I figured I might as well put up a list of character sheets I've created on this site. Due to them being for this site, you should assume that I won't be putting up the characters from my own story project ('Guardian Ascension'), into this thread -- this is exclusively for characters I decide to introduce into one of the role-plays on RPGuild, whether I ever actually took part in the IC or not. The noteworthy exception are the characters from 'Grim Reaper's Gambit'.

Unless specified otherwise the character sheets are using the format and templates they were accepted with in their respective role-plays, but eventually I might upgrade them and add more of my own details since I could easily see myself migrating characters from one role-play to another. I'll probably also alter them eventually to be more appropriate to whatever setting I'd imagine them being native to, rather than basing the sheets and information off of the setting of whatever role-play they were accepted into.

Some of the characters will likely also be connected, since I suspect I'll add sheets for related characters; whether these related characters were ever accepted into a role-play (or even revealed, for that matter) or not. This is mostly due to my penchant for extensive detail and complexity, meaning I seldom make a character sheet without building an entire world around them. Subsequently, I could easily imagine myself running a role-play centred around each of these characters and their concepts.

    Name: Emmanuel Lovecraft
    Title/Nickname: Ernst Leblanc (alias), Traitor of the Arcane Tower (title)
    Age: 29
    Gender: Male
    Race: Human
    Profession: Scholar
    Trope/Archetype: Wizard Classic

    Appearance:
    171cm / 5'7"

    Equipment:
    • The Apocrypha Grimoire - A tome from the Arcane Tower rumoured to hold the secrets of the gods. Before he was banished from the tower, he stole it and used its powers to survive execution. The elders of the Arcane Tower want to get it back, and have agents pursuing him for it. While he has used part of its content to increase his own magical abilities and survive a curse that should have destroyed his soul, a portion of its content still remains a mystery to him.
    • Standard Staff - Due to being an outcast of the Arcane Tower, he was never given a proper magic staff since he never graduated. As a result of this, he had to use his innate wisdom and resolve to compensate and be able to rival other mages in a casting duel.
    • Wizard Attire - Conventional robe and pointed hat garments commonly associated with users of the magic arts. Note that despite the above picture having the hat worn over his back, he often wears it on his head like a conventional wizard.

    Background: Adopted into the Arcane Tower, the place where many of the world's greatest court wizards hail from and considered a bastion of wisdom and sacred ground where only the chosen may tread, he possessed a prodigy-like understanding of the magical arts ever since he was a youth, and under the tutelage of his mentor developed these talents until his teacher was killed during a mysterious conspiracy within the Arcane Tower related to an ancient tome. Over the following years, he brought unconventional ideas about the magic arts and how one could develop them, but was never taken seriously due to his age and was eventually banished from ever becoming a true wizard. During this time, he stole the ancient tome after he discovered part of the conspiracy within the Arcane Tower, and the elders placed a curse on him that he only survived because of the magical powers within the tome. Escaping from the elders, he has been on the run ever since.

    Pros:
    • Wisdom beyond his years, granting him powers rivalling those of the highest ranked magic wielders. His arcane insight and generally vast intelligence mean that, while physically limited (he is more encumbered as opposed to being weak), he is usually able to outwit and adapt to his opponents and even handle a direct confrontation so long as he avoids taking damage. These mental capabilities also mean he is able to read the people and events around him with piercing accuracy, much of the world being an open book to him. They also mean he possesses highly advanced learning for anything that draws his obsession, and he can understand deeply complex and abstract concepts almost intuitively.
    • Extensive knowledge and proficiency in dealing with magical, undead, demonic, divine, and extra-dimensional entities.
    • Conviction and devotion to his goals and principles, with a will and resolve that are virtually unbending. Easily the type of person whose endurance and fortitude would result in him dying before he willingly stayed down in a fight, and he's generally quite fearless. The opinions of others seldom impact him, and his resilience is matched by very few.

    Cons:
    • The elders of the Arcane Tower placed a curse on him that sealed much of his powers. He is currently unable to use his more powerful incantations, such as summoning magic, without penalties, whereas normally he could use them freely.
    • He suffers from poor health, so without his magic making him superhuman he would not have very long to live. He needs to use some of his magic at all times to remain healthy, otherwise his sickness would become worse.
    • Possesses notoriously bad luck.

