Middle-Earth: The Fifth Age

@BurningCold I was actually just looking for a province/state to be an envoy of xddddddd. But I guess bad first impressions really stick lol. Not that I'm a troll but I'm rather bored by Rp-ing as the norm so I try to spice it up or that's how I see it. Anyway, down to the drain with the tens of LOTR wiki pages I read to be as precise as I could.
@Lucian@MiddleEarthRoze Sorry to waste your time and annoy you with my irritable character.
Have a good RP

Edit:@Oddsbod Dude seriously, what did I misname? Fables for Tales? I'm pretty sure they are called "Fables", either in game or wiki, the series comics is titled "Fables" and the town is called Fabletown not Taletown.

Who Believes In Fairytales?

@Drag I admit, I was at fault coming with a half-arsed CS that I put up quickly. So lets start a new leaf.

Is the Deceiving Serpent in the Bible that deceived Adam considered a "Tale"?
If you look at it from this point of view, the whole Bible is a well developed fantasy world which teaches us morals and the right way to live. It could very well be considered a book of Tales.

Who Believes In Fairytales?

Name: Count Dracula
Alias/Nickname: Count

Tale

Count Dracula or as he was known before, Vlad the Impaler, was the prince of Wallachia, one of the three principalities of Romania, the others being Moldavia and Transylvania. He was present during the the Late Middle Ages when all three principalities waged war and fought against the invading Turks. There he got his name, Vlad the Impaler. In the battlefield he would wield a long heavy spear with which he rushed the enemy and after impaling him firmly through his body, raised him up in the air and waved him like a flag while screaming a mighty war-cry. The sight alone send fear through the Turks while at the same time encouraging the Romanian forces. He lead many victories against the Ottoman forces, victories which made him a legend but with old age his time on the battlefield had to stop.

Physical Appearance and Attire

Personality

He revels in human agony and death. It is as pure a joy as joy itself for The Count. Exactly the reason why he became a Funeral Director. Blood is the paint, his hands are the brush and the human body is the canvas.

Background

Vlad, having been studying the dark arts of magick for decades now, went in search of the fabled cave of immortality. It was said to be located somewhere along the Southern Carpathians, a range of mountains split in three divisions which extended outside of Romanian territory. Alone he got ready, taking all that was necessary and the finding stone. The stone belonged to the dark arts school in which he studied and it had a special property. Besides finding what your whole being most desired, it also returned to it's nesting place on the school grounds when the carrier died or their desire was fulfilled.

On a journey he went, traversed the mountain range he did while fending off many beasts of the forest with his bare hands. He found it much easier than using a knife. And finally, one night the stone started glowing a brightly red, accompanied by a rising heat that even Vlad couldn't bear, and that is saying something. Dropping it out of inability to carry it anymore, the stone stopped in mid air before touching the ground and rose high above his head. A pointing arrow of red light formed above him which cast light upon a cave opening that in the dark night as he was, it was practically invisible. Approaching it and as he touched the cave, the stone lost it's light and abruptly vanished. No matter, if this was the promised cave from the legends, than he wouldn't need anything else ever again.

Entering inside, the cave was vast and empty. Red glowing plants grew on the ceiling which stood 7 feet above his head. As he studied the thing closer, it seemed to..beat, like a live heart. Even the shape of it was...
TICK
A noise resonated through the cave, a noise that is made when a small piece of pebble is thrown against a wall. Heart beating fast he turned towards the noise to see only the rest of the empty cave. It was just a simple pebble falling from a crack in the ceiling, certainly..when suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine. Turning back quickly while pulling out his knife, still nothing. This place was giving him the creeps. He just had to finish business quickly and leave. Turning around while sheathing the knife he saw it.

Later the next night he emerged from the cave, at last immortal. And that's the story of his making. But something changed in him after meeting the resident inside the cave. He was...different now.

