@ZAVAZggg Accepted, although I wonder what a vampire plans to do for 'retirement'? lol

@Blackmist16

Who knows? Also sorry for the other tag in my character vault. I was copying it over.

Talus

▰▰ Talus ▰▰

_{"Officially I don't exist, and in a couple of seconds neither will you."}

---

---

—Species—

• Android.

—Gender—

• Male.

—Age—

• Unknown, though it has apparently been long enough for Talus' internal clock to lose track. That or the sheer amount of damage he's taken over the years has knocked more than a few screws loose.

—Personality—

• Talus is, for the most part, ruthless and efficient. At least when it comes time for a job to be done anyway, although he will occasionally allow a bit of dry humor or wit to slip out in order to lighten up what is an otherwise tense and risky situation. He also appears to be quite introspective as well, often slipping into bouts of deep analysis or thought when there is time for such. As for what he is thinking about, no one but him can ever know for sure, as he is not exactly one to share the contents of these thoughts with others. Finally, while he does not mention it, it does appear as though the nature of his work weighs upon him heavily at times. This ultimately does little to stop him from getting the job done, however, no matter how much of a burden it comes to be.

—Reputation—

• Talus' reputation truly runs on a need-to-know basis. Meaning if one does not need, then one most certainly does not know.

—History—

• As if widespread redactions on his identity in both physical and digital documentation wasn't bad enough, the fact that he cannot reliably recall most of his past makes any and all endeavors to learn about his history even worse, since what little non-classified material there is might not even be accurately remembered.

—Gear—

Weapons

• Spectre-09 - A sleek looking yet surprisingly sturdy assault rifle with violet highlights and a built-in holographic sight, this gun comes with your standard trio of firing modes, along with obvious ones such as safe. These are single-shot, burst, and full-auto respectively. In regards to ammunition types, the Spectre fires high-caliber milspec grade kinetic rounds designed to tear through armor and flesh with ease.
  ‎
• AM3 - A veritable beast of a handgun, the Aries Model 3 is perfect for use in close quarters scenarios where significant stopping power is required, as it relies on an energy cell powered firing system to generate and deliver devastating bolts of plasma to a target. Recoil and overheating are still a bit of an issue however, despite the manufacturer's best efforts to eliminate them.

Utilities & Equipment

• x3 Z-Nades - Despite the somewhat intimidating name, Z-Nades or Zero Nades are actually hollow tubes designed to release a molecular freezing agent a few seconds after being primed in order to rapidly bind with the joints or hinges of whatever synthetic object it comes into contact with, locking them in place. These are generally used for taking high priority android targets down without causing too much harm, or in cases where the situation warrants a more non-lethal approach. This agent has no effect on organic non-synthetic material however, and appears as a thin layer of easily discarded frost.
  ‎
• CYPHER - Mainly a type of intrusive program that Talus was given by his employers, CYPHER is typically deposited into the mind of an artificial target via a spike housed in his forearm, which he uses to safely locate and extract potentially sensitive data. From here the information is transmitted back along the spike, where it is then written onto an encrypted solid-state drive for future viewing and use.
  ‎
• R.A.T.S - The Rogue Android Targeting System, or R.A.T.S for short, is a multiuse software suite connected to Talus' physical senses that provides him a plethora of options when it comes to stalking his prey, the most valuable of which is his ability to track a target based on their micro-radiation signature alone, though other onboard utilities - such as thermal imagers and footprint analyzers just to name a few - do exist for him to use.
  ‎
• Nanoweave Cloak - Made from nanoweave mesh, this self-repairing hooded cloak not only offers Talus a fair amount of protection against kinetic projectiles, it also lets him use a form of active camoflage. It does not let him turn completely invisible however, being used for blending in more with the surrounding environment instead. Thus should one look closely enough or should he move about too unnaturally, Talus may find himself easily detected. Finally, the cloak does not offer the greatest protection against energy based projectiles, as they tend to burn out or short circuit the nanites it is comprised of. This slows the automatic repair process, since new nanites must be created from nearby material, a serious diversion of both resources and time that severely disrupts his active camoflage capabilities as a result.

Ship(s)

• The Turing - Appearing as an almost amphibious or even fishlike creature with two massive arms, the Turing is fitted with the latest in regards to military tech, coming fully stocked with its own miniature armory, long-range sensors, and even an onboard stealth system, although it should be noted that this is in place to hide the ship while it resides on a planet's surface since it would be practically useless in space. Oddly enough the Turing does not have any weapon platforms to speak of, such things having been cut in favor of a making a craft focused more on maneuverability, speed, and ease of infiltration rather than one focused solely on offense. To this end the ship has been fitted with several forms of thrust in addition to its standard intersystem jump drive, the most noticeable and powerful of which are the twin rotating engines sprouting from the tips of each wing. Several micro-thrusters line various parts of the ship's hull as well, and are mainly used for more delicate maneuvers or steering in general. Lastly, the underbelly of the Turing is lined with eight ionic repulsors, four on each side, that it uses to hover in place.

