Came from the quiet town of Harkingor
Name: Chou
Race: Jungle Carpet Python
Gender: Female
Personality: Chou could well be the fursonification (see what I did there? ) of the word 'tomboy'; she's confident, hates the color pink, hates wearing skirts and other feminine clothing, hates the stereotypical 'girly-girl' kind of furson, and is much more fond of spending time with guys than girls, as she relates with them more. Chou is fun-loving but is quite a risk taker and perhaps over-confident. Her temper can tend to be quite short, and one thing that angers her in particular is anyone making fun of her name; despite her tomboy attitude, she has a name that literally translates to 'Butterfly'. Chou thinks of this as disgustingly girly. Call her 'Butterfly' at your own risk...
Appearance: 6 feet tall, long neck and tail, golden-colored eyes, scales that are patterned in vividly contrasting black and yellow, wears a long brown coat, white shirt, leather trousers, black boots, and a brown hat.
Weapon/Combat: Enjoys hand-to-hand combat; if she gets particularly angry she'll wanna get more 'hands-on' with the opponent and actually feel herself inflicting pain on them... (How lovely) No weapons at the moment, but had practiced with a whip awhile back
Skills: Above average strength due to race, skillful in physical combat, intelligent
Came from Harkingor
Why the downgrade? Well, once again, Archen judges people not by skill, but by potential. He chose people with lack of experience for a reason. Don’t worry, while at first you guys will be pretty much civilians, before you start your quest you will have some real training under your belt. Archen would never send people into the unknown without showing them how to defend themselves! As I’m sure you’ve already noticed, your weapons have been downgraded significantly. This is mainly because most of you chose metal weapons; Metal is very rare in this area, and what little there is is usually iron or copper. Granted, once you guys get to (somewhere) you’ll have the option of using any of the weapons provided, many of which will be of very high quality (some are even made of steel, which is unheard of around here). Another thing, Iron is not crap; if everyone else had wood and stone, iron is pretty damn good, so don’t go complaining about it not being good enough. (I could be worse, I could have given you tin!) Plus, It’s not like you’ll be fighting people in plate armor; hell, there’s not even any chainmail on the isle. Also, as for the two rangers, I changed your bows to short bows, for two reasons. 1: Most people don’t realize just how big a true longbow is; they are usually as tall as the person using them! 2: If you’re playing in the woods, having a 6 foot bow would be a major liability, as it would snag on trees and whatnot (this is especially true for Jerius, as not only is the forest he comes from denser, but due to his race, he is more likely to be climbing around in the trees.) For Leon and Jerius, let me add that you should never doubt the destructive potential of a wooden sword. (It’s like a sharpened baseball bat, but cooler looking.)
I forgot to add age to the char cards, but I’m going to say that the lot of you are from 17 to 26 years old. I also altered some of your attire to better fit the time period.
As usual, you are free to mod your cards, but they must be re-approved by me afterwards.
Now, in order to help make up for what is almost certainly a disappointment to you all, I have made your starting weapons, so you can see that I’m not starting you out with a bunch of crap.
Nevaeh’s sword was passed down in her family for many generations, and is now in her hands. It is made of iron, and is well forged. It also shows no signs of corrosion, which is particularly odd for iron. Nobody knows the meaning of the runes on the blade.
Leon’s sword was quite obviously custom made for him. It is finely made, set with six (common) gemstones on the guard, and an onyx cross in the pommel (which is identical to the one on his necklace) Dispite its regal finish, it is quite a capable weapon, especially in trained hands, although it is yet to see any real combat.
Nobody knows where Garble’s meat forks came from. Meat forks are traditionally made out of wood, and to make one (let alone two) out of something so precious as iron would be an act of both foolishness and arrogance. Then again, very little is known about Garbles himself, so it’s not much surprise that his weapons are equally mysterious
Jerius’s bow is simple but well crafted, and was made with the rough and tumble life of the forests in mind, and is therefore quite durable. His Sword is of similar vein.
I’m sorry if I’m intruding on your character’s designs too much, please don’t be afraid to tell me if it’s a problem in any way.
Here are your weapons. (This Picture is not finished yet.)
http://imageshack.us/a/img837/4182/780k.pngAh yes, and me and Sarngier have talked, and while he will still be playing in this RP, he will not be with the main party, nor will his side of the story even take place on the forums. You will get indirect knowledge of Karth’s actions however. My reasoning for this is two-fold:
1: He planned on playing a higher level character than I had expected (and I am accommodating by having him start outside of the party.)
2: Judging by what we have planned, he would have torn the party apart from the inside out, at an unacceptable speed. (As in, the whole thing goes to hell before we even get to halfway in the story.)
Acheron, i haven't included your character because i am not sure if you were still on board or not. You are still welcome to play if you're in.
