Cities at War (High-Fantasy) [High Casual]

The sun was slowly rising in the horizon of the east, with stars still just barely spotting the still-dark sky to the west. People were already beginning to get ready for their days. Some had to feed their children before going to work or even sending the children to work. Some had to put on their armors and raise their swords for battle. Some sat in their living room, sipping their tea peacefully. Some are still lying in their beds, sleeping away their troubles and some are just now going to sleep, waiting for the sun to set again.

The world is such a weird place. The ones working for riches are the ones going poor and the ones pouring teas are the ones going rich.

On this particular day, Sandee Mursa, Knight of Earroldir and the one in charge of the Earroldian army was ready for battle before the sun had even begun its journey across the sky. She, along with the entirety of her troops, just knew in their hearts that they would be the ones to end this war. But then again, so thought the ones before them. Such had every army thought. But not every army had Sandee Mursa as their leader.

“Get up, you lazy rats! Your country needs you! Klavos wills us to fight for her honor and peace of the world!” her voice rung out loudly amongst the many tents in which young men and women were sleeping off a hard days training. Usually, it would be her right-hand-man, a noble from an Elven family, that would shout these youngsters out of their cribs, but he was nowhere to be found in the camp on this morning. She had given him an assignment just the day before.

Myths and legends were stirring. Legends of creatures strong enough to end this war at will. He was given the mission of finding out more and, hopefully, finding these creatures and haivng them end this war.
Where he had gone to, though, she knew not.

-===============-

Elias Nihmgor, second in command of the Earroldian army, was not doing what he was supposed to at all. In fact, he was to rise with the sun to silently leave the side of the young man whom he had spent the night with. He was just barely dressed, much less in his armor. With his boots in one hand and his shirt in the other, he limped down the still-empty streets of the outer circle of Earroldir. His armor, weapon and even his horse were still with the trainees, but he knew better than to go get it now. His Lady would have his head on a stake for shinking his duties, even for just a single night.

Rather than serving his own head to an enraged woman, he decided to swing by a small tavern. He had no idea where to start or who to talk to, when it came to his mission. Who would actually know of these creatures? They were only myth, he was sure. If such creatures really did exsist, would they not have ended the war long ago?

He slipped onto one of the stools by the bar, setting his boots on the counter before pulling his shirt over his head, “A glass of red wine, if you please,” he asked politely to the puzzled-looking man behind the bar. Surely, they did not get a lot of half-naked, half-Elves with scars like his in these small taverns. There weren't even a lot of people there, despite it being just barely four in the morning. They had to work in the morning, was his guess.

@TSG;
Glad he's acceptable.
Yeah, I get the "cultural" and reproductive difference. I just wanted to point out that he was careful 'bout not having kids.

@lea;
If he ever finds out that she's a Faerie (you know, with the magical disguise and all), he is going to be all over that. I mean, how many people can brag that they've bagged a Faerie? xD

@Ollum;
Glad you find him sufficient ^_^

When I asked you what you thought of the character, it was more along the line of "is he accepted" than an actual "what do you think. It feels weird to me that my character is just automatically accepted because I am the GM. If you feel anything is off or something, let me know. (And the same about other peoples CSs)

He definitely seems like he gets around, I can say that much. Ashborn won't really mind or care, after all the Ogwundi don't exactly 'get' sex since they reproduce like any other flowering plant. Hell, Ashborn probably has a bunch of children he doesn't know about.

Yeah, he does get around quite a bit. He's an old character of mine that I made up in my teens (explains everything, right?). He has no unknown children, though. He doesn't really take the risk of having a kid with another woman than his wife, since his father would have his head if he was to have a son (given that the child he has with his wife is a girl and sons are preferred) with a woman that was/is not a noble.

Adding a small bit to my character about him taking his elder brother's son as an apprentice, hope it's okay. Just want to make sure he has no reason not to get himself killed.

That's just fine. Getting more history and reasoning in is always good.

ColouredCyan said
Yeah and it sounds like Bumble's his type :P

LOL. Well... Good for him; at least somebody likes him xD

Cities at War (High-Fantasy) [High Casual]

Probably, if anyone actually, you know, lets him has his way xD

And about that... I do have some drawings (yes, I draw, but I'm not good at it) that deciphpers his appearance a bit, but they're... uhh... not exactly... Well, I'd rate them as at least R (for some pretty obvious sexual themes (and at this point I feel obligated to mention that he's Pansexual) and his scars)... Some of them aren't, though.

