[OOC] Wings Askew

[LostBrotherGrimm]

This world's physics don't allow Eli to be haunted by all the coffee beans he's crushed over the years? I'll assume no. :(

[Mokley]

@Disciple Cain Good question! I've purposely left that vague to see what sort of characters would come up, as this is a completely made-up world with "Low-Tech" as the only cap. So far we've got hang gliders and soda cans as the top of the technology -- it's probably a weird mix, and that's awesome. xD

[Disciple Cain]

Well I'm about to throw in a tattoo artist and I'd like to discuss her knowing a couple of the other characters. Blin is on that list right now. I haven't had time to review the others because I get really short ten minute stint to actually check in and say anything.

Gaius

NAME:
Gaius Stronurr (Straw-Neeur)

~ABSTRACT~
A hardy soldier with a kind heart and a hard head

~APPEARANCE~


~HISTORY~
Gaius has worked under the old king as one of his generals for many years, maintaining peace throughout his Liege's kingdom as every good knight should aspire to. He is known far and wide as the 'joyful juggernaut' for the stories of adventure and glory he would tell, despite them all being make-belief and cliche to no end. Regardless, all seem to appreciate his company, and he enjoys his position under the king with a humble demeanor, and no desire to seek true glory, fame, or wealth. He lives only to serve, and make the kingdom, who he'd long adopted as part of his family, happy and prosperous for the many years to come.
He lives within the castle, away from his mother and father, who are simple woodsmen that live a quaint life on the kingdom's edge. Gaius rarely sees his parents, but on the off chance that he's free to visit the countryside, they have always welcomed him with open arms, and a batch of fresh cookies to sate his undeniable gluttony.
When he heard the king's order to search for the fallen stars, Gaius was of course one of the volunteers to step forward. Although he knows that he'd be leaving behind quite a set of shoes to fill, he was confident that his abilities and experiences would be absolutely necessary in acquiring the fallen star for his people.

~PERSONALITY~
Gaius is rather sociable, and open to everyone he speaks with. In a group, he'd be the first to project his presence and start a conversation, one that he'd very much like to be the center of. Although he aspires to make his friends happy, and stray away from conflict whenever possible, Gaius is no pushover, and will not be made a fool of if he can help it. Sometimes his kindness does get the better of him though, making him look like an utterly gullible fool at the worst possible times. Gaius does not seek glory, but he is extremely confident in himself, and has a hard time recognizing his own flaws. It doesn't make him look like a pompous ass, but it often leaves him extremely disappointed with himself whenever he fails to accomplish whatever he sets out to do.

@tex

TARKUS, MY HERO. CARRIER OF CASUALS. FLIPPER OF GOLEMS.

also i'll probably post an application, if you will have me.

[tex]

@Pacha DOES YOUR SIGNATURE CHANGE RANDOMLY? I LOVE IT.

[Mokley]

@tex Terrific! Gaius sounds like the oldest of the group so far -- and a loyal personality that definitely compliments the cast. Approved!

With this group of characters, you guys might not even need me, haha!

[Tombprince]

Well I'm about to throw in a tattoo artist and I'd like to discuss her knowing a couple of the other characters. Blin is on that list right now. I haven't had time to review the others because I get really short ten minute stint to actually check in and say anything.

@Disciple Cain

Oo do all Heroes have tats? Let me check with Sir Gaius, he knows all the Heroes out there XD Send me a PM about it please.

[tex]

@Tombprince I'm down with some Ink, hella tight yo.

Also, since Gaius is technically a political figure (Not really) I'd imagine he knows everyone/most people and vice-versa.

[LostBrotherGrimm]

Eli wants a tat! :p

[Tombprince]

@tex@Disciple Cain
Sir Gaius fills Blin with stories of tattooed Heroes, Blin goes and gets one, 'cos he is a big Hero...and then goes and cries like a girl at the pain of having it done XD

Braum

NAME: Braum Jormungandr

Age: 20
Height: 6'3

ABSTRACT: An old knights son with the heart of a lion.

APPEARANCE:

Big Picture

DETAIL:
There isn't much to Braum as a person. No hidden agendas, no secret tragic past, nor a prophetic legacy he must live up to. Braum is pretty transparent in that he just wants to do good and protect people. He's never one to seek glory or attention, it's surprisingly easy for him to just fade into the background despite his size. However you will find yourself against a stone wall if you try to impose your will over his, Braum is his own man and values personal freedom above almost everything.

Equipment:
Hang-glider, a little bigger than what most of the villagers are used to but otherwise works fine
Old Adventure Gear, A sword two steps away from falling apart and a knapsack that can hold stuff
A Little Leather, reinforced leather that covers the left shoulder and heart, just barely better than wearing clothes
Lucky Charm, an intricately made, but tarnished, compass that refuses to point North

[Ghost Queen]

@Mokley
He's a little bare bones but he's all I got to work with until my writers block clears.

[Mokley]

@Ghost Queen He's charming! :D Totally approved!

[Pacha]

I was originally going to create a man-moth that sucked at gliding but since we're all having humans, here's a human that sucks at gliding.

BARD

NAME - Thema Absher

ABSTRACT - A washed-up bard looking for inspiration.

APPEARANCE

Image

Thema stands at 5'3". Her hair is almost always tied up. She has considerably darker skin compared to everyone else and tends to wear extremely light and loose clothing, even in the winter. She wears quite ornate jewelry, however, they are all heirlooms from her mother.

DETAILS

Personality:
Thema is a musician and quite a good one at that. She tends to be really jokey and can't take a lot of stuff seriously. Her main goal in life is to find a song that truly can state how she feels about the world; that, however, is hard because while she can write lyrics, said lyrics don't quite have an emotional impact (to her, at least). She also sucks at gliding. Like, really hard. She's okay at gliding, but doesn't know how to land.

Equipment:
Thema's Glider - While it appears to be normal, the thing has been completely destroyed and rebuilt multiple times. As such, the frame breaks extremely easily, but it can be repaired within minutes.
Thema's Lute - Plays nice sounds. Tunable. Thema plays it quite well.
Ornate Jewelry - A heirloom from Thema's mother. Looks nice and is made from rather rare metals. It doesn't appear to have any immediate use.

XCOM just finished downloading so it's a bit bare bones.

[Mokley]

Haha aww poor Thema! She'll find her way. :D Approved!

XCOM just finished downloading so it's a bit bare bones.

@Pacha

It was nice knowing you. xD

[chukklehed]

can I still join this, and if so can I play an amnesiac?

[Mokley]

@chukklehed Yes and yes! :D

[chukklehed]

sweet, one amnesiac coming right up.

nevermind that question you didn't see, it was kinda dumb

Can I just say I love that there's a Gaius clone named Forrest who looks a bit like Stahl played by someone who's avatar is Kaden?

[chukklehed]

NAME: Blank

ABSTRACT: A mysterious teen who crashed on the Island.

APPEARANCE:


DETAIL:

History: Two years ago, Blank crashed on the Island riding a strangely shaped hang glider, carrying only his bag of supplies and his sword. He was taken in by one of the families after admitting he had no memories, but since then only a vague sense of some purpose has returned to him.

Personality: Blank is quite and thoughtful, but kind hearted. He might be a warrior, since he has some skill with the sword, but he knows as little as a newborn, relying on instinct to interact with people. He tries to avoid contact with people he doesn't know, almost adorably shy, and is always happy to let someone else take the lead.

Equipment:
Sword
Bag containing dried food and water.
Strange hang glider.

I watched World Break recently and wanted to try a character gradually regaining skills and abilities they had forgotten instead of learning new ones as they went.