Skills and Abilities

Blood Burrowers - He summons his blood, giving it form and expelling it out of his body with an objective, purpose. They usually burrow inside the victim and mess up their organs, cause heart and brain attacks, paralyze the target among other things. They are extremely during the cast, as they fly from the body of Vlad towards the victim, but if dodged and on the ground they slow considerably and are easily avoidable. They can also reside inside the body of the victim until the specified time arrives, declared when they were given the purpose and then spring into action.
Ignite - Sets the target ablaze.
Drain - Siphons the target's vitality and remaining life span, making the user younger if he so chooses and giving him renewed vigor.
Blood Bending - He has control over his own blood, hardening it, compressing it, decompressing it, rising the pressure etc.
Transformation - He can summon huge black leathery wings on his back which can be used to fight and fly.
Blood Sight - He can see the blood of every one around him, even behind walls or during night.
Shadowspawn - He can summon a group of shadows which do his bidding. The shadows are small and are usually used for spying and observation. If seen, they can take the form of a normal animal in order too fool others.
Shadow Travel - By turning himself into a shadow, Dracula can travel through them at near teleportation speeds, even if they are connected with but a strand of hair. During this form he is at his most vulnerable since even a flash of light can seriously injure him.
Hypnotism - By locking eyes with the target he can use hypnotism to gain control over them. The control however is limited to a short duration and is harder on Fables.
Infecting Touch - By exchanging fluids with the victim, he can choose to transform them into lesser vampires. Though he made them he can hardly control them. This transformation process can't affect Fables for some reason.

Starting Items/Trinkets

A golden cross with a black gem in the middle - as he was fighting against the Ottomans he also joined a society that served the cross by killing it's enemies. Those enemies being the Ottomans at the time. The cross has powers beyond the connection to God. The Black gem can be consumed in order to shield him once on a life threatening situation by the light of sun.
A black ring with golden serpentine engravings and a dark crimson gem in the middle - Located on his right hand ring finger, it enhances his Blood Burrowers magick by raising the number of serpents created from 2 to 3 and their duration while outside a body from 7 to 13 seconds. It also reduces the required amount of blood needed to summon them.
A black ring with golden flame engravings and a dark blue gems in the middle - Located on his right hand pointing finger, it enhances his Ignite magick which now transforms his fire from red to blue giving it additional properties. For one, now it also affects the target's mental health, burning it bit by bit while causing tremendous pain which is said to rival those of hell. Even if you put it out, the target will still feel the pain for some time after, slowly diminishing.
A black ring with golden water flow markings and a dark green gem in the middle - Located on his left hand ring finger, it enhances his Drain magick by reducing the time it can completely drain a target by 50% and increasing the healing received from any magick source by 100%.
A golden black pocket watch with disturbing engravings - Which besides measuring time with multiple hands and mechanisms, it also has a special power. By inserting a drop of blood in a hidden pocket inside it, you can access the target's recent memories. The more blood you put the farther back you go. The target should be alive for this effect to work properly.
A black cane with a golden black wolf head on the handle - The wolf head has the mouth open at the place that you would place your hand if you were to use the sword sheathed inside the cane. The sword is a dark black with golden words and markings engraved in it. Upon putting his hand on the handle, the mouth bites down and drinks his blood, giving the blade and the user added power and speed while consuming the user's blood. Upon hitting the target and drawing blood, it uses it to replenish the health of the user. The user can feed it even more of it's vitality in order to enter the next stage, encasing himself with a full body black armor which exponentially raises his defenses.
An enchanted black umbrella - Which besides protecting him from the sun, also reduces the reflected light that hits the carrier by casting an ominous shadow around it.
All the engravings and markings on his objects seem to move and slither around if you pay close attention to them.

Weaknesses and Flaws

Silver - It removes his healing ability on the stricken area and it boils his blood close to where the silver object inside his body is. Effectively making it almost impossible to use his own blood to perform magick.
Sunlight - If he is exposed to sunlight for an extended duration of time without cover he will begin turning into ash. Only by light from the real Sun can he die. Magick that imitates the same light or even concentrated moonlight have a minimal effect of annoying him if not worst, anger him.

Middle-Earth: The Fifth Age

@MiddleEarthRoze I didn't mean to annoy you, my apologies. But whats so lore breaking about a simple bird companion? Hell, they are used all the time for communications and such among other things.

Middle-Earth: The Fifth Age

I meant either a normal eagle, envoy* of Radagast OR** one of the miniature great eagles which is pretty far fetched and I admit kinda stupid. So basically, just an eagle, simple eagle. Maybe a half breed with a peregrine falchon. Or just a peregrine falchon with magically enhanced eyesight or some other properties, or just a simple one if you want. Let me play a bird...

