Back story and Personalty are optional, depends how much you want to flesh out your PC's. I have also been in Rp's long enough to know that characters in Rp's rarely follow their personalities given during make.


The Quick one is just shorter and only ask for the bare essentials. This latter one is perfect for Tier 1 troops.

Identity

Assumed name: Dorm Hal

Race: Orc, greenskin.

Style of Combat: Ranged, short sword and shield at melee.

Apparent Age: 22

Profession: Mercenary, Black Ravens

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Marital Status: Single

Sexuality: Straight

Deity: None

Height: Six foot two inches

Weight: 99kg

Hair: Shaved, black.

Eye: Brown
Image:

Family: Father, deceased, Mother missing. One army brother, another is a merchant.

Possessions: Flask of rum mixed with a herb his mother taught him from a young age was good for healing. It also acts as a fairly effective pain killer. He carries a bag with basic travelling supplies and kit to repair his crossbow and other equipment. He also has a quiver for his crossbow bolts, which contains about 10-20 of the projectiles. (One is poisoned)

Weapons: Dorm carries a hand drawn crossbow, moderately heavy with a durable design, the bow is recurved, and the weapon is accurate up to 100 feet and can pierce a chainmail vest with ease at anything up to twenty feet. Its max range is roughly 250 feet.
He also carries a simple steel shortsword about two feet in length, and a small iron dagger.

Armor: Dorm wears a simple iron chest plate with leather pauldrons. Durable leather gloves, trousers and boots cover the majority of the rest of his body, with a leather cap atop his head. He also wears an iron kite shield about four feet in height and two feet in width on his back.

Personalty: Reserved and cautious, but also immensely practical to the degree of being considered cold by his allies. Though he may on the one hand aid you with some unexpected medical knowledge, he may just as easily decide you’re holding the group up and put a bolt in your skull.

Stats:
Strength, high.

Speed, low.

Defense, mid.

Proficiencies:
>> Archery: Excellent
>> Daggers: Sufficient
>> Maces: Poor
>> Polearms: Poor
>> Staves: Poor
>> Swords: Sufficient
>> Unarmed: Learned
>> Projectiles: Sufficient
>> Whips: Poor
>> Shields: Sufficient
>> Hammers: Poor
>> Axes: Learning
>> Poisons: Learning

Backstory: Dorm is less powerfully built, for an Orc, than most. He was born the runt of the litter and although easily dwarfing the average human in size and strength he never felt confident enough to be the true beserker his people expect. His father died when he was young, and he learned much from his mother. She wanted her sons to escape the Orc conception that war was all they existed for, and knowledge was pointless. He listened to her through all of his young life, and worked to become a hunter with his natural affinity for the crossbow. Then she disappeared, and he quickly reverted on much of what he had been taught.

He joined the Black Ravens mercenary group at age 18, picked up melee skills with the sword and shield, but is still most valued for his marksmanship. He joins the group with a keen eye and has a knack for eliminating an opposing group’s leadership with a well-placed bolt before reloading quickly (roughly ten-fifteen seconds) and taking down two enemies early on. However, when closed on he’s pretty handy with a sword and shield, as he’s well built from readying the crossbow to fire.

[GrievousKhan]

Prefect as always.

Accepted.

>> Poisons: (--)
>> Allomancy: Mastered
>>>>>>> Backstory: Scouti mi’Leeta al-Sparks was born in the desert sands of Gybahdin, by a mother and father that were members of Minister of Canton. As a child of those devoted to the ancient secret of Allomantic Metallurgy, neither could keep the child, thus she was given up to the Ministry of Steel for training to become a guardian of the Canton. The training was vigorous and on a few occasions she came near to death. It was on her second near death experience, that she snapped gaining her Allomantic abilities.

As the Ministry became aware of her skills, she was quickly given special instructions to become a candidate for the Redwolds (sold to them for a hefty sum). She accelerated quickly in daggers and close hand to hand combat, however lacked the ability to fire a bow in a straight line what so ever. Her Allomancy allowed her burst of speed and strength and she quickly found that she favored a large bulwark shield that allowed her to cover her body almost fully.

