Arcaedos the Wanderer

Name: Arcaedos the Wanderer

Race: Majin

Gender: Genderless (more masculine)

Age: Hundreds? Thousands? I clean the rust from myself each year, but it has been long since I thought to count. Do you remember each bath you take?

Place of Origin: Majan originally. Arcaedos has spent his life peppered across the continent and islands. In most recent years he has spent time in and around Din Ghulda.

Personality & Appearance:
Arcaedos can say the most ridiculous of things with a perfectly grave expression and voice, and mean what he says utterly and completely with no embarrassment. This leads Arcaedos into some interesting situations, but he manages to make his way out most of the time with his calm demeanor and dry sense of humor. He has an odd habit of protecting small things, which includes most humanoids as well as furry woodland creatures because this Majin is goliath, even in comparison to most others of his kind. However, poor Arcaedos does more harm than good more often than not, even with the best of intentions.

Arcaedos

He stands at a hulking 9ft tall and weighs an extraordinary amount, so much so that every scale he's tried to weigh himself on has broken beneath his weight. His one eye switches between colors to dictate his mood, violet for amicable or cheerful, yellow for alert or aware, green for relaxed or sleepy, and red for angry or raging. When sad, his eye turns a somber blue or black depending on how deep his sorrow runs.

His way of walking is an odd mix of bipedal or quadrupedal, and he moves quite like a gorilla might while on all fours. Across Arcaedos' back are his shield and mace, both held in place via inbuilt sockets that lock them in securely, which he can unlatch on command. He also carries around a burlap pack containing scraps of metal he has acquired during his time for sustenance.

Class: Guardian
Arcaedos wields himself to protect and guard other beings who cannot fend for themselves. Using a mace and tower shield makes him slower than most other combatants, but he has a staggering amount of strength placed behind each swing of his mace, and can use his shield to bash foes who venture too close. He aims to disable rather than kill, and believes in all receiving a second chance to atone for their crimes. For these purposes, he has tried to perfect the use of his tower shield as a gong to project sonic energy back onto his enemies to disable them rather than harm them physically out of fear he may kill them by accident.

Stats:
STR: 16 STR
END: 14 END
INT: 8 INT
WIS: 13 WIS
CHR: 12 CHR
AGI: 9 AGI
LCK: 8 LCK

Background:
Through out time and history Arcaedos has spent his life wandering and lending a hand to those in need. He has been in skirmishes and battles that he knew little of why or how they were happening, though he knew he must protect those who could not protect themselves. During some points of his life he spent his time tilling the fields of farmers, in other years he has spent his time in the remote places of the world, absorbing lore and knowledge that he would eventually forget in the crevasse of time. He has garnered many nicknames over the hundreds of years from the people he has helped, as well as harmed, some of them being titles such as “Gentle Giant”, or “Metal Devil”, or the “Wanderer”, the last of which has stuck more than the others.

He has sought no glory, though many have tried to persuade him to be in their service, even just as a battering ram or shield for their troops, or by nobles who wanted him to protect them exclusively with his hulking metal body. Arcaedos has always denied these invitations and set himself back into the wilderness with a good-bye and farewell. He seeks the purpose of his being, and continually searches for the answers that relate to the ancient Majan Empire beyond the Mirod mountain range. He knows he must come from there, though he cannot remember how and why he was crafted into this world.

Whispers on the wind of war within Din Ghulda led Arcaedos there to protect the innocent and weak from meaningless violence. It was a bloody and sorrowful mess, and now with a heavy heart Arcaedos has found himself in the town of Nifu on the coast of the island of Naran...

House Arrest: A Witch and Genie's Story

Thank you :D It's more natural this way to interact and further rp between our characters. I had just assumed this part of your post referred to Emily and went off of my assumption:

....She scanned the room and made note of all of the possible witches in the classroom. Witches nowadays are usually good at concealing themselves.

Except for one of them in the back, using a magic fountain pen to take notes for him while he was doing something else. "Well, that was easier than the last one," she thought....

@karamonnom

The Echo Game! Something Different! Always Recruiting! Exclamation Marks!

@Willow Breeze You should throw a mention up for SpookySquid in your character's CS so they can see it and approve it. :]

Aelwyn (5E DnD)

Maybe we could expand on the Black Heart Gypsies in Esmeralda's background more? They sound like they could be involved in some cool/shady stuff.

The Echo Game! Something Different! Always Recruiting! Exclamation Marks!

Hey, they're all quiet differently though!

