Current you can never really tell if a person is looking out from behind their own eyes, or if the eyes are being piloted by tiny mice in swivel-chairs.

You aren't a true historian until you want to die because you have to properly cite 70 different footnotes on your 20 page paper at 1 AM the day it is due

Prayer does nothing. Demand change from your representatives. This is the ONLY country where mass shootings are a regular occurrence.

Bio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psYQl2wmgyU

College student at a state college in the American Pacific Northwest. I am studying history to go into an education masters program, and then hopefully go teach high schoolers, also going for a political science minor since I keep taking polysci classes :V . Positive Nihilist, leftie, enjoy in depth discussion of topics/fun tangents, also enjoy being left alone... depends on the day. I also am not a fan of capitalizing the beginning of a sentence. why does it need a capital letter? there's already a punctuation mark before it! (he says as he continues to capitalize the word "I")

Other interests include:
-Overwatch: support/Junkrat main. #freefuey
-Combat Robotics: and if you're like me and are too poor to actually build shit but want to pretend you've made something anyway, check out ARC (http://s10.zetaboards.com/Drowning_City_Forums/index/). /cross-forum plug :V
-also in the vein of robotics, I volunteer through the FIRST (for Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition community. FIRST puts on a lot of really cool robotics based events for schoolchildren, and I do encourage you to check out their events and/or get into volunteering if you're into that sort of thing. it's also a gigantic commitment and probably not as much fun for people who aren't as into it as I am :V . still, go take like 3 minutes to watch this, this shit is so cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjDSCT96K2w
-Hearthstone (fuck cubelock amirit I definitely dont love cubelock or anything)
-MtG (and by that I mean I dick around with a group hug commander deck with my friends)
-I play Sheik in one of the Super Smash brothers games but I forget which one. pretty sure it's not melee :V

Yeah what program is this? It looks like something I might actually be able to use
You already know which one i like :P
I really like the effort put into this, some sorta old, grumpy druidish half-elf incoming
Name: Cristophe Cos Kritikos

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Sexuality: Asexual

Godly ancestor: Hecate (triplicate goddess of crossroads, poisons, medicines, necromancy, witchcraft)

Son/daughter or further removed: Great-Grandson

Relationship with godly ancestor: While quite distant, Hecate is clearly pleased that one of her descendants not only showed a portion of her power, but was reverent towards her in response to it. the staff she gave to Cristophe is clear proof of her approval.

Relationship with mortal family: Cristophe’s sisters might be a bit jealous, but he’s generally on good terms with the Kritikos family as a whole. They are a relatively close and supporting family.

Powers:
Triplicate self: Cristophe can, at will, make 2 illusory copies of himself that will act and look in every way as he does. If an opponent is sufficiently perceptive or knowledgeable about magic or illusions, they may be able to see through the illusions. If they take any damage, they will fizzle away into nonexistence. Use of this ability will drain Cristophe very quickly.
Crossroads and Pathways: will often be able to intrinsically know which path to take, know when a city or other fortifications are close, and be able to identify spirits and other supernatural beings, even if he is not familiar with them. He is not consciously aware of this at all, and will generally trust his premonitions whether or not they are actually true.
Entwined staff: made of one branch each of Oak, Yew and Cyprus, the staff holds within it a fraction of the power of life. Using the staff, Cristophe is capable of the following;
-raising the dead: those who are slain are not devoid of life, and Cristophe can raise and control 3 of them, assuming the targets are the strength and intelligence of an average human. This does involve a short incantation, and the placement of a yew berry in the mouth of the target. The staff also needs to rejuvenate itself after doing so, becoming nonfunctional for about 40 minutes.
-Posion: inflicts moderate yew poisoning on the target; they will immediately go into convulsions and begin throwing up, and may also have difficulty breathing and tremors, though it may affect supernatural beings differently than humans. Using this power will overload the staff for about 2 minutes
-Healing: target mends injuries, shakes off poisons, and better resists illusions (mind control, forced hallucinations) for as long as Cristophe focuses the staff’s energies on them. The staff can do this for up to 2 minutes, and must recharge 2 minutes for every 1 minute of use.
-note: while the staff is certainly supernaturally strong, it is still breakable.

Personality: Generally supportive, calming and stable, Cristophe is not readily surprised or excited. In the short term he is incredibly willing to change plans, adjust strategies, and even ignore moral convictions if it will eventually let him wind back towards his goal. This also means that he can be distracted or unobservant if his mind is on other things, since he is so rarely concerned with anything in the short term. Cristophe cares most about protecting his family and others close to him, and will do so at great cost. He will trust the decisions of those who he considers friend/family, even if they seem dangerous, and will often defend the decision, irrational as it may be, to others. He is also incredibly interested in plant lore for medicinal/poison use, and will often go out of his way to collect or otherwise observe plants with which he is not familiar.

Bio: Cristophe showed signs of his heritage at a relatively young age, able to do the whole splitting into three dealio. You ever tried catching a 3-year-old running around your house, then realizing you’ve caught a fake one? Yeah, his mother was not amused. Him almost never getting lost proved quite helpful, especially as he started wandering the forests more often. His friends may have found him pretty damned weird, but his parents supported the hobby, and so did his great-grandmother. She elected to wait until after his schooling to alert him of his destiny and gift him his staff. So, fresh out of college with a biology degree, Cristophe is now wandering into… a city full of gods?

