Name: Dara

Age: 23

Race: Human with some Nagastan blood in her

Gender: Female

Alignment: True neutral

Physical: She is 5 feet tall with ears that rise about a half inch above her head, the only real sign of any connections to the Nagastans. Dark brown hair about shoulder length, dark brown eyes, pale complexion. Other than her ears, her most memorable feature is the scar that runs horizontally across the length of her stomach.

Clothing: Whatever is comfortable and available. She has inherited a love of beads and adornments and can be seen wearing odd assortments of jewelry, both beautiful and tacky. Her hands get very cold very easily, so she’ll often wear gloves. And a hat, to cover her ears.

Occupation: She’s attempted many jobs, including but not limited to diver, waitress, priestess’s assistant, and journalist. Currently she is a scribe, but she’s not very good at remembering many details without her trusty pen and paper.

Skills/abilities: She’s good at guessing – she’s not an oracle, but her off-the-wall guesses are correct more than half of the time. She’s also pretty handy with a dagger, but can’t use it often (squeamish). Her real weapon of choice is poison, whether deadly, paralyzing, or simply mind-clouding.

Supernatural abilities: She can sprout another set of arms when in extreme physical or emotional situations. She’s been studying alterist magic for a while in hopes of a better career somewhere down the road.

Possessions: A set of self-brewed poisons, a relatively new dagger, lots of pen and paper, mountains of jewelry (sometimes actually worth something), a length of sturdy rope, and a pack that contains clothes and other travelling essentials.

History: She grew up surrounded by her family – Nagastans and humans. She was happy and very much involved in her heritage, including her grandfather’s poison-making lessons. When she was about fourteen, most of her family was slaughtered in a hate crime against Nagastans and those associated with them. She was presumed dead after a large portion of her stomach was cut out, but was healed by an alterist cousin before he, too, died.

Since then, she has held most beings in distain, preferring to focus on her own achievements and career goals instead of forming attachments to others. Any of these hate crimes that she has witnessed she has done her best to end with her handy dandy poisons in the throats of the instigators. She was once almost caught after murdering a pair trying to burn a family of Orcs alive, but escaped to the nearest Luanian church, where she begged the priestess for a job. Since then, she has been drifting in and out of jobs and towns, all while trying to learn something about alterist magic.

Personality: She’s not a sociopath, per se, but has become incapable of caring about the well-beings of most others. The only times she is really compelled to act is when she sees others, especially families, as victims of hate. Dara has a biting, world weary sarcasm, but is still able to be kind when she deems necessary.

Interesting facts: Her memory sucks. If you’ve met her less than ten times, odds are she won’t remember your face. She’s equally bad with names.

She wants a child. Badly. Even though she doesn’t like people, she subconsciously wants a family to replace the one she lost.

She’s saving up for a house near the Nagastan border, right in an area where alterists are in high demand.

When she was little, she was best friends with a spellwolf until he moved back to the Winter Archipelago.

She really likes swimming and diving and is damn good at it.

Name: Pak-cha

Age: 23

Race: Human?

Gender: Male

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Physical: Pak-cha, for all intensive purposes, looks like a normal human save for a few things. He is abnormally tall, standing at a good 6'10, and he has four arms instead of two. Other than that, he appears normal with tanned skin, a semi-muscular build, dark shoulder-length hair, and dark blue eyes.

Clothing: Pak-cha typically wears a set of darkened fullplate armor underneath a black cloak. Black boots and gloves.

Occupation: Formerly a slave to a pack of vicious humans, he has since escaped and wandered the world looking for a place and purpose. He has recently taken up the mantle of mercenary.

Skills: Despite his only semi-muscular physique, Pak-cha possesses great strength. Because of being forced to fight in underground betting tournaments and slave labor, his strength surpasses normal humanoids. He also has a good knowledge of a few fighting styles and has worked to develop his own. However, he has below average intelligence and is slow on the uptake in many situations.

Supernatural Abilities: None

Possessions: Pak-cha only possesses a normal longsword, heavy mace, battleaxe, and warhammer.

History:
Pak-cha wasn't born into slave labor, but he might as well have been. Being forced into a life of slavery at a young age (9), he never knew who his parents were. Having only vague visions in his memory of them, he was told by the other slaves that he was alone when he was taken.

However, he has always possessed the strange physical characteristic of four arms instead of two. No one had heard of that, thus being unable to answer any questions he had about where he came from or what he was.

