LordofthePies — Roleplayer Guild

Nori made herself comfortable at a nearby table and began "washing" the playing cards. She was careful not to get them in her sleeves. She was scared she wouldn't get a clear reading and doom an entire kingdom, but the prince would be waiting. There was no time for mistakes. She stopped shuffling, took a deep breath, and drew the top three. 

Nori chewed on her lip. She could tell the truth and most likely continue the war, or she could lie an make things appear better. The second option sounded good at first until she realized that if she lied and the events came true, she would be killed for going against the prince. Neither option looked good. Either the truth would continue war and the lie would get her killed. Norix took a deep, but shaky breath. She had decided on the truth. 

"The first card is a near future, the second a medium, and the last a far future. The two of spades, there will be bad luck in this future. Do not rely on others, you will only be let down. There will be opposition from friends and family. The five of diamonds, you will prosper, gain a long enduring friendship, have pride in your family, and success with children in this future. The eight of spades, this future will bring a sense of desperation and a need for money. In summary, you will gain from this agreement but bad luck, disappointment, a friend, a child, and monetary debt."

Name: 
   Fox Delta

Race/Faction: 
   Human
   Ouroboros
     Position - Heart

   26

Description: 
   Copper hair and pale skin, typical ginger. 
   Dirt brown eyes. 
   Short - 5'7" 


"Class": 
   Fire Mage

Motivation: 
   Fox is trying to make up for his family sins. He wants to clear their name, even if that means not being quite clean himself. He also wants to make a name for himself. 

History: 
   Fox's father has never been a good man. His father was abusive, a drunkard, but one Hell of a guard. That was the case anyway. Until his father was accused of murder and his name was dragged through the dirt. Throwing him in jail wasn't good enough, they had to make it so where ever his family went, they were looked down upon. Delta has spent his entire life since his father's jailing to make the family name shine again since his mother certainly wouldn't. His mother never did anything. She was a pushover, and Delta didn't want to be like her, nor did he want to be like his father. He wanted to not only clean up his family name, but he wants to make a name for himself. Fox would hate to always be known as "Gerald's Son." 

Strengths: 
   -Strategy & Puzzle Solving (Delta was raised on puzzles and strategy games and has gained a passion for them, which has never gone away.) 
   -Loyal
   -Resilient 
   -Speech 
   -Manipulation

Weakness: 
   -Paranoid (He doesn't trust anyone. Everyone is out to get him in some way or another, but he'll play along, for now.) 
   -Physically weak (He does not lift) 
   -Can't Catch (Do not throw anything to this man. He'll either dodge it or it'll hit him in the face.)
   -Manipulative   
   -Insane

What is the most important thing to know about your character?
   Delta is very good at talking, and manipulation comes at a bonus. He doesn't trust you, and it's not always the smartest to trust him. 

What is your character's greatest flaw?
   His paranoia. 

Why should your character be in a position to influence an entire country?
   Delta has pretty impressive speech skills, even though it might not look that way at first. He could definitely convince others to help or hurt each other. It's a very good skill to have, especially in a position of power, that way he can get what his people need or want. 

Writing Example: 
(Interaction) 
   Fox thought she looked pretty. No, more than pretty, she was beautiful. Beautiful in the sense that if she touched you, your skin would tingle. When she talked, your mind went numb. Fox thought for a moment he was in love, but then realized it was just a trick. She could easily be used against him if Delta let her. But those lips... 
Fox shook his head. He couldn't afford to be distracted, let alone by someone who could easily get him to spill his guts. He had things to do, places to be. 
But there was something about her. He couldn't look away. Her hazel eyes trapped him like a fly in honey. She was sweet, but deadly. Delta didn't want to drown in her. He had to say hello. 
Fox realized he had awkwardly been standing there as he admired Elizabeth. After he realized that, the world came back into focus. He could finally hear what she was saying. 

"Hey, are you alright?" 

"Better than that," Fox mumbled to himself before removing himself from the conversation. He would not get stuck in her honey trap, as tempting as it was. 

"Hey!" Elizabeth ran up to him and put a hand on his shoulder. Fox immediately froze. That did it. He was stuck. He never wanted her to let go. She turned Fox to face her. 

"You never answered my question." 

"What?" 

(Combat) 
   Fox knew exactly how he got into this situation. He shouldn't have said yes to Elizabeth, he should've known that she would get him in some sort of trouble. This wasn't the first time he had been charmed into a deadly situation, and by his guess, it wouldn't be the last. Delta hated that his will compared to clay after he was touched by a pretty girl. 
Delta stood at the top of a tour, exactly where Elizabeth had told him to wait. She said she needed him for something. Something that wasn't exactly the safest. She was right in that sense. Fox stood on the roof of a tower, being shot at by archers. He wouldn't call that a riskless job. 
An arrow whizzed past his head, close enough that Delta could hear it. He had wanted to be peaceful and let Elizabeth do her job. If he didn't kill someone, there would be fewer negative ramifications on his end. Alas, it was too late now. He had been fired upon. It was only fair he did the same. (6 Archers)
Delta conjured a fireball and threw it at the nearest discernible target. (Rolls dice. 14.) 
The fireball hit the wall next to the archer. The fire attached itself to the wall, burning furiously. That archer now couldn't see. That was good enough in Fox's book. 
He spotted another archer, this one farther away. He sent out a firebolt, a smaller and agiler version of the fireball, towards the archer. (Rolls dice. 3.) Fox didn't expect to hit, but he did think he could at least get it close. The firebolt went far left, missing completely. The fire he just threw couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. It was pathetic.
