@wheels depending on the context you can often get away with leaving the title for last. If you insist on a title while writing, a "working title" is a placeholder until you think of something better

Bio

Bios are stupid; oh, sure, everyone can see them, but I bet nobody reads them.

Rude hand gestures and shpadoinkle, there.

No, I wasn't drunk when I wrote this, but I was very tired.

Mk, well, more than 2 weeks without a word... Is this one dead, boss?
@RickyG85, that little shotput maneuver is going to be a POW draw. Your cards are:

The Emperor - Neutral - You break something
Temperance - Neutral - You are met with an equal and opposite reaction
Judgment - Negative - Your past mistakes catch up to you

I feel like one of these is probably most appropriate at the moment, but the choice is yours.


Uh, breaking something is my goal, so I guess I'll take The Emperor
@Courtaudam I ok to post, or do you want me to wait for a particular scene?
"Alright, let's kick this sand castle!" he called out over the comms.

Albert couldn't suppress the excitement in his tone, much as he tried. Daedalus felt lighter in battle, faster, as if their spirits were united in eagerness to hurt the Alliance.

They weren't delicate in their movement; it's not like they were burning everything indiscriminately, and this wasn't exactly a stealth mission. The trees will grow back.

He heard what almost sounded like rain drops on sheet metal, and shook his head as he chuckled to himself. "They always try the guns." A guard vehicle quickly came into view, visuals highlighting it in red, to distinguish it as a hostile. A glance toward the communications array. "heh, Momma don't like no tattle tales-" Daedalus plucked up the vehicle, raised the claw arm, and pitched the enemy vehicle at the main dish.
A strong wind, and a crash, and Allyn now see's the wings of a standing gargoyle!

All 4 of the gargoyles are standing in a circle, now staring at the crumpled remains of the ghoul that one of them had just crushed.

The 4 sentinels proceed to lay into the undead victim, pounding, ripping, and tearing. Bones crack and break, and the rending of half rotted flesh is audible. as if that wasn't enough, the sound of what is presumably blood and gore dropping on the grass rolls through the air like rain drops.

Suddenly, just as quickly as it began, the sound stopped...
Edit: posted!

And how is Allyn handling this? Does he watch? glance or peek at some point?
ok, added a CS, and I'll also remind applicants to read the whole original post, as it does include a description of the average appearance of Insecterrans. I'm debating using my (at best, mediocre) art skills to work up visual aids
Alright, having a quick re-read, and post incoming!

@Birdboy were we positioned and moving together?
Is this still open? I would love to be a fun little bug guy. How does this sound?

Name: Solen the Fool
Age: 17
height: 4'8"
Weight: 120 lbs

Personality: Solen is a timid boy, but he craves knowledge and thrives in chaos. He tends to prefer isolation purely because he is not an instigator and does not enjoy the average rigamarole of daily life. He isn't rude or stoic, and to most people, he is a rather pleasant, patient, and forgiving person. Solen tends to let people take advantage of him or use him for their benefit; he struggles with saying 'no'.

Solen is, however, brave in the face of true danger. Where others might be cowardly and flee, Solen is undeterred. He fights through his fear, and his good nature requires that he put himself at risk for others. Solen is also undeterred by the strange, peculiar, and unusual. He is a man of science and wizardry, and more than anything,g is a curious critter. So much so that he can sometimes overlook his safety for a chance at making a discovery. This has led to many problems in his apprenticeship, as his attempts at breaking new ground often result in fires, unintended hexes, and other such issues.

Bio: Solen knows very little about where he came from. Solen remembers tunnels and burrows, and thousands of people who looked just like him. He remembers a great hustle and a collapsed tunnel, then his memories do not pick up until he in an infirmary, being tended to by distressed nurses. He was a refugee, according to them, taken here with a crowd of many of his kind. There are still cracks in his exoskeleton that remind him of his injury, an injury that nearly took his life.

Without a home, without a family, Solen became another hungry refugee scouring for food. His luck would finally give him a break when a wise and powerful wizard took him in. This was none other than the illustrious Father Roach, a clerical master of Pollens who cured injuries and diseases in the name of righteousness... Or so Solen thought. Quickly, he realized the truth of Father Roach, that he is an extortionist. While talented in his craft, he charges a fortune for his skills and primarily aids the wealthy and elite. In truth, he had only taken Solen in to aid him in his work. Still, Father Roach occasionally gave Solen valuable lessons in magic. Lessons that did not fall on deaf ears. Solen became an insatiable learner, absorbing any new magical knowledge he could get his hands on. Father Roach still keeps him on a tight leash, always needing someone to tidy up and to heal the minor injuries for him, but Solen is prone to wandering and experimenting. For his many accidents in his attempts at learning on his own, and for his tendency to wander into places others dare not go, Solen had been given the title of 'fool' by his peers. They mock and jeer him, but Solen is determined to keep up his pursuit of knowledge!



lol I like the Orko vibe I get from the picture. Later tonight I'll give this a more thorough read.

It's been on the back burner for quite some time, but I could maybe give this another shot if I had 2-3 more players (at least one of whom willing to be the isekai'd)
Success!

Feel free to edit your post, because WAIT- where have the gargoyles gone!?
