Here's my second character Animus.

Marianne

Name: Marianne
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Kingdom: Sky Kingdom
Personality:
Marianne is quite the interesting persona to all that happen to stumble upon her. Despite the fact that she’s a dark mage and generally looked upon with fear and scorn for meddling in the forbidden arts, she is soft-spoken and polite a good majority of the time. So much so in fact, that she often stresses the proper difference between a lady and a heathen to anyone caring to listen.

That being said, Marianne’s favorite topic of discussion would have to be the many ways in which to incapacitate her foes. She’s the kind of person who would gladly explain to you when and how you’ll die over a cup of tea. She does not fear death, claiming that death is only the next stage in Atro’s course. Of course, that doesn’t excuse her rather…odd habits.

She’s called the Corpse Collector for a reason.

One such habit seems to be a fascination with eyes. Human eyes, dragon eyes…really anything that moves around in the socket and blinks. Probably has something to do with her covered right eye, though she’ll momentarily drop the regal air and proceed to go into something akin to a panic attack whenever people mention it.

And yet despite all of these…interesting features, Marianne is a person that genuinely cares for those around her. That is, those who can tolerate her poetic and morbid nature. Of course, with friendship comes loyalty and protection. The others may be bound by their morality, but Marianne is a girl who is willing to do any and all things for the sake of her friends. Anything…even if it means taking a few lives through dirty manners.

Post Example

“Oh, but don’t you think his eyes are so wonderful sir? Just look!”

Smiling at the traveler, Marianne leaned in to gently pry the dead man’s eye lid open. Her fingers and thumb gently caressed the iris, as if treating a wounded animal or comforting a newborn. It was…well, really creepy if one had to be blunt with her.

“You can tell from that little speck in his lower corner that he died believing in what he fought for. And that he was scared. Really, really, really scared. It’s funny sir!”

Suddenly, the edge of her fingers began to glow with an inky purple smoke. She was using dark magic to do something…without warning or notice, she quickly plucked the dead man’s eye right out of his socket. A soft plop sound was faintly heard as the dark deed was done. Grinning widely, she held up the dripping orb for the now trembling traveler to see. The iris was a rich blue in tint.

“Oops. Never mind. I suppose I didn’t need your help anyway? No, that’s not right…I guess I just wanted an audience. ”

She giggled happily before placing the severed eye into a small pocket on her dress.

“Nosferatu," she began to explain. "It’s really a handy little spell, right? The user grows strong by taking the victim’s life and stamina. Or, that’s how it’s supposed to go I think.”

Turning around, she was about to plunder the second one when she sensed the air around them shift. She turned back to notice that the Crimson Hound’s presence was soon fading. Sighing, she gave the corpse one more longing look before making up her mind.

“The Crimson Hound is leaving without us sir, so it’s best for us to take our leave now, lest we lose track of her. I hear she’s still got some pretty cool looking eyes herself. Isn't that why you want to meet her too? You came here to meet her, right? Because she’s got awesome eyes...right?”

Not caring for a real answer to her questions, Marianne grabbed the man’s hand with the palm that held the eye, smearing blood and eye fluid all over his figure. She eagerly began to pull him along in the direction of the Crimson Hound. She didn’t take more than five feet before pausing.

“By the way mister, about you…it looks like you have two different colored eyes yourself.”

She turned around and flashed him a smile.

“If you die on me…promise me I can have them. Ok?”

Her tone immediately changed once more as she whirled around and continued to make haste for her big sister. Just what was with this girl?

Equipment: Apart from her eye-patch, Marianne is usually found with a variety of body parts on her figure. Be it an eye, severed finger, or something much more gruesome, chances are that if it grows on the body, Marianne has collected it in some way. Furthermore, she carries her trusty grimoire and personal diary, Lazarus around at all times.

Ability/Magic/Technology: Marianne’s grimoire is named Lazarus for good reason. As a mage that practices in the dark arts, her magical prowess is unnaturally high for someone her age. Of course, such power does wonders in corroding the mentality of her person, making her unstable at times. Her most potent technique involves stealing the life of her enemies and using the resulting force to heal her own figure.

Though despite her eerily powerful control over the unnatural and…just plain disturbing forces, her mastery over the dark arts leaves her vulnerable to lighter arcane magics. That, and she hates bright magic due to it being hard to look at.

Name: Why yes, hello there, my name is Duke Adolphus Lucian Von Ludendorff
Age: 32
Gender: A fine Gentleman
Appearance:
5'4", Adolphus has a bit of a Napolean complex. He has blond hair and green eyes. Under his armor and puffy sleeves he has a sticky frams with powerful arms. He is also very proud of his fine mustache and beard.
Kingdom: Earth
Persona: The Quintessential Gentleman, Adolphus was born and raised as a leader, He is brave, courageous and utterly batshit insane. He deems walking around with those ostentatious clothes to be practical and carries a stem powered hand held Gatling gun, but chooses to rush in to use his sword for no other reason than cause he can.

Post Example: "Ah what a beautiful day," A man thought, clothed in out-dated and obvious clothing, and carried a large multi-barreled gun and a zweihandler dragging at his side as he paced before his men, "The sun is out, the sky is clear..." when a gunshot was heard, and barely missed the man, instead hitting the shield of the riflemen behind him. "THAT WAS RUDE OLD SPORT!" the man yelled at the shooter, a group of Water Kingdom pirates, who he had chased to a castle after burning their ships. Now his men were spread into 4 blocks of 15 men wide and 2 men deep. Sounding his horn, the man began briskly marching towards the occupied castle. Bringing his large Gatling gun to bear, the noble listened to the fife and drum play in the wind. As he marched, he saw the gates open, and the gang of 100 or so pirates poured out on horses. They were charging straight at the stout man, who calmly began winding up his gun, while shouting, "Steady!...Aim!...FIRE!" to his men. As he said fire, the monster in his hands had wound up, and lead bullets began falling from the the chamber to his right. 5 riders and their horses vanished, and 30 others fell to the barrage of the man's rifleman. Still firing, the man advanced towards the charge, blowing 10 more of the pirates to shreds. The second row of rifleman opened fire, taking another 20 men. Shouting once more than man dropped his gun, and pulling the Zweihandler from his side, he shouted "Affix Bayonets!...CHARGE!" Sprinting with the large sword, the short man rammed the blade through a horses neck, and into it's riders groin. Slashing out wards, the man spun around and cut off the legs of another charging horse before beheading the rider. With unusual grace for a man his size, the man slew another 10 men single-handedly.

Standing among the corpses, the man walked to the few pirates that had surrendered and said, "You are now my prisoners, old sports. That means it is my duty to bring you to the Assembly, but as the Duke I believe I have certain... liberties. So I Duke Adolphus Lucian Von Ludendorff, do hereby convict you all as guilty. You shall be trasported and hanged as soon as we return to the capital."

Equipment:

Gatling Gun

Zweihandler

Ability/Magic/Technology: Just a really aggresive polite Earth kingdom noble that's compensating really hard.

I realized this is not going to work out if everyone has to keep waiting on me.

Obviously some people have frustrations with it already since I live in an entirely different timezone, 10-12 hours from most of you guys. And that its test period for me right now (and I'm going on a 4 day holiday overseas this thurs to sun). I don't want to ruin the momentum by saying I can't post much till next week so...

Is anyone here willing to be a co-gm and handle the reins of this thing while I'm not available? He or she will have to help handling the various NPCs and coming up with monsters while subtly directing the RP to its hidden plot (huehuehue). It would also help in the long run.

Give me a PM and I'll discuss with you.
