So finally got a post up, sorry that took so long. I promise that it won't take as long next time. So I've been thinking, would you all prefer to quick travel to the mountain (not RP all the bit in between the tavern and the mountain), or actually do it all? Or a mix of both? It's up to you, @Azereiah, @dereken, @Nerevarine.

Also, what do you think of the idea of madness/illness/fear/things like that. Events that act as writing prompts and have effects on the character, such as making them ill, that little bit madder, etc, that means that you can RP in different states of mind. Or you could have a reason why it doesn't have an effect on your character, which would add a bit of variation in how characters react to situations. This is just the base of an idea, but it could spice things up a little bit you know?

So yeah, these things are up to you. Oh, and if you have any ideas such as that for the RP let me know...

Appearance: As an Ulitharid, Marith stands nine feet tall


Name: Masrith

Race: Ulitharid. They are a more powerful sub race of Illithid.

Personality: Masrith is a pretty cold an logical individual. His actions have no concern for the feelings or emotions of others and only really seeks to better himself and his race. He lacks basic understanding on the concept of above world morality because he is a race from a place called the under dark. He isn't one to start fights and prefers to simply observe things and learn from others mistakes. He has a harsh and more spiteful temperament however. He is extremely observant and intelligent individual. He has a certain hatred toward magic as it is banned in his society and fears the insane undead as they pose a very viable threat to his people.

Background: As an Ulitharid. Masrith started off as nothing more as a tadpole waiting to undergo the process of Ceremorphosis. After burrowing into the brain of his host and replacing it. His body developed into that of an Ulitharid. Making him far greater physically and with mental prowess against his Illithid brothers. He was granted a higher status because of this and lived as a noble. Masrith always sought to benefit and improve himself over others and was not considered a kind individual. Living a life with two mentally dominated slaves kind of does that. He always sought the better of his species and only ever followed the laws set by the elder brain. Occasionally trading with other races of the under dark and going to the surface to collect more slaves for their society. It however, wasn't a life full of adventure until the rise of the mountain. The curse began to spread and it was quite shocking. The curse didn't effect them as their minds are absorbed by elder brain anyway. However, This did leave a problem for them. The rapid increasing of undead posed a threat as undead have a good resistance to to mind control. The ones with the mind intact can still be tamed but those with a hollow mind are completely immune to mind control. The society immediately saw this as emergency matter and sought a way to the end the threat. The elder brain and other Ulitharids conversed to discuss a course of action. They decided that it would be best to aid the other above races to destroy this curse and sent several parties to the surface. Masrith was a member of one such group. His people don't have a good rep with humans and others and were rejected. They sought to search for answers on their own but were ambushed by insane undead leaving Masrith separated from his party. Masrith does not know his way above ground however and doesn't know his way home and thus travels alone to seek answers to stop the curse.

Abilities:
Please note that his mind effecting abilites do not work on insane undead. Sane undead have a good natural resistance to it and strong willed individuals can resist them as well.

Masrith has physical strength, speed, reflexes, and stamina that out class a human and rival orcs in physical stature. He also is a skilled combatant in hand to hand combat and is capable of disarming foes efficiently. He however has no idea how to effectively use a sword, spear, or even knives in combat.

Darkvision: Can see perfectly clear in complete darkness.

Psion: As a Ulitharid, his most powerful trait is his mind. He is cable of reading minds and dominating the minds of others, though only two at a time.

Mind blast: attacks an opponents mind with a blast of psionic energy. Can kill if enough energy is charged but normally feels like a really hard punch.

Psionic shield: Can create a shield of psionic energy to protect him.

Hive mind: Masrith can link the minds of his allies to better communicate and plan while in or out of combat.

Translate: He can mentally communicate with any creature that knows any language.

Augment: Masrith can psionically augment his body to better himself physically. He can also use this to heal himself and others. This can't regenerate lost limbs or cure disease and poison but can stabilize a fatal wound. He can also use this to sustain his body from sleep and eating for 3 days.

Dominate: Masrith can forcefully dominate the mind of an strong willed individual but it takes two uninterrupted hours of focus. The individual most also be present within a 5 foot radius.

