[OOC] Knighthood (Closed)

[Themerlinhawk]

@Blueflamekeep in mind Demons aren't traditional judo Christian demons and demons are not a player character race. They are NPC only because they are bound to the whims of gods. Specifically the dark six.

[Blueflame]

@Themerlinhawk true but I mean he wasn't originally a demon he was a elf and those powers were forced upon him changing his body when he was tricked by Erebus (the olden Greek god of shadow and dark) cursing him ,to the day he takes his last breath, a shadow. He doesn't follow any god he remembers being tricked by one. he has no memories past waking up a shadow and being cursed. he is now an assassin. (that's the gist of it

[Blueflame]

@Themerlinhawkwould that work?

[Themerlinhawk]

@Blueflameso not a demon, just a cursed fae. That works but I don't have a god named Erebus. I have a list of the gods of Galendar and stygia in the codec section. Though it might be the effect of a Binder's curse. That would be sufficiently powerful to effect one of the Fair folk. And it would allow for the binder to be portrait as a powerful being of shadow. He'll you could even call him Erebus and that would be fine. Just keep in mind that Binders aren't gods

[Blueflame]

@Themerlinhawkhmmm ok ill have to look through that again and change things. well Ill get to that

[Themerlinhawk]

@Blueflamethat your time. I know the Codex is quite large

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Themerlinhawk Can I just ask you to check out my character sheet? It's on the last page, and I need some help finishing it up.

[Themerlinhawk]

@CollectorOfMyst

Okay so as far as I can tell it is looking good.

His Will is going to be largely dependent on his race and magic. I typically recommend Unnatural Will for non magic characters, Potent for magic blend characters and Greater for Magic dependent. Though there are plenty of reasons for using other measuring guides for Will IE, they are an Elder Sidhe or something like that.

As an extension of this you need to make a decision about if you want him to use magic or not. We have seen strictly tech characters in the past they work just fine. *Eyes MR*

As for a God you don't have to have one but If you want a recommendation, Check out Orcorum, Qtelneick, or Xandrius. In theory you could check out one of the members of the Twilight Council but that is a dangerous road since tensions between the descendants of Stygian colonials are...not looked upon favorably. So the Twilight Cults can be problematic

[Themerlinhawk]

@Smystar99@Monochromatic Rainbow@CollectorOfMyst@BellBottomBlues Really quick check on progress with everyone. I'm going to put up another Interest check in the advanced section since I'd like maybe a few more people. We'll see how things go but I figured I'd take a head count first

[Smystar99]

@Themerlinhawk I'll try to get a form out tonight~

[Smystar99]

Crimson Sparrow

Name: Crimson Sparrow (Birth name: May Amelia Sparrow)

Alias/Nickname: Bloody Crescent

Rank: Paladin of Assassination

Appearance:

Assassination Appearance

Every Day Appearance

Age: 225

Race: Human/Elven

Personality:
When others see Crimson they immediately try to look like they haven`t seen her. She is cold and methodical in outward appearance. The look of someone who has killed more than they should, a numbness that reaches the eyes. It isn`t a wonder as to why people find her intimidating. She is a master of a dark craft that not many understand.

In all honesty she is different to those who know her. The things she`s done has shaped her as a being but they have only made her choose those she truly trusts wisely. Those that know her know that she cracks ill humored jokes randomly when not on duty and that she cares for others in her own way. Assassination has not made her into an emotionless corpse that just takes commands. Those she chooses to take under her wing are cared for to the best of her ability, but they must earn her respect as she must earn theirs.

Respect isn`t just handed out by her. It`s through actions that someone may get her respect. Words are meaningless and cheap in comparison to the actions one does. If someone were to yell at her with the foulest of words she wouldn`t bat an eyelash. They won`t make her bow even if they were to try and force her. She is observative of those around her. Their character is most important. That being said she`s been known for making enemies for her stubbornness. The connection between her brain and her mouth is very loose with this one. Even higher superiors have just gotten used to the way she speaks, because in the end she only says what she finds true. There isn`t any going around the bush.

