[OOC] Knighthood- Closed

[Grin]

and @kingfisher continuing with what Merlin said, perhaps you can PM me and discuss what you'd want for your character? I have a couple of ideas to make your character a pirate captain relevant to Blackwing, since there are many smaller component ships attached to it (All about the size of the ship from the movie Sinbad.) Which are legitimate ships you could possibly own as your own. Just a thought. :)

@Themerlinhawk

It does.

[Themerlinhawk]

@TracyarmavHush you

[Themerlinhawk]

Okay @grin@tracyarmav@monochromatic rainbow I'm going to smush you three into one collab with me just as soon as I get Megelis extricated from his current position. So we will do a follow up collab. So Rainbow and I will wrap up our current one and do a planning one which wont include Megelis, but it will have everyone else who will be looking for people to blow shit up and just generally cause problems for Southgate prison security.

[vietmyke]

Still here. Still drowning under coursework.

[Antediluvixen]

@Themerlinhawk Blowing shit up is one of my specialties, along with fucking shit up, burning shit down, pulling off that shit, not believing this shit, kicking people's shit in, and ripping off heads and shitting down necks.

@Monochromatic Rainbow

That last sounds a bit uncomfortable, what with their blood coming up out of their necks so forcefully...

[Themerlinhawk]

[Antediluvixen]

@Tracyarmav I am Gunnery Sergeant Laska, your senior drill instructor.

[Plank Sinatra]

Name: Jackson Curtis Pulliam

Alias/Nickname: J.C. ["Jace"]

Appearance:

Age: 24

Race: Human

Personality: He tends towards natural surliness and dry-witted disregard for others, devoting most of his words to critiques, nitpicks, or petty barbs directed at those around him. Jackson is cool and calculating enough from behind cover, but is pretty clearly a firebrand at heart - often recklessly moving to a less advantageous spot of cover if it gives him a better fight or allows him a stab or a punch at the enemy's throat. He's not a bad guy to have around when you're sharing a few beers - mostly because, "begrudgingly," there are very few people in Angel's Landing that he wouldn't buy a beer for - but expect yourself to get your balls broken into fragments if you become too close to him. Jackson is a Man of the Sun, and proud of it. Being a knight is a dream come true, even if it sounds a bit more idealistic than you'd think he would appreciate. Truth is, it's just about the coolest damn thing on the planet to him, being a part of the Tower of Stars. That enthusiasm translates better through punches than it does good cheer, that's all. It's a toxic masculinity thing.

Biography/history: Jackson lived a pretty unremarkable life in a low part of Angel's Landing. Money was tight, there was gang trouble constantly, but the kid lived a pretty lowkey life, not bothering to butt in and get into any scraps. His family, naturally, was furious. Four generations of vigilante justice left a lot of things ingrained in a family, good and bad, and the simple fact was that Jackson was more content to dick around with some local broad and let her eat the family out of house and home than he was to get up and punch the dogshit outta some scum of the earth. There were demons running around this place, for Exandra's sake! What point was wearing God's Heart on your sleeve, he heard a million times, if you're not willing to channel it!?

It was only three years ago that he decided to step up and get willing. On a crawl with his old man, the bar they were currently squabbling at was held up by some local thugs demanding a protection racket. Jackson managed to get out of things pretty well intact, but his dad was beaten comatose for months and God's Heart was stolen. No doubt someone had taken the glove for something fancy that could be pawned off to a weapon's collector. No doubt it had been headed to some warehouse to be boarded up and collect dust until it made a return on investment. No doubt that if the gang had been given half a chance, the family heirloom might have slipped through the fingers of the Pulliams forever.

It made it one block.

