Lovely, no one has beaten me to my idea :D expect a character sheet this afternoon

[VitaVitaAR]

@Goldeagle: I'm sorry, but the huge lack of information in the personality field of his bio makes it kind of difficult to figure out how he'd really act.

@Zombehs: There are a couple thing I noticed, firstly that you say he was discovered and a young age as if it's unusual. It's more unusual for a Dragonslayer not to be recognized at a young age, really. ^^;

@Winter: Looks good, accepted.

@Luminance: She looks mostly okay, but I'm going to take a bit longer to get my final verdict up.

[Gareth]

Still open?

[VitaVitaAR]

Yes, it is.

[Art of Fun]

Hmm. How intelligent is the average dragon? Are we going with them being more beast-like?

It was more towards the point that "Dragonslayers inhibit strength, often beyond what their appearance would suggest."

For Feron, the general reaction was more, "Ok, yeah that's about as expected," cause he is and grew up huge. Edited it to make that a bit more clear though.

Well, that depends on the Dragon. Some are more beast-like, others are intelligent as any person. The only constant is that every single one seen so far is evil.

Ohh, I see. Alright, I'll look your bio over again and hopefully have the final verdict up shortly.

[Gareth]

Name:Will Norett
Age:22
Gender:Male
Appearance:
Personality:To describe his personality by his actions/how others seem him, would be to say that he is: chatty, friendly, curious, strange and sometimes confusing. I suppose he can also be annoying if he wants something done-he lets others know about it.

The other thing is that he has a tremendous loyalty to others, but usually only after they have done something for him. Others might think this loyalty is great and all, but he doesn't look at it the same way and frankly will pretend he isn't loyal.

Brief Backstory:He was born in one of the bigger cities of Ahlunda. His family were an average family who had average things, like a regular house and a plain horse drawn carriage.

When he was about nine years old, when his father decided to tell him about him being born as a Dragon Slayer and that his fate was to be one of the people who saved the world from the Dragons. He didn't want to believe it and refused to acknowledge himself as one of them. Mostly though he didn't think a Dragon would come his way and so he wouldn't have to worry about his "fate."

This average life around him was his whole world, until he was ten, when his father took him on a trip. To see a few other cities around Ahlunda. That was when he decided to pursue more then what he had. This was spurred on by seeing an advertisement for the Circus in one of the city's squares he went by on his trip. In short order he joined the Circus gathering the little money he had and said goodbye to his parents. After training with them for a little while, he noticed that he could see in the dark-after having to be awake for their night time performances. So for a couple years he had learned a variety of skills and built up a quite athletic build. It helped that he; walked tightropes, juggled for almost an hour non stop at a time, threw knives at targets, ate fire and a whole bunch of cool stuff.

Then...

Something disastrous happened. A large dragon attacked the circus, and many of the performers and innocent bystanders died. Simply because the one body guard who had shown Will how to fight with multiple weapons in practice sessions-died fighting the beast. The leader of the circus took the advantage of the dragon's distraction to gather his team and things, as he moved on to a safer place. Will with him.

So having paid for a better bodyguard, who also decided to teach Will how to fight but at a higher level. The circus began training to perform to crowds even bigger then ever. Because if they could survive a Dragon attack, they could survive anything.

So he stayed with the circus honing his performing tricks and skills until recently where he decided to try and find others who could fight dragons and help make the world a safer place.

Abilities:24/7 vision: He can see in the dark as if it is broad daylight outside.

Deftly Dextrous:He can make his hands a blur by juggling or handling weapons in motion as long as his hands are moving rapidly. This ability also is why he is so proficient in using a variety of weapons.

Endurance: He can perform and do things mentally and or physically for much longer then others could.



Equipment:He has a dozen throwing knives, a good sized sack of money, some dried food in a sack (useful for long journeys), a longsword and a vial of poison that he bought from somewhere.

Name: Hypatia the Hunter
Age: 34
Gender: Female
Appearance: "Move your quarry, do not be moved by it."

Personality: Hypatia comes across as a polite, well-spoken woman with a wealth of life experience under her belt, and an appreciation for the simpler things in life. She's an incredibly relaxed person, choosing to let the likes of slights and insults slide with very little issue; it'd be petty of her to dwell on such things. Although she seems to take pleasure in telling particularity unfunny anti-jokes, she's good company for a Dragonslayer. This, however, is the lesser known side to Hypatia.

What she is known for being is a sharp and level-headed tactical leader in battle. Hypatia plans steps ahead when facing the likes of a dragon, be it in the short or long term, preferring to win a battle before it actually starts. When in the thick of it, Hypatia keeps a cool head, often barking orders at others while swinging her spear at a dragon. He clarity, intellect and taciturn personality have made Hypatia an invaluable tool against the Dragon threat.

