The Neighborhood Watch

Mines bright like Morgan’s disposition

The Neighborhood Watch

Not gunna lie the first post has me quite hyped. I had wondered if there should be a bit of a flashback to Grace and you did sort of in yours so I think I’ll do something similar.

Though Morgan probably won’t have to travel much. I haven’t decided yet but he might have been working in the library on this day. Lol

Chanticleer Malloy

~ Springwood Forest ~

Chanticleer took in a deep breath and sighed with great joy. The air was so much cleaner here, the grass was so much greener. Everything literally reeked of life and a slower pace, and he was all for it. Rubbing his large belly and humming a nonsense tune as he looked around. The bright blue portal he had just walked through that he had found while exploring a mountain was nowhere in sight. This suited him just fine, who wanted to be climbing a smelly sulfur smelling volcano when faced with this? He ran his thick meaty hand through his red hair as he tried to remember why he even had been on that god-forsaken hunk of rock and his brain had nothing useful to report.

Looking around him he did not see any obvious pathways, so he took to the old tried and true method.

"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe..."

With each word that left his mouth his finger pointed in a different direction and after doing this a few times he finally decided on a direction. As he slowly started walking, he reached into his knapsack and took out a piece of hardtack and raised it to his mouth before catching himself. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Chanticleer was not about to break another tooth. Placing the hardtack in the palm of his hand with some effort he crushed it and began to place little pieces into his mouth to let them soften as he passed tree after tree. Sometimes even having to push his way through bushes and briars.

After walking for quite some time and even dodging stuff moving about in the underbrush something was starting to appear in the distance. Using his hand to block the sun he strained his eyes to see better. It was indeed a town of sorts, but it looked ramshackled and destitute at best.

"Excellent!"

Grinned Chanticleer as he puffed out his chest and increased his stride. After a few feet he stopped himself and pondered a moment. Last time he went marching out into the middle of an abandoned town, it had turned out to be a haven for a den of goblins. Chanticleer had barely escaped with his life that day. No, this would require some tact and wit for the best-case scenario. So naturally he got to the highest point he could find without actually being in the town and began to yell.

"HELLO?!?! IF THERE ARE ANY GOBLINS, I BRING LOINCLOTHES TO SELL!"

Nailed it thought Chanticleer. Goblins could not resist new loincloths. Once he saw how many goblins were in this village he'd know if he should run or try to fight.

Chanticleer Malloy

Name: Chanticleer Malloy
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Race: Half dwarf/Human

Appearance:

Height: 5'3
Eye Color: Hazel with flecks of gold
Hair Color: Fiery red

Description: Chanticleer is a heavy-set individual who despite his pot belly has rather muscular arms and legs from his dwarf heritage. He is slightly taller than the average dwarf but not honestly by much. His hair is flaming red and goes past his shoulder blades. The strangest part though is amongst his red locks are equally red chicken feathers. He has a full unruly beard and mustache that matches his hair. His eyes are unique in that they are a mixture of hazel and gold in color, giving his gaze a rather striking look. He is most often seen traveling in a mud brown cloak that covers his clothing. On his left hip is a plain looking sword that has a red gem in its hilt.

Personality: Chanticleer could be considered fairly carefree most of the time. Some might even call him borderline dumb, but he is always worth a good laugh. As everything he does, he does for his own amusement sometimes to the chagrin of others. He is not a mean individual, and he tries to let these serve as teaching moments even if only to himself. His carefree nature makes him friendly and borderline lazy when he does not have a goal in mind.

Quirks:
- Tends to rub his pot belly regardless of the situation
- Keeps the hood of his cloak on to avoid questions
- Despite being half dwarf, can not hold his alcohol

Brief History: Chanticleer's mother always said her son was dropped on his head as a child. While most would be in a rush to achieve great things, Chanticleer never seems to be stressed about things. One day out of the blue he just up and left home without a word and began to wander. Sometimes things would go swell and other times he would be a beggar on the street. During one of those low moments, he came across an eccentric man who had many wonderous items for sale. Each of them life shattering and capable of changing the world for better or worse.

