Pietro: He’s an ass, just the same as any of the spoiled, bratty kids at the academy.
Karkadin: He seems nice, really, but those tentacles…
Theresa: I wish I could be as strong as she is, she just makes me realise how much I shouldn’t be here.
Kane: He seems to care, but then he looks at everything like it’s just part of one of those equations the Sages are always talking about, just numbers, not people. I don’t quite know what to make of him.
Wizzlebee: He seems nice, and fun, and clever, and something about him annoys Eleuril to no end. That alone would be enough to make me like him.
Benedict: He speaks honestly, I prefer that to silvertongued sneering nobles. Seriously though… what is he? How did he end up like that?
Arya : Finally, someone who understands what sarcasm is!
Shux: It’s like he has two faces, he’s like the boys back home, charming and sweet if you have something he wants, like your honour…
Kathleen: I feel like we have a lot in common, or at least the habit of poking our noses where they don’t belong.
Royce: I know exactly where I will be hiding when things go wrong. And they will go wrong.
Anna: I wonder if this is what Eleuril was like when he was young and not stuck inside my head? She takes herself far too seriously.
Oh shiet guys I've been roped into GMing 2 random RPs that my friends just decided to poop out. Not sure I have too much time for this, so can I put my character on hold and submit it again later when space opens up? Sorry for the inconvenience :/
@Maxx quistion if someone leaves would you be so kind as to tell me ?
Well I mentioned earlier that people who had already expressed interest can continue making sheets. You ready expressed interest, so you have until Sunday to get a sheet in.
"I have heard of Pietro Machelli. The count's son who took up the sword, the only trainee to refuse the Ram's offer of knighthood in generations? He's very skilled in swordplay, even making it an art. If only he had taken up the sword for a purpose more noble than riches and bedding women. He's a vulgar man, and I do not like his predisposition for arrogance, but he's a harmless sort and I can withstand arrogance. There's plenty of it found in courts, at least this swordmaster has practicality.
The others do not seem to take kindly to the young fairfolk, but I believe that stems from misunderstands. I can appreciate a prodigal student, and Anna is certainly making her way. What people forget is that fae age slower than the rest of us. They forget that Anna is still a young girl and has already been elected into prestige and has inherited generations of knowledge. Dealing with Anna is a matter of patience.
Theresa is a good lass, and she means well. She has done well to travel Tithe and survive its wilds, and her field of work is a noble calling: protecting villages and hamlets from vicious and terrorizing beasts and monsters? That's no knight, but she takes a knight's heart and marries it with thrill-seeking and adventure. I hope she finds her way.
Ben, I... I have nothing. As long as he doesn't hurt anyone, I think we'll be okay. I sympathize with him.
I think I've only seen a Dorak once before, and that was a merchant. Not in the sense that I'm unworldly or isolated, but... the Dorak tend to keep to themselves. They hardly leave their homeland, and when they do, it's not usually Tablor they go to. This climate isn't befitting of them, and I'm really wondering what brought Karkadin here.
Now, the gnome is a peculiar sort, doesn't seem to fully grasp human customs and culture, but I can tell he means well enough. He even helped to contain some of the wights with a powerful enchantment on the square's statue. He's a humble sort, I don't think he intends on telling me everything, or what kind of power he might hold... but as long as he's harmless, abides by the law, and continues to help like he did, I won't treat it as a matter that concerns me. He smells peculiar. Like bad taste masked with flowers. It could just be an alchemist thing.
The other faefolk, this Arya, born right in the wealthiest of the bunch, tracked right into the path of the Order of Mordane, given divine blood, trained in it - she's a lucky one, I wonder if she's aware of this... but she's a knight like me, yes? Rather, I was - but we both have duties to fulfill. They may not be the same, but we both do what we can to make Tithe safer. I may hold to higher scrutiny than the others, having gone through similar disciplinary courses, or so I would imagine.
But what do I have to say about Silvertongue? Shux is a bard, a good bard, but he reminds me all too much of the sort of politicians and nobles in Maceron. He would fit right in with the court, and the last thing I need is any more presences of corruption here. There's one good thing about this March of the Dead: it keeps everyone's heads screwed on right. If only they could stay that way.
