I'm in the process, just reading through the other characters to make sure I don't make a copycat.

*nods* Appreciated, but there will be place for people filling similar roles if that ends up being the case, fear not.

I theorize a messy end for this party, when one of the various Pure blooded characters cuts themselves shaving and attracts every Vampire and Werewolf in a fifty mile radius.

I'd like to replace Erwin with this:

James

Character
Name:
James Schatten

Age:
32

Race:
Human

Sex:
Male

Appearance:


[art by me]

Homeland:
Kingdom of Renalta

History:
James Schatten had no hardships growing up. He was a child during the rise of Renalta, a time that his family financially flourished in. His family members own businesses in a variety of professions. Bakeries, pubs, stone masons and smiths; the family could start its own settlement if it chose to even to this day. His father still owns the bakery that James grew up working in with the family.
The only complications that ever came into James’ life was his own doing. He’s always had some sort of infatuation about sneaking about and sticking his nose into buildings and high places he shouldn’t be in. As he started coming across more interesting places, he started his career as a thief. He didn’t need the money from trading his loot, and his family certainly did not, but the adrenaline of the moment is what kept him hooked.
At first, he would always get caught. Even though he’d manage to get away whenever this would happen, somehow his father would always find out. And so James would be punished..until he was never caught again.
Through time and time again of getting caught pickpocketing, sneaking around homes and off-limit buildings he had refined his ability to walk around without being seen in plain sight. Getting the crap beat out of him by his parents when they’d find out what new activity he’s done taught him not to get caught.
This later transferred over to when he was an adult. James refined his skills to the point where he could tell everyone he walked across that he never stole a coin from a in years. He kept up his act until he became a ranger for the Kingdom, where he served as an apprentice for seven years. He then was a Ranger for six years. During this time, he combined what he learned growing up with the skills he gained from his service.
When James was on temporary leave as a ranger, he moved on from his old tactics. Although he still worked with his family, he would sometimes go off “camping,” to put it in his own words. James used his skills to steal from bandits and highwaymen. He would go on stakeouts for them, always avoiding fights by keeping a distance. The only thing getting close to those fools was James’ arrows to their necks and chests.
A few days before he was invited to the Queen’s Blades, James decided to go sneaking around for the sake of nostalgia. He was poking around the home of a lord when he found a very nice cloak. He thought it looked much better than his old uniform cloak, and so he took it. It was after he put it on that James learned that he was wearing it the wrong way, and when he reversed it something wonderful happened. The cloak had turned him invisible!
James spent a long time looking in the mirror playing with the cloak. Far too much time, for the next thing he heard was the lord whose house he broke into yelling at him to return the cloak at once. The man fled the lord’s home as stealthily as he could, which was comparable to an ogre’s attractiveness. There was a lot of crashing and shattering, but that was mostly the lord trying to bash James’ head in as he waited for his guards.
James managed to get away though. A painting managed to bang the lord’s head good enough to knock him out, allowing James to leave before the guards arrived.
The following morning, the lord had given his statement to the authorities and they were on the lookout for James. Not specifically James himself but by the words of the lord which were, “a jerk with a goatee.” It was two days after this that the James was invited to join the Queen’s Blades. The choice was easy for him considering the lord he took that damn cloak from was starting to remember more about James’ appearance.

Motivation:
To avoid the lord he stole from.

Personal

Romance: Doesnt matter to me so as long as I'm not writing anything pornographic (kissing is green light, it's not awkward to write). Keeping the romance option leaves room for more plot development anyways.

Play style: I enjoy action, but also careful planning. So as long as it's a challenging task, I'll have no issues.

Does the Kouri Plushie exist?: Yes?

Signature: He +2

I'm really just waiting for the the party of clean bloods that just goes missing and so we send another party... of clean bloods, which goes missing... and we can probably afford to do this three times before the impure ones are finally sent and are forced to fight 8 players who have a mixed bag of Vampirisim or lycanthropy infected former allies, one of which is an ogre.

Edit: And I just broke the golden rule of any RP, never give the GM Ideas.

[Icarus]

I like this Heisenberg fella. Makes intelligent trait choices and everything.

Don't worry Kalico I'm too sure there's far worse in store for us than vampires. That was original voyage stuff. Sequels step it up. Always.

Can I like this post somehow?

[Jorick]

On the subject of Clean Blood, remember that there's a mention that creatures other than vampires and lycans will view them as tasty treats. I figure that in a world beset by creatures straight out of the Nine Hells, blood suckers and wolfmen will be the least of our worries. Who knows want manner of horrors they'll attract to cause numerous deaths among the player characters?

That'll do for me.

I'm seeing despite my lack of Clean Blood that I may well be a major target.

[Hank]

Go on then, lycans and vampires and demons. Try to drink from the ogre. I dare you.

[Kadaeux]

Oh Kalic.

You should know that we GMs have much much worse ideas.....

I had one involving a salmon, a black bear, seventeen buckets, twenty two kobolds and a somewhat blunt spoon.

beware.

BEWARE!

[Maxim]

Wow, this looks...really cool. I'm definitely interested.

Now where to start...

The most horrifying part of that is the blunt spoon.

I am sensing a great ally or a great rival.

Question how long was he in the rangers?
