Race: Gnome

Avatar: Caninn Troy. But Gnorlin doesn't worship him for the usual reasons. No, he adores the idea of magic, and since there is no magic in these times, he has retorted to worshiping the last known powerful sorcerer known to men.

Name: Gnorlin Sparklebrow

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Appearance:



Current Equipment:

- A small scythe specially crafted for smaller creatures.
- A dagger. Always with him. You know... just in case.
- A stupid book he got for his birthday called 'Brews & bombs for dummies'. Maybe he had some time to read it in the breaks.

Handy Skills:

- Sneaky. Being small has it's advantages.
- Observant. Gnomes are known for having keen eyes! Gnorlin isn't any different in that.
- Jack of all trades. Mainly because he's good at nothing and usually doesn't last longer then 2 weeks on a job...

Personality at RP's Start: Gnorlin has become rather shy due to all his failings in the past. He tends to avoid people, as they only make fun of him. But oh boy... If something succeeds (or when he had too much to drink), you'll never hear the end of him.
Before he started failing at every job that was human-... gnomely possible, he was a cheerful lad, full of potential and laughter.

Facts Likely Known To Others: Gnorlin is known as a rather useless idiot who doesn't really excel at anything. He also has a rather large unpaid tab at the local inn... It is said he's no longer welcome until he pays the bills.

Yes, I'm still going alchemy, but a different route then AbysmalDemon.

Race: Human

Avatar: Hogun strongly believes that he will be a 'grandiose mage of complete importance" in his next life. It is the only way he can rationalize past failures as a terribly untalented and clumsy occultist. Because of his beliefs, he turns to avatar Kalem for guidance. His devotion is made known by the markings on his forehead, a tattooed symbol of the four limbed serpent king.

Name: Hogun Shantrix

Gender: Male

Age: 42



Current Equipment: Tool belt containing: Pouches and slits for cutting tools like a sickle (for corn harvesting duties) shear (for fletching duties) one butcher knife, and one skinning knife (for livestock butcher duties.)

Handy Skills: Fletching, Butcher, and Crop Harvesting

Personality at RP's Start: Hogun comes off as a learned yet eloquently spoken mad man. His macabre, and often unintentional, form of humor is conveyed with such sincerity that it’s hard to tell when/if he’s joking. Prepare to get awkwardly caught in the throes of topics you never cared about, nor wanted to discuss in any sort of capacity. Despite an otherwise off-putting first impression he may convey to newcomers, he is a hoot to have around in social gatherings. His storytelling is truly engaging – so much so that he’s had to tone it down after last year’s festival. To this day, The tale of Bishan’s Screaming Child on Blood Orgy Mountain is a prime cause for many of the children's nightmares.

Facts Likely Known To Others: It is common knowledge that a young Hogun was part of a commune devoted to the spiritual and practical study of magic called The Whisperers. Hogun lets it be known that magic exists and that he could have been a grand mage if not for his dabbling in the dark arts. According to Hogun, he botched a conjuring ritual where he sacrificed what turned out to be a sacred lamb. A high level archmage stripped away his magical powers and threw him out of the commune. It turns out that The Whisperers were infamously known throughout the land as traveling con artists. They tricked their followers into believing they could summon mystical powers – all for a one time hefty sum of coin. It also turns out that the archmage that banned Hogun from the commune was a wanted criminal named Spiltz Fonzworth. A common detail that is described in most of Fonzworth’s wanted posters is that he is usually seen with a black lamb. I think you can see where this is going. Hogun received no refund for his enrollment fees into The Whisperers.

He was married to an elephantian (elephant humanoid) named Letra, a Cowfallow native who died while giving birth to their only son, Truxis. He is 11 years old.

Okay, I think we have enough to at least push the boat from the shore. We'll no doubt garner some more interest once the lurkers see how things are going to go down.

For those who read the intro, they'd of noticed that "one hundred and twenty feet" were mentioned, this is referring to sixty farmhands who head back from the fields to help the village. Some of those left when they saw what was happening, but some have stayed.

Let's say, in total, we've got about thirty-forty farmhands standing on the bridge. These NPCs are mere cannon fodder, watch them die or save them at will - or forge secondary characters from them should you wish. Their main purpose however, will be the faceless mass from which new players can spring from during the initial foray.