Biography/history:
Crimson was found by a member of the Tower of Stars around when she turned 186. They found her beaten and weak, a state that is unthinkable for her, in a compound. Everyone around her was dead, humans and elves alike. Being the sole survivor and she never told a soul as to what happened to anyone else. They recruited her after she was done with recovery. She told them she was an assassin, immediately they all questioned if she killed everyone, to that she answered “No”. No further elaboration was ever given.
While rebuilding her body through self physical therapy, she showed just how well of an assassin she really was. It was unquestionable why she climbed the ranks through pure determination. It took her less time than most to secure her position as Paladin of Assassination. While her history is a mystery, she makes up for it with her resolve and hard working nature. There is never a doubt that she would do everything in her power to save someone on the battle field.

As for her past, she was born to a male elf and a human mother. The two of which were never meant to be wed, but had been anyway. That was their biggest achievement and worst mistake. Past the race of her parents she does not say much about them. For someone who was born to such conflicting races it was difficult as to how she even ended up in the Tower of Stars. In Elven culture she was a sin, to human beings she was a monster. Most half bloods like her are killed or hidden away.

In her travels since joining the Tower of Stars she acquired a bit of unique technology. Technology was combined with her sight to produce a way of observation far beyond her own instincts even.

Reason for recruitment: She has nowhere else that she belongs, so why not here?

Strength of Will: Potent

Magic:
Light Magic-
Shadow Affiliation- While not strong in magic she is able to alter light to hide her in plain sight from the naked eye. This works the most affectively when in darkness but can be done slightly in daylight.

Multiplying Effect- Using the technology in her head with the natural magic carried through due to her elven blood she can actually cause an illusion of multiples. It mostly is herself, using the same light manipulation to make it seem like she is many places in a room or area at once.

God relations: Is thought to be a relative of the goddess Pax, the goddess of peace.

Tech: An implant in the head that affects the eyes, this enables her to perdict movements, channel magical energy, and look up information in her own mind in the matter of seconds.

Possessions/items/property: Crimson wears a golden hair piece, one given to her by her mother, it is very different from her very dark appearance.

Misc: She wears a mask when she is out on a mission.

[Themerlinhawk]

Woo, my services are required. Okay lets see

[Smystar99]

@Themerlinhawk Yikes, that bad O_O

[Themerlinhawk]

@Smystar99 Alright I like the character lets fix lore stuff.

Rank: Paladin of Assassination- Okay so this is my bad, She's either a Paladin of Shadows or a Paladin of Sight. I'll detail the various orders within the Tower soon I promise. Basically the members that fall into the Order of Shadows serve the NPC Ralrisk, The Mistress of Shadows she runs the Towers spy network and covert operations.

The Order of Sight is a group that are devoted to identifying and eliminating threats to the Tower before they can come to fruition. They are basically the Towers watch dog and as part of that their Paladins will often kill those plotting against the tower before they ever do anything.

In Elven culture she was a sin, to human beings she was a monster. Most half bloods like her are killed or hidden away.

So Elves are a kind of Elder Sidhe and its not strictly forbidden for them to have relations with Humans though it would be reasonable for a particular clan to have a prejudice against humans. So you should detail the clan in question. They will need to be from a particular court (Summer, Winter, Autumn or Spring) and then you will need some history for them.

God relations: Is thought to be a relative of the goddess Pax, the goddess of peace.

Please pick from the god list in the Codex. Stay away from the Twilight Council since the Fae don't associate with the Stygian Empire largely. I recommend a female aspect of Exandar. This will also need some detailing on your part since Galendar boasts a lot of different aspects for the gods that are occasionally worshiped by different groups so an aspect of Exandar that focuses on peace is not too much of a stretch.

Tech: An implant in the head that affects the eyes, this enables her to perdict movements, channel magical energy, and look up information in her own mind in the matter of seconds.

could you give a little more detail than this? I like the idea but I'd like to flesh it out just a little more.

my only other thought on the character is that I'd like to see you develop her history in character a little more. Maybe who her parents were, is the clan shes from still after her? you dont need to include it in the character sheet just keep it in mind IC

And no, that was excitement I like the character.

[Smystar99]

@Themerlinhawk Okay, I see a lot of these mistakes could have been me just not reading right, I'll be sure to fix them sometime tomorrow and have a better copy. I also have backstory stuff built up/in development for her backstory but I saw I could leave some anonymous so I hid it a bit. I'll add a few more details and fix the things you pointed out though.

[Themerlinhawk]

@Smystar99Sounds amazing, I look forward to it. Let me know if you have any questions

I also updated the Codex it has the current orders of the Tower.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Themerlinhawk Checking in for the headcount. Just trying to sort some things out.

