[quote=@Pirouette] [hider=Tanzin] Name: Tanzin Akar Gender: Male Birthday: August 12th Age: 34 Class: Macemaster Occupation: Ex-Jailer of Dun Gardar Prison Species: Human (Nymerian) Appearance: [img]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/190/6/e/kings_of_the_realm_by_grafit_art-d7pwk0f.jpg[/img] He is a massive man at 7'2" with a large build and large features. Olive skin color. Personality: Tanzin places a lot of a value in strength, seeing as his strength is the primary reason for his successes in life. Although physical strength is important, there are many ways of expressing strength and Tanzin tries to achieve that strength even though he may not be well qualified. Leadership is a great example of his flaw because he always wants to lead, but he never was the sharpest knife.. His attempts at leadership often times are not thought out and end up poorly. He isn't above seeking council but he always wants that role of leading others, seeing as it tends to be an "Alpha" trait. Weakness is not something Tanzin appreciates. Expression emotion, especially cowardice, is considered weakness and be prepared to get no support from Tanzin. He might even insult you for it. Of course, Tanzin realizes that the world is mostly populated by weaklings so he is above picking on the weak with all his physical strength. That means no banditry or bullying from this guy. He's kind of a tough egg to crack and may appear cold but get to know him a bit, and you'll find that typical "jock" attitude. He may be recklass, brash, and a bit dull but you'll find he is noble, loyal, and a fierce friend. He's a lover of humor and battle and those are the best way what he describes as "kinship". Likes: Battle, Strength, Camaraderie, Booze, Summer Heat Dislikes: Traitors, Bandits, Winter Chills, Complaining Past/History: Some call it the Rust Desert, Tanzin calls it home. The Rust Desert is a vast span of nothing but sand and dunes. Very few oases can be found within the boarders, but each oasis is large enough to support large Nymerian cities. Located somewhere around the center of the Rust Desert is an infamous jail that holds the worst perpetrators from the known world, Dun Gardar. Escape is possible and rumor has it, even encouraged because the bet is that no prisoner would possibly escape the desert. Tanzin in his youth was born and raised in one of the oasis cities. He was a bit more humble back then and his smart-mouth got him into a lot of trouble but his strength always got him out. He was actually recruited by the previous warden of Dun Gardar when he became of age and had served that dreadful prison for ten years before quitting. The reason for his retirement is because he wanted to see the world and using his reasonable wealth from guard duty, he did just that. Eventually he found out that he could make money almost anywhere because the world needed a man who could swing a warhammer with ease. So he went from job to job, receiving pay here and there. He never asked for much and always spared those who couldn't really afford much. [/hider] [hider=Elle] Name: Elle Allywin Nicknames/Aliases: Astrid Gender: Female Birthday: June 8th Age: 24 Class: Astronomer Mage Occupation: Aestrith Priestess, Ex-Navigator for the [i]Hringhorn[/i] Species: Human (Norse) Appearance: [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/8f/64/3d/8f643d7449b7c80750823c36812fbabc.jpg[/img] Personality: Elle is considered by most to be very quiet, her words barely above a whisper, and reserved, hardly expressing emotion or interest. She'll take a backseat to conversation and many times her mind wanders to other things. Despite the rarity of her speaking, she is considered quite smart when focused. Her usual movements are quite lethargic and she really does take her time, which means she is always one for planning ahead. When night falls, she gets a little more energetic and becomes more likely to open up. Part of the reason is due to her powers, the other reason is due to her upbringing as an Aestrith Priestess because they would function in the night instead of the day. Likes: Quiet, Beautiful Views, Night, Sea Dislikes: Noise, Towns, Rushing to accomplish something Past/History: [/hider] Elle's next but I want to just make sure and save progress here. [/quote] Whoa your characters are so lovely- I especially like Tanzin's backstory and his previous job. Elle is coming along nicely too c: When you finish them up feel free to post them in the character section and get started! We're currently only waiting on Jerkchicken, AiyvaGuard, and Pirouette to sign up. After that I'll post the next World post to move the plot along.
