Wrath of Darkness

Cool. I'll get a post up tonight. And Callum into the char tab.

Sorry!

Wrath of Darkness

@Deos Morran I just realized that I totally skipped over the "skills" section. Whoops. Will fix.

Wrath of Darkness

@Deos Morran Forgot to mention you with the character sheet. Whoops.

Wrath of Darkness

Hider

Name: Callum Webley III

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Role: Anselmo Guardian / Educational Society and Center of Advancement

Skills:

Equipment:
-Auberon Mk. 3 Battle Rifle: Burst-firing battle rifle that excels at medium range. Trades the accuracy of longer-range rifles and the firerate of its medium range cousins for manageable recoil and solid per-shot-stopping-power.
-Archimedes Personal Defense Sidearm: Designed for civilian use inside the walls, the Archimedes is a favorite of scientists in the field due to its mobility and ease-of-use. It can fire both standard pistol rounds, as well as shotgun shells, though its clipsize suffers a bit, only able to fire five rounds before a reload is required.
-Electrician’s Knife: This knife is designed to be able to cut through wires and the such without electrocuting the wielder.

Appearance:

Background: Callum was born in the Civil District and was the third of five children. His father was the Director of Family Affairs, serving directly under the Civil Commander. His mother was a renowned architect and engineer. He was taught, from a young age, about his family’s illustrious history. The first official Civil Commander had been a Webley, and since then, there had never not been a Webley in some high Civil or Military office.

Callum developed a measure of humility rather quickly. He wasn’t as smart as his older brother, or as strong and fast as his older sister. His marks in school were average, as was his physical prowess. Though he expressed interest in becoming an Anselmo Ranger, like his sister, it seemed unlikely he would achieve much distinction in the field.

When Callum was fifteen, and his sister nineteen, she was killed on an expedition outside the wall. Afterward, his parents became more interested in the safety of their children than whatever prestie they might bring to the family. His father outright forbade him to become a ranger. He was angry, but was soon distracted by a keen interest in Old World Technology. He took to it naturally, and at seventeen, he started studying it professionally.

There was four dull years of classes and internships before he finally received field study certification. As soon as he did, however, he was offered the chance to transfer into the Guardians. He did so as soon as possible, much to his father’s discontent.

He served there for a few months before he heard about the expedition. He signed up as soon as he was able and received approval, tagging along as an old world technology researcher, and representing both the Educational and Guardian Divisions.

Other: Though Callum has seen monsters while guarding the wall and on brief patrols, he’s yet to personally engage with one.

Wish: Callum wants to see what’s beyond the walls, and on more than just cursory patrols. He wants to see what’s over the next hill, and the hill after that, and the hill after that...

Trauma: There was something about a funeral when there were no remains to bury that gets everyone teary eyed. He still dreams about his sister’s ‘burial,’ sometimes.

Sorry it's a bit messy. I just wanted to pump this out with the quickness.

Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

Oops. I meant to declare that I wanted to play one of each role, but it looks like I was too late. I was finishing up this sheet as I was reading the whole "restricting Drakken applications" announcement.

It's my own damn fault for not really, properly, saying anything before I started the sheet. I totally get it. If there's too many drakken, there's too many drakken, and I don't need to run one. I just had the sheet done and figure it was worth a shot.

Kaivor

{Kaivor Igvrius}

(props to the OG artist, for this. Also, ignore that tail)

Race:
Drakkan
Age:
203
Element(s):
Water and Earth
Height:
6’ 11”

Bio:
The Igvrius family is an old one, but the name had no real weight until Kaivor’s father and grandfather performed outstandingly well in the war with the Anathos. His grandfather didn’t live to see the end of the war, but his father was still young-ish and was able to reap the benefits of their service. Wealth, and power, but certainly not health. Kaivor’s father suffered from a persistent respiratory issue all his life, as well as issues with fertility. He had several Gemmenite wives, and he only managed to produce three children near the end of his life. The eldest of these was Kaivor.

As he grew up, his dying father spoke to him about the Drakka of his childhood, when there’d been no king. He was trained from an early age in the ways of combat, but has seen little in the way of actual fighting. He started to take after his father’s ideals, that Drakkan should never be a unified land, and that the only worthwhile opponents left were other Drakken.

His father died when Kaivor was fifty. The Drakkan was sickly, and old, but he stumbled outside and forced one of his servants to duel him. The servant was untrained, but he still easily bested and killed the dying Igvrius. Kaivor made sure news got around that his father wasn’t, in fact, ill or frail, but that he died in a fair duel.

As Kaivor grew, so too did his beliefs. He decided that the concept of a king was inherently un-Drakken. Drakken were meant to fight, and the Gemmenites were far from worthy opponents. Until a real foe came about, a foe like the Anathos, Drakken were meant to fight amongst each other. He disliked the idea of the Gemmenite bride offerings, simply because it was orchestrated by the forces that united Drakka. Granted, it wasn’t as though he could come up with a better solution, much as he’s tried. He finds the idea of a new, Gemmenite, slave race to be more palatable than the current arrangement, but would never openly support an idea put forth by a prince.

Now, he’s ready to take a wife and has been offered the chance to do so. He was against the idea, at first, but it was his brothers who convinced him that an Igvrius heir was necessary.

Other:
-Kaivor fights with a pair of handaxes.
-Kaivor’s brothers are twenty-four and nineteen years younger than him, respectively.

Adult Content Preference: I am capable of writing this shit out, but I'm a little more familiar with fading to black.

Available or not, I'll have a Gem up tonight or tomorrow, for sure. Again, sorry!

