[OOC] Dungeon Punks

[Avanhelsing]

Welp the monks are going to have to fight because Monks and stuff. Such is the way. I think I might add more details to my sheet. I don't know.

@Avanhelsing

Why fight the other monk when you could pay ask him to make the ultimate chicken soup instead? The way I see it, fighting just robs us all of soup-eating opportunities and distracts us from the real prize: Having an IC reason to make the pun "souper, man".

[Savo]

Alright guys, IC should be up later today! Any character sheets should be completed by then. ^-^

@Hexaflexagon

Well... I should probably try and finish that second app then... but after college.

[Merlinimue]

I can make a second character, like an artillerist/demolitionist or long range arms? Maybe a dwarf? Depending on how much variety we need in our cast. I don't know if I can finish it by today though.

[The Roman07]

Hey so are you guys still looking for another character? Id really like to join :)

[JGBPhone]

Who's ready for the amoral and extremely well armed weapons dealer, who's untrained of course.

PS:Oh, Im Joegreenbeen if anyone was wondering.

[The Roman07]

Im thinking of making a Manic and slightly phsycotic Mage...

Rogue/Hunter/Demoman to diversify our combat portfolio

Name: Dogface
Age: Unknown?
Gender: Male
Species: Forest Trickster

Physical Description:

Dogface appears to most as a normal badger… Until you brush his fur the wrong way, in which case you will notice he has many painful spines on his back like a porcupine. There’s also the fact that he can double up on himself or elongate much more than your average badger. At his full length, he appears to be a few inches longer in body than your average badger.

Skillset:

Dogface is very quick in body and wit, a master of lies and deception, trapmaking, explosives, poisons, (Mostly of the hallucinogenic/paralyzing sort) potions, hiding, and climbing. He has a liver of steel, is an expert at pickpocketting, playing poker both fair and dirty, and can teleport short distances, if he’s feeling particularly magical. He can usually summon up some small means of bomb/potionmaking ingredients on the fly if he desperately needs them. Bigger contraptions require more things, of course, and Dogface needs to spend long periods concentrating in order to conjure any amount bigger than a pawfull. If he doesn’t accidentally burn/blow something up in the process… He’s skilled in drunken-style martial arts, and, contrary to real life, the more alcohol he has in his system, the better he gets… But he’d never be able take more than one man and a toddler child on his own. He’s much better suited to forcing his enemies to make mistakes, peppering the battlefield with nuisances and hazards, and letting his enemies destroy themselves. If they happen to be big and scary, he’d rather smell them ahead of time with his keen badger nose and find another way around.

History:

Trickster animals come in many forms, and are mysterious and infuriating creatures. There is one thing that the utmost experts on the matter can confirm about them for sure, though. The vast majority of them are not born, rather they are manifestations of magical energies, namely when an animal gets ahold of (and usually eats) something covered in the magical residue left behind by forest spirits, druids, gnomes, wise hermits, and other people that go to the woods to fool around with the rules of the universe. The result is the most infuriating and cheeky of all of nature’s inventions, the Forest Trickster, talking animals that lead people to their doom. Or just screws around with said man until they leave and/or try to kill them. Occasionally, Forest Tricksters hitch rides on horses and vehicles and go to live in the cities and towns. Dogface is one such badger. He’s been hanging out in various taverns, making lewd comments and practical jokes ever since his arrival.

Psychological Profile:

Dogface is an uncouth, egotistical, hedonistic lech who exudes all the absurdity of the mixed spells that created him. He fancies himself some combination of Sun Tzu and Harald Hardrada, and he’d have you know that he once fought an entire canoe full of alligators and won, or something to similar effect. Like the time when he grabbed a mountain lion by the tail and tied it to a tree. He is motivated by money, compliments, and booze, and nothing will stand in his way between himself and those things… If it does, then he’d rather just walk around it and make that obstacle feel like a real moron.

Goals/Fears

If there’s something more to life than having your back (and ego) massaged by a beautiful handmaiden, singing drunkenly in the taverns, and laughing at the guy covered in the flour he left on the doorsill, Dogface doesn’t seem quite interested in finding it. While he’d like to keep up the appearance that he isn’t afraid of anything, he is afraid of quite a few things, actually. Like huge men with axes, groups of aggressive people, fast, deep rivers, and other things that could cause death in all sapient badgers named Dogface. Secretly, he wishes he were big enough to play sports with humans... Come to think of it, there's a lot of human things he wishes he could do...

