Errol MacReid

Basic Information

Name:

Errol MacReid

Nickname/Alias/Etc:

Glasgow-The callsign he used when leaking documents

Gender:

Male

Age:

27

Height:

5’ 11”

Weight:

155 Lbs

Home District:

Greencrest Heights

Appearance

Hair Color:

Dark Brown

Eye Color:

Muddy Green

Ethnicity:

Scottish

Physical Appearance:

Errol is lanky, to say the least. He’s just barely at a healthy weight for his height. No one can call him muscular by any stretch of the imagination, though that’s not to say that he isn’t in shape. He features are soft, giving his face a childlike quality. He’s got a pale, almost sickly complexion.

Attire:

Errol, for whatever reason, likes to dress formally. Button-up shirts and slacks are the norm. He prefers, weather permitting, to wear long pea-coats at every opportunity.

Personality

Innate & Outward Personality:

Errol is a bit of an ass. He’s sarcastic, and can’t seem to go a full day without angering someone. He’s crude, and he’s got a dark sense of humor. Despite this, Errol does genuinely care for most people. While his moral compass might be a bit skewed, he does believe that everything he’s done has been the right thing. In short, if you’re in need of help, Errol’ll help, even if that help comes at the price of a slew of insults and a hearty helping of complaints.

Hobbies/Interests:

Errol has a keen interest in writing. He publishes (Admittedly mediocre) short stories under a pseudonym. He also spends a good portion of his time playing fantasy RPG’s.

Skills/Talents:

Due to his training, Errol is in fairly decent physical condition and is aware of how to use a firearm. Perhaps due to his ability, he’s become skilled at manipulating people, even without suggestion.

Goals/Motivation

Errol just wants to be happy. He was bored with his parents, lonely in the MISW, and now he’s bored and lonely.

History/Bio:

Errol was born in Glasgow, Scotland to non-meta parents. He was educated in what was marketed as the premiere school for Metahumans in Scotland, but was little more than a front for an MISW training program. When he got to the “MacIntryre’s School for Gifted Children and Metahumans,” he was drugged and transported to another facility in Northern Scotland. His parents received a letter saying that Errol MacReid had died, and were given a nice tax break as compensation. Errol was given a new name and began his training. At the MISW facility, he was trained in the use of his powers and given an advanced education. When he “graduated” at age 18, he was immediately made an investigative MISW agent. He worked for almost five years, his past life all but forgotten, when he was contacted by Anti-Baseline Metahuman Extremists. They encouraged him to give them MISW documents related to the U.K. Federal Oppression of Metahumans. Errol didn’t exactly buy into the whole “Death to all humans” bit, but he felt there was something wrong with his country’s treatment of Metahumans. Seeing no other way to combat this, he complied.
He operated as a spy for The Allegiance, as he soon found out the extremists were called, under the callsign Glasgow. “Glasgow” leaked all sorts of confidential MISW documents. Some to the Allegiance, some to news agencies. It wasn’t long before the MISW was devoting resources to find out who the hell Glasgow was. When a friend in the Agency warned him that the government suspected him, he downloaded everything he could onto a flashdrive and gave it to the extremists. He fled the country that same day. He shed his new name, filing a work visa in the U.S. under the name Errol MacReid. He lived in Seattle for a year, just recently moving to Baybridge.

Relationships

Family:

The only family he knows of are his parents, who are currently under the impression that their son is dead and has been for almost 20 years. Errol hasn’t told them, thinking that they’ve likely moved on.

Dynamics: (Relations with other characters - You don't have to put relation with family here.)

[Description of Relationship]

Abilities

Power Class:

Cerebral (Domination)

Power:

Suggestion: Suggestion is, in as sense, a limited form of mind control. Whereas a mind control user might bend someone's mind and force them to do something they don’t want to do, say, shooting a friend. With suggestion, instead of forcing someone to do something, you implant a thought in their head, like shooting a friend. The thought grows and suddenly, they want to shoot their friend.

Limits:

Suggestion is more limited than mind control in a few ways. For one, it’s more complicated. It’s less like carjacking and more like rigging their GPS to take them where you want. It’s harder and it isn’t always effective. A strong-willed individual might be able to resist that sudden urge to punch their friend in the face. While suggesting doesn’t require speech or physical contact, Errol still needs to be able to see his target as well as be within twenty feet of them.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:

The power doesn’t work against Metahumans with Cerebral-Class powers. Certain strong-willed individuals may be able to resist it. The power also takes significant concentration, leaving him unaware of surroundings while suggesting.

Other:

• Errol is addicted to caffenie.
• Errol has a crippling fear of Wasps.
• Errol is currently living in the U.S. on a four year work visa, and is trying to become a Citizen.
• Errol currently works as a private investigator, but is mostly living off his saved up salary from his time in the MISW.

Stranded - Open Ocean

I'm afraid I'm not going to be joining this anymore. Best of luck with everything.