'Misthophoroi' - Sci-Fi Mercenary RP

Plasma breathing-full body black alien metal scaled-lizard man that can burrow or slither like a snake who wields a plasma edged sword...he can also empower his body with plasma to boost all his stats and give special properties to his atatcks for a short period of time.

Middle-Earth: The Fifth Age

Lol, now that I look back at it, what have I been writing!?!?!? My initial trail of thought was to be a spider, then came the question of how* a creature of darkness would help the band of merry heroes so I decided to transform it into an raven.
Anyway, now that I'm well rested, I would like to roleplay as a simple Eagle. Be it an envoy from Radagast sent to help the band reach their destination safely by using my scouting abilities or even be one of the Great Eagles...in miniature...but that is more lore bending so I won't consider it. So, can I be an eagle?

History

He was brought in to serve the Empire when he was 9 years old. His training was hard and rigorous, testing his mental and physical capabilities to the limit. With hard training and good genetics his body muscle grew exponentially, also achieving a height of 178 cm at age 15. Besides him being in peak physical condition, he was also noted for quick thinking, exemplary show of loyalty towards higher ups and putting his mission above all. Even in team trials or versus matches in the academy, he never even took a second glance at his fallen comrades, he was always in the vanguard, being the first to charge and bait the enemies to focus him giving his comrades a chance to kill. In other times he charged forward, getting in close while his teammates covered him, giving him a chance to take things to close quarters where he had the advantage. Noting all these traits they decided to list him as a potential candidate on being an Imperial Heavy Trooper in the Stormtrooper Corps. So he was taken aside from the other cadets and trained separately with a selected other group of individuals. This training was harsher and unforgiving. By the end of all that, only he and a few others were given the honor of serving the Empire as a full fledged Imperial Heavy Trooper.

After leaving the academy he was sent on different missions throughout different contested worlds. He was charged with dealing against large and/or difficult to kill enemies. In many of those worlds he encountered "Jedi" in battle. While most if not every single Jedi was eradicated, their students still roamed about, practicing in hiding. He mostly used cheap tactics to get the upper hand, using surprise as a battle winning factors. That and the fact that he had the help of multiple squadrons under his command, backing him up while he fought in the front lines. In one particular mission he was sent to eradicate a group of Jedis hiding in an uninhabited densely forested planet. It was briefed that they were training young future force users and Di's mission along with 9 other Imperial Heavy Troopers was to engage them, distracting them while another group acquired the younglings. If this mission failed then they had orders to kill the younglings, "better than being in the enemies hands" as they put it. As he was fighting, the Jedi knocked his helmet off and nearly missed killing him, instead only injuring his left eye and ear, both organs lost, scarred to this day. Luckily the Jedi was forced to retreat as more back up arrived and the fire power became too much for the force user to deflect or dodge. Di was taken back by a medic and patched up, made aware that his left eye and hearing were lost. After taking just a few moments to regain his balance, he got his electrostaff and went to check on the younglings while the Jedis were distracted, deciding that it was the best course of action taking into consideration his wounds. When he approached the residence where the younglings were supposed to be, he saw multiple dead bodies, dozens of the Empire's forces laying motionless on the ground and a clocked figure limping in the distance, heading towards a hole in the ground, surely towards where the younglings were hidden.

Di activated a timed grenade, throwing it to explode a few feet before hitting the target. As the grenade flew towards the target, just as he expected, the Jedi used the force to stop it mid air. No sooner than it stopped, the grenade exploded knocking the clocked figure back, slamming it through a tree. It turned out to be a young girl as Di approached her unconscious body and took a closer look at her features. He then turned his head towards the hole, whimpers could be heard coming from inside it and just as he was about to approach it he was suddenly lifted up then abruptly slammed down, creaks on the ground formed around his body at the place of impact. If it wasn't for his extra hardened armor and physical enhancements, he would have certainly blacked out if not worst, but none the less Di pretended to be unconscious. As the Jedi shifted his attention from him to the other unconscious force user, Di quietly retrieved a grenade and threw it in the underground hideout. The children quickly reacted to it and the Jedi, sensing the danger, used his force powers to quickly lift it up and away from the younglings. Di used his opportunity and got up in a flash, his electrostaff in his hand, hitting the Jedi in the sheen, making him lose focus, the grenade falling again into the hideout. With barely enough time to react, Di raised his electrostaff to defend against the lightsaber attack, as soon as they made contact the lightsaber short-circuited. Without the saber even shutting off completely, the Jedi kicked the trooper hard in the stomach, sending him flying off the ground tens of meters away until it reduced to a slide then a stop, the trooper laying there, unable to move. When the Jedi's attention finally returned to the hideout and the grenade danger, it was already too late.