Hypatia has a strong sense of duty towards humanity, a sort of noblesse oblige which she abides to. She does not hunt for money or fame, but merely for the sake of protecting.

Brief Backstory: The early origins of Hypatia the Hunter are well concealed from the curios sort, the result of an active effort on Hypatia's part. Her parents, her home, her childhood; none of that matters, she'd tell them. The earliest records of Hypatia come from a band of Dragonslayers called Lancea, a group she joined in her early teens. Over the next decade, Hypatia slew her fair share of dragons with Lancea, and even quite a few on an individual basis. She was never one to brute-force an encounter, always taking steps towards taking down a dragon before hand. This style of hers earned her the title of 'Hunter' from her fellow Dragonslayers in Lancea, eventually catching on with others through out Ahlunda. By the time she was twenty-one, Hypatia the Hunter was considered a prodigy Dragonslayer - not in body, but mind.

At the same time, Lancea encountered a particularly odd dragon. The dragon, called Fafnir by the locals, harassed the locals of the region with odd demands at the threat of destruction. An entire towns supply of salt, locks of hair from old wives, the mandatory gold. Of course the locals complied, keeping the dragon content to merely reside in its hoard-cave. Lancea moved against Fafnir, intent on removing this dragon from the lands.

This series of events ended poorly for Lancea, resulting in the death of every member other than Hypatia. She emerged from Fafnir's lair, battered and bloodied, with a newly acquired spear in hand.

After the encounter with Fafnir, Hypatia went on to become more of a 'consultant' to local towns and cities in dealing with a dragon threat, as she is of the full belief that Dragonslayers alone will not be enough to put an end to the draconic menace. Although she has taken more of a backline role in the past decade, Hypatia's skills in battle have not dulled - she is still the Hunter, and it would be wise to remember such.

Now, she brings her tactical expertise against the Great Iron Mountain, aiming to remove the draconic threat before it boils over into the surrounding lands.

Abilities: Hypatia's physical capabilities are somewhat lacking in Dragonslayer terms. She's not as fast or power as many of her cousins, but she more than makes for that with her ability to plan. Where most Dragonslayers would rush in and simply try to slay a dragon, Hypatia chooses to be patient with her quarry to learn habits and routines, possible weaknesses and quirks. Only then will she move in for the kill, springing any number of traps and striking hard and fast. She arguably makes the process of dragon slaying more complicated than it has to be at times, but her way undoubtedly produces results.

When Hypatia is in combat, her martial form revolves around exploiting weaknesses and openings and awaiting for them to arise. Her movements with her spear are anything but wasteful, only moving to strike when she feels she can get something out of it, never attacking simply for the sake of doing so. Otherwise, she's a highly agile and defence based fighter.

Equipment: The only time Hypatia wears combat armour is when it's part of some mandatory uniform, otherwise she simply sees no need for it against the likes of a dragon. Unless it's magical, scraps of metal will do little other than help to cook you against dragon fire - or anything else they can throw at you. She chooses to wear a black suit instead.

Hypatia's spear is Volsung, the magical weapon she retrieved from Fafnir's hoard which she uses to bring herself up to par with other Dragonslayers on the field. In combat, electricity courses over the blade, making each blow with it all the more painful. Volsung has the quality of being recallable and dismissable.

@Art of Fun: Accepted. Also to add more to your earlier question, some dragons are considerably weirder then others. Basically not all of them are reptile-like.

@Gareth: Accepted.

@Luminance: They only thing I'm seeing as kind of weird is putting liquid metal in your face. ^^;

@Zombehs: I think he's okay now, accepted.

[Ghirardelli]

How about a few players as Dragons?

[VitaVitaAR]

Well, the thing with the Dragons is that even the intelligent ones can still be summed up as "evil for no reason".

[Ghirardelli]

Sorry Luv, not sure if that's a Yes or No, Might I ask you to be more specific?.

[VitaVitaAR]

Um, it's a no, um... all their players would have to do is "be evil" or "plan to be evil".

[Ghirardelli]

Very well then, best of luck on your RP.

[TachyonBlade]

Assuming this is still open, I'll get down to an app right now

[VitaVitaAR]

It's open.

Um.. Does that mean I am not accepted then? Lol I can change it if it is really bothering you, I just thought it would look cool XP

[VitaVitaAR]

It's not a really big thing, it's just kind of weird, um, I know it's nitpicky but I just can't get my mind around liquid metal put inside someone's face. ^^;

I'm sorry, could you change it?
