Another passenger upon the Prima Vista was rather taking some time off to relax on board the ship. A rather large Hyena Demihuman was trying to seek rest. His head was rather filled with excitement for a trip that was soon to be embarked upon. There was a minor sense of guilt for having to rather take off from his hometown and family but seeing as it was supported the sense was very miniscule but still present. He had forgotten to purchase something for entertainment during the trip but that was not going to be much of an issue since the people around would likely be fun to converse with.
Perrin was decently sure that payment for the ride had already been fulfilled after paying through some connections. He had yet to encounter any trouble while on board and he was not particularly the best hider or trained in stowing away. Seeing as the linen was spread about the rooms it gave a rather ‘fancy’ aesthetic to the place. He bet that the cabins would be similar to match this very neat appearance and perhaps with very soft blankets as well! Seeing as there were notes already upon the doors he immediately tried going into a cabin room. Making sure to size up the bed before even trying to climb onto it, which was learned from dozens of past experiences.
If the bed seemed fair enough to handle him, he would immediately try and climb in. If not napping on the floor or in the corner would do, either way would not necessarily be a bad turn out.
Perrin’s build and looks likely seem quite odd to most. He is quite large and has a mixture between both seeming muscular and quite fat. His muscularity is mostly only seen in his large and strong arms and legs while the rest of his girth seems to be accounted for in fat. Mostly on his stomach and backside and it is claimed that both are large enough to possibly be a bed. Beyond that his main fur color is a caramel shade, his underbelly fur being more a light tan and the spots being a dark brown. Their eyes are a light shade of purple and they have long black hair that goes behind their shoulders. Their hair often seems quite well groomed and a tad shiny.

Personality:- Perrin as they more often preferred to be called is often and optimistic fellow. He often assumes the best in things and enjoys such thoughts. While taking an enjoyment and the constant assumption that things are going this often leads to generally doing and trying what they think is best or good. Constantly trying to help those out who are in need and especially those who are close to him aiming to be supportive and highly reliable when a shoulder is needed. Charitable at times and trying to remain a shoulders for others is often a difficult balance between a sense of freedom. A drive or feeling that freedom is something that both he, and others should obtain through positive means whether it be constantly trying out new things or traveling. Perrin often trying to believe in the best and sometimes idolizing people is often quick to have the sense of closeness with someone and a sense of trust. Simply abandoning someone is difficult for him on some level and it is especially difficult if they are in need which may drive Perrin to assist or return to them even in dire situations. On occasion he may try to be a bit of a charmer and may likely be easily charmed by a certain degree of boldness.
Job: Perrin is currently unemployed. If asked however a number of answers may come up such as claiming to be a cook, a guard or a packman. He is thought to be heading toward a traveling ‘guard’ job.
Fighting Style: Perrin mostly subscribes to the fighting style of Baritsu and may also claim to have skill in wrestling as well.
Weapons from strongest to weakest: – Hand-Axe (x2), Iron shield Armors/Outfits Perrin may more often be found adorning purple shorts as his main outfit in the sense of comfortability. See below.
Light Clothing- There is some light clothing worn made of a rather thin and soft fabric. First is the white shirt (which Perrin has long since outgrown and stretched), it is a rather basic short sleeve shirt that now goes down just a bit past the chest and barely over the abdomen it oddly still has a ‘baggy’ appearance to it. There is also the purple vest that is placed over top of that, it is a button up (the buttons long popped off)and has a tail that runs down to a bit past the posterior and ends in a ‘U’ shape. The vest is the remains of a cut coat. There is also a pair of purple shorts, these were originally full pants but had the legs rolled up and sewn into position to make into shorts. He still has the black wool newsboy cap that came with it (with ear holes) but rarely adorns it.
Hide Armor- Leather armor of sorts is adorned in more adventurous or dangerous situations, such as sneaking around at night or adventuring into the woods for game. It is a little worn with age but still fits, if snugly. It covers most of the body including coming with a pair of leather boots. The Armor has a largely padded torso coverage covering the chest, abdomen, back and backside to a degree. The armor has a single shoulder pad on each shoulder, the sleeves which run down the arms and legs are less padded but are still protective leather and it also has a more padded leather skirt ending just above the knees.
