Psychological Attributes

Loyal * Unforgiving * Determined * Hard to express his true feelings

Sexuality: Hetersexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: When you first set eyes upon Guthrie and exchange words, you will get the impression that this man lives and breathes for what he carries at his side; His blade. Guthrie is the type of man who is at his best when in a fight, either battling foes of his own nature or against whatever creatures that lurks in the darkness of the tunnels. In-fact, some might think that lacks emotion, simply staring down (or up) at you wondering whether to strike you down or to accept your coin for protection.
While that is true for Guthrie the “Blade”, Guthrie Jean Harlanson is far from emotionless once you get to know the man beneath all that armour, especially over a glass of mushroom brew. Some might say that his mood reflects his blade; when drawn, he is sharp and ready for blood. But while sheathed, he’s mostly harmless and comfortable to be around. He enjoys the company of trusted and loyal friends, laughs at their jokes and mourns in their own sorrows. The only thing he doesn’t is speak of his own sadness and troubles. Then the blade is drawn once again.

• Cracking his knuckles and other joints

Hobbies: Grinding his sword, training and sparring, and learning the geography of the underworld

Skills

A listing of skills, such as horseback riding, and natural abilities, such as night vision - this also includes any racial edges

• Navigation: Guthrie is proficient in remembering landmarks and such, in order to remember previously taken routs and where to travel to get somewhere quicker and/or safer.
• Tracking: “No, that’s not a normal spider mark. See the way the print leans slightly to the left? That means that it’s a deep-cave moss spider. Though normally harmless, they can be dangerous when met in numbers. Luckily it was alone and heading in that direction, so we’re safe.”
• First-aid: With the usual combat, Guthrie has also learned how to dress wounds and make sure they re-grow properly. It wasn’t always just as easy to find the nearest town to get himself patched up; sometimes he had to do it himself.
• Weapon & armour maintenance: Guthrie prefers to maintain his weapons and armour the best he can. It’s cheaper, and quite useful out in the field.
• Cooking: When outside of a settlement and in need of food, Guthrie is able to cook up something that doesn’t taste too horrible.
• Sword fighting: What is there to say? Guthrie had handled a blade for as long as he’s been an adult, and hasn’t died fighting yet.
• Leather working: His time working with his mother taught him the basics of how to work with leather. He’s able make not overly complicated pieces of leather-apparel, including his own leather armour.

History

Childhood: Guthrie was born into what you could call a normal poor man’s family on the outskirts of Bori. His father worked as a miner in the iron mines when they were still open back in the day, and his mother a seamstress sewing new and old clothes for the miners to keep the family fed. And it wasn’t long Guthrie followed his father down into the mines.
For a while working down in the mines was bearable enough for Guthrie, who still small and slender was perfect for those tight spots where the grown-ups couldn’t reach. And when he became too big to fit into those tight spots, he joined his father in digging deeper and deeper for that previous iron. His father must have been proud of his own son, growing into a strong and able man who could pay for his own needs.
And then the cave-in happened.
Guthrie was buried alive for two whole days before he was found, barely breathing after having his ribs cracked and lungs full of dust. His father had been lucky and was just at the entrance when it happened, but he feared that he had lost his only son. That fear grew to love once Guthrie was found, but also a determination that he should never set foot in the mines ever again. Which he never did, especially not when the mines were closed because of the Belizarius-Zalu dispute. Guthrie began to help his mothering sewing, while his father did his best to get work wherever he could, though neither of them really missed the mines.
Adulthood: As Guthrie turned 16, his father gifted him his old sword, whom his own father had handed down to him and his father’s father to his father. It wasn’t until he was 18 that he used it, working as a caravan guard travelling from Bori to Belizarius. And it was then that he learned something about himself; he could stand is ground in a battle, better than all the other guards. This was when he decided to learn how to wield his blade like a master. He continued his work as a guard, ranging from caravans to nobles in Belizarius. And though he never learned how to read or write, he was happy to earn his living and keep his family fed.
Special Moments: It was seven years ago that Guthrie received those words that would change his life; his parents were dead. Dropping everything at hand, including his client he was supposed to protect from a band of peasants, he rushed home to find that liar who told him such horrible tales. But it wasn’t lies; they were in-fact dead.
Guthrie never learned what really killed them and why they of all people, but he learned two things from his short stay; it sucked all the blood from its victims through their eyes, and -according to a rather drunk bum – it had eyes as red as fresh blood. It wasn’t a whole lot to go after, but Guthrie decided that from that day on, he would chase down whatever had murdered his parents and take revenge. And so he spent more time searching the tunnels, both mapped and unmapped, hoping to find that awful beast who had taken his only family from him. While he did find various creatures that he would learn to avoid, to slay or to befriend, such as his loyal canine companion Theo, he never found anything other than hints to the beast’s existence.
Until now.
Current Events: Now Guthrie stands at the outskirts of Shezze, a small and insignificant frontier-village. Word has it that something deadly had been spotted in the vicinity, and Guthrie will waste no time in his quest for revenge.

Endless Darkness [Open 1-2 spots]

@rivaanStill chipping away at that character sheet, just been difficult to actually do it without any internet. I've felt like a cave man xD But it shall be up today!

Task Force Zero: A Special Forces RP

And because I had no internett yesterday after I promised I'd post, I finally got my lazy ass to do it! Sorry folks!

Task Force Zero: A Special Forces RP

The journey from the aircraft carrier to the cruiser, to the zodiaks and finally up on the beach of the island went smoothly. But that only meant one thing for Viking, especially when they split up into their respective fireteams and went into the jungle; something very shitty would hit the fan sooner or later. But Viking kept his mouth shut, for him mentioning this to the others was both unlucky and redundant.

"Roger that, Merlin.". Viking had stopped dead in his tracks and fallen onto his stomach, just in time to realize what Merlin had been been so pissed about; two tangos, Indonesian mercs from the looks of it right in front of them. Luckily they didn't spot the group of highly-trained spec-ops that would shred them to pieces before they could say "Who goes there?", and soon they were on their merry way away from Fireteam Bravo. And behind them followed Viking and Joker.

It was safe to say that Viking hadn't expected to find a checkpoint in the middle of the jungle, without an actuall road to check the points of...or whatever checkpoint actually meant. While Joker radioed back Merlin, Viking tried to take a more thourough look at the checkpoint from where they were hiding. Apart from the two patrolmen, he could count two more tangos guarding the checkpoint, idly chatting with each other. They obviously didn't except either Joker or Viking to raise a little hell for them, if that was neccesary.

"Both my rifle and pistol are supressed, if you need to borrow one. Going in close also works. But why is there a checkpoint out here, I can't see any tracks of a car or truck, not even an APC or tank. Do you recon they're hiding something there?"

@Lady AmaltheaI wouldn't mind playing both of them at once, but would it perhaps work if he joined the story once the others leave for the dig-site? Have him follow them, or would that not fit the story?
