Right now for that sheet for that fantasy character that I'm still piecing together.

@Damiann47

Depending on how things pan out with the rest of the squad, I was considering having good ol' Private Denski carry both of our bunker buddies back to the medbay, if you'd be alright with that.

@Dead Cruiser

Also, after going back into the IC, I do believe there is enough stuff for at least one fantasy post, even if it is just fluff.

@Gin has managed to do it.

[Keyguyperson]

Okay, I'm still alive. Lost my post with my laptop which I killed, but still alive. And I finally have time!

@RainI can see something like that work out. How would he be a good diplomat though? Would he be able to understand the language quickly or the GHU's culture/people/etc? If you're going to say that he's smart and crafty, then you're going to have to be able to prove that IC just as a reminder ^^

@GinFirst off, just call me Clock :p
Once you feel like you're ready for a collab and @Damiann47 also say he's ready, I'll get us a pad and we can work form there :)

@ClocktowerEchos

So don't you dare leave me out of this!

[Evil Snowman]

@ClocktowerEchos Right so I got of my hump and finished an iteration on that undead character I mentioned. I have no idea if it any good or not. As I've done most of it no little sleep and in a billion tiny bits. Dam Easter it keeps trying to eat up all my free time. If you don't like then that's cool, I'll try something else.

Undeadly goodness

Nikolas Maxwell

Nicknames

Maxwell (open to suggestions)

Age

Exact age Unknown but over 350

Male

Formally Human

Kingdom

Unknown

Appearance

Nikolas tends to keep himself covered at all times. Wearing his armour as much a possible when around others. If he has to take it off he will wear whatever will cover his flesh and eyes. In the terms of headgear he wears hoods and anything that covers his face with whatever he can get his hands on. When he is around those who don't know what he is. When his around people who know what he is and don't mind. Nikolas doesn't cover up so much and at time can be seen shirtless.

Reference

Equipment

• Sword of Light

  
  An ancient blade that Nikolas as carried with him for so long he wouldn't know what to do if he lost it. A blade forged with long for gotten methods and enchanted with magic allowing it to remain as strong and sharp as the day it was made. While no sharper then a normal sword this blade doesn't lose it edge as it is used and is more effect against the undead.
  If unsheathed in a dark area the blade glows a sickly green colour when in Nikolas's hands. When in the hands of the living the sword glows bright white.
• Phylactery

  The item the houses Nikolas soul. Unlike a normal phylactery this one can only be destroyed with high level magic form the book of blessing. It can be broken which for a time will render Nikolas decayed body mindless for a time. But unless destroyed by high level magic form the book of blessing it will reform after an hour or two.
  
  Like this but glows a light blue.
• Steel Armour

  Your basic run of the mill steel armour with no form of magic. Crafted for Nikolas by a master blacksmith at great cost who is aware of his condition. The armour is very well made and fairly durable. The armour is quite heavy and slows Nikolas's movements a little but provides good protection against blades and arrows. The armour was custom made for Nikolas so is fitted for him and made in the style of his armour while he was alive making it unique.
  

Magic

None

Personality

Nikolas is an understanding individual and tries not to judge people by there looks and hates when people they do. Being undead he is a little wary of the living and tries to stay out of the middle of large crowds unless necessary. Also because of his undead nature he dislikes talking about himself and when he dose tend to outright lie or tell tails back form when he was alive. Although he lies about himself Nikolas is not a very good liar, but it never stops him form trying as it better then telling someone the truth.

For those who become aware of his true nature and don't try to destroy him Nikolas often make the effort to become friends with. If he manages that he become very open about some of his life and will help out those he calls friend. He is also willing to give advice to those he calls a friends, although it may not always be the best advice.

Over all Nikolas is a very clam person rarely letting his emotions get the better of him, well aware what might happen if he dose. He is the type who doesn't back down form a challenge when one is presented to him normally trying the direct approach when trying solve a problem. If that fails Nikolas will simply keep trying until he come up with another solution or until it direct approach works.

At time Nikolas feels the urge to consume the flesh of the living, although he is unsure why this urge is very powerful and difficult to control. When dealing with this he drives everyone around him away and tries to be alone or spend time with his own kind. On rare occasions he can become a mindless almost like his soul is trying to leave the realm of the living but can't. During these times Nikolas's body can and often dose become aggressive attacking any living thing near him. Turning on friend and foe alike. While aware of the issue Nikolas can't do anything to stop it, but is aware when the everything starts to fell distance he need to get away form everyone and lock himself away.

History

A great hero in life Nikolas was once a soldier for hire famed for being one of the best able to best any beast in the land. This however is in an Era all but forgotten Nikolas exploits no longer remembered by the living.
But in life he was a man to behold and man who was willing to fight for anyone who could afford his price. Gold and glory where what this man lived for and both he had. It wasn't until he was sent to kill a necromancer that had taken up residence near a small village and the locals where scared of what the magic user might do to them.