Constant use and strain of his psionic abilities can cause extreme head aches if not careful and can even cause hallucinations. In extreme cases, it can even cause him to become mentally unstable for a short time.

Equipment: Leather pants braced with steel leggings. A back pack to carry supplies. Steel gauntlets thick enoughb to allow him to catch straight swords and knives in combat. They could technically stop a claymore sword but the force would break his hand.

All seers eye: It is an eye patch that allows him to read and understand any written language. It also does not hinder his sight.

Other: like other ulitharids, he does have the potential to strengthen his mond to be able to open dimensional gates. He cant do it. That is just an example of how powerful their minds can become.

@BKburke Hey there, and welcome to the RP (hopefully)! Ok so wow, getting right ahead with a character sheet. It looks really great, however there is one thing that I'm a little concerned about. He seems like a potentially very strong character, which at first we don't want. My only problem is that as well as having psionic abilities he is also tougher, stronger and faster than most humans. I would suggest looking at the abilities of the accepted characters and perhaps cutting down on quite a bit of the stuff you've got at the moment. Oh also, I have no problem with the healing (well, only a little one...) however would it be possible to put a limit on that or something that means that it is not able to be used often/has a negative effect on the user.
I'm really sorry for any inconveniences and it's really really great to have you interested. Plus, Masrith sounds like a really awesome character and I love the race idea. Perhaps the sheet as it is, is what you could aim to develop your character into by the end of the RP? Again I'm really sorry, and I hope it isn't too much of a hassle.

It's fine. To put details on it, I will specify that the psionic healing can't give back lost limbs or cure any kind of diseases. Poison also isn't really effected by it. It could be used to stabilize fatal wounds but not full on heal them. I'll specify that with editing. As far as his physical abilities, I put that because that's how they are in dnd. I can take away the dense skin and such. For a clear perspective, the physically are equal to orcs. Would that be ok? If there are certain abilities would like for me to specifically get ride of or state negative effects of then feel free to let me know. Looking back I should have detailed the abilities better.

I will say I stated some of the abilities to show what kind of potential he has. I didn't consider confusion so I apologize.

@BKburke Ok that sounds great, about the healing, so long as it isn't used too often! It would be great if you could make his abilities either limited to good physical or good mental/mind magic types thing. Or a medium in between both. Or if you wanted to add limits onto some abilities (though there would have to be a few limits.) Hope this is ok, but otherwise yeah it's sounding good good.

@BKburke Be careful not to play him overpowered when fighting against enemies, compared to the others (we're trying to keep them all roughly equal, although they'll all be better in different things). If you do, then I'll just give you a quick reminder... But that goes for everybody! So yes, accepted, go ahead and add the sheet to the character tab. Oh, and feel free to post in the RP whenever you're ready.

@dereken Ah no I hope not! Sorry, it's been a hectic year week and all so I didn't have a chance to reply.... and when I did I totally forgot to.
I'm... not entirely sure what's happened to Nerevarine or Azeriah, so I'm thinking of tagging everybody in a post just to see what's up with people.
And just as we got to the exciting bit! In fact seeing as we recently got two new people, I was hoping this was on the uprise, but... We'll see what happens (and if it dies it dies, sadly)...

@dereken I just hope I'm not being too optimistic... Just as a note, I won't be able to post until Monday, but hopefully the others will start making appearances. And just when it started getting exciting, too! Your post was great, by the way. It'll definitely make things interesting if things start to pick up around here.

Ok so my plan is to tag everyone to see what's up. So here goes:
@BKburke (Actually you've posted recently... But you know I'll just give a little prod to remind you this is a thing (hopefully))
@Azereiah
@Nerevarine
Where are you guys, what's happening? Are you bailing on this?

@dereken @BKburke Well, I've posted finally. I'm not sure what's happening with the others, they seem to have bailed. So I'm thinking that there are two options, and it's up to both of you. We could just give up on this and let it die, or we could keep it going with just the three of us and the hope that maybe some people will come back. If this helps, In about a weeks time I'm going to be able to start posting much more frequently.
But anyway, just let me know what you both want to do.

I'm not willing to give up. Why not try bumping the interest check? Say like 'Hey, this thing is recently open, why not join in?'
