I'd like to join. Possibly. Gonna see what I can come up with. Edit; definitely want in, feeling a bit sick at the moment, but I'll try to have up a character soon. I'm going for a heavy hitter. Been playing a two-handed weapon specialist in Skyrim of late, and that seems like it might be fun to play. |

That was the worst thing - the fury of a Time Lord - and then we discovered why. Why this Doctor, who had fought with gods and demons, why he had run away from us and hidden. He was being kind.

Name: Alexei Tiamet Description: Race: Human Height & Weight: 5'10" - 134lbs. Physical Description: A very rough looking man Alexei has sun tanned skin and very lean muscles. The very limited food supplies of the city have left him rather scrawny and the few pickings he does find outside aren't enough to build up much weight. His hair is a light brown with small streaks of sun bleached blond, and his hazel eyes give the illusion of looking a thousand miles. Physical Image Age: 28 Personality: Survival. Everything comes down to survival for Alexei. Whether it be working with a group or going solo Alexei will do whatever it takes to survive. For most of his life he hunted with his village but, by leaving his people his cooperative group skills were relatively weakened and his strongest efforts come forth now when he is alone. The way Alexei sees things is, if he has to kill another for his food he has no qualms about digging them a grave after. That's not to say he'll slaughter a small population for a single piece of bread but, that he cherishes his life above others. Deep inside Alexei's mind he believes that by somehow collecting these Relics he will stumble upon one that can eventually end this battle for survival and renew the world to its once prosperous state. Though, that's all just wishful thinking right now. Background: A nomadic human, Alexei was raised to survive in the slowly dying wilds and make use of whatever he could find to live that one extra day. If you were to describe him as something it would be a ranger, a master of marksmanship and tracking prey. Alexei was born to a small village of nomadic humans that were barely surviving on anything but the occasional animal and plenty of edible herbs. From a young age he was taught many useful skills like tracking, swordsmanship, marksmanship, cooking, and even trap making. Meals with the tribe were often short and very scarce but, enough was gathered each day for no one to go hungry. As he grew the stories of the mystical relics his tribe told inspired him to take up his bow and sword and leave for the cities to gather information on anything related to the Relics. Life was hard inside the city though, so many new things were happening to the nomad that he almost died his first week there. Soon though he began to understand just how things worked in the city and even picked up the handy skill of lockpicking from a kind beggar he traded food for information with. Abilities: All scores must add up to 24. Scores go from 1-10, 5 is average. -Physique: 6 -Agility: 8 -Intellect: 5 -Charm: 5 Skills: Ranged Combat - Bows - Alexei is very skilled in the use of a bow and carries one with him any time he leaves his place of residence. Light Swordsmanship - Shortswords - Alexei has some skill fighting with blades no bigger than 4ft. and generally carries a blade with him to finish off prey and collect choice pieces of meat. Hunting - Alexei can track and trap his prey using various traps and tricks taught to him by his village. Survival - Alexei is hardened against the environment and poor living conditions and can survive on very little food and water. Lockpicking - Moderate - Taught to pick locks by the beggar-thief Alexei has no real use for the skill outside the city. Aside from the few chests a relic hunter comes across there are few that are within Alexei's field of skill to even attempt to pick. The blame for this is most likely the poor security locks that protect the lower city Alexei lived in. Dibs on Ranger. I guess that works, I'll see about finding a picture.[/spoiler] Edited by Vanity&Ecstasy, April 29, 2012, 1:45 pm.

Sorry Achilles, if we're going by a first serve basis here, I claimed it (publicly), and don't really wanna do another character type this time. I can't finish until Comrade is done, as my character is linked to his, and the info he is creating, I require in order to finish. If however, I am denied that role, I will more than likely withdraw and whatever happens then, happens. Please don't take this as aggressive or rude. Jãhar Ausare |

Wow, this is a lot more popular than I expected it to be. 1) Comrade: Non-human races won't get any automatic adjustments for abilities or skills. The abilities still have to add up to the same amount, but I strongly encourage you to allocate them to fit whatever stereotypes you think would apply to the species. The way I think of it, you could have a beefy, clumsy elf. They might not be very common, but they exist. 2) Calling dibs: I see no reason why there can't be more than one warrior, or ranger-type character, etc. 3) Vanity: 5 skills. You could lump tracking and trap making into "hunting," and cooking doesn't really require a whole skill, unless he's particularly talented at it. Roasting meat over a fire is pretty easy. Cavemen figured it out, after all. You don't have to list how talented you are at each, either. Think of it as tagging something you're exceptional at. You can still do things you didn't spend a skill on, you're just not any better than an average person might be. 4) Twisted: You might not get something that specific for your wishlist item, but it'll at least be a big awesome hammer of foe-squishing. 5) Comrade again: I will read your long-ass backstory when I'm not so tired. ![]() 6) There's a spot saved for Achilles. Don't forget, only 6 people. |

Ok, that's fine. I wasn't exactly sure what you were aiming for with the wishlist items, so I kinda just fleshed it out a good bit. But yeah, just a huge powerful hammer that has some reason for being better/more versatile than his current, one would work, haha. |

