Pizza is a main course, but is also a pie. Therefore, I can eat pizza as my meal and have another pizza as my dessert.

When I need a left sock, there is none. When I don't need one, there is a surplus. I think the world is toying with me.

Sunny days are meant to be spent in a dark room surfing the net and watching series in netflix.

Bio
I am Searat
Half sea, Half rat, All Aqueous Rodent.
My role playing career is something i consider as a hobby of some sort but as to how long i have been role playing, I would say that i have three to four years under my belt. (Though most of the times I was role playing, they were nothing as serious as this and were more of a means to relieve stress with my friends or test out ideas that came to mind with them.)
As for my preferences to genres of role play, I would have no biases nor specific preferences to any genre and would be able to adapt to the genre as best I can when placed into it.
Some of my hobbies consist of: playing games, surfing the web, walking, bowling, darts, and cooking. I sometimes write and draw things but not as much to consider it to be a serious hobby.

Richard finished the second part of his 'breakfast' just before they arrived in the director's office. Tossing away the plastic wrappers to a nearby trash bin, he then attempts to wipe away any crumbs from his mouth and facial hair. Upon entering the office room, the director went straight to the point and began assigning the new cases to them. He gives the director a firm salute and takes the file from the desk. He would have greeted the director, but he was a no nonsense kind of person, such trivial things like greetings would only prolong what is necessary to be spoken. "Guess we're partners for this mission, Argus." He pauses slightly to look over the case file. "You think we're dealing with a necromancer? Or you think its more of a mana surge or, God forbid, a bio-hazard type of thing?" He asks his partner while handing him the case file, in case he wanted to look at further details.
@KatherinWinter
"Understood director. Agent Green and I will do our fullest to locate and, if needed, apprehend the shape shifter." She sees Richard salute the director and mimics the gesture accompanied with her 'smile'. Lowering her arm, but keeping the smile, she looks over to Griffin. "What manner of approach would you suggest in our investigation, Griffin?" The golem had programs and scrying spells but if the vampire agent had any approach he would prefer, she could adjust her method of investigation.

Roy's attention moved from the paladin to the door that produced the loud creaking sounds that reverberated throughout the relatively quiet room. His eyes widened as he saw the diminutive humanoid form that stood still in shock before him and the rest of the party. If Roy didn't know any better, he would have assumed that this was an illusion or trick. Though his doubts were cast aside as the small creature fell to the ground with an audible thump. Slack jawed and wide eyed, the kobold attempted to return from whence it had came but to no avail as the door had closed behind it. Roy dared not draw his weapon in this hallowed place, yet opted to lay a hand atop his sheathed rapier.
He was no stranger to Kobolds; cowardly and weak, but far from foolish. The lone one that stood before them could be only one of what could be dozens of them lurking in the shadows. Narrowing his eyes on the lone kobold, he roared to the creature. "Drop your weapons and lay on the ground, kobold! Any unwise decisions and we will make it your last!"