Hahaha, I think it's funny that each of them is on the shy, quiet side, it seems like a popular characteristic in this RP. I'm gonna buff Nana up into somebody who is more vocal for sure, to allow other people to explore their quiet characters. I have so many plans for Nana. *ensue evil laughter and thumb twiddling*

Spells and Cantrips

Spells

• First Level Druid Spells

Goodberry
1st-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a sprig of mistletoe)
Duration: Instantaneous
Up to ten berries appear in your hand and are infused with magic for the duration. A creature can use its action to eat one berry. Eating a berry restores 1 hit point, and the berry provides enough nourishment to sustain a creature for one day. The berries lose their potency if they have not been consumed within 24 hours of the casting of this spell.

Cure Wounds
1st-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
A creature you touch regains a number of hit points equal to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the healing increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.

Cantrips

Druidcraft
Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Whispering to the spirits of nature, you create one of the following effects within range:

• You create a tiny, harm less sensory effect that predicts what the weather will be at your location for the next 24 hours. The effect might manifest as a golden orb for clear skies, a cloud for rain, falling snowflakes for snow, and so on. This effect persists for 1 round.
• You instantly make a flower blossom, a seed pod open, or a leaf bud bloom.
• You create an instantaneous, harm less sensory effect, such as falling leaves, a puff of wind, the sound of a small animal, or the faint odor of skunk. The effect must fit in a 5-foot cube.
• You instantly light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.

Shillelagh
Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (mistletoe, a sham rock leaf, and a club or quarterstaff)
Duration: 1 minute
The wood of a club or quarterstaff you are holding is imbued with nature’s power. For the duration, you can use your spellcasting ability instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of melee attacks using that weapon, and the weapon's damage die becomes a d8. The weapon also becomes magical, if it isn’t already. The spell ends if you cast it again or if you let go of the weapon.

Racial Cantrip:

Minor Illusion
Illusion cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration: 1 minute
You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again. If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream . It can be your voice, someone else’s voice, a lion’s roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can’t create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.

Hermit Background

Hermit
Skill Proficiencies: Medicine, Religion
Tool Proficiencies: Herbalism kit
Languages: One of your choice (Elvish)
Equipment: A scroll case stuffed full of notes from your studies or prayers, a winter blanket, a set of common clothes, an herbalism kit

Feature: Discovery
The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society. Work with your DM to determine the details of your discovery and its impact on the campaign.

My Life of Seclusion roll

• 7 I was the caretaker of an ancient ruin or relic.

I went to live in an old place of my Goddie, so I could get the moss and slimy gunk off the place for a couple of years. Why? I'unno, my Goddie told me to in a vision.

My Personality Trait roll

• 5 I am oblivious to etiquette and social expectations.

I don't understand why people think it's weird to trim my toe nails at the dinner table, or why they give me funny looks when I don't give the people in the fancy looking clothing a bow or curtsy. They're just people too, like Yuuka!

My Ideal roll

• 6 Self-Knowledge. If you know yourself, there’s nothing left to know. (Alignment: Any)

Yuuka thinks if you truly know yourself, you'll be able to live the rest of your days out hunkydoory! But I think my Goddie tells me that I have a long way to go.

My Bond roll

• 3 I’m still seeking the enlightenment I pursued in my seclusion, and it still eludes me.

When I had the vision from my Goddie, I think there was more to do, but Yuuka did everything she could! I will figure out what my Goddie wants one day.

My Flaw roll

• 5 I’d risk too much to uncover a lost bit of knowledge.

Fine, sometimes Yuuka gets alittle carried away, but there's so much to know and see! I don't think it's a bad thing, no matter what the others tell me.

Additional Information:

Yuuka's Pet: Because of her racial Speak with Small Beasts, Yuuka has long since befriended a tiny bat that she has named Laylee. Laylee typically clings to Yuuka's shoulder and eats berries and other food that Yuuka provides.

Yuuka's Religion: Yuuka calls her Goddess, Eldath, her "Goddie". She is devote to Eldath in her own weird way, and is of no proper church or sect for Eldath. Eldath sent Yuuka a vision of one of her ancient ruins, located is in a remote and secluded part of the Silent Forest, and told Yuuka to go there, and off Yuuka went to live until only recently leaving it. Eldath is a minor Goddess under the God of Nature, Silvanus.

By the way I just realized the fact we have a songstress and a dancer lol. Some hell of a parties we could throw!

@rivaan

Hahaha yeah. Lumenaria is more of a tribal sort of dancer/songstress, and your's seems more refined and eloquent in comparison to her. Lumenaria's dancing and songs coincide with the elements of nature, taking the properties of such things.
