One, if not the only, thing that people will immediately notice is the armor set. Gil was gifted it by the elders before he was forced to leave Eerum. According to them, it once belonged to protectors of Khemrin before giving them up to join the Wardens. This one was placed inside of a cave by the Elders to safeguard it for the next generation. Sadly, it had been waiting for decades, and most of its original color was lost except for the blue. It was given a cleanup and new material shortly before Gil's exile. The helmet was inspired by desert birds that were once worshipped.

Gil had tribal paintings all over their body as a plead for the spirits to be watching over them. Loose clothing was essential to perform excellently in battle and to withstand the harsh heat of the Sychan.

Gil Totoun was born an orphan when his parents sacrificed parenthood for the life of a Warden. It wasn't ideal for children to be raised within the watchtowers and forts scattered throughout the Sychan Desert. But, life wasn't built to live beyond them. Throughout their youth, the Elders of Khemrin told their story to the other children. According to them, Khemrin remained undetected to the outside world for centuries. That was until Vassidia arrived with plans of their own for the natives. And soon enough, nearly all of the tribes within Eerum were successfully assimilated except for Khemrin.

That was when the killings began.

Because of their devotion towards life in Sychan, Khemrin revered specifically desert birds as sacred, and their worship included the modeling of armor and clothes and tribal paint to emulate the birds. Outsiders viewed them as savages and uncivilized as a result, which also started the murders. Men, women, and children had their lives taken, so the nearby settlement "had breathing room."

In a last-ditch effort, Khemrin's leaders fled further into the desert, believing nobody would dare follow them. That was until they encountered a wounded man. It turned out that he was a Warden that was attacked and left to die by the wildlife. The tribe decided to nurse him back to health and escort him back to civilization. However, the Warden needed to complete his exploration of Sychan. Given their knowledge of Sychan and its harsh conditions, the Khemrin hesitated but ultimately agreed to aid him with his mission. It took several months, but the tribe left enough of an impression with the Warden that an envoy sought them out.

The Wardens offered them protection and the chance to use their skills to protect their home. But only if they renounced Khemrin. It was the ultimate sacrifice, yet outsiders were getting closer as the years passed. The tribe survived the slaughter by letting their culture die instead. By doing so, they became the first generation of Wardens in the Sychan and soon expanded across the desert, protecting the people that once feared them. When the Elders finished the story of Khemrin, they found Gil to be the only child genuinely interested.

As the years went, Gil started to adopt customs from the Khemrin with help from the Elders. Of course, it angered the Wardens. They didn't do anything beyond the usual punishments that teenagers got. That was until Gil found himself to be exiled for his homeland. With only a bag of coin and bread, they made the most of it and tried to live life in the place that he despised the most. Then, they heard rumors of an unusual illness that turned the ill into stone spreading at an alarming rate. It got bad enough that the High Lord sought out anyone capable of finding the cure.

Gil understood that such illness could spread beyond its borders and into Eerum, infecting their friends and loved ones. So, they signed up and revealed themselves to the High Lord.

Gil doesn't care what happens to Vassidia and its people, but they aren't stupid either. Sooner or later, the Stone Blight will reach Eerum and infect everything it touches. That was why they answered the call. Even if their friends and loved ones hate them, Gil will do whatever to protect the Khemrin for a painful end.

//SKILLS AND ABILITIES:
◼ Khemrini Warden | As a Warden, Gil developed their swordplay and shield stances over the years with patience and practice. Also, they were heavily taught about the core values of the Wardens from impartiality to solitary. In addition, the Elders incorporated Khemrini knowledge in secret, which included how to handle a bow and spear. And, more importantly, how to blend with their surroundings no matter their location. With these lessons in hand, Gil was prepared for almost anything shown to them.

◼ Naturalist | Being a Warden meant training in naturalism, which meant someone that examines nature. But living in the Sychan Desert made the profession a requirement from all Wardens. Furthermore, the elders also taught Gil forgotten knowledge of the wildlife from the tribe. It wasn't entirely useless beyond Eerum, but the lessons taught them to operate in desert and warmer climates.

◼ Perception | As a former Warden, Gil was already perceptive compared to everyone else. It wasn't improved until they were forced to live in Vassidia. Being mindful of their surroundings and the types of individuals in the area was necessary for them since he was an outsider. It was key to surviving at this stage of their life.

//FEARS AND WEAKNESSES:
◼ Failure | Out of all the fears, there was one that got to Gil the most: failure. Failure to his tribe, friends, and himself. He would rather die than fail again.

◼ Obtruder | Besides being a foreigner in Vassidia, Gil was utterly different to everyone else. There were moments where people were clearly disgusted or distraught whenever they went out. Other moments involved being mistaken as a hybrid creature (which happened often) and openly insulted because he was from Eerum. As a result, Gil kept to themselves and only came out during the night to get the basics.

◼ Awkward | As a result, Gil became awkward around people due to a lack of social skills. And the fact that people avoided them because of their appearance. It made them anxious to be around folks since Gil couldn't anticipate their response to see someone wearing a helmet shaped like a bird. It also didn't help that they never took it off because it would have violated his beliefs and values from the Khemrin.

