagnosed with. He rarely goes out of his way to talk to people unless he specifically needs something, but will happily continue any conversation that someone else instigates. He likes to memorize facts that other might deem useless, and also enjoys learning about science and history. He does not like being overwhelmed, and tends to just shut down when such a situation occurs. Despite his seeming inability to become emotionally attached to people, those he interacts with on a regular basis are usually regarded as friends that he would do anything to help. Once he becomes accustomed to certain people, he opens up far more easily. Finbar is quite stubborn and set in his ways, and easily becomes frustrated when someone tries to disrupt his sense of order.
Equipment: Finbar keeps all of his personal belongings in a large backpack that he is always wearing. Inside is a collection of 19th Century American three dollar bills, his father's old zippo lighter (which he clicks open and shut when nervous), extra clothing, an M2 Individual Med Kit, two encyclopedias, and a self-developing camera.
Powers: Besides his near-photogenic memory, Finbar has no ability that a standard human wouldn't have.
Backstory: Finbar grew up in the United States during the 1930s. He found himself to be an outcast among his peers, so he spent the majority of his early life with family. Their actions and personalities would shape both Finbar's interests and the way he views himself. After the death of his last living relative in 1953, spent about a month roaming the Eastern Coast before nearly being mugged in Charlotte, North Carolina. During the attempted mugging, Finbar was hit hard upon the head with a pistol, and when he awakened he was in the Nexus. He is unsure of how this happened, but he is glad that it did; he know has the opportunity to explore and see things no one from his world could have even dreamed of.

5 OUNCES OF TABASCO
Default Re: Nexus Character Directory

Name: Vesa Landers
Age: 24
Race: Human Revenant
Appearance: Vesa is a fairly attractive girl, slender and rather pale, with silvery hair reaching to her shoulderblades. Her eyes are the dull greenish-grey of a stormy sea, and her frame is somewhat lanky. She has a small cableport at the back of her neck, which is usually covered by a plug (and her hair).

Enhancements/Armorsuit: Vesa wears a dark grey bodysuit with boots and gloves. Over that, she wears a kama (halfskirt/buttcape/etc) that reaches below the knee. This hides a small hover unit that allows her to glide a meter or two off the ground (actual flight is not supported by it). On her head is a sort of inverted bowl-like structure referred to as a "bell" (i.e. part of cnidarian anatomy) around 2 feet in diameter and 6 inches at its deepest, such that much of her head is hidden within it; on the front, back, and each side is a camera eye. In each section between the eyes, there are 3 Sensacles (explained below) making a total of 12.
Spoiler


Spoiler


Equipment: One normal pistol with magazines. One dart pistol with tranquilizer ammo. Her bodily enhancements give her very good aim.

Personality: Vesa retains some parts of her living personality; she is rather cold and withdrawn, quiet and occasionally allowing herself brief moments of wryness. She is disturbed by being in a large crowd, and prefers when her duties keep her away from lots of people.
Vesa has very little in the way of "mercy"; if her orders are to go deal with that guy over there, she really isn't interested in how he's got 4 kids and he's working 3 jobs. She's interested in whether she's supposed to kill him or not.

Backstory: Most of Vesa's backstory is unknown, but it is clear that she signed on to be a Revenant at some point, died, and was converted into the cybernetically-enhanced postmortem being she currently is. She was transferred to the Clinic to help with security and observation there.

Nalhriir Zaer'adinzyr Ate'torund Seneschal of Horror, Keeper of the Savage Orb

Alias: He tends to go by Nal, or more formally as Nalhriir. In his personal writings, he refers to himself by titles that either no longer have any meaning, or else cannot be traced to any reliable source.

Gender: Male (presumably, see description)

Race/Species: He most resembles a Fey'ri, though what his right race is none know the dark of it.

Age: 300 by his counting but it varies (see description/elementary backstory)

Alignment: True Neutral, though in an apathetic way, not a balancey-druidy way.

Class/Profession: Planewalker and spellslinger-for-hire

Power Rating: 5/C(B??)

Description: A tall figure, hooded and cloaked with large, bat-like wings that appear slightly translucent, as if they were composed of matter that is not quite solid. A long, sinewy, prehensile tail, which also appears slightly "out", snakes out from underneath his cloak and coils behind it. The features one can make out underneath the cowl appear elven, although the fierce red eyes that shine back out would make one re-consider that evaluation. If one ever sees him with his hood down, the elven-seeming appearance is re-affirmed, although now one can see that the shadowy translucence of the wings and tail extend to the rest of his body, and sometimes it looks as if one could put one's hand right through him. The most solid-seeming part of his face are his eyes, which burn fire-red. One of the more telling aspects of his appearance is that there is no discernible indication of gender. It is only his use of masculine pronouns that makes cutters assume he is a male.