    Other:
    • He frequently takes on the appearance of a much older wizard (known as 'Ernst Leblanc') whenever he needs to remain incognito (since he is on the run from a powerful organization) or if he needs to make sure that his opinion is taken seriously (he is incredibly used to establishments not respecting his wisdom merely based on his age and the fact that he never officially graduated as a wizard).
    • The curse placed on him by the elders is something he can resist against with his will, but it still sealed much of his power when it failed to destroy his soul. His ability to resist against it is the only reason he has any magic at all now, but he is currently searching for a way to break the seal completely.

    Note: This character sheet was created for a very simplistic role-play, and in the end I decided to pull out of that role-play - before any IC ever took place - because I came up with a lot of depth that wouldn't have worked out there; however, everything contained in this sheet was accepted by the GM, so I'm mostly referring to developments that came later on. I'll most likely edit this profile eventually to include a lot of the other ideas I had in mind, but for now it remains in the state it was left in at that role-play. A lot of information about the character's history and details were kept unrevealed when the profile was accepted, since we had a lot of freedom with lore.

    Name: Abel Rosicrucian
    Age: 23
    Gender: Male
    Race: Human
    Class: Holy Knight
    Occupation: Undead Hunter, Sword for Hire, Member of the Rosicrucian Priory
    Alignment: Neutral Good (he is more naturally aligned to Chaotic Good, but his dedication to his order balances this)
    Deity/Religion: N/A (the Rosicrucian Priory is a small and independent order not affiliated with any specific religion or deity; they believe in one transcendental 'God' which is intentionally unnamed and only given a few specifications, serving as the embodiment of their ideals and beliefs but otherwise remaining ambiguous to prevent clashes over dogma from getting in the way of their philosophy and righteous mission)

    Appearance:
    Height: 178cm / 5'10"
    Weight: 69kg / 152lbs
    Skin Colour: White
    Eye Colour: Hazel
    Hair Colour: Platinum Blonde

    Equipment:
    • One-handed Sword - Shorter than a conventional two-handed longsword while also being longer than a one-handed shortsword, this trademark cruciform-shaped sword wielded by Abel is a fairly modest yet versatile weapon which has served him well on his travelling.
    • Sheath Shield - A personalized shield that was made on request by Abel during his start as a hunter of the forces of evil; custom designed to have a sheath for his trademark sword connected on the back. Though made with ease of use in mind when considering the weight, the iron exterior of the front is nevertheless quite durable.
    • Light Gear - He wears fairly lightweight gear underneath his garb; never having received conventional knight armour or anything similar, and personally preferring speed and healing/support magic over brute physical defensive force.
    • Evelyn's Pendant - An amulet passed down through generations by the family of Abel's fiancΓ©. It is said to have been blessed and grants its holder a powerful resistance to magical curses. When Abel went off on his pilgrimage with his mentor his fiancΓ© left it in his care as a good luck charm, citing how he could use all the fortune he could get.

    Spells:
    • Fortify Endurance - Abel's primary magic spell, and the one he has spent the most time investing in. Preferring to use lightweight gear in order to allow him swift movement in battle against the dark forces resulted in his physical defence being weaker than a traditional warrior, so he frequently casts this spell in order to even the playing field. He wanted to learn a more elaborate form of magic that would allow him to cast magic barriers, but he has yet to find a tome on the matter or receive proper tutelage on it.
    • Fortify Speed - A spell that Abel uses when facing against inhuman foes in order to keep up with their potentially superhuman speed. He is still learning this spell just like all of his other magic, so he is not able to push it to an extreme.
    • Fortify Fatigue - While his resolve is beyond that of a person of weak personal principles, he is well aware that humans suffer from fatigue and their body can surrender long before their mind will. In order to compensate for this, he has taught himself this spell in order to boost his stamina in times of dire need.
    • Heal Minor Wounds - In order to remove an over reliance on healing potions, during the early part of his tutelage in the basics of magic he chose to teach himself the art of healing magic. Since he was never given a chance to complete his formal study, he is currently limited to healing minor wounds; mostly injuries that would not be absolutely fatal.
    • Turn Undead - Though unlikely to serve any use against a human opponent, Abel has become proficient at the use of basic holy magic due to his work as a hunter of unholy forces. While his potential in the arts was noted to be extraordinary, he has never received sufficient training due to having to leave before his tutelage could really begin. Nevertheless, while he has yet to learn how to banish and destroy evil or unholy enemies through magic he is capable of using this spell to demoralize the will of the undead and negate their bloodlust.

