[OOC] Astoria Chronicles - Artorias

[Ves]

I'm cool with that. He mostly only uses his lightning/electricity magic to paralyze things.

[CorruptedShadow]

Alright. Just know that it's not particularly strong enough to do much harm. However, with your Drow heritage, I'm sure you can do without any real harmful magic considering rogues are crazy ass people, yo.

Appearance: Name: Daregim Silverdredger Status: Alive Age: 62 years old (Or Dwarven equivalent.) Race: Dwarf History: Daregim was born to the owners of a small trading business in one of the Dwarven City States. Both of his parents rarely spent on much of anything lavishly; conversely, his parents donated much money to the church, and raised him and his siblings to be just as devout as they were, if not more. Daregim's greatest dream as a child was to be apart of the clergy and to sing the praises of The Mother along with a congregation. His parents, ensuring that their children gained an industrious attitude, made their children work for them and others while they were not being schooled. Daregim rarely had time to play, but when he did, he pretended to be a clergyman taking care of holy artifacts, blessing something or someone, or just singing hymns. For many years he thought that he would become a member of the clergy; so he studied as much as he could about the religion, and had theological dialogue with his local priest. Ultimately, his dream did not come true. Daregim had been travelling with a number of pilgrims to a village on the outskirts of the city-state, when a group of bandits attacked him and the pilgrims. In the chaos of the situation, Daregim saw three people looking about frantically for an escape. A middle-aged Dwarf man, and a Human woman with a young child. After little thought, Daregim helped the mother and child to escape the scene and alert the authorities. In turn, he had done something no Dwarf should do; abandon another Dwarf. Or at least that is what he had told himself. To make up for this lack of action, Daregim banished himself from his City-State, taking some funds with him to live on for a few years and contemplate what he had done. By now Daregim had viewed himself as unworthy of the priesthood. So he decided to do something else with his life. He bought two years worth of weapons training in polearms, shortarms, and shields. His funds running dangerously low, and halfway finished with his two years of training, Daregim hired himself out cheaply as a bodyguard. Given poor equipment on his first job, Daregim used the rest of his money to buy a good shortaxe and shield, sure that all would turn out well. His first job, and nothing eventful had happened. Daregim was paid, and for many years onward, he was a bodyguard for a number of people; eventually he added to his arsenal a pollaxe, and studied how to use it. Daregim eventually set his eye on adventuring, and continues to do so now despite his age. About Them: Daregim grew up in a staunchly religious household; he loves The Mother, and hates Artorias. He doesn't take kindly to blasphemy, and while he can hold his tongue on some issues at times, religion is one of his buttons. He can spend hours talking to clergymen about The Mother. Daregim sometimes likes to poke fun at the serious, though this usually only happens when he has drink in him. While he has no qualms about saving the Human woman and child, he feels deep regret that he didn't save his fellow Dwarf as well. He rarely talks of this event. Weaponry: Finely crafted pollaxe, Shortaxe & kiteshield Etc: None

@Gendarme

Accepted!

SECRET

Appearance,Do ignore the GIANT ASS GEAR

Name: Apexium Machina Duo , "Duo" Status: Alive Race: Artificial Construct History: Duo was intended to be the first of his kind, a golem if you will, something that was completely fake and wasn't real at all yet at the same time WAS. The inspiration for his creation was based around the foolish idea of using him as a product and stringing him around, however this was vastly underestimating all the things he could and eventually will do. However when not being shown off Duo was simply locked within the confines of the traveling caravan and not allowed out, all the advantages of traveling like seeing the make of the land or meeting people was utterly avoided. The caravan masters weren't necessarily mean and didn't completely treat duo like an object, they supplied him with what he needed and on occasion gave him books to read. These texts enthralled him and slowly but surely helped him to develop a profound sense of curiosity, particularly about organic life. About them: Duo is very...odd...he has a habit of asking awkward intropersonal questions to sate his desire for knowledge, however that's just one aspect of his personality spectrum. He tends to seem a bit aloof due to his nonhuman perspective but this CAN be changed with the proper development of his human condition. And it most likely will ; His personality tends to develop the more he interacts, the direction pointing away from zap zap robot death bot to a caring suit of tin metal. Weaponry: Shoulder gears , Wasn't intended to be a weapon but was modified as a product placement technique or rather teaser. Etc: DESPITE being metal he isn't indestructible, the metal is pretty light and malleable which also makes it not very durable. He's kept animated by those handy little gears (ESPECIALLY NEAR THE CHEST) exposed on his body and if they are stopped he'll "die", the exposure of these gears allows for easy modification and repair work but is an Achilles heel. Those shoulder gears work by "popping" off onto the surface of his palms and then respectively interlock, and then are spun VERY quickly to simulate something akin to a buzz-saw ,despite looking blunt...Those gears are sharp enough to get the job done. Whatever that may be or amount to.