Personality: Despite a somewhat foreboding appearance and pessimistically cynical exterior, Nalhriir is actually relatively pleasant. He thrives on information and loves to talk, especially when it concerns philosophy. Where he comes from, belief (or lack thereof) shapes whole worlds, and he encourages thought, particularly when it agrees with his own. He does seem to possess two separately voiced minds, though; one of which speaks lightly and pleasantly, and one which is darker and more formal. The first seems and sounds perfectly normal. The second, however, sounds distant and echoed, as if what one hears coming from his mouth is actually originally coming

Equipment: If one were to strip-search Nalhriir, one would find no possessions on him save the clothes he was wearing and a flask of some obscure liquor. He patently does have equipment and objects, as he has been seen with spellbooks, wands, staves, armour, and other such objects, though no trace has ever been found of them when he is not directly using them.

Backstory: [transcribed from a stolen page from the journal of the Planewalker known as Nalhriir.] I am called the Seneschal of Horror, the Sage of the Savage Orb. It has been several centuries since I was reborn into this world. I can no longer remember my true name, only the names that were given me upon awakening. I remember...nothing of the time before my rebirth. At times I can see the edges of a vision swirl around the pools in my home. In them, a mortal, whose shape I seem to see resemble my own, stands in an infinite plane of Nothingness. He looks out and his mind cannot bear the weight. Then something comes, something dark and powerful, that seems to fill the empty expanse with something that is still Nothing. The mortal seems to talk to the thing, but then the pools eddy and the vision slips away.

It seems to me that I was reborn for a purpose, but that purpose evades my sight. The thirty decades that I have seen pass in this life have revealed naught but still I wander far from my home, because that was one of the names given to me upon my awakening. That which guides me is Nothing and I begin to suspect...
[transcription breaks off as the page dissolved into wisps of insubstantial matter before the scriber could finish.]

Miscellaneous: The two voice colours are for indicating which side of Nalhriir is consciously active at the time. For those rare times when both sides are active, the darker voice will be spoilered, as it is generally more internal and introspective, and really only there if the people around him happen to be telepathic.

Asta of Rising Earth


Alias:
Gender: F.
Race/Species: Wild Elf
Age: 87 (23)
Alignment: Lawful Neutral.
Class/Profession: Circus acrobat, occasional slayer of thieves
Power Rating: C- or so
Description: Like this with less blue
Personality: She's incredibly stringent about honor and the repayment of debts, and especially dislikes "criminal" types. Also if you try to steal from her or someone she cares about, she'll cut off your hand. This should sum things up.
Equipment: She doesn't carry much expensive loot, though a talisman that she keeps insanely close and hidden with her holds incredible magical power, and would be worth a fortune to any spellcasters that could perform the rituals required to unlock its power. For her, however, it's just an heirloom that took a great deal of effort to get back.
Abilities: Insane physical talents, especially when it comes to agility/reflexes.
Backstory: Asta was once a wild elf living among a family of them out in the woods, far away from the city. It was here she learned the first of her roguish talents, climbing up to and sneaking up on smaller animals. However, eventually the city came closer to her, and this was where the problems started. Very few in her old community would dare take the talisman that represented her family heritage from her father, its current owner at the time. Few in the encroaching city even knew it was there. B

But some way, somehow, the city's Thieves Guild had gotten wind of it. And they wanted that sale. So they tried buying it, but none in the family would sell it. They tried threats, but none in the family would let them be a concern.

So then they carried them out. The beatings, the harassment, the death...it all became too much for Asta eventually, especially when the thieves finally took the heirloom. She swore their deaths, and her wandering days began...

...though her first attempts at vengeance were clumsy at best. She would've died if it weren't for a Tiefling Bard named Hirel, who agreed to help her with her honor-fulfilling, though she'd have to do things his way. It was then her days as a circus acrobat began, and this is what led her to Nexus.

Miscellaneous: She speaks in an accent. Weirdly spelled and punctuated words might not be errors. [/quote]

Hirel Alevan


Alias: The Ringmaster.
Gender: M
Race/Species: Tiefling
Age: 35
Alignment: Neutral Good
Class/Profession: Traveling performer, ex-recruiter/liason for thieves' guild, bard
Power Rating: C
Description: This, but less red and wearing a top hat.
Personality: He's an incredibly savvy and smart fellow, but he's compassionate to a fault, particularly towards outcasts.
Equipment: Some enchanted circus props and items of stone shape, telekinesis...he can get you hooked up pretty quickly, really.
Abilities: Supernaturally effective orator, knows some magic.
Backstory: Hirel was born an orphan in the city, and he--growing up among those who were more influenced by his natural charisma than the fears of the surrounding populace, didn't endure much persecution for his race. He did, however, endure plenty of persecution when he decided to question some of the orphans' traditions, of beating up newcomers, those they disliked, and so forth. Nevertheless, he brought a great deal of the orphans to his understanding, and these attributes both managed to impress a bard working for a local thieves' guild, operating, at the time, sort of like a "Liberation Front" that "stuck it to the man" only.