Kathleen, on the other hand, does much less talking. An interesting sort, a curious soul, and a pretty face - if she's any good with that crossbow, I wonder how she'd pair with Sten. But one thing that keeps bugging me is... what are those bulges on her back beneath her cloak?
I know Sir Agathon. A commander knight like I once was. He was one of the few in the order who gave a damn like I did, and I regret that he wasn't one of knights I chose to contact first before my demotion. Although I'm not sure how he would have reacted - he holds no love for nobility, but he isn't that outspoken about it, more passive. Now that I think about it, I get the impression he'd just let things run the way they are and wait for something good to happen. That'd be a shame. Good things don't happen when we wait for them to come to us.
I know plenty like Vyri, the sort of downtrodden abused by nobility, the very ones I've made a name for protecting. She seems haunted by something, I do not know what though. It saddens me that there aren't any other guardians outside of Talbor. All of Tithe needs to look out for our weakest."
"Pietro Machelli? Who's that? Him, you're pointing at him? Oooooh, okay. Now I get what all the fuss is about. You see, I've been staring at him for the past ten minutes. If he's as good with a sword as they say he is, I would bet he's good with his hands, too.
Anna! Anna, Anna, Anna! A faefolk apothecary, no doubt has plenty of little bitty faefolk potion secrets to share, but oohh, I bet I could teach her a thing or two, yes sir-ee! I too have plenty-plenty little bitty potion secrets, and some plenty-plenty little bitty gnomish potion secrets! I'm full of secrets! Aha! And if she finds out, well, I guess that'd be a shame! Because fae wings are supposed to be valuable ingredients! I'm only joking of course, gnomish humor. Don't tell Kane I said that.
I like the monster hunter, her head is a refreshing shade of red, soothes the eyes. Oh, but she's also a monster hunter! I should ask her to bring back some monster parts after her hunts, I could get soooo many different kinds of potions, it'll be unreal! Maybe something to make that crossbow holding knight-man's head red, too, that platinum color is a - whoo - a real strain on the eyes.
On Karkadin: what in blazes is that? Is it sentient? Those face-worms looks like they might be useful for something... oh, I meant in a potion. I can't see any possible use for actually wearing it.
Kandy Kane sure triggers that sweet tooth, can talk up an old gnome plenty nice! I think he likes me you know? But as big and strong and handsome and blonde as he is - and, oh, noble - it's a shame I cannot take the sweet man up. You see, I'm saving myself for Pietro. Besides, what if that noble knight-man found out about my necromancy? I just don't think it would work out well at all. Pappy agrees.
The tall lizard boy was victim to who? Grendle? Grindle? Grundle? Whatever, some witch, she can't be so bad. But bad enough to turn him into a lizard boy! I think I'll help him out, yes? Maybe I can make that Anna girl my assistant and we can investigate cures for this magical ailment. I wonder if aether would be useful here too...
Anyways, Arya is a wizard knight-girl! That doesn't make any sense. What? Fire and stone. Or was it stone and fire? Oh, that's fine I guess, throwing rocks around, making things hots. But I bet she can't raise the dead or talk to spirits. Oh, oh my, is this my wizard pride? I didn't think I'd be so competitive! Oooh, competition. Now that'd be an interesting one. I still have, what? Maybe... forty years on her? Plenty, plenty. Okay, I'm confident again.
And the satyr, I love the satyr! I love music! What a fun little lad, likes money, I don't get that, but I like music and that's all that matters! He can have the useless "drune" stuff if he wants it, I don't need it, I... wait, I do need it. For everything. Why am I giving him this stuff for music?! That's not fair! Darnest outside customs!
The, the, the... girl? Woman? I guess she's a lady human, doesn't seem so spectacular. A little shy, I guess...? I just wonder what kind of stuff she's carrying under her cloak. Eh, bygones. Bygones!
The other knight-man, the bigger one, the heavier one - the hairier one. Walks like I do a wee bit, gives all a pouty face, but I hear he's alright, plenty so! If a wee sad, can't see why, he's working with strapping men a'plenty! Something goes wrong, I'll hide behind him... after Pietro.
Vyri is okay, I don't notice her much but she has a nice little ring with an incredible little secret inside. Paps tells me I shouldn't waste my time with that 'arrogant and evil ogre flank', whatever that means, something about spirits and conversations, but I stopped listening.. because ooooh, couldn't I learn a bit about that little guy in that little thing..."
