[OOC] [OPEN AND ACCEPTING] HALT! Life of the City Guard.

[Heyitsjiwon]

Makes sense. Will go ahead and make those changes. What about the magic part? Still a no go on the illusion magic?

[Hellis]

You can use illusion magic. I never said oyu couldn't. I just don't feel it would be that innate. Succubi is more about planting suggestions and manipulate emotions and lust in my eyes.

Updated the appearence for you @hellis

[Greenie]

I hope you're still accepting characters because this looks like an awesome roleplay!

@Deserted

YOu are gonna have to work a whole lot more on that profile. AS it is, it's far to barebone. I use these gauge your writing standards. SO be descriptive and expand on everything.

[POOHEAD189]

@HellisWhen does this game start my good man? I will have time to character create in a few days.

[Hellis]

Well. I am still waiting for a whole bunch of charachter sheets to be finished. YOu have time my friend.

[Deserted]

@Hellis Dude, nobody here are mind readers. You asked for a character sheet, didn't say where you want it, drop out of communication for a while, and then command people to do it your way.
Now, I make character sheets concise for quick reference. You mentioned nothing about a writing sample and have just assumed that everybody does things your way.

You also shut down Heyitsjiwon even though in your own rules you establish "you don't have to pick any of the examples. I have not defined the world much outisde the citys closest vicinity for a reason!" Implying that we are free to be as creative as we like. Yet, you seem to have some preconception of what you expect since you are correcting those who wander off the path you prefer.

So, I will let you figure things out and how to communicate it, but I'm not going to do a bunch of work in hopes that I somehow hit the jackpot of what you have in mind. Please communicate to us what you expect and stick to it. THEN we will be able to give you what you are looking for.

@Hellis

Thanks for the welcome! I'll probably have my sheet up in a few hours, tonight tops.

[Hellis]

@Deserted

I have PM'd you. I do not approve of people attacking me in my own RP over something so fundemental as Charachter critique. I consider it grandstanding and I've seen RP's get derailed by that kind of behavior. If you have such a obvious gripe with how GM runs his RP, I suggest taking it private in the future.

[Hellis]

@Greenie

Glad to hear it! Excited to see what you got.

[Greenie]

Here's my character sheet! ^_^ The skills section is a little sparse but if need be I'll add in more. Same for any other sections.

*****



Name: Meg

Race: Human

Appearance: She is around 5'3 and weighs about 120 lbs. Her eyes are a grape green. She has a couple of vertical scars on her left cheek, and more scars on her stomach from various injuries. She wears an olive green tunic and darker green trousers that reach about knee length. She usually walks around bare feet.

Age: 27

Former Proffesion: Pick pocket, street rat, petty thief, errand runner

Skill: Meg is actually quite good at navigating through the city, seeing she has lived on the streets her whole life. She is sneaky enough to keep out of important people's eyes, and is something of an eavesdropper as well. She is quite good with children, teaching them and taking care of them as well.

Personality: Meg's personality is rather varied. For the most part, she's a calm and collected sort, friendly on the outside but paranoid on the inside. She won't automatically think the worst of someone, but she won't put it past anyone to be a darker grey on the morality scale. Sometimes she may be blunt and to the point, other times she may sugar coat things. She has a soft spot for those who are less fortunate, and may even be a bit of a mother hen at times.

She is somewhat of a tomboy, using whatever she can in a fight, be it rocks, sand to the eyes, yanking someone's mustache... a dirty fighter, all in all. Yet she still seems to have a girly side to her, admiring the prettier things in life, occasionally cooing over cute things, old people holding hands, believing she will one day find the (not so) perfect man!... that sort of thing.

All in all, her personality wholly depends on who she's around and what mood she may be in at the time.

History: Meg's birth was nothing too epic. Her father was a guard who would often visit a tavern before going home to rest. Her mother was a bar maid at that particular tavern. Now, it wasn't like the relationship was a one night's stand; Meg's parents did in fact love each other. However, in a world like theirs, it wasn't a surprise that her father died during a surprise attack one night. Meg was still to be born at that time. Having fallen into depression, her mother was rather sickly by the time Meg was born, and she only lived about a year after giving birth.

The tavern owner had no time to take care of a baby; he had his own troubles. So, one night he simply left her in an alley away from his establishment, sneaking off before anyone could catch him. The little baby was found by a couple of street rats who decided to 'raise her' the best they could. It was a little like having a living and breathing doll for them. She was old enough to eat, not that she had much of a choice in the matter, seeing there was not much milk around. The trio survived on pieces of bread, old fruit, the occasional stolen milk, and water.

