Fantastic.Also, how do people feel about the Sweeney Todd comment I had a few posts above?
That would be interesting, maybe mix in the odd mortal monster and blur the line between super natural and things that are just plain unnatural
Awesome I'm looking forward to this one
Oh sorry I meant to do that before I moved it. My bad.

Character
Name: Garick Darksand
Age: 29
Appearance:
Heavier build, a darker skin tone with brown eyes and longer hair.
Personality: Garick grew up hiding his abilities with magic and is consequently highly distrustful of others even those who have proven to be trustful repeatedly. This however does not prevent him from being amiable to others and having a propensity for deadpan humor and dry sarcasm. Due to his need to protect his abilities from discovery Garick has trouble forming lasting relationship as in his mind he needs to be able to leave at a moments notice should people become aware of his ability and turn him over to the Legion. Garick believes in being practical and not taking unnecessary risks however this does not mean he won’t take risks when he believes them necessary and profitable.
Inventory: A small number of coins, Twin Scimitars, Falchion, backpack, bedroll, shoulder slung bag of sand, belt with numerous pouches for magical components.
Garick’s Trinket is a Scorpion clasp for his cloak which he removes during usage of his elemental manipulation although he can use his spells even when not holding the clasp as it remains in contact with him however it gives him a better focus and finesse to actually hold the clasp.
Class: Animagi
Element: Sand
Skills:
Double sword and single sword expert with scimitars and his falchion
Proficient Sailor
Proficient Sculptor