He continued to live the life of a slave for 8 years until one day, he broke up a fight between two slaves, giving a great display of his strength and use of his four arms. Having watched him break up the fight, several of the slave drivers realized that Pak-cha could be trained to win them money in the underground fighting tournaments. So they took him in and began giving him basic training as his "owners" with weapons, while still maintaining a certain degree of watch and supervision save Pak-cha try to escape.

At the age of 17, Pak-cha had his first underground fight and won with relative ease. Showing great skill and prowess with his obvious physical advantages, he began climbing the underground tournament ladders until he became a fan favorite, fighting some of the toughest opponents that could be mustered. Over time, all he came to know was fighting and killing to earn his "owners" money.

One day, after finishing a fight, a cloaked figure was waiting for Pak-cha at the arena exit. "There is more to life than this," the figure said to Pak-cha.
"Excuse me?" Pak-cha replied. "You know only violence, pain, and suffering," the figure answered, "I will show you more to this world." At that, the cloaked figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Somewhat shaken, Pak-cha decided to push it from his mind. He returned to his "home" and awaited his next fight. That night, however, a slave uprising the likes of which he had never seen in his years under his "owners" began. He watched as the guards and owners killed many of the slaves that he had come to view as friends. Ruthlessly slaughtering his "family", the guards turned to Pak-cha and ordered him to assist in quelling the uprising. Rage bubbling within him, Pak-cha let loose, killing every single guard and owner.

Having killed the owners and freed the slaves, Pak-cha set forth into the world to find out his past and discover his purpose and identity.

Personality: Inquisitive about most things (especially magic), a little slow, impulsive

Other Facts:
Pak-cha has a somewhat skewed view of right and wrong. For example, he views slavery as all right, but killing those slaves arbitrarily to be wrong.

Pak-cha is unable to read or write, but is adamant to have someone read to him.

Pak-cha is an unusually good leaper

Pak-cha would be willing to do work for useful information rather than money

The Demon King Age : 21 Joined : 14 Nov 2007 Posts : 278

(Since I don't like the name I gave him, I've decided to make this into an alternate universe Nobunaga. A "What If?" so to speak.)

Name: Nobunaga Oda

Nickname: The Demon King

Age: 23

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Physical: Nobunaga is roughly 5'11" with a healthy body weight befitting his height. He has what is considered a "normal" skin tone and a muscular build. While not having the musclemass of a bodybuilder, he is still very strong. He has black hair that is almost shoulder length, though his hair is kept in a top-knot. His eyes are almost black and have a sharpness that makes it appear as though he can see right into your soul. He also sports a sexy goatee.

Clothing: Nobunaga wears a purple shirt and blackish purple pants when in a "safe" location that allows for him to relax. When travelling or preparing for combat, he puts on a chainmail shirt. Over that he wears blackened armor. He also wears blackened gauntlets and blackened greaves. Finally, he wears a fine, purple cape with his family crest. The most interesting thing is that his armor is resistant to magic.

Occupation: Mercenary . . . or is he?

Skills/Abilities: Nobunaga is extremely talented with his sword, able to cut down many foes with extreme ease. He is especially fond of targeting so called duelist, as they almost always used swords that are far too weak to stand up to his attacks. An odd thing he does is with the weapon deadlocks. Rather than stop an opponent's blade with his sword, he actually stops it with his hand.

Supernatural Abilities: Nobunaga wields what can essentially be described as dark energy. Given such a name as it has a blackish, purple coloration. Despite this name, it seems to be equally destructive against all it is used against. Dark beings. Beings of light. These matter not. Thus far this energy has been used as follows.

-An orb that Nobunaga can throw, which explodes with a lot of force after striking something.

-A barrier that can provide protection for a limited period of time.

-It can be ued to temporarily enhance his blade.

-An explosion of energy that knocks those who would surround them away.

-He can charge the energy into his fist and strike the ground, creating a blast of energy that knocks people into the air.

Another interesting thing is that he can levitate off the ground, though he has yet to acheive true flight.

Possessions: His armor, his clothing, and his double-edged sword. As well as some healing salves and potions. Maybe some food. Really whatever he needs at any given moment.

History:

Nobunaga was born in a small island nation. His family ruled over a portion of this nation, the province of Owari. While their land holdings were small, they had a powerful military. But their was a problem. A disagreement as to who would be the true heir to the Oda. The clan would be divided into two houses. One in support of Nobunaga and the other in support of his brother. In a quick and brutal campaign, Nobunaga defeated his brother and forcefully unified the Oda clan. From here he would go on to use innovative strategies and merciless tactics to eventually conquer the entire nation in a very short period of time. For th first time in many long years, his nation was unified under a single banner. With sweeping policies meant to stimulate the ecnomy, the nation began to prosper. But one day something happened. A ship of unknown origin had been devastated by a storm and it's crew washed ashore. By interogating it's survivors, Nobunaga learned of new lands. Lands that interested him. And so he commisioned a ship be built so that he may see these lands firsthand.

