Don't worry. If her plane breaks Dirae can fix it....if anything non-organic breaks, she can fix it. TEAM MECHANIC FTW.

NOT FOR LONG.

Nope. I won't allow it.

And that's how you play the rape game.

[Freeshooter92]

My PC, grand pimplord of Sirens (not really).

Username: Freeshooter92

Name: Aur (Pronounced 'hour') Iliax

Race: Siren

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Homeland: Samsara, the siren home city. However, he thinks of TERRA as his home now.

Appearance: Aur is a typical male siren, of medium height and medium build. He has short, silver-gray hair, Light blue eyes (along with the characteristic siren bar-shaped pupils), fine angular features and lightly tapered ears. His body shows a little wear from several years living in the desert, and he has the calloused hands of one that does heavy labor.

He wears light Sirenic armor (mostly soft padding with some light plating in areas) of a light gray color, along with a darker gray scarf (often wrapped around the lower half of his face to keep the sand out when travelling in the desert). A set of goggles to keep the sand out of his eyes, and a set of various holsters and pouches.

Size: Average height of five feet ten inches, average weight of about 195 pounds.

Elemental Affinity: Dark

Bio:
"A gilded cage is still a cage."
That quote sums up Aur's life pretty well. Born to Cel Iliax, siren priestess of light, Aur was privileged in that he was both nobility and male, and was offered quite the pampered existence. Due to the trademark Siren imbalanced birth rates coupled with their inability to interbreed with other races, males are highly prized in Siren society, and are generally treated extremely well.

However, the truth is that they are just breeding cattle at the end of the day. Those that leave Samsara (though not prevented from doing so) are NOT allowed to come back, and all financial ties they have are severed. They can leave whenever they want in theory, but the harsh wilderness outside of the portals to Samsara are harsh enough to deter them from actually leaving. Coupled with the fact that they hold no power at all in Siren society and (while prized) generally viewed as inferior to the Sirenic matriarchy, it isn't exactly all great back home.

From a very young age he was curious about the outside world, what the real sun was like, what all these places he had read about were all about. TERRA's desert, the Crystalline forest of LUX (NOVA's original name. Most of his books were ridiculously old), among other things. Naturally, Aur's mother was not amused. While the thought of her son being used as breeding stock disgusted her, she didn't want him to throw his life away on the dangerous journey to RUNE, and if he was banished she wouldn't ever see him again. as such he was generally under supervision at all times.

However as Aur grew he became increasingly aware of his imprisonment, and eventually he had enough. He didn't want to die without having left the castle! He devised a plan. He would become strong enough to escape or die trying. The next few years of his life were spent training with the weapons of his people (passing it off as recreation to his mother. The firing ranges were quite popular) and his body as well. The royal guard, the Eight Rings, were all too eager to help him.

Soon, he left. No fanfare, no announcement, nothing. He doesn't know what became of his home as he hasn't returned. What he DOES know is that (lucky him!) there was a caravan passing right by the portal when he popped out in the White Rise desert. Ever since, he has made his living keeping the caravan's trucks in working order. However, he longs for the day he can finally see all those wonders he always dreamed of.

Personality: Aur is most definitely unlike his mother in virtually every way. He is selfish, slightly egotistic, a liar, a cheat, and a dreamer. While not malevolent by any stretch (and is actually quite kind when so inclined) he is out for himself above all. He hates the feeling of being trapped, and values freedom above all else. He is particularly distrustful of them women-folk, as his would-be oppressors left kind of a bad impression on him. However, he doesn't let anything stop him. If he says he will do something, he will do it.

Skills:
Mechanic: Aur is adept at fixing most ground vehicles, and even a few less advanced air ones.
Siren warrior: Aur is adept in the form of combat usually employed by Siren males. That is to say, judicious use of ranged firepower with some close combat mixed in.
Sneaky git: he's quite stealthy when he wants to be.
Iron rider: Aur is a natural with ground vehicles, especially ones with wheels.
Desert Survivalist: While he knows quite a bit about surviving out in the wild from his studies, experience with the deserts of TERRA have

Equipment:
Light Sirenic Armor

Sirenic Modular Carbine

The gun

This weapon is capable of incredible power, if the parts and special ammunition for its various forms can be found. The default version uses Air infused fuel to propel a bullet at relatively lethal speed, roughly equivalent to a Springfield rifle in killing power, and about as quick. He only possesses the default at present, as he could only take one mod with him and this one was the most general-purpose of the ones he owned.

A light dune buggy.
A combat/utility knife.
'Adventurers kit' with rope, torches, food, and other things.

SON OF A BITCH!

Aren't you supposed to be making an IC starting post rather than snatching away my secure seat of power?!

[Rtron]

Freeshooter92 said 3 dozen badasses

I'm telling you. We could take those Blackguard pansies.

Freeshooter92 said Global Evil Ban

Wait, so if I wanted to make a lawful evil devil type character, I couldn't? Not cool bro. DX

Don't worry, his expertise is limited to vehicles (mostly ground) Dieray is still very much the technical wizard here.

You can, as a villain. I feel like this format (a party of adventurers questing around) is not conducive to evil PC's, who may get the group in extreme peril for no reason, undermine the group, or worse, be jackasses for no reason.

Mhmm. You'd best hope he doesn't piss her off on a Dark day. She might decide to increase her importance by having a vehicle explode while he's working on it. ;P

It's a deal!

I doubt he'd trust her all that much, what with her being a Lady Siren.

Alright, give me some crazed plain (the land, not original flavor) bandits in a PM, use the NPC sheet in the codex.

[Lucius Cypher]

I prefer the term antagonist, rather than villain. Your enemies could be very good people, they're just working against you.