Emil did not have to be in the front of the group to understand that the Khalia and the paladin before her did not meet eye to eye. He knew little what they talked about over the channel and simply kept an eye and ear out to the tell tale signs of an attack. May it be from the beasts and monstrosities that dwelt within this corpse of a city or from the new arrivals. Though rather than escalate further, they opted to head towards their base of operations in the necropolis. Not a moment too soon, the rain had gotten worse and he was unsure if the improvised cover that he held above him could protect him from the rains any longer.
The trip was surprisingly uneventful. No feral ghouls, mutants, nor any manner of abomination dared to ambush the party. The young man couldn't help but keep his guard up and observed the minute details in his surroundings and actively listened for the sounds of footfalls in rain. His eyes kept moving from one ruin to another as the colossal structures of buildings had provided one too many places where death could hide and leap out on a moments notice. Though, mercifully, they arrived to their destination. To the outsider's perspective, the bank that the brotherhood called their base was severely underwhelming. Though in Emil's eyes, the prospect of respite that the bank offered gleamed like gold.
The group had to pass through decontamination procedures to avoid the radiation from killing them while they slept. The manner they were decontaminated was quick but thorough. Though what impressed him the most was the fact that the bank had electricity as well as a number of functioning and comfortable amenities. Upon the group reaching, on what he could assume to be, their sleeping area Emil began removing components and pieces of the radiation suit off his person. He was rather glad that he was finally out of the stuffy suit, but that was his fault. It was a rather unwise decision for him to wear it over his armor but now after hours of walking around uncomfortably, he realized that keeping the armor pieces outside was a far more efficient and comfortable means of donning his armor. Setting his pack, radiation suit , Geiger counter, and the desk box aside a bunk bed; he sat down on the floor beside his things, pulled out his tool roll and began maintaining and cleaning his weapon. It didn't need any maintenance nor cleaning, but the act itself was something that put his mind at ease.
It was then a young man, no older than he was introduced himself to the group. Even so amicable to the point that he had offered them a meal. A slight smile adorns his face as Finn seemed to be rather on the friendlier side of the spectrum. Not wanting to be rude to the knight, he carefully sets his weapon and tools down beside his things and introduces himself to Finn. "Pleasure to meet you, Finn. I'm Emil Sauer." He offers the knight a curt but polite bow.
He then heard their ghoul sniper make a joke or two regarding the situation. "Exciting is an understatement." Emil finishes with a slight chuckle. Finally noticing that something out of place in the room, a man wearing a...dress? His brow furrowed and he saw Monika purposefully bump into the man in the dress and gave him the most venomous death glare he had ever witnessed. Not even the marks he took time killing had given him a death glare so harshly. He turns back to face Finn and excuses himself and heads over to talk to Monika who situated herself to lean against a wall near her things. "One helluva day, huh? " He tries to joke like Marvin did, seeing as she was upset. "How you holding up?" He asks her with genuine concern.

OPTIONS (* Indicates Suitability):
*(Adult) Dire Rat - Dire Rats are quite large and strong for rodents, with sharp senses. They are predator scavengers, and because their teeth constantly grow they forage and gnaw constantly. Their forepaws are somewhat capable of gripping and manipulating, but they aren’t very skilled. Rats often hunt in packs, composed of family units, but the mothers will often drive off the fathers as they will behave aggressively towards the young.
- Slight Increase to all Base Stats
- Increase HP
- Increase Potential
*(Immature) Giant Rat - Giant Rats are rodents of such unusually large size, many people don't believe they exist. Their behaviors are virtually the same as the Dire Rat, but they often shed many of the usual "prey" animal behaviors of rats due to their much greater size and strength rendering them difficult for predators to bring down. As a result they can often be quite calm, and some humans even keep them as pets.
- Increase to base defense-stats
- Increase HP
- Increase Beast Sense (reduced)
**(Immature) Rat-Man - Through some magical quirk of evolution, these rodents have gained primate features. Roughly the same size as Goblins, though tending towards much thinner and more agile bodies and often still running on all fours, Rat-Men are capable of using tools and weapons. They often gather into large hordes, and seek hidden places near other groups of creatures--such as humans--in order to steal food and valuables from them. Their sharp senses of smell and dextrous fingers make them proficient crafters and alchemists, though they also show addictive tendencies with their own products.
- Increase to base power-stats.
- Increase to Use Light Equipment (reduced)
- Increase Beast Sense (reduced)
(Immature) Mongrel - It is hard to define this creature as a rodent, a feline, or a canine, though it possesses traits of all three. Some speculate it is some kind of primitive, common ancestor to many carnivorous monsters today such as the Dire Wolf, but that raises the question of how it continues to exist? As a Beast-type monster in the truest sense, it has low levels of intelligence and is so aggressive it can barely form mating pairs with its own species. However, its strong jaws and claws are not to be underestimated, and it is much faster than it appears.
- Increase to power-stats
- Increase to speed-stats
- Increase Beast Sense (reduced)
Ed slightly flinched at the sudden system notification while he was resting. He was about to read the message when suddenly, another notification popped into his mind.
EVENTS HAVE ALTERED THE COURSE OF NATURE. SHIFT IN AMBIENT MANA DETECTED. MANA CONCENTRATION LEVELS TEMPORARILY RISING. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS HAVE BEEN ALTERED.

