@Jerkchicken What are the odds of a dog mage who uses a grimoire (Demon book) to summon ancient cat demons?

[Jerkchicken]

summoner yes, demons no, cats maybe.

@Wolpertingers@Animus@Pariah@0 Azzy 0@Tenslashsix@Gelatinous Cube@eclecticwitch@Reflection@Hydrophobe

Sup, still interested or did y'all flake?

[Gelatinous Cube]

Hey yo, I'm still keen. Just trying to suss out what I want to be

[Jerkchicken]

Oh cool!

Sometimes it's hard to tell if something's just moving slowly or is actually dead. So I figured after 4 days of no posting it'd be good to get a status check.

[Gelatinous Cube]

No worries. I've been considering a human character. I like the dynamic of the "normal" one interacting casually with more extraordinary, out there character types. Having that grounded relatability is something I've always been very fond of.

[Jerkchicken]

Do what feels right to you, or alternatively be a slime as appropriate to your username.

[0 Azzy 0]

still thinking of making a human sky pirate, just super slow. XD

[Jerkchicken]

An ex-pirate?

Cuz you do know everyone's current job is just working at the guild and doing stuff for them as that's focus here.

[Wolpertingers]

Flaking is for Frosted Flakes. Just been a tad slow about thisun.

[Reflection]

@Jerkchicken I'm still around-ish. Still plotting out an idea. Maybe a necromancer dog?

[Wolpertingers]

Okay, there we go. Here's my character.

Yushen the Leppid

Name: Yushen, the Curmudgeonly Collector of Curios
Race: Leppid
Sex: Female

Appearance: Yushen is a fern green color Leppid, composed of rather small and sturdy looking scales. This color extends across all of her body sans her tail, which is a dark brown with a noticeable dimble in the middle of the flat circular tail, her greyish muzzle and light red tendrils. Yushen has a pair of bright gold eyes, very whitened fangs and a bright blue tongue. Her anterior and posterior claws are both white. Length wise she is around two and a half meters, and stands at about two and a third meters tall if on her hind legs. And in terms of weight she weighs in at about three hundred and fifty six kilograms.

Background: Yushen was born in the Dredgelands with hardly a cent to her name. Here among these merchants vying for the always expanding territory, Yushen learned the importance of the material world. She became an apprentice to a florist, who migrated to the Dredgelands from Yaskal in the search of making an even better strain of “loud” in secrecy. Together the mentor and student pair proceeded to help each other, Yushen learning the ways of botany and studying hydromancy in exchange for helping cook the books and keep profit flowing to the florist.

Of course for Yushen this business did not provide enough profit, or peculiar baubles that she had often seen from travelers. So she sold out her part to the Florist and used that to buy a Etherium Crystal Charged Satchel, and a ticket to the Floating Bazaars.

After doing a variety of odd jobs and trades, she managed to catch wind of a recruiter from the Red Dragon Bone Guild coming to the area of the Bazaar she often frequented. She made her way to the recruiter and pleaded her case and got hired on essentially as an adventuring gardener. But hey, now she has a sure way to get all sorts of treasures and a full time stand to pawn them off at!

Personality: As the title suggests, Yushen is not the most affable person around. When it comes right down to it she is pretty cold and standoffish. She cares far more about material things rather than living creatures, with some exceptions to plant and fungal life. A covetous creature who only really plays nice with others who are actively interested in either wanting to buy some of the baubles she has for sale, or possibly interested in a short discussion about flora.

Role: Fence/Pawnbroker (but that tends to not pay the bills, as much as it should so to speak, so she’s really more effectively a Gardener)

Abilities:

• Recognition of Rarities - Running a pawn shop and fencing loads of weird goods for years there are two things that are for certain; you will never know what will come through that door, and you are guaranteed to learn a lot of tidbits of bric-a-brac. As such Yushen is a ‘jack of all trades’ when it comes to identifying rare items alongside identifying their probable market values.
• Botanist – Yushen is comfortable identifying several species of domesticated/farming floras and knows how to properly raise and tend to them.
• Creature of the Water – As a Leppid, Yushen is a very, very good swimmer and is quite adept to aquatic life.
• Hydromancy- Yushen is able to manipulate water with the power of magic, like quite a few Leppids could do. With this manipulation she is able to perform feats such as making waves and watery tendrils for striking things, adjusting the temperature of water to slightly above freezing and slightly above boiling, being able to shoot out pressured jets of water from her mouth which can pierce through objects and of course the far more mundane summoning fresh water for drinking or watering plants.
• Sonic Slam - Usually a backwards attack, but it is possible frontwards if given time to jump and slam on the stomach, by striking her tail down she can create a blast through the air to knock foes backwards and possibly hurt them in the process.

Inventory:

• Etherium Crystal Charged Satchel- Through the wonderous use of Etherium Crystals this satchel holds the magical quality of holding more things than the outside would indicate it being able to hold. Design wise the satchel is bright blue with pink snaps.
• Inner Satchel- For the most part these items are useless but they contain a unique collection of knickknacks such as; jeweled skulls, bugs in amber, near-post-apocalypsian arrowheads, gold tablets and an assortment of fine silverware.
• Big Scroll and Paint Vials

Yes very much, I will get it posted today. Been trying to find a good pic for a pangolin but I suppose the old describe it will have to do.

[Jerkchicken]

Alternatively you can photoshop fantasy gear on a pangolin or sandlash picture.

[Tenslashsix]

Before I submit I should ask is it alright for me to cast my characters background as having lived on the surface world instead of on the sky islands?

@Jerkchicken

[Jerkchicken]

Your character would be extremely old which could be interesting as I never listed lifespans for everything, I think I wrote somewhere that at least 4 generations passed.

[Tenslashsix]

I was thinking more along the lines of having been ship wrecked surface side as a youth. Not necessarily very old just a bit more rough and tumble than civilized folks. (Pangolin seems like a good choice for hardy survivor.)

@Jerkchicken

[Jerkchicken]

That works

Octus Havelock WIP

Name: Octus Havelock
Race: Temmincki
Sex: Male
Appearance: Thirty eight years old. Will finish the description once I decide on a pic.

Octus 1

Octus 2

Background: Octus has lived on Martennas' surface since he was six years old. For the better part of this time, alone, by choice. Trading occasionally with the intrepid new locals who in recent years have started to re-colonize the old world. His presence on the earth below rather than the sky above a result of an airship crash. Long hard years of living in some of the wilder areas have lent Octus a tempered and rather pragmatic approach to life. Not requiring many of the creature comforts many have come to consider practically a necessity. Meeting a few of the Red Dragon Bone Guild as they fulfilled jobs on the surface provided new opportunities. Chances to get paid handsomely for things he had done just for the sake of survival until now. Kill this, retrieve that, these sky people are wonderfully loose with their money and supplies.

Personality: Octus is slow to truly anger but vicious in a fight. His entire life after all has taught him that things cannot eat you if they are dead. Often shooting/clawing/gnawing/disintegrating first and asking questions later he approaches most situations with the thought of getting the job done as efficiently and profitably as possible.

Role: Seemingly to rely on his natural weapons of claw and fang more than anything belies Octus' natural ability as a magi. Not having ever really been educated it has by and large been a self learned process. He uses mage craft in order to survive and and get ahead in the world. Octus doesn't really consider himself a practitioner or even bother to consider how or why he has the ability. It is useful. That is sufficient.

Abilities: List any skills, magic, or cool fighting moves here
Inventory: What stuff are they lugging around?
Theme song: Run Through the Jungle - CCR
Misc: In case you need it