The last things he heard were screams then an explosion, the hideout shortly collapsing afterward, burying the horrific tragedy that just occurred. Di could hear the explosion, the anger fueled scream then silence... He tried to call for back up but the comm device wasn't functioning. Suddenly all the trees around him were blown aside, leveling the area where he was standing, also knocking him further back, slamming him towards a cut trunk in a seating position, his head and back leaning on the trunk. He could barely keep track of what was happening at this point, too exhausted and wounded. The pain was hard to NOT keep track off as he could feel every inch of his body aching and throbbing as blood trickled out from his armor suit. A force lifted his body, a force choke focused on his throat, blocking his respiratory system and gradually causing the trooper's vision to fade. Well, he fulfilled the mission.. He couldn't help but meekly smile at the fact that his last thoughts were about the mission, the greatness of the Empire. NO, why couldn't he have something for himself? Something personal to remember on his dying moment..ANYTHING. Anger sparked inside him at the realization of the empty life that he had. If only he had made different choices.. Too late now, this was where the journey ended for ID-2076..or so he thought. As his body was levitating towards the angry Jedi with the lightsaber in hand, Troopers approached from the woods, their white silhouettes could be seen running towards the open area they were in. As it completely faded to black, Di saw shots fired towards the Jedi's back, coming from all side.

He woke up in the medical chambers aboard the star ship from which he embarked from at the start of the mission. He saw the medical droid looking through his health data, finally determining that he was fit enough to presume daily life without medical assistance it approached the drawer, picked up and presented his off-duty cloths to him. It also added :"How is your left eye and ear functioning?". Surprised by this at first, Di quickly remembered what had happened and of the Medic Trooper informing him of how the left eye and ear were beyond repair. The droid briefly explained that they were replaced by enhanced cybernetic replicas of the original also adding that the higher ups had requested him to present himself before them with a detailed verbal report of the mission as soon as he was to wake up. After dressing the trooper went on to present his report. First he was congratulated on the successful mission. Every force user on that planet was eradicated. As Di explained the details he was cut off mid sentence saying that there was no female Jedi on that planet. When the trooper was about to insist otherwise, his superior added that multiple scouting groups were dispatched to search the area for any survivors and no one had left the planet either. This was passed as mild confusion after being slammed into the ground.. although that happened after* he saw her... Di finished explaining the mission details then left with a salute. A few days later he got a promotion to Company Leader in light of the brilliant decision making and overall micro-management of his squads.

A few years later the news arrived. Like a hammer which missed the center point of the nail causing it to twist and break, came the news of the Emperor's demise. Lord Vader seemingly perished alongside him. This meant a lot of things. For one, there was a power gap which everyone would be clawing through each-other to fill. He had to make his move. But before that could happen, a few weeks later a self proclaimed warlord asked for Di to join his ranks. This "Warlord" had already amassed a large number of military forces, meaning that once joining him, Di and his company would melt right into it. No, he needed to find a less powerful one, someone he could use and eventually take over. With this in mind he refused, something which marked his fall. Not even a few days later, Di found himself on a remote planet lying on a swamp half dead, surely presumed fully dead by his Company. The capsule on which he used to reach the planet lay broken and heavily damaged a few feet away. He was out of the game without even starting it. Heavy and aching all over as he was he made his way through the flora. It must've been poison, he thought to himself and as to confirm it, after removing one glove he noticed black veins pulsing on his hands. If it wasn't for the wide variety of drugs that he usually took on a regular basis he could have as well been dead, his body dumped in the swamp of some faraway planet. This planet however, seemed to belong to the Hutt, the fact being made apparent by the guards standing outside a fortification, asking on Di's business with the Hutts. Long story short he was taken in by them, fixed and placed under their debt. He worked the good time of a year as a bounty hunter to pay it back. Even after the debt was payed he still continued to work for them. The pay was good, his slug bosses were feared throughout the galaxy, and being part of that wasn't half bad. His main job applications were for hunting remnant force users. At this time though, common high reward missions will suffice.