    Items:
    • Holy Water Vials - Since he has yet to learn higher level holy magic, Abel often uses vials of this nature in order to bless his sword; dripping the liquid onto the blade in order to allow it to set the forces of evil ablaze and purge them.
    • Magic Potions - Carried with him at all times when he has the opportunity to afford them; he uses these potions to replenish mana.

    History (Synopsis): Left at a monastery as a child, Abel was adopted into their fold and learned under the wings of the order's grand master. The Rosicrucian Priory specialized in protecting humanity from the forces of evil, an art which he soon became well-versed in. Eventually Abel fell in love with a young woman from a nearby town named Evelyn, who would soon become his fiancΓ©. During his final pilgrimage accompanying his adopted father before the soon coming fulfilment of his promised marriage, his mentor was killed by a tragic incident involving the agents of the darkness, leaving him stranded in a foreign land with no money and no way easy way to get home. His thoughts remain only of returning to his beloved and informing the order of his master's demise. In order to achieve this, he uses his skills to hunt the undead anywhere that their appearance troubles others, effectively becoming something of a mercenary who specializes in facing against evil. He is considered powerful even among the young knights of his order due to his talent for the magical arts derived from his master's tutelage.

    Other: Abel actually has very little experience fighting to the death against his fellow man; his work has primarily revolved around hunting unholy forces, particularly the undead. While he has served as a bodyguard a few times for travelling merchants or the like, he has never actually killed a man before and usually uses his fighting prowess to force a surrender. He is not entirely without knowledge of how to kill nor is he at all inept in combat, but he has never killed a human personally and would rather avoid it. Nevertheless, he is a fearless and adaptive combatant who is capable of an unorthodox and exotic style of fighting, also holding wisdom beyond his years and exceptional resilience.

    Note: This character sheet was created for a role-play duel that prioritizes the idea of characters being at 'Level 1', so the current profile reflects a character that is considerably weaker than he would be if I built a setting or role-play around him. D&D was also emphasized (though I used The Elder Scrolls as the basis for his magic), rather than a setting I'd normally work with or be interested in. With this in mind, you can assume this character will be noticeably more powerful and have a lot of alterations to his template and concepts if I edit this profile to reflect a more natural setting for him, though all of the information about his backstory and order would remain the same -- he would still fight against unholy forces too. Several details about this character's past and nature were also kept ambiguous and unrevealed as they served no purpose to the duel and would only spoil things if I used him elsewhere. I've decided to include some of the NPCs tied to this character in his post for the time being, also avoiding spoilers as much as possible.

    Note: It goes without saying, but I don't own the official copyrights to these characters -- they are Final Fantasy characters and I'm role-playing them as part of a thread based around/inspired by the Dissidia franchise. With that out of the way, there are elements being introduced to these characters that're my own ideas -- I still kept them within context to the characters in order to make them fitting concepts. A lot of the details regarding the characters were kept secret upon registration in order to avoid spoiling too much. Normally, I don't like doing fandom role-plays as a general rule (which was stated in my bio), but this is one of those rare instances of someone proposing one that I thought I'd enjoy working with, especially considering how much creativity liberty I've got with this group. I got my start in play-by-post role-play on a Final Fantasy forum, and I'm generally a fan of the franchise. I've essentially used this opportunity to play with certain ideas that I felt Dissidia should've used.

    Note: 'Grim Reaper's Gambit' is loosely connected to my main 'Guardian Ascension' project, by virtue of being a spin-off and part of its multiverse. The characters listed here aren't actually part of the cast of that main project (unless stated otherwise in their sheets) and are unique to this spin-off. Naturally, only the characters created/owned/played by me are included here, and I've not included the NPCs for the time being.

    Updated Note: 'Grim Reaper's Gambit' is now a part of the main universe and official canon of 'Guardian Ascension', and some of the characters in the - at one time mere spin-off - project have gone through a bit of a revamp due to that.
