Basic

Full Name: Malakaus Ralthavar Marcrosias "Metal Wolf"

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Race: Half-Orc

Appearance

Physical Description:


Clothing: Generally wears whatever is most practical for the given occasion. Thick layers of fur for cold weather, light and breathable cotton for hot weather, pants in public situations. Some common pieces of clothes he tries to incorporate into his attires is a little scruffy red cape (Barely goes down his back) and a tribal necklace, the only things left from his birth family, and a skull-mask that was a gift from his time in the wilderness.

Armour: Wears a heavy set of iron armor with matching boots, gauntlets, and helmet. To further increase his already high natural durability in addition to his armor, he also has a spiked shield. Good for blocking and bashing.

Other: Often carries a backpack, belts, and bandoliers with various things he feels he may need, such as his waterskins, flasks of oil, etc.

Background

Faction: Volunteer

"So apparently, this guy, Malakaus, was raised by wolves, or so he says. Certainly seems civil enough, even if this guy has some strange habits and smells god-awful. He came from some mountainous region that he doesn't recall but there was lots of giant monsters and other bed-time horror story monsters. He wasn't sure what became of his family aside from that he was just a babe wrapped in a red blanket when he was found by wolves for one reason or another. He was raised by them, got into their mentality and life style before a witch picked him up. She taught him how to read and do magic tricks, but soon he started tapping into his innate power: Crafting. He crafted things from bones, wood, stone, and just about anything he could get his hands on. The Witch taught him enchanting to help improve his craft, but he wanted to know more, like how to work metal. So when he was about ten years old or so he tried to go to a city and get an education, but he got ran out cause he's an orc. So he's been living with the witch out in the wilderness for a while, learning how to work just about anything together on his own. Now what's a guy like him doing here, all he says was that the witch told him that they both needed to leave the forest for a while and she pointed him towards The Cutlass. The guy's a weirdo but he does his job and doesn't seem to go out of his way to bother anyone. Gods know what he does on his own though."

Moral Alignment

Selflessness: 3 - Self-Preservation is pretty high on Malakaus to-do list. While he's willing to lend a hand for friends and family, he won't give his help if he is somehow inconvenienced by it.

Snobbery: 5 - Malakaus gets rather tired of the whole "Uncleaned Savage" stereotype everyone keeps thinking he perpetuates. He does indeed have a naturally strong odor which he tries to alleviate by washing when possible, and his pragmatic views tend to make him neglect cleanliness in the short-run if there is more important things to do at the moment. To him, if you can do something about your station, you ought to do so.

Racist Tendencies: While Malakaus doesn't particularly dislike any race, though he does have jabs for just about everyone when he can think of one. He has a particular love/hate relationship with elves, a sort of one-sided rivalry with humans, and admiration for dwarves. Halfbreeds such as himself piques his curiosity, though he otherwise treats them the same as their more fantastical half.

Piety: 3 - When Malakaus lived with the witch, she taught him of things like animal gods, nature deities, and other vaguely shamam/pagan religious views. She also taught him that if he knew what he was doing he could kill them for their power. If there is a god or gods, than all that meant was that there was someone somewhere with a lot of power, power which could be his one day.

Justice: 1 - Malakaus can be... Retributive. If he calls for anyone to help him, it's not to do justice for him, it's to assist him to getting vengeance on his foe. He dislikes thieves and other wrong-doers, and often seeks to solve his own problems himself. And if you come to him to solve a problem, expect him to handle it in a matter which best suits him as well. And to him, all slights against him can be dealt with by death and violence. Perhaps not all the time depending on various factors. Violence isn't the answer; it's a question and Malakaus would often chose yes.

Sexist Tendencies: 10 - Malakaus is not even aware of any form of discrimination based on sex. He figures if you don't like a person, it's because you don't like that person for something they did, not because they happened to be male or female. That being said, he often feels the need to "Compare" himself to other males and is rather nervous around females. His adopted family never gave him "The Talk" and so whenever he happens to be aroused by a woman, he get's scared of these unknown feelings and would flee whenever possible.

