Oh, and just to add this... I'll be working second shift with a possibility of working 10 to 13 hours a night at times.

Finally! Its done.

Looks good. Spoiler: The manor is only NEAR a town, but they don't know that yet XD

So I wrote a post yesterday...
The site decided to fuck up...
And now... I must redo it...
So I should have up on by later... Hopefully...

Take your time. There be no rush.

Most interesting.

I feel this iteration requires a certain something to be made whole. It needs to be just a touch more, shall we say, Sinful.

I sense a roach in our midst.

Roach? I know naught of this "roach" of whom you speak.

KO, you're the only person I know that would use Socrates, even if only partly, in their name.

Blast it.

You, sir, failed at ninja XD

Is that a roach I see? It is a roach!

*hint, I go caw caw, Knarled*

Hey, Zarkun, I would have been done by now but with the site acting up earlier, other things happening (plus perhaps a little stress...) I wasn't able to work on the character much. Well... plus today is my first day working of course. Planet Employment has me!!

All good. Send us an SOS signal when you're ready to escape, we'll send in the retrieval shuttle.

I'll have to bide my time until two months have passed. I'll send an SOS once things get dicey enough or until I'm able to send the signal.

Name: Anaris Halford
Age: 34
Appearance: Despite his age, Anaris already has graying hair. At a height of five foot nine, he has a toned and fairly muscular build. He was born with scarlet eyes and his skin color is becoming more pale by the month.
Personality: RP developing. Was affable and boisterous but circumstances has dampened his mood.

Fortitude: A revolver, the magic within lost over time. It's sister Courage was lost when the younger brother vanished. It is a family heirloom given to Anaris by his grandfather. Anaris considers it to be a token of good luck.

"L.B": The wraith Jakai led Anaris to this weapon. It is a dull and worn sword with only the initials L.B etched on the hilt. However, when Jakai lends his power to Anaris, the sword takes on a spectral form, cutting through most things with ease.

Coffin Maker- A simple looking stake imbued with holy power. Anaris cannot wield it while he is in wraith form.

Abilities:
Wraith- Anaris assumes a spectral form granting him increased strength and reflexes. Depending on the amount of power, he may also turn invisible. Abuse of this power will shorten Anaris' already shortened lifespan.

I See You: Jakai moves invisible in a 50 meter radius around Anaris. Useful for detection and scouting. Any magical damage to the wraith will also physically damage Anaris.

Icy Veins: Requires physical contact with the living. Chills them to the very core. Not so effective against the undead and those with a rather fiery spirit.

Drain Touch: Requires Wraith. Attacks that cut and bleed opponents will sap life. Physically holding someone, their life can also be drained.

Traits:
Experienced: Anaris has hunted for nearly 14 years and can utilize close quarter combat and long range combat adeptly.
Possession: The presence of a wraith inside of Anaris grants him several wraithlike attributes. His resistance towards dark and cold type magic is increased. Pain threshold is also increased.
Scarlet eyes: Intimidation factor, glows in the dark, can see slightly better than the average human in the dark
Restless: Averages less than five hours of sleep a day on a good day.
Survivor: Being on the hunt means one sometimes have to live off the land for stretches of time and Anaris has done that many times over his career.

Backstory:
Anaris Halford came from a line of hunters famed for their scarlet eyes. Of his living relatives only his mother and two brothers are alive today. His mother retired from the work. His older brother is married and runs a bar. His younger brother went missing nearly five years ago on a hunt.

Anaris was nearly killed fighting a particularly powerful blood golem, one of many nefarious constructs on Darkova. As the blood golem prepared for the finishing blow, Anaris' desperation and will to live summoned forth a powerful wraith residing nearby. The wraith, calling himself Jakai, offered him a deal. To die ingloriously or share his mind and body with the wraith. Anaris readily agreed and with the wraith's powers, he killed the blood golem.

However, this came at a cost. Sharing his body with a spirit has slowly taken a toll on Anaris' physical body. He also could not rid himself of the wraith afterward for he had made an unbreakable pact in which only the wraith can break. In addition, any attempt to exorcise the wraith out of him would be lead to death as they are two souls in one body. In spite of this, nearly a year since possession, Anaris found it strange that he has yet to come to a inner struggle over his soul and body with Jakai. It appears Jakai has other plans.

One day, he read a letter from a man called Alister. It was a familiar yet distant name. Reading the letter's call to arms. Anaris took up his arms and left for the mansion.

*The wraith has kept to himself and hasn't divulge much information about itself although it has lent Anaris its aid and they have made small talk. It was bounded in the area where Anaris nearly fought but with a strong enough physical vessel, it could move away from the area. Wraiths feed on the energy of the living which mean Jakai is killing Anaris though the process can be expedited in as little as a minute if Jakai is very hungry.

Hmmmm.....Might I get maybe an idea of some situations where the Wraith wouldn't be OP. It's cool, and I don't mind it at all, just making sure is all.

My side character gets called out for OPness?

The wraith cannot physically manifest itself. It won't be throwing fireballs or screeches. As it is part of Anaris' soul it resides inside of him. Although it can leave Anaris and wander within 50 meters around him, it cannot interact with any objects in the physical world. In addition, it is vulnerable to magic at this state.

It is a glorified scout that provides boosts solely to Anaris. For now I think.

I mean the guy is slowly being drained away by the virtue of having his soul bind to one that is no longer of this world.

Hello everyone, My name is Zanon.
I am a member of Starcraft 2's RP group that makes its home in the Joeyray's Bar section of the forums.
(Check us out if you have a SC2 Battle Net account)

I generally do side-story posts in the Original Darkest Heart, where I do 'world-building' in an effort to add depth to this awesome world we call Darkova. I very rarely make character sheets for my characters, as many are one or two post wonders, and others will never meet another player controlled individual.

Thom (blatantly ripped off from The Wheel of Time series) serves as a tool to give other Player Characters information (You may think of him as your local information broker) while entertaining them at the same time. He does not join the players on missions or become entangled in the main plot. That is your job.

I look forward to seeing what you people have to write.

You're good in the IC, Zanon. Wondered if both you and KO would come to see what was being written XD

ALL HAIL THE GLORIOUS DICTATOR!

(Hello Zanon, it's CR) :P
