Thanox had never enjoyed the ride aboard the ship. It was too strange for him, back home he had never seen so much water in one place. At first he was happy to see the water, then he learned that it was undrinkable. After that he decided that he didn't trust the ocean, it was just as deadly as the desert, only he was not as familiar with it. Still, the crew assured him that they could handle any problems that came up and Thanox had believed them.

That is until the waves began to knock the ship around and sweep some of the crew and passengers out into the sea. He had wanted to help, but he knew nothing about ships or what to do in the middle of a storm. So instead he stood there, frozen in indecision as to what he should do. The storm made the decision for him when another large wave crashed onto the deck, taking him out to sea with several others.

Sometime later Thanox slowly opened his eyes. His body ached and he began to cough up that unpleasant water, but he was alive. He groaned as he pushed himself up from the wet sand, some of it still clinging to his body. He looked around, several people had already regained consciousness and were recovering. He recognized most of them, but he had only spoken to a few of them. The fellow hunters Gamie and Ugroth, the warrior Sevita, and the oni Masaru were all there. "Good," Thanox muttered to himslef. "All strong people. They will be needed."

It looked Masaru was headed towards the remains of the ship that had washed up on shore. Thanox slowly began to follow after him. His right leg was aching, but it wasn't anything to bad. He patted the sling on his back to make sure his boomerang was still there and was relieved to find. Things may not have gone according to plan, but they were still alive and he intended to make sure they stayed that way.

From Barren Shores: A Fantasy Survival RP

Name: Thanox

Age: 13 (Average lifespan of his species is only around 30-35 years)

Race: Exoian

Appearance: Like all Exoians, Thanox greatly resembles an insect, in his case an ant. He has a thick exoskeleton that is a rusty color. His species also has a small pair of antenna on their heads, as well as an extra pair of arms below the main arms. These other arms are smaller and not as strong, only being able to lift about half as much as the larger pair. His face is also very ant like with large compound eye, and a set of pincer like mandibles over his mouth.
Thanox is fairly tall, standing at around 6’5, although he is also strong, he doesn’t appear so. His body is thinner and he does not have as much visible muscle compared to other races. His body is also covered in various tattoos and ritual marks.

Personality: Thanox is above all loyal to whatever group he is in. This is because all Exoians strive to better the hive and put the good of many above the good of an individual. Even if the his new “hive” is made up of very different races, Thanox will still do whatever he can to help and would be perfectly willing to sacrifice himself to save a fellow member.
However, because he was raised in an environment where everyone works to help each other, he is completely unaware that people can act selfishly and try to only better themselves. This makes him a bit gullible since if some asks him to do something he would simply assume it is for everyone’s benefit.
Despite willing to help others, Thanox is distant from most people, and can come off as a bit cold. However he would open up to those he respects, mainly other hunters, and he would try to make some connections with people but it is a slow process with him.

Abilities: Thanox was a hunter from his hive so he has skills in tracking, and he is quite strong and skilled in his weapon of choice. He prefers to actively hunt his prey, but he can also make simple traps, provided he has the right materials.
To make up for their short lifespans, Exoians only require half as much sleep as most races, meaning Thanox could continue to work to finish a project or to hunt more food. Furthermore, growing up in a harsh desert environment has let Thanox develop a tolerance to heat and a lack of water, however he has never experienced a true winter before and he would be unprepared for it.
Lastly, an Exoians exoskeleton is fairly durable, giving him some natural protection.

Salvaged Item: A bladed boomerang, his personal weapon and a gift from his hive.

History: Ever since the day Thanox was born he knew only one thing, serve the hive. No matter what that meant, hunting for food, protecting his people from rival hives, or even raiding the caravans that the humans and elves sent through their lands. It was all for the greater good of his people and that was the only thing that mattered.
When war inevitably broke out and the different races can to pacify the Exoians, Thanox joined his people in defending their homes. However, despite their best efforts they were beaten and Thanox worked with the survivors to pick up the pieces of their old life.
When they received word of an expedition to a new land, the matriarch of Thanox’s hive decided to send him, seeing that he was capable but also expendable if something happened during the journey. Thanox accepted his new job as he always had and set off to the land in hopes that it would help restore his people.

Nation of Origin: The Desert Land Quroc.

Nation Lore: The Exoians do not have one central government, instead each settlement is a hive and each hive has its own ruler, a queen. Each individual is given a job to do and they are expected to fulfill this job to the best of their ability. Although the queen is above all others in the hive, other Exoians’ status is determined by how well they can perform their job. For example, a simple, yet highly skilled builder would be of more value than an advisor to the queen who only performed decently.
The various hives often fought one another for supplies or territory and alliances between them were rare, and often uneasy. However this changed when the various humans, elves, and other residents in Quroc united to put an end to the raiding done by the Exoians.
At first, the hives tried to handle the problem individually. However as more and more of the hives fell, the various matriarchs finally agreed to unite and defend all of their lands. For a while they were a formidable force. Life expectancy was low among their people, but they matured faster, and many were born at once giving them the advantage in numbers. Sadly it was not to last.
Due to the fact that alliances were rare among their people, and certainly never to this degree, the Exoian alliance quickly fell apart. The queens argued over how to proceed and which hives should be protected first which led to their armies receiving conflicting orders and only succeeded in disorganizing their forces. Their enemy on the other hand was performing very well. Early in the war, when the Exoians were still fighting separately, the humans and elves discovered the most effective ways to destroy the hives, mostly a combination of magic, and simple explosives placed at certain locations. This gave them the upper hand and allowed them to defeat the numerically superior Exoians.
After the war ended, the Exoians were forced deeper into the desert, with less supplies, and less land they became desperate to find a way to survive. The news of a new land sparked in hope in at least one queen, who hoped the land could be used to re-establish the Exoian people.

Other: He secretly enjoys poetry, something he discovered after he left his home, and occasionally tries to make some of his own. It is all terrible.

I added a little more detail to Thanox. I hope it is a little better, I realized that I'm not very good at describing an ant's face, so I hope it is ok.

I'm really sorry it's taking me so long, I've been busy these last few days, but I will try to get it up as soon as possible.

From Barren Shores: A Fantasy Survival RP (Interest Check)

I had an idea for a character from an insect like race. Is that okay, or should I stick to the more traditional races?

From Barren Shores: A Fantasy Survival RP (Interest Check)

This sounds interesting, I'll try and keep an eye on it.

The Unwanted. Superpowered RP with a hint of horror.

I'm working on a character now, hopefully I'll have it ready by tomorrow.

The Unwanted

This sounds pretty interesting. I'd like to give it a try if you don't mind.

Digimon: As the Lights Fade [Closed/Dead; Thanks You Everyone Who Participated!]

Got to say, I love Graham's crest.