The traveler would allow anyone who managed to see him one item and one item only. True to Chanticleer's brand he somehow managed to pick out the only item that the traveler had put in there as a joke. Instead of picking up an orb that contained wild lightening that could have made him an all-powerful lightening mage or picking up an enchanted heart that could have given him the strength of a dragon. Chanticleer picked up a small golden egg. When the Traveler tried to persuade him into picking something Chanticleer merely laughed and walked off.

He was hungry and the egg looked delicious. When he discovered he could not break the shell and being rather desperate in the moment. He Swallowed the egg, shell and all he was granted the unique powers of a Chickenmancer this gave him the ability to summon normal chickens and even battle roosters, though they are laughable in strength for now. In his random wanderings adventures he stumbled upon a strange blue portal that left him in in the Springwood Forest. He noticed upon entering this new world that the air smelled differently here. Less smog and more nature scented, so he is quite thrilled to be here. Wherever here might be.

Morgan Watkins

(Morgan Watkins)

Age: 21
Gender: Male
Occupation: librarian aid

Appearance: Morgan stands at 5'10 and is rather lanky. Not having much muscle mass. He tends to be found in T-shirts with funny sayings/pictures on them and jeans. If he's outside he is usually wearing a pair of shades as his blue eyes don't handle bright sunshine well.

Personality: Due to Morgan's background he tries to be a ray of sunshine. Even though everything about his life should scream that he is bitter and angry, Morgan instead chooses to take the higher road and channel his negative feelings into something more beneficial and less destructive. He enjoys being the problem solver when he is physically able to. Due to looking at the glass as half full he often gets himself into situations that are better left alone because he wants to be helpful.

Background: Morgan was born and raised in Redstone. His father Arthur was destined to be a pro in the NFL but in his first season badly tore his ACL resulting in his dream coming crashing down in flames. His mother Mary was a schoolteacher at Redstone Primary. Arthur had been in a dark place in life until Morgan's birth where he funneled all his failed desire into the boy and watched him become an amazing young football star.

Morgan looked like he was going to achieve greatness just like his old man, but in his junior year like father like son. Disaster struck. A bad tackle from a much larger boy ruptured a disc so badly they worried Morgan would never walk again. Yet the boy proved to be very resilient and pulled through the surgery fairly well, but his dreams were now shot. As he would soon find in the months to come that he often suffered from extreme lower back pain forcing him to take really strong pain relievers just to manage living. It came with a host of other complications and for the rest of his junior year he was angry, but he became inspired reading of tragic heroes who pressed on regardless of their circumstances and made the best of their situations.

Unable to work out or even walk for long periods of time Morgan turned to books and soon became lost in them and their adventures. He has also done this as a coping mechanism to deal with his abusive alcoholic father escaping to other worlds to avoid dealing with his own problems at home. His mother passed when he turned 20 after a long battle with cancer. He is hoping to save up enough money to leave his home.

Once he drank Grace's coffee, his back pain greatly diminished and by the second cup it had all vanished.

Connections: Arthur Watkins is his only family left in Redstone with his mother's death. Everyone that went to Redstone High will know of Morgan as he was the rising football star until he crashed and burned. Being out of the limelight he has led a quiet life but is friendly and talkative to any who pursued him.

Emerging Power: Morgan noticed that after a week or so of having graced Grace's place that his hands began to glow a soft warm light. It feels extremely comforting and provides light in dark places. He has noticed that in places where strange things happen like whispers that they seem to dim or recede when he uses his powers. Morgan is somewhat scared of his powers because if he tries to spread the light to the rest of his body he begins to feel his consciousness falter. There is a desire that is of total bliss, a desire for oneness but he does not know to what or whom, so he tries to use it sparingly afraid to lose himself.

Personal Motivations: When his back was cured, his desire to help people was strengthened and finding out that the darkness does not seem to like his light and it brings comfort to those around him. He joined the Neighborhood Watch to encourage others and help them. It also didn't hurt that he had a romantic interest on the watch that he never pursued due to his back issues. His constant reading of adventures also created a sort of wanderlust in his soul that is itching for the unknown and safety in numbers, right?

I am going to be out of town with my fiancé for the day but I will try to have a CS up later tonight. I might pm you with questions though Xalt just due to the nature of my character. Need to know if I need to brainstorm a new one or just fix up my current one.

The Neighborhood Watch

I humbly present my Character! Feel free to nitpick or give feedback. His reason for joining the watch can change as I threw in a potential romantic interest though that's not necessary.
