[syvarris]

Tempted to play a talking cat, but nah.  Just do Xin again.  It perfectly suits him to be a constant in the game.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Eternal Xin
Description: A tall but thin male human, clad in a mixture of light plating, chain, and leather, all dyed a dull dark gray.  While servicable and decently effective, the armor is clearly ancient, with innumerable dents, scratches, and frayed edges.  An old ribbon of bright blue cloth once hung from the tip of the pointed helmet, but is now little more than short rags; a once-magnificent cape is in a similar state, whatever heraldry it held now forgotten and unrecognizable.

Xin's deathly pale face is the only skin revealed by the outfit.  He is not quite alive, nor is he quite dead; ages ago, he was part of an elite order of knights who were granted a limited form of immortality, which halts death and loss of function, but does not prevent or heal particularly severe wounds.  Out of love and rage, he betrayed his order at a crucial moment--stealing away their only chance at a great glory.  As punishment, Xin was decapitated by his former master, and sentenced to an eternity of penance, assisting other knights with whatever quests they may have, no matter his feelings.
Talents: Berserker, Mobility/dodging, psychometry
Weapon: Farron Greatsword and Dagger

Additional information: While Xin's armor is decently effective, he relies chiefly on dodging, parrying, and rapid evasion to avoid damage.  The dagger is not only a weapon and parrying tool, but also a mobility and grabbling tool in itself.

Also he has a very big pet wolf mount, gained in the wolf kingdom.  It isn't part of his immortality curse, he just likes animals and is comforted by having a loyal mount.

I forget why he got a wolf to start.  Doesn't seem appropriate unless we're doing wolf nation twice.

If you don't want to rehash a character:

Spoiler: Cat (click to show/hide)

Name: Vuq.  Not 'bug'.  It rhymes with the curse.
Description: A pure black housecat.  Can speak, and cast magic.  I feel uncreative.

Skills:
Psychokinesis (jedi force push/pull/grab)
Psychometry (discover random facts about something by touching it)
Stealth

[Devastator]

(I'm fine with a rehash.)

Taking five, this seems to be somewhat more popular than I expected.  Thanks for all the applications!

Syvarris's Xin.

Bonus rolls, (11),(5),(8)

Startwolf was his equipment roll from the bonuses last time.  It was a poor roll and I figured a mount with limited bonuses would be appropriate.

Spoiler: Xin's Charsheet (click to show/hide)

As above, let me know if you feel an ability is inappropriate.  I'll start it during the weekend.  Thanks for all the interest!  If anyone drops out, I may take another player to replace them.

[Lenglon]

Sweet! It looks like we have a decent spread across the team too. one caster/healer, one sneaky, and several fighters.

uhhh, where is Terinas' character sheet? For that matter, where is Gnwbimbir and Xin's character sheet?

[Magmacube_tr]

uhhh, where is Terinas' character sheet? For that matter, where is Gnwbimbir and Xin's character sheet?

Rest of the charsheets will follow.

Dev has been active opposite to my (american) sleep schedule, so give it a day.

[Crystalizedmire]

So that was what "rest of the charsheets will follow" meant

[Devastator]

Yes.  Sheets are up.  I'm sorry if you didn't make it, I wasn't expecting this much interest!  Thanks for the applications.

Do let me know if you'd like anything changed or tweaked.

[Lenglon]

So, um, Ahrian has a pretty big background and all, what about everyone else?

Like, our berserker Xin seems to have some history from another game, would you be interested in sharing some of it sy? Is he from a clan with a history of rage warriors? Is it a curse he's adapted to his own purposes? something else?

Or Terinas the bear, are they a transformed human? an awakened animal? an eldritch monstrosity disguised as a bear? Were they always like this? Is the character based on Sir Bearington? How bear-like is he and how human-ish is he?

Is Gnwbimbir going on this journey to explore? to escape the anger of a practical joke gone wrong? to earn acclaim and make the human realm recognize a gnomish homeland? Because he's fascinated by Terinas and wants to see just how much a humanoid bear can get away with? Why is his hat venomous? What kind of venom?

Is Lancelot THE Lancelot from Arthurian stories? Is he someone that read the stories and has decided to attempt to embody the person they most admire from them? Are the similarities entirely a coincidence? Where'd he learn to joust? What made him decide this is a worthy and noble quest? Does he think this is a worthy and noble quest or is it a task beneath him that has been saddled upon him by his lord?

[syvarris]

((Dev ran a prototype for this game awhile back, through PMs; Xin was my character in that game.  Beyond that, he's just an expy of an Abyss Watcher, who also happens to be a dullahan because cool.  His backstory and lore was something unrelated to anything, which I wrote up at the time because I was feeling creative.  I do not feel creative now.

If you want to get roleplay or stories or whatever, say words at him IC and I'll try and come up with interesting text.  Might want to wait for Dev to properly start the game.  Or you could just assume we all meet in a tavern, I guess.))