So Septic called my bluff. Here is a non-comedic version of Pietro's impressions:
Karkadin: I've travelled all over Tithe, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Doraks are some of the most fun creatures you'll find. This one seems like a bit of a hard-ass, though. Wonder why.
Theresa: I've heard of the Red-hairs before. They're a weird bunch, but apparently they're gifted warriors. I'm sure that hottie's not better with a sword than I am, though! Perhaps I'll challenge her to a duel sometime. Maybe I'll even let her win to win her favor. After all, what does swordplay rhyme with? ...On second thought, hell if I'll let other people see me lose to a woman.
Kane: Kane seems like a good guy, but he's too much of a good guy, you know what I'm saying? I feel like my every move is being judged when he's around. Everyone is so smitten with him that it's like he walks under a brilliant ray of light! OH, HAIL KANE, LORD OF THE DOWNTRODDEN and all that bullshit. I'll have to take him down one of these days and show the others who the real champ is.
Wizzlebee: Jesus christ that guy is creepy. I swear he was staring at me for about ten minutes the other day! I don't know what his deal is, but I just get an overwhelming sensation that he's stalking me.
Ben: HOLY SHIT! That thing is HUGE! I swear it's twenty feet tall and the ground shakes when it walks?! Where did we find that thing? In a cave?! I'm glad he's on my side! If I saw a giant lizard man running at me across the battlefield with a meat hook in his hands I think I'd wet myself!
Arya: Ari's definitely got the best personality out of this bunch, and she's the one I've known the longest. We started travelling together a few weeks ago. I thought of trying to pull some moves on her, but with Anna around and the sun was always at a really weird angle and, well, I couldn't get my hair just right and...gah. What do you mean I'm blushing? I'll cut your tongue out if you ever accuse me of that again you damn craven! She's just another damn girl, like all the others! She's not special!
Shux: Now this is my kinda guy! He's jolly, conceited, and hold a ton of liquor! I've always wanted to travel with a bard! That way he can sing of my exploits while I kill people!
Kathleen: Ooh la la! Now THIS is a girl I wanna get to know personally, if you know what I mean. I'm a sucker for a southern islands chick. Bright-eyed with that awesome sun-kissed body. If I don't get her in bed I'm gonna go nuts! I will say, though, the whole cloak thing's a little weird. I have a few theories about it, but I'll keep my mouth shut for now.
Royce: Another do-gooder, but Royce is much more tolerable. He doesn't have that kind of halo that Kane does and he has more of a personality than "I'LL GIVE MY LIFE FOR TALBOR!" He seems pretty capable on the battlefield too. Not more capable than I, of course, but he'd be a solid second or third.
Vyri: A peasant, great. I have to go on a quest with a damn peasant. I mean, I guess I *do* need someone to clean up after me. it's not like I cook and clean when I don't have to, after all! I don't know why she wears that ring all the time, though. Doesn't she know it'll get dirty in the dishwater?
Anna: I tried getting with Anna once. She squeezed my internal organs. I puked rainbow-colored vomit for two days. She's cute, but she needs to lighten the hell up before she gets back on my good list. I guess she's useful, at least, but not useful enough for me to tolerate her bitchiness. Maybe she'll get eaten by a dragon or something...
@Maxx You know, I want to hate but like Pietro at the same time. I will say that I find his assessment of Kathleen to be the most flattering and I don't know how to feel about this.

I'd prefer that everyone get at least one post in by tomorrow so we can start moving the rp forward. Don't want to get bogged down and have the RP crash before we get into the story. Because all of the intros most likely won't be in by tomorrow evening, I'll extend the deadline for sheets to Monday.
EDIT: Also, for any of you league players out there, word of advice: don't play support mordekaiser. Just don't. It's not fun, and you won't have fun. There are so many things better than playing support Mordekaiser, such as:
Flying a Kite
Taking a walk in the park
Eating a sandwich
Petting a small furry animal
Rigorously masturbating (fan favorite!)
Setting your own hair on fire
Chasing Singed
Jumping off of a tall building without a parachute
Cutting your dick (or other various genitalia) on a cheese grater
