Oh boy! An Overlord RP! While I'm a little behind with the Anime, I'd still love to join. Seeing that there's so far no non-human characters, I'll take one for the team by making a dwarf. (Note that Personality and Bio are empty - I'll add them in in due time)
(BTW, how many characters can we make?)
"Why just dolly around here for all yer days when ya can just let loose and go on a glorious adventure!"
Name: Tor Erik Magnusson III Race: Dwarf Gender: Male Character Level: 75 Alignment: Chaotic Good Guild/Party Affiliation: N/A Racial Class: Retired Dwarven General
Height: 4'8" (1.42 Meters) Weight: 155 Lbs (70 Kg)
Job Classes:
Hammer Master (15)
Warrior (10)
Shield Bearer (10)
Armor Smith (5)
Elementalist (Lightning) (5)
Fighting Style:
Tor is a heavy balanced tanky powerhouse, using his strength and cunning to win most battles whilst flexible enough to fit the shoes of both offensive and defensive roles. While many believe the dwarf to be incredibly slow and clunky at first glance, and they're not wrong to think this, he's actually rather agile and quick on his feet in small concentrated bursts even while carrying his heavy arsenal. Tor can use this stereotype to his advantage, often pretending to fit the description whilst observing the opponent's movement on the defensive. His shield is definitely strong enough to deflect most attacks. Once he feels like he knows how his opponent fights, the dwarf goes on a brutal offensive, using his raw power and speed to catch his opponent off guard. Even his magical affinity for lightning also helps him gain a slight advantage in strictly melee battles.
Strengths:
Tor's balanced roles allow him to easily switch from defensive to offensive roles depending on the situation. His dwarven heritage allows him to tank more hits than the average human, making him incredibly resistant to physical attacks. This is amplified significantly when using his massive shield, which can block most forms of physical and magical projectile attacks. His hammer, Mjölnir The Mighty, is also strong against armored opponents, however it's ability to conjure up lightning attacks makes it even deadlier as lightning can conduct onto most metallic surfaces, effectively shocking the person from the inside. This also makes Tor immune to lightning in general.
Weaknesses:
While Tor is known to be quick and agile, this is true when he's only wielding his warhammer and even then it's only for short rapid bursts to finish the job. Once he starts using his shield, his speed is greatly diminished and he relies on its size and durability to protect him. While he does wear light armor plating, his midriff and lower back are greatly exposed as a consequence for mobility, making it a prime target for faster opponents to take advantage of. In addition, despite his immunity to lightning magic, Tor is otherwise weak to magical attacks in general.
His short stature also hinders him from normally reaching high spaces, in which he'd need assistance in order to get to said places.

Humanity's View:
Outside the Dwarven Kingdom, Tor is essentially a nobody in the grand scheme of humanity. However, since his race is incredibly rare amongst the humans, he is known to gain some curious eyes on him by the local townsfolk, which usually do not mind his presence since he's more human than monster. Yet otherwise, nobody seems to bat an eye for the most part.
Personality:
Tor is an adventurous dwarf, who always puts a merry attitude wherever he goes. In fact, he's always been curious about the world around him. Since he retired from the boring confines of being a stagnant general, having been gloomy and itching for action due to the lack of anything other than battles, the middle-aged dwarf feels free and liberated since boldly leaving the kingdom. He has seen many things during his travels from kingdom to kingdom, from peaceful utopias to harsh realities, all of which he keeps archived in his trusty map. He is also one that loves to retain knowledge, usually on the places he goes and of the creatures he encounters on the way, and is very open in socializing with others, no matter the race. However, he still keeps to his dwarven heritage in some capacity, such as his affection for food and alcohol, as well as the decent ability to forge armors of any material he can get his hands on. He also has the constant itch for battle, always wanting to explore a deep, dark, dungeon or to face a champion of a local arena.
Ik the dwarves exist in Overlord, but I think mostly in the novels and other material outside of the anime? From my understanding, humans are... indifferent to them?
@Lmpkio in the overlord universe they're, if memory serves, quite the rarity. They're a secretive racecin overlord thus far.
From what I've been reading yes, they just do their own thing really, not truly bothering much with the outside world. Well this dwarf says "Fuck this boring shit" and becomes an adventurer.
Now all we need are twelve more dwarves and a midget and we're set :P
Here's the OOC Link a reminder that no one is officially accepted until I say so in the OOC no one has filled out a bio so I have only passed through on character concepts so far.