Cute stuff

Finally got my own computer set up :-D

Added some stuff on the deities (still only got an explanation on Klavos Nevermind, finished it just before supper) in the OP, another Rare Species/Race and added Kalydin to the roster...

And here's my starter character ^_^ Let me hear what you have to say on him.

Elias Nihmgor

General Info
Name:
Elias Nihmgor (Eh-lee-ass Neem-gore)

Age:
Fifty-seven years of age (57)

Sex:
Male ♂

Sexuality:
Pansexual, or Onmisexual as he calls it himself
He is a real freaky masochist

Occupation:
Heir to the Nihmgor Duchy and Second in command of the Earroldian army.

-==============-

Heritage
Species:
Half-breed, Human and Elf

Race:
Human-High Elf

Genetic Attributes:
High Elves are an elegant, dexterous and agile in their movements, whether it be running, jumping, fighting or even falling, they make it all look graceful like a dance.
Humans are intelligent, creative and stubborn. They know what they want and they will get it, whatever it takes.

Physical Genetic Traits:
Pure-born High Elves have platinum blond hair and ice blue eyes. However, this is not Elias case.
From his Elven linage, he has pointed ears; although his ears are nowhere as long long as that of a High Elf would normally be. It is basically just a normal human ear, with a slight point at the top.
He has elegant, regal even, features as well as a slender, acrobatically build body.
From his Human linage, he has chub at his sides from living a rich life, defined muscle, a wider nose than what Elves usually have and an unusual hair color.

Magical Capabilities:
Elves are a very magical creature, and High Elves in particular are very magically capable. The magics of which an High Elf can muster is everything between calling upon the healing force of nature to casting deadly fireballs at their foes. They tend to only be able to go one way or another, though, or the magic gets a bit unpredictable.

-==============-

Appearance
Height:
6'5” or 190cm

Weight:
183lbs or 83kg

Body Type:
The slender, acrobatic build of an Elf, with the light chub of a rich kid on his sides from his human genes.

Hair Color:
Crimson red, some weird mutation happened with his hair from the gorgeus blond of his Elven father's regal strands and the mud brown of his human mother's messy curls that caused his hair to turn out crimson.

Eye Color:
Forest green, from his mother.

Skin Color:
Elven pale (ivory)

Special Traits:
Several scars across his back and sides; mostly lash-marks from a whip and a few burn scars from cigarettes and the like, as well as a series of scars arcoss his left pectoral that reads “HUMAN” in morbididly jagged writing.

-==============-

Talents
Abilities:
Elias has made picking up lovers into a magical skill. With his golden tongue, loads of money and Elfish good looks, he always get the one he wants... or the several ones he want.

Magical Skills:
Elias has very little magical skills to tell of. He can just barely muster a few of the most simple spells in the High Elf repertoire, such as a small, glowing orb that will light his way in darkness, revealing hidden High Elf magically hidden seals and healing very superficial wounds, like scrapes and papercuts.

Combat Skills:
Elias is quite talented at the use of his specially-crafted, magically light and extremely expensive sword. He can, if absolutely needed, use a bow and arrow, but he he finds it racist that everyone thinks Elves can use a bow and arrows.

Domestic Skills:
He can ride a horse, brush a horse, feed a horse, wash a horse and generally just take care of a horse.

-==============-

Interests
Pets:
A horse. Most other nobles have stable boys to take care of their mounts. So does the Nihmgor family, but Elias bonded with his horse. Unlike most other mounts, Elias chose a large, clumsy-looking, but very strong draft horse for his mount. She is white, with black and brown spots and, as he calls it, “furry feet”. Her name is Nirak.

Hobbies
Elias spends the majority of his time training new troops for the Earroldian army, but he does enjoy a good game of cards, a good keg of wine or a, how to put it delicately, satisfying romp.

Collections:
He has a rather crude collection of underwear, either stolen from his past lovers or given to him by them.

-==============-

Personality
Likes:
Dominant women, being spanked or whipped, lots of intercourse and his horse.

Dislikes:
Racists, meek women, going out into battle and cats.

[b]Dreams:
He dreams of seeing this war over so he can go home to his family. He so dearly misses his wife and he has never even met his own daughter.

Fears:
Dying in the battlefield and never getting to see his wife again or ever meeting his daughter.

Favorite Color:
Crimson. He's a bit... conceited.

Favorite Food:
Anything but soup, stew or porridge. The army does not have a lot of resources and after six years, you grow tired of it. He really enjoys a good red wine, though.

