The Sanctuary of the Damned

IC

If i get at least 75% of players saying they want to do away with stats, then we will.

The Sanctuary has long been a place of safety and healing. Sentient beings come from all corners of the universe, sometimes willingly, sometimes unwillingly, to seek refuge in the hallowed halls of The Sanctuary. You are one of these beings that have somehow found your way to the Sanctuary.

Name: Gwyneria
Age: 578, appears to be around 30 in human years.
Gender: Female
Race/Species: Elven

Race Description: Not going full Tolkien high elves, but very long lived, 2000 years is the average, give or take a couple centuries. They are tall, lithe, and very dexterous. They favor fairer coloring and hair, but dark hair is not uncommon. Societal-wise, they are pretty advanced for gender and sexuality, but they are pretentious assholes when it comes to the other races. Since they are the longest-lived of their world, they believe themselves to be the most advanced in all forms, though whether or not that is true is up for debate. They are not complete isolationists, but their involvement with other countries tends to be covert.

Stats:
INT:2
CHA: 3
DEX:3
STR:2

Character Description: She’s tall and thin, with a rather plain face but striking green eyes. Her hair is a lovely red and silky smooth, should she ever deign to take it down from its practical bun. She is fair-skinned, with just the faintest hint of freckles across her nose. She wears supple leather armor, form-fitting but practical, covering her in a modest fashion. Her only weapons are a pair of wicked looking daggers (and a few extra of various sizes hidden all over, if you can find them). She carries a small pouch, attached to her belt, filled with unmarked vials.

Name: Celeste Asteria

Can charm weak minds. With concentration and a little bit of blood she can heighten her senses further although this can cause troubles.

Name: Tsukioka Kyuso
Age: 230 (human age) 23 (Tengu age)
Gender: Male
Race/Species: Tengu

Race Description: The tengu are a race of supernatural creatures that look like a cross between a human and a bird (characteristic long nose excluded for this RP... that would just be silly). They are protective spirits of the mountains and forests (mostly mountains) who defend them against things that would disturb the natural order (mostly things like cities attempting to expand into them, or armies traversing the territory). They have also protected temples in the past. Their natural abilities include flight, enhanced speed, and some magic usually relating to wind, nature or weather manipulation. Due to their bird physiology, they are very light, and their bones have hollow segments in them to further reduce weight. Because of this, however, they are more susceptible to physical trauma and wounds.

Stats:
INT(eligence): 3
CHA(risma): 2
DEX(terity): 3
STR(ength): 2

Name: Kulrath
Age: 130 species/roughly equivalent to 35 human years
Gender: Male
Race/Species: Ursaal
Race Description: The Ursaal are an ursine like race that values strength, honor and honesty in all things. They have little use for deception and are often very blunt in their dealings. Their primary strength is their physical strength and large forms that allow them to physically overpower most that would take aggressive action against them. They have naturally short tempers which ties in well with the physical nature of their existence. They have the ability to heal minor wounds quickly using their own rather limited magical ability and more dire wounds at a slower rate (usually used to stave off death long enough to escape or be rescued) by tapping into the strength of the ground upon which they stand (must direct contact with the earth, not concrete or asphalt etc.). The Ursaal are not known for their intelligence, but rather their staunch loyalty to their friends and allies and the ferocity that they show their enemies and any enemies of their allies.
Stats:
INT(eligence): 1
CHA(risma): 2
DEX(terity): 3
STR(ength): 4
Character Description: Kulrath sports alabaster white fur that accents the fierce blue of his eyes. When standing upright, he reaches just shy of eleven feet and when on all fours he reaches seven feet in height. Vicious, pink scars from a paw swipe mar his face and muzzle. As befitting his rank in the Ursaal military, Kulrath wears his red and black ceremonial (yet still brutally effective in war) todu-uken armor (think samurai armor) when out in public. Like all Ursaal, Kulrath uses no weapons other than the obsidian, razor-like claws extending from his paws.

Name: Tyrann Streiter the knight, Navi the fairy

Age: Tyrann: 23, Navi: unknown

Gender: Tyrann: male, Navi: female

Race/Species: Tyrann: he says he is human, Navi: fairy

Race Description: Tyrann never exhibited any abilities beyond the range of possibility for a human being, his weapon, a two-handed warhammer, and plate-armor, however, are capable of incinerating forces of pure evil, such as the undead and demons, however they lose that effect against any other opponent beyond that.

Navi, meanwhile, while she rarely speaks, established an empathetic mental bond with the knight, allowing the two to share thoughts and emotion, which allows the fairy to soothe the knight's physical as well as mental pain.

Stats: the stats are solely those of Tyrann, as Navi, as said earlier, will not participate in any of his direct actions.
INT(eligence): 3
CHA(risma):1
DEX(terity):2
STR(ength):5

Character Description: Tyrann, while saying that he is a human being, stands at quite the for his species uncharacteristical height of seven and a half feet, which, combined with his utter refusal to remove even a single plate of his armored suit, makes him appear anything but a normal human being. Which is then combined with the fact that, if one stands close to him, the perpetual stench of charred flesh becomes rather apparent.

Despite this, Navi, who is around the size of a small human four year-old, always stays near him and one will never encounter one of the two without the other.

[PsychoMantis]

Oh god not stats...why do they matter? I mean really?

[Echoes of Old]

Trust me, it's VERY simple. They wouldn't be there if they didnt work

[PsychoMantis]

No I really want you to explain, not out of meanness or wanting to pick a fight but I really see no place for them in a roleplay.

[Echoes of Old]

It's for skill checks. The stats specify how many ability dice you can roll, and your level in the skill determines the number of proficiency dice. Are you familiar enough with system RPGs to tie up the loose ends yourself, or do I need to explain the rest of it?

[PsychoMantis]

Wait,wait,wait, Dice? You never said anything about Dice. If I wanted to play with Dice I would play D&D dude, Im out.

[Echoes of Old]

Too bad, so sad.

[RavenOperative]

how long do you want our character sheets to be?

[Echoes of Old]

How long are they? Quality over Quantity, sir. (Or ma'am. whichever. :P)

[RavenOperative]

I'll just wait till someone else posts and match that. I'm horrible with summaries, and by extension, have little idea what an acceptable length would be.
