[OOC] Of Divinations and Tribulations - OOC And IC Thread

[WittyReference]

Annnnd, number two!

Name: Dr. Kaikaus M. Rahja

Gender: Male

Age: 46

Appearance: A middle-aged professor of Indian descent, Dr. Rahja sports a full head of hair, if a bit grey, a sensible beard and mustache combo and an understated gold pair of spectacles. Along in his brown wing-tips and stain-resistant khakis, the Good Doctor's elbow-padded tweed blazer kept him warm and stylish on his day into town. Short in stature, Dr. Rahja still carries with him a presence and the weight of Academia.

Strengths and Weaknesses, Quirks and Traits: A man of great intellect, Dr. Rahja is a well-witted man. A historian by trade with a steel trap memory, what Dr. Rahja lacks in physical prowess he makes up for in intimate knowledge of everything from ancient military tactics to travelling by only the constellations to basic cartography. The wonders of the old world are his sword and shield. Unfortunately, these do little against actual weaponry. For all his knowledge of a Gorgon's attack patterns or the approximate reach of an opponent's lance, they are still very real dangers against which he has next to no defense.

A Brief History: Born and raised in an affluent home, Kaikaus Rahja was his parents' only and beloved son of four children. Always seeking adventure and to be a "regular boy" Rahja escaped into stories of epic conflicts and impossible monsters. Though he excelled in his studies, any free time he could spare was spend alongside Odysseus on his trek home from the Trojan War or at the Gate of Thermopylae, phalanxed with his Three-Hundred Spartan brothers.

Dreams of childhood usually die a quiet death as the boy becomes a man but Rahja was lucky. By chance his senior English Teacher had mentioned Homer in class one day in passing. Meeting with him each day during lunch period from then on, the two discussed much until the day his teacher recommended a career in the field.

One becomes two, day becomes night, Kaikaus the Dreamer becomes Dr. Rajha, the accredited professor.

[SirBeowulf]

Ooh, I like the characters you're putting out so far, Witty.
Axe-cepted.

[WittyReference]

Thank you sir! David and Goliath they are :p

[Discontent]

Now begs the real question.

Who will die fiiiirst?!

I'm bettin' on Beo.

And good characters, Wit.

[SirBeowulf]

Of course, the narrator and person who has no actual physical body is going to die first.

Totes.

[Discontent]

"The main character drew the Card of Meta, and exclaimed its name to the heavens. Defying logic and every storytelling convention in existence, Sir Beowulf, the narrator, took a sword directly through the heart. And thus, with his last breath, the story abruptly ende--"

Name: Mark Latram

Age: 45

Appearance: Dark brown matted hair, dirty and greasy from lack of cleanliness graces are thin and bony face with brown eyes inset heavily upon his face, crooked teeth with golden brown hues from a continuous smoking habit and a grim smile, His neck is stretches from a torn and weathered and stained hoodie resting against fairly broad and muscular shoulders, beneath the hoodie one would find an even dirtier shirt. Following the arms down you come to his dry hands, the fingernails almost black from the amount of dirt. His sweatpants originally grey now seem to be steadily turning browner each day and his feet are adorned with boots a size larger than his feet. The man is quite tall, sitting at 6'2" and is fairly physically fit, but that is a combination of constantly moving and his very small diet of whatever the closest soup kitchen provides.
A strong odorous smell resonates around him, one could almost see the stench expand from him as it slowly envelops the area he resides like a plague.

Strengths and Weaknesses, Quirks and Traits: Mark is a very devilish man, strong despite his body, but intelligence wise there is something to be desired, This is partly because of his early exit from schooling. He has a way of things though and has spent a long time watching people, he has become very aware of those he trusts or does not trust and how people influence each other. He has a heavy smoking addiction and becomes EXTREMELY irritable when he lacks cigarettes; He is also very superstitious due to how he perceives his arrest and trial for murder. It is without a doubt that one would question him as anything but a criminal.

A Brief History: Blood covered his hands, his clothing, every inch of him was a blood stained mess, His suit tarnished by the red stains; The victim was immobile and lifeless a cold blank stare of fright etched permanently on his face. And what of it, Mark thought, He should never have underestimated a man who has worked so hard for him for so long. He chose to run, but Mark wanted people to know where he stood and what the world has done to him. He would not accept the reasons for such discrimination. So what were the reasons for discriminating against a man like him? He was a hard worker non the less, so he was unhealthy, so he smoked, so he wasn't the world's next greatest suited man. He did what was needed and this cruel lifeless man, he needed to die.
And when he was caught, he preached openly. Unafraid of jail, people will fear him instead. That's where he wants to be. The body was never found, never seen and with just those minor unlucky mistakes he was caught. He hadn't meant to spill salt, or break that mirror and he rotted in jail until he realized that even the smallest of luck changing things can be your downfall. He spent years reflecting on that, years spent finding a way to change the mistakes for the better.
He's been living off the streets for three years now, and still he had never noticed the store till recently. He begged for money, and once he had the chance he entered the store, expecting much less than what was to come.

Anything Else: SECRETS.
