[OOC] Blood Debt (Medieval/Fantasy, Rangers)

[R31GN]

I'm gonna have to agree with NickTrano. Hell, if I weren't so lazy, I'd have done that myself. Good on ya, Gunther

[NickTrano]

Figure I should put out that my Skype name is nick.trano , for when y'all want to start working on the conversation they're going to have.

[R31GN]

Oh yeah I should probably re-download Skype. I'm about 12% sure my Skype name is hi.dad50
Maybe.
Probably.
Try that one first.
EDIT: Yep, it's hi.dad50

[Gunther]

Loden Grimm is submitted for your review.

[NickTrano]

He seems cool. I like what you did weaving the histories together.

[Gunther]

I read each of the Character Sheets posted ahead of mine and tried to relate my character and his perceptions to each of yours. The only one he could potentially have a conflict with is NickTrano's Verrick Tuldar, but both Rangers are as of yet unaware of this potential. Do you believe I have a good feel for each of your characters as I have written Loden's perceptions of them?

[NickTrano]

I think so. Varrick's a bit of a prick, although he's grown up.

EDIT: By the way, whatever image you picked to show Loden doesn't load. At least, not for me. Just shows a site logo with a bunch of characters. The Chinese kind, not the cartoon kind.

EDIT EDIT: Forget it, works now.

[R31GN]

@Gunther Yeah, as far as Grey goes, you nailed it.

[NickTrano]

Now we just get to wait and see how many of us coincidentally wander into the same tavern on the same night!

[HeySeuss]

@Gunther Looks good to go. Looks like we have a mix of different types going on there, which is always a good thing -- the differences count.

[Naril]

Almost done! For real, this time. :3

[AirBender]

@Gunther Yup, everything looks good. Though Ashira isn't just sad when one of her siblings leaves, she cries her eyes out.

You guys better be prepared for a lot of tears coming from Ashira in these early posts. There's a lot of guilt and grief assaulting her right now.

[Gunther]

I think so. Varrick's a bit of a prick, although he's grown up.

EDIT EDIT: Forget it, works now.

@NickTrano

So maybe Loden and Varrick will console any differences they may have had as teens, but that other issue has not come to light yet.

I noticed the Chinese characters on the original gif. So, I clipped it, posted it to MSPaint and loaded on Imgur in order to clean it up.

[AirBender]

The second after I posted, I realized I forgot to tag everybody. Sorry about that... I'm not used to doing so.

[NickTrano]

That's why God made the edit button. :P

[AirBender]

@NickTrano As far as I'm aware, it doesn't tag the person if you add their mentions in post edits.

But yes, the edit button is a very wonderful thing.

[R31GN]

I learned the hard way that you can't edit pings in. Ripperino in pepperino

[POOHEAD189]

@AirBenderIt's ok!

@R31GNI just make a new post, click the mention button, then copy paste. I believe it still works. Then again, I might just be stupid.

[Naril]

Well, there we go. It's a little more stream-of-consciousness than I usually write, and I'll probably edit some more later, but the most important pieces are there. :3

@Heyseuss

So a proposed antagonist below- since this is a little out there I just wanted to float the idea before filling in the history too much. Basically, a necromancer/mercenary captain hired by the King, he may have been the one to kill Brand, or at least been present at his death. Let me know if this works- if not, no sweat. Criticism and thoughts welcome from everyone of course. Also, happy to work out past history with anyone if this guy passes GM muster.

A Villain

The campaign of Harold, leading an army that included monstrous troops and dark magic users, was successful but left bodies and burned towns strewn about its wake. But, in the end, Harold had what he wanted; Baron William on a cross alongside the other leaders of the Barons' Revolt.

Name: Veredict Daigon, Captain of the Red Fangs mercenary company
Alias: Butcher of Green River
Age: 57
Gender: M
Species: Human

Physical Description:

Thickset man of average height, with the pale complexion of a Northerner. He is usually clad in dark leather armor and a black, travel-worn cloak. Balding, with a nose crooked from repeated breaks and cheeks scarred with the telltale pockmarks of a Plague survivor, Daigon boasts a luxuriant black mustache, a bright smile of white (false ivory) teeth, and arresting green eyes.

Skillset:

A good-enough swordsman, solid brawler and a capable tactician and commander, Daigon's real skill set lies in the dark arts. It is rumored he can commune with restless spirits, with spectres and devils, and even summon the shades of the damned to do his bidding. Whatever the truth of this, Daigon has a reputation as a dangerous sorcerer, and deftly uses the fear this reputation inspires to keep underlings in line and employers intimidated.

History: WIP

Psychological Profile:

Witty and unflappable, with a taste for liquor and homespun anecdotes, Daigon is not without certain charm, often affecting bemused detachment to events unfolding around him. Behind the good humored mask is a chilly, manipulative intelligence, bent only on the increase of his arcane knowledge and might, a goal for which he is willing to sacrifice anyone and anything. Pragmatic, he is no gratuitous sadist, unlike many of the lunatic sellswords in King Harold's army.

Equipment:

• Red Fangs: a mercenary band of roughly ~1,500 men at arms from the North, the Fangs include savage orcs and beastkin in their ranks, and have a reputation for being savage marauders and solid heavy infantry.
• One handed scimitar.
• Iron buckler
• a deck of Seer's Cards (tarot deck)
• dented flask
• several daggers, including a black glass blade from the Haunted City
• small, pocket sized grimoire, bound in black leather. The journal of the fabled necromancer Vagz the Terror.

Yes, and: WIP
