[OOC] Swords of a Master

[Arthanus]

I can change up my character to function alone, but I kinda wanted to play the bodyguard/master role...

[Eyeris]

HI AFFILLI!!! <3

Make a character pleasepleaseplase^_^

[Gisk]

Would you need to be a bodyguard of a wealthy family? Or would a hired sword work?

[Arthanus]

I could change him around to fit sword for hire wouldn't take much I had pmed you what I have so far and can go off that as a basic shell.

[Imperfectionist]

:( I'm sorry, Gisk. If it had started way back on the interim site, I might have fleshed out my ideas, but at this point I'm just swamped. I'm getting back into oldGuild RPs that were lost, adapting and recreating two semi-complex concepts of my own, and I just started a new job last week...

I'll read the IC, but sadly I'll have to withdraw my interest character-wise. I hope some people show up again.

[Affili]

you guys still going? I'm working on a CS if the RP's still going.

[Eyeris]

We are! We've not been rising things, but we're are here!

[Affili]

well as soon as I can get into the Google doc i'll work on it. I'm at work right now. server wont give me access to Google for some reason.

[Affili]

well I pm'ed the GM the CS so i'll see what he says. this RP seems relatively quiet for now though.

[Eyeris]

I forget what we were waiting for... :)

[Yevin]

GISK
WE ARE ALWAYS WAITING FOR GISK

[Eyeris]

Huh. he said he was waiting for you! ;)

[Gisk]

Sorry, I've been busy with junk.

Anyway, Affili is all good.

I like our cast thus far. A trader/smugger, a mercenary, a goat herder, a priestess and a bodyguard. Probably also a master swordsman/teacher.

I was kind of hoping Water Dragon would get taken, but it has not.

[Yevin]

Can't wait to see how this RP will go

[Eyeris]

I really did try to make a badass for once this game! Look what I have done... Goats!

Name: Darious
Age: 31
Sex: Male
Appearance:

Darious

Whisper

6’1” athletic build. Darious’ is well toned but not overly muscular and is often found in his hunting tunic and cloak.

Country of origin: Nomad

Personality: Darious is easy going and professional. He sees all travelers as potential clients and thus he is quick to offer an encouraging smile or a mug of ale to a weary stranger. He lives an exciting life, except for the fact that he has a terrible fear, almost a phobia of falling to his death. However it’s so much the falling he’s afraid of but the irony that would come with the fall given the Whisper Blade’s unique abilities.

Background: Darious' earliest memories are of a life wandering the lands with his guardian simply known as 'Jitters'; that was sometimes COMFORTABLE while other times quite unpleasant. His mother and father were killed in a skirmish when he was just a small child...Or so he'd been told by his only known father figure, the one entrusted with his safety, Jitters. It was only later on, on his deathbed that the elderly warrior revealed the entirety of Darious' history.

Darious’ family was just a small branch of a greater nomadic populous. But they were known as mercenaries and often were employed by the nobles to procure both expensive and exotic items. The family comes from ancient nomadic bloodlines that have been guardians of the Whisper Blade for centuries and were well known as professional mercenaries who had a reputation for reaching those hard to reach places. The entire family was well trained with hand to hand combat and weaponry.

Unfortunately the entire family was later slaughtered due the fact that people learned of the Whisper Blade’s secrets and sought to acquire it through bloodshed. Darious and Jitters were absent during the night of the slaughter due to a hunting expedition and the Whisper Blade was lost to the murderers for a time.
After many years Jitters managed to track the Whisper’s whereabouts down and the seasoned warrior, a young Darious and several other sell swords were finally able to avenge the family’s untimely death.

Though the sword was rightfully passed down to Darious once it was in their procession, it was only several years ago and he has yet to master its true power. The only one that would have been able to teach him was mortally wounded during the raid and later succumbed to the wounds. Jitter’s was laid to rest on a funeral pyre fit for a king and Darious went in to solitude, literally dropping off the face of the world so as to cut all ties with any potential enemies.

Now he spends his time under the employ of high end clients in search of hard to reach things. It’s quite a profitable business for the young mercenary of the wind.

Takes quite a bit of sand to herd goats you know. What with all the hazardous things they could eat and their aptitude for wandering away from the rest in search of food stuffs. Wolves and other predators. bandits that want food. you know things like that. people that want their horns to make trumpets... ticks, parasites, poisonous plants. falling boulders that could crush them.

[Eyeris]

Right! Bad-ass goat herder! :D

[Gisk]

So the first bit of the RP is this.

Yllicus escapes, the Tharan Legion is chasing him, and there's rewards posted for information, and a bounty. Everyone will individually be chasing after him, for various reasons. We'll all converge on him, and he will point us in the next direction.

[Yevin]

Sounds fun
