No more Dragons, please... there will be another dragon, as stated in the first post, but he/she will be mine!*insert evil laugh here*

I will be putting up another character sheet, and then going over all of the CSes to give a verdict of accepted or not, and what needs work on. And then... the IC will be opened... expect it to be done in 3-4 hours...

As I said, I figured it was a stretch, but it was worth bringing up.

Name:
Dros Delnoch

Race:
Human

Class:
Witcher

Age:
97

Appearance:


There have been many descriptions for this particular witcher, but many have been exaggerated over the years. Many have described him as a giant, standing well over 7 feet tall, swinging his ax Snaga to dreadful effect into ranks of unsuspecting warriors. Reality is far less kind. Standing barely an inch above six feet, he is hardly a giant of any sort, except in sheer mass, which he has plenty of. A stout man, with immense arms the size of most men's thighs, a thick chest topped by broad shoulders. His legs are thick and stout, and as any man would tell you, it is quite difficult to get him to lose his balance. His hair and beard are a pure white, and his eyes are the color of a winter sky, with the pupils slitted, like a cat's.

He is best known for his armor, a helmet of northern make, with silver skulls embedded over each temple. Dressed in a coat of mail, covered in small plates over the chest, gauntlets of steel, leggings of leather, with extra protection around the groin area, and steel-toed boots, if you saw him charging at you with a double-bladed ax, you would know that you are finished. When not in battle garb, he tends to be dressed in a bear pelt coat, sheepskin shirt and the same leggings and boots. He carries a medallion with a lion's head on it wherever he goes.

In general, a 90-year-old that lives like a fifty-year-old and fights like a 30-year-old.

Personality:
Generally a good-meaning fellow, with a deep hearty laugh and a good sense of humor, along with a taste for drink and women, he is known for drinking many a champion to sleep, telling tales of magic and wonder, and even singing, if that is one of his lesser skills. A man that is hard to be missed, whether he is travelling, drinking, rutting, or, especially, fighting. He gives off a very large presence, which dumber or more poetic (in his eyes, the same thing) people see as him being physically larger than he actually is.

While one hell of a fighter, thanks to 3 quarters of a century spent fighting, and with his witcher's adaptation and training, he is also feared for being a natural beserker, a man that can go into what some call a battle rage or a Kon Dar (blood thirst, in Nilfgaardian) at will. Nearly unstoppable when he goes into one of those, the sheer menace that he radiates, besides the fact that an already intimidating figure is covered in the blood and gore of his fallen enemies, screaming and cursing in different languages has been known to have even the greatest of warriors soiling themselves, and running.

Weapons:(Nothing too overpowered here, please)
Snaga, the Sender (steel), usually carried in his hands.
Drucos, the Receiver (silver), Generally sheathed on his back

Bio:
His origins are murky, but it is generally agreed that he is not a born Nilfgaardian, although he has been given many regards by the Emyr himself, given full citizenship by the same. He was born in some unknown, unnamed village of a kingdom north of Nilfgaard, and was one of the first to fall into the Empire. His parents were killed in the war when he was young of age, and he was one of the many orphans of that war. Taken in by the Lion's Witcher school, the last one in the south, he trained there for about 20 years, leaving at the age of 25, to seek out his own fortunes. He joined the Nilfgaardian army then, fighting alongside them, quickly distinguishing himself among many, soon being promoted to Emyr's champion.

He fought in the second Nilfgaardian War, and while they lost, it was not for lack of his effort. One of the most powerful figures in that war, he is said to have dueled the White Wolf himself, and beaten the other Witcher to a standstill, both sides conceding a draw. After that war, however, some say because he was disappointed at the retreat of Nilfgaard, he abandoned the Empire and became what witchers usually tended to be: A monster hunter and a mercenary.

Even as this he gathered quite a name for himself, and while he seemed a bit more mellow than he was in his past days, he was still a fighter to behold and fear, both against men and monsters, fighting in the various smaller wars that the North was known for. However, as his age began to grow (although his body, barring his hair, remained quite young and strong), he began to see futility in the fighting, and retired in general, enjoying rather to travel across the North and enjoy the countryside, killing monsters and escorting caravans and noblemen in their travels when he needed coin.

