@Phantomlink959@LightningMaiden@Searat
I encourage second characters if you want to. Mostly I want everyone to do NPCs as necessary.

EDIT: Not satisfied with the version I posted. Running a second character sounded like a good idea earlier but the more I think about it, I'd rather not just yet. Not until I've had time to polish up them up.

I'll see what I can do about 2nd characters, GM.

@Phantomlink959no hurry. Just let me know.

@KatherinWinter I have three characters in storage I can play

Should I mention anyone in my post about Mason and shadow?@KatherinWinter

@Blueflame I don't think it would be necessary. No one else is going to see the interaction. So we will just pretend the information is in a report.

Boss, are elves and the other sub races exist in the world?

@SearatAnything supernatural is available for use.

Might consider making a Dwarf engineer or Elf agent as my second character then.

@LightningMaiden Still waiting on you...

i will be posting tonight

@KatherinWinter Here we go, much happier with this version.

Appearance: A tall and well built man, standing roughly 6'4" and fairly muscular with short, unstyled blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Wears an ankle-length dark blue trench coat with two visible hip pockets and a number of concealed internal pockets and loops for storage of small items. Underneath his coat, Rost wears a black vest over a white long-sleeved button down shirt with a red tie, black slacks, and heavy work boots.

Name: Rost Smith

Age: 38

Species: Human

Powers:
Scrivening: Rost has spent most of his life studying ancient magical arts, with a particular fascination for runes and symbols. Through extensive practice and study of a grimoire dedicated to the subject, he has developed the ability to craft magical runes and enchantments by writing, drawing or engraving specific symbols into objects and creatures with specialized tools and incantations; allowing him to bind magic into them in specific forms.

These runes are powerful and highly versatile, but even slight damage will disrupt their power and undo their effects as the required symbols for runic enchantments are extremely precise. Though runic casting is low in mana consumption, the time it takes to create usable enchantments makes it prohibitively difficult to utilize in combat without advanced preparation, limiting the improvisational usage of the art.

Multilingualism: Fluency in the reading and writing of a number of ancient languages such as celtic, egyptian, and sanskrit.

Runic knowledge: Extensive photographic knowledge of runes, emblems, sigils, and seals; able to identify the origin of nearly any magical symbol, and given time devise countermeasures.

Equipment:
Taurus Judge revolver chambered in .454 Casull
Assorted .454 casull rounds engraved with focal runes to imbue them with arcane, divine, and infernal energy, allowing them to harm creatures resistant to mundane weaponry.
Set of engraving tools (themselves marked with runes of invulnerability, to protect them from damage)
Portable tattoo kit consisting of a battery powered machine and inks made from materials often used in more traditional witchcraft.
Several pairs of cheap, store-bought reading glasses. the lenses have symbols etched around their edges so that, when worn, the bearer can see things outside of normal human perceptions; such as incorporeal spirits.
Magic suppressing handcuffs (His own custom made pair, not the agency standard issue form)

Strengths:
Physical conditioning: Rost is in exceptional physical health as a result of a careful diet and training regiment.
Intellect: Highly intelligent and well educated in both mundane and magical fields.

Weaknesses:

Baseline human: No inherent special properties, he is not resistant to, nor especially weak towards, any elements; and has no special abilities beyond his training in runic magic.

Bio: Rost comes from a family scholars on both sides; those who have for generations sought to unearth and understand the lost secrets of the world. His mother’s side of the family is dominated by simple scientists who merely look for relics of ancient civilization and learn about where they came from. His father’s side of the family, however, has much older roots. Rost is the last and youngest member of a secret society of the occult, one which was founded in the 18th century to bring together the wisest magicians from every magical tradition so they could share knowledge and, as a group, further the study of magic while protecting its secrets from those who would abuse them.

The group dwindled over time, and when his father died Rost inherited what remained of their combined knowledge in the form of a grimoire of runic spells, with teachings from the Persian Magi, Nordic runemeisters, and Egyptian magicians.

Rost kept the secrets of his father’s legacy safe while studying them to keep their arts alive, simultaneously pursuing archeology in his mother’s footsteps to acquire further knowledge of the cultures from which the practices began.

He was recruited by the fledgling BOSA when his mastery of scrivening was discovered, and he came to work under their banner as a crafter of tools specially designed for their unique line of work. In that time, he has largely remained a member of the support staff and only recently acquired his field agent certification.

@KatherinWinter about the three characters ones a reaper ones a robot with two minds (I can change the back story to fit), and ones a vampire.

Argus is like WAY the fuck more enlightened than I originally planned for him to be and I honestly love him having that duality of warrior and philosopher.

We got ourselves a new player!

Gonna be honest, not convinced a giant white lion is the best thing for a secret agency to have in the field. Sorta defeats the point of "Get the job done without drawing attention to yourself"

Like, personally speaking I love characters who let their giant apex predator pets do the fighting for them, but IMHO this isn't the kind of roleplay where it makes sense.

I just realized something.... If I take all the rp I have used shadow in as a timeline, this would be the youngest era of shadow lol

lol well he might not take long to get more.

Yeah lol
