Alrighty! Now that all of the official OOC posts have been put up, time for all of you to chitchat, put up CS's, ask questions, etc. Enjoy! :3 On a side note, I'm putting all of my character sheets here (some will eventually trickle through, but all will be updated as the RP progresses on the post above this post. [hider=Gerald Clockwerk] [b]Name:[/b] Gerald Clockwerk [b]Race: [/b]Human [b]Gender: [/b]Male [b]Age:[/b] 32 (respectively) [b]Height/Weight:[/b] 5' 11"/123 lbs. [b]Personality/Interests:[/b] If there is one word that could be used to describe Gerald Clockwerk, it would be "[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrmNxwD-ifg]odd[/url]." Everything from his mannerisms, speech patterns, hand gestures, logical statements, and even the way he walks could be considered, without a doubt, odd. He seems like a fool, carelessly wandering through life, marching to the beat of his drum as he seems to things at random - especially with his borderline kleptomaniac habits. However, a few conversations with him and one will realize that how fast his mental cogs are spinning. Though he will never admit it, he is often two, three steps ahead of "the game" and takes advantage of this fact fully. Behind his c'est la vie attitude and strange charm, a mind of a genius lurks. But, with every genius, lies some disadvantages: he often confuses people, both with speech and action. Actions or "how things are done" for Gerald and are considered "normal" by the thief, many consider unproductive, meaningless or just plain silly. Also, the more serious he becomes, the more he jokes, though his eyes often reveal the hardness/seriousness of his attitude. However, if one manages to get past his quirks and embraces his riddled speech, one will find a valuable ally and possible friend. [b]Appearance:[/b] To the casual onlooker, Gerald is a man who belongs in the victorian age, with a steampunk twist. Aside his clothing, he dons a waxed mustache curled in handlebar fashion, his hat jauntily tipped to the right side (usually), and his coat is more than often fully buttoned to the top (his scarf often hide this fact however).

He wears a long [url=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--g30WpeQB8M/TqPQjPRSUtI/AAAAAAAABTc/Wqg1rkzaj8o/s1600/Long+Coat01.jpg]coat[/url], colored in a [url=http://static.fashionbeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/orangemain2.jpg]burnt orange[/url]; buttons line the entire right side, giving him the option to button the entire length of the coat if he chooses (and he often does). He will always be donning a [url=http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server6000/5038e/products/5855/images/10922/Top_Hat_2143__08997.1348261445.490.588.jpg]top hat[/url] colored in black, the its band is [url=http://static.fashionbeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/orangemain2.jpg]platted[/url] and holds a [url=http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1001/1399614604_5344bc9fc6_z.jpg?zz=1]flower[/url] from his homeland. Also, around his neck at all times, is a [url=http://www.knitrowan.com/files/patterns/Traveller%20Scarf%20260x310.jpg]scarf[/url] that has many shades of [url=http://img3.etsystatic.com/012/0/5758836/il_340x270.418179799_ppfv.jpg]red[/url] (bottom glove). As for other articles of clothing, Gerald wears a loose shirt under his jacket (which rarely is seen by anyone) and a pair of [url=http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/store/media/004563/tn_gcs_004563.jpg]pants[/url] (often tucked to his knees). When his pants are tucked, a pair of long striped [url=http://i.stpost.com/lorpen-ski-snowboard-socks-italian-wool-2-pack-for-men-and-women-in-black-charcoal-stripes~p~2355n_52~220.2.jpg]socks[/url] are revealed, as well as his [url=http://img0102.popscreencdn.com/158639831_converse-black-canvas-tall-hi-tops-boots-sneakers-youth-.jpg]shoes[/url]. He also always wears a pair of [url=http://www.artfire.com/uploads/product/9/679/99679/4699679/4699679/large/gothic_unisex_buckled_up_bondage_arm_warmers_with_metal_buckles_280e86a4.jpg]gloves.[/url] [b]Equipment[/b] Most of Gerald's equipment is survival based - a [url=http://th02.deviantart.net/fs10/PRE/i/2006/078/0/8/My_Zippo_by_UnKinD05.jpg]lighter[/url], a shard of flint, a tiny [url=http://karmarogue.