About Me








Name: Ben
Username: The one and only. Dare I say?
Age: 30
Ethnicity: Mixed
Sex: Male
Religion: Christian (Nondenominational)
Languages: English, Japanese (Semi-fluent & learning), I also know some Scots Gaelic, Quenyan (Elvish), and Miccosukee (My tribal tongue)
Relationship Status: Single (Though generally unavailable unless I find I really enjoy someone).






Current Projects/Freelance work

  • I am a voice talent and script writer for Faerun History
  • I have a much smaller personal Youtube channel that I use to make videos on various subjects. Only been making videos for 2 years, but it's growing!
  • I'm the host of a Science Fiction & Fantasy Podcast where I interview authors of the genre.




Interests (Includes but is not limited to)

  • Writing/Reading (Love writing and I own too many books)
  • Video Games (Been a gamer for close to 23 years now)
  • Working Out/Martial Arts (Wing Chun/Oyama Karate mostly. Some historical swordplay as well.)
  • History (Military History is my specialty)
  • Zoology
  • Art (Mostly Illustrations. Used to be good. Am picking it back up)
  • Voice Acting/Singing
  • Tabletop Gaming (Started late in the game. Been at it for 3 years. I was the kid who bought the monster manuals and D&D books just for the lore for the longest time. I've played 3.5e, 5e, Star Wars D20, Edge of the Empire, PF, and PF2.)
  • Weaponry of all kinds
  • Anime (mostly action/shonen. DBZ & YYH being my favorites)
  • Movies (Action/War/Drama films being my go-to)
  • Music (Rock of all kinds, as well as historical folk songs, sea shanties, pub songs, a bit of classical music, etc)
  • Guitar (am learning to play, but being left handed makes it challenging)
  • There's more but if you care enough you can PM me :P




Roleplay F.A.Q.

  • Fantasy, Sci Fi, and Historical are my genres. Fantasy being my favorite and Sci Fi/Historical being close seconds.
  • Advanced / Nation / 1x1 / Casual (only in certain circumstances)
  • I generally write at the 'Advanced Level' meaning 4+ Paragraphs with good grammar.
  • I am usually busy with many projects and RPs, but if you wish to do a 1x1 with me, you'll need to present your case. Those I already do it with have my trust as a Roleplayer.
  • I love many, many fictional universes so me trying to list them all is an effort in futility!

Name: Galen Forthwith
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Nationality: Charta
Class: Swordsman/Duelist

Physical Description: A lean, fit, but refined man with dark hair and eyes, with a navy blue tunic over chainmail (covering leather) and loose fitting dark brown trousers. He has a fair face, albeit with a scar at the left of his chin and running down his jawline. His hair is wavy, loose and tousled. Not entirely groomed as he was raised, he still looks more or less presentable, and perhaps charming when he feels the need to present himself as such. He has the look of a youth that has been refined like silver through various trials by fire.

Fighting Style: Galen fights with a sword in a deft and dextrous dueling style. His sword whips to and fro, cutting and stabbing with a swift, practiced hand. Despite this, he's no stranger to powerful blows and brutality in his style. He wouldn't have gotten to his post without bloodying his hands with a few bludgeoning instruments and less elegant sword strokes. Sword fighting is a brutal affair, no matter how poised and quick your blade is.

However, he has quite the use for his mixture of brutal and elegant. He can pick complicated locks with one hand, while punching a man with his other hand, cracking his knuckles and barely grunting. His hands are callused and rough, useable for climbing ropes and buildings with his fine upper body strength. He has good reflexes, and can deftly move with his feet as well as his hands. His careers have been varied, from thief, to slave, to murderer, to duelist, and then pirate.

Personality/Mental: He has a good mind about him when it comes to common sense, though he can be a bit rash if he lets his anger get the better of him. Generally he has a friendly, if wary demeanor. He will sometimes spout wisdom he has learned on his travels. He's a steadfast Quartermaster, and takes his responsibilities very seriously. He'll not be afraid to use his high position in the crew to keep others in line if need be. He's often casual however, and has a love of women. What he truly wants out of life is to become an ever better swordsman, and a Knight with his own lands and title.

History: Born as the son of a nobleman in Meira, Galen grew up a relatively privileged life. Until he was twelve years old, he had received training in the art of the sword, as well as learning to read and write. The studying would have continued if his father had not been assassinated nearing his thirteenth birthday. It was something that would scar him for many years to come, and caused him to flee from his home.

He wouldn't have survived for long on his own. Ironically, what saved him was being captured for slave labor, transporting him to Ramsetta and making him a laborer and builder. The work was tough and near back breaking, and it wasn't until he was 16 years old when he killed the slave watcher and escaped to Charta City. He used the watcher's sword as a dueling sword, using his old childhood teachings and honing them by fighting for money until he was 20 years old, having lived off dueling and thieving.

He met a pirate named Grant who was a Quartermaster, selling the wares of his broken ship. He showed Galen how he made a living, and both of them traveled to the Free Isle, and Galen became a sailor and an armsmen for the next three years before he made it to quartermaster amid a pirate ship, until it sank in a storm months ago. He had been awaiting a new career until he heard of this new job.

@Dervish
@IcePezzIf you could post sometime soon that'd be SWEET.

Roze and Cold are working on a collab, and Mort and I are working on a collab.
@Tangletail@Fetzen@Jollan@rush99999

Ok peeps, @MiddleEarthRoze and @BCTheEntity have let me know they'll try to get posts in when they can, but they'll be busy for a bit. As for me, I am moving this week. This Saturday is the day I move most everything, but of course I gotta box shit up. And then Sunday is mother's day, so I'll be mostly busy then too. So next week is the week I post most likely.

ANYWAY, after we finish with the priestly stuff, there'll be some character building with a party that night. After that, we'll get right into the dirty of the job and skip a few days. I highly recommend you do whatever quests/requests/jobs you wanna do before then, because depending on how it goes, you might be dead, the party could be split, we could continue with city politics (bc peeps are looking at our guild for stuff) or we could do something else entirely. So just keep in mind, folks.
@BCTheEntity@Sypherkhode822@Banana@Fetzen@The Fated Fallen
Ok folks, BC is going to be off for a bit, and I am moving this week. So get your posts in on time, but I'll need to reply next week. I move Saturday and mother's day is Sunday, so just keep that in mind.
As she asked, he had reached into his pack and began unraveling the coiled cloth around the foodstuffs. The Elf laid it carefully between them, his crossed legs and lower body stationary as he reached, before bending down to reveal the treats. There were various wrapped snacks, including what looked like beef jerky and cheese, as well as dried fruits and nuts in smaller pouches for on the go snacks. There were two whole apples as well, and the three loafs of bread looked soft.

Normally, he would remain with just the fruits and nuts. He would only ever eat meat if it was from an animal that had lived a full life and was ready to return to nature. But as it was, he knew there was a long journey ahead and it would be best to have as much energy as he could, so he grabbed a bit of cheese and jerky and ate them together between a cut loaf of bread. His face looked stuffed like a chipmunk as he ate, his eyes closed as he savored the food and filled his belly.

"Quite good," he said to Rayadell happily, satisfied with his last bit of food. He washed it down with some water from his waterskin, and then he hopped up and stretched. He wasn't showing off, but his stretching was quite acrobatic in some ways, stretching his arms normally, before flipping and landing to stretch his legs. "Would you like to ride Brogach again, or shall we walk this morning?" He asked her when he landed, heading over and giving her a smile.
