[OOC] Free Winds

[Mr Nim]

I dont think EVERYONE will know each other. Who will know a cook that doesnt come from there originally? My personal opinion though.

[Jedly]

Oh, yeah, of course. I'm just speaking for my character in particular. His relations are definitely not the standard for the rest of the characters, that is the RPers choice.

[j8cob]

I imagine that the majority of the Krukow characters would know each other or have some kind of relationship already. Of course, we have to account for history variables. People who are new to Krukow or just visiting won't really be buddy-buddy with the people that grew up their entire lives there.

And since most everybody has gotten their sheets done/up, I'll start working on getting the IC started. I'm going to need to have a word with Jedly and solokolos in regards to their characters, but once the IC is started it will be fairly straightforward for everyone else.

As a little note in case it hasn't been noticed thus far, I don't like looking at incomplete sheets. So for the two that are still working on sheets, take heed. Not like you have to be done before the IC is up, but after a certain point it will be a bit too late. Take your time, but make it good.

[j8cob]

Double post because I can.

The IC is now up. Characters that have been approved can now post. There is a phrase for what is happening right now...

The calm before the storm. >:D

[Cuco]

Anyone who isn't adverse to getting drunk in a seedy bar is free to come on down to Nora's! She'll appreciate your money company!

[Jedly]

Everybody's opening posts look grand. Mine should be up tomorrow, I'll be able to write it during after school studyhall if my teachers don't assign me too much homework.

[Ink-berry]

I'm sorry about the delay with my form, but I'll post a WIP here while I'm at it. :3 I'll probably finish it tomorrow, if my teachers don't give me too much homework.

WIP

Name:
Sylvan 'Juno' Ingram
Nickname:
None at the moment.
Gender:
Male
Age:
19
Age Appearance:
Sylvan looks relatively young (as well as being shorter than average) for his age.
Appearance:


The image above, but Sylvan is beginning to develop a bad case of cataracts in his left eye.

Personality:
Sylvan, if anything, is an extremely impulsive person (although even that's somewhat of an understatement). It's not really that he can't think ahead, it's just that the excitement of the moment spurs him on. Really, he lives in the present, and just can't bother with stopping and thinking about the past or the future. Sylvan also appears to be rather apathetic towards others, but in tight situations, he nearly always tries to play the role of the hero. This never really turns out well (as he's basically charging into danger), but the attempted heroism is, like everything else he does, more of an impulsive thing than anything else.

Efficiency seems to matter quite a lot to him, as well, since he tends to try and get things done as quickly as possible. If you're working with Sylvan and start slacking off, he'll be onto you in an instant. While he thinks he's great at group work, he really annoys his group with his tendency to tell others what to do. "Stuck up" and "braggart" would be another thing he's considered as (really, though, his actions are mostly motivated by his need for attention). Sylvan's fairly awful at reading others' emotions, and frequently (although unintentionally) upsets others all the time. He's also quite emotionally unstable, as his emotions will quickly flicker from one to the next in a matter of seconds.

He's also quite a bookworm, and, if he spots you with a book, he'll nag you incessantly until you hand it over. If there's a library of any sort around, he'll most definitely be there. Sylvan's also seems to enjoy taking others' ideas apart (although this applies to himself, as well, as he's constantly berating himself). Curiosity would be another one of his negative traits - this gets him into trouble much too often for his own good.

Backstory:
At the age of seventeen, Sylvan's accomplished little with his life.

Sylvan was raised .

Classification:
Black mage

Skills:
- Sylvan has an almost photographic memory, as he's able to remember things he's seen in vivid detail. However, the longest he's been able to retain a memory like this is for only an hour or two.
- He also has a knack for sneaking around undetected.
- Being a black mage, Sylvan has the ability to spread disease. This only works as long as he's in contact with a person, though (so he can't spread it to more than three people at a time). Even then, it drains nearly all his energy and causes him to lose consciousness for a few hours. The "disease" is never really that serious, either, as it usually just causes . The worst he could inflict would be something similar to the black death, but the strain would literally kill him.
He's only used black magic once before, and that didn't end well. He denies even having the ability at all, and refuses to use it unless he's in extreme danger.

Techniques:
None at the moment.

Equipment:
- A pack of cigarettes, usually precariously sticking out of his pocket.
- A small dagger hidden up a sheath his sleeve. Sylvan does carry his rapier occasionally, but only if he feels the need to defend himself. (Otherwise, he leaves it in his room.) When he brings it with him, he carries it in a sheath on his belt.

Position:
If the situation calls for it, Sylvan would probably be the prime candidate for infiltration, being able to sneak around unnoticed as well as remember things in detail to report back to the rest of the crew.

- Name -
Benjamin "Benny" Lyre

- Age -
8

- Gender -
Male



- Personality -
Benny is your average happy, bubbly little boy who loves pretty much everything that's not tall or imposing or in the dark. He's very friendly, easily able to strike up a conversation with just about anyone. With friends, he tends to yell out their name, then jump on their backs or shoulders affectionately as a greeting. Because of his adorable face and attitude, he tends to get out of trouble a lot with his signature puppy-dog eyes. He's also very curious and nosey, making sure he knows exactly what everyone's doing before he moves on to any other topics.