//PARAPHERNALIA
◼ Cooking | Out of everything that someone like Gil was talented at, nobody expected cooking to be one of them. If someone were to give them basic ingredients, they could turn it into a masterpiece worth taking time to eat. It was something that naturally came to them without any outside help other than advice here and there.


Jaden Knapp
18 - Gemini - Senior - 5'6" - Cole Sprouse



“It feels like we all are in a hellish nightmare... but the bloodstain in my jacket tells me otherwise.”



Appearance Details

Jaden's green eyes caught most people's attention compared to the rest of his appearance (besides the jacket). Thankfully, everything else was average including the blonde hair. As for their lack of workout routine, it wasn't ideal but it was enough to pass physical ed. Regarding their attire, Jaden spent the cold winter months wearing long sleeves, jeans, and boots. And to complete the outfit, the iconic green jacket that they took from their mother years ago instead of buying one. Now, there was a bloodstain on it from the incident in the gym.
Characterization

Their life consisted of moving state to state due to the lack of stability in the family. A messy divorce and sudden unemployment caused their mother to take her only child and move to the nearest state. It was the reason why Jaden didn't interact with other classmates as often as a child should. However, Michigan was different compared to the other states. Their mother found love with her current boyfriend, a military contractor, and a stable job for the first time in years. Jaden was still cautious about making friends during middle school. Yet as weeks became months, they opened themselves up to fellow classmates.

In high school, Jaden fell in love with the Writers Ink Club at the start of the ninth grade. Writing was one of their favorite hobbies to do. But they didn't share their works with other members. They were secretive about it but offered help to other classmates struggling with their essays. It was quite easy to make them feel sympathetic toward others. That was one of Jaden's weaknesses besides grappling with their own sexuality.

They joined the GSA club in eleventh grade to find answers and feel accepted. Of course, there was still some self-hate and depression. But it was slowly being clipped away. Until the world came crashing down.
Inventory

- A smartphone with a wallet case holding their identification card.

- A keychain for their apartment and SUV.

ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
1.01 // AWAKENED


Roshanna felt water droplets hitting against her face as she struggled to open her eyes. The concrete floor dug into her back as her head was still ringing. And there was a cold breeze that felt relieved. Then, she remembered everything: Angel's Hand, the strangers, and that awful gas. Roshanna's eyes opened wide with fear as she tried to look around the poorly lit room. She noticed a double door and immediately ran towards it. However, it was lock despite her attempts to force it open. The noise awakened someone else.

"What.. who is making that sound?" the voice tiredly asked.

Roshanna turned and barely recognized the woman from earlier. She gave up on the door and went towards her. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I think... Where are we?"

"I don't know." Roshanna offered her hand to the stranger. "But, we aren't staying any longer. I'm Roshanna, by the way."

"Holly." Holly grabbed the hand and got up with no problems. She looked around the room and saw two other people on the ground. "We need to wake them up. Then, we can try to leave."

Holly made her way over towards one of the strangers without hesitation: the man wearing a vest covered in patches. For a young age, her father taught her the importance of helping out. It made sense, given that he used to frequent church often. And sometimes, Holly came along to help out the homeless or distributed food to struggling families. She missed those moments with her father more than ever. So, Holly made her way to the man wearing a vest with... interesting patches while Roshanna went to the other man.

Lonnie felt someone trying to wake him up, but his head was still ringing. He went to stand up and found it to be difficult. But, sitting up didn't cause too much pain. Meanwhile, the woman backed away to give him some space before introducing herself. "Hello, I'm Holly. I was at Angel's Hand earlier before we ended up here."

"Lonnie." Lonnie waved and then tried to stand up again, but his headaches caused enough pain that it was a struggle. He turned towards Holly and extended his hand towards her. "Could you help me up?"

"Yeah, I got you." Holly smiled at Lonnie and went to help him up. But when she grabbed his hand, the world around her began to collapse in itself. There were flashes of random images: a woman standing over a kid, the police surrounding him, a man and another woman with the kid, and some men in suits. It felt surreal. Then, she was back in the real world. Lonnie was deeply disturbed and disgusted while processing the mindfuckery that just occurred. He looked up at Holly clearly upset and troubled.

"You... you were in my mind! How?!"

"I-I don't know?!" Holly looked at her own hands while they were glowing a mixture of red and gold. She didn't know how to react. Roshanna looked at her with fear while Miguel was amazed. And then suddenly, the sound of the door opening echoed across the room. Everyone turned their attention towards the source and were surprised to see it was a woman in a wheelchair approaching them. She had on a mask with a box on her lap, which was partially opened. Then, she reached into the box and pulled a bag of fruit snacks.

"Fruit snack?"


I kind of want to know how Discord RPing works. Isn't there like a post limit? So, would it be similar to Habbo Hotel roleplay rooms (one-lines and/or one-sentences)?
I disagree that AC has been ruined. I liked Origins and Odyssey despite their issues. And Valhalla looks like it's going to be like the last two games with updates and changes. Also, nice avatar @dhawan (wrench rules).

By the way, I finished Ghost of Tsushima and plat it. I loved the story and the combat and everything else. What a game to mark the end of the PS4. Sucker Punch did a great job. Now, let's hope they are working on another Infamous game or even Sly Cooper.