The villagers some how managed to pay his price. So Nikolas set of on a hunt to slay the necromancer. What little did he know, the job would be one he would never complete until much later. Over the course of many months on his hunt of this necromancer and several encounters with his pray he eventually fell for for his target. Over another several months the two somehow got close and fell in love. Nikolas kept "hunting" the Necromancer only to keep spending time with her. But despite there feelings they still fought trying to kill each other. Nikolas cutting down many of her undead to reach her only to...*cough*

This lasted for several years until Nikolas fell extremely ill and died before anything could be done to help him. But despite that he died a happy man. Leaving everything to his love.
Upset over the lose of her lover and refusing to let him go. The necromancer who Nikolas had called Nena out of affection stole his body form his family crypt and burnt it to the ground roughly a month his death.

Form there Nena used her magic to preserve his body as she began to work on ways to bring her lover back. Knowing she could easily bring him back as a mindless zombie under her control. But that wasn't what she wanted. Nena wanted to bring Nikolas back with his mind intact with a physical body completely free form control. But such power was beyond her and so she began to research and experiment taking many lives and souls caring little for who they belonged to.

Sadly for Nena not matter how hard she tried she could never develop a spell to bring her lover back, each failure pushing Nena into madness and after several months Nena had all but lost her mind. Driven solely by her original goal
Her actions though didn't go unnoticed and the god of death began to grow annoyed with the necromancer who constantly was perverting the rules of life and death. For a time the god had let her actions slide knowing one day she would die, but her research and experimentation bore some fruit as she made herself a lich and in unlife continued her never ending research. Having become madly obsessed with her goal.
Now furious with the necromancer and wanting to stop Nena the god of death sent their incarnate to deal with situation. The incarnate deciding to bring Nena long dead love back to life this his mind completely intact hoping that would quell the necromancer. However what happened next the incarnate never could have predicted. Not long after being brought back Nikolas had saw what Nena become. Sad to see his love fall so low he stuck her down by smashing her phylactery. An act the ended his loves unlife. But as her soul started to slip into the after life. The god of deaths incarnate appeared, quite surprised by the situation.

The god of death wanted Nena soul to punish her for perverting the rules of life and death. Not wanting his love to punished Nikolas begged the god of death to let Nena pass into the after life. In exchange he would walk the in the world of the living helping those in need it until he had paided the price for the lives and souls Nena had taken and whatever else the god thought was necessary.
For whatever reason the god of death accepted the deal and to insure Nikolas would fulfil his end of the deal the gods incarnate preserve his body with powerful magic so it would not further decay but could not be reintegrated. The incarnate placed then Nioklas's soul inside a phylactery. A phylactery that was nearly indestructible, so only those gifted in the book of blessing stood a chance at destroying it.

So Nikolas began his quest to help living, but trying to help the living is hard when your a corpse. Despite Nikolas best efforts anyone alive that meet him and became aware of his nature became afraid of him. Although Nikolas dose his best to be understanding about it. At times he finds at time all he wants to do is consume their tasty flesh. But even so he will not rest until he has paid of he loves debt and is allowed to join her in the afterlife. So in unlife he works as a soldier for hire once again using the money he makes to maintain a carefully crafted persona and help those in need. Hoping that one day the god of death will allow him to die and rejoin his love in the afterlife.

NOTE: Nena is somehow the god of death. DO NOT FORGET THIS.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Evil SnowmanLooks good although the part about the Incarnate, what exactly happened? Did the Incarnate's soul go into the lantern or did the Incarnate put Nikolas's soul into the lantern?

[Evil Snowman]

@ClocktowerEchos huh? I didn't write what happened. Agh bad sleepy brain. Nikolas soul is the lantern. I'll have to read what I've made and clean it up. But I'm happy you Like it thus far.

Edit have read what I wrote with partly rested eyes. I'm ashamed I posted such a mess. So sorry to anyone that has read it so far. I'll will be at the very least be making some basic effort to make it the chara sheet less like eye sandpaper.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Evil SnowmanLooks better.

Paging @Nevix for an update.

[Nevix]

@ClocktowerEchos
Oh, shit. I completely forgot about this. I'll endeavour to get a post up ASAP, though I fear I may be too far behind to fully recover.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@NevixYou really aren't, the only major thing that's happened for the scifi is that one of the bunkers got rekt and Saiyako calling for help with old Grampys saving the day with the battle wrapping up.

[Evil Snowman]

@ClocktowerEchos Really? So far I've only post a one word edit. But thanks. I'm in the middle of giving it a nice going over. But my eye balls keep bleeding so ya know its hard. Plus to much chocolate floating around so stuffing on face is distracting.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Evil SnowmanI think my own brain is beginning its process of repeatedly shooting its head with a 9-iron until I fall asleep so that might be a reason why ^^;

I never really had a problem with it, just that one confusing bit.
If anyone else wants to bring something please do.