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/hip_flask.jpg]flask[/url], a small lock picking kit and some pieces of dried meat. All of this is tucked into a small [url=http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/053/e/a/small_satchel_2_by_l1andy-d4qko8n.jpg]satchel[/url] that is usually hanging by his left hip. [i]Weapon(s)[/i] Gerald's only [url=http://www.weapons-universe.com/Swords/Cane_Swords/Cane-Swords.jpg]cane[/url] is his cane, that carefully conceals a hidden rapier. [b]Talents/Abilities[/b] Gerald is a thief, specializing in pickpocketing, espionage, foraging, and has some extent in lock-picking and safecracking. He has been stealing for as long as he can remember and it is his entire being. Also, as a thief, he has often found himself in sticky situations, allowing him to develop a unique style of sword play involving his cane and rapier-like blade in a dual handed combat style. However, his most noticeable and prominent ability is his natural magical ability to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=574ofe8NHLc]"jump"[/url] through space and time. This ability is limited to his sight, both his outward and his inner eyes. From an outward perspective, Gerald can blink to any point that he can visibly see. Behind a locked door? Peep through the keyhole and he's suddenly behind the door. See a thousand foot ledge? No problem. Can he vividly imagine a place? There is he, in the exact location, date, and time (depending on how much he can imagine) However, there is a weakness to this ability - while he should be able to jump multiple times within seconds, it puts a physical strain on him and has actually even severally injured him (heart attacks are no laughing matter). Therefore, he only can jump within 10 second windows. (Jump-wait 10 seconds-jump). Another limitation with this ability is anything over his eyes sight puts a tremendous strain on his body - the longer distance, the more strain. This strain can range from extreme exhausted to a blackout to even a coma.   [b]History:[/b] Born in the land of Terra, Gerald Clockwerk took the life of a pickpocket for the first twenty years of his life. [/hider] [hider=James Blackson] [b]Name:[/b] James Michael Blackson [b]Race: [/b]Human [b]Gender: [/b]Male [b]Age:[/b] 29 [b]Height/Weight:[/b] 6' 3"/ 185 lbs. (83 kgs) [b]Personality/Interests:[/b] James could only be described as a knight in shining armor. Well, minus the armor, and the addition of a cowboy hat, spurs, and gentlemanly attitude that one could only get from the country raised family. James has a heart of gold, is beyond loyal to family and friends, and will defend them fiercely, whether it be from death or a goading insult. He is friendly to most, honest as God himself, and a generally a good man - very few could hate this man. However, that being said, this isn't to say that he is a pushover, nor is he naive. He has a the judgement of a savvy buyer and has the wisdom as great as the mountains that he hails from. James is a fair man, willing to hear both sides of an argument before passing judgement. But, as all humans, he does have his faults. He has a great temper, and while patience is a strong suit for him, it can boil over to a terrible anger. He also has been known to the let spirits grab him and completely change his personality, which is why he avoids drinking heavily, but more for social reasons. [b]Appearance:[/b] [b]Details:[/b] [i]Body build: [/i][url=http://www.wallpaper4me.com/images/wallpapers/cowboy_hunk_ch01-788673.jpeg]Muscular[/url] [i]Hair:[/i] [url=http://www.mens-hairstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Men-long-blonde-hair.jpg]Long[/url] [i]Hair color: [/i]Dirty blond [i]Skin color:[/i] Tanned [i]Eye/Iris color:[/i] White/Sky blue [i]Notable Features: [/i]Big grin, 5 o'clock shadow, big blue eyes [b]Clothing Description:[/b] [url=http://www.nightmarefactory.com/IC11022.jpg]General Appearance[/url] James dresses like most cowboys, though he does have a different types of [url=http://www.nightmarefactory.com/IC11022.jpg]pants[/url] and has three sets of [url=http://www.hotboots.com/images/spurs1.jpg]spurs[/url] that he alternates between every once in a while. [b]Equipment[/b] [u]Shade[/u] James is never very far from his trusty horse, Shade. A highly intelligent horse, it has been known to untie simple knots, understand basic English commands, and even operate simple pumps and open simple doors. Other than that, everything he needs he carries on Shade: (2x) saddlebags (1x) lasso (1x) harmonica (1x) canteen (1x) holster, capable of holding twelve shots for his Colt Walker (~) A few boxes of ammunition [i]Weapon(s)[/i] James only has four weapons: His trusty [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Walker]Colt Walker[/url], his [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_Model_1886]winchester[/url] (with marksmen iron sights), his ever-close [url=http://www.knifemakersdatabase.com/CustomKnivesGalleries/CustomKnives/CustomKnivesPolk/BowieKnifePolkCompetition1-1024.jpg]bowie knife[/url], and his failsafe [url=http://furtradetomahawks.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/03.jpg]tomahawk[/url], passed on to him by his grandpappy that had fought in the Revolutionary War. [b]Talents/Abilities[/b] James is not a very complex man, but a skilled cowboy at that. He knows several types of knots and is adept with rope, is a skilled marksman, both rifle and revolver, is an accomplished knife thrower, and is a natural born leader. Through and through, he's just an American born cowboy who is as tough as nails and uses a lot of elbow grease. [u]Fate's Favor:[/u] For whatever reason, James has been blessed with extreme luck. While usually presenting itself in a game of cards, James has been known to dodge extremely dangerous situations by the luckiest of circumstances. [b]History:[/b] [/hider] [hider=Locien Werethden] [b]Name:[/b] Locien Werethden [b]Race: [/b]Elf [b]Gender: [/b]Male [b]Age:[/b] 301 [b]Height/Weight:[/b] 5'7" / 118 lbs. [b]Personality/Interests:[/b] The one thing that everyone will state about is Locien is one thing: he is a drunk. A babbling, jesting, drunk. It is nearly impossible to find him without a bottle in hand or any source of alcohol nearby within an arm's grasp. He is always outgoing, always willing to crack a smartass comment or friendly jest, depending on his mood. However, this just merely a mask. Under the jesting lies a wise being, capable of manipulating, conniving, and plotting - and does very well. As a traveling bard, he is gifted in the art of tongue and music; the use for these talents are fully abused to his whims, either with young women or those he intends to leech from or influence in a particular way. For anything else, he applies it to his life as the free spirit he is. [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://honorzeal.deviantart.com/art/Fernar-213720101]Visual Aid (Face)[/url] [b]Details:[/b] [i]Body build: [/i]Slim - abdomen is well defined. [i]Hair: [/i]Medium length; simple, single braid with a single bead at its end, on his left side, near face. [i]Hair color: [/i]White blonde [i]Skin color:[/i] Tannish [i]Eye/Iris color:[/i] [url=http://api.ning.com/files/X21tpGL84hdGOxeJzwwYoe5TIG7*uuoCAaGoRqPO9Gd8pLF7KasH*cUF7O0pnyUfZlATugfuk1vATp77f*DhzhQBgu8zDNhv/ethan20hazel20eyes_1.jpg]Hazel green[/url] [i]Notable Features: [/i]Charming smile, Scarred lips/forehead, Limp, Stiff leg [b]Clothing Description:[/b] Locien dresses for maximum comfort: a woolen, loose, white [url=http://assets.karmaloop.com/vendor/MNK/zoom/mp1217-porzoom1.jpg]shirt[/url] and loose harem [url=http://live.drjays.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Front-panel-Harem-Pants-by-deepstyle.jpg]pants[/url]. Also, as a glove/shoe hater, Locien has cloth straps [url=http://www.casalsboxingclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wrap-boxing-handwraps-200X200.jpg]wrapped[/url] around his hands and has leather [url=http://www.kineticwear.com.au/images/KneeHigh_GripSocks_HTBlack_scrunch.jpg]"shoes"[/url], complete with metal knobs for traction. As a bard, he also has an odd, knitted [url=http://img1.etsystatic.com/005/0/5918183/il_340x270.468999897_kn6x.jpg]hat[/url]; is only one [url=http://img1.etsystatic.com/002/0/7131170/il_570xN.360843163_d7iw.jpg]color[/url] and