Gathering men he could only describe as elite and leaving control of the land in the hands of his most able and trusted retainers, Nobunaga set sail for this new land. This place called Callan. Though the trip was a harsh one, they would eventually land upon one of it's shores and establish a beach head. While the men were to guard the fort that was to be built, Nobunaga set off for this land's idea of civilization. He took on the role of a mercenary. Using this role he intends to personally see what he people of Callan are capable of. Whether he sees them as potential allies and trading partners or a new land to be conquered is up for grabs. What is certain is that the Demon King has arrived.

Personality:

Nobunaga tends to have an amused sense of detatchment. Almost as though nothing in life is worthwhile. Just a bunch of parlor games. As such you'll often see him laughing at things that would fill others with fear or dread. Towards comrades or allies he can be seen as a nice, if a little unorthodox. Towards enemies he is merciless and almost never capable of forgiveness. It wouldn't be unusual him or him to decide to destroy the entire family of one who has wronged him just so he can see the rage in their eyes when they come seeking revenge.

Interesting facts:

Nobunaga does not care about one's social standing. Even king's are subject to his harsh judgement. What matters is ability and if you have none you are worthless.

*sigh*

I really want to make a new RP, since The Worn Out Road is in a rut. Problem is, I can't use my characters because they're already involved in an RP and I can't screw with them right now...

So, uh, a serious question to you guys, can we up the number of characters to three? I don't want this to get out of hand, but without Magello it could be a while before TWOR gets back on track and I need my fix of roleplay.

Maybe we could limit threads to a certain ammount of characters per poster?

Opinions?

Name: Dorrick Bulletbeard

Age: 122

Race: Dwarf

Gender: M

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Physical: Dorrick is tall for a Dwarf, standing at 5'4''. He weighs well over 300 pounds, a combined weight of muscle and fat. His excessive drinking and eating balanced by his packmule lifestyle of carrying heavy explosives and gear. Despite his rather large beer gut, he is extremely powerful, more than capable of carrying the five hundred pounds of gear he carries for days on end without rest.

His face is covered by a brown beard which extends to his waist, braided into three sections, the two halves of a mustache and the beard itself. He slicks his short hair back with excess grease from his supplies.

Clothing: Dorrick wears a thick, gray wool shirt, both to keep him warm and to protect him from his explosives. However, he covers the shirt in iron chainmail. His pants are made of thick, stitched polar bear hide. The boots he wears are standard leather with iron plates on the shin, toe, and heel. His gloves are much like his boots, leather with iron plates on the top of his arms, back of his hand, and top of his fingers. His belt is covered in miscellaneous knick-knacks. His most prized possession is a leather duster he wears at all times, even when he sleeps.

Occupation: Mercenary, doing whatever he can for cash. He specializes in explosives and gunslinging.

Skills/abilities: He is a master of explosives, able to build, use, and disarm any bomb he comes across. He is also a master of guns, capable of firing his blunderbuss and hitting a target well over 300 yards away. He is also a capable smith and tracker. He dabbles in alchemy, although these abilities are limited to making explosive formulas.

Supernatural abilities: None, Dorrick is unable to use magic.

Possessions: He has a huge backpack half the size of himself that he wears constantly. The bag is full of various explosives (from small flash charges to city leveling bombs), weapons (axes, swords, and other assorted things, mostly ornate), equipment (all the tools to make alchemic formulas and the bombs themselves), and ammunition used for all situations. He has two ammo belts he wears around his chest which contain several kinds of ammunition, including:

Silver Bullets: Used against undead and werewolves.

Incendiary: Bullets coated in an alchemic substance that catches fire upon hitting a target.

Grape Shot: Buckshot rounds used for hitting multiple targets.

Smoke Shot: A defensive round which, upon hitting its target, bursts into a huge cloud of smoke.

Rubber Shot: A non-lethal round used to incapacitate enemies.

Rocksalt Rounds: Bullets used to unleash unbelievable pain in targets by creating and salting wounds.

History: Being that Dwarves were hidden away from most terrestial races for centuries, virtually no humans know anything about Dorrick. However, he has acted as a mercenary for the last forty years. His abilities as a smith and explosive engineer have become renowned amongst the Dwarves, something any new adventurers may have heard about in their travels.

