[OOC] Pieces of 8: Bones of the North

[Lillian Thorne]

Rain and cold and grey here. I'm missing spring, though my daffodils are almost sunshine enough. That was a lovely post t! Lovely.

Currently staring down the homestretch at the crest of another conquered Wednesday; I'll be diving into a post sometime tomorrow evening (Thursday).

Hello, I'm here to apply! This seems to be a wonderful idea, and if I may be presumptuous, the cast looks rather nice as well.

EDIT: What is the place of of the Judeo-Christian God in this world?.Thinking about a fallen angel sort of thing.

---

-Name: Gabriel “Gabe” Lykis

-Gender: Male

-Type: Former Angel, fallen

-Appearance: Like most angels pegged to the “mortal” world, Gabe bears long scars where his wings used to be. Also like all fallen angels, Gabe has a tiny black dot behind his ear, signaling his impurity. Gabe was once covered with ethereal fur, a huge mane of mist once tailed him as he flew through the damp air of Heaven, propelled by the glory of his majesty. Now Gabe appears as a human, and a rather bland one at that. Since he’s fallen Gabe has given himself a haircut similar to what he had in the eternal void, or as close as he could get with the almost hairless human body he was given.

Gabe

-Age: 19, N/A

-Powers/Traits: Gabe was an excellent marksman in his Majesty’s army, so his ability with a gun is quite vast, and beyond what most people might expect. Gabe is also skilled with swords and maces. Due to his origin as an angel Gabe has super-human strength, speed, reflexes, dexterity, and endurance. Most importantly, Gabe cannot die, and his bones are unbreakable. His skin may be pierced but it heals rather quickly. One would need a weapon created by God himself, and inversely Satan (since the two are one in the same), in order to do away with Gabe, something he feels none too happy about.

-Background: For eternity, or what Gabe perceives as eternity, he served in the dominion of his Majesty, as a vigilant soldier and dutiful servant. He was rather happy in his office, considering he served in the happiest and most perfect realm there ever could be, it probably isn’t too much of a surprise. One day, the big man across the hall beckoned him into his chambers. Gabe was rather distraught when he heard the news, he was to go to earth, pretend to be a truly fallen angel, and assist in any way he could in order to put an end to the menace known as Satan. Gabe did not protest, mostly because he had no freewill with which to do so. An instant later Gabe was on earth, in a tiny apartment somewhere in France. Not too long after he landed did Gabe notice he had freewill, he could do as he pleased. The soft lull which always sang to him in Heaven was no longer there, and Gabe could finally think, say, do anything he wanted. Without the constant influence of his Majesty Gabe’s personality formed itself as it always should of. He was prone to drug use, candid humor, and rash behavior. Gabe did not forsake his God, but he certainly did forget his mission. Gabe’s been having a grand ol’ time on earth as a free man for almost two years now, but he’s been feeling the itch to get back into the fight.

I feel I should throw in my 'I'm still here' voice. I'll post a character sheet at some point. As for whether it be a renewed character or not, I am undecided.

[AmongHeroes]

New Yorker, welcome and thanks for your interest. Limey, well, you know you are of course welcome here. I look forward to seeing what you both come up with for characters.

[Igraine]

Hi there New Yorker - the GM Heroes' character is an incubus, and one of the players is a demonspawn (man with a demon's soul). So yes the demonic is an acceptable character type, but you might wish to look over the still-playing characters if you would prefer to branch out.

[The New Yorker]

Yeah, I was worried about bringing in something too familiar but I also think I can put enough spin on him to make him unique. I am interested, is the Judeo-Christian God all powerful in this world? What about Satan? Is the eternal battle still being waged?

[Derren Krenshaw]

Heroes knows best on that front, though I've always pictured the universe Pieces takes place in as similar to Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid chronicles: Every mythology, fairy tail and supernatural something you can think of are present and accounted for all together.

Though Hearne goes a step further and adds in Middle Earth, Comic book characters and more, but he's a funny guy like that.

No, he's not all powerful. In this universe all gods from any culture and religion you can think of exists and kind of possesses equal influence over the world. In reality it of course makes no sense, but for the purposes of allowing as much diversity in characters and such, it works. If you want your character to have been created in the crucible of the conflict between God and Satan, then go for it. Just be aware that such personal backstory isn't allowed to take over the main RP.

I like to believe that I'm not so vain.

I'll have a CS up soon.

I'd like to say that Heroes' words weren't spoken from hard, sad experience. *sigh* And yet...

Still, very much looking forward to seeing your CS, New Yorker!

[LimeyPanda]

It seems that my indecisive-ness means I'll present the group with two CS'es to choose from.

[Igraine]

Just like last time Panda, you will have to make up your own mind on the character.

[LimeyPanda]

I'll simply be asking for opinions, when I post them.

I'm sure I'll like to hear that story.

CS up.

EDIT: Is the image not working for anyone else?

[fantasyfan28]

I am sorry for my long term unexplained absence. I have had a really hard time with real life issues lately. I will not go into details but needless to say they have taken priority over almost everything else in my day to day schedule at the moment. I understand the need to cull those who have not been around and will therefore withdraw from the Roleplay.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to partake in such a well founded and well run, written and enjoyable R.P. I wish the group all the best and hope for the continuation of the Bain and Hoyle institute for a long time to come.

Oh and if anyone was interested in knowing the song I used in my last post. It is a song called "early one morning".

Thanks once again.

[AmongHeroes]

Fate has its own ideas about when to ruin your best laid plans. I can attest to that, fantasyfan. No worries at all, and the best of luck to you in the future. It was fun to have you with us.

[Lillian Thorne]

Best of Luck Fantasyfan, I wish you well in everything.

Hello there The New Yorker (aka Serge), It is lovely to see you round these parts. I rather like your CS and the image is working fine for me.

Please post just one, Panda - battle the indecisiveness within! This isn't meant to be a discussion like last time.

And very best wishes to you, Fantasy Fan. It was good to have you while we could!