After the Battle of Cowfallow, any new characters will come from the villagers that fled to safety, but found their resolve late, turned, and tracked down those that held the bridge.

If there's any questions or queries, shout them out as we go, I'll do my best to answer.

@3905C RG sounds good :D

There we go.

I've given at least one person a jumping in point, if they want it :D

EDIT: Just to clarify, the bridge is mingled with fleeing villagers, and the first of the Orcs who have caught up with them - so it's total chaos at this point. The rest of the Orcs are either in the village, or still making their way to the bridge. We're not exactly facing a battle line at this point, just some of the advance party.

So am I able to post?

@Flynn LOL Old Man Willakers. That's so cliche, but I love it!

@AbysmalDemon It's actually the name of a persona of a youtuber, but sssh... let's just stick with creativity xD

@AbysmalDemon It's actually the name of a persona of a youtuber, but sssh... let's just stick with creativity xD

I know it is, I watch him.

But, almost every knight story has an old man willakers. Or at least the ones I've seen.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night dear sir/madam GM :D

Is there still room for one more character cause this looks like a really awesome RP :)

@Zoldyck Yay! high dutchie!

@Zoldyck Yay! high dutchie!

Shh! Dont make it so obvious to everyone! I nearly fell from my windmill! :P

I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes; I'm using a tablet to write this from my hotel room and I'm kinda tired.

@3905C RG My bio, will work on it a bit if needed

Race: Human

Avatar: The life of a bastard is one of struggle. With the deck stacked against you from the start you have to learn to thrive in a hostile world. As something of an outcast, Thekk faces judgmental glances, low mutterings, and the futility in trying to change something he had no control over. Because of this, Thekk holds the Rat in high esteem, identifying with the futile struggle that is life.

Name: Thekk

Gender: male

Age: 19

Appearance: The best words to describe Thekk are remarkably average. Despite having somewhat of an angular face, with high cheekbones and a thin chin, most of Thekk's features don't provoke any sense of wonder or disgust. His most idiosyncratic feature would be his thick, curly black hair paired with vibrant green eyes.

Current Equipment: Harvesting sickle, Toolbelt with hammer, chisel, and a mostly blunted from use hatchet, thick working gloves

Handy Skills: Minor Wound Treatment - specialized in animals Forestry - identifying local herbs and plants Horseriding - from working in his father's stables

Personality at RP's Start: Thekk is something of a loner. He doesn't talk much because he is rarely talked to. He harbors bitter resentment for a life he had no choice in forming and aspires to be known for something beyond his means of conception.

Facts Likely Known To Others: Thekk is a bastard (hence the lack of surname). Not just any bastard, but one belonging to a rich landowner in the village. Though not accepted as a full member of his father's family, he has modest quarters among his father's homestead. He "earns" his stay by working his father's fields and stables. His illegitimacy caused something of a scandal among the village at the time of his birth, and he has been something of the town pariah ever since.

Kordo, of the the Dunemail clan

Accepted :D Welcome aboard!

Gerly Smith

Accepted. To keep the others in the loop: Gerly is a blacksmith, out in the fields fixing a plough. Not quite a farmhand, but it's keeping in line with things so I've allowed it.

Thekk

And here comes Mr. Rain Cloud! Accepted :)

Ite, I'll be getting up mah post in a little while. Lemme go read what's happened since Saamir got bitch slapped by an Orc.

Sorry I didn't post this sooner I've been at the beach with my friends all weekend and I didn't get service.

@Blizz I originally named my character Jack and than right after I posted my CS I was reading everyone else's and was ugh I'm gonna have a lot of words to change from Jack to Jamie

Yay, my character is accepted! Now to think of the introduction post... :P

(Incase people were wondering where I got my acceptance of the character. I send the CS in a PM over to the GM because I just preffer it that way, plus it keeps the OOC clean imo.)

EDIT: Scratch that, I'm back online. Well that was an experience I don't wanna ever repeat for the rest of my adult life.

^ To those who weren't here earlier, I lost my internet connection due to some paying issues but it's now been resolved after much aggro.