Combat

Main Skills: Malakaus is a savage and brutal fighter, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's doing. His attacks could often be decried as simple or basic, but he wastes no energy or time with complicated or technical moves: only what is most efficient and consistent. To that end, just about anything in his hands will become a deadly weapon, regardless if they're naught but a mere stick or a masterwork sword. Sure he may not know how to flourish or preform a secret martial arts technique, but if he knows how it's suppose to kill something, you can be certain that he will make sure the weapon does just that. In terms of weapon proficiency, in order from most skilled to mostly competent: Shields, Spears, and Axes. If he can strap even just a little buckler onto his arm, you can be certain that Malakaus is well armed. With a shield he can parry and deflect just about any direct attack blow and throw it back at his enemy before they even begin their next assault. The spear is a simple weapon that Malakaus has gotten much use out of back during his days at the forest, and her prefers short spears that can be used efficiently in a melee and also thrown a good thirty to forty feet. Axes are his next favorite, likely some innate ability found in all orcs. He uses a medium sized war axes if he can get his hands on one: small enough that you don't need two hands to use it but big enough that you can.

That being said, that's merely his offensive. Where Malakaus truly shines in battle is his defensive ability: He has a natural toughness compounded by armor, but you would be a naive fool to believe that this slows him down. Instead of using his strength to do more damage, he uses his strength to move his body, allowing him to dance across the battlefield with startling speed and grace. While he still shows his ever simple and crude style of fighting, the fact that he can keep up with the most agile of fighters while being as durable as a castle bulwark makes him a enemy to be feared: not because of his ability to kill, but for his inability to die.

Secondary Skills: Should for some reason Malakaus be without a shield, spear, or axe, he can make due with a dagger, a rifle, or his own grappling ability. While his dagger is more of a utility tool than an outright weapon, he knows how to skin and butcher man and beast alike. He's also picked up the use of firearms, though he dislikes pistols and prefers rifles. While not the best shot, more often than not he can hit a target in the heat of battle if he has a clean line of sight and no one is trying to kill him at the moment. And should he not even have those he can always rely on his strength to grapple his enemy, and he's quite the avid wrestler. His strength allows him to easily snap a grown orc's neck by accident, and less hardy races fare no better.

Primary Weapon: Spear or Axe often with his shield. His spear has two prongs on the base of the spear blade to catch his opponent's weapons and prevents their bodies from getting stuck on the tip of his spear. His axe not only has an edged blade but also a pointed spike on the back, allowing him to pierce heavier armors should he come across them.

Secondary Weapon: If he doesn't have his axe as his secondary, he is either has his dagger sheathed on his hip or a rifle on his back. The dagger is karambit-like in design and made from the horn of a wyvern that nested in the forest that Malakaus once lived in. It is doubled-edged. His rifle is unique in that it is an experimental weapon that Malakaus often changes or customizes. Right now it's a double-barrel blunderbuss, but he plans to improve it somehow, starting with the bullets.

Hidden/Stored Weapons: Malakaus wears a length of chain that seems to be used as a belt, but in truth it's an emergency weapon which he can use to garote his opponent or wrap around his arm to make into an improvised cestus.

Passive/Suppport

Main Skills: Malakaus earns his keep on The Cutlass as the ships go-to craftsman. And not just any one craft: He can mold bones, cut stone, carve wood, and work metal into all sorts of things. Weapons, furniture, accessories, just provide him time and materials and he can make something for you. He also experiments and looks to improve the design of things around him, his current interest being firearms. He has a closely guarded blueprint he doesn't want anyone to know about until it is perfected. Additionally, while his magic skills are pitiful, he is a highly skilled enchanter and can often work runes and magical effects on anything he gets his hands on.

Secondary Skills: Malakaus has some skills handling animals, cooking, and dealing with various plants and poisons. He's more of a survivalist than a naturalist however: He can tell you which ones are poisonous and edible, but he won't know which one will cure you of your cold. He's a decent tracker as well, but only in forests and mountains.

Items of Note: Malakaus carries all the tools he needs for his craft skills as well as various journals and books he can read and write in. Most of his books pertain to things like his craft skills, but he also has some books on animals and plants. His journals are used to keep thoughts he may later forget, ideas and blueprints, and general notes on his life or on others.