A large backpack is a more recent and more often adorned piece added to Perrin’s outfit. It has multiple pockets all over and large amounts of storage room inside. It has contained various items such as food, a large waterskin bedrolls, blankets, soap, a tent, even flint & steel and whetstone are carried around for trips. Weight Class: Heavy.
- Determines the speed you move during your actions, reaction speed and how likely you are to be staggered, hit and so on. Very basic.
A Light character is more than likely going to be knocked down despite having the most actions, but when clashing with a heavier character, they are likely to be over powered on. Fastest of magic casters, yet not really excelling at it past speed. When attacking, usually has an easy time chaining their actions together to make up for lack of strength.
A Medium weight character is more than likely able to outlast a light character in terms of assault, but less action can be taken. Your attacks are stronger and probably more proficient. And probably the most patient of the weight classes. You are more likely to not be over powered by a foe, but you are just a middle ground. Higher proficiency of casting. Usually high precision with attacks and actions.
Finally, the Heavy Weight Class not only has the lowest amount of actions. But, the most wind up for most attacks. Though you're less likely to get staggered when doing anything, but easiest to hit with magic, the slowest of casters. Easily capable of knocking down many foes and hauling the most. Can use the heaviest of weapons with ease. Precision can be off the wall, but when it hits it hurts. (Probably can cause mass bleeding.)
Familiar: Beckoning Cat (Appears similar to a Persian Cat)
Familiar Abilities: The familiar gives the ability for positive buff status magic (such as: protect, shell and haste) and Higher luck. Absorb darkness and resist mind. Weak to water.
Movement Type: It walks and runs about like a normal cat.
Familiar Size: Very Small (Cat size)
Relic Weapons: Folding Chair (oddly big enough for him)
Relic Armors: Bright Attractive scale mail that appears like gold and covers the lower abdomen and a little beyond the waist. It is somewhat similar in appearance to a large (modern day) wrestling belt in form.
Note, these do effect the trances as well to some degree. - That degree being that these items will get buffed up to some degree. - These however do not disrupt your default trance.
Flat State. (Your standard CS reflects this already.) - This basically means when your familiar is inactive. Relic gear disappears until that familiar is active. - It also means your attributes return to base value. Meaning no buffs or debuffs to compensate.
Relic Items. - These are unbreakable, but because of that they at times will not be as strong as the items you craft. - These however are items that do get stronger as your familiar bonds with you in battle.
- In short, good alternatives to not destroying your gear. These are not required to be used when the familiar is summoned, but if you do not wish to use them, you can have the familiar handle it.
- These don't override your gear. Though Relic armors or robes will either go over your current attire, or under based on if you are wearing Knight like armor or not.
- However, if you wish for your clothing to shift to reflect your style, that is fine. But you should state what is overrides if you wish it to.
Familiar Sizes and movement types. - Just basically gives me a way to gauge how they fight, move and function. - The sizes basically mean how likely they are to draw attention or stay hidden. - And how far they may or may not reach. Trance:Perrin’s general attributes increase pretty evenly, his strength may increase a little more than the rest. Trance may more often be activated from boredom or admiration. The only observable change in state for Perrin is that he may give off a light glow equal to that of a dim firefly. As for abilities he has an increased capability to crush things and a higher level of attraction whether it be by charm or other means focus may be more likely to shift upon him.
- The way Trance is activated is through stress and emotions. So tension can induce this. - Your body can shift form due to the sheer power. Such as changing figure a bit.
Pros- High strength, absorbs blows easily Cons- Quick to bring people close, Heavy, wide target space, may have trouble with long distanced running cardio Racial Strengths- He can hold multiple weapons Racial Weaknesses- As a demihuman he is limited to having very few magics that are not his Familiar's.