Equipment:

• A badger-sized hammer-hatchet
• A bowl
• A simple woodcarving knife
• A small bag of smoke pellets
• A bottle of potent hallucinogenics
• Three porcelain blackpowder grenades
• Caltrops
• A small box of nails (although his spines could also be used for the same thing in a pinch)
• Two decks of 52

Hello are you guys still accepting people?

[The Roman07]

Name: Limus Bernard-Oswald IV (aka Limbo)
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Physical Description:


Standing roughly at 6' Feet exactly, 180 lbs Limbo is a rather tall and slender fellow with lanky appendages. His lean abdomen takes up most of his mass as his stringy and undefined arms hang loosely beside him. Dark brown hair covers his brow and Dark green eyes partially while his pale babyfaces complexion often get him mistaken for a child until his uniquely deep and rhaspy voice give his age away.

Skillset:
Limbo specializes in "Chaotic magic" his unrefined style and slightly altered mind allows him to cast spells that physically alter the world around him. Because magic has a mind of it own sometimes, it normally doesnt go exactly to plan, although this doesnt really matter to Limbo since any effect is better than no effect in his mind. Unlike most mages he cannot manipulate the elements, he was never trained to do so. He instead manipulates the physical structure of those elements, letting the magic do what it wishes. (He cannot turn water into ice or throw a fireball, but he can make solid rock melt like candle wax or make the air unbreathable and have weight.)
Limbos specialty is "Lifting the Veil" creating Rifts in the magical dimensions alternate to this world. Allowing himself and others to cross over. Normally this would turn a person mad due to the twisted nature of the other world, but Limbo is already mad so it has little effect on him. (Cant say the same for those he brings with him though)

Limbo does all these things due to his natural ability to "speak" to the arcane energies around him. Living his whole life in a tower built atop a lay line full of dusty old books and minimal human interaction aside from the spirits across the veil and the magic energy itself. (Yea, hes pretty much insane)

Limbo has no physical weapons training or any self defense training aside from flailing his fists in arkward motions hoping to hit something. He was never taught how to defend himself since everyone he knew wanted him to die anyway.

JUST POSTIN WHAT I GOT SO FAR...

[Merlinimue]

@Avanhelsing
While a kickass Monk-off would be interesting to see who truly is Top Monk, I don't know if that's gonna mesh well with the whole "work together so you don't die" thing.

@Sombrero
Team mascot?!?

[Avanhelsing]

@Merlinimue
Huh? I was thinking a good natured fight....

[Merlinimue]

@Avanhelsing
Oh, I was thinking you meant a battle of ultimate monk supremacy, sorry. Got carried away.

[JGBPhone]

@Sombrero
Team mascot?!?

@Merlinimue

I'm getting a Gaurdians of the Galaxy vibe here.

[Hexaflexagon]

Alright so it looks like I'm a terrible liar. Work decided to kick me in the ass and prevent me from finishing the introductory post which is about half done right now. It should be done today though since I have no consulting visits to do or anything like that to deal with . Meaning that I should get home at a reasonable enough hour to actually finish this damn thing.

[Ogo]

@Hexaflexagon
So this looks pretty awesome. Thanks to Savo for sending me the link xD
If you're still looking for peeps, I've got a Dwarven weaponsmith and his Orcish apprentice that I've been itching to use. Could have it ready sometime after work is over (about seven hours until I'll be home, give or take)

@Merlinimue

I Monk-off all the time, but I wasn't aware that one of them could win over the other. Well, the fact is that one's more of a Dallas from Outsiders with Kung Fu and lightning, and the other one is a metal gorilla version of Jacques from Mortdecai, which are both very un-monkly in application. I mean, they are technically monks in terms of their combat abilities, but they very much differ from monks in terms of equipment, discipline, and ideology... Which, quite honestly, makes them more likely to get into a scuffle than if they were monks...

Pff, Dogface, adorableness aside, makes a terrible mascot. He would obviously be the self-appointed leader.

@JGBPhone

Dogface isn't very Rocket-ey, he's just a poorly rehashed mythological figure. (He was supposed to be a tanuki, but their 'endowments' are a serious self-injuring liability.) Plus, he's a goddamn badger.

[Hexaflexagon]

@The Roman07@Sombrero
Accepted.

@Ogobrogo@Eviledd1984
And yes if you guys want to apply you can. But on that note.

Anyway first IC post is up. We really just a little introductory thing from you guys so that you can introduce your characters before I timeskip us forward to later in the evening to when the actual attack is to occur.