Was there an option not to kill Saskia? I don't remember exactly what the events of the end of my game were. I remember going to save Triss(by the way, just to start an argument, Triss or Yennefer?), then I believe I went to stop some sorcerer, though I forget who it was. Was that Philipa? I really can't remember, though I remember (spoiler) letting them rip themselves apart with a spell gone wrong. That culminated in a tower-top battle with dragon-form Saskia, who was still unfortunately under Philipa's control.

If you choose to accompany Iorveth to Vergen, you find a way that you can keep from killing Saskia... look it up in the wiki...

Also, from the looks of it, Yennefer is a complete bitch... Triss, totally...

Icos: Character Accepted! Would you like him and Iorveth to meet up to discuss stuffs?

I am guessing that the troll character is out, but should he return, he will be welcome..

Palamon: Great character. Sir Brenn is accepted.

Fulsom: Amir is accepted, of course...

Sini: I had some qualms about accepting a half-elf that looked so much like a human, but there were a few that were like that, so accepted! Although recall that an elf's magic is considerably different than human magic, and that would have been apparent in his training.

Kate: Keira Metz and Saskia are accepted...

Moon: Sera is accepted, but again, elf magic is different from human magic.

Bane: Your characters are totally awesome and accepted...

My two cents... I hope people in here like to do collabs and the such, I need some more ethical and moral dilemmas for my character.


Yeah yeah, collabs and the like are things I like to do time and again in my interaction with characters so conversations between PC's are more fluid.

Btw, Dros is a fucking Bad Ass! haha

Aye, in the books Yennefer did seem to be an utter bitch, I think she abandoned a fatally wounded Geralt, and continued on with her life while he was in search for her. I can't really remember all too perfectly though because I haven't read the books in quite some time.

Does the 3 Witcher cap mean excluding your own, Bane? I've already got most of my CS laid out and would rather not start over. The whole excluding the GM's own is something I often do, which is why I'm asking.

Hmmm Last I counted there were three witchers, including my own, but should a worthy contender arise, I will exclude mine from the cap. Until such a time, no more witchers without consulting me first, please.

Hm... I did that... I really have to go back and play it again when next I have access to my xbox.

And I hated the hell out of Yen in The Last Wish, but she has grown on my through Blood of Elves and The Time of Contempt. Her bitchyness seems so much more toned down. But I still feel for Triss, because their relationship just seems so much more sad to me. Though yes, she did magically seduce him when he and Yennefer had a fight, she still seems much less manipulative. I'm about half way through Time, so I hope she comes back into prominence in the latter half. Plus Yen is so jealous, though she has every reason to be...

Deamonbane said Would you like him and Iorveth to meet up and discuss stuffs?

Sure. Could be out in wilderness of the Pontar Valley, where Nira would have been doing his business, or in Vergen, where it would give more of an opportunity to come into contact with other characters.

Yeah, I guess she kinda does... I forget if this happens in the books, but in the first game, Geralt is really... really popular with the ladies...

Reasons for making him an half-elf is to add a bit more flavour to the character. He has never really fitted in among any of the races due to being a bastard. Having trouble with himself as well as finding a place in society, is a big portion of his personality up to recent IC-events. Additionally, I kept it as half-elf because that would make everything I write plausible. How magic works in the world of the Witcher is not clean cut, so I basically tried to give myself enough leeway. Lastly, people can hate him for what he is, not just a sorcerer, but a sullied one to boot.

Would you mind detailing the differences, please? I'm not very familiar with the universe and the wiki was only so helpful.

The way that I could tell it, human magic centered more around spells and elements, while the power of elves laid more in the earth, water and growing living things. The living force, if you are a Star Wars fan...

Yeah, I'm gonna need a little bit of guidance as you boys all talk about what happened in game 1, 2 and 3. I assume creative license is in order unless you're playing closely to what happens in the game and then I'm not sure this is my cup of tea. I'd be asking what to do all the time and that's out.

Assume creative license, sweetie... have fun, it's a game, and it's a story, and of course it isn't going to be all perfect according to the books.