-==============-

Biography
Family:
His father, Duke Codose Nihmgor, and his mother, Duchess Silel Nihmgor, has two other children. A daughter, his younger sister, named Analia Nihmgor and a son, his younger brother, named Yoguth Nihmgor.
He is married to a young High Elf lady by the name Naomi and together they have a daughter by the name Alkeehra.

Social Heritage:
He was born the heir to the Nihmgor Duchy as the first son of Duke Codose Nihmgor and his human wife.

Social Standing:
High ranking officer in the Earroldian army, heir to the Nihmgor Duchy, married to a beautiful, Elven, noble woman; his social standing is by far upper class.

Childhood:
Elias had a good childhood. He never needed a thing. He was fed well, washed every day, had new, fancy clothes to wear all the time and all the servants he could wish for to play with.
He changed his hobbies every other day as a child. One day, he wanted to learn how to cook, the next he wanted to go on adventures in the woods behind the mansion. In fact, it was not until he was a young teen that he finally found a hobby that he kept at; swordmanship. He had his father get him his specially crafted sword and a matching shield and armor.
Then, when he was thirteen, it was time to meet his wife-to-be, who was no more than ten at the time. She was just a small girl, but even a moron could tell she was going to be very beautiful. Unfortunately, she was rather shy. She was a meek girl who never said anything unless spoken to and who hid in the skirts of her maid. Elias did not like her at all.
They were married on her eighteenth birthday, though.

Occupational History:
Heir to the Nihmgor Duchy, simple foot soldier and a sea of small promotions within the army all the way up to second in command.

TheSovereignGrave said
Ha, that probably would've ended badly for him. After all, Ashborn is covered in thorns and poisonous to ingest. XD

I can imagine him trying to have been eaten by something large in the past, only to grab onto the inside of their throat and thrash around.

Well, actually, the creature I was originally planning to use would have been an ancient (which I will have up and explained in the OP in just a few moments what is so I might as well say it now; the deities are ancients) with the ability to shift its shape however it willed. Whenever this ancient shifted shape, it would esentially become the creature it transformed into, with powers and all, as well as still have its own powers. The way he would get new shapes was by eating a creature of that race.
So if he found a rare plant creature that he had never seen before, he would obviously eat it.
(A further explanation of Ancients will be up in a few moments)

@Everythings;
Hmm... A Drow... Who dislikes non-magic-users and fears High Elves... He's simply gonna love my starter character, once I get him up ^_^'
You wrote "were" instead of "where" at some place (" there have many times in history were a young Varin died at a pivotal point in their racial heritage")... that honestly messed me up a bit. I think I read the sentence like six times and it just didn't make sense in my head. It took me a sadly long amount of time to realize why xD
But it's all good.
Kalidyn is accepted. Welcome aboard *offers handshake*

@robomonk;
*stares back with crossed eyes*

@ColoredCyan;
Don't worry! My character will give Bumble lots of love! :-D

@TheSovereignGrave;
(We've gotta find a nickname for you *phew*)
Oh... Your characters race is a rare plant thing; that's right... Uhh... You're gonna be glad that I chose another starter character than you were fist planning, or Ashborn would literally be eaten by a drooling dude ^_^'

EVERYONE;
I'm working on it! It'll be up tomorrow, I promise (if nothing unexpected happens, that is)!

Cities at War (High-Fantasy) [High Casual]

Thank you for your support, guys, but I'm gonna get it up and running as planned. A distraction from bad things is always good, at least to me.

I just gotta set my own computer up (back to living with the folks *sigh*) and I'll post my sheet for my current character.

Remember, you only have till NOON GMT to get your character sheets up (though I won't deny it just because it's five minutes or an hour late, but no more than that!)!
Here's a link to a GMT clock thingy, in case you don't know what time it is in GMT

Cities at War (High-Fantasy) [High Casual]

Uhh... First of all, I'm female, just so you know. Secondly, yes, the deadline for characters are Sunday noon, GMT. I'll have the IC up and running by Monday nonn, GMT, if things go as planned.

I thought it was best to let you guys know that I might be a little bit, well, moody the upcoming bit of time, as I have just had a rather serious falling out that resulted in the end of our relationship with my partner, who is also the father of my child and all. I'll be having lots of things to do with the apartment, pets, kids and so on...
So, yeah... Just thought I'd let you know.

Cities at War (High-Fantasy) [High Casual]

@TheSovereignGrave;
What a creative species/race! "Wilderness that can eat you", as I wrote in the OP. Wonderful!
I like the name for your species/race. Sounds African, actually.
Ashborn is accepted. Welcome aboard *offers handshake*
