[OOC] Controlled Chaos

[RevCrux]

If this is still open, I'd love to join. I could have a character up by tomorrow.

[ProPro]

@RevCrux By all means, please.

Ionna

Name: Ionna (ee-OH-nuh)
Alias: NA
Race: Centaur
Gender: Female
Age: 20

Appearance: Because Ionna was a wood elf, she only stands at about 6’5” in her centaur form. In comparison to her original four and a half foot stature, Ionna feels like a giant. The skin on her top half has a light brown color which her bottom half matches, with the exception of few white splotches on her legs like that of paint horse. Overall, Ionna is lean with more muscle than most wood elves. Her chest nearly flat and uncovered by any clothing, except a simple necklace, and her hair is dark brown and braided down the center of her head. The only thing Ionna’s tail is the same color as the hair on her head and her hooves resemble ivory.

Personality/Motivation: There is a naivety to Ionna’s curiosity and emotions, which can come across as innocence. Raised like a true wood elf, she is at home in nature and cautious around humans. Her decisions are based less on any long-term plans or thinking, and more on instinct. It’s not that Ionna can’t problem solve, but her thoughts tend to automatically be moment-to-moment like that of an animal. This allows her to be “optimistic” more often than not, and usually undeterred by danger.
She was born a wood elf missing her right arm, but had a normal elvish upbringing filled with stargazing, meadow frolicking, and tricking the occasional traveler. One afternoon Ionna and her friends spotted an old man walking through their forest. On discovering that he had magical powers, they surrounded him and demanded that he help Ionna grow her missing arm. Upset at their threatening behavior, he feigned cooperation and shot a spell at Ionna. When the dust cleared, she had not grown a right arm, but four new horse legs.

Gear: She has a small deerskin pouch across her chest and a short spear slung on her back.
Abilities: Since it takes two arms to operate a bow, Ionna learned how to accurately hurl a spear at an early age. Her hearing is enhanced and most animals are quite passive in her presence.

Flaws: Ionna was never the most coordinated wood elf. Walking in her new body has proven to be no easy task, let alone running which usually results in as much grace as a newborn fawn. And although her long range accuracy is proficient, Ionna can be quickly overwhelmed at close quarters.
Favor: 0

Afro!!

Sorry this took a little while to get up. Let me know if anything needs to be edited.

Looks good! Move it over to the character section, then post your introduction and Crocus will whisk her to the French restaurant on the next update.

Benny Bones

Name: Benedetta “Benny” Bones
Alias: Ben, Agent Skully, OH SHIT I THOUGHT YOU WERE A PROP, Bones, Bonesy
Race: Skeleton
Gender: Technically genderless, being literally all bones, but in life, she was a woman.
Age: She honestly couldn't tell you. She woke up dead one day and lost track of time since.
Appearance: Human skeleton. She prefers to go bare-bones, but will wear whatever she fancies at the moment: jeans, suits, 80s workout leotards with leg warmers, ball gowns, scrubs, tutus, skeleton costumes out of sheer irony…

Being that she has a bad habit of falling to pieces, Benny has tiny carvings in every bone to make matching them up easier. Her right forearm radius was also turned into a flute some time ago (long story short, graverobbers have some strange clientele…), so it especially doesn't always stay put.

Most of her bones are pretty intact despite everything, most of any damage either wear and tear, or battle scars from dogs. She does have a noticeable crack in the back of her skull from one idiot kid trying to play baseball, and tiny pinpricks on either side to wear earrings.
Personality/Motivation: When one has “lurks in closets until someone comes clean,” “that one unearthed body in CSI,” “Yorick from Hamlet ,” “a bowling set,” “xylophone,” “real-life Jack Skellington,” and “part-time Halloween decoration” on their resume, you know they’ve got to be humerus, no bones about it.

Benny doesn’t know why she's up and stalking, just that she found a way to deal with getting up on the wrong side of the grave.

Literally. She woke up dead and a shell of her former self. Having no idea how she got there or how she died, she set about finding answers. And when that failed, she just started making them up.

That's when she found her true calling as an entertainer, and gives a different story to everyone who asks, “So how’d you die?”

“My lover poisoned me. Not on purpose, mind you, but the idiot couldn't cook worth a damn.”

“I sneezed on the minister, and he got sick and died. Haven't been to Salem since.”

“You see, there was this other woman who got a teensy bit upset that I was visited her boyfriend for the weekend. Pretty sure she wished it was her own funeral when she learned how his sister so tragically fell out the window.”

Benny's goal in life is to be entertaining, because it beats moping about having no body to do anything with.
Gear: Benny never has anything unless it’s part of an outfit she’s wearing, like a scythe for a grim reaper costume. Speaking of, that's a real hit at funerals!
Abilities: She can take herself apart and reconfigure her bones to be something useful. She's always willing to lend a hand or two, provided she gets them back.
Flaws: She’s pretty hard-headed at times, likes to have a bone to pick, and will probably fall to pieces at inopportune times and need some help pulling herself together.
Favor: Start at 0. This will keep track of your Favor with Crocus. When you are in the god’s Favor, he’ll do you favors. Use it to purchase items, power ups, or any what-have-you.

I... I just... I don't even... So many puns. The puns are everywhere! I CANNOT ESCAPE THE PUNS!

So other than the fact that this would make 2 undead and officially 3/4 characters based in fantasy (and I would like more variety in this game), I don't have any bone of contention with this. Feel free to add Benny to the character section, then throw up an introduction post in her native environment from which to be whisked away by Crocus.

[Stekkmen]

after seeing what the RP is about, i think a giant robot super soldier would have been better after all XD

@ProPro

Did I break your funny bone? A little boneheaded of me. Hope I didn't give you a bad femur.

Working on it. Though, even before I saw the "no canons" rule, I debated Mike or Jeremy. Then again, their "canon" is literally just their names on a piece of paper, so loophole...?

In seriousness, if I think of someone else, I'll let you know, and keep those guidelines in mind. XP

[ProPro]

@LePouvantail Not true! Their canon is not just a name on a piece of paper! We also know Mike has blue eyes! :P

@ProPro

Details, details.

[ProPro]

@Stern Algorithm you actually have a great segue for my introduction of one of our next characters. :D

[LePouvantail]

Sorry to hold things up a bit, but I won't be able to post until tomorrow.

[LePouvantail]

There. Took longer than I meant, but I got stuck.

[ProPro]

@Stekkmen@Stern Algorithm If you're waiting for the other new guy to post, I wouldn't bother. Looking at the post count and total days since joining the site, not to mention the "last active on," I don't foresee them following through anytime soon. If you're not waiting on the new guy, then I am very sad you haven't posted and shall now go cry in the corner.

[LePouvantail]

@Stekkmen I love how Benny and Bruno already like each other for the wrong reasons. XD Benny's all, "Hey, friend! Gonna make you laugh! :D" and Bruno's all, "Comrade! We fight at dawn!"

[Stekkmen]

@LePouvantail
completely different contexts of the word "undead" in both of their worlds

shenanigans inbound, i imagine

[ProPro]

Next update will actually have plot info, by the by.

[Stern Algorithm]

I'll get a post up tomorrow.

[ProPro]

@Stern Algorithm@Stekkmen@LePouvantail And our first adventure is up! Woohoo! Have at it, guys. 8-)

[LePouvantail]

Wooo! I get to shoot first!
