A WIP of some of the concepts I've been throwing around. I don't know how many or which of them I will play, but they are here regardless. [hider=Angeni] Name: Angeni Species: pukwudgie Court: neutral Title: none Appearance: Often seen wearing a hooded rabbit leather trenchcoat over her quills. She is tall for her species –3.5 inches in full height, 3 inches hunched over-- but her eyes still glow like the last flickering embers of a camp fire. Her short fur is a darkened, sooty brown, as are her quills, though the latter have small stripes if one looks carefully enough. Background: Angeni grew up like most pukwudgies; raised by her parents for the few years before the family split apart, the needs of the family satisfied, her father taking over the territory. Angeni survived relatively easily, getting most of her charm from fae too confident about their dreamstone/flux capacitor security. However, after one charm heist gone wrong, Angeni found herself the prisoner of a Troll/goblin society hidden beneath the bowels of the city. Noticing the potential of her natural attributes, she was kept within iron shackles, her spines only allowed to grow long enough for their poison filled points to be cut off and harvested. With the danger of her body contained, Angeni was used for torturous entertainment by the dark fae who captured her, trying to break her spirit, her glamer, and her body through the cruelty of boggarts and goblins, and under the threat of becoming dinner to the monsterous trolls. Yet the young pukwudgie bided her time, eventually making a successful escape from the underbelly of the goblin dominion. Upon her escape, she met a Sidhe who persuaded her to assist his ventures by providing a physical motivation for those who didn't pay his taxes. However, she eventually found herself as nothing more than a willing slave to his aggressive whims, and left promptly. She has since lived nomadically, moving through easily defended areas and holding them for short periods of time, aggressively distrustful of most fae she comes in contact with. Personality: stoic and disdainful, Angeni lives her nomadic life alone. This has severely hurt her speaking skills to the point where she often remains quiet, only talking if necessary. Angeni believes that words are nothing next to actions, and thinks lowly of those who speak without fully expressing the truth. Very few ever get past her hardened emotional shell, and whether anything exists beneath it anymore is a mystery. Talent: Unbreakable will Knack: survivalist skills. Flaw: anger prone Major Skills: Tracking, quill weapon handling, stealth, hand to hand combat Glamers: poanwa 2 (though her spirit was not broken, her eros 1 was shorn from her during the goblin torture. Charms: three small dreamstone shards, each dangling from a sinew cord around her neck. Artifacts: a wooden staff, whose knotted head wraps around an enchanted glass vial of pukwudgie poison. Should she hit a creature hard enough with it, the glass will shatter, but reform within an hour. Mount/Conveyance: walking, climbing, sprinting. She is very limber and capable of finding a physical path to where she needs to go. Allies: none Equipment: thin bow made from rodent bone, a few small gut sacks of ashes, quiver for arrows, [/hider] [hider=Enthl] Name: Enthl Species: Tengu Court: Unseelie Title: inhabitant? Appearance: he normally stands straight and proud, in beautiful suits of bat wing leather and shining beetle ornamentation. Background: Raised in a reasonably well off troop, Enthil was devious from his birth. Bored with the conquests of normal fae, he instead found entertainment as a trickster, fooling and daring his friends to bring a quick laugh and other immediate games. As he grew, so did his ego and his intelligence; before long, his simple pranks became in depth schemes, his toying became a more subtle form of trickery. But as his tricks grew darker, he found himself slowly outcast from his group, and sought employment with the shadier sides of the fae world. He currently employs himself as an expert gracker, playtesting the devices created by gnomes and alfar to make sure they will last after creation, or hacking into computer systems for other fae to connect to human technology system. However, he has also been known to take jobs involving persuasion and deciet, as who would ever guess that such a kind and gentlemanly fae would be hiding a well paying group of goblins behind that wall? Personality: Proud and arrogant, yet fully gentlemanly in exterior appearance, behind that kind-hearted gaze lies a mind ready to pick yours apart. Believing fully that his talent in gracking is expanded to finding flaws in arguments and hardened emotional shells, he confidently (and often successfully) removes that shell from reserved fae, twisting his words to find those cracks and gain the faes' trust. However, at the end of the day, he cares for little beyond himself, and bears no remorse for those who fall into his traps. Talent: Connivingly eloquent Knack: At the end of the day, Getting exactly what he wants Flaw: Greedy, and unable to deny a personal challenge Major Skills: speaking/seducing, hacking, reading intentions, Glamers: Eros 1, Gracking 2 Charms: He doesn't have anything of his own, but he makes friends easily enough to meet his needs. Artifacts: None! He has taken apart most that he has owned, and is confident enough in his own skills to not rely on additional magics. Mount/Conveyance: small animals, such as mice, that he tames through Eros. He has not grown attached to any, and therefore have not kept them beyond required use. Allies:Many, though constantly changing. Most fae he leaves on a good note, and those fooled by him are rarely believed because of it. Equipment: a flash drive with expansive space, the half inch size that are often fitted on keychains. A flat edge on the chassis of the drive also serves as a makeshift screwdriver if essential. A large satchel holds this, shiny human baubles used for seduction purposes, wrapped foodstuffs, and other essential traveling goods. A knife is also stashed in his bat leather boots for emergencies.
