High Adventure, the Interest Check

No, no, I completely understand all of that. It makes sense to me, it's fairly simple. Don't hear me wrong, I'm not making them gods at all. Sure, godlike, but not gods.

I mean to say that in the wind and the hunt, he is most commonly recognized; thus, he is most proficient in those aspects when he becomes a mortal, but his general domain is freedom.

I normally avoid writing too much of a background for the character this early, but I give the idea a solid yay. Of course, I'm probably going to edit it drastically because having it given so directly takes the fun out of making one for myself.

High Adventure, the Interest Check

Awesome, I've got an idea for the Protector of freedom and independence, of the wind and the hunt in which freedom and independence can be found. In the creation narrative of the Protectors, he gave the living the breath of life, the air for voice, the stirring of the mind, and the blowing through instruments. As a mortal, he will live in Canum.

Found a song on YouTube that would represent him well too. Another good one. I'm borrowing some inspiration from these.

High Adventure, the Interest Check

I'm still really interested in this.

I have an idea: what if the Protectors were worshipped by ancient peoples, thousands of years before the fall of the Protectors to mortality? Temples were built in their honor, holding purifying and powerful waters with their blessing. These waters would simply act on a normal man with whatever effect the Protector gave, but on mortal Protectors, these waters would reopen their powers. But over time, as men forgot their Protectors, the temples fell into ruin. The temples were lost to time and forgotten by all mortals, locations unknown. When the Protectors fell, so too did they forget their temples. Some temples fell into the ocean, some temples were buried by dirt and sands, some temples were overgrown with nature, but for each temple the same happened: each would fade from all memory and each would succumb to the elements and disappear. Even still within the temples of the Protectors were sanctuaries hidden behind what seemed to be their final chambers wherein the water was. In these sanctuaries, there was a door of sorts. Not a physical door, but a great seal on the floor with intricate patterns and runes. These seals were connected to the realm from which the Protectors hailed. When fate allowed and the mortal Protectors had enough power and came to understand their roles fully, their sanctuaries would open to them, and their full potential would be unlocked as the seals broke and the powers surged into the Protectors.

Of course, for balance's sake, the Protectors would have to go through trials and battles with monsters and the like to get to their temples and to harness their powers from their temples, but the idea is the same. The temples are a way for them to restore their power because they still hold the subdued energy of the ancient people who believed in them. Perhaps the temples were even built on top of by some people, like a temple could be hidden somewhere within a king's castle or a palace, or underneath a new religion's main place of worship or center of power.

(Feel free to take this idea or modify it however you wish, but I thought this would be cool to suggest.)

Elias Corvorum Graeff

Name: Elias Corvorum Graeff
Spiritual Race: Chosen
Age:16
Gender: Male

Appearance: Elias's dark brown eyes, although softening and welcoming, offer a glimpse of his elusive, adamant, and defiant soul and seem so strong as to drive out demons in their wake. They are framed by brown hair so dark that it might as well be black and by a somewhat smooth yet square-jawed bone structure. His soft, supple skin is olive and unmarked with no tattoos or markings of any sort. Elias stands with good posture at an average height of 5'10" and a normal weight of roughly 150 pounds, complemented by only some hard-earned muscle. On a regular basis, he wears Prussian blue jeans and whatever T-shirt, baseball tee, or long-sleeved shirt he pulls from the closet, and typical sensibility about the weather marks his outfits. When appropriate, he'll wear tan pants or cargo shorts, and if he's feeling fancy, he might wear a sweater or a dress shirt with rolled-up sleeves. The dashing fox in him also has a soft spot for suits and ties. A winged sword necklace around his neck has become typical of his appearance.

Personality: A solemn, shy shadow follows Elias wherever he goes, and sometimes depressed and anxious musings plague him. Beyond that, he approaches with some reluctance as he yields to those around him if their will is not against his, but in the face of manipulators and oppressors, Graeff is a free, rebellious boy in his unyielding thoughts and transcendental virtues, giving rise to philosophy and intellectualism. His deadly sin, however, is melancholic sloth and angered wrath. Elias remains fairly optimistic despite all that discourages, and he espouses wishful thinking and hope.

Background: Union Hill is the only home Elias has ever known although he's traveled to his immigrant mother's home in the Philippines and seen the canyons and deserts of the West from Texas to Arizona, the swamps and bogs of Louisiana, and the coast of the Gulf of Mexico from Louisiana to east Florida. The unmoving nature of his home pushes him to seek what is beyond Union Hill and the fantastical world outside the United States. More influential in his upbringing is the Roman Catholic Church, which his mother raised him under since he popped out, and even in his devotion, he breaks the norms of the Church with a deep-seated attractions to the same gender, a deviating variety of opinions that stray from their doctrines and politicized dogma, and a cursing scorn for hypocrisy and other members of the congregation, all of these divergent traits emerging from 4 years of staunch atheism. Graeff enjoys a relatively small circle of friends that balances the various aspects of his spontaneous and wildly uncontrollable personality.

Bumping again for those in the daytime, since I updated this thread a little late last night.

Yes, we are still looking for more players and we'll always be open. The OOC is here.

I'm on break, and I just got the opportunity to polish the thread and push it out. Here is the OOC.
