My sheet is periodically updated when I have time available. Right now I am currently not at home.

Okay, so how is it?

Your friendly neighbourhood WIP

My Hider [+]

Name: Alcello Bas

Sex: Male

Place of Origin: Mennon

Appearance:

Alcello is not an imposing figure at first glance. Standing an few inches short of six foot, and not particularly broad, it would be easy to dismiss the man at first. His common garb of a simple woollen cloak and hood only adds to this effect, by design.

But beneath the hood, Alcello’s face is weathered, scarred and hard-edged. His strong jaw is obscured by a thick beard, the same burnished copper as the rest of his hair, which is kept short. One of his eyes is a burning green, while the other is milky and blind, a long, prominent scar cutting across it. His nose is crooked, his lips rough and rarely curled into a smile.

Under the cloak that he wears, Alcello still wears the lamellar plate of his years as a kestaphos. Although it has been beaten, and even broken in places, leaving long, ugly scars across Alcello’s torso, he has carefully repaired it every time, and can rarely be found out of it.

His left sleeve hangs loose, a brace of chakram’s held within, and his bow and quiver are slung over his shoulder, and his bastard sword strapped across his back.

Psyche: WIP

Skills: Alcello is a skilled warrior, proficient in most forms of combat, both armed and unarmed. Although he has favoured his sword, bow and chakram’s since his hunt began, they are not the only weapons with which he has fought. He is also a skilled rider, although he has come to prefer travelling on foot, save for long journeys, enjoying the greater anonymity that a man on foot can possess.

But it is Alcello’s experience that is his greatest strength. Since he began his hunt, he has travelled to nearly every corner of the cradle, even traversing the Brimlands on several occasions, moving closer to the Deadlands than perhaps any alive could claim. And on his travels he has encountered the foulest creatures that the age of ash could ever birth. Hideous monsters, drawn from the darkest nightmares and made flesh, corrupted souls who call on magic to sate their heinous appetites, Alcello has witnessed them all, and put them all to the sword. There is little evil that roams the Cradle that Alcello has not hunted, and as the rumours of a dark sorcerer continue to spread, his experience may prove vital...

Equipment: A composite recurve bow, a quiver of arrows, a bastard sword, chakram’s.

Bio:

Just to give people an idea of what I'm working on, to stop any potential crossed wires. Let me know of any issues as they appear!

Question: Do you have ideas about capital cities of each county? It might be useful knowledge to lay out.

We can pull the names out of our asses if need be.

After a look at the sheet so far, we feel your char fits better as a Mennonite. The picture you used - lamellar, fur hat/coat, Mongol/steppe-esque is much more evocative of Mennonite culture than Silesian.

This isn't a criticism, but an observation/suggestion. Like Dr Cruiser, we're more than willing to let you play the char you want. Also, have you read the recently updated culture sections in the OP? The changes may inspire alterations to your work, or not. Keep up the progress!

Heh. I think you should. It adds more realism to world and gives a place of note on the map.

Also, I do have personal reasons, concerning my character's bio, with which I'm mostly concerned with Roshad. I have an idea and for that idea, it would be helpful to have a name to put to the place.

I did mention I was making a steppe-influenced character before you guys settled on expanding your lore, which I did state beforehand in request that the lore you expand on not contradict what I was building. This is the exact opposite of that request. I’m not sure if I’m all that pleased about this. Especially since my character definitely does not fit structurally or thematically with Mennon given the whole centerpiece of the character’s concept is not someone who lives in a “feudal system” where a “monarch sits at the head”. My character was derived from Turkic and Hunnic tribes and tribal culture. I did not read the updates since I was busy all Saturday and I am just now getting home to reply to this information.

Perhaps just say your tribe is from southern Mennon, since you aesthetically fit the part already

This is the burden that the descendants of the southernmost tribe of Silesia, a nomadic people that have been among the most prominent among the tribal federation since its inception.

Well

Fuck

I tried to send a PM, but when I clicked send, the page flashed and I don't think it sent. Worse, It deleted everything I was going to say.

Ugh, technology.