Anti-Godmod 3000

Achlies’ Heel: Malakaus is insecure and doesn't handle situations where he's useless well. He MUST be able to do something, and for better or worse, he will. When a problem arrives you can expect that Malakaus will give it his all to do whatever it is he needs to do, even if there is nothing for him to do. This makes him rather easy to manipulate, should you need someone to do some grunt or dirty work, if you you just need to figure out a way to get rid of Malakaus without dirtying your own hands.

Basics

Full Name: Andari Ambermane

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Race: Werewolf

Appearance

Physical Description:

This is merely his Armored Wolf Form (Also the form you're likely see him in). This is his human form.

And his Armored Werewolf Form


Clothing: Generally doesn't wear clothing due to being a wolf most of the time, but in human form he wears some light and breathable clothing good for day-to-day wear. Very sturdy and dirt resistant, keeps Andari cool in the scorching desert and warm in temperate climates.

Armour: In his wolf form Andari wears a saddle that protects a good part of his back and side as well as a jagged helmet, good for protecting his head and providing some extra weapons. IN his human form Andari has some leather armguards, but that's about it. As a werewolf, Andari's form becomes adorn with magic demon plates which are harder than steel and can regenerate it's damage.

Other: Andari is capable of holding a hefty amount of luggage limited only by the size of said luggage. He wears his armor in wolf form nearly all the time except sleeping (And even than he will wear it if he expects trouble).

Background

Faction:

"So here's a weird one. This gigantic wolf is apparently the "Friend" of that orc Malakaus. Not a pet mind you, at least that's what he keeps telling us. He's not more a pet than the orc is to us, so he says. Anyways at first everyone is freaked out by the big creature but he's harmless for the most part. Never caused any trouble, always stays out of the way, hell even for a wolf he doesn't eat much. And he talks too! Granted he doesn't seem talkative, but he speaks to that orc a lot. Even though he hasn't caused any trouble so far, we know how strong that thing is. We saw it haul a broken mast out of the ocean all on it's own, even wearing that armor on it. It rips through metal and wood like they were raw meat. Scary."

Moral Alignment

Selflessness: 8 - Andari knows the benefits of doing things on behalf of others, "For the pack", and does his best to make sure everyone else contributes. He will accept rewards without question if given, but will also give if he knows he doesn't need it.

Snobbery: 10 - Andari has no reason to mistreat anyone if they haven't mistreated him. He doesn't mind squalor or pompous; if you are kind to him he is kind in turn.

Racist Tendencies: Doesn't really have much thoughts on other races. He may show ignorance, but that's simply because he literally knows nothing about some races and has to make his own assumption. Will attempt to learn more as more races reveal themselves.

Piety: 1 - If there were gods, than Andari would think he was one. He may never know what "Created" this world, and to him it doesn't matter. He lives in it and he can affect it. For all he cares, this is his world, and he won't let anyone else have it.

Justice: 1 - Like Malakaus, Andari takes justice into his own maw. If you slight him, he will slay you, and you'd best hope he gives you a quick death instead of eating you alive. He doesn't take kindly to other escaping justice either, and he will go out of his way to right wrongs when he sees them.

Sexist Tendencies: 8 - He's a flirt and he'll sometimes let that get the better of him when he's trying to impress women, but otherwise he at least understands that men and women can be whatever they want to be if they're able to get it.

Combat

Main Skills: There are three wars Andari fights depending on his form.

Wolf Form - As a wolf Andari is fast and strong. He often starts his battles pouncing on his enemy with his full body weight, often able to knock down even creatures three times his size. He'd than maul them with his claws until they're too weak to fight back, finishing them off with a powerful bite that could rip off heads. The bite is very short range and leaves his head exposed to enemies, so he tries not to use it unless the opportunity presents itself. As a wolf Andari doesn't have much ways of fighting in crowds, and he does much better against single targets.

Human Form - As a human Andari is quite the martial artist and would dodge and dance around his opponent, striking them where they are weakest to incapacitate them. He can also create sharp claws even while in human form, but only a few times a day.

Werewolf Form - Perhaps Andari's strongest form, as a werewolf Andari is heavily armored, fast, and could throw bears a fair distance with a swipe of his hand. He relies on his brute strength and immense speed to take out his opponents during it's duration. Andari can only use his Werewolf form at night, and if it's not a full moon, only for about ten minutes. If it is a full moon Andari can stay as a werewolf for the entire night, but he stays in that form for the entire night as well.