Wealth & Resources

• Credits - Enough to maintain himself, his gear, and his ship, plus any additional payment he gets from a successful job. The exact amount remains a tightly kept secret however.
  ‎
• Friends in High Places - Thanks to the nature of his work and impressive record thus far, Talus can occasionally call upon his mysterious benefactors for a favor, so long as it is a reasonable one.

@ZAVAZggg Doesn't mean you can't give them a proper send off or a new start.

@Blackmist16

Funny this should be mentioned just as I finish revamping one of my old sheets. I might give this a shot. And this character I have lets me leave to focus on other RPs for a time if need be...

The Guild Inn & Tavern (Adventurers Always Welcome/Re-Open For Business)

Interesting. Unfortunately I hate all of my old characters, and probably shouldn't join more RPs at the moment, otherwise I'd definitely be down.

Identity

• Tarr'kash
• Lord of The Maw
• Bringer of Madness

Type

• Scion

Myth

• "They say ancient things stir in the depths of the Maw... things best forgotten by mortal man," the hermit said, picking lazily at a sore while hurling a hacked up gob of spit towards the path's outermost edge.
  
  "What kinds of things?"
  
  The questioner was a younger man and well kept, as all self-proclaimed scholars from the city of Marleon were before years of study and writing by the dim candlelight inevitably took their toll. Ruining their eyesight, cramping their hands, and destroying their posture, assuming they didn't manage to fall prey to their own stupidity while studying abroad in the field that is.
  
  "Forgotten things, or did ya not hear me the first time ya daft fool?"
  
  "I heard you just fine old man," the scholar snapped. Inhaling deeply, he took a moment to compose himself before continuing. "But as a scholar, and one with a vested interest in the town of Oldcross and its environs at that, it is my duty to find out as much about the area, its inhabitants, and legends as I possibly can."
  
  He cracked the slightest of smiles.
  
  "Consider it a matter of scholarly responsibility if you will."
  
  The hermit grumbled, scratching at the hardened dirt beneath their feet with a gnarled stick.
  
  "Eh, fine! Not like it's my life on the line anyway. If a young fool wants to get himself tangled up in unsavory business, who am I to question it?"
  
  The squat man shuffled closer, cupping a calloused hand round the side of his mouth as though he were conversing with a fellow conspirator.
  
  "So you want to know about the Maw eh? Well listen good young blood, for I'll only tell ye this once. Legend has it that there's something foul buried there in the heart of that mine, something from all the way back in the Old Time, or whatever you learned folk call it. Most of the people who live in Oldcross seem to think its some manner `o cursed artifact on account of the barren soil, since anything planted within ten feet of the Maw shrivels up and dies within hours."
  
  "Interesting... very interesting indeed," the scholar said, pulling a sheaf of papers from the satchel slung over his shoulder to take note.
  
  "And that's not all!"
  
  The hermit rubbed his hands together with an almost manic grin.
  
  "I've also heard tell that animals won't go near the place and that torches go out within the tunnels all the time, even when there's not a breeze to be felt! But that isn't the worst part, far from it! No, the worst part is the nightmares afflicting those who work the mine itself. Rumor has it that anyone who so much as sets foot in that accursed place is driven mad!"
  
  "I see..." the scholar muttered, scratching his chin. "Is there anything else you can tell me? About the surrounding area or the town's history perhaps?"
  
  The hermit shook his head and gave a small shrug.
  
  "I'm not one to know anything about that, only thing I know about the place is what I've heard, which I've already told ye. You'd be better off consulting the town scribe to tell ya the truth, as they'd know more about the town and its history than an old wanderer like me."
  
  The scholar nodded, letting out a disappointed sigh.
  
  "Ah, well many thanks for answering my questions in any case."
  
  He tucked his sheaf of papers away and, pulling out a small sack of gold, tossed a coin at the ragged looking man.
  
  "For your troubles."
  
  "Thank ye kindly milord," the man said as he inspected the coin, quickly sequestering it away within the folds of his tattered robes. "Powers favor thee."
  
  The scholar nodded as he put his gold away, watching the man as he shuffled back down the road for naught but a moment before continuing on his way...

The Black Prophecy (Dead now; requiescat in pace!)

Slidin on in.

EDIT: Here's my sheet. Let me know if I should change anything, and as for the theme I'm going for, it's very much Lovecraftian. More the creeping madness and horror part, especially near the beginning of his arc.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I am unfortunately unacquainted with the Final Fantasy lore.

Sephy was also a secret boss in Kingdom Hearts, right?

@Legend

If you call that version of him Sephiroth, then yes.

IRL you vs Internet you!

I hide how much of an asshole I am in real life because it would only hinder me, whereas online in a lot of places I don't. That's about it. Could I be better? Sure. Have I tried? To some extent. Has it worked?

Eeeeh...

Other than that I don't say much in real life, unless I'm around people I actually like, if I don't need to, preferring to be left to do what I need to do without interruption.

As for which I prefer, well, since there isn't too much of a distinction other than me repressing part of my nature I figure that question is kind of moot.

The Black Prophecy

Another question, but seeing how there might be alternate dimensions, is it possible to summon something more powerful than a scion or even Chernobog himself?
