Polaris Yukon
"Tell me a piece of your history that you're proud to call your own. Speak in words you picked up as you walked through life alone."
Full Name: Polaris Yukon Nickname(s): None. Gender: Male Age: 28
Species: Human About Species: A somewhat frail, yet idealistic species. Typically without abilities and overall seen as "ordinary" by other races.
Weapon(s):
Farkas - Polaris's signature weapon as indicated by the fact that it is nicknamed. Farkas is a regular Ahlspeiss.
Grappling Hook - Aside from being useful for exploration, the grappling hook is also useful for grabbing and pulling enemies.
Gauntlets & Boots - Having hand-to-hand combat experience, Polaris can hold his own without relying on weapons.
Knife - While Polaris's knife is primarily used for hunting, this doesn't mean that it can't double as a tool used for self-defense.
Abilities:
Tracking - Like most Glacerian people, Polaris is quite skilled at tracking animals. It's possible to use this to track people as well.
Hunting - Hunting is a requirement for surviving within the Glacerian Tribe. It also happens to be Polaris's specialty.
Survival Instinct - It can be said that Polaris will do anything to promise himself survival. And he likely will.
Combat Experience - Polaris has both training and experience with polearms and hand-to-hand combat.
Reason: Loyalty to Naviance and its king. In short? It's basically his job.
Brief Personality && Biography Description: Polaris can be considered the perfect representation of his homeland: cold and distant. Hailing from the Glacerian Tribe, Polaris is not originally from Naviance despite what others might assume. Although he holds a respectable role within the king's army and is always willing to fight valiantly for the country that he has come to love, he has always identified with deep-rooted Glacerian traditions and talents. Perhaps it is his foreign ways that make him so well-fitting for what he does best: fighting and exploration.
Or perhaps it has moreso to do with his beginnings. Polaris often neglects mention of his early life which include the fact that he was orphaned at a young age due to other traits that his homeland is commonly known for: harsh winters and killer diseases. During his late childhood, it seems that he was also stricken with a fatal disease and that he was able to survive with enough willpower and the support of those in the tribe that collectively took care of him and the other orphaned children. His near death experience with the illness, Polaris claims, made him to be a stronger individual in the end. It may have also hastened his need to escape his homeland and before long, he found himself drifting hopelessly in search of work or a "new life". It was during his late teenage years that he wandered before eventually landing himself in the kingdom of Naviance. Before long, he found himself being recruited for the king's army, charming recruiters with his unique techniques and fighting style. It has been about eight years since then and Polaris often denies that his past is currently affecting his life. It's unknown by all whether this is the truth or not.
It is known, however, that Polaris has trust issues and a rather guarded nature. This does not seem to be exclusive to him, however, as his comrades occasionally express distrust towards him as well. This is likely due to his unfriendly or possibly even foreign nature. Whatever way people ultimately perceive Polaris does not seem to matter to him as he seems generally uninterested in appeasing others and cares little for gossip. Or, rather, he cares little for talking in general and seems to be rather laconic when conversing with others. Polaris always finds it much easier to focus on a task than to discuss it and prefers to work in his self-selected solitude. Although he won't admit it, Polaris often strives for absolute perfection with his work which is much easier said than done.
Although Polaris has always taken his work extremely seriously, the urgency of his work has increased within the past month or so. Following the announcement regarding the king's health, Polaris was tasked with the responsibility of learning more about the whispered talks of rebellion. These "whispers" seem to have become much louder over the past two weeks or so. This very reason explains his confusion for suddenly being recruited to do a completely different task instead. His quickly changed task? To help find a cure for the sickly king. It should be said that, regardless of whatever the task may be, Polaris intends to "get the job done" and "get it done right".
. . though it seems that he isn't too keen to be traveling with other people quite yet.
Themesong:
Additional Information:
Allergic to garlic.
Absolutely despises humidity.
Has a slight accent that occasionally reveals his Glacerian heritage.
Morgan had a rather rough night and felt terrible as a result. He had a screeching headache, a slight sense of nausea and decided that it would be smart to sleep past his alarm. That was until Dakota began to spam him with calls which eventually led to him accepting his fate and get ready for Comic Con. Oh. And to meet his best friends who happen to be from the internet, but it wasn't like that was important or anything. Actually, it completely was and it was probably Morgan's fear of disappointing them that hindered him from leaving the hotel bed originally.
Now it was close to - if not already - opening time for the convention floor. From what Morgan had gathered, he and Norma were both missing from the scene. He had eventually decided to take the reigns of the day's destiny into his own hands and downed a painkiller before readying himself for the day. He was about to head out the door and grab something to eat on his way when he got a PM from CJ.