has four tassels, each having two brass bells at the end of them. [b]Equipment[/b] As a wanderer, Locien realizes that protection is necessary. However, since he values the movement of freedom so much, he only wears a [url=http://www.blackleather.eu/tuotekuvat/900x600/LARP6.JPG]piece[/url] of leather armor that cover the majority of his ribcage. As a bard, he is always found a with a [url=http://media.vam.ac.uk/media/thira/collection_images/2006AN/2006AN7936.jpg]cittern[/url], its craftsmanship ([url=http://www.cittern.theaterofmusic.com/new/img_friess/lf_cittern3_full.jpg]1[/url], [url=http://www.cittern.theaterofmusic.com/old/img_1600/07421914_C.jpg]2[/url]) directly from his own village. It is reinforced in several areas, allowing him to use it as an effective club if needed. The rest of his basic equipment (shard of flint, gold pieces) is held in a leather [url=http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/ed/55/5b/ed555b77ad241f5b88ef21844a8702fa.jpg]pouch[/url]. He also has a [url=http://www.awildernessvoice.com/images/wineskin.gif]wineskin[/url], in case of alcohol emergencies. [i]Weapon(s)[/i] Locien's only weapon is a family [url=http://www.deviantart.com/art/dagger-298344731]dagger[/url] that grows in size and weight depending on the user's emotional/stress levels. [b]Talents/Abilities[/b] Due to decades of training, Locien was able to master illusion magic, specializing in the voice and sound. He is able to change his voice at will, able to mimic voices, animal noises, etc. He is also able to create sounds beyond his own vocal chords, allowing him to create noise behind himself or others. He is also naturally gifted in the art of the tongue, allowing him to be very charismatic and persuasive. Also, as an excellent bard, he can play many stringed instruments and can actually conjure soothing/hypnotic tones through magic and music. However, at best, these charms can only last minutes, barely exceedingly 5 minutes, 10 minutes on rare occasions. These charms have also been known to fail 50% of the time, depending on who hears them. They usually affect all who hear them, friend and foe alike. [b]History:[/b] [WIP] [b]Character Note:[/b] Locien walks with a severe limp, due to a terrible accident in his youth. It is very noticeable when he is sober, as he tends to drag his entire right leg behind his pace. However, in his drunken staggering, it is not as painfully noticeable. [/hider] [hider=Lord Bartholomew "Bart" Tuskmort] [b]Name:[/b] Lord Bartholomew (Bart) Tuskmort [b]Race: [/b]"Crossbreed" [b]Gender: [/b]Male [b]Age:[/b] 45 [b]Height/Weight:[/b]5'10" / 210 lbs. [b]Personality/Interests:[/b] Bart's personality is like a spiny shell - it is blunt to a fault, rough as tree bark, and rugged as any hermit, both in mannerisms and speech. He is often a man of few words to customers, aiming to please and serve. However, as a regular or as an acquaintance, basic conversation can strike up. If you are interesting enough, he will ask some questions, but not enough to be considered probing. The more time you spend with him, the more layers he will reveal about himself. To those who invest time in him, one will find a great companion, business partner, or strong ally, depending on what the time was wanted for. While you might believe he is all brawn and no brain, it is quite the opposite. He has the mind of a general, the wit of the thief, and the thirst of a wizard - always seeking new things, always attempting to better himself through conversation and practice. He is a creature of habit, but habits change every so often, ranging from sleeping patterns to daily routines. He is the silent muscle in most relationships, and he likes it that way. "Let the Tusks do the talking - the rest will fall in line." [b]Appearance:[/b] Bart hails from a planet known as "Terra," where animal humanoids of various earth-animals are larger, have high intelligence, can speak, and have the ability to (and more than often) walk on two legs - this Terranian species has been nicknamed "Crossbreed." Bart is a boar-like Crossbreed, very similar to a Greek minotuar, except he has a [url=http://p2.la-img.com/686/19896/6787596_3_l.jpg]boar