Oh wow, okay. I hadn't really poked my head into the free section speaking prior, I'd been under the uninformed assumption that most of what I'd see'd be a little too basic and quick-fire for my tastes. This looks really interesting though, potentially. If you're going to shift the thread over I'll wait on that, then I'll make an application hopefully.


Great to have you. I'm at work at the moment but I think I can get the new thread started by Thursday? Don't need to wait if you want to post a character here in the OOC.

@Polybius
So basically, shes kind of light blind, meaning her eyes are super sensitive to light, alike to the same properties of snow blindness. It was also a good reason for her to be distant from her family, as its almost a burden being with them. Also, im cool with moving over to intermediate.

Thanks guys! Though, in honesty, it's moreso great for me to be able to write a bit with you guys, than for you guys to have little old me on board... this already looks to be shaping up really well, and The Mindskitter in particular was a straight-up genius character before he even got out the door.

Sorry to distract you from your work Polybius - don't worry about the new thread and if/when it comes, I sort of misread what you'd said in the first place and honestly, it's no big deal where the thread's located. I'll get a char up pretty soon if I can; got an idea or two in mind, but I'll have to make myself resist for tonight as I really must do a good bit of Maths revision before I embark on some damned fruitless resit tomorrow. Course I don't particularly want to do that Maths, and I'm not the most disciplined of people, but I have to try. :P

Aw, shucks.

Really, though, great to have you join. Good luck on both your math and character.

She didn't stab it with a knife.

Though, to be fair, I didn't get that it was in a bush. I thought it had just settled down onto the undergrowth.

Apologies, must've skimmed over the wood part. Post is fixed, thanks for the notification.

Knowledge Consumption: Whilst consuming the knowledge of an indivual, the Mindskitter must maintain attachment (called a "mental sync") of one of it's bodily or 'phantom' tendrils to the indivual. The manifestation of 'phantom tendrils' are mental, but become physical and physically manipulable upon creation. The Mindskitter experiences pain if such tentacles are harmed. The phantom tendrils can extend much farther then the beast's bodily tendrils.


Added this to my CS to prevent confusion on how the Mindskitter feeds. Really liked the idea @Gentlemanvaultboy and @rechonq came up with about the physical attachment, so I just went along with it, although I added that it would be able to mental sync from farther away.

Ohhhh, yeah, I didn't realize they weren't physical. That would have changed it.

Name: Fazra
Race: Orc
Appearance: Towering over most human women(and some orc ones) at 6'4, Fazra is heavily built. In her youth she was all muscle, and though she's put on some weight as she's left her twenties, she is still built strongly, love handles or no. She is of a subterranean species of Orc, boasting pale gray skin and larger ears for sharper hearing. Her face is still mostly young, though a scar on her lip and a bent nose indicate the hardship of her past life. Her hair is thick, black and course, and she wears it shaved on one side, and the other braided and tied back from her face.
She dresses in a studded leather skirt over chainmail with a ragged edge. Her chest is guarded by a thick steel plate, roughly formed but strong. Her right arm is bare all the way up the shoulder, and her left has a chainmail sleeve that extends to just above her elbow tight against her thick biceps. Her left hand is gauntleted with thick steel, a buckler built in.

Inventory: An ancient war hammer, one side of the head is flat, the other a sharpened pick. Though Fazra has never seen a horse, this weapon was originally used by human cavalry. She can swing it with one hand or both.

Personality: To be revealed in game.

History: Fazra comes from a clan of Orcs that used to dominate the Bright Road, so called for the gas powered lights that were originally placed at intervals. The gnomes that put them there aren't around to maintain them anymore, and only a few work anymore. Fazra's clan was notorious for ambushing travelers who stopped to camp under the surreal glow of one of the few remaining lights. The clan was strong and well supplied enough to maintain dominance, but people became wary of the road, pickings became slim. By Fazra's time, the clan was desperate, and as they over reached into more populated areas of the Endless Halls, they drew the ire of better prepared groups.

A vanguard of knights tore through them, leaving few enough alive. Though Fazra was considered an adult among her clan at 14, the knights saw her as a child, and took her in instead of killing her. Though they had killed her family, her culture respected strength, and she was more than glad to be on the winning side.

This is super helpful GodOfWar, thanks for clarifying your characters powers. If anyone would like to add a Special Abilities section to their character sheets go ahead..I think it will help in the long run. Remember your CS's are dynamic-add info as you go along to help clarify your characters personality, history and abilities.

Hm... I should have read the IC before making a character. I seem to have made a little blunder; my character was written as a native to the Endless Halls. Is that okay, or should I change it up a bit?

No reason swamps and oceans can't exist in the Halls. Change it to suit your characters needs!
