So Uh...I feel somewhat sheepish posting my WIP sheet underneath Shards but, well, still gonna do it! Wanna PM the Narrator before I flesh out the end details on this sheet.

My Hider

Subject File #
297600T

Name
Subject claims his name is what sounds like a quick series of growling barks. His handlers have taken to calling him Growler.

Age
Numerous organic pieces have been surgically removed for examination-test results date the specimen to be nearing thirty years old by our current understandings of time.

Appearance
Almost stereotypical looking in nature the subject resembles most artistic imaginations of what is commonly referred to in public society as “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch.” As would be expected in his natural state he is completely covered in a thick unruly mess of brown fury hair save for the majority of his bald face; the little skin that can be seen is of rather dark suntanned color that somewhat hides his weathered and calloused skin.

Nearing upwards of eight and a half feet tall the specimens longer arms and slightly cone shaped skull are but one of his many fascinating abnormalities-the very frame of his body being such a solid mass of boulder like muscle that it alone would warrant study were he just a mere primate. Despite the lack of fully developed lips, a problem that causes his tusk like bottom canines to jut out menacingly, his handlers swear up and down that he is always smiling: further tests are needed to confirm this.

After some convincing and an extended period of “good” behavior while serving in [redacted] we allowed him the requested pair of what had to be custom made jeans, an enormous brown leather duster (specifically fake leather), and a matching cowboy hat.

Classification
Definitely not a member of another sentient race that has lived alongside humanity for thousands of years in secrecy, and definitely not some sort of “missing link.” Definitely not-the Knights have been doing their holy duty and making that the known truth since the dawn of the fowl creatures discovery.

Powers
Enhanced Strength: Physically stronger than any average human and several high level types of threats encountered in field work.

PsyLingual: Our scientists have yet to discover if the specimen himself has some minor psychic abilities or if his species has literally mastered some way of vocal communication with animals. Whatever it is the results have time and time again shown that he can communicate with animals, primarily mammals and birds, to the point that it resembles a conversation to the passing eye.

Invisibility: Years prior to catching our first [redacted] the organization had been stumped in figuring out just how such a large creature had gone unphotographed and tended to disappear when pursued-truth be told we were all somewhat shocked when we discovered the main reason behind this was in fact an inate form of invisibility they possessed. Such a form of camouflage is unheard of in the animal kingdom and is truly a sight to behold; those that actually witness the specimen "cloak" often compare it to the old Predator movies when seen up close.

Artifacts or Skills
The subject known as Growler was assigned to [redacted] on account of his expert tracking skills and stealth abilities. Although given no formal training in combat Growlers unnatural strength allows him the ability to handle most physical encounters with sheer brute force.

As of yet all tests have been inconclusive when it comes to the possible magical properties of the numerous polished stones and hand carved trinkets that are woven into what could be considered his "beard."

Biography
Official records state that the subject known as Growler was first identified twelve years prior to todays date. First encountered in [redacted] in the [redacted] National Park we immediately dispatched the Francis Unit with standard capture orders-standard orders being kill at the first sign of resistance.

What was meant to be a typical mission for the Knights turned into a grueling two year game of cat and mouse. Surprisingly through all this time not a single Knight was killed directly by the creature: broken limbs and accidental fatalities though were a completely different story. A year into the "project" and the assigned Unit had sectioned of a set range of woods, about 20 square miles, that the target seemed to stay within as if his chosen territory.

Our first real progress in apprehension was when we cut the budget to Francis Unit causeing many of the on the ground agents to begin using the forest itself for warmth during the winter months by hacking down trees and burning constant fires without abandon. Quickly a pattern emerged with agents being attacked when specifically assigned logging duties; knowledge we then used in several traps that lead to close captures.

A few months into the start of the second year [redacted] was granted his request of six class C flame throwers that were immediately put to use in a new tactic of just saying to hell with it and burning the whole forest down. Amazingly before the day was over the creature made himself visible in camp in a eerie display of surrender that resembled a human-on his knees and hands raised in the air in clear sign of submission.

From here the specimen was locked in restraining arm and leg bands classed at strength level [redacted] and was shipped to our scientific branch in [redacted] without problem. After the science department was done poking and prodding he was deemed "useable" by the many departments in charge of such a decision and was quickly given the rank Expendable and assigned to the [reacted] Unit.

