Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Name: Jurgin Pierce
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Appearance: Darcsen, (AKA black hair), dark-blue eyes. Tall and muscular, burn scar on left side of face, incredibly pale skin otherwise.

Rank: Private

Class: Shocktrooper

Weapons and Equipment: Mags M1 (machinegun), Ragnaid (medical), B-Type M1 (grenade), Home-made Bayonet (designed for his Mags M1).

Personality: Quiet, obedient, all around peaceful man. Abhors violence outside of the front, but when the call to battle comes, isn't afraid to charge headlong into battle, almost recklessly so, to protect his comrades.

Bio: Born to Darcsen parents in Gallia, Jurgin's childhood was one of being bullied and mocked for his heritage. As his parents made sure to raise him to ignore the contempt his 'friends' gave him, Jurgin grew up simply tolerating the blatant hatred his peers threw his way in the form of verbal assault and on occasion eggs or even bricks in rare cases. He graduated from the academy, particularly focusing in infantry maneuvers and squad-based tactics typical of infantry.

Following his graduation, Jurgin had originally sought to settle in Bruhl before being called back to his family's side. Despite his best attempts to help comfort his father and mother in their old age, both passed away within weeks of each other. One to old age, the other of a broken heart. When the war for Gallia's independence began in earnest, Jurgin immediately answered the call to arms. While he disliked the idea of inflicting pain upon others (something his parents drilled into him endlessly), he continues to fight on in the hopes that he may represent Darcsen in a positive light. He fights to help, however slightly, improve the plight of his kin.

My Sample

The pickaxe rose, then it fell again, the loud CLINK and THUMPof iron meeting stone and dirt respectively rung out as it did elsewhere in the mine. Each worker's tools rung out in near unison. Elsewhere the rattling of jack-hammers could be heard breaking up larger rock formations. The blue-white glow of Ragnite slowly filled Jurgin's vision as he worked in rhythm with the melody in his head. Another large vein to add to the cart, perhaps he might even get a bonus for this one! As he slowly carved the massive mineral free, he carefully loaded the large hunk into the mine-cart, wearily pushing it back towards the foreman's room higher up in the mine.

With his work shift ended and Jurgin himself almost completely exhausted, he trudged his way home, wearily greeting and waving to the few familiar friendly faces in town that acknowledged him. as he slowly opened the door to what was 'home' for the time being he announced to his parents he'd returned. His mother came to the door to hug him gingerly as he quietly handed her his day's pay of Ducats. She resisted, of course she did, she always hesitated to take his money. But when he insisted as he always did she thanked him, rushing back to check on her sickly husband. Jurgin shambled his way into the kitchen to scramble together something worth eating before making the slow climb up to his room to wake up and do it all over again....

@Roxim Teaga Yes please. It just helps us keep the CS tab organized a bit better (though all the drop ins/drop outs make that a pretty futile task)

@Raven_Operative

Excellent, thank you for the swift reply. I should have an application presented within an hour or so.

Of Gunpowder and Grit (Steampunk Fantasy, Seeking Co-Op)

Just saw the OOC, I'll make a character tomorrow I think, if I get an opportunity. If not it'll still be coming over the next two days. Should be tomorrow though.

@LadyTabris

Take as long as you need.

@Raven_Operative I'm relatively unfamiliar with this forum's etiquette, please bear with me. You prefer unaccepted/WIP applications in the OOC section, yes?

<Snipped quote by Raven_Operative>

It will be hard to convince me to surrender that spot...

@Zarkun

No worries! While I enjoy the idea of a sniper character, you were here first. I'll let you have that one, I'll probably work on reading through the current roster before I decide on a class though.

Edit: I'm seeing a distinct lack of Shocktroops, UNACCEPTABLE. I'll get to work on rectifying this immediately.

Room for 1 more? I'm certainly interested, while I've only played the first game, Valkyria Chronicles ishands down one of my top 3 favorite RPGs.