Using his comically-oversized "knife" to great effect, Jackson eviscerated the bicep of the thug who'd put on God's Heart, and when he pulled the glove off and put it on himself, he felt his life imbue with new purpose. Fighting off as many of the gang members as he could - to the point of good sense, of course - he doubled back and got his dad to a hospital. He would have written the whole thing off as a fluke if his father hadn't woken up from his beating five days later and, upon hearing of what had transpired in the aftermath of the assault, conferred God's Heart onto his once-wastrel son full time. All he asked was that Jackson use it as he saw best. The young fighter was more than happy to oblige, and his trail of offenses and defenses of local turf in Angel's Landing - plus an increasing desire for a larger scale theatre than smuggling and protection rackets - led him to the Tower of Stars.

Reason for recruitment: At the age of 24, it's about time someone whipped him into shape, and if no one was going to volunteer he might as well seek out something that lets him grab that chance by the balls. Maturing is good enough; maturing into a paragon for all humanity to follow? A goddamn knight? Nobody in their right mind wouldn't seek that out.

Strength of Will: Unnatural

Magic: None developed, though there's a potential for Abjuration magic that sometimes manifests in combination with God's Heart.

God relations: Kind of slaps Exandra's name onto a crusade now and again. Mostly a humanist who fights for the sake of humans, though, so don't expect to hear him screaming on behalf of the Will of Judgement every time he cracks a guy's rib.

Tech: Left arm: God's Heart - A metal glove cutting off on the phalanges that never leaves Jackson's left hand. When the young knife fighter cracks the knuckles on his left hand, the glove expands into a lobstered steel gauntlet-vambrace combination, chased with purple and silver lines of metal that call to mind circuitry running along a chip. The fingers expand as well, ending in bright talons tipped with the same threads of color. The glove has been in Jackson's family for five generations, and is alleged to be an artifact of Exandra, blessed with the strength to strike injustice from the very hearts that dare go up against God's. Personally, Jackson has knocked out plenty of things with the glove, but there's still enough injustice in the world that he's not quite willing to call it one way or the other.

Right arm: Devil's Tongue - A nineteen-and-a-third inch Bowie "knife," titanium-alloyed. Very, very loosely considered a knife. Often worn vertically along Jackson's torso, underneath the knight's jacket. Nothing particularly special about it, other than an odd instance in which the weapon reacts poorly to the very touch of God's Hand. This requires Jackson to wield his blade with one hand and forces him to catch any blows in the solid steel of the other.

Possessions/items/property: Leather jacket, silver with violet lapels and cuffs. Empty bandoleer, slung over shoulder opposite Devil's Tongue. Ceramic cookie jar, unique sky blue color. Vehemently denies hand painting was involved. [Hand painting was involved.]

Skills: "Knife" fighting. Perhaps it helps that his knife is more along the lines of a leaf-bladed sword, but Jackson has always been handy with it regardless. Also a somewhat decent kickboxer, though he relies on the Hand to give him a good slice of protection and the oomph of steel smacking on face or into chest. If the laughably contrived 'drinking contest' ever comes along, you want this man on your team.

Misc: Theme music.

[Themerlinhawk]

@Plank SinatraI like it. The funny thing is the more straight forward the character the less problems. He fills in the unnatural Will Niche nicely. Good job

[Sekritter]

Okay @grin@tracyarmav@monochromatic rainbow I'm going to smush you three into one collab with me just as soon as I get Megelis extricated from his current position. So we will do a follow up collab.

@Themerlinhawk

My bad, I should be able to post and get that moving along later tonight, tomorrow at the latest.

[Kingfisher]

and @kingfisher continuing with what Merlin said, perhaps you can PM me and discuss what you'd want for your character?

@Grin

PMed you what I've come up with so far. Thanks for offering to help me out with this one!

[Wind Wild]

Aaand Akime's CS is finally completed. If you're reading the IC, take a look at her companions as they'll appear in her intro. :)

[Kingfisher]

Per Grin's suggestion I've made some revisions to my CS, and think I have it in an adequate state to submit. Hope its acceptable!

Jaelith

Name: Moriyah Jaelith Tenami

Alias/Nickname: Jaelith/ The Moon Childe

Appearance:

Jaelith is a big girl, with a broad hips and a large frame. A good portion of her weight is carried in her protruding stomach, and her pale thighs brush together. Her legs have a decent amount of muscle to them, whereas her arms have a slightly flabby texture. Cellulite creeps over her body, and she is large breasted.