- Backstory -
Benny was born in to a loving family on the small island of Krukow, a sleepy little island where just about nothing happen. As soon as he could talk, he talked a lot. He was social at the youngest age one could possibly be social, first with his parents, then with kids at school, after that his teachers, and finally, at the age of 5, he even talked to complete strangers. Due to the islands friendly nature, his parents didn't see any danger in it, so they let Benny walk and talk to random people as he pleased. One man, a traveler, gave him a mechanical butterfly toy out of kindness for talking with him. He still carries it around today.

At the age of 7, Benny discovered that he was a mage in a very unfortunate event. At recess during a school day, another kid stole his butterfly toy and refused to give it back. After trying to get it back, Benny became agitated, and generated an explosion while letting out a scream of frustration. The explosion was small, but with the overwhelming concentration of kids, Benny managed to hurt a lot of children, himself and the thief included. His parents rushed to the school after a phone call was made, and Benny was rushed home. Thankfully, Benny didn't get too hurt from his generated explosion, but the same couldn't be said for most of the other kids caught in the explosion, most needing to spend a few nights in the hospital. An investigation was held as to what exactly caused the explosion. No one was able to pinpoint the exact cause of the explosion, but most fingers were pointed at Benny. For a period of time, he was taught at home by a private tutor, as he was banned from the public school for a while out of fear. However, after a few months, the incident was forgotten, and he was allowed back in to school. However, a lot of the school, the kids caught in the explosion especially, weren't very welcome of Benny once he returned, steering clear of him as often as possible, shooting glares at him whenever they got close.

- Classification -
Black Mage

- Skills/Techniques -

Happy Aura - Being around Benny is usually enough to turn anyone's bad day in to a better one, however slight that change may be. His persistent nature helps this along greatly.

Jumping/Climbing - Benny has a tendency to jump on people he knows as a greeting, so he's developed an exceptional jumping height, able to jump on to people's backs or shoulders with a single bound. If said person is taller than the average human, then Benny will climb up said persons body after jumping and latching on to it until he's reached a comfortable position.

Explosion - Benny has only been able to use this ability once. When Benny is in a distressed mood, he'll let out a loud scream, releasing a lot of his stored mana at once to generate an explosion. The explosion damages everything within range of it, Benny included, however he does have a little bit of resistance to it.

- Equipment -

Mechanical Toy Butterfly - A butterfly that Benny received from a traveler. It's able to fly by itself, powered by solar and Aura energy. It has an AI system, able to memorize a few people as friendly. It's also able to recognize strangers. It usually tends to avoid unfamiliar faces, but if Benny is near said stranger, the butterfly will fly over their heads, just out of reach. Benny has named the butterfly Archibald, calling it by that or Archy.

- Position -
Possibly a lookout. Not a lot a little kid can do on a ship crew...

Took a bit longer than expected, but posted.

[Eklispe]

I got accepted by J8cob via PM hai guys should have my opening post in today.

Name: Jarvan
Nickname: None
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Age Appearance: 17-21

Appearance: Jarvan is about 5 feet and 9 inches and weighs about 150 pounds.

Personality: Jarvan is a kind hearted soul who believes in the innate goodness of humans and tries to be friendly to everyone he meets. He doesn’t usually have a very dominant personality but when in battle he is willing to take command. He is willing to do whatever it takes to save people, whether they are long standing friends, or people he has just met. Jarvan has always wanted to explore the world but has never really had a chance to. He also sometimes has a feeling of lacking, like he could be doing something more important, but he is content for now hunting rift monsters and protecting his friends. Jarvan has always wanted to be a hero. Jarvan feels like if he had magic then he could do much more and is envious of people who do have magic but tries not to let it show because he feels it is an unworthy thought.

Back story: Jarvan was born in Krukow and has never left the island or even heard much about the anywhere else besides the obvious rumors about the Crucible and the Free wind. Jarvan’s mother had died in childbirth and his father was a rift hunter. Jarvan decided that he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. He trained very hard to become strong like his father, until at around the age of 15 his father died sealing off an abnormally large rift, Jarvan wasn’t seen on the island for several weeks, but when he came out he threw himself back into his school work and his training with a renewed effort.

Jarvan decided that he would make a unique armor out of the bodies of the rift monsters that he killed, most of the monsters that they fought had unique properties and he would utilize them as they came. It's not like they had very advanced materials on the island but he figured if he could take advantage of the monsters bodies to protect himself, after all, how did that saying go? Fight fire with fire. Jarvan hadn't been able to find many useful monster parts yet and has only crafted an armor that offered him basic protection similar to stiffened leather armor.

He also made a spear that would give him an advantage in melee combat and he crafted it so that, running on Aura and solar energy, he could shoot out a paralyzing blast of energy. The blast was strong enough to at least slow down even the largest monsters coming out of the rifts but would probably only knock out a human for a day or so. When Jarvan came of age to be able to be a rift hunter he immediately joined and made a name for him-self as an expert rift hunter and was often called on, especially when the large monsters appeared, his ability to slow or disable them was devastating to the monsters. Jarvan was paid well for the work but he wasn’t sure really what to do with the money he received and unlike some of the other rift hunters he didn’t want to spend it getting drunk in the local bar. Jarvan merely decided he would save it, for what he had no idea but it couldn’t hurt to have it right?

Classification: Tank
Skills: Cooking (specifically deserts), has experience patching things together and working with weapons. Effectively using his spear in combat

Techniques: None yet.

Equipment:
Amour-


Spear-


And a large amount of powerful stun grenades
Position: Heavy lifter, grunt work
