[OOC] Age of Immortals

[Nevix]

@The Fox WithoutI suppose it's possible that your character might've found some of the rare natural Vestis. Why the hell not?

[The Fox Without]

@Nevix

Coolio, I was willing to go either way, with him getting it fitted later on, but I like the way this one meshes with the legends. Anyways, should have him up later tonight.

[The Fox Without]

Sorry for the double post, but here he is.

Name: Arthur Avalon

Age: 25-30

Appearance:

Hider

Tends to look a bit boyish with out the beard, so he rarely shaved it off

Hieght: 6'2"

Weight: 210lbs

Bio: Arthur's first memory was laughing in a mead hall, sitting at the head of the table with what he could only imagine was his wife. He found early on that he quite like the feeling of leading, and found it quite easy to inspire the image of a godling as he rose time and again from wounds that should have called any mortal man, a master of the theatrics needed to make it seem divine right rather than dark magics, as well as the tactics needed to ensure victory often. This was a tale that would follow the ageless figure throughout history, wether as the hero who comes in and releases the folk from oppression, such as Beowulf's defeat of Grendel and his ilk.

Though probably his best known tale is that of his time as Arthur, beating back the Saxons and uniting Britain under a common banner. There the Immortal King finally found a symbol surely worthy of himself, finding a strange substance that glowed with power. While it took much trial and error to find how to work the material, Arthur had made a blade that could serve as a symbol that his "fellow" man could gather around, and where else should they gather but around him.

As the years have gone by, Arthur had found it is sadly become more bothersome to be at the forefront of times, with a few close calls having forced him to cede the point that it is to be in his best interest to take a step back, though he is often behind the forces that do take center stage, serving as advisor or sponsor to many.

Most recently he has risen to a station that allows him to live his rather oppulent lifestyle in relative ease, having focused his ages of conquest and tactics into a slightly smaller setting. These days he makes his wages as the de facto owner of Caliburn Defenses, a company that focuses on everything from weapon development to providing security teams to the elite that can afford their prices. There are rumors that many of their exmilitary teams act as mercenaries for various agencies, though no such allegations have been confirmed.

Personality: Arthur is certainly filled with confidence, rarely second guessing himself and always ready to go forward. He has been described to have an almost hypnotizing charm, easily leading starving, broken men into a hopeless battle with full confidence they shall return heroes. He is always happy to take charge of a situation. While but vain, he has learned that it is always best to hear the words of those that have proven themselves. Any who gain his respect will always been seen as an equal, be they a fellow immortal or the common man.

Possessions:

-Excalibur, legendary sword imbued with raw light vesitis.

- Honda RC213V-S Racing bike

- Shoulder holster holding a Glock, with variable magazines of various vesitis bullets.

-30 year old bottle of tennese whiskey.

-Crown of King Arthur, though that is back in a safe within his company.

-A few fitted suits for more formal occasions, while perfering Plain t shirts, jeans, and riding jackets for casual wear.

Skills: Arthur is an expert at all aspects that comes with leading armies or countries, weilding swords and words with equal power and finesse. Was taught to be a blacksmith, having apprenticed before he attempted forging Excalibur. A decent motorcyclist as well, possibly professional level, though certianly not the best. Counts his stamina when it comes to drinking as a talent.

Fast facts: Spent sometime as an actor for Shakespeare himself, though he had been a vocal critic of Romeo and Juliet, refusing to play in it. Enjoys good mead when he can get it, but believes few can make a decent brew in this day and age, and often sticks to whiskey. More than likely, Arthur is to be on many lists of suspicious characters like those of the IBI, seeing as he's never been the most subtle of the immortals, but his propensity to place himself in places of power, and a lack of any hard evidence, makes tangling with him difficult.

Realize he's kinda like Oskar a bit, but I kinda see him as the other side of the Coin.

@The Fox WithoutTop Sheet, M'boy. Accepted!

[The Fox Without]

Coolio, looking forward to the rp. Arthurs first order of business is a drinking contest, where the goal is to be the last to die of alcohol poisoning :D.

[Arcalept]

Hey, still here! I'm so excited for this! Do we post the character here, or in the character section?

[Carlsberg]

@Arcalept

You post it in here first so Nevix can approve it. If they do, then put it in the character section.

[Severe Triage]

Still open?

[Carlsberg]

@Severe Triage

Yes, I'd assume so

[Nevix]

@Severe TriageOf course!

@ArcaleptPlease do throw it into the OOC first.

[The Fox Without]

Hey if an immortal loses a limb do they grow back immediately or do they have to wait to die for it to come back.