Silly Keeper. You don't have to compete. I stop posting to talk to you, not the other way around. Anyways, if you haven't posted in this thread before right now, you're too late. We have enough people. I don't mean "posted a character," I just mean posted. |

Deleted User watches as the large crystalline gates of the role play close shut, sealing off the outside world. "We've made it just in time... Thank the gods." He huffed, placing his hands on his knees, doubling over struggling to catch his breath. "It's a good thing too," he paused, looking up at those lucky enough to have made it inside the chamber "those things out there, were looking quite hungry." With that, Deleted User sat down, leaning his head against the cool, damp, stone wall; paying no mind to the various insects scurrying across the surface of the rock. "I'll be over here, if anyone needs me." Without anything more, Deleted User closed his eyes and in moments slipped off to sleep; the soft, shallow breathing and stillness a dead giveaway to his lack of rest the past several nights. ~*****~ Several hours had passed and Deleted User finally awoke from his unintentional slumber. Waking with a yawn, he rubbed at his eyes with the back of his arm before straining to see if anyone had moved within the chamber: they had not. In fact, it seemed as if they had all been turned to stone. "By the Gods! have you all been bitten by a basilisk!?" It seemed they had, fore no one responded. Standing in total silence, blank stares upon their faces. Unsure of what to do, Deleted User walked up to their leader and placed a hand on his shoulder; a horrible mistake. The stone-skin quickly traveled from the statuesque being and spread onto Deleted User 's arm, quickly migrating across his upper body and finally across his entire body. With a grimace, Deleted User attempted to move; it was too late however and he suddenly fell silent, the same pained face, a scream of agony carved into stone. |

Name: Half-Pint Description: Half-Pint is 24 years old and is a Dwarf. He isn't, however, your typical, gruff, angry, hard-hitting miner. At 4ft 8in he is a tall dwarf. He is also skinny for a dwarf. Most Dwarves you think of as muscular, he is actually quite lanky for a dwarf, having no outstanding muscle or of girth. He lacks a full beard and keeps a much shorter, 'scruffy avenger' kind of look. He is, however exceptional at knife throwing, archery, and marksmanship (Crossbow, not gun). He, also like the rest of his kind, is not an aggressive man. He isn't angry and is in fact a very relaxed calm person. He doesn't get offended if you call him short, or small, or swear at him, or really do anything. He doesn't care if you insult him, his family, his grandparents, his god, his dog, his cat or his pet fish for that matter. The only time he really gets angry is when he is assaulted by and unprovoked attacker. (i.e. Someone is trying to pick a fight with him, he's trying to get out of it, and hen they just throw a punch.) He doesn't go looking for fights, but if he has to, isn't afraid to go for their life. Background: Half-Pint was born in the mountains to his family. Not many Dwarves remain so the few that do live deep in the mountains. He was always and odd child. Just odd. No other word to describe it. While others went off to mine and work on their axes or what not he would go off and try to invent something. He would spend hours pouring over old books, trying to come up with new creations. Most of his ideas were good, but he didn't have the resources to complete any of them to working conditions. So he left to go find them. Whether it was gold or raw material or even blueprints for old machines he would take what he could get and send it to his family in the mountains. They never really understood him, nor did they ever full support him, but they didn't discourage him. Whenever he send them raw material or gold they save it for him in the abandoned shop of the mine. Abilities: -Physique: 3 -Agility:5 -Intellect: 10 -Charm: 4 Skills: Ranged Weaponry- Everything from Bows to Crossbows to Throwing Knives and Throwing Axes. Being his lack of strength the latter half are only good in closer quarters, and more for distraction really. However he is good with bows and Excels with crossbows. He was even very good with a rifle, the one time he got a chance to fire one. (He would much like a chance to fire one again). Pyrotechnics- Things that go BOOM!!! Now do to the lack of availability of gunpowder he's not the best with it. He can't crank out satchel charges, bombs, grenades or anything like that. But he know whats flammable, how flammable it is, and how to see it ablaze. Molotov cocktails and other things of such nature. Inventing- From defensive to aggressive to supportive and just plain useful. He can rig up intruder alarms, or make a trip wire release knives and flammables from the ceiling, develop bi-pods for crossbows and he even invents hings civilian might find useful (Folding chairs/tables, lifts for unloading carts, even some kids toys). Problem Solving- The ability to get from A to C, without B. Getting the job done in a efficient way with whatever you have. Puzzle doors, puzzles, inventions, broken equipment. Not much else I can say. Most problems he'll find away around it. A way That isn't what normal people would come up with. Light Armor- Being that he's not a typical dwarf, he doesn't wear typical Dwarven armor. He doesn't clatter and clank when he walks. His armor is thick hardened leather. He has iron bracers and an iron helmet, but those are the only metal armor pieces on him. Wishlist

The homemade flamethrowers might be a bit much to start with, but a bottle of moonshine with a flaming rag stuffed in the bottle neck is fine. Also, contraption making could go under Inventor since they're basically the same thing, and Ingenuity is really vague. |