Her abilities and overly infectious optimism lead her into a leadership role into Redwolds. Her slightly underhanded tactics kept her from ascending too high in the ranks. She fell into the role of Captain, succeeding in a few major operations.

>> Profession: Sellsword
>> Alignment: Money
>> Marital Status: Single

Image:

Family: Unknown. Presumed dead.

>>>>>>> Possessions:

Weapons: (Bear in mind these are custom classifications. I doubt we are playing exactly to medieval semantics.)
1x Steel longsword. (75cm blade 0.7kg. Main hand)
1x Steel shortsword (45cm blade 0.4kg. Offhand)
2x Tempered Steel Daggers (15cm blade. 0.2kg. Backup.)
1x Mundane Shortbow (Standard Weight and length)
10x Arrows

Armor: Mostly leathers and furs. Wears minimal, light armour to protect his core. He prefers this so he can stay agile during a fight, and so he is not slowed or otherwise encumbered by excessive armour.

>>>Stats:
Str: Mid
Speed: High
Def: Low

>>>>>>> Personalty: Often has witty remarks to most statements he hears, even at inappropriate times. He is fiercely independent and does not like being informed he is under somebody's command; only carrying out orders reluctantly unless his employer is paying extremely well.

Combat Skills:

Proficiencies:
>> Archery: Sufficient
>> Daggers: Perfected
>> Maces: Poor
>> Polearms: Poor
>> Staves: Poor
>> Swords: Perfected
>> Unarmed: Excellent
>> Projectiles: Sufficient
>> Whips: Extremely poor
>> Shields: Sufficient
>> Hammers: Poor
>> Axes: Sufficient
>> Poisons: Poor

>>>>>>> Fighting Style: Prefers to keep his equipment weight down so he can be fast. He avoids combating his foes head on, as is the norm for combat - he tries, instead, to use his agility to get behind them so he can deliver deadly single strikes to vital points. His agility is his shield and his sword. He is quick to block with a sword and is proficient in some unusual fighting stances that are incredibly fluid in nature, allowing for a very organic and flowing style of combat rather than simple lumbering swings of a sword.
He definitely does not fight with honour.
Essentially this.


>>>>>>> Backstory: The son of a failing merchant and a local whore, not only was Krathos a bastard, he was socially destined to amount to nothing in his life, despite dreams of becoming a knight. It was not until his early teenage years that he tried out for tournaments that could pave a way for him into knighthood, but was immediately disqualified for being a bastard with no heraldry, despite his skill with a blade. At age sixteen, Krathos left the ailing home that his father provided and went into the world to act as a sellsword instead of a knight, often taking up the false title of one in order to remind him why he fights.

[GrievousKhan]

Fandor Thule accepted. Though it would be good to know what material the armor is made of, iron, steel?

I'll wait for you to finish Sikako, but looks good so far.

Good work Silux, interesting character, I would normally ask for length and weight of weapons, but i'll just assume it's average for their weapon types. Accepted

[Silux]

I don't actually know quite how long or heavy they would be. Let me do some research and i'll add some more detail in.

Backstory:
Lars is the son of Grim, hence Grims’son or Grimsson. Born in the northern reaches of human lands he grew up in a strict household. His father is a minor lord and raised his sons, all seven of them, to be warriors. Lars is the youngest of the boys and has always been overshadowed by his brothers and father in terms of their exploits and heroics.

Having gained his knighthood as a member of minor nobility Lars decided that he had to leave the small lands and explore the wider world. In this he hopes to gain the honor and fame that has eluded him and made him the outcast among his family.

Lars has been traveling the last seven years exploring and learning the ways of the world, yet that one fleeting piece of honor and glory continue to elude his grasp. He has served in many armies in many lands. His name is recognized among many mercenary companies as a skilled warrior and he takes his knightly oath of largess and compassion for the weak as well as his unyielding faith in his Gods so seriously that he has made a name for himself, sadly though he can’t see this.

Notes:
His prayer before battle- "Hearken we beseech Thee, O Lord, to our prayers, and deign to bless with the right hand of Thy Majesty this sword with which Thy servant desires to be girded, that it may be a defense of churches, widows, orphans and all Thy servants against the scourge of pagans, that it may be the terror and dread of all evil-doers, and that it may be just in both attack and defense."