Her eyes have a silvery greyish texture to them, resembling small pools of melted steel, and dark red hair tumbles down over her shoulders.

(Somwhere between these two)





Age: 19

Race: Human of Norsaki descent.

Personality: At her core, Jaelith is an opportunist. She has a keen eye for manipulating situations to her advantage, and knows all too well how to play people off of one another. She knows best how to pull the right strings which mean she can live another day, and this survivalist mind-set is carried with her at all times.

She can be charming, flirtatious, funny, and warm, but her bubbly exterior is quick to melt away when the situation demands it, and she has no qualms about putting the lives of others on the line to save her own neck.

Biography/history: Born in the icy peeks of north Galendar, Jaelith was raised as the daughter of the chief of a Norsaki tribe known as the Tenami. As the chief’s seventh born, Jaelith was revered amongst her people as the ‘Moon Childe’, a prestigious title for those of royal blood and potent necromantic abilities, per ancient Norsaki custom.

Despite the harsh conditions she was surrounded by, Jaelith lived a pampered childhood, worshiped by those around her, and had every luxury that was available afforded to her by her adoring clan.

Jaelith’s indulgent lifestyle met its end when a mysterious magical plague which would come to be known as the ‘Pale Mist’ swept through her people’s camp, snuffing out almost all the clan in a single night. Banding together with the few remaining Tenami, Jaelith used her necromancy to raise the fallen clansmen, and set off in a vessel constructed from what remained of their camp, which she dubbed ‘The Howling Tempest’.

Setting sail on the Howling Tempest, Jaelith and her undead crew raided the seas as ferocious pirates, and were unmatched until they came into contact with Lady Marrowblade, who ultimately bested them after a brief struggle.

Reason for recruitment: Seeing the potential in Jaelith, Raven recruited her as a member of her crew, and by extension Jaelith has travelled with her on the Pirate Queen’s return to the Tower of Stars.

Strength of Will: Potent

Magic: As the Moon Childe of the Tenami, Jaelith is imbued with a mastery of Necromantic magic. She is able to raise multiple undead minions all at once and bind them to her will, as was demonstrated by the fact that the crew of the Howling Tempest were almost exclusively undead sailors under her control.

Given her prominent status as Moon Childe, Jaelith’s powers of necromancy are extremely potent, and her undead minions are more resilient and agile than those of an average necromancer.

God relations: Under Norsaki custom, Moon Childe are worshiped as gods amongst their people, so as far as Jaelith is concerned she herself is a goddess.

However, amongst Norsaki culture, Yishreenok is worshiped indirectly, as the embodiment of the moon. Whilst Jaelith believes herself to be channelling the Moon’s power, she is in fact utilizing Yishreenok’s dark magic.

Tech: Jaelith wields an advanced, three round burst, machine pistol, which is usually holstered to her waist. It fires cryogenic ammunition, which has a chance to freeze its targets in a literal icy prison upon impact.

Jaelith also carries a monomolecular Cutlass on her person. The cutlass is made from alchemically bonded molecules which are reinforced with arcane enchantments, giving it the ability to cut through most surfaces and armours.

Skills: As listed above, Jaelith is an apt manipulator, and her cataclysmic knowledge of necromancy makes her a deadly opponent.

Misc: Jaelith’s body is adorned with extravagant jewellery from her pirating days, and her nose, ears, and belly button all carry some kind of piercing. A single gold stud pierces her nose, she has three gold rings in her left ear and two on her right, and an emerald-studded ring sits in her belly button.

What a morbid crew, we seem to have a significant following of Yishreenock in our little party.

@Tracyarmav

It probably says something about us as people.

[Themerlinhawk]

@KingfisherGood, and I like how you chose a different name for Yishreenok. Crow worships the god as Vulture and there are lots of other names for all the gods so feel free to use different names and all that for them @Plank Sinatraand you're still good

Gracias! So is Jaelith approved?
