Yeah, I think I've told you about the one I tried to do a while back. It got about as far as this one, sadly. No love for the Turtles, I suppose.
So... no Casey? <_<
Name: Ishmael
Nickname/Alias: Leviathan, at least that's what the nice people call him. Everyone else usually defaults to Monster or Freak or some variant thereof.
Age: He honestly doesn't know. No one ever told him when he was born or even when his birthday is. His best guess is that he may still be in his twenties, though even that is a rough estimate at best.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Lawful/Chaotic Bias? C
Good/Evil Bias? G
Mutant/Human Bias? N

Appearance: What most see when they see Ishmael is a young man who keeps himself wrapped up in a trench coat, hat-and-scarf combination or some kind of hood, doing everything he can to stay covered up even in warm weather. Underneath all that is what most would describe as a some kind of a humanoid sea monster. With skin covered in scales of blue and green, fin-like extensions in place of what would normally be hair, sizable gills at the base of his neck and along the sides of where his ribs are, and membrane webbing between and his fingers and toes, Ishmael looks like he walked off the set of the Creature From the Black Lagoon. When he speaks his voice contains a gravelly, monstrous tone that he cannot hide or change, though he has at times managed to pass it off as the voice of a chain-smoker while on the phone. Even his eyes are inhuman, instead being dark and beady and obviously designed more for seeing underwater. If that weren't enough, he can grow to the size of a body-builder, his torso becoming much more puffed out and his arms and legs much more beefy. If he weren't a monster before, he certainly is at that point.

Personality: Ishmael is practically the embodiment of the strong, silent type. He hates talking, and when he does he keeps it short and to the point. If he is provoked into a more prominent speaking role, it's likely because someone angered him enough into making him explode into telling them off, with the unfortunate side effect of becoming much more frightening than he ever intends to. Because showing his feelings tends to make him look like more of a scary monster, Ishmael has adopted the practice of keeping those feelings bottled up, letting them out only when he knows he's alone or the people he's with know him better than to be frightened, though mostly it's the former scenario.

At times Ishmael comes across like he just hates everyone in general, though that could just be the nature of his mutation doing that. People who meet him, but don't get to know him, often swear up and down that just because Ishmael himself feels miserable that that means everyone else has to be miserable along with him. They are wrong, of course, as anyone who spends a significant amount of time around him will quickly realize. Unfortunately, his frightening appearance does him no favors when it comes to making friends, which essentially means that, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, Ishmael is just a bitter monster full of hate and contempt for those around him. No matter how far from the truth that sentiment actually is.

Back story: Unsure of when he was born, or even of his parentage, Ishmael was essentially the property of a circus for as long as he could remember. The Ocean Terror, or so the signs claimed he was. He was basically a sideshow freak. Though unlike all the others in the circus, who at least still looked human and could go out and interact with them normally, Ishmael was of course too scary to ever be let out of his confinement. Either he was in a cage of some kind, or kept in an aquarium tank. Either way, he was never allowed to go out, or even to speak to people. Behind the scenes, the ringmaster was quite the cruel man who demanded that his rules be followed or that there would be hell to pay. He liked targeting Ishmael with his abuse in particular, perhaps because he simply hated mutants, no one was ever really sure. But he barely fed Ishmael, believing that the hungrier he was, the more frightening he could be toward the audiences and costumers. After all, a ravenous monster was far easier to sell than a kind one. If he wasn't treating Ishmael with malnourishment, the ringmaster was subjecting Ishmael to other tortures, mainly to see just what kind of punishment the monster could and couldn't take, so that he could be advertised as "indestructible" and be able to prove it with performances.

This went on for quite a few years, mostly until Ishmael's late teens. On one particular day, Ishmael finally snapped. He was sick of his treatment and sick of the ringmaster getting away with all his abuses. With his anger, his body grew larger until he was able to break out of his chains and cage. He lashed out against the ringmaster, killing him. Still coming to terms with what he'd done, Ishmael ran. He ran away from the circus, simply fighting off everyone who tried to capture or restrain him. Thankfully, they were setup on a pier that day and Ishmael escaped to the sea. He's tried to keep himself hidden since then, only going out into public while hiding his appearance under heavy costume and usually running away again as soon anyone discovers him. Since he was never given a name, and the only bit of culture he was exposed to at the circus was listening to one of the clowns read Moby-Dick, he gave himself the name Ishmael. Of course, the media often referred to him as Leviathan, choosing to compare him to sea monsters from mythology. He's tried helping people, doing the whole hero thing, but it almost always blows up in his face somehow, so nowadays he just sticks to keeping to himself.