Spiritgirl: Hey haven't heard from you at all. Where are you at? SkyGazer is typing. . . SkyGazer: Hey CJ. Sorry. I'm on my way now. I'll be there on time for Jordan's panel and I'll stay for Josh's too. SkyGazer: Wasn't feeling too great after the flight and slept past my alarm. Sorry again.
There was at least a hundred or so missed messages in the group chat. He would filter through those later as walking and daydreaming had already proven to be deadly enough for Morgan, let alone reading as well. For now, he would start heading to the convention and be on time for Jordan's panel as promised. And stay for Josh's panel as promised. It was a shame that he missed an opportunity to have breakfast with CJ, Colette and the others, though.
Leah White
Interacting with: Colette, Ivy, Miles && Wes
The crew wasted little time arriving at the convention hall. As they stood outside and CJ took off to find Hiji, the remaining five decided to hang back. They were all now donning their respective passes: Wes had a navy lanyard, Ivy's was themed after The Nightmare Before Christmas, Miles had the standard red and Leah had picked a floral design for herself. On closer inspection, it wasn't exactly fitting for her. Oh well. At least it was cute in her opinion.
"That is one looooong line," Miles commented as he and Ivy scanned the line that seemingly took forever to reach the doors and disappear inside. Yes, it was a long line and yet Leah was in no particular hurry to head inside. It was true that she was excited to meet the others, but at the current moment in time, she seemed just as content simply being in the same atmosphere as Ivy, Colette and Miles.
"Definitely. . oh my god, is that Dakota?" Ivy said as she stopped inspecting the line briefly before turning back to face the others. She pointed to a black-haired individual who stood in line, oblivious to the world and wearing headphones. One could almost mistake him for Morgan, but this person appeared to be slightly taller than Morgan. "I totally think it is," she turned to Miles for confirmation who simply nodded in response. Leah and Wes seemed to both jolt awake at this revelation: yet another one of their friend was nearby.
"Shall we?" Miles asked, looking back at the small crowd. "Or should we wait until we're inside and surprise him?"
Location: At the edge of the capital city || Time: Just before dawn || Interacting With: Nobody
It was closer to the spring months these days than it was to the winter months. Because of that, the mornings weren't starkly cold and they weren't stuffily humid either. In Polaris's opinion, the temperature was ideal and just about right. Also in Polaris's opinion, this task was likely about to go horribly wrong, but for the sake of his adopted country and its people, he would humor the possibility anyway. There was no doubt in his mind that he was loyal to the king, but there was doubt in his mind that Naviance would remain the same or even standing by the time he and the others returned. What if rivaling lands decided to launch a conquest? What if the rebellion was successful in usurping the royal family?
For Polaris's sanity, he did not ruminate on the possibilities for long.
Instead, he remained, alone, watching the horizon on the outskirts of the capital city. It was a little before dawn, but the black sky was giving away to bleak grey light. Based on the instructions of his highness and his advisors, Polaris and the others chosen to undertake the task in search for the king's cure would rally here to meet one another and another advisor for final instructions. These final instructions apparently included exactly what they were looking for. Admittedly, Polaris found it a bit odd. He had come to the conclusion that perhaps they had no idea what they were looking for at all. Perhaps they were just chosen due to their select set of skills, traits and so on.
In the end, he supposed, he would find out in a due amount of time anyway.
I wasn't even aware that people still used ringtones, I'll be honest. I absolutely despise ringtones and find them to be somewhat distracting and usually choose to leave my phone on vibrate or silent mode as a result. Purely for the sake of this challenge, I will pick a song and for the sake of my sanity, I will never go through with actually making it my ringtone.
Anyway, the song I'd pick would be Riptide by Vance Joy. Honestly, I was originally going to use this song for tomorrow's prompt as I'm very obsessed with song and I was also going to choose NJ Legion Iced Tea for today instead. I eventually decided against both as I have a better song for tomorrow and I already have NJ Legion Iced Tea as my alarm clock. In short? I don't think doubling up songs would be good for my sanity either.
What was I talking about? Oh, yes. Riptide.
I absolutely adore this song from the lyrics to the singer's voice to the calmness that the song alludes. Generally speaking, from something that I would presumably be hearing quite often, the calmness of the song would be welcoming to someone like me who has anxiety when it comes to speaking on a phone. Also, just listen to the song. Is it not the best thing you've ever heard?!?
It's definitely up there for me.
(I'm also still here. I'm here until the very end.)
Thank you to everyone who offered input on their preferences and situations involving the OOC Chat. Keeping everything discussed thus far in mind, I decided to pick Chatzy for our OOC! You can find it here or on the first page of the OOC at any given time. If Chatzy does not pan out for us, then Skype will be our official backup.