Task Force Echo (A Special Forces RP)

@Nevix

Wait- lemme see your CS again. I'd also like to know- why were you absent? Just curious- you were to let me know when you were set, right?

EDIT

Right, it's a bit difficult, given that the team is gearing up to go. I will have them stop-off at an airbase in Sardinia, where there is a staging area for the operation- don't write any IC posts yet, as I will write something that allows you to introduce Edmund, and potentially another pair of characters in situ.

@kingkonrad

Alright, thanks, friend. And the absence, well, I forgot to subscribe and then it just sort of faded from memory. Probably a good thing though, my writing has developed significantly over the pas four months.

Task Force Echo (A Special Forces RP)

And now we play the waiting game as I search for a good time to toss Edmund into the fray.

One last Chance (A new twist on the Walking Dead enclosed)

I'm intrigued.

Oh, this is still going? Cool!

Something To Note

It should be noted that the equipment is not an accurate representation of his equipment, the image is merely meant to show his physical appearance.

Name: Edwyn Cenric

Race: Half-Elf (Going off of D&D Half-Elves. Look like humans with sharper features, live into their early 100’s on average.

Personality: Edwin is, above all, a restless soul. He’s never been fond of staying in one place for very long. Tying into that is his unbreakable love of adventure, the promise of adventure being his greatest and, at times, only motivator. He’s outgoing, finding that befriending a person is its own kind of adventure. He doesn’t like being alone, and prefers to stay in crowds if at all possible. He’s generally likeable, with a decent sense of humor. That being said, Edwin is naive. He trusts easily and often.

Background: Edwin was the only child of Taia and Alphonse Cenric. Taia was an adventurer and Alphonse was a merchant. The family lived in a flat above Alphonse’s shop. Edwin would say he had a happy childhood. He was fairly sure that his parents, despite being busy with work, loved him. His mother would come back from dungeons with fantastic stories and treasures. His father, a human, taught him to read and write. His mother taught him how to use a sword.

The first big event that shaped his life was the death of his father when he was twelve. He had boarded one of his trade ships, as a sign of good faith to a customer. The ship sank during a storm and no survivors were recovered. To supplement his mother’s uncertain income, he took a job as an assistant to the local doctor. There, he learned how to heal with traditional methods. Later, he accidentally discovered his own aptitude for magical healing. Despite his skill, Edwin found the life of a doctor to be boring. Soon, he was joining Taia on her excursions.

When Edwin was 17, his mother was killed on the job. He delved into the dungeon, recovered her body and sword, and held a funeral. As soon as the ceremonies were finished, Edwin, seeing no reason to stay, got as far away from his home city as possible. For the next six years, he roamed aimlessly, working odd jobs and healing townsfolk along the way. He’s worked as a medic in a mercenary caravan, a sailor, and even a miner for a short time. Now twenty four years old, Edwin finds himself craving adventure again.

Abilities:

• Combat: In terms of physical combat, well, suffice to say there’s room for improvement. He’s a slightly above-average swordsman, but that’s about the extent of his abilities. He is completely incompetent with any sort of ranged weapons, and has no idea what to do with an axe in his hand. Unarmed combat is also completely out of the question.
• Magicks: Luckily for Edwin, he does have one extremely useful non-combat skill. He can use magic to heal his allies. If Edwin is close to a wounded friend, and the wound is a physical wound (He’s not yet skilled enough to heal diseases or fatigue or things of the sort.), Edwin can heal them. The process takes various amounts of time and energy, depending on the size, severity, and age of the wound. (For example, a newly broken leg would take about ten or fifteen minutes to heal, and leave him mildly exerted. Something more severe, like, say, a sword-borne stab wound would ten closer to an hour or so to heal, and leave Edwin feeling as though he had just run a marathon.). It should be noted that Edwin’s healing ability cannot, at his current skill level, replace lost blood or grow back severed limbs. If the target has already lost a lot of blood by the time Edwin gets to them, it may be too late.
• Other Skills: Edwin is a healer, not only in the magical sense, but also in the “bandages and medicine” sense. He is also, supposedly, a fantastic cook.

Equipment:

• Elven Short Sword: This simple Elven sword belonged to Edwin’s mother. It may not be enchanted, or have belonged to any legendary heroes, but its sharp, solid, and light.
• Leather Armor: While this simple set of armor may not be stopping axes or greatswords anytime soon, it provides some mediocre protection while allowing him to move unimpeded. Most importantly, it looks pretty cool.
• Doctor’s Bag: A simple Satchel, filled to the brim with medical supplies. Burn salves, painkilling concoctions, bandages, everything an enterprising healer might need, in a cheap package!
• Talisman of Healing: A slight misnomer, the Talisman is just a coin on a chain that Edwin wears around his neck, amplifying his healing powers. When separated from it, healing takes almost twice as long and requires significantly more energy.

@Nevix That was a pleasure to read (and so nicely formatted!). Accepted, go ahead and add it to the character tab.

@NowIGiveUp

Awesome, Thanks!
