Day To Day Attire: A basic tunic, nothing special. It's often dirty.
Strengths: Max of 3

[*He's been working hard in the fields all his life, and as such has considerable stamina and a formidable practical strength.]
[*He's too stupid to be afraid of most things. This can work to his advantage if, say, an angry giant isn't expecting Joff to be dumb enough to actually run up and stab it in the eye with a hay baler.]
[*Joff is a very hard worker. If he can't get what he wants right off the bat, then he'll just keep on trying until he eventually gets it.]

Weaknesses: Minimal of 3

[*Joff lacks an expert's skill at fighting. He's been in a few scraps with other farmers, but that's it. He doesn't know what he's doing most of the time.]
[*He's too stupid to be afraid of most things. This can suck if he, for example, charges at a mad chimera and it rips his head off without hesitation.]
[*Joff has terrible social skills. He's annoying, ignorant, and rude.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stubborn * Bold * Ignorant * Tactless

Sexuality: Joff takes what he can get.
Relationship Status: His wife died of blood farts, so he's single and loving it.

Personality: Joff is like a honey badger in human form. He's a single-minded creature living off the fat of the land, working day and night just to make a living. He is stuck in the old ways and would sooner trek halfway across a frozen continent barefoot than allow some big fanny duke to talk down at him. He has a mean streak running a mile long, and from his point of view every slight is an offense to be avenged. Step on one of his crops? He'll step on your toes. Bump into him? He'll bump his fist into your crotch. Send him an angry letter from a distance kingdom? He'll throw it into a bonfire because he can't read it, and then travel all the way to your damned house by way of mule in order to kick your door down for being more educated than him.

He has a farmer's lust in addition to the native hard-headedness, and is perfectly willing to satisfy any female that flirts with him, be she human or elf or fairy or dragon, so long as she is sentient enough to smile and wave. Joff's simplicity is so extreme that he also tends to take most things said quite literally, even if it has been explained to him multiple times what "irony" is. Having no concept of irony, he has no qualms about laying siege to his opponents with farmyard implements that one would never expect to be of use in combat, such as dried corn, logs, hogs, pots, rocks, pitchforks, ect.

Habits: Minimal 2

[*Attempts to get lucky with every female he meets.]
[*Blindly attacks any foe.]

Hobbies: Smoking a pipe whilst staring menacingly at people.

[*A poor harvest]

[*Surveying a fertile land]

Dislikes: 6 minimal

[*Gays]

[*Missing pitchforks]
[*Females that refuse his advances]
[*Noisy animals]
[*Anything that threatens him.]

Me gusta.

A character likely to die if they even enter combat with a monster and having performed thing in the past which are certainly questionable and likely to have killed him? Accepted. Nah, just joking. Denied.

I will put forward the finalized character submission tomorrow after conducting one last review.

I'm genuinely curious how everyone will react to Jackal on their first encounter.

@dragonmancer Probably with either dull surprise or acceptance that the world is weird.

I would disagree on that regard. Monstrous beings, especially in a time and world such as the one described makes me believe it to be one of paranoia, fear and anger.

I'm genuinely curious how everyone will react to Jackal on their first encounter.

Well, considering this size comparison of our two characters, Clovis will probably react similarly to your average human's reaction to seeing a motherfucking paraceratherium, the largest land mammal ever to have lived. Which is to say, "holy shit, please don't step on me".

Nah, I'm with @Athinar. This universe is grimdark enough, with this cataclysm which has been burning entire countries at a time for twenty years straight.

Plus, we have no idea what other original races players will create, but which in the lore will obviously have been around a long time.

If, as it has been, burning at the hands of "monsters" and tragedy for so long, then deeper hatreds I would find to run truer. There exists few greater comparisons than our own world after all. I cannot begin to imagine how spiteful and long living grudges are, especially when it comes to matters of prior histories and worse yet... rumors.

I personally am quite partial to the notions of this setting being dark and rooted in fear and hatred. Just the underlying tone strikes me that way - even how the Vigilants are portrayed.

Certainly no "good guys" abounding.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity I meant my character alone, you know this, right?

Eirik is probably more tolerant than most normal people because he doesn't give a shit beyond getting money, after all.

It seems the roster's in need of magic, so there's my forte.

@Aristo@Athinar@The Harbinger of Ferocity@pugbutter@Oliver@dragonmancer@Tojin@Thecrash20@Inertia@Fyre Unholy

I will start working on the first IC post sometime here soon after I finish my own Character sheet. If you are making a sheet, do not worry about rushing. If you have yet to move a sheet to the Characters Tab, please do so as soon as possible. For those of you who have done their sheet, moved the sheet, and are waiting, thank you for waiting.

That would only make me more suspicious of anyone and anything, @Athinar, if gold is your game.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity It's not trying to kill me and nobody's hired me to kill it? Then Eirik would leave it alone. Ain't none of his business unless he's getting paid.

Eirik, for the most part, doesn't care, until it involves him in some way. He's not going to be proactive unless you can convince him it's in his best interests.

Well, day 3 of inactivity here we are.
Everyone still here, more or less?

@OliverYea.

I'm almost always around. I put my own CS up yesterday and I am currently working on a CS for the final NPC I'm going to write. After that, I'll post the IC sometime around Tuesday or Wednesday.