Secondary Skills:

Wolf Form - In wolf form Andari can use a sword that's on his hip to give himself slashing attacks, however he loses his powerful bite. He usually goes for his sword if he expects to fight multiple opponents as he has much larger variety of techniques he can use against multiple opponents, though it is inefficient in one-on-one duels.

Human Form - Andari can use small weapons like daggers and sticks, but larger weapons tend to be unwieldy to him despite his considerable size. He's pretty good at throwing weapons and objects offensively, and has a neat trick where he can even throw arrows with his bare hands.

Werewolf Form - While not exactly a secondary weapon, on a full moon Andari can use werewolf magic to instil fear into his enemies, slowdown time as his body speeds up, detect the living and dead, and even summon spectral werewolves to fight alongside him.

Primary Weapon: The only weapon Andari needs is his claws and mouth, and he has a pretty devastating tackle too.

Secondary Weapon: Andari has a sword he can rely on as a wolf, and in his human form he has daggers tucked into his armguards he can use to throw or as melee weapons.

Hidden/Stored Weapons: In his human form Andari has daggers hidden in his armguards.

Passive/Suppport

Main Skills: Andari's senses are supernatural no matter what form he takes. There's little that can escape him; he can match everyone to a unique scent and even detect things such as magic, the presence of ghost, and even things like what sort of disease is in the area or that someone has. He also can change his vision to suit whatever purpose he needs, from seeing in the dark, seeing ghosts, detecting heat, or whatever other means of seeing there is.

Secondary Skills: Andari is capable of speaking to animals and plants in a unique language known by his pack, allowing him to ask them questions or just to chat. Andari himself is said to be rather charismatic and a smooth talker.

Items of Note: Andari doesn't really have any possessions of notable value aside from whatever is given to him. Even his armor and sword were given to him for him to use, and he won't exactly shed a tear if he lost them (But he won't take kingly to someone stealing them).

Anti-Godmod 3000

Achlies’ Heel: Like many werewolves of old, Andari has a weakness of silver. Simply making contact with silver won't harm him (Though he can sense the presence of silver and it does many him very uncomfortable) however wounds made by silver weapons will never heal naturally. He'll need special magical healing to recover from injuries from silver weapons, which involves a magic ritual using human hearts. He can consume human hearts to heal a little from silver weapons, but just one won't be enough if the injury is sever.

Full Name:
Vyce “Sword Saint” Pavel

True Age:
Over a couple hundred years old. Has lost count over the years

Age Appearance:
27

Gender:
Male

Race:
Lightning Esper - Beings that are physical manifestations of the elements. None truly know of their origins but, they a regarded as scars of nature. Only one manifestation of each element can exist at a time or the balance of nature is disrupted.

Appearance

Physical Description:
True Beauty

Esper Form

Other:
Esper birthmark upon his back

Background

Faction:
Sailor/First Mate

What do the others on the expedition know of your character after six months of being cooped up on a boat?

What is known currently about Vyce is that he is an Esper that has mastered swordsmanship, is the First Mate, mastered Lightning Magic, married to Aria, defeated previous Sword Saint to earn his nickname, and hates elves.

Moral Alignment

Selflessness:
Vyce is complicated in that he will risk his life for others at anytime but only if there is something for him at the end of the road. He believes that he doesn’t need a reason to help someone but it would be nice if they compensated him.

Snobbery:
After the many , many years that Vyce has lived, he truthfully understands what it means to be a peasant and the life at the top of the world. He does not discount anyone due to their wealth or lack of but instead how they act. In that regard, naivety makes him want to slice your throat.

Racist Tendencies:
If any race truly pierces his tolerance then it is the elves and their snobbish nature. He cannot stand how they treat other races as beneath them, harboring a holier then thou attitude, equating even his own race as horrific scars of nature. Plus their unqiue beauty is irritating upon his eyes. He’d rather kill one then stand beside them.

Piety:
The fuck is a God and how do I steal it’s valuables?

Justice:
Wronging Vyce brings about a vengeance that the Esper will almost never let go, depending on the wrong doing. You steal his gold, he steals your entire fortune. You betray him, he slits your throat. You harm his wife, he’ll make sure you live in torture until you die..slowly. Violence is his favorite option.

