That's alright. I can understand how you thought that. Yet this lives. I'll post ronight.

If @Sol Grim isn't able to post soon, I may end up skipping his turn this time around to speed things along.

Sounds fantastic. With all the backline fighters and rouges we have, a solid person who can survive frontline duties would be a blessing. Hope to see the cs soon. Depending on how you play him, he and Ari might have some fun bouncing off each other.

I guess Ari would be extremely unusual by Atlantean standards then, being a black haired telepath in human form. If it's a hard and fast rule for the humanoid denizens of Atlantis, I could go with my original idea of her having golden hair then incorporate gold somewhere in the seal. If not, it'd be one more way she could surprise people who only look at her surface appearance.

@Omega Man

In the appearance section, I describe her seal form along with her human form. Its a silvery grey seal with molted black and tan spots with large dark eyes and whiskers. Basically, she looks like a typical grey seal though larger than the non-selkie ones.

The kind of form that most would mistake for an ordinary seal if one should happen to swim by.

@Omega Man

When transforming from a seal to a human, the human seems to burst out of the seal and leave the skin behind. When transforming back, the human slips and steps into the skin until it envelops the human form and becomes a seal again. So, in essence, its similar to slipping on and off a full body suit except the suit merges with the person to become a full living creature.

I'm interested though I understand if earlier people have first dibs. Can at least have fun creating a character and getting feedback.

The Drifter

Name: Ariana Pheroncas
Codename: The Drifter
Age: 27
Home: Wanders through the realm, though considers the seaside of Scotland to be the closest thing to home
Powers/Abilities:
Telepathy: Can telepathically communicate with others and sense where other people are or overhear their thoughts.
Empathy: She can sense other people's emotions as well as broadcast her own or an emotion she's creating.
Selkie Transformation (racial trait): As a selkie, she is a seal in water but can take off her skin to become human on land.
Mixed Martial Artist: Has her own unarmed martial art style that mixes elements of Atlantian/Selkie and Earthian martial arts along with a typical seal fighting style that can be adjusted to suit her seal form underwater or her human form on land.
Weaknesses:
Can be overwhelmed from the sensations she experiences from her powers if there's tries to actively hear or feel more than ten people at once.
Powers can become erratic if she gets too emotional, especially if she becomes extremely emotionally distraught or panicked
Her seal skin is actively connected to her, even in human form. Meaning that if it is hurt, she experiences the same pain. She could live if its completely destroyed while in human form, but she could never become a seal again. Therefore, whoever has her skin does have power over her as is the case with other selkies.
Equipment: Pan flute, emergency knife, a dozen throwing knives, and her seal skin. (only in human form. Seal doesn't have equipment for obvious reasons.)
Experience: 2 years
Reason For Joining: To help protect the realm, especially from kidnappers. To be on the front lines in case humans decide to try a full on invasion. To prove that selkies can do more than most people expect.
Appearance: While seal, she's a slender silvery grey seal with mottled black and tan spots, large black eyes, and long whiskers. While human, she's black-haired with light tan skin that contains a silver tinge to it and freckles. Her oval face and sharp chin are paired with dark, almost black, brown eyes with larger than normal pupils and long hair that goes down to the small of her back.
BRIEF Bio: Most men know the legend; if you steal a selkie skin, then the selkie must become your wife and will stay so as long as she can never find her seal skin. Ari's life has been shaped from the effects of that myth. Oh there is truth, a selkie's bond with her skin makes it so that one would do anything to prevent it from harm or be able to have a chance to grab it back, even a mockery of marriage. Since barely any aid for their captured kindred came from other sources, the clans organized themselves to be able help those trapped to reclaim their skins, seek their revenge, and return home. When Ari's powers developed, she was a natural for the on land expeditions and keeping watch whenever they visited the shore. As the years went by, Ari became better at using her powers and protecting her people. Now on behalf of the former King, she will extend her protection to the rest of Atlantis.
Notes: Selkies could be considered the wandering gypsies of the Atlantean world if everyone else likes that idea. Ari can definitely play her Pan flute and sing high soprano.

And I'm glad too. Here. Let's pm a bit to set up your character intro. I'm thinking we may as well introduce you in the port but if you have other plans, I'm willing to listen.

No prob. I was a bit worried that things had dropped off altogether.

Seemed to have passed all my classes. Yay! Won't have to repeat anything.
