Dark Souls: Sins of the Lords

...I feel like Artyom is the only proper undead in the party. Everyone else is an Unkindled.

Dark Souls: Sins of the Lords

As Artyom's gaze looked over at the valley that he would soon have to enter in order to continue onwards, he couldn't help but let a sigh escape him from lungs that one could arguable didn't require air anymore. He was already trying to get into the habit of breathing through his mouth; the taste of the rotten air alone was bad enough as it were, he didn't need to sully his sense of smell as well.

Still, the warmth of the bonfire that the young Count was standing near did go a long way to focus on the here and now, taking away the dread that came with trying to cross the swamp for just a little while in order to rest his bones for a time. This focusing on the here and now brought his attention to the still living man that appeared to be impaled several times to a tree. He seemed at peace enough, but ever the empathetic person Artyom asked "Sir, would you require some assistance?" taking a moment to clearly indicate the metal rods poking through him.

Artyom Barkov of Blood River

Name:
(Count) Artyom Barkov

Age:
23

Gender:
Male

Appearance:
Artyom Barkov, third son of Count Barkov of the Ori River, was rather average looking compared to his two elder brothers. Pale skin, tired looking blue eyes, well kept short brown hair and a rather slender body shape, Artyom looked more suited to the role of a lawyer or judge then a Count like his father. The curse of undeath has resulted in the dark mark that he has been forced to bare in the middle of his back, a symbol of his fate as one of the undead.

Weapon:
Currently favors a solid looking shield combined with a well made longsword.

Armor:
Artyom wears the plate armor of a minor noble; rather plain looking but effective at the job that it is being asked to do in trying to keep its wearer alive.

Curse: Undead

Minor History: The Ori River that ran through the lands of the Barkov family was believed by many to have been blessed by the gods and thus the waters were considered holy. In an attempt to deal with the undead plague in his lands, Count Barkov (Artyom's father) would slay those afflicted with undeath and dump their corpses in the river to let the holiness purify and purge the taint while carrying the body away. While it quickly became clear that the river's holiness didn't cure undeath, it did get the undead out of his lands (And no longer his problem) and thus the practice continued.

So many corpses were dumped in the Ori River that the waters turned crimson with blood. The Ori River was renamed the Blood River shortly afterwards.

Mr Nailbrain

Name: Mr Nailbrain
Race: Bokoblin
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Description:
Mr Nailbrain stands just shy of the average Hyrulian, dressed in what appears to be a pair of worn blank pants made out of some sort of cloth and a vest absolutely covered in pockets with tools and gadgets of some strange nature that only Mr Nailbrain seems to have any real understanding of the nature of. Bright lime green skin covers his somewhat bulky frame, his eyes hidden under a pair of goggles with blue tinted glass that he honestly never removes for any reason what so ever; Those who look closely will actually notice that the goggles appear to be nailed into his skull along the straps at some point to prevent them slipping or being lost.

Mr Nailbrain favorite weapon of choice started life as a humble crossbow... before Mr Nailbrain started to make improvements... The current edition of the weapon has a somewhat oversized blade wielded to the bottom of the crossbow in order to allow for melee combat while firing off fires tipped with a small orb that explodes on impact with the target... or at least whatever it hits. It also has slots in order to carry tins for food or flasks (Normally filled with some kind of alcohol).

Character:
Mr Nailbrain has been described by his peers and closest friends as being retarded, crazy or a genius, or any combo of those three at any given time. He has always been obsessed with machines and inventions... regardless of how insane or stupid the idea that is currently running through his head at the moment might be; It isn't strange for Mr Nailbrain to start working on a project that is designed to do one thing, only to have the inspirational voices in his head give him a brand new idea halfway through. The end product tends to be a mix match of at least two or three different inventions that are designed to do different things that rarely have anything to do with each other... and is generally really hazardous to one's health to actually use. Strangely enough the things tend to work for a little while at least... normally when Mr Nailbrain is the one using them.

Mr Nailbrain is incredibly loyal to Ze for reasons beyond the standard fear of getting the shit kicked out of him if he isn't. The two of them have worked together for years and they both have a deep seated respect for the abilities of the other. The goggles that Mr Nailbrain wears were a gift from Ze rather early on in their friendship and not wishing to lose them or have them stolen Mr Nailbrain nailed them into his skull himself, earning the name that everyone knows him by (His original name having long been forgotten). If questioned about his methods in relation to his goggles Mr Nailbrain will happily answer that since he has neither lost or had his goggles stolen since he nailed them to his head, he was clearly onto something and he was surprised more people didn't do the same.

Biography:
Much like his friend and leader Ze, Mr Nailbrain was born within the Hyrulian Empire. The two of them actually met for the first time when they joined the Mob Street Brawlers at around the same time and were lumped together with the either newbies. Where the other gang members saw Mr Nailbrain as an insane fool that was fit only to be sent into a dangerous fight in the first wave to hopefully kill or die (They didn't really care which), Ze saw the spark of genius that the Bokoblin processed and quickly befriended him. After their first proper scrap with one of the other gangs (And the early arrivals from the guard to dumb to wait for back up), Ze got his friend a pair of goggles. Touched by the gesture and afraid of losing them or having them stolen, the Bokoblin did the only logical thing in his mind and nailed them to his head.

As Ze rose through the ranks of the gang, Mr Nailbrain was beside him as his right hand goblin and tech expert. When the Brawlers fell apart to infighting Mr Nailbrain was one of the few goblins that went with Ze outside of the Empire to see the state of their kind beyond the boarders. He is also one of the few that has come with Ze to Castle City in order to set plans that they have both discussed together into motion.

Totem: Rat... through in order to be completely accurate it would be some kind of cyborg rat with wires sticking out of its head that worked out how to create a lazer eye in order to deal with the issue of cats and frozen cheese. Mr Nailbrain has always had quite the cunning mind and has always followed in the shadow of those greater then him in return for the things that he needs, much like how Rats have adopted Hyrulians as their chief source of food and shelter.

Magic: Mr Nailbrain is one of the lucky beings on the planet to process innate magic, unknowing altering the world around him in order to make whatever he is working on work...even if the laws of nature, physics and sanity say otherwise. Mr Nailbrain himself is completely unaware of this fact and there are only a handful of people on the planet that could watch him work and recognize that he is using magic at all; As far as he is aware, Mr Nailbrain just believes that he is really that good at working machinery and everyone just sucks at it.

And here is my second character to partner up with Ze. Thoughts?

Still here. Just have been finding it hard to post something for Draco lately.

@Nevis

I've actually figured out a legitament reason that Ze would be in the Capital to meet people...

I actually have a second character in mind to go with Ze if you don't mind...

@Dedonus

I want to get a post up but I've just been finding it really hard to get into the Loki mood... Sorry.

[Still Seeking Players] The Legend of Zelda: The White Triforce

I decided to pick a Moblin because apart from the Darknuts I don't see anyone ever really selecting them.

The fact that I've been somewhat inspired by Warboss Gorgutz as a makeshift spirit animal for Ze is going to make playing him really fun.