Sexist Tendencies:
Vyce doesn’t care whatsoever. At times he can act as though women can’t do what men can do and they are bad luck at sea but most of the time he treats women just like he does men. This also means he’ll stab them in their throat just the same.

Combat

Main Skills:
Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Vyce has trained in the arts of the sword from a very young age and is considered to be an exceedingly skilled swordsman. The greatest strength of his swordsmanship is his ability to adapt to varying situations and he has trained himself to become ambidextrous so as to make himself more versatile. His fighting style consists of graceful and quick movements and he prefers finishing his fights quickly rather than dragging them on. Not one to make use of pure brute, he tries to deal accurate blows and perform quick maneuvers. He is also a master of battōjutsu, the art where drawing of the blade is the same motion used for the attack.

Lightning Magic: Vyce is manifestation of the element of lightning, which he has mastered to such a degree, that it has become a defining attribute by which people identify him by. Being his signature magical element, he has shown great mastery and possesses incredible control over it, being able to summon lightning from almost any source, be it from his own body or from nature itself, making no difference what so ever. He has demonstrated the ability to control the direction and behavior of lightning, as well as being able to set a predetermined course for his lightning techniques to attack, and even redirect energy based attacks from his opponents. Erik is able to manipulate lightning into various shapes and size, as well as into various forms and constructs, these include shooting arcs of lightning from his hands, shaping it into the form of a thunder bolt, a condensed ball of electrical energy, or even electric sparks that can latch onto an opponent’s body. Throughout the years Vyce has spent a great deal of time developing his ability to manipulate lightning, and as a result has created several lightning based techniques. Because he has mastered the principles of lightning manipulation, he is able to invoke a spell without much difficulty.

Secondary Skills:
When relinquished of his many blades and magical reserves near empty, Vyce relies upon his adept skill in hand to hand. Years have passed since the moment he’s had to outright kick a man, keeping his swords at the ready for the many occasion. Just that if he needs to then Vyce is prepared for a hand to hand battle (that he’d probably lose).

Primary Weapon:
Zabuza: Six identical blades. All Zabuza swords were forged out of Magic Metal, a unique material that possesses unique qualities. To forge one, an assortment of hard and soft pieces was selected, and form these the spine of the weapon was forged. The softer steel, to make the weapon flexible and able to absorb kinetic shock and what would become the blade (from the harder steel, for obvious reasons of sharpness and durability). All of the pieces were folded and hammered back out several times, making the steel of the sword layered, giving it superior physical properties. In addition, the blade steel was twisted together from two layered rods. Then, the blade and the spine were forged together while hot and meticulously crafted into the desired shape. The entire process would normally take days to weeks. The smiths only worked by night to be able to judge the current state of the heated metal by its color. At this stage the weapon was black, rough and unadorned. The smiths would continue etching more decorative designs into the blade, filing, scraping and polishing it, and finally fashioning a grip, a scabbard. When used, the blade of the sword give off an iridescent sheen, like that of a butterfly's wings.

Secondary Weapon:
His magic is considerably his back up but, as stated before he can use his body as a weapon.

Hidden/Stored Weapons:
Vyce keeps a tanto hidden just in case nothing else is working.

Passive/Suppport

Main Skills:
So much time has been dedicated to thievery, navigation/tracking, and acrobatics that Vyce could not bare to live without such things. A pirate’s life calls for certain skills. To add, Vyce's body is largely different from a normal man, lacking certain vital organs as his body runs off magic allowing him to heal injuries at an accelerated rate.

Secondary Skills:
Cooking provides an adequate amount of help when the crew lacks a cook and he can even sew up the crew’s torn clothes when needed.

Items of Note:
A compass, map, and a silver coin that he describes as his lucky charm.

Anti-Godmod 3000

Achlies’ Heel:
So many years have bloated Vyce’s head into sheer overconfidence in his abilities that often lead to complications and problems. These complications have been known to run out his subpar magical stamina. Lastly all rational thought and cohesive plans go out the window if his wife is in danger. Her safety is greater then any other objective.