head[/url] . His body is covered with with hair. While he has a fiver fingered hand, his feet are hoofed. He also has various scars all over his body, including a long slash across his snout, a giant "x" across the right side of his abdomen, and three lines running parallel across his left pec. His hands are also severely scarred and gnarled; often described "like-tree-roots" To say that Bart is jacked is an extreme understatement - he literally a living muscle, though most of it blends well into his hairy body. However, his arms and shoulders are most prominent, rippling practically with every movement. [b]Details:[/b] [i]Body build: [/i]Stout, jacked [i]Hair: [/i]Short, starts from forehead and follows his spinal cord [i]Hair color: [/i][url=http://www.confidencetoshine.com/perfect10/images/swatch/large/4.jpg]Black brown[/url] [i]Skin color:[/i] Black [i]Eye/Iris color:[/i][url=http://farm1.static.flickr.com/36/117507275_8721605ae5_m.jpg]Strange[/url] Yellow-Green-Red [i]Notable Features: [/i]Eyepatch, Wild Eye, Cigar, Gnarled Hands [b]Clothing Description:[/b] Bart's choice of clothing reflects his personality - rugged, course, and practical. While it is uncertain that Bart has washed these clothes in the past year, he is always found wearing his [url=http://www.karmaloop.com/vendor/SPI/S8200-078md.jpg]coat[/url], sleeves cutoff and a [url=http://static.freepik.com/free-photo/celtic-knots-vector-set_627684.jpg]crest[/url] (bottom right) patched over his heart. He is also always, always wearing a [url=http://www.your-kilt.com/images/black.jpg]kilt[/url] As for accessories, Bart is of simple taste - a simple [url=http://cf.ltkcdn.net/jewelry/images/std/43429-250x165-Hoopearring.jpg]earring[/url] is inserted into both ears. For more practical reasons, an [url=http://www.fashiontrendsetter.com/accessories_images/2011/Tarkan-Holy-Eye-Patch-02.jpg]eyepatch[/url] is always over his right eye. [b]Equipment[/b] Bart has no need for equipment for the most part. However, he does tend to keep a matchbook and a case of cigars on his person at most times. [i]Weapon(s)[/i] Bart's only [url=http://raverunner.deviantart.com/art/Golden-Mace-112499807]weapon[/url] is one that has been passed from son to son in the Tuskmort family. Named Hsauq (HEH-SUCK), it is made a rare Terranian metal. It is rumored that the weapon is indestructible. [b]Talents/Abilities[/b] Living up to his family name, Bart is an expert in the art of war, capable of fighting without most weapons and hand-to-hand combat. He is also an accomplished blacksmith, brewer, and is an excellent musician, specializing in piano, accordion, mandolin, banjo, and saxophone. [i]Spells[/i] [u]Eye of the Seer[/u] A gift from a great dark wizard, Bart is capable of sizing up an individual by looking at them. Staring at them intently, he will receive a great feeling in the form a sixth sense, telling whether or not they could be dangerous and depending on how well guarded the individual is (magical wards, strong willpower, etc.), he is able to determine what the target specializes in. This ability intensifies is Bart looks into the eyes of his target, the crossbreed is able to probe into the mind of his target, capable of seeing memories, read thoughts, and any other information. However, this all depends on how guarded the target is and if the bridge between Bart and the target is broken. [b]History:[/b] [/hider] [hider=Ayano Hebi-Me] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myltH4huhpw][/url] [center]Character Theme[/center] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myltH4huhpw][/url] [b]Name:[/b] [url=http://www.behindthename.com/name/ayano]Ayano[/url] Hebi-Me [AY-AH-NO HEH-BEE-MEH] [b]Race:[/b] Kitsune [b]Gender: [/b]Female [b]Age:[/b] 82 [b]Occupation:[/b] Ninja/Thief [b]Height/Weight:[/b] 5' 10"/140 lbs. (66 kgs.) [b]Personality/Interests:[/b] Ayano is her father's daughter - sort of. On one hand, she [i]loves[/i] being a ninja and takes great pride in being highly skilled in her art. She has a grand sense of honor, just as her predecessor. This young kitsune has a great compassion for people and has been known to make great friendships from strangers, as well as going