Here's my first character. Is it alright if I make another? My second character would be a monster pet of this one. Also, how much of the fantasy world am I allowed to just make up? @Hostile

Miran Tuove

Name: Miran Tuove

Titles: Riverwood Town Healer

Age: 15

Gender: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (male)

Race: Ceas Human

Occupation: Town Healer/General Record-Keeper

Affiliation: Whatever empire currently controls Riverwood

Appearance:

Personality:

Miran is innocently naive and has little to no sense of danger to the point that the other villagers believe that he'd greet a band of raiding orcs with a bouquet of flowers. Miran goes through life like a Disney princess, smiling, greeting people, and being surrounded by woodland critters. However, many suspect that his compassion has made him become a chosen of the goddess of light and mercy, an honor typically reserved for women. Miran is effeminate, non-confrontational, and seems to not understand the concept of personal boundaries. Miran is curious and is fascinated with the world, plant and animal life in particular, and has many books of flora and fauna documented by adventurers. Booksmart but lacking in common sense, Miran is considered dumb by much of the village, though they love him greatly.

History:

Miran was born and raised in Riverwood, youngest son of the town woodsman. In his early years, he was a disappointment, too weak to learn his father's trade. His father apprenticed him to the aging town healer, who had not yet found anyone in the small town with the gift of magic to pass on his knowledge to. As it turned out, not only was Miran gifted at healing spells, many claimed he had been chosen by the goddess of light and mercy. Satisfied, the aged Healer passed away. Though Miran did not complete his training, he makes do with what he's learned and continues to study his master's notes. As a possible chosen, his potential is unlimited when it comes to mastering not only healing magic, but the entirety of light magic, including supportive, defensive, and offensive spells, possibly even veering into channeling or summoning celestial beings. But for now, he is just a simple healer.

Weapons and Equipment:

Healer's robe, healer's staff, apothecary's pouch, hiking rucksack filled with magical tomes and traveler's journals instead of survival gear.

Skills and Abilities:

Literate, has vast (though incomplete and possibly incorrect) knowledge of Ceas wildlife, fast learner, recognizes important healing herbs, knows how to make medicine, perform first aid, and nursing.

Magical Spells:

Healing magic, various basic utility spells.

I'm still super looking forward to this. Hope everyone's recovered from Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

@Dannyrulx

If it makes you feel any better, then maybe I'll add in a language barrier for the first part of the RP, until a wizard or translation thing solves the problem.

@Hostile

I'm planning on making my character the hapless and inexperienced town healer and their pet monster, who has plenty of book knowledge of the flora and fauna of this world to share with the new arrivals and a few spells up their sleeve, maybe even a language spell.

One Piece ------ A Pirate's Life for Me------

Handel Haydn Hallelujah pounded on the keys of the little honky tonk piano the bar had set up to the amusement of the drunkards that filled the mess hall. He was getting paid by the bar to perform, though the occasional generous sea dog did add to the tip jar that was half-filled with Handel's own money. A marine burst in and announced the execution. Listening in, Handel learned that Captain Ruckus had brought in the unfortunate convict. Handel came to Shells Town to lay low and hide his identity, but with the arrival of Ruckus, that hope had been dashed. Now Handel didn't know Ruckus personally, but if Ruckus was famous enough for his name to be known out in the boonies here in Shells Town, then he was trouble, and Handel didn't want any of it.

I need to get off this blasted island, Handel thought to himself as he continued playing his song, bringing it to an end as people started shuffling out of the bar, excited to see the bloody spectacle. Figuring that he'd be less conspicuous if he mingled with the crowd, Handel followed them out, but not before he rushed upstairs and gathered all his belongings into a massive wheeled trunk.

In the town square, Handel noticed the white hair of one of the cooks who worked at the bar. Handel had been going under the fake name Friedrich. He approached the cook, Bella, from behind. "Mandatory execution?! You'd think it was Whitebeard they had up there or something," he said, just to break the ice sonewhat.

@Shadolord

Mind if Handel plays music at the bar where Bella works?

@Demous

Mind if Sayuri and Handel know of each other? Maybe the atrocity that caused Sayuri to quit the Marines was one orchestrated by Handel before he grew a conscience, so she's at least heard of the Fiddler Crab. Maybe her leaving the mission made him question himself.

Yes sir.

@malmshodes

Whoops, made a mistake, Bella's the cook, not the doctor.

One Piece ------ A Pirate's Life for Me------

Name: Bella Nocturne
Alias: Nightshade Chef
Appearance:
Age: 27
Position on the Ship: Cook
Personality: Curious is one word that can easily describe Bella. Her curiosity has led her into many a problematic situation. Creativity is another defining factor of who Bella is it takes some creativity to hide the taste of toxins. She hates waste, both effort and resources. She considers bad cooks to be a waste of her oxygen, though she believes those who are learning to cook or trying to improve are worth the combined weight of the kitchen in gold.
Background: Growing up in a well off family she wanted for nothing but spent time in the kitchen watching the servants working. One day on a trip to another island for a fun vacation their ship was destroyed by pirates she floated on some flotsam to a deserted island at the age of eleven. Her life took a horrid turn on that island but it helped shape her into who she is. 9 years on that island gave her time to learn to survive and more importantly kill things so she can survive as well as different ways to do it. Rescued by a ship that stopped to investigate and brought her back to civilization. Back in civilization she got a job working as a cook in a bar and proceeded to work up the chain.
Weapons/ Items: Assorted Knives, Collection vials, Poison test strips.
Abilities: Encyclopedic knowledge of poisonous/venomous flora/fauna, Advanced knife skills, Good accuracy with thrown objects.
Techniques: (Having trouble thinking of these)

Throwing my interest in here as possibly the only one wishing to play as a fantasy villager.

