Current You know that moment: after you settle in and relax, then you see a fire storm on the horizon and gear up because no one else is putting out the fire? Yeah

Oh! The trials and tribulations of "netcoding"! Hark to thee, oh errant programmer, mine burnout shall be thy fate aswell...

Bio

The Glorious Grim Guy

Veteran of RP shenanigans, purveyor of chicanery, and otherwise so bardically inclined.

In one hand a blessing, in the other woe. I'm a sucker for dark fantasy and other such grim tales. Though I have little patience for watered down, overly "safe" narratives and action. I wish to engage with subject matter more complex and tales more stimulating. With that out of the way, I am a clown. Often creating characters who are amusingly absurd, exsist as sinister parodies, or play with the more bizzare aspects of the setting.

May your days be full of mirth and substance.

Alias: Weald-Watcher/Watcher

Age: 43 (appears in 20's)

Species: Half-Elf (Wood)

Role: Ranger (Hunter)

Sexuality: Hetero

Pronouns: He/Him

Sex: Male

Face CLaim: N/A

Outfit:
He wears a tarnished steel and copper enamled half-plate covered by a well worn hunters collared longcoat, his legs are covered by leather dark roughskin pants and well-bound and and worn leather boots around his feet. The coat remains unbuttoned, the sleaves rolled up to the elbows, and rolled worn leather gloves worn over his vambaraces. is topped with a folded colar. Atop his head he wears a tarnished steel and copper salet and mask. The mask once held far more detail but has become far less elusterous, giving it a gaunt and hollow vissage.

Weapons of Choice:
The Watcher opts for a versatile battle-axe, the axe-head being of a spear point and hammer pattern. For ranged endevours he keeps a quartet of daggers around his belt.

Special Skills/Abilities:
-Abberant mockery: he can mimmic other creatures voices, albeit in an unnervingly flawed fashion.
-Blind Watch: blindsight/blind fighting, keen senses let him track his enemeis even when blinded, as long as they are in arms length.
-Love's Persistance: when otherwise rendered uncouncious or incapacitated in battle, devotion may allow him to strain his body and rise to his feet once more...
-You. Tonight.: Will aim to ambush his quarry, successfully or no, the watcher selects one target in particular to focus on...
-Dreadful Hands: as well as proficiency with simple and martial weapons he is a deadly unarmed combatant with skull rattling fists, spine crushing grapples, and ruthless throws.
-The Man, the Monster: a tower of muscle, fleet of foot, and deceptively sneaky. He is not exactly Mr. Charasima or Dr. Know-How at the best of times, but he can easilly intimidate a poor sod when need be.
-Ranger's Aid: some spells to heal wounds and buff self (cure wounds, longstrider, etc.).

Personality:
Snide, philisophical, and soft spoken. He has a tendancy to speak when he shouldn't and remain silent when he should speak. The man is driven and selfish, but anchored by a sense of duty. There is a sadism, and a softness under the cloak and metal... however hindered.

History:
Once he was a man-at-arms, but became burdoned by the soldiers life. He attemped to turn to a life of quiet farming instead. He settled down with a wife Hietta and expected a child. On one return trip from selling goods in the main city, he came back to his village to find cursed thistle and vines overtaking his home and his pregnant wife missing. He forsook his life, doned his old armour, and took up his battle-axe anew. Dead was the man. Born was the Watcher.


Fears:
High fey of the spring court and fire, in particular, being set on fire. Blue feathers.

Hobbies:
-A great violinist and vocalist.
-Cooking, he's damn good at it.
-Painting.

Extras:
-Back and torso has a feather pattern burnscar coiling around it.
-Right eye has a faint golden glow to it.

((Edit note: fixed a few typos, added a skill entry to up the creep factor and add to his "spoiler" background, added gloves to his physical description.))

@Aurkanthis Ranger squad! Ranger squad!
My character is most likely going to be a human bard, but yeah, I’ll get a character sheet out before the end of today


Fingered you for a fellow bard enjoyer. Well, I suppose just let people know when and where we will be doing this RP. Oh! And let us know where to put down character sheets (Dedicated part of the forum/something through other parts of the site/discord/etc.).
I was hoping it would be along the lines of dnd classes rather than so directly, given this is free form rather than based on mechanics. The setting seems very distictly elf/fae-centric... so I imagine races pertaining to that..?

Awesome. Anyone already know what they want to play?


For me, I'm thinking a hag-cursed, strength ranger. You know very strong, a little dexy, with some mild wisdom to boot. Jason Voorhees as a half-wood elf perhaps?
Thank you, thank you. Your are too kind. I do however have a few questions about this setting for the sake of actually roleplaying in it.


I don't want to derail your thread in case you want to find other people to RP. PM me if you want to continue this delightful train of thought.

Original settings can be one hell of an undertaking, especially if your not experienced with such things yet. I love them, but don't burn yourself out for the sake of novelty.

...that being said, do let me know if you have something neat you want to try. With that out of the way: hit me with a hook! Tempt me with whimsey and woe! Or just let me know which setting you want to play in...
I figured, Sangheili Spec-Ops for me it is then! Good to know the story beat ahead of time, I don't want to ruin the flow of the tale. Let me know when it's up, if you need any character info, and/or just want to bounce ideas off me.
DnD chat ey? More of a Rotgrind kind of fellow myself but if you don't mind a more... grim tone I would be down. Dark Sun? Toriel (I will not check my spelling)? Sword Coast? Or something original?
Oh Halo, I never could say no to you... Don't suppose I could play the equivelent of Unggoy Batman... Batgrunt? BATROMIOUSE THE SHADOW! Or is that a little too silly?

If it is I can just make Sangheili Spec-Ops, but I must know: how many people are you wanting with such a campaign (ie: squad or platoon kind of deal)? ANNNNND will this be slowburn kind of horror or something else?
Dragon Age, ay? Hopefully more origin than inquisition in tone, but I'd be down.
Ooh! Any excuse to play a blood drinking hoplite. I'm interested.