Background: Perrin was raised and born in Lindblum to two parents. He is the older brother to two brothers and three sisters, oldest by three years. In his childhood most of the time spent was either at home or out hunting. His mother would drag him out into the wilderness to go hunting mostly for the game of it but in claim that it would make the family stronger and backboned (and what meat wasn’t needed could be sold). His dad mostly handled cooking (very well) but as for employment he tended to shift about as a general cook or servant to a an ale-draper and ‘professional’ ale taster in his later years. Hunting is mostly what Perrin remembers along with some amazing days of cooking celebrations. While out hunting he showed skill in collecting firewood, skinning (with an axe), helping set up small traps such as snares and dealing with the occasional bigger threat or game. His other relatives joined in hunts in later years. Rather than staying around the house and hunting only, Perrin began to search elsewhere. Money was seeming rather tight with the growing family, which pushed Perrin in pursuit of work in his preteen years. He quickly found himself indulging all sorts of work and often juggling three at once. He started off often as a general servant, a cook, or packman for other merchants for his starting jobs. Times seemed to become more dangerous or Perrin rather began to notice such, despite this he wanted to continue onward and even beyond with helping around and finding employment. Growing into his teens Perrin rather shifted into some more dangerous and maybe even a bit more hardworking careers. He became a linker boy to guard people on their travels home at night, a mail guard of sorts but rather guarding messages which were supposedly ‘secret’ among merchants until delivered, and his most exciting career as a (very successful) Pugilist especially with a large frame. Slowly enough Perrin wished to explore and travel somewhat like the merchants. He had even suggested it to a few he had known before. After saving up, getting supplies and waiting a year or two until he was sure that his siblings could handle themselves and the family, he pursued after the desire. A job offering had popped up through letter after a few merchants recommended him. Oddly enough he is to travel to the merchants before beginning the career.
The cold had set in rather quickly in multiple senses. The actual cold weather and wind had become more noticeable but also the absence of the people before just suddenly deciding to leave elsewhere seemed to bring a chill and oddity to it. It was likely that the weather was mostly getting to Dovverick again from since had resurfaced but he was not a particular fan of being ignored or abandoned. It felt even worse or perhaps even more irritating since he had to put on a kind and begging like act in order to try and get information about the on goings that had lead some destruction near yonder. Either way the desire to get out of the cold was rising and somewhat tempting to pursue those whom had left in order to give a tongue thrashing of some sort or another. He had not the clue of how to do this beyond that he simply wanted to at this point.
The other traveler was still approaching but it had been of less concern at this point. Who, what or why they were approaching seemed to be very little in importance to the arising annoyance and rudeness of those that came before that traveler, and perhaps a bit of an irritant from the discomforting presence of the said traveler that came about. Whether or not any of them had information seemed very unlikely and a foolish pursuit beyond that of possibly finding some form of closure of enjoyment in dealing with the two previous people, and maybe even the traveler as well. What fools they all started to look like painted in Doverick’s eyes, even himself at this point.
Then again, the ley-line may have been a convenient means of retreat to some healer or some other far beyond but Doverrick doubted that would be the reason for using or taking it. Especially with his own service having been mentioned quickly up front. It seemed while Doverick was thinking for some meaning behind an action or another the Traveler had rather quickly ran through and disappeared into the ley-line for some reason or another. The reason behind that seemed not to matter as that had not been upon Doverick’s mind for long. The expression that the traveler had some warmly had printed across their face had been what got to Doverick more. The grin had rather irritated them or angered them on a deeper level for some unknown reason.
That seemed to be the pushing point. As Doverick himself soon went into the ley-line as well with an angered and upset pout. At least the temperature was hoped to change for the better.
Sorry about the wait. As I've mentioned, I've been struggling with motivation and time coordination a bit (Seeing as I wake up really late and by then it feels too late to get anything done). I will try and get a post up tomorrow.
Personally? I guess I am physically fine, I am not exactly emotionally hurt or in trouble either. Just haven't been motivated or wanting too do much lately, which is pretty bad really I guess.
Randy was briefly stopped by Hitori and knew not the reason why. Even the brief mention of slaying the beast seemed rather ineffectual or pointless to get himself particularly involved in this fight. It strung and even irritated to some degree that it was assumed that Randy was thought to need to ‘earn’ a keep despite his previous or perhaps still current occupation of maintenance of sorts. Keeping things, together and functioning properly to a degree. Focusing on such and more of the results of what had occurred instead of the rest of the chaos unfolding, was rather saddening. He felt more of longing to simply return even more so than he did before. There was likely nothing he could do to save anything now but, what else was he to do? What else was he capable of beyond at least trying again to keep himself occupied? There was an odd feeling of insanity and departure from reality in it but that was not discomforting.
