@Polybius I didn't see your post about your preference for characters made for this. I've had a character in mind. I'll write him up and save Avrion for a special occasion.

Yes. Sorry I didn't clarify that!

Just a preference. If you wish to use a new character that is fine too!

Great. I'll get a post up pretty soon, but maybe not today because I've got a bunch of stuff to do.

Name: Victor Guttman

Race: Vampire

Victor is a pale man, his skin a pallid and almost grey color, his hair is as pale as his face, long and often apparently unkempt his hair seems to have an almost beast like allure, not unlike his face. The man has a... suave and swarthy air about him, mysterious and darkly charming Guttman appears to be in his mid twenties to thirties, and his face often carries a smirk or a haughty look of superiority. His body is well built, not stocky but stong, and not thin but graceful his arms and legs radiate a strange physical prowess, almost unnatural. His broad shoulders attest to his strength and his long limbs his speed.

He is never without his heavy armour, a set of artfully crafted fluted full plate colored a dark rust red. The articulate piece of armour is heavy, and carved for the maximum deflection of blows. He wears a great helm helmet, topped with the terrifying metal wings of a bat. Normally, such armour would heavily slow its wearer down, but Guttman has an unholy strength and speed, able to move in the armour the way another man could only move in far lighter armour. He has a dark black cape, that appears tattered and aged, much shorter than it once may have been, though he will sometimes remove it when in combat. His vampiric abilities give him beauty, grace, speed and strength,,, but do come at a cost. The longer he goes without blood the more he will appear... bestial. As time wears on Guttman will begin to slouch, growl and focus more and more on killing... until he becomes little more than a beast seeking lifeblood. The longer he goes the weaker he will become, and the more blood he will need to return to his full strength.

Inventory: Fluted Plate Mail, longsword, Black cape, shield, lance

Special abilities:
Vampiro majoris- Victor Guttman is a vampire, and carries the enhanced physical abilities that brings. He is far stronger and faster than a mortal man, and does not age. In addition, being undead means he can shrug off far more damage than any other mortal... but all this power comes at a steep price. In addition to his need for blood their are several methods that will quickly kill him outright as well as objects, materials and substances that weaken or can even disable him.

Personality: Although he appears suave and sophisticated, Victor Guttman is anything but. Though intelligent enough to know he must hide his true nature, and more than able to effectively lie about what he is he hardly cares what others think of him. He enjoys combat with a passion, and little delites him more than cutting up a worthy foe. Though civil enough with allies, and even kind or rather accomodating with allies he gives off an unsettling air... and the cruelty hidden in his eyes comes out when he becomes embroiled in combat, laughing and howling as he fights in a terrifyingly bestial display. Though he puts an a thin air of civility and comraderie, he is cruel, hateful, angry, bestial and completely entranced by his own wishes and desires... above all he is selfish and greedy.

History: Victor Guttman was changed into a Vampire... well it was quite a long timme ago when he was given the gift of the blood kiss. So long ago in fact he does not remember his life as a human, past that he was once a mercenary knight of some sort. His old life hardly mattered, for this new unholy life granted him more than he ever could have gained as a mortal. For untold years he fought across the lands, seilling his unholy strength and skill to the highest bidder. He won many battles, wielding lance and sword atop his skeletal steed... until he was struck down. In the muck of some battle on some gods forsaken mire he was  struck down by a myriad of blades and implements and sank... beeath the peat and stench until the light of the world was gone to him... and then he awoke, deep within the bowels of... somewhere, his arms and armour about him... time to forge a new way.

Other: Victor has attained such skill with the lance he is able to wield the weapon unmounted in spite of its length and weight.

It didn't seem to bother anyone with my assumption that the cave was simply a place that could be wandered into on a whim.
Although, you know what they say about when you assume...whoever the hell 'They' are.

Also, yay, an antagonistic character. :U

Edit: Also, good lord the spurratic downtime has been bad, today.

I believe it says in the opening that their memories are hazy and unclear. I'm on my phone right now so I can't really provide a quote.

You have purpose here-that much is clear. Where you have come from is not immediately apparent, your mind clouded with uncertainty. But you feel a sense of reassurance that your path will manifest itself, if only by taking that first step. Tread lightly.@Polybius

@Diggerton
Yeh, it's towards the end of the gray section.

Sorry, been a very busy weekend.  I have jury duty tomorrow, so I don't know if I'll even have posted by then.  We'll see if I manage anything tonight.

I assumed that the shafts of light mentioned in the opening post are how people are getting in. Just ported down from the surface with no idea how they got here, maybe losing a few hours in the process like an alien abduction.

Also, as I am reading the CSes as I encounter the characters in the IC, I notice that Fazra has been overtaken as the largest character.  She'll have to smash Cyrano's legs below the knees, retake her title.  

Double also: Cyrano is really powerful, I just want to kind of address this.  He can absorb the powers of magical items?  Is there a limit to this?  Does he gain their whole power, or just a portion?  Is there any way to recover the item or is it gone forever?  That's really powerful, especially in a game that has some revolution around artifacts.  He's also both strong and has extra mobility due to flight and climbing.  

He's both a physical and a magical juggernaut(the latter being more potential than current), and only has one major weakness, which is highly situational, and not guaranteed to come up.  That comes off as kind of OP to me.

Cyrano had to eat the item to absorb it, and I'd didn't clarify this but, but when I initially played him, the effects were up to the dm and not always good. I was going to with permission of course, leave it up to the dm@Polybius again. 
I will happily change characters or the nature of Cyrano as well of course, if needed.

Power can be as triflingly fleeting as it may be difficult to obtain. At this point in the thread, many magic items would benefit others far more than to serve as food for a gargoyle.
Stone comes with its own issues, as I don't imagine wounds would be easy to heal...though they could take quite a beating.

This is certainly turning out to be a motly crew of devious degenerates and devilish desecrations. Outcasts, might we all be.  :P
Mostly?...feh.
Sorry, my hype is real and powers in a fantasy setting can easily be nerfed the moment you apply logic to them.

I'm having issues with the forums right now-frustrating! 

 Per the discussion on powers/magics etc. Just use common sense. The point of the RP is to develop a character over time and fill in some of the world lore/history...no sense in powergaming through that. Be cool and considerate of your fellow rpers!

Also at the start of this, I don't believe there was a set power level, basically just make a character you've wanted to use relative to the setting and then develop them. If you don't like the group your with, go down a different hall and meet up with another group. Echo will be happy to guide you to wherever you need to go. Multiple stories can be going on at once in this as well.

Hm, this sounds interesting. But I'm not entirely sure if I'll join or not. 

What do you think @Necrophage, should I drop Lila in here?
