[quote=@RoseKnightJason] [@CollectorOfMyst] [@AliceInRedHeels] are both of you still planning on joining us? It won't take long at all to introduce the two of you in some way once your characters are accepted. You could easily walk in on this scene given the circumstances, or be found in the days before the ship leaves port. (Foreshadowing 😃) [/quote] Still planning on it! I've just had a busy couple of days and have only really had time to plot out the broad strokes of my guy (WIP below if you want a look) [hider=Rory Madden] [center][img]https://i.redd.it/2euvp6r0nxe61.jpg[/img][/center] [color=4682B4][sub]B A S I C S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][indent] [b]Name:[/b] Rory Madden [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Height:[/b] 5'11" [b]Weight:[/b] 165lbs [b]Occupation:[/b] Navigator? [/indent][/indent] [color=4682B4][sub]A P P E A R A N C E[/sub][/color][hr][indent][indent] Tanned skin, sun-bleached hair, lean muscle, a tattoo and a scar or two - Rory's practically a picture of your stereotypical sailor, and blends in well enough in most ports. Perhaps the outstanding part would be the obvious pride he takes in his appearance - he keeps his face clean and the scant hair on his face neatly groomed; his boots are polished and his clothes carefully fixed of any holes. And particular care is taken with his coat - his protection against the wind and rain. It has no particularly special properties, but it is precious to him nonetheless. WIP - Necklace, lightning scar, war paint? [/indent][/indent] [color=4682B4][sub]P E R S O N A L I T Y[/sub][/color][hr][indent][indent] Currently WIP - quiet sort? Serious, for certain. Charming, or stoic? Distrustful of witches using more 'taboo' magic, due to his own past. [/indent][/indent] [color=4682B4][sub]H I S T O R Y[/sub][/color][hr][indent][indent] THE BELOW IS THE BROAD STROKES, NOT THE FINAL WRITE UP [list][*]Comes from Ireland/is of Irish descent. [*]Mother's side of the family is witches; she taught him much of what she knew. Something happened (likely involving his mother's imprisonment or death as a witch, or his father discovering and terrifying him into not using magic) to make him not use magic for most of his life. [*]Tried very hard to live a lawful life - joined the navy. [*]Grew close to another sailor, practically brothers (unrequited//oblivious love? Or too complicated?) [*]Due to a run in with pirates/a storm/another navy, Rory was forced to (didn't know how else to) save his life with magic. [*]His friend turned on him, so he had to flee and is now both a deserter and a witch. And only a few will so willingly take on either. [*]Brings him to now?[/list] [/indent][/indent] [color=4682B4][sub]A B I L I T I E S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][indent] - Can read and write his letters (traditionally rare among sailors); prefers to draw. - Has some degree of physical strength. - Fairly agile, and adept with a cutlass - He [i]can[/i] use a pistol or rifle with some degree of accuracy, but due to his particular brand of magic, he cannot carry them if he intends to cast any spells. - [/indent][/indent] [color=4682B4][sub]M A G I C[/sub][/color][hr][indent][indent] [b]Magic Type:[/b] Tempestarius (storm magic) [b]Basic Effects:[/b] Command over wind, rain, thunder, lightning. Keep away from gunpowder (sparks) - alternatively, direct him towards it. Casting it is almost like dancing? - Can conjure enough wind to fill a sail (extra speed on the ship)? Small rain clouds for fresh water? Or would these be an Advanced spell? [b]Advanced Spells:[/b] [i]Stormcaller[/i] - does as intended. Calls a storm, with all the wind and thunder and danger to ships that it entails. Requires a lot of focus. [i]Wind Step[/i] effectively a 'double jump' because why not. [i]Witchbolt[/i] - lightning attack? [/indent][/indent] [color=4682B4][sub]E Q U I P M E N T[/sub][/color][hr][indent][indent] Fine Coat Cutlass Compass? A journal, filled with sketches and with old entries from his old life. [/indent][/indent] [color=4682B4][sub]O T H E R[/sub][/color][hr][indent][indent] [/indent][/indent] [/hider]