Evil implies villain.

[Freeshooter92]

IC's up guys, have at it.

[Lucius Cypher]

Freeshooter92 said

Implies. Karnage is working with you guys, isn't he?

[Freeshooter92]

He better be neutral here. I can tolerate all to the low end of neutral but no further. Violent Apathy is fine, but going out of your way to ruin lives will not be tolerated.

I mean, I banned evil. it wouldn't be fair if I just let you be evil but nobody else. Blatant (or hidden) evil is restricted to antagonists.

Had to do it. Don't care if I was too late.

[Lucius Cypher]

Username: Lucius Cypher
Name: (the) asura (never gave herself a name, thus refers to her species)
Race: Asura
Age: 33
Gender: Female
Homeland: The Abyss
Appearance:


Usually wears some armor and a cloak to hide her figure, but always amkes sure that she never wears anything that restricts her arms. Backless clothing often are her go-to wear. Wears a respirator that allows her to breath in various environments as well as changes her voice. She can use it to translate her speech into other languages, but she herself won't understand it.
Size: 5 Ft 8 In, she's rather thin aside from the extra bulk her arms provide. Is very light.
Elemental Affinity: Light
Bio: The asura was created in the Abyss. Who her parents or creator were, she never knew. A pale, scrawny asura who looked more like a freakish human than a bulking monstrous demon? Such a thing has never occurred, at least not commonly. Her very existence was seen as a fallacy against the demons of the Abyss. Her time there was miserable. She was killed and mutilated, but as a demon in the Abyss, the sweet embrace of death was also something that eluded her. For years, the asura suffered in this place. She sought release. She wanted to die, and to end her existence. She escaped to the mortal world, seeking death it it meant being released from her pain. But out here, in the mortal world, the pain was much worse. Everything was harmful to her. Broken and lost, she merely closed her eyes underneath a tree, and hoped that when she woke up that this was all just a nightmare. She was around fourteen than.

When she woke up, she was being rocked gently on a tree. She wasn't sure what was happening. She thought this was the afterlife. But no, this was the real world. Not a nightmare, but not any better. The asura looked down and saw that the tree was moving with long, but slow strides. This tree was Karnage. He found the six-armed girl and adopted her on a whim. She feared the tree creature and fled, only for him to chase her down. She kept running from him, but Karnage would never let her escape. She tried to find a way to stop him, but she was weak, and could not fight him directly. She sought to end her life before he could take it. Their chase led her to the side of a chasm. It was into a dark Abyss, much like the world she once came from. Fear took hold of her, but mostly, she just wanted everything to end. She jumped. Karnage came after her.

It seemed that even Death wanted nothing to do with her, so long as Karnage was alive. Time and time again he would come to her rescue, and try to explain himself. But the asura didn't understand it. Why would he want to save her? He had no reason; he did so because he could. In a way it angered her. She hated that he seemed to only be bothering her on a whim. She wanted to die but he did not allow her. She felt like a prisoner to him, which didn't help since he was rather intent on making sure she never escaped him. But while she was forced into his company, he never really did anything to her. Some of the time, she actually began to enjoy the traveling the two did. Karnage was exploring the world, as he was a stranger to these lands. The asura herself was in awe at the places they saw, and the things that people did. Carnivals, fairs, competitions. When faced with enemies, Karnage protected her. When they entered towns, neither of them were ran out by the towns folk. Karnage tried his best to show the asura the world they lived in. For all it's horrors, there was beauty in it.

When the asura was eighteen, Karnage showed her something. He called it a gun. A weapon that gave power to the weak. He taught her how to use it, and it's many variances. but he also told her of the weight of power that she would have to be responsible for, as well as making her think long and hard for why she uses it. Even now, while the asura increases her skills, she still wonders what she does with her power. For now she follows Karnage, hoping to somehow repay him for the life he showed her. One day however, she plans to leave the nest and live on her own two feet. Until than, she just takes things one day at a time.

Personality: Despite how her life has treated her, the asura now wants to do nothing more than to become stronger to protect others like her. To give them strength when they had nothing. How she's suppose to do that she isn't sure. She has a lot of heart, but not a lot of thought. When given the choice between being good and being lawful, she chooses to be good. She believes that everyone had a choice, and many tend to make bad choices in their lives. But they have the choice of redemption regardless of their past. She's forgiving and merciful in a way, but when push comes to shove, you don't want to know how she's like when she's not forgiving or merciful.

Skills: The asura is very knowledgeable with firearms, and with the right materials she can make her own bullets and guns. She also is very well read thanks to looking through Karnage's many, many journals, though they usually just offer a guideline of what to do rather than any actual skills. The asura herself is very perspective; nothing escapes her senses, not even lies. When it comes to finding things, she likes to think that she's the best. She's also pretty good at hiding herself, helpful since she's actually rather physically weak despite being an asura. Even her current conditioning makes her only strong enough to use her weapons. The asura has also been practicing some magic she read from Karnage's journals, mostly minor summoning magic to summon small items to her, like ammo. The largest thing she's ever summoned were her weapons.

Equipment: She uses two hand guns, a shotgun, and has two magazine-fed bolt-action rifles, though she's trying to figure out how to make it automatic. She also has used her knowledge on bullet making to create some explosives, though they're fairly weak. She has a dagger and an axe, but they are rarely used as weapons; the knife is for utility and the axe for trimming Karnage.

Other: Karnage has come to call the asura Seraph, though while she responds to it if he calls her that, she merely thinks of it as some sort of nickname for whom she thinks of as an adopted father. Seraph despises other Asuras, and often thinks of shooting them when no one else is around. She usually has more self control than that, but the thoughts are still there.