[Nevix]

@The Fox Without It begins to grow back slowly, probably taking at least a few days. They'd probably die from blood for the Blood God loss before then, but if they got it all bandaged up and stuff...

Of course, if they were to die, they'd only be out a few hours and wake back up fully healed. Yes, for the immortals, suicide is a valid treatment for many ailments.

[The Fox Without]

Heh the psychological effect of such lack of limits seems to make it likely that, at least between two immortals, arguments and such would probably progress further and faster in the physical aspect of it. Should be interesting to see once a true argument starts.@Nevix

[Nevix]

@The Fox Without Oh, arguments may start. I don't want to spoil too much, but suffice it to say that Otto and Oskar have a history.

[Nevix]

MASSIVE SUPER IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

I MADE AN ETHERPAD :D

For those of you who don't know, Etherpad is a synchronized notepad with a chat function and is the lifeblood of all successful RP's, as my dear friend @HylianRose knows. I made it, now it's up to you lot to use it, which I recommend. It's easier than waiting for a reply in the OOC.

EDIT: I forgot to include the link...
Here's the Pad

[Arcalept]

Name: Lena "Wanderer"

Age: 21

Appearance:

Hider

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 160 lbs (a lot of muscle)

Bio:
The first thing Lena remembers was wandering around southern Europe. She later found out that her "birth" was around the year 1500 B.C.E. For years she wandered Europe, encountering a variety of people and learning many things she later considered necessary knowledge. Her first and longest stay was at a town near what is now Antalya, Turkey, where she met her first love. There, she was considered so beautiful that it was said a thousand ships would launch in her honor. The town was ravaged and destroyed, leaving Lena on her own again.

Years and year went by. Wars were fought, many she participated in, and lands are won and lost. Lena made her way from Europe to Asia, followed by South America, North America, Africa, and Europe again. As time passed, her stays were less lengthy and more spontaneous. One day, she would be in Japan learning the ways of the Samurais. The next week, she would be learning how to paint from wise China men. This earned her the name "Wanderer" in the eyes of immortals or those who knew of her.

Many famous women in myths and history were either Lena herself, or based off of her feats. However, as she "grew older", she found herself frequenting battlefields and famous events less often. Staying behind the scenes or in the shadows became the norm. The few people who saw her payed her no mind, especially during the times she wanted no trouble. If she didn't want to be seen, Lena would NEVER be seen by anyone. It was a gift.

Personality:
Lena has a cold air about her, most likely a side-effect from watching the world mature over thousands of years. Though she's met many, she prefers to be left to her own devices. This has resulted in a lack of long relationships throughout her time on earth, though there has been some. Many of her previous relationships were broken off before Lena could watch them die, and most never lasted more than a few years. The lack of solid human contact has, of course, taken its toll on her mental stability. However, for the most part, her mental health is on the good side, though there will be occasions in which she seems to be on the brink of insanity.

Lena's humor is dark and dry, but she does love a good pun. Her spare time is spent practicing her skills, though she does not need to, and learning new things. She loves to travel and is rarely in the same spot for more than a couple years, probably because she dislikes being tied to a single spot when she could be visiting other places. Also, Lena can be quite good at getting people under her feet. In other words, a LOT of people owe her.

Possessions:
-Lena is typically seen in dark, more conspicuous clothing, such as dark skinny jeans, hoodies, t-shirts, sweaters, boots, and coats. Currently, her favorite thing to wear is a pair of dark blue jeans, black combat boots, a gray shirt, and a black hoodie.
-She is in the possession of two fire vesitis crystals.
-A fancy mace to use in close combat
-A black M4A1
-Knife in her boot
-A black Heckler & Koch USP
-A sizable bank account (she's developed connections through favors)

Skills:
Despite being female, Lena has honed battle skills throughout the ages, from all over the world. She prefers not to participate in hand-to-hand combat, but if she had to choose, her favorite fighting style would be Krav Maga, mostly because it is so savage. She is skilled in many weapon types, both melee and ranged. Most of her skill lies in heavy weapons, such as her mace, or firearms. Her skills in using vesitis have developed far, and she can use the fire power of her two crystals very well.

Fast facts: (Interesting facts and such about your character. Fears, hobbies, favorite foods, mannerisms, and habits all belong here)
-One of her greatest fears is living until the end of the earth
-Lena has learned to play some instruments, her favorites being the gayageum and the guitar
-Her favorite food is just any kind of meat
-Her looks say different, but she can drink
-One habit she has is reaching for the closest weapon when surprised even a little