Character Name: Aurin Schmidt

Sex|gender: Male.

Race: Human

Appearance: Tanned skin, Blue eyes, Greying hair, balding, muscular and stout (5'2, 190 lbs, mostly muscle)

Distinguishing features: numerous scars across his body from whippings, gunshot and stabbing injuries, a Wolf's head tattooed on his right shoulder

Age: 34

Occupation: A split Master-Of-Arms and Quartermaster for the "Bastard's Bastion"

Crime: Aiding and abetting fugitives (True) 4 counts murder (true), Kidnapping (true), Arson (false, denies vehemently)

Starting Equipment: Zaka Arms Model 4 revolver, several handfuls of rounds, Guardsman's rapier, Home-made steel chest-plate.

Personal Items: Small journal, several passages of notable figures from "The Great Hall", Dangh'Vah made

Personality: Mostly quiet and respectful, Aurin isn't afraid of getting loud, angry and cursing up a storm however when something truly annoys him.

Character Quest: Above all else, Aurin treasures a life of wealth and peace. He knows in order to achieve that he will need to prove himself as someone not to be crossed. This will mean acquiring great riches and power...half of which isn't outside his reach.

Bio: Born into a family of "Explorataes", Humans and Dangh'Vah whom search the Under-roads for valuables and trinkets to be sold back to Golgath and other cultures. Much of his family however was lost during one such journey on the Under-roads to a cave-in and resulting Ornok attacks. Until he was 19, Aurin spent his life balancing books and handling the 'Family business' of sending adventurous explorers and homeless folk to their dooms scouring abandoned cities for scraps. It was on his 19th birthday that Aurin was press-ganged to serve aboard the "Bastard's Bastion" as he stumbled home, drunk and tired.

In his 11 years time aboard the Bastion, the airship actually had it's 'golden years'. He immediately began taking a direct hand in maintaining the ship's weapons and supplies, leading to a slightly more strict (at the grumblings of the crew) but efficient vessel. He'd grown tired of balancing books and found his abduction as a sign from Troia, taking to the new responsibilities as though a fish to water. During his year's service in this dual role came the infamous "San Valias Siege". Under his and Captain Matthew Stanton's command, this renegade group of thieves and pirates managed to steal almost 40 million mark's worth of Gold and Silver, a haul that depleted the already diminished Algrian Treasury at the time, following the recent war and secession of Jaku. The ensuing battle also ensured the Bastion's reputation as one of the most well-armed and well-fortified air-ships in the world.

At his trial, it is claimed that he was responsible for starting a fire that destroyed a dozen Algrian Noble's homes. A fact he openly disputes even now. He has since been tortured and interrogated repeatedly for years in attempts by numerous parties to re-take the wealth his crew scattered across the known world. While over half of it has been recovered, there is still (roughly) 18 million marks in Gold, Silver and other valuables unaccounted for....

RP Example: I can provide examples if you'd all like, but I imagine I can be exempt from this one small thing..

Additional notes: I know the age is 4 years past the scale I gave players, but I don't intend for Aurin to do much beyond enjoy a pinch of snuff, keep you stocked in ammunition and food. At most, offer direction to other characters.

Of Gunpowder and Grit (Steampunk Fantasy, Seeking Co-Op)

I'm going to slap up a character myself, mostly to represent handling the monotonous stuff no-one wants to do (buying up supplies for the ship, ammunition for weapons etc.), may gently nudge everyone along with an idea here and there.

Edit: all done.

Update, refined magic (mostly involving Shae'Hallam), added a bit of information on their religion. I'm about to get to work on getting information on the "Bastard's Bastion" itself up now. Gotta say @TemplarKnight07, I'm liking what I see so far.

Of Gunpowder and Grit (Steampunk Fantasy, Seeking Co-Op)

3 notable religions up, I can continue for a bit if you're looking for something more specific, but I'll likely be calling it a night here shortly.