Ability: Ishmael is probably one of the few mutants in the world who actually physically mutated. He is essentially an amphibious humanoid fish person. Not only can he breathe in the water, but he can also withstand the immense pressure of swimming down to the ocean floor. He's tough, even outside the water, where his scaly skin is tough enough to be like armor, and Ishmael himself is strong enough to tear open a car and rip out the engine parts. The tips of his fingers and toes can rip and tear as if they were claws, and he appears to have some degree of a healing factor, as what few injuries that can be inflicted upon him are often healed right up within hours. His last ability, often tied directly to his anger and rage, is when he grows in size, essentially "hulking out" and temporarily becoming even stronger and tougher than he was previously. This can be a curse as much as a blessing, though, since hulking out like this often involves going into a blind rage that he can't always control. Being amphibious, Ishmael can't stay out of water for more than a couple of days at most before needing to submerge himself again to re-hydrate. Speaking of which, Ishmael can also be weakened by dehydration, especially when subjected to extreme heat. Extreme cold can also slow him down, this is all likely due to his amphibian nature.

Equipment: None

I get the Moby-Dick correction, but I'm not sure how the Good/Evil Bias counts as a mistake?

The star shard is well, a bit random. It teleports people when it wants to wherever it wants. Disney castle has plenty of Gummy Ships Max might "borrow" that would be more reliable, and less high-risk if he got caught with it. I dont require you to use the gummy ships, I just would rather leave the star shard decision to anybody who plays Mickey, if anybody wants to.


Huh, you'd think a missing Gummi Ship would be lot more noticeable than a pocket-sized gem thing. But okay, I will of course defer to your say on the matter.
We will be starting in Traverse Town, your character should either be pulled from their world by Heartless/Nobodies/Etc or make their way there via Gummy Ship (or Keyblade Glider in the case of Terra Aqua Ven).


I don't suppose Mickey's Star Shard thing from BBS is still usable? I'm thinking Max could have "borrowed" it for his trip.
Name: Max Goof

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Weapon: Shields
Equipped: Knight's Shield

Abilities


Appearance


Personality: Max is noticeably more intelligent than his father, but also tends to be a bit more abrasive and aggressive, especially while fighting enemies. While he does love his father and wants nothing more than to become a knight like him, Max also dreads becoming too much like Goofy, and so he often tries to overcompensate by actively avoiding doing clumsy things, usually feeling very embarrassed whenever he does act clumsily. Apart from all of this, Max is every bit a good person and loyal to the King like his dad is.

Bio: Max spent the better part of childhood watching his dad practice and train, soon enough picking up a shield of his own as soon as he was big enough to do so. Max was a quick study, able to learn many of Goofy's signature techniques and even began working on a couple of his own. It wouldn't be long before Max was able to stand at Goofy's side as a Knight of Disney Castle. Before that could ever happen, though, the King mysteriously vanished, leaving behind only a letter instructing Goofy and Donald to go out and find a "key". Naturally, the two followed orders and left Disney Castle immediately. This event pushed Max's knighthood forward, him being allowed to act as Captain in Goofy's absence so that the Castle would not be left undefended. The Queen seemed to have faith in him, anyway, despite his inexperience.

Some time after they departed, a weary and exhausted Donald returned to the Castle, and he did not bring good news with him. He reported that he and Goofy had indeed found the "key" - a boy named Sora - but after they traveled with him for a time, the Darkness began to overpower them, with Donald being the only one who managed to escape. As for Sora and Goofy, their whereabouts and well-being became unknown. Unable to accept that his dad could be gone, an angry Max took one of the Knight's Shields and snuck away from Disney Castle under cover of night, his only mission now was to find his dad and bring him home safe.

Other: While Max is indeed a skilled knight-in-training, he is technically still in training. He's not a full-fledged knight yet, and as such he lacks Goofy's experience. He also somewhat lacks his dad's sturdiness, Goofy having shown himself more than capable of enduring otherwise crippling blows with little more than minor injuries to show for it.

I'm gonna say that if you use your second character slot for Goofy, you can decide where he is at. Just be aware, this will keep you from having a second character.


I'm perfectly willing to do that. Multiple characters aren't usually my forte anyway. What will that mean for Donald, however? It's unlikely Goofy could have gone anywhere without him...

YES! Definitely. All you need to do is find a reasonable story as to how she got out of the Realm of darkness. This could be done by your second character going there and saving her coincidentally or you could come up with story to have her out at the start of the RP.
