The DT. We start when all have posted their profiles, or roughly so.


Character Sheet

Code: Select all

[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Gender[/b] (other is an acceptable answer):

[b]Appearance:[/b]
[b]Race:[/b] (if you wish for a non-human, take it up with me. You know the drill)
[b]Personality: [/b]

[b]History:[/b] (uselessly detailed histories are useless)
[b]Other:[/b]

Take up any concerns or questions with me. I repeat, you know the drill.

Question: Do you have to use the names of the gods? Or just make it a part of your character's name?

When I was speaking to LouisCypher earlier he said we wouldn't actually use the original names of the gods/heroes. Maybe some subtle reference to them would be fun though?

Name: Dyfri "Archer" Johnson
Age:22
Gender: Male

Appearance:6’2” tall, medium build, muscular and strong. He’s got brown hair that is usually messy, intense brown eyes, and a scruffy facial hair accenting a lean face.
He usually dresses in simple brown tunics, canvas trousers, soft leather boots, and a cloak. He always has a quiver on his back and usually a longbow in his hand.

Race: Human, Water god descendant.

Personality: Archer tends to be quiet and mild, and has very good patience. He’ll stay with you all day, trying to teach you something, if you’re honestly trying to learn the skill. He’s got a sharp wit, however, and it eeks out if he doesn’t believe you’re trying as hard as you can.
He’s got a weakness for those who can’t defend themselves. He’s been in more than a few scuffles, defending women, children, and the elderly—though he very rarely gets into fights on his own behalf. He can laugh off any insult you can think of—though he’s more likely to turn it around on you, than simply ignore it.

History: Archer doesn’t remember his family. He grew up on the streets, not knowing anything but his first name, “Dyfri”. He drifted from town to town, usually stealing rides in wagons of travelers, going by a different name in every city.

When he discovered his water magic when he was young, by accident, when he got angry. (Omits needless details) It scared him, and he vowed to get control of his temper. Gathering the supplies he needed, he went deep into the woods and started training when he was twelve. He didn’t go back to the city until he was fifteen, and was a skilled archer, and decent with the blade. He began spending time in pubs, drinking and talking to the men who came in.

When asked about his bow, he’d proudly announce that he was an archer. Shortly after, he took on the name Archer. He gradually developed a story about his family, to tell people when they asked. He began telling people that his dad, John, was a reputable warrior in distant lands—and eventually sparked the belief that there was a mighty warrior in distant lands, and that he was the son of that man. John’s son—and so his last name was sparked.

Sorry Disk, all the slots have been claimed.

Hi, all!

Profile coming up.. in some time xP

Hm.

Name: Tempé (Theo) Logan
Age: 17
Gender: female
Ancestor: Chronos (Time)

Appearance: She is the kind of girl that goes unnoticed unless she wishes to be noticed. She's rather small, with short (and messy) black hair, and can pass for a boy if not observed too carefully. Her eyes are light, gray-ish blue, she's slender and has thin fingers and wrists (which comes in handy for her professions). On the right side of her face, she has a scar in the shape of an X, which she's (not quite successfully) covering with a tattoo - that goes around the back of her neck, and it's hard to tell where it ends. Mostly she wears boy's clothes, seeing it's easier to move in those, though she does like the feeling dresses give her.

Race: human, though people tell of all kinds of things

Personality: Tempé is, simply put, moody. She's patient (to the point of making people freak out), cold and calm most of the time, but one can never actually tell how she might react. When she appears confused and lost in time and space, she usually knows exactly what she's doing and what she wants, and often vice versa.
She smiles fairly often, though not all of her smiles are sweet - some can quite efficiently creep a person out. She also enjoys teasing, and answering questions with other questions, and she's very good in making things appear the way she needs them to appear (her feelings included). She's relatively nice to people, but doesn't really care about most of them - she will more often than not use them to get something she wants - and she likes putting pieces together in unusual ways, to see what happens and if she'll invent something new. She has a soft spot for children.

History: There isn't much that she finds important to mention, even if she does for some reason start talking about it; her mother died at childbirth, and her father was hanged as pirate as she was eight, leaving her alone with her twin brother Theo. They spent their time on the streets, until a lady of high society decided to take Tempé in. She was to leave her brother behind, but she would sneak out every now and then and they'd switch places (she never looked particularly girlish, and they were young enough for no one to notice). They discovered their little play, however, and the lady sent them away, and that's when an old clockmaker took them in. He needed them for their thin fingers, to handle tiny parts of the mechanisms, and he grew to love them. Besides the clock-business, he taught them some old magic tricks, and the twins started performing in the streets. One day, however, her brother got ill, and not long after that, Tempé was left the only member of her family.
She lives with the clockmaker and assists in his shop during the days, and performs tricks and tells tales as "Theo" during the nights.
It's not a particularly big secret, though she doesn't talk about it - most people don't notice even if they see both of her editions.
As for the scars, she will never mention how she got them - and same goes for the tattoos.

Other: She is fascinated by spiders, and has no problem with other kinds of "scary" bugs and animals either.
She's also sometimes uses opiate substances to get ideas for new tricks and whatnot.

Name – Kiran Aster
Ancestor - Dohs
Age - 18
Race - Human
Gender - Male

Appearance -
Dark brown scraggly hair and brown eyes.
Clothes are usually quite scruffy and mucky. Typically wears a threadbare white shirt, brown trousers and scuffed boots. Tends to try and blend in.
He's small for his age and lean with dark skin.



Personality –
Kiran is quiet and very wary of people in general. He prefers to move from place to place by himself as he sees people as complications that only make his life harder.
Kiran can be very blunt but also good at deflecting people, changing their attention from him to something else or shifting the conversation in a way that better suits him.
Kiran is often watchful and silent. People ask less questions that way and he sees more. However when engaged he can have quite the smart mouth on him.
He likes his life easy and that means being alone.

History –
Kiran doesn’t care for his history much. It’s full of people who turned their back on him when they couldn’t handle the truth.
Ask him if you like but you will most likely be met with stony silence.

Other –
Kiran can’t lie.

Name: Thane, just Thane.
Age: 23
Gender (other is an acceptable answer): Male
Ancestor: Thanatos

Appearance: Thane likes wearing nice clothes. He prefers black or shades of it, because he thinks it makes him look cool and mysterious. Tights, a black tunic, belt, and of course, the executioner's hood and cape. His hair is ash blond, shaved off t the sides, growing unruly where it does grow, his eyes watery green.

Race: Human, though he suspects not all of his ancestors were.

Personality: Thane, as a child, always disturbed people. He was the quiet one, the one you didn't want to bother because you were, more often than not, afraid of him. That hasn't changed. He's selfish, somewhat vain (though he values his own appearance more than what others think about it), and lazy -- Thane will always try to achieve the best possible result exerting himself as less as possible. He's somewhat sadistic, enjoying his profession. Somewhat touchy, can't handle jokes very well, especially when directed at him. He reacts violently to what he can't cope with.

History: His teen years were troubled. He was caught vivisecting small animals at the age of seventeen and sent (far, far) away, in the big city of Reistera, where he earned himself a reputation as a small time thief and miscreant. He was caught several months later and threatened with death. Thane chose the other path and opted to serve as the city's executioner. There isn't a man in town more skilled with an ax or more capable of tying knots. It was about that time he changed his personal name to Thane, and discarded his family name.

Other: skilled in the arts of petty theft, very skilled with an ax. Physically fit. Somewhat claustrophobic, has a respect-fear relationship with snakes and other scaly reptiles.