out of her way to help others in true superhero fashion. It has also been said, under the right circumstances, and if it just so happens to be the right day, Ayano has a heart of gold. However, that being said, she has some serious faults: Ayano knows that she's skilled, and thus is quite arrogant, even to the point of  prideful snideness and extreme elitisim - you are lucky to be receiving [i]her[/i] help and you should be grateful that [i]she[/i] graced you were with her presence. Ayano has little respect for authority and is quite rebellious, even against those who she knows that deserve her respect. You must take her in strides or love her very much, as she swings from both personalities quite frequently and unpredictably. One thing should be clear - she will never forget her honor, and she will never forget her family. Enter this inner circle and there is nothing she won't do or won't say to protect these people. If there is one thing that Ayano hates is oppression - period. It is mainly why she took up her father's mantle - to protect those who cannot protect themselves and to bring justice to those she believes who abuse their power. She believes that Tutmose could be united as one, without a need to divide the city by tall walls and society boundaries. She has her mother's dream and her father's eyes - a fantasy of equality and peace and a vision to make the fantasy a reality. To her, it is her job to save the people and oust the pressing Highs' Council - this is her destiny.

She has large [url=http://oriharaaiane.deviantart.com/art/Project-Kitsune-400722444]kitsune[/url] ears and two tails that she takes great pains to hide. Also, as she uses her natural abilities more and more, her fox tattoos ([url=http://artificialboyfriend.deviantart.com/art/Red-Kitsune-277749044]1[/url], [url=http://slodive.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/tribal-arm-tattoos/huge-tribal-arm.jpg]2[/url], [url=http://slodive.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/tribal-arm-tattoos/huge-tribal-arm.jpg]3[/url], [url=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j5A9KAyJoBQ/UZ5OPzHR_DI/AAAAAAAAALc/G0oHzdzl5jI/s1600/sexy-guy-full-back-tribal-tattoo-design-black-ink-swirls-curls-athlete-warrior-fighter-body-art-594x694.jpg]4[/url], [url=http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/235/1/7/maori__tribal_leg_by_monk3ys_tattoos-d5c6u15.jpg]5[/url]) become more prominent - the more she uses her abilities, the most they become prominent. They will become most visible when she reaches her maximum power limit.

[i]Spells[/i] [u]Hebi-Me Family Jujitsu[/u] A family trade secret passed unto Ayano by her father, it is rumored that if all five words (roughly translated to "Into The Snake-Eyed's Coil") are uttered while preforming the five hand gestures (both hands are required), one gains the strength, agility, and even traits of a snake, which are limited to: - The ability to "smell" heat (Limited Heat Vision) - The ability to spit poison (saliva become toxic) -  Prolonged Breath [u]Kitsune's Charm[/u] As the myth goes, kitsunes are very beautiful and charming. However, it also doesn't hurt to have your natural musk to contain a gas that produces specific chemicals in a beings brain. Ayano has such a "musk" that is virtually irresistible. However, this does not mean that it cannot be resisted, but eventually, if exposed enough, her victim will succumb to its chemical power. [b]History:[/b] Ayuna was a by-product of a lover's affair the legendary ninja Hebi-Me and the kitsune priestess Kuroda. Regardless, she was greatly loved by both parents and was brought up under the ways of the ninja and the religious, destined to be born and raised in The Lows of the The Crossroads. Her life has been one of difficulty, moving from home to home, for her father's life demanded it. She became aquatinted with most of The Lows - unfortunately, more with the lay of the land rather than its people. Later in her life, she watched her father die of old age and she continued his work, using the skills she had learned from him to provide for her mother and herself, even though there is a high tension between the two due to past events and disagreements.
