The Harbinger of Ferocity

Post a random fact about yourself.

A great deal of my character plays into itself, @Jurassic Weeb. But I digress back to the topic.

I have lived in every major cardinal direction of the continental United States and have even gone abroad outside it, if only temporarily. To date, I have never had any interest or desire to live in foreign nations for any reason, and any business I conduct in them is only brief. I do however, wish to get back to the frontier states, which are the closest things to home I have ever known. In my lifetime I have moved roughly sixteen times and the West is the only place I have found worth living, as well as the United States. Everything else was varying shades of disappointment, frustration, or undue work.

Among my collection of fossils, I prefer the tar pit stain and finish to the bleached alternative most often seen in museums or associated with them. It comes across as more sincere, more authentic for my tastes, as well as not standing out too much. There is something strikingly distinctive about the remains in their unkempt finish, familiar in a way that the pure cleanliness of them in many institutions is unmatched by.

Post a random fact about yourself.

The Lion King is perhaps the first movie I had seen, being at least the first one I have any real recall of. There are other movies, unquestionably so, but there is no indication of which came first. Perhaps it was the most memorable of them, which is why it stood out in what is otherwise a mostly unknown period of life.

Thank you, @Hekazu, and for my first trick this is what I have from both myself and the inspirational source material at the moment. As before, please do let me know what you or anyone else would like added. This is mostly for the sake of our characters acting in character and us having a shared, universal idea of what is being said or going on. If there is anything anyone would like to add, please forward me the snippets in a format as this.

Notable for fielding slight variants or test versions of its products in place of selling them, the exchange being field data.

• Re-Human: A quasi-organization and corporation hybrid that develops top grade bioware and does only very in-depth biosculpting through genetic modification. Considers itself the "enlightened" edge of biological editing in contrast to cyberware, but offers entry level to full conversions and is generally regarded as overpriced.

Printed guns, melded metal - An experimental GM-less Cyberpunk RP

I will begin a collection of lingo soon enough, so other than that, I am ready to begin whenever. No less, if you are interested in having your portion be incorporated into a single document for anyone in the roleplay, please do forward it all to me. I am going to, at minimum, compile a list of slang and organizations.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

What was going on behind him was not the most pressing concern, at least not initially. Glancing back after the man he felled slumped into the bloodied soil with a twitch, he could hear the shouting growing more hurried and reckless. The savage had thrown himself into a swing that bit deep into one of the thoughtless zealots, followed by a twisted jab from the young priest who then wisely bolted as yet another enemy fell. Still shuffling along at a hastened pace, the man's voice rose much like the hair on the back of his neck.

"Don't waste your time with them, leave!"

Whatever had possessed them to delay was now more than quickly catching to them and he knew it more than most. The game was up, the surprise was over. Anything done now other than withdrawing was an absolute waste of energy. If the slaves failed in their escape, so be it. They had done all they could for them after all; if their will to survive and evade capture was so meek and meager, natural selection would thin out the worst of them. If the fire did not devour most of the cult's camp, so be it, but at least it cost them some of their luxuries and would damage their morale. If killing one of their lesser leaders did not make some of the aspirants think twice who they were crossing with, then that would be how it was, and Brannor would take due pleasure in freeing the darkness from their stained blacken souls with another purging swing. Bit by bit would he tear the evil from the cult, even if it meant he left nothing of them in the end, mercy being entirely optional. After all, the fading light of hope, that flame in the hearts of others, was dwindling elsewhere faster and faster the stronger and more coherent this enemy was allowed to become.

But first they would need to escape and their dallying was putting that at risk. Their break across the grassland and out the shoddy ramparts would just be the start of it and there would be far more to come. So he carried on in his spellbound shroud, leaving bits of fading stardust and pale light from him as he continued on his way. If need be he would fight, but first he needed to break from the enemy and get them somewhere safe enough to actually fight; here at the doorstep to their camp was not that place.

Effects

Brannor will take the Dash action and move his maximum movement forward, bounding likely ahead of the majority. If for some reason an enemy manages to provoke an opportunity attack from him, he will act on it. His intent is for them to break combat.

Post a random fact about yourself.

The majority of my marring comes from things that should have done significantly more damage to me than they managed. I heal well, comparatively fast, and the majority of it comes from attending properly to the injuries and getting ample sleep. Provided I have the time, I can sleep off most illnesses and injury in short order, same going for wounds; it isn't long they prove too inhibiting. Though I must admit, I am fortunate to have avoided the worst where I should have been far more injured.

Two levels in fighter would be reasonable for most anyone, so the attraction is not lost in the slightest, @Lucius Cypher.

Printed guns, melded metal - An experimental GM-less Cyberpunk RP

So far we have a decent enough collection of characters and I see no real issue with any of them as it goes. I will reread them all, but I suspect I will find nothing alarming. We are far from the areas we are concerned with from what I can tell; most everyone's modifications are the basic ones you would expect to see, at least where actual measurable improvements would be. As far as I am concerned, cosmetic matters are just that, cosmetic. Unless they have some major impact or influence on anything as determined in the meta, I see no real issue with them for myself.

Medical instruments never bothered me, both because I was exposed to them myself and because I was raised around them, alongside their applications in animals and people alike. Of course I am not one to desire to be stuck, poked, prodded or bothered, but I can at least admit they are effectively a non-issue. I do not believe I have had a bad experience with medicine, other than the obvious like incompetent technicians or prolonged hours spent waiting or days to weeks for an appointment.