The battle continued to unfold in front of Randy’s eyes. The slight amazement and impressive works of the combatants and what appeared to be magic was either gone or dying quite rapidly in his eyes. He was beginning to lose vision of it or the things around really. Attention and plans were much more being turned inward and inspecting thoroughly for something or anything that could possibly be done or used. There were a few ideas that came to mind but none were viewed as, specifically necessary or perhaps even that useful or obtainable to begin with. Although it would be something, and might be similar to some outer inspirations of ideals. They were, unlikely but it was something.
Maybe it would be a courteous idea to announce his departure back to the wreck of his old job. On the other hand it seemed everyone was busy doing something and he would have likely slipped away unnoticed with the exception of the one person who had stopped him from walking away in the first place. The creature was dead, or appeared dead enough from the rest of group’s efforts. Hopefully that would be more something to dwell on along with dealing with getting out of the forest rather than Randy disappearing for a while. He simply started to slip back toward the ship quite quickly before hopefully anyone else noticed that he was even there. There was something about a giant plant controlling the forest and that was about as much as Randy caught before quickly trying to slip off. If the supplies survived well enough there would hopefully be a welding torch or arc somewhere around perhaps like a bunch of other junk that was around.
Doverrick simply stood there for a few moments or two. It seemed he had surprised the two or at least the one he was assuming was female. It seemed he was rather being studied and stared at for a little while which in itself was uncomforting. The feeling of being stared at like so and studied about made the hyena or gnoll of sorts, uncomfortable with the current situation. The information that could be worked out from them may, however be invaluable so Doverrick simply maintain a wide and pleasant grin across his face to not appear menacing and more of a friendly sort.
It seemed then or soon afterward that the girl and the other had disappeared into the ley line and likely went elsewhere. Which seemed rather rude to Doverrick at the time being as he was ignored or avoided all together. Since the two were gone and disappeared into the ley line and likely would not hear him at the time being, he swore under his breath. More or less coming up with a minor profane name for the two. Unsure of whether or not he should pursue the two was being questioned in the next few seconds.
If he left and went after the two, who knew what might be met on the other side? The two might be too afraid to even think clearly and answer him or they may even try to attack Doverrick simply out of fear. There was the other traveler to worry about as well. The hyena glanced over his shoulder back in the general direction of the traveler that was walking along the path. The chill of the cold began to set in somewhat.
Randy was rather was too focused upon Hitori and their previous freak out only a moment ago to notice that he was being addressed to. Then again by the nickname he was being presented with, it was unlikely he would have recognized it being directed toward himself. Especially since he was rather attuned or used to another nickname by most he was acquainted with in the first place. He had not exactly been slinging it around and about to everyone however. Not likely that he would choose to do so all the time either but there was an odd, pride in his more known nickname or title even.
Randy would rather stay a bit behind if the other decided not to move elsewhere and wanted to rest for a bit after their apparent shock and panic. It seemed rather everyone else was eager to get a move on to escape the forest, which made sense enough of course. There was a brief moment of wanting to ponder why he himself was less concerned with it, seeing as he himself was simply a mechanic instead of a deadly weapon toting or trained in some offense skill or another. Which somewhat reminded him, where had the well-dressed fellow gone?
A nearby shouting of sorts, something about rats had peaked some attention in curiosity. Randy would give off a small hand gesture for Hitori to wait where they were as Randy checked it out. Seeing as the other had been having a bit of a panic a moment ago. He began rather slowly approaching toward the others and the scene of combat that was going on.
It seemed a swarm of rats was quickly upon an armored Hobgoblin fiend of sorts. The nature of the rats bringing a slight curiosity and twinge of discomfort, more so than having seen a vine grow out of a person’s flesh. It seemed the feline tried striking at the beast soon after the rats along with some remarks along the way. It seemed another was also joining in the battle, someone who seemed to suddenly appear. A mist of sorts was spreading across the ground and all sorts of things seemed to be going on. Randy was rather getting somewhat lost in the display of sorts which was imagined to be more exciting entertainment for theater, except for the reality of it.
Everyone seemed to be, well prepared to defend themselves or those near them in the fight. Randy himself would rather stay to the side for now, if not sneak back to Hitori to check on them. There was, likely little he could do to help at the moment without endangering himself. Having seen everyone’s reactions to when he felt exhausted or sore, he rather not dare to risk a real injury or perhaps even get in the way of whatever attacks the groups were using as to distract them. On a minor note he somewhat expected the cold mist to spike up in a large crystal of ice and surrounded the fiend, perhaps that was imagination trying to make predictions.