Additional:
Appearance:
5'7"
124lbs
Greek/French/American ancestry. Head topped with a thousand curls of scraggly blond hair, Cristophe has not combed it in weeks - not that that would accomplish anything. ears are mostly covered by it, and it's just beginning to move over his eyes, such that he has to flick it out of the way every once in a while. straight, white teeth. thin eyebrows, relatively small nose, long eyelashes. rather small nose, moderate sized ears, soft chin and cheekbones, with the beginnings of a chinstrap beard going (though it's still a tad scraggly). overall, not overly attractive, really, but not ugly either. Voice is middle-pitch and his voice box is rather small, neck is short. usually slumps. long, nimble fingers, chewed at nails (despite his mother's admonitions). comparatively short legs.

Usually will be wearing a green or brown chiton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiton_(costume)), though also has jeans and sweaters/button-ups if needed. always wearing good walking shoes, with rather loud socks.

Skills:
-pianist (decent for his age, but far from a virtuoso)
-Herbalist (he is quite good at this now, doing so as a hobby)
-biologist (see:degree)
-staff fighting (quarterstaves are dangerous weapons regardless of enchantments, and he does have one now, and has started to look up how to use one)
-Archery (competent, does not own a bow)
-World of Warcraft (Monk/Death Knight)
I had a good idea for this so I'm probably committing whether or not its a good idea :V
Ideas floating around and potential interest, though I may or may not be able to join
Lol I just realized another character is also Hecate based (who is also both lesbian and pan for some reason :V ), but we both went very different directions with the abilities so we should be good?


seems a bit cheap to circumnavigate the machinations of the GMs by doing so
Cameras.
Reporters.
Questions.
People… everywhere.
The Warden was definitely aware that he’d be dealing with some amount of crowds, but he had elected to mostly ignore that fact in the hope that it wouldn’t be as bad as he had feared. Naturally, it turned out even worse. Deep breaths...deep breaths he thinks as he focuses, and is ready to face the crowds...


And naturally, failed miserably at answering even the easiest of questions from the reporters. Fortunately he avoided much stammering, but between the ridiculous amount of background noise, their confusing questions (like he remembers what he did on the 4th of December last year – he didn’t even have his phone calendar then!), and his trouble forming his ideas into words, he ended up not saying much at all. Hey, look on the bright side… maybe they’ll paint me as the “stoic” hero… that’s what local guys seem to do… when they aren’t making fun ---

He feels a tap, and looks over and around for a moment before noticing the dark cape swooping by. Stuttering, stammering, he began to raise his hand and ask him what it meant, before noticing three others following the Batman. He shrugged and decided to follow I suppose he’ll tell me to turn back if nothing else…
The Smoker… cigarettes are so bad for you…
The Lizard… seemed a little scatterbrained.
Fancy Man… wannabe Batman.

Hopefully this goes well...hopefully one of them knows more about this lion man than I do


____________________________

St.Roch:

The Warden sat and watched as Rose attempted to make conversation with Fancy Man. Not much for conversation either... wait... parachute?

The conversation proceeds further, and then, fortunately, the Question addresses him directly: "Will covering vegetation bother it? If so, will perhaps need to find new way to wear parachute."

"Uh, well bother? Yes, but everything makes me itchy. Bigger issue is that I am covered in brambles. Parachutes generally do not work with holes in them, correct?" he asks, not entirely sarcastically. Before Q can respond though, Rose and Lizard are already over him, putting the parachute on his front. He protests for a moment before he notices that it is indeed holding up... For now, at least.

"Pull here, right?" he asks of really anyone who's listening, and he gets a slight nod from Question as Rose and Lizard jump. I guess me next, he thinks as he walks up to the edge, steps back, forward, back... Swallows...

And jumps.

The air is exhilarating but terrifying, and he realizes just as he jumps out that he has no idea when to pull the damned thing. ohshitohshitohshitohshito- the failsafe deploys, flipping The Warden upside down thanks to the orientation of the parachute. he hears a faint ripping, but also looks back and sees the roof approaching... a little fast... and is able to eyeball it to catch a spire with one of his vines to break the fall.

"Oof."

Meanwhile, a few yards away, Question landed on the ground with a lot more grace than The Warden. He cast a glance at his teammate, then turned to the others. "As Batman said, I am on point for mission. Follow orders and will capture the lion-man." As he took his parachute off, he turned to Lizard and Rose. "Will need to get to museum first. Must find lion-man and hostage. Warden, Ravager, you will face enemy head-on. Lizard and I will find way to sneak into museum. Any questions?"

Good, less complicated... Though... "How are we getting down?" The Warden asks, currently in a pitch battle with his parachute.

This catches Question off-guard, and he pauses before clearing his throat awkwardly. "Um... Stairs?"

"Lizard and I are not exactly covert, in general. I do hope one of the staircases leads to a back exit" he says, eventually giving up the fight and just ripping the parachute off with his vines.

And just then, out of the corner of his eye, Question spots the fire escape. "... Or fire escape." He says, walking to said fire escape. "Come. Time for mission."

That works, The Warden thinks as he wordlessly follows.
<Snipped quote by The Angry Goat>

Couldn't the strength of the vines/plant tendrils let him drop out of the ship like Spiderman?