While this wasn't how things really were, Hirel believed it at first, so when the bard took him in and trained him, Hirel was pretty loyal. It was when Hirel learned the true nature of the facade that he struck off on his own...
Miscellaneous: Anything else that you wanna put down.[/quote]

Faction Entry

Charlie's Family

The charismatic sitar player known as Charlie formed a cult of personality in the city of Inside. His teachings were rather incoherent, but were loosely based around human supremacy over other species.

After his death, Charlie's followers continued to believe he was still alive and guiding them. A new leader named Brian took over, but all things spiritual are referred to as coming from Charlie. He has also clarified the message somewhat. He considers it as the responsibility of humans to guide the lesser races, as well as to prevent mixing of species.

Anyone keeping up with current events may have heard of the cult or seen the video of Charlie's last speech and death. Anyone who wants to play a cult member is welcome to do so. If they are genuine human supremacists, membership can be handwaved. If they are trying to infiltrate, then gaining the trust of the members will need to be roleplayed.

They can be encountered at The Sitar's Strings, an exclusive restaurant that has an all human staff, and only serves humans. They have a secret Research Institute for Humanist Studies, but it's, you know, secret. And mostly working offscreen due to the lack of PC scientists.

If Charlie's philosophy, insanity, and the rabid devotion of his followers seem familiar, it's because he's based on a real life Charlie, and a rather famous one at that.



Notable members:

  • Brian Starling: Leader. Large, well-dressed man with polite speech
  • Jan Lamar: Witness to Charlie's last moments
  • Emily Lamar: Jan's teenage daughter. Knows martial arts
  • Linda Mann: Witness to Charlie's last moments, Assassinated Harpoontok
  • Leah Loveman: Killed a human couple, the Saviks, and kidnapped their baby for the purposes of infiltrating Remnant via the Penal Company
  • Darlene: Became horrified with the group's crimes and gave evidence to Remnant in exchange for a lesser sentence
  • Kareem: Melee bodyguard, works as a roofer
  • Hettie: Firearms bodyguard, tall and lanky

Notable crimes:
  • Murder of the Saviks
  • Robbing a rich elderly couple (with the intention of murdering them and framing goblins for the crime, but got caught before then)
  • Arson/murder - burning down a crowded tenement house in the slums - dozens killed, including Captain Jefferies of Remnant's Firebug team, and the family of the little orc girl adopted by Jyarl
  • Assassination of Magtok on live television

Sequoia

Alias: N/A

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Redwood Dryad

Age: 38, ageless (20s HPME*)

Profession: Lieutenant Colonel of Support in Remnant

Description: Sequoia is a very tall woman, standing at about six feet four inches. Her shin skin is a red-brown colour and her hair is made up of some evergreen greenery. Her eyes are a lighter shade of brown and her ears are very long and pointed. She's certainly an attractive woman with her generous curves and long legs. Her clothing is typically fitted and flattering, but always tasteful.

Avatars:

Personality: Sequoia is a level headed, professional woman. She's basically a good person and has a strong sense of duty. She's a social person, generally prefering to spend time with others in a variety of setting and situations as opposed to being alone.

Equipment:
Spoiler

Abilities: She has a few abilities granted by her heritage. She can manipulate plants in many ways. She can speak to plants. She can also enter a tree and emerge from another, even over great distances, as long as she's touched the tree before.

Backstory: Sequoia was born in a redwood forest not far from the city of Inside. She spent most of her early life there before discovering that she could explore the city at will due to the large range of her bond to her trees.

She has spent the rest of her life in Inside, as she took well to life there. She took an interest in the military and ended up joining up with the Empire. Sh climbed rapidly through the ranks until she reached her current position. When the Empire fell, she stayed on with Remnant and has been a part of it since.

Miscellaneous: Sequoia's tree is actually a whole forest of redwoods. The reason there are so many is they are a clonal colony. This gives her a much larger range, including a large area around the forest. This area encompasses Inside. Should she leave this range, she would grow sick and die after a number of hours. She can temporarily leave the range provided she takes a piece of one of her trees.
