Bio

Been on-and-off of the site for a long time. Male, late-twenties. My interests are varied, but steer towards western fantasy and sci-fi. I'm picky with my weeb media.

Gaius shrugged off the interrogator's lack of response. The man was busy exiting the pod to vomit violently outside. After the rather embarrassing spectacle, Gaius left the pod. Outside,the Commissar was barking orders, which was to be expected. Not wanting to spurn the Commissar, but intending to have a look around, Gaius approached her,

"I'm going to survey the immediate area, Commisar. It's likely that some planetary native would have seen our descent. I'll leave it to you to hold down the fort here, and keep the rest of them in check." He paused for a moment, and looked to the eager Ogryn, "Grav, was it? I'd like you to come with me, if the Commissar doesn't have a better use for you. I'm not sure what to expect out here, and scouting alone would be unwise." He removed his rebreather now, confident that he wouldn't be drowning anytime soon.

You ninja'd my post Grothnor. =T
Gaius gathered himself as the Kestrel of Luggnum lurched violently. Per regulations, he took a deep breathe and equipped his rebreather mask. He only knew the basics of the planet they were currently hurdling toward. The likelihood that they would crash in a swamp and take on water was high, and Gaius had no intention of drowning. Looking around at the others who filled the lifepod, he noted the Interrogator, desperately trying to steer the lifepod clear of any dangers. The Commisar faced her fate with the stern glare of the Commissariat. Gaius noted that he was making a similar face. The Enginseer braced itself on the ceiling of the ship, and Gaius himself knelt down against his suppression shield, in the hopes that the cushioned backside would help break his inevitable impact with the wall. There was a roar of metal as the pod came to an abrupt stop, throwing Gaius forward onto his shield.

Though he had properly braced, it was still a jarring experience. He managed to retain his consciousness throughout, but had to steady himself before he could rise. When he eventually got to his feet, he was pleased to see that there were virtually no casualties. The escape pod had done it's job well. There was a hole in the pod, and the planet's sun shone through. He heard the Interrogator ask if any of the crew had survived. The Commissar's response came over the vox channel, and the Ogryn bellowed annoyingly toward the cockpit. One of the guardsmen saluted the Interrogator and announced her regimen, as well as the Enginseer. Gaius, heaving his suppression shield back onto his back, approached the Interrogator as well.

"I'm alive as well, Rayvius." He said, his rebreather distorting his voice. He didn't know the Interrogator extremely well, but serving the same inquisitor had allowed Gaius a decent amount of time to, at the least, get a general feel for the man.

Lucian, your character seems pretty solid so far. There's only a few concerns I have. In your full sheet, I'd like for there to be a plausible reason for an eighteen-year old to stumble on one of the greatest magical artifacts of all time. You could age him up a few years if you want, that might make it more plausible. Also keep in mind that the White Fellowship of Sorcerers is just that, an organization of Sorcerers. Excalibur could be one of their allies but he wouldn't be a full-time member. Sorcerers are kinda elitist like that. You could also have him be the Champion of some Modern-day Knightly Order if you want, a few of those guys are still around and are on surprisingly good terms with the magic users. Those Templars however... I'd like for all of the more incredible powers the suit and sword have to be the 'upper limit' if you will of its powers. Normally, I'd like for the suit and sword to not allow you to completely ignore attacks or cut through absolutely everything. Your character should still be able to sustain some injury and I'd like for there to be badass sword fights and not have you cut through the other guys blade instantly haha. Also your powers should have some kind of cost. Perhaps it takes a physical toll or needs a magical recharge but it should cost something. It's fine for Zack to not be that special but he should have some quality that explains how he obtained the sword. Otherwise if he didn't have the sword and had absolutely nothing special about him, he might be kinda useless. Of course he could pick up some skills as the roleplay progresses. Also he might want a codename that's something besides his weapon but that's just a nitpick haha. Just keep in mind everything else I said for your full sheet and you should be fine. And I'm kind of reminded of He-Man for some reason.


I was kinda' basing him off of Billy Batson/Captain Marvel with an Arthurian twist. I'm thinking perhaps the sword has to choose someone from the right bloodline, making him a prime candidate. As for the fellowship, the plan was for him to be an associate/honorary member I suppose. More of a weapon for them. He'd follow orders from them that he'd receive through his contact within the order, whom I'll probably call Merlin, because why not? I'll tone the sword itself down, and add some more weaknesses. A recharge time sounds good. In regards to Zach himself being sort of bland as far as skills go, I'm not exactly sure what you want there. I made him young so that the sword would be able to demonstrate transformative properties, similar to Shazam's lightning. I remember being eighteen, and I don't remember having an abundance of skills that would be relevant here, hah.

And as for the name, I kinda' imagined it'd be similar to how people erroneously refer to Captain Marvel as Shazam. I can change it though, I suppose.

Lucian: You're good. Accepted.


Grazzi. Looking forward to this.
Work in progress, but would like a bit of feedback if you have time, Didact.

Name
Zachary Pendragon

Codename
Excalibur

Age
18 (Though this visually changes when wielding Excalibur)

Gender
Male

Place of Birth
Springfield, Missouri

Affiliations
The League, The White Fellowship of Sorcerers

Occupation
Full-time superhero

Appearance




Powers
By calling the name of his mystical sword, Excalibur, Zach is transformed into the mighty champion of the Fellowship of Sorcerers. Aside from summoning Excalibur to him, calling the sword's name changes Zachary's physical appearance to that of a man in his prime, and grants him super strength. While wielding Excalibur, Zachary is able to rip through steel, punch through brick walls, lift cars, etc. This also allows Zach to leap incredible distances.

Skills
When wielding Excalibur, Zach has access to the knowledge of all of the sword's past wielders, including tactics, personal information, and combat technique. This makes him proficient in many areas including, but not limited to, swordplay, history, linguistics, and strategy. When not wielding Excalibur, Zach has virtually no special skills to speak of.

Equipment/Resources

The Armour of Kings
The Armour of Kings is a mystical suit of armour that materializes around Zachary when he makes contact with Excalibur. Light as a feather, but harder than titanium, the suit provides incredible protection from physical damage, while also allowing for great maneuverability. The suit is also magically warded to protect from extreme elemental environments, and magical attacks. The suit also allows for absolute self-sustenance, allowing the wearer to breathe underwater and in other places where they would not normally be able. The self-sustaining suit keeps the wearer in a form of constant peak condition, meaning they will never tire, and, theoretically, will not age while wearing the suit.

Excalibur
Excalibur is a legendary and powerful magical artifact. It is proven to be able to cut through almost anything, and it's blade glows with a bright blue flame when in combat. This flame can be projected at will by the sword's user, and burns at extremely hot temperatures.

Weaknesses
If Zach were to be seperated from Excalibur, he would revert to being an ordinary human.

Psychological Profile
Zach is best described as strained. His fight against the dark arts takes up all of his time, making it impossible to have a 'normal life'. Indeed, he is almost never seen in his ordinary form. This, coupled with teenage hormones, makes for a bad combination of depression and a short temper.

Biography
Finished my character sheet. Added the history, and edited in some specialized ammo to make up for my character's lack of grenades. Also added a rebreather, since they're standard-issue to Arbitrators.
