Hmm, more detailed description of upper body? That'll be coming up in an hour or two, not that is bitch about free art.

[Remuthra]

I give full artistic freedom to the artist. My concept of my character is "Angel in full plate with metal wings and the personality of an Imperial Inquisitor".

[Xantalos]

Myrln is a winter Fae, with longish black hair that has a silvery streak in it. He has long, sharp features reminiscent of many typical fairies and such - the thin chin, high cheekbones, etc. His skin also has a kinda snowflakey look to it, IIRC. Wasn't it sparkly or something? I forget. Uh... he's lithe but muscled, like one of those Greek statues, and has a perpetual look of amusement on his face.
Now that I've been way too specific in my attempt to remember what Myrln looked like after his Fae transformation, was that good enough?

Oooh jeez, just reading the rules makes me want to join this so bad.
Edit: and now that I see that the first handful of posts (this thread) are from May of last year, i'm a little less excited.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

I get the feeling we'll be prodding a few alpha party members we haven't heard from in a few months soon, so if you're worried about a slot, there's hope.

[SOLDIER First]

oh god, that's a lot of stuff to read in the masterpost (not that i can't/won't read it)
oh god this isn't really something you can easily jump into

[Xanmyral]

Who in the world would be mean about free stuff?

Spoiler: Detailed Jewel Description - TL;DR at bottom (click to show/hide)

His general physical structure is more akin to that of a human than a dwarf, he's not actually that stocky although he is on the bulky side for humans. His body is detailed in a manner similar to Greek marble statues: his face has the details one would expect on a human, and generally does look like one, albeit nothing particularly sticks out from his facial features. The smaller details are lost under the layer of dirt however, smoothing out some of the smaller wrinkles and features while leaving him looking like he's covered in some small-grit sandpaper texture-wise.

His face is, as said before, rather generic although there are a few standouts. His nose is broad, ears flat and close to his head, with his face typically proportioned. A slight tell of his "cheekbones" are there, but they don't show well with the dirt and general facial structure. His eyes and teeth are the standouts, his eyes being pupil-less, flat-ish chunks of some material that looks akin to raw glass. His teeth are all slabs of stone more similar to a mix between incises and molars, more meant to crush whatever is eaten instead of cut (geared towards eating stone, basically).

His hair is probably the most comical part of him, which is what I can best describe as a cross between chia pet and moss. He tries to keep it short because otherwise it winds up turning into a horrible mixture that can only be described as a green afromullet. That, and it tries to connect the patches that serve as his 'eyebrows' and 'beard'. So basically, in it usual state, its very close to the 'skin' as he tries to keep it under control.

He has a few scars, which are sections where the dirt returned thinner (if at all), and I give free license on that really.

TL;DR: Short mossy hair, broad nose, muted facial features and human proportions. Flat-ish raw glass like eyes without pupils, all teeth are a kind of mix between molars and incisors. Skin has a look akin to fine grit sandpaper.

Oooh jeez, just reading the rules makes me want to join this so bad.

Like Grizz said, a few people might of vanished on us.

Morgred's upper body is bone - of course - but for a shirt it has worn studded leather. The skull is covered in cracks in a runic pattern. The teeth are filed filed to points and what passes for a mouth on a skull is curved into a shit-eating grin. The colour of it's bones is a dirty brown, while the leather it wears is dark brown/black. It's shoulders are fairly wide, evidence of a strong back/arms in life and the bones that make up the arms are quite thick and strong.

How's that for a description?

[GrizzlyAdamz]

How wide are the nares, how pronounced the brow, how square the jaw?

Well, we know Mor and Myr are in. I will send official prods tomorrow, and descriptions when the cast of Act 2 is confirmed.

By the way, there will be an interlude and a one shot between 1 and 2. Working title is Adventurers: Act One And A Half: King of the Hill. Simply described, up to ten level 10 characters will enter a deathmatch / obstacle course / race,  PvP and PvE.

It starts on the beach next to a bar,  goes through several miles of the automated defense system of a paranoid lunatic with more money than God,  through a rainforest filled with mines and highly motivated felons, into a cave system and through a volcano, past a secret government military base, into the Hell Gates, the backside of hell directly to the Ascendant Plane, and finally to a seaside cliff where the survivors are in a  no-holds-barred sprint back to the bar.

I'm not sure what the prize will be, but it is likely to include art and probably a few levels to be distributed among the victors as they please. Yes, you can do teams, but there are exactly three winners.

Flight will do you very little good when it comes to bypassing obstacles, for the record, given the missile batteries discouraging flight above 75 feet.

[Remuthra]

Does this act 1.5 require new characters? We don't seem to be close to level ten.

[Ross Vernal]

You guys can use existing characters and power level them, or craft new ones. It is outside of canon.

Yes, the Virtues and Flaws requirements will be less stringent.

[Rolepgeek]

That oughta be fun.

Can I ask people not to make super-optimized characters for a race? No Teleportation and Phase-Walk spam type of things?

I'll probably be using some version of my Manavoid Templar.

[Remuthra]

In that case, I'd had an idea for some sort of robotic gun platform character.

[Ross Vernal]

Teleport is a 10th plus level spell on par with "Mass True Resurrection" and "Permanent Immunity to X."

You are vaguely familiar with Ross as a 60+ level wizard, and without the Greater Artifact Lodestone, his teleport radius is roughly one mile. That might help put the difficulty in perspective. There is a fuckton of math or an imperial fuckton of brute force to do it without accidentally, you know, accidentally teleporting your upper half into the mantle/core/hovering in hard vacuum.