Character Sheet

Basics

Full Name:
Arianthe "Aria" Mariana

Age:
25

Gender:
Female

Race:
Sirenia
A race that is considered a lower subclass of Siren, despite technically being a mixture of Siren and Mermaid. The Sirenia are known for their rather hypnotic voices and astounding beauty, often using both to lure in men (and women) into the sea. Stories say that they are able to look into the hearts of people and can steal their souls if they are deemed unworthy. The truth is that they don't steal them, they eat them. Which is possibly worse. The surefire way to anger one is to try to steal their precious necklaces. Besides that they are mostly a rather neutral race, isolationists, though should they encounter those who are not like them they take a great interest and curiosity. It is not uncommon for a Sirenia to depart from their homes, though it is rare that they choose to live among the other races rather than return.

Many people call her a Siren. She doesn't really mind, seeing how she technically fits the bill anyway.

Appearance

Physical Description:
Aria has the appearance of a typical Sirenia, looking entirely human...just more mysterious so to speak. She has pale, smooth looking skin and an air of elegance. Long limbs and a highly alluring body type, she possesses eyes that are a shade of very dark gray, hair colored platinum blonde that is as long as she is tall. Her movements are often airy and graceful.

Clothing:


Armour:
N/A

Other: (Anything you feel is not covered by the above)

Background

Faction:
Sailor

What do the others on the expedition know of your character after six months of being cooped up on a boat?

She is happily married to Vyce Pavel. And don't touch her necklace under any circumstances.

Moral Alignment

Selflessness:
(4) Aria doesn't really care much for other people in general. Still, if she likes a person and sees they're in trouble, she'll at least try to help. As for people she dislikes and strangers, she has to consider it first.

Snobbery:
(5) She does think herself above most people, though she won't actually put anyone down.

Racist Tendencies:
She simply feels indifferent to race in general.

Piety:
(2) She certainly believes in them. That doesn't mean she has to worship one.

Justice:
(1) Why in the world would she wait for others to solve her problems? Especially when her methods are so much more efficient. She isn't going to bother asking for help when she can clearly handle it on her own.

Sexist Tendencies:
(10) She does believe in equality, though admittedly it is because she feels indifferent when it comes down to it.

Combat

Main Skills:
Water Manipulation
The main difference between Sirens and Sirenia are the Sirenia's ability to manipulate water freely. Her powers are vastly stronger when she is able to draw water from other places, though she knows her manipulation is strongest when she is able to control the water from the sea. Each Sirenia possesses a tattoo that they use to summon water from, though its sources are finite and need to be replenished when used. She can draw water from the air if the weather permits (meaning before or after it rains).

Secondary Skills:
Conversion
The ability to convert water into ice and vice versa. This is where her weaponry tends to come from. She has been known to create a mist for cover, though it still needs perfecting.

Voice of Siren
As all the tales say, Sirenia are capable of using their songs to sway men of the sea to do their bidding. Her songs are versatile enough to do more than that. Most of the time they have passive effects, such as raising morale, strengthening allies, and heightening magical powers. There's a rumor that she can hypnotize people, but no one has actually seen it yet.

As for stealing souls, she's been warned not to do so. Not that she won't threaten someone with it if need be.

Primary Weapon:
A blade of water and ice is what she uses for battle. She uses this and her conversion ability to shift between states in battle, sometimes even using it as a whip of sorts.

Secondary Weapon:
She relies mostly on her magic as backup.

Hidden/Stored Weapons:
Her hair clips both have very small daggers at their ends.

Passive/Support

Main Skills:
Her songs have healing capabilities, though she prefers the hunter's life. Her devil-may-care tendencies make her one of the first to volunteer for the more dangerous tasks. She is also a capable blacksmith (ironically).

Secondary Skills:
Sewing, threading, and knitting--and whatever other skills have to do with clothing. She makes most of her own clothing and is often the one people go to when they feel the need to fix something. She also has the uncanny ability to know when people are looking at or thinking about her necklace.

Items of Note:
She wears a necklace with a jewel that is not found anywhere. It value is immense and trying to steal it warrants death.

Anti-Godmod 3000

Achlies’ Heel:
Aria (and by extension Sirenia in general) is weak to fire. Her necklace is also valuable to her physical form, as without it she loses her voice. All rationality and orders will be ignored if her beloved's life is in danger. She will always prioritize his life over anyone else's.