'Huh? What the hell does that mean?' Ed thought to himself when he heard Jason's panicked statement. Even more confused than he was before, he sat there for a few moments in shock. Finally snapping out of it and regaining composure, he heads straight to the bonfire to retrieve what he could from the stash of mana crystals. Moving past his poisoned needle traps, he gets his worn lizard stomach and begins to fill the improvised sack full of what his rat hands and mouth could stuff in. Satisfied with what he could get in, he puts the mana crystal filled bag horizontally onto his back and balances the it as if carrying a sack of potatoes. Jason along with the a number of his allies were long gone when he had returned to Rattleskull's corpse. 'Shit. They're gone.' The young dire rat thought to himself as he did his best to formulate a way to locate Jason and the others. He begins to sniff around the air and utilize his sharp sense of smell to locate the distinct odors of Jason's evolved form. Once he picked up the scent, he begins to scamper towards it, in hopes that he would arrive to where Jason and the others went to.

The moon had dipped down on the horizon and soon the moon made its appearance in the twilight. He wasn't even halfway to the last town he needed to go to. A howl emanated from somewhere Ethan could not discern, it sounded almost like a wolf, but different enough for Ethan to know that it was not a wolf. The young man let out a shaky laugh at the thought of a cougar howling but a sense of dread soon followed as he reasoned out that there were far worse creatures that dwelt within the forests and woodlands.
It was then he saw the torchlight further up the path, two torches at least moving away from him with post haste. Squinting, he could discern that they were humanoid and moving further and further away. "Why in the nine hells are they running?" Whatever scared the two humanoids was somewhere near, and Ethan was in no condition to be running anymore. Snuffing out his torch, he goes fifteen feet into the brush beside the path and begins to sneak his way towards the town.
He hoped whatever manner of creature or thing that scared the two, would not take notice of his stealthy passage.

We are out of combat so I suppose we need to address the new PC encountering us and hopefully not cause a ruckus in the church, lest we gain the ire of that dark wraith.
Pain was dulled by the adrenaline rush caused by the berserker rage, but that did not mean that the damage dealt was insignificant. The lumbering goblinoid's wild swing of his arms had done significant damage to his form, yet Ed was still unaware of it. The uneven and shaky stance he had when he recovered from being cast aside was obvious to anyone who cast a gaze upon his direction. Then Rattleskull began gibbering in confusion and fright. "Pathetic." Ed muttered the insult laced with anger and venom. He set his gaze upon the massive figure when he saw Jason end Rattleskull. He could feel his confidence surge as the fiend go limp. His thoughts falling into the darker recesses of his mind, drunk on blood and animalistic rage. 'This is a turning point in the battle. Now they we're on the offensive! No quarter must be given! Track all of them down! SLAUGHTER EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!' He could feel his control over his body waning and his reasoning teetering into madness.
'That's enough, Ed.' A familiar feminine voice rang through his head.
As if being struck with a physical blow, he lurched forward as the resistance finally gave way. His breathing was ragged and his eyes were unfocused. 'I can only have full control for so long before the mindless rage does...I need to be more careful.' The young dire rat simply laid on the ground and took a moment to recuperate lost strength and rest a while.

Skill Deactivated: Rabid Fit I.
It is currently inactive.
Fly into a mindless rage, and destroy the enemy! A sudden burst of fury grants you increased strength and damage, but you’ll become more vulnerable to damage yourself.