(Bio is a little rougher than I liked. May have rushed hardcore to get this out before there were even more Drakken. I'll sand and polish this.)

Chronicles of Sarastrea

Andromeda and Aileen

---

"Finally!" Aileen said, immediately sitting up ramrod-straight. "A woman after my own heart. What woudl you like to hear about fir-" She stopped, narrowing her eyes. "Hold on a second." She leaned back, away from the visitor. There was something about her. Something familiar. "Oh! It's Andromeda, right?" She held out a hand, as if to shake. "We went to school together."

Andro smiled and took her hand "I thought i might have recognized you, iIm terribly sorry though I can't seem to remember your name" she blushed a little. "I wasn't the most extroverted at school, so i didn't get to know as many people as i should have"

"Oh, uh, I'm Aileen." She smiled, letting go of Andro's hand and leafing around her booth for a pamphlet. Of course, they were right where she'd left them. She pulled one out and handed it to her. Pamphlets were supposed to be enticing to look at, concise, and informative. Aileen's pamphlets were only one of those things. She'd tried her hardest, but they ended up looking more tiny textbooks than a proper handout. "It's, er, not exactly light reading." She smiled, sheepishly, and scratched the back of her neck. "Oops."

"Aileen, that's a pretty name, I'll remember it" Andro said, then watched as the woman searched around for a minute before pulling out a thick pamphlet. she flipped it open and laughed at her comment about light reading "Oh don't worry, i'm not one for light reading anyway, i'm sure it's exceptionally informative, Thank you!" she flipped through it, scanning the pages insteda of actually reading it. "Oh this seems quite interesting! If you don't mind my asking, Aileen, how long have you been doing this? Herbology?"

"Oh, for a while." She counted on her fingers. "Nine, almost ten years? Yeah, nine years. My parents were doctors, and I wanted to do the whole healing thing, but, well, I also liked plants." She smiled. "Anyway, I think herbology has less practical use in big cities like this, but in the countryside, or anywhere without hospitals and pharmacies every other street, it's more useful." She started talking faster, clearly excited by the subject matter. "I mean, for one, in most places out of the cities, you can find a lot of common medicinal herbs just around. Not to mention, if you teach a paitient to identify the plants they need for long term treatment, they can forage themselves and it's typically much more affordable than a perscription." She paused. "Er, not that modern medicine doesn't have its place. There's a reason herbology is considered an outdated art by many doctors, but that's where herbology crosses over with alchemy." She stopped, realizing she'd gotten carried away. "Of course, that's a whole other topic, because alchemy as a discipline is a great deal broader than just medicine."

"Oh I bet, I've always thought things like these were interesting but as I said, i've never really had the chance to learn about them, i've only ever read about them" she said "That must have been exciting having doctors for parents, my parents were the exact opposite of interesting, if the exact opposite of interesting was traumatizing" she shook her head and smiled again "Anyway, i've always lived in cities so i've always had the benefit of modern medicine but you never know, things have gone wrong before, knowledge of herbology would be a good thing to have, especially since my... physical condition forces me to lead a slightly reclusive life"
Andro glanced around, she knew she should probably move on, but she had no where to go and Aileen seemed interesting enough. "If I may ask, where have you been since school?"

"Oh, here and there." She made a mental list and recited it. "Most everywhere in the Eastern Hemisphere. Spent a while in Eoslai, and a little bit of time in the Freelands, but, well, there's few enough plants in the Sarolai, and fewer usable herbs. I was in Oasari, and I've been here in Kora for the last year or so." She paused, then perked up, as though remembering something. "Oh, wait, do you remember Edric D'Karst? Tall-ish, weirdly punchable face, talked to a necklace? He traveled around with me for a year or so, but last I heard he was headed to Oasari to go, uh-" She stopped, not sure if she should mention Edric's condition. He'd never really been secretive about it, but it didn't seem like her place to say. "-soulsearching or something."

Andro blushed a little at the mention of Edric "Yes, I remember Edric" she went to run a hand through her snakes and pushed the hood back in the process. she heard a couple gasps of surprise. Gorgons were few and far between. she frowned a little but ignore the sounds "Good for him, I've considered going on that sort of trip myself but i'm woefully unprepared for something like that" she heard some whispering break out nearby and pulled her hood back up. "Did you like traveling? I traveled some when I was a child, I liked seeing new places"

"Oh, yeah I love-" She was interupped by the sound of someone clearing their throat. She stopped, and leaned over to see what was quite possibly the most tired, haggard, pissed-off intern she'd ever seen.

"Yeah, I need one of you pamphlets." He said, only very thinly masking his contempt. More like than not, some bigwig doctor was having run back and forth. She might have felt sorry for him, if he wasn't such a dick about it. "Like, uh, now." Aileen sighed, looking at Andro.

"We can talk later, yeah? Do you have my number?"

"Fucking hell." The intern muttered, quietly but audibly.

Andro was used to being snubbed but she really didn't like it so she would have glared at the intern if the man could have seen it "No, I don't but, if you write it down for me really quickly, I can get out of your way" she held out the pamphlet to her with a smile, deciding not to move even though the intern was standing right behind her. "It was really nice talking to you and i'll give this proper read as soon as I get the chance"

Aileen wrote down her number, her writing hasty and almost embarrassingly poor. She smiled, nodded, and then turned to the intern.

"So, you said you wanted a pamphlet?"

Andro waved at Aileen and stepped out of the way, deciding now might be a good time for some food, she'd been walking for quite a while at this point. "I'll text you later!" She called to the woman with a smile as she headed out towards the shops near the expo to get something to eat.
