PREVIOUS OCCUPATION : Owner and head chef of the Tres Hermanos restaurant.
VOCATION : Chef? if thats a legit vocation idk your world
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : HEIGHT : 6' 3" WEIGHT : 240 lbs. HAIR : BLA EYE : BRO FEATURES : Overweight. Scar on stomach from kidney removal. Large moustache.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS : Javier is kind to a fault, a man who will put others first in almost any circumstance. The man knows only love for his fellow man, and is not shy about showing it. He is optimistic in almost any circumstance, finding humor and joy in the small things of life. He's experienced many things in his life, and will happily speak on these experiences for hours on end if not stopped, and even sometimes regardless of whether or not you try to stop him. He has a habit of humming and singing when he believes he's not being observed.
Javier has strong moral beliefs, that have lead to him harboring a resentment for the corrupt and greedy governments of the world, though it rarely shows through his cheerful grin. Though he is cooperative with the migration to the new Eden on the surface level, there is reason to believe that his inclination against authority may make him suspicious of the motives of the Democratic League of Planets.
CHARACTER PROFILE : Javier was born in Morelos, Mexico, to a family with roots held deep in the land. Javier had a baby brother by the name of Rodriguez, and the two were inseparable. In the Juan Valdez family, tradition was everything, so when a young Rico fell for an American woman he met on holiday and had a child, the family was incredibly upset with Rico- they kicked him out to the streets with a family he could not support.
Javier made a choice to support his brother rather than stay in the good graces of the family, so he moved to America and together the brothers started a small restaurant in which Javier put his skills to good use. The restaurant gained some notoriety in the small town they moved into, and as technology evolved, so did their business. Eventually Rico's son was old enough to work and took a shining to the new family business- so he became the third of the Tres Hermanos.
Eventually Rico's son Ruiz found himself in less than savory company and became an addict. Javier and Rico gave him all the support they could to get him out of the hole, but Ruiz succumbed to his addiction and died at the age of 22. This destroyed Rico emotionally, who left to reconnect with their family in Morelos in desperate search of some hope. Javier stayed with the restaurant, promising that Rico would always have a place to stay when he was ready. Five years after Rico left, the aliens made contact, and still Javier hasn't heard a word from his brother.
After being selected for the great migration, Javier left the Tres Hermanos as well as the small fortune he had collected from a life of simple living under the supervision of Rico's wife, so that if Rico were to return he would not be left in the dirt like he was so long ago.
I mean I can pop up the OOC any time, its just about any extra info I want to write. I just informed you guys of the sheet fields so you can work on them.
I only ask because I just finished mine but Idk if its tacky to put a CS in an interest check, I'm a little rusty
Alright, so give this is a small group RP (to keep encounters easier to manage when the group gets to their first planet), I think I should start preparing this with a sheet. Though, outside of some minor sections the only thing I'm going to really want from you guys in these sheets is their backstory/life, their occupation before leaving Earth, and some tertiary details (Name, Age, Ethnicity, Nationality, etc.)
Do you want the sheets before or after you put up an OoC?
A former healer turned Mechanic with a crippled arm and a history of failure,
wielding a Pyxis focused around history.
oooo Age // 45 oooo Gender // Male oooo Race // Human oooo Ship role // Mechanic
Derevi Dants has always sought to help those who cannot help themselves- raised on the teachings of Ravishaan from youth, Derevi learned to heal others and sought the best outlet to do so: he found the Fournacis. In his time healing the crew, he was introduced to his true passion- the magic of machinery. The beauty of a well oiled machine like the Fournacis drew him in, enraptured him. What he learned of healing magics he began to apply to his new work as a mechanic- unorthodox, but effective.
Guided by the light of Ravishaan, Derevi sought to Manifest a Pyxis, and he spent many cycles seeking enlightenment through this. Eventually he attained his goal of manifesting a pyxis, but failed his goal of attaining enlightenment, so turned his eyes to the future in the hopes of an opportunity presenting itself.
This opportunity did present itself, or so Derevi thought, in the Fournacis' final journey. As the crew fought valiantly through Ysir's horde, so did Derevi fight valiantly in search of a cure for Ysir's curse, turning back to his roots as a healer. He performed some of his best work attempting to deconstruct and reverse engineer the curse, but it was work done in vain. Derevi made no breakthroughs in counteracting Ysir's curse- he only managed to give himself a very mild case of the curse. Enough to take his good arm, and to give him a constant haze of fatigue, but not quite lethal. Not yet, at least.
For four years, Derevi sought new meaning in life. He could not bring himself to ever attempt healing magic again, for fear of failing spectacularly again, and his skill with a wrench was crippled with the loss of his arm. Ravishaan offered no enlightenment, no answers, no salvation. In order to combat the constant haze he was under, Derevi became reliant on more illicit healing magics, giving him just enough drive to make it from one day to the next. Day after day, hoping, pleading for some glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Then, he had a dream. Chatter on the streets say that many people had that same dream. Derevi had a calling. Derevi had a purpose.
Pyxis Strength
History (yeah its vague but i think the skill list explains it better? Idk it might be too jank)
Autodidact With focus and concentration, Derevi can peek into the past of an object, and witness it's history. He can see any major alterations or trauma that the object has sustained. He's untrained and sloppy with his pyxis, so can only see an hour into the past of any object. This only allows him to see the impact of outside forces on the object, no other information.
Alteration With severe expenditure of energy and time, Derevi can use his pyxis to refine objects to a conceptual state of history. The exact effects of this vary from object to object, and oftentimes Derevi doesn't even know exactly what the effects of this ability will be. Some examples: A glass bottle altered might produce an equal mass of loose sand. A cup of wine altered might produce a cup of freshly squeezed grape juice. A gun altered might produce a bow- a bullet altered might produce an arrow.
Abscond Most of Derevi's pyxis doesn't have any effect on living moving matter, however this ability allows Derevi to exert a small amount of control over his own body. He can alter his body to any state within the past 4 seconds: effectively healing any damage he's taken in that time. While useful, it's almost impossible to do multiple times without resting in between, and Derevi has noticed the deadened black skin of his right arm spreads further with each use.
Atone Derevi is naturally clumsy, even moreso with only one good arm. His pyxis gives him a technique that allows him to make up for this, just slightly. While using this ability, he becomes more skilled and precise at any one action for each time he performs that action and that action only. The increase from this skill is marginal and requires a large amount of unbroken repetition to show concrete improvement.
@ThatGiantRat - He looks good! The only bit that I wanna give you a heads up on (and this is actually totally on me for literally answering a question about this and forgetting to add it to the lore doc after) is that Ysir's Curse does stop progression after leaving the Void, up to a certain point.
With Derevi's pyxis and Abscond in particular, I can give the of progression reactivating bit by bit a pass though, so you can keep that drawback in if you'd like. It's just minor a heads up, since I realize I didn't add the clarification into the lore doc.
I havent actually used this site in about a year so i might be doing this totally wrong, but here's what I've got? pls be gentle
