Bio

I'll keep this short and sweet, maybe. I've been roleplaying since I was 14 back on the forums of some old zombie browser game and have had a soft spot for it ever since. I like to believe I've gotten at least a bit better over the years, but I still find myself shying away from the Advanced RP's. Was a member on Oldguild for around a year before the fall, but have been on-again-off-again with the new site for about the same time. Have tried other places, but I soon grew tired of them and find my way back here. I enjoy fantasy, sci-fi, and sometimes slice of life RP's, though I'm not a fan of doing canon RP's, as I like making my own characters. This isn't to say I don't like playing in fandom worlds, as I love them, but just not playing as one of the actual characters from whatever show/book/movie/comic it's from.

Outside of all that I'm currently enrolled in college and work full time in the receiving department of a warehouse.

I am the ripe age of 21, been on the site since I was 18 I think.
Awesome, take your time though. RL always trumps RP, we aren't going anywhere.
Haven't done an RP for awhile, this sounds like something to ease myself back into the routine. You can count me in!
Roark – Warlock

A hulking figure walked through the forests nearby the Caparthian mountains, heading towards the desolate range with a sense of meandering purpose. Was he moving in a serpentine fashion to avoid being tracked by the menagerie of nightmarish beasts that prowled in those woods? Did he know of the dangers of the mountains he was heading too? Or was he just a foolish adventurer who had gotten lost after having one to many at one of the remote inns?

None of those were actually the case, as this journey was more forced upon him than anything else. You see, this intimidating brute of a man wasn't actually a man at all, but a child of the Shade. Though he did a good job of keeping himself inconspicuous by donning the garb of a mercenary or adventurer. Even then, it helped that his armor was adorned with all manner of teeth and claws from the beasts he had slain in his journey for solitude. Add on the massive battle axe across his back and the one handed war hammer at his hip, the intimidation factor was complete. Of course, there will always be those that don't get the message and try to approach him, but luckily for them this sorcerer is a different breed than the vile siblings he was on his way to meet. Unlike the others, who are more than happy to spread mayhem wherever they go, Roark was more fond of being alone and away from the mortals. Sure he had the evil energy burning within him like all the others, but for some reason Roark didn't crave power and destruction like the rest did.

Sadly, this didn't mean he could opt out of a direct summons from his “father”, since open defiance would lead to certain death. This is of course the reason for him zig-zagging his way there, for as long as he was headed in the direction of the meeting place, it didn't matter whether he got there first or last. As he drew close to the mountains, Roark cleared his mind, not wanting to expend any of his valuable energy worrying over things that had no real significance on him.

The steep climb up the unforgiving rock face was nothing for Roark, heaving himself up onto the final ledge that had an oddly out of place path leading away from it. Walking along it, Roark made no attempts to approach conservatively, as he stopped right on the edge of the group gathered at the end of the path heading down the other side of the mountain.

“So, what does he want now?” Roark said, his deep voice seeming to emanate around them, surprising those that didn't hear him approach.
Name: Roark

Nickname: N/A

Age: 76

Appearance: Him (without the beard)

Background: Out of all his brothers and sisters, though he doesn't think of them as such, you wouldn't be wrong to think Roark was the odd one out. For as much as his siblings reveled in causing chaos and destruction wherever they went, Roark would rather be left alone and kept to his own devices. Not truly evil nor good, just like the element he is associated with, he is physically stronger than his siblings, honing it in the solitude of the mountains and forests of the realm. He is best described as “chaotic neutral” in that he doesn't seek out doing evil, but if provoked even in the slightest way, he will not hold back his power in the slightest.

This is the root of his main problem and the reason why he isolates himself so much. Due to the fact he is an offspring of the Shade, he is at his core evil and that evil essence is constantly nagging at him to lay waste to all those before him and assert his dominance. By honing his physical prowess to an incredible degree, he has staved it off for quite some time, but the moment he uses any magic the dark energy coursing through his veins begins to fill him with anger. If this anger isn't kept in check or stopped, he won't be able to control what he does, be it demolish an entire town or possibly try and kill one of his siblings. This wanton rage, though it may make him nearly unstoppable to most threats, is a catch 22 in that he goes through his magical reserves extremely quick. He has only ever released his 3rd ability once, destroying a small hamlet and slaying all those who tried to escape, the exertion and amount of magic used aged him by a good margin.

Now, the call has been put out for him to assist his siblings in a mission for their father and Roark makes his way there even though he would rather remain isolated. He knows he cannot defy the Shade and because of this he envies the mortals, even with how fragile their existence is.

“You mortals don't know how lucky you are to have a choice in your life. Even those that hunt my kind down, you have the choice to go back or go forward...I have no choice but to serve.”

Magical Element: Earth

Magical Ability:
1. Rock Hard - He becomes as hard as a rock (dem inuen-tho's), deflecting most forms of attack, but roots him wherever he activates it. Flip side of this ability is when his 3rd ability is burned, he is rooted in place, but this shell can easily be broken.

2. Heavy Handed – Boosts Roarks strength, making his armor and axe almost feel like nothing. The longer this ability is in effect, the angrier Roark gets, as well as decreases the duration of CotC and his magical reserves.

3. Coming of the Colossus – In form
The area around him begins to tremble, causing fissures to splinter around him. Once the shaking reaches it's peak, the earth erupts around him, and just as the dust and earth settles a new rumbling begins, as he becomes a 10ft tall stone golem. This form increases his anger by 10x, for no longer is he cool and collected, becoming a threat not only to those that stand before him, but to those who align themselves alongside him. The form only lasts a short time, completely draining
him of his magical and physical power. As the stone form crumbles around him, he is encased in rock wherever he collapsed, but this can be easily smashed open. He is not unconscious, but has absolutely no energy both magically and physically left at his disposal.

Weakness: His anger, which if kept unchecked will cause him to burn to much magic in his 2 or 3, leaving him defenseless.
10/10 - Will never unsee. What's it from?
7/10 - Because I love Borderlands, but hate her. Also, I like bottom line.