<Snipped quote by BladeSS4>

I'd be happy with a musician.

@malmshodes

@BladeSS4

It's not like Handel is a musician or anything, he just uses a string bass is all.

Just kidding, glad to have an official musician on board.

I can see Calder synergizing well with both the captain (storm electricity plus positive/negative attraction/repulsion) and Handel (weaponizing music/harmonics).

HHH

Name: Handel Haydn Hallelujah
Alias: Commander Hallelujah, Agent Hallelujah, The Fiddler Crab
Appearance:

Replace the labcoat with a marine's 'Justice' jacket.

Age: 30
Position on the Ship: Navigator
Personality:

Handel seems friendly but in a 'get under your skin' sort of way. An eavesdropper at heart, he likes to plant baby den den mushi in private locations to hear other peoples' conversations and ends up knowing more information about people than they expect. He is a bit excessive compulsive and can be very particular when it comes to the tidiness of his belongings. He is a deep thinker and surprisingly empathetic. His quest is to bring back a moral and ethical government. He is always wearing a somewhat creepy smile that makes it hard for others to guess his thoughts. Handel hates when a plan doesn't go right. Handel tends to be a bit flirty with people he's close to regardless of gender.

Background:

Handel grew up the son of a rich, military family. He learned to play string instruments when he was young and was set to become a great marine as his inevitable future career. He joined the marines, keeping peace and helping take down weak pirates in the name of peace and justice, eventually working his way up to being commander and second in command of a ship, where he supported his captain with brilliant strategies that prioritized the survival of the crew, making as few sacrifices as possible, and even preventing the loss of life of the enemy, earning his captain a reputation of mercy.

These strategies earned Handel a transfer from normal navy service into the intelligence division, where he became an agent of Cipher Pol 1, CP1. Here he utilized his ability to gather and exploit information in preventative schemes that stopped violence and uprisings before they began. Yet more and more, he was being asked to make difficult choices and to prioritize 'efficiency' and secrecy over the lives of his enemies and the soldiers he was responsible for. He went along with the flow, comforting himself with moral justifications until it became too much for him. He realized he had become a man who no longer saw other humans as people but as numbers in his calculations. He had been numbed to the atrocities he had committed in the name of 'justice'. In the middle of an important government operation, Handel let slip the amount of soldiers that would be sacrificed among the navy as well as spilling information to the enemy, giving them a chance to escape. This saved numerous lives from both sides, but convicted him of high treason. He had prepared for this outcome, and had asked his father in a letter to disown him, and then he slipped away and went into hiding before the marines came to arrest him. His family is safe, having enough money and clout to avoid trouble from the marines. Since Handel deserted before the Marine schism, he is unsure how he is viewed by the Shielding Marines, though he is certain the Old Marines want him dead, having placed a 5,000,000 Beri bounty on his head. He suspects the Shielding marines remember the atrocities he has orchestrated rather than the fact that he has abandoned that life.

Weapons/ Items:

• String Bass (Shield)
• Bass Bow (Sword)
• Various other musical instruments
• Den Den Mushi Set including several regular ones, a few baby ones, and a black one.

Abilities:

Handel is an inventor and a spy, who uses sound vibrations and information on his enemies to deadly effect. He knows navigation, and has some medical knowledge (mostly anesthesiology, pain management and psychosomatics) so he can be an assistant doctor but not the main doctor. He is better as a strategist, infiltrator or assassin.

Techniques:

In close range, he uses a unique sword and shield fighting style. The back of his bass is steel-plated, he holds the neck of the base, planting the spike of the bass in the ground with it's back towards the enemy as a massive riot shield. The bow of his fiddle has a blade along its edge which he swings as a short sword. He is also strong enough to lift the bass and swing it around, using the spike at the bottom to impale foes. He has learned how to use vibrations and sound to affect various materials, as long as he tweaks the frequency. Typically, the stiffer and more brittle a material is, the easier it is to damage it with sound. He can imbue his sword/bow with a frequency by running it along the strings of the base and then striking with the sword giving it a property to easily cleave through the specific material it was tuned to. He can also launch out sonic attacks at range, but sound dissipates with distance and is considerably weaker. He often plays on his own turf, scattering Den Den Mushi around to relay sonic attacks and create harmonic/acoustic zones where his sonic attacks are much more powerful. Handel knows various ways of using sound to affect the human body. He has the ability to infiltrate Marine ships and bases due to his background and intercept communications with his black Den Den Mushi. Handel requires information on the enemy to be most effective. His most powerful attacks take time or require preparation beforehand. He has limited long range capabilities, and is more defensive than offensive. He is only a decent swordsman at best, and relies more on surprise, advantage, and finesse. He runs the role of 'support mage' for the most part.

Other:

Handel is used to luxury and is a big spender. His musical inventions are also not cheap, so he'll tend to splurge the crews treasure on extravagant shopping sprees.