As such, Meg grew up in rather dingy streets, living off what she found, and eventually becoming a pickpocket as well as someone who stole from unattended houses and shops. As a child, she didn't really see what was wrong with it. She was hungry, there was food, no one was eating it. Why couldn't she have any? It made complete sense to her.

Teenager Meg was was a little more morally inclined, having learned the hard way that people didn't really like it when you stole from them. She would now only go after those who seemed rich and pompous. It was during this time when she learned to use a slingshot as well as finding herself a boomerang. She also tended to help out other street rats like herself.

As she grew older, the thievery seemed to have dwindled to only occasionally as Meg started doing odd jobs, making enough money to feed herself an anyone she was currently taking care of. Now older and somewhat more mature, she was looking at the world with much different eyes than she used to as a child or even a teenager. It also made her think of change. She was used to living as she was, it was something she doubted she could change now. But what if she could be something even more?

And from there came the idea of joining the city guard.

Character Sheet

Name: Boomy

Race: Goblin

Appearance:
Also has a dagger one his left side and a bag of "fun stuff" (chems, random bits of ores, poisons, a bit of food) on his right. His gear was taken from children and halflings, generally stolen because it's easier than actually fighting them.

Age: 25

Former Profession: Goblin Boom-Mage (Magic's fine, but with chemistry it can be better)

Skill: He good at breaking stuff and better at blowing it up. He seems to have a knack for finding weaknesses in his targets, and always aims for the enemy's weak point in a fight, leading to him having a reputation as a dirty fighter. He learned enough magic from his uncle to control and sense energy, mainly fire, lightning, and raw magical energy, but the only actual spells he can cast are fire and weak lightning spells. He has a decent knowledge of chemistry, mainly explosives, and medicine, mainly poisons.

Personality: He likes causing mayhem. He likes being the one that comes out on top after it even better.

History: He was born into the Tribe "Boarslayers" to an unnammed female, son of the chief's dead son, a goblin by the name of Elf-blood. As the nephew of a mage, the chief's-son Flash, he was taught many things from a young age, things that would confuse the stupider goblins in the tribe. Of the ones that could learn magic, he was the best with magic, save his uncle, and was one of the three that survived the basic magic training. His uncle told them to chose a type of magic to study. He chose fire, one of the others chose poison, and a third, a female that he was convinced his uncle only trained so that she would bear him a son, chose healing. They were sent out to gather things for their craft. He returned with a bag of Dwarven boom powder. The poisoner returned with nightshade and other poisonous plants. The healer returned with medicines she stole from a Druid that lived in the woods nearby.
Flash ordered them to use what they gathered to make their magic better. Boomy blew himself into a wall. The healer cured his burns and concussion. The poisoner created a cloud of poison. The healer couldn't fix that yet. Boomy earned his name, the healer earned the name Fixer, and the stupid poisoner was roasted with a nice sauce.
After he got over what Fixer assumed was food poisoning from eating the undercooked poisoner, he came to the city (which one was it again?) to continue his studies. That was three years ago. There were many fun things to steal and many burnable things for even more fun. For a while he had a nice room off the side of the sewers and would go out and "forage" and have fun with the other goblins in the area from time to time. Then, about a month ago, one of the guards caught him trying to light a warehouse full of fireworks in a better part of the city (luckily it had rained the night before) and gave him the opportunity to work as a guard or work as a miner. He chose guard.
It's fun. He gets to hurt people and gets paid to do it. Too bad they have to break the rules first or this job would be much more fun.

[Hellis]

That is a exellent start. Could you expand his back story a bit? GGive us a little more about him. How did he become a boom mage. Expand and detail it a bit. A little description to with the picture would be nice to.

@Hellis

Yay thanks! Should I post it in the Character thread? Sorry still getting used to how things work here. ^_^

[Hellis]

Yes. Since you are accepted @Greenie you may post in the Charachter tap. ^^

[TheUnknowable]

@Hellisfixed it.

[Hellis]

@TheUnknowable

See the PM I sent you ^^. I cleaned up the formatting for you a bit. It looks good to me. I really like the tone it conveys. The poisoner getting eaten really made me chuckled. Sounds like a mighty bda choice of food, on account of the poison and all!