Dorrick's professional life completely overshadows his personal life and as such, he has no friends or family, really. However, his connections run deep in the kingdom of Dwarves.

Personality: Dorrick is a hard drinker, almost constantly drunk. He is rather happy at all times, constantly laughing and carrying on. He is violent when angered, though. He is also a womanizer, always flirting with the pretty women he comes across. When discussing explosives, guns, or Dwarven history, he becomes quite serious, though, and shows the extensive knowledge he wields.

Despite his perversion, he has his honor, and he will not stand to see a woman suffer, not even an Elven woman.

Interesting facts:

Dorrick has never made a mistake with his explosives.

Dorrick wants to settle down with a good woman, but in his own words, "The Dwarven women ain't much ta look at."

For Thalros' "A Legend Forged."

Name: Ananta Eingana

Age: Unknown (Probably about 600 or so)

Race: Elf

Gender: F

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Physical: Ananta is around 6'8''. She weighs about 170 pounds and has a very slim figure. Although she has long grey hair, here face looks very young, making almost impossible to guess her age. Perhaps the only thing that gives away her centuries of experience are her extremely sharp, knowing blue eyes. She has pointy ears as well.

Her long hair is very straight, and in the back it is cut so it appears to meet in a downward slight triangle like this \/ but much less pronounced.

Clothing: Though she has a pack with two outfits, one of more traditional elven wear and the other hiking clothing, she is currently dressed like most humans. She wears a navy cloak with a fancy clasp over her actual outfit, with a hood covering her head. Her outfit underneath is a clean fitting, light blue dress. She also is wearing some hiking boots because of the terrain, which look ridiculous with the dress. She is also sporting an ornate silver-looking belt. She also wears small earrings on her ears.

Occupation: Explorer and information gatherer. She is working of the elven government to gain more information on the dwarves who have not opened their lands for many centuries. It is her job though to gather information as quietly as possible, appearing friendly and harmless to others. Her real mission might change depending on what she finds in the realm of the dwarves.

Skills/abilities: Extremely adapt at magic, she rarely uses barbaric tools like swords. Perhaps the only weapons she is adept at are the knife and the bow. Having had centuries to train, she can hit a fly on a tree that is 5000 meters away. However, she much prefers to use magic. She is at least as skilled as any archmage, if not more so. Because of the nature of her mission though she will not use magic or the bow unless absolutely necessary, because she does not want to call attention to herself.

Supernatural abilities: Adapt at magic, see above.

Possessions: On an ornate silver-looking belt, she has a leather pouch and a yellow flask. The pouch contains medicines and the flask contains a yellow liquid she drinks a small amount of once a day. In her backpack, she has two changes of clothes, a bow, and 30 silver tipped returning arrows. She keeps all of the items in the backpack by a magical enchantment so she does not carry the bow out in "broad daylight" so to speak.

History: Even though she is one of the older elves in her country, even Ananta cannot remember when last the dwarves opened their realm. The elves are very curious what has happened in that time frame and want to learn what the realm of the dwarves is like. A baby elf was abandoned at the castle over 600 years ago. The rulers of her land had others raise her in the royal court where she learned most of her abilities. However, discontent with court life, she left to explore the kingdom, but kept in contact with the rulers. Ananta often did scouting missions for them in the past. They appointed her for the job given her wealth experience. Because the elves and dwarves have a bit of a bad history, the rulers stressed that the information gather go over as quietly as possible to avoid any sort of conflict with the dwarves. Since Ananta is also very trust worthy, the rulers gave her a secret mission should certain events unfold. Knowing that elves have not often traveled into Callan or other realms, they tried to pick the elf that they felt could do the best job.

Ananta no known family to speak of and is not romantically involved with anyone. Such things are missed, but must be made less important to her than doing the bidding of the royal family and exploring.

Personality: Ananta's personality will change given a situation to make it most adventitious to her goal. Those that know her though would say she is an intelligent, if not always kind person. She is not haughty but very conscientious. If there is anything experience has taught her is that she can always learn something more. It would be difficult for a stranger to get to know the real Ananta because she has her guard up around most new people.

Interesting facts:

Ananta has a fascination with dwarves, although she hides it well among her peers. This is because knowing such a thing would make her a laughing stock among the elves.

Ananta has a very strange sense of time for an elf and hurries about as much as a human would. Other elves find this unusual, but put up with it because she is so adapt at everything else. She may be half human but is not sure.