[CorruptedShadow]

Hm, interesting character! I approve of it.

[Redneckatron]

Gendarme, is it too soon to say I love you? Your character makes me swell with joy.

[CorruptedShadow]

Gendarme, is it too soon to say I love you? Your character makes me swell with joy.

@Redneckatron

I am in the same boat.

[Gendarme]

I...What? How? I'm a wee bit confused at the moment. Still, I appreciate the compliments!

[CorruptedShadow]

Your Dwarf is beautiful. Accept it.

[Gendarme]

Sorry if I came across as rude there; it's just rare I receive compliments. Sort of in shock for a moment haha. I accept that my Dwarf is beautiful then!

[CorruptedShadow]

IC WILL BE MADE NOW. GET READY.

[Tyrant from the West]

[TheTwistedOne]

{exactly how I imagined her :o} Name: Alexis Stangle Status: Alive Age: 25 Race: Greater Human History: Alexis comes from a family of wealthy farmers. The farm belonged to her family for generations and have been the sole provider for the capital city for many years. She worked around the farm from a young age alongside the Vel. (Her father owned Vel that lived and worked on his land as Hunters and caring for the livestock, however, he treated them like family opposed to salves.) Golben, one Vel in particular noticed Alexis connection and love for nature and animals. He saw potential in her for something greater than the life already set out for her. To just live the rest of her days a farmer’s daughter till she was married off would be a waste, and so she became his pupil and he became her teacher. She trained many years and very hard to become a great Huntress, but this wasn’t an easy profession of men. The Vel were pure and connected to their natural surroundings it’s easy to see why they were great hunters and how it would come natural to them, however this never stopped her. She loved what she did, and there was always good coin in hunting for the city. About Them: Meek and kind at heart, but can be blunt and stubborn if pushed too far and agitated. It’s no surprise she has a respect and love for all Vel having grown up around them. She finds herself often studying people, observing them. Hunting or not it was important to her to always know someone’s next move. Weaponry: A long bow and spear. Etc: Alexis is always accompanied by a Red-Tailed Hawk she named Talon and the Timber Wolf, Frost; they are her eyes and ears, given to her by Golben when both animals were still very young, but old enough to be apart from their mother. She doesn’t have the advantages of the Vel Hunters so Talon and Frost would become very important to her.

[CorruptedShadow]

Looks good, accepted! We now have one last person remaining, Pyromania. No more CS's other than theirs will be accepted now.

[Pyromania99]

Speaking of Pyromania, here is my character! ___________________________________ Appearance: Mileena is a 5’7” woman. She has fluffy ears on her head with her body covered in a light tanned fur. Her medium length red hair is pulled back and braided at the ends of it. Her yellow eyes pierce through the night, or would if they lit up. She typically wears her medium armor which is a mix of metal and leather. Her tail is let free from a hole in the back of her outfit. Name: Mileena Keren Status: Alive Age: 26 Race: Avaren History: Mileena was born to a tribe that roamed the plains and peddled wares from place to place. She was taught to be a swords-woman and guard of her people. Still, the tribe life was starting to not be enough for her. She was starting to enjoy fighting greatly by time she was eighteen and had a desire to leave the tribe to go do other things with her life. She started her life as a sell-sword then. She traveled around as a warrior with mostly positive results. About Them: Mileena is a pretty positive thinker. She’s typically always ready with a smile with the exception of combat and some other situations. She’s ready to do what she needs to assist people. . . For a price of course. No mercenary worth their salt would do something amazing for free. Do not expect to cheat her out of her money or one may regret it. She is a Highly skilled Swords-Woman with her many years of experience. She likes to regard herself as an “Acrobatic Swordmaster”. Her form is mostly agility with a shield for offense moreso than defense. Weaponry: Steel Shortsword and a Heater Shield with a few throwing daggers.