Havkalu

Name:
Havkalu

Age:
At least 1500

Classification:
Annunaki

Some Facts On Annunaki

• They are extremely advanced extraterrestrials who predate humanity
• Their home planet is Nibiru, a massive planet on the edge of the solar system hidden from view by advanced cloaking technology
• Popularly believed to be the extraterrestrial patrons and benefactors of human civilization since the beginning of recorded history
• Notably less active (or at least less conspicuous) on Earth since the destruction of the Tower of Babel, which was meant to act as a sort of embassy

Powers:
Integrated Cybernetics: Very few Annunaki exist that have not been given extensive cybernetic modification from birth. Havkalu is no exception, having, among other things: a holographic image display to disguise himself, an integrated signal jammer, a biological air filter, advanced optical tracking and an exocortex.

Annunaki Technology: Aside from cybernetic enhancement, Havkalu also has understanding of how to use his peoples' technology, including Positronic Acceleration Arms, Spacial Compression Engines and many others, though his access to Annunaki equipment is rather limited at the moment.

Biography:
Havkalu was once unremarkable by the standards of his species, being wholly dedicated to making sure that humanity advances down a prosperous and enlightened path, but his time on Earth has changed him.

Assigned to investigate rumors of secretive human experiments into FTL travel and other incredibly advanced technology they should not yet be able to access, Havkalu's snooping was discovered by the Knights, who saw him as an emissary of those who would usurp God and try to control humanity's destiny themselves. They bound him in divine shackles and gave him a choice: reprogram his exocortex to enforce obedience to the Order or die.

Since submitting, Havkalu has proved a valuable resource, especially where other extraterrestrials are involved. Still, his confinement and the tampering with his own neural modifications have made him slightly unstable and rather erratic.

@T Risket Your character reminds me of something that would be written in the SCP Foundation. That's really cool.

@NewShoesForever I just wanted to give you a heads up. Given how this is a dark fantasy/religious mythos RP, I am unsure if the GM would accept a Sci Fi character. I might be wrong, but just wanted to poke you about this, in case of things.

[NewShoesForever]

@Shard

I'm aware. The idea is that such a character fits more into the "Ancient Aliens/Conspiracy Theory" type mood than the "Space Opera" mood. Still, we'll see.

[The Narrator]

@NewShoesForeverI have to agree with the previous post. It does not really fit in the setting.

@everyone I will be home for the weekend so im sorry to say that I will probably post again on monday.

[NewShoesForever]

@The Narrator
Fair enough. I'll try to post something more appropriate by Monday, then.

[Loki Odinson]

@The Narrator
Quick question: Are semi-humanoid creatures allowed? I mean as long as they can take on human form to blend in. Because I was thinking of Arachne/Jorogumo. Not sure if it will fit...?

[Yuria]

uuuu have mein cs

Still a bit of a WIP, but you get the idea.

The Basilisk

☼ A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi. Abiit nemine salutato. Abyssus abyssum invocat. Aegri somnia vana. ☼

"Heartbreaking it is, for what could provoke such a sweet child into tearing out his own eyes?"

Name
Abel Everdene

Age
Biological Appearance, 20

Classification
Unknown. Entitled officially as Basilisk, sometimes Medusa.

Appearance
Twisted by prying eyes, The Basilisk seeks solitude behind veils and a neutral bronze masque. The silhouette of a man stands at six feet, lean in stature and head low in posture. If one should peel back the clad clothing and attire, a warm and pale complexion might be noticed, youthful and healthy despite deprivation of the sun's gaze. His hair is perhaps unkempt, cropped a little above his jawline and held put by his head attire. His beloved mask tells a less delicate story, for if one were to hold immune to his gaze whilst pulling it away, they would be a met by a sombre and mournful face. Thin lips never smile, and his features are set with a pair of infernal, serpentine orange eyes. His eyelids and cheekbones are painted with pale scar tissue; traces of incidents unseen, in which his torment begged that he tear out his own eyes, time and time again...

Nervous of other's gaze and in line with precautions set by superiors, The Basilisk is clad entirely in clothing, leaving no flesh exposed. The mask itself holds a shrouded black mesh behind the eyes, preventing onlookers from peering into the holes. During times of rest or when a mask is not viable, The Basilisk is instead veiled.

Powers
☠ Petrifying Gaze
Staring directly into the eyes of the basilisk leads to 'petrification,' a state in which the victim is unable to move, despite remaining entirely conscious. The duration of this state varies from minutes to years, with the longest known incident remaining on-going at 41 years. Weak minds suffer an immediate aneurysm and death. It should also be noted that The Basilisk's gaze only effects human or human-like souls, and is mostly ineffective against artificial beings and the living dead.

☠ Weave Souls
The Basilisk's eyes harvest and collect souls. Souls can then be materialised into spectral weapons, in a neo-form of necromancy. When facing monsters, this technique is usually manifested in the form of many arms, which sprout from the ground to restrain and tear at flesh.

