Konrad will show these whipper-snappers a thing or two!

Darkest Dungeon: Into the Depths

I think I'll go Abomination. Nothing like a sad, dejected wretch of a being to brighten people's day.

Darkest Dungeon: Into the Depths

Name: Cole
Age: 23
Class: Abomination
Appearance: Cole is tan, thin, and heavily scarred. He is bald, not even having facial hair. On his head is a ugly brand of some occult symbol. He wears patchwork slacks held in place by a thick rope. He has a sack cloth shirt, a tattered, threadbare cloak wrapped around his shoulders. Around his wrists are manacles, chains wrapped about his arms so they don't drag and make noise.

Personality/Motivation: Cole went to the Estate to escape from the cruel hands of men. He heard tales of men and women who swore service to a Baron who didn't care about your heritage, or how you looked. He is quiet and melancholy, keeping to himself unless someone talks to him first. He is desperate to find a place for himself in this world, and those who would accept him. He is nervous around those who are religious, and has a dislike of churches. While transformed (which he does not enjoy), Cole turns into a bloodthirsty monster. The very transformation unnerves people, and many try to stay away from him in order to rid themselves of his "ungodliness". He can control when he transforms, but the beast inside him seems to have a personality of its own, urging him to kill and to feed.

Phobias/Mental Ticks: Cole is always nervous, and loud sounds surprise him. His nerves have eaten away at him, literally. He's pretty sure he has an ulcer. That has to be why he vomits up that corrosive stuff every so often, right? He is afraid of the majority of people, pretty much everyone at first unless they prove otherwise. Being what he is though, he has a resilience to diseases, sickness, and open wounds. He refuses to visit the church to unwind, preferring the empty corners of the bar, where he can sit in peace. Mostly.

Biography: Born in some obscure hamlet in object filth and poverty, Cole was abducted at a young age by men seeking to create the perfect weapon. Years of torture, abuse, and experimentation have made Cole a shell of a man. On his seventeenth birthday, the men performed some occult ritual, branding an unholy mark on his head. They chained him to the floor while performing this dark ritual. Cole's body and mind filled with fear and terror, and with rage and anger alike. The being they had infused him with broke free of its mortal shell, transforming Cole into an abomination. Breaking free of his bonds, the men who had tortured him and experimented upon him stood no chance. He slew them all.

Half a decade later, Cole finds himself at the Estate, hoping to turn his luck and quell the beast inside. Maybe he can put this curse to good work, and earn a living for himself.

Or maybe he will die alone, far away from the light... In the Darkest Dungeon.

The Absent King

Name: Konrad Falkenburg
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Race: Human; Aretan

Appearance: Konrad is of middling years, and as such has many of the qualities that middle-aged men have. He is tall, 6'2" and of athletic build. His mostly muscular body is weather-worn and tough, his years of service rendering his flesh hard and his joints going more stiff every day. He has bags under his flint-grey eyes, and a look of sadness about him. He wears his greying hair in a military cut and sports a handlebar mustache. He is normally seen wearing brown slacks with hobnail boots, and a simple linen shirt. He carries a hunting knife with him at all times. When duty calls, he dons his plate armor and his weapons. He uses a flail and large kite shield, but like all knights he is trained in many weapons.

Brief character concept: A grizzled veteran, Konrad is a front-line fighter. He is jaded and somewhat depressed due to his home life and his career. Konrad follows orders to the letter, regardless of the "Why". He is paid to serve and protect the King, not to think for himself.

History: Konrad served as a protector for the Aretan kingdom for the last 24 years. He has shown great aptitude in the field, never faltering in his orders. No matter how small he task, or how great he has yet to fail one. He grew up in Areta, his father a humble innkeeper. He remembers the first time he saw the noble Knights of Areta, their weapons gleaming, armor shining. At an early age he began to train in fisticuffs and staying fit to make it into the ranks of his great country's protectors. He is a shining beacon of discipline and obedience, putting more hours into his work than in his personal life. Rumors around the barracks speak of his home life being sad, married to a women who sullies their marriage with noblemen and of his own children never coming to visit. But rumors are rumors, and Konrad hasn't affirmed anything.
He hasn't denied them, either.

Awesome! How are we choosing characters? Like we pick one or two, write up their bios and submit? Or are you going to have a "No more than one of each" rule?
