hi here is the trash

^{T o m a s G u y m a n}

Go on. Ask me why I've tied some string to my bow. Do it.

Name

Tomas Guyman, but almost everyone calls him Guyman. It's a ridiculous name, after all.

Age

Sixteen. He'll get back to you on a joke about that.

Appearance

• height : 5' 7"
• weight : 141 lbs
• hair colour : golden blond
• eye colour : steel
• other : seems to constantly be chewing something in his mouth

Personality

Want to get to know Tomas? Good luck getting through the barrage of bad puns, one-liners, and other fun jokes first. That is if he'll even give you the time of day while he's busy "perfecting his craft". The failing comedian seldom has time to talk to people, there are so many jokes out there waiting to be written! Who cares if you need him to save some princess? That's, like, really not important when he just had the best idea. The only reason he's tagging along for this in the first place is for the sights — they'll inspire more jokes, duh. No matter how you feel about his obsession with comedy, you can't deny Tomas' ignorance makes him incredibly fearless. He's the type to rush through a dungeon and scoff at the 8 foot monster glaring at him, because he's got places to be and things to do, who has time for undead bullshit? Those people 5 feet behind shouting at him to do things just don't understand there's a great knock-knock joke to be made.

Class

Archer; bows and arrows are his specialty. Also his only-ty.

Strengths

Archery training— He can shoot straight, nock an arrow well, draw his bow with adequate strength and even brace a crude bow to okay results. He has significantly worse luck with crossbows, however.

Survival skills— While he's no Bear Grylls (who's Bear Grylls?), he can at least fight off a natural death from starvation, infection or thirst should he ever be lost in the wilderness. Fighting off an angry bear that just saw him taking her food is a whole different matter.

Charismatic— Even if he opens his mouth shortly after and shatters the illusion, it can't be denied that Tomas' natural confidence makes him certifiably charismatic. When he's not spewing 10 jokes every half hour, that is.

Weaknesses

Terrible comedian— Tomas' lack of any shred of humour is most likely going to get him killed one day. He's already crossed "severely injured in a dark alley by angry patrons" off that list.

Ignorant— The failing comedian would probably be a lot better at what little skills he possesses if he actually cared about them. To him, becoming the best comedian in the world is all that matters. He's got a long way to go.

What were you doing when the princess was kidnapped?

The Founder's Festival was Tomas' perfect opportunity to finally build up an audience and wisecrack his way to fame. He had the perfect jokes-so-funny-because-they're-true written up about the royal family, and was about to begin his performance to the side of the street when some asshole bandits caused a commotion while kidnapping the princess! His audience practically vapourised in an instant (clearly due to the guards faintly shouting in the distance and not his jokes) and the comedian was left fuming. Needless to say, a mission to go after the bandits and get his revenge was an extremely appealing concept to him. Oh, yeah, and save the princess, whatever.

***THIS IS NOT A NOTE OF ACCEPTANCE, THAT DECISION IS COMING TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY***

Okay, had some time to read, here's the dealio, it's on the shorter side and ofc it's nothing final and if you have further questions you can ask here or PM me.

On the Right Track:
@Papa Baba - We had already discussed things in PM.
@Sola - If she could just have some kind of weapon (I did recall a mention of a frying pan which would qualify) then everything else is fine. It'd just be a lil worrying to go on an adventure empty handed!
@tex - I thought he was a pirate but fisherman is just as good. As with Sola, I didn't see a weapon, either, but please correct me if I just missed it I cant read
@Jensoman - It's fine, if accepted I'll make sure to fill you in on the inner workings of the kingdom
@Inkarnate - What a tsuntsun~
@HowlsofWinter - ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@Mara - I can already feel myself banging my head on my desk.

Could Use an Edit:
@deadpixel101 - I understand I left things open ended, but 'Mother' doesn't really count as a class, at least from the ones I had in mind. I'm looking for more traditional classes (Rogue, Cleric, Knight, etc., etc.,) and her class doesn't seem to fit the archetype, even though her abilities seem to fall under healer. On another note, the insectoid part I'm slightly wary about; I haven't introduced other races besides humans and as of this moment I don't really plan on it, so that would need to be changed.
@ShwiggityShwah - This could be my own misunderstanding, but is her personality the part that's being parodied? The character looks a little straightforward, so I wasn't too sure. Also, yes there's a huge difference between a hunter (those that hunt) and a beastmaster (essentially a tamer of animals).
@Seraphin - I'm not really seeing the parody here, he's an Inquisitor but...where's the quirk? Remember this RP is a parody, so it's not going to be too serious.
@Quasar - I'm pretty iffy on necromancy, as I had mentioned to Pike, I don't feel that divine elements would really fit the tone I'm looking for, and while I know necromancy is...well, the complete opposite, I don't think such dark magic would be in the tone I'm looking for.

If there are any questions and concerns, ask and ye shall receive. If I missed anyone, just say the word and I'll go back and review it. While I'm thrilled to see everyone's ideas, unfortunately not everyone will be accepted, but this weekend will be your chance to make any last adjustments and edits including those who are already on the right track (in case they want to add more to outdo their peers). Thanks for reading!