☠ Summon Nahash
An ability forbidden and left undiscussed.

☠ Heat Sensitivity
The Basilisk is able see without eyes through the use of thermal pit organs.

Possessions
✦ The Masque
A brazen masque depicting an unremarkable, neutral face. It has been in his possession for longer than he can remember, and serves as an effective barrier between him and curious eyes.
✦ Trench Knives
Close combat is not his forte, but he remains skilled in the usage of small blades.

Persona Traits
✦ Tragic Kindness
The Basilisk is withdrawn and overwhelmed by guilt, holding his camaraderie so dearly that he dare not even look their way.
✦ Arachne Enemy
Ancient history sees that arachnid beings feel natural fear and disdain towards The Basilisk.
✦ Predatory
Guilt is overridden by hunger, and the souls of monsters and demonkind provide succour for this foul being.
✦ Patient
The Basilisk waits silently. Listening. Thinking. Calculating.

Biography
Eighty years before present, a hospital saw the admittance of what appeared to be a boy, bloodied and battered and devoid of eyes. In seizuring hands he clutched a peculiar mask, and doctors fought wildly to keep the boy's jolting and agonising movements still. His eyelids had peeled, and his fingers had become painted with his own blood. The boy held no other possessions, and bore no indication of identity. None recognised his gored face.

For a while he remained in that hospital bed, remaining stable despite his sightless condition. Over time, gentle nurses were able to wean a name from him; Abel. Abel bore no recollection of his home or parents, and stated only that things were just fine now that he lacked eyes. Concerned yet charmed by the boy's passive demeanour, a decree of adoption was sent out by one of the tending nurses.

But such was not to be, for The Basilisk's eyes opened once more as the sun drew up from the horizon. The nurse who stirred Abel was met by eyes of fire and dark, and her heart ceased to beat.

Abel's hopes were trampled by his regenerating eyes, and he held the mask close as his bedside was attended by strangers. Deeply interested in Abel's serpentine visions, they spoke words of silk, claiming that they might help the accursed child.

Nahash

Entranced by The Basilisk's woe, the viper Nahash presents itself as Abel's only friend, appearing as it wishes and whispering secrets into his ear. Two sides of the same coin, Abel is able to utilise Nahash for dire situations. But such a thing is forbidden.

[Kaalee]

Do y’all have room for one more?

[Shard]

Do y’all have room for one more?

@Kaalee

I am sure there is. I uh...seem to be commenting and answering on things that I have no business poking. The GM can slap me if I am stepping out of line, like the bottom bitch I am.

In summary - make a character.

[Shard]

Also, here is Willow's familiar.

Midnight

Name
Midnight Starpaw.

Age
Unknown, "did you seriously just ask that? How rude."

Species
Familiar.

Personality Traits
❉ Sassy.
❉ Flamboyant.
❉ Lazy.
❉ Cat.

❖ Pretty things.
❖ "Work it gurl'."
❖ Yarn. "What..?"
❖ Chickflicks.
❖ Willow.

Dislikes
✱ Ugly things.

Acquisition
Drawn to creatures of magic, familiars seek their way towards wizards, witches and other magical beings as if second nature. Needless to say, Midnight appeared for Willow when the boy displayed his powers.

Powers
❈ Soul Bond
Midnight is bound to Willow, and as such, is always present, though not always in physical form.

❈ Ghostly Presence
Midnight can choose to be seen by others, or not. However, if Midnight decides to become ethereal, he cannot interact with the surrounding world. Willow can however still see him, and Midnight is often in this form when following Willow around on missions. This form also allows him to fly.

❈ Soul Bound Telepathy
Midnight and Willow can communicate telepathically, but they rarely do due to the voices in Willow's head disturbing their connection.

❈ Guide
A familiar's main purpose is to act as guide, and mentor to those they are with. Midnight constantly teaches Willow how to maintain his powers, and keeps him in line.

@Shard

So by his magicalish nature does he like, communicate in English?

edit: Willow, I mean.

@T Risket

Willow is just a normal kid, English is the only language he speaks.

<Snipped quote by T Risket>

@Shard

Oops...totally meant to say Midnight. One to many on my end!

[Shard]

@T Risket

Midnight speaks the same language as the person he is soul bound to.

[T Risket]

Oh, I gotcha. Makes sense to me!

[Shard]

Midnight is just an 'on the shoulder, backseat driver', for Willow xD, he doesn't actually participate in any other way. Also, he drops sassy ass comments.

[Yuria]

Cute characters

I feel like my boy is lacking in the qt department