[CollectorOfMyst]

Okay, I think I finished my character. Posting the new one below, let me know if anything needs changing.

Markus Jordan

Name: Markus Jordan

Alias/Nickname: blu_drag0n

Rank: Artisan

Appearance:

Under his visor are the eyes that nobody can ever decide if they are blue or grey. Even his answer varies from time to time.

Age: 19

Race: Human

Personality: Generally a laid back individual who jokes around, Markus tends to spend long hours by himself, working with codes. Well, not quite. He has Ark, after all. He can come off as antisocial, or aloof, but if he can relax around a particular person, then his attitude is much more welcoming.

Biography/history: Markus is the only son of Lauren Jordan and Paladin Elain Luxien. Paladin Elain and his squad were pronounced M.I.A, presumed dead, less than a week before the boy was born. And his mother was not long for the world, either, dying during the childbirth, and entrusting Markus to his aunt's care. Growing up, he never really had questions about where his parents had gone. And despite his Aunt's best attempts, he never seemed to be passionate about anything. The young boy was simply just content to let the days pass by in that small little world of his. Of course, as he grew older, that world grew larger. And as that world grew larger, more things happened within it. One of these things made him who he was today.

Markus' aunt ran a small café, by the name of The Blue Dragon. They offered breakfasts and lunches, snacks and drinks, and had a good signal that allowed people to use their portable devices to their heart's content. They closed mid-afternoon, and one day a week they didn't open. It was a happy life, but all too soon it was cut short.

In his adolescence – though, he hasn’t quite left it yet – he was going through the inevitable rebellious phase. And because of it, he and his aunt began to argue more and more. And one of these arguments turned sour. Markus ran from their home in a rage, and stayed away for an entire day. But when he returned, it was to flashing lights and grim news. There had been an accident.

The café closed. He kept to himself even more. His aunt’s friends, after months of trying to reach out, eventually moved on. It was in this time that Markus became who he is today.

Spending time alone on the streets, he came across a man being assaulted by some kids for looking strange. Markus didn’t think before moving to defend the man. Once they left the pair alone, the man said that he recognised Markus as a fellow wanderer, and offered to teach him how to survive. And he began to teach Markus how to hack.

Though he never learned the man’s name, nor would he know when he’d next see him, Markus gave in to his curiosity, and found himself in a world of codes and programming. He knew how to exploit a single unprotected outlet, or the smallest flaw in the security, and then he would be in control. His mentor eventually vanished, causing him to go adrift, for a while, but then he continued on his own. He felt unstoppable, tasking himself with getting into the highest-security systems across Galendar.

But he got careless. He got caught.

Reason for recruitment: A good number of hackers are hired after breaking in. Obviously some also get incarcerated, but why let them go to waste?

Strength of Will: Unnatural

Magic: None

God relations: Xandrius is the god that Markus feels closest to, given that they both know a little more about what life is like nowadays, and have access to a thousand secrets.

Tech:

• V95ZO36 or Zoe, an artificial intelligence Markus created himself. She can easily transfer between platforms, and holds an expansive database. While she does not always completely agree with what Markus does, she often concedes given that there's little chance to turn back without getting imprisoned.
• Visor and headset – his visor isn’t without function. It’s fitted with a computer chip that allows him to watch codes run, or video feed if he has access to cameras, whilst still being able to see what’s in front of him. And the headset – he uses it to listen to audio feed, but also in lieu of a neural implant, since he knows from past experience that they can be hacked by someone of prodigal skill.
• Wristbands – the bands around his wrist aren’t for show. He can use them anywhere to bring up a plasma screen which he can use to ply his craft, though it is only an alternative for his being unable to hack remotely. If pressed, he can also use them to generate a melee weapon or function as a wrist-gun in a battle.
• Rollerskates – His boots contain deployable wheels which he can use if he needs extra speed. They can only be used in areas with even ground, though.

Possessions/items/property: Other than the clothes on his back and his gear, none. He lives light.

Skills:

Hacker: The obvious part, Markus is an extremely skilled hacker, be it at the location of the system, or doing it from afar. As long as he has access, he can get in.

Good in a fight, I guess: He can assist in event of combat, but he’d rather not have to.

[Themerlinhawk]

@CollectorOfMyst I like him. Put him in the Character section.

[Themerlinhawk]

Okay I'm going to make a quick pass through the Advanced interest check with this one and hopefully like two more people fall out of a tree some where. If not I'm looking to start middle of next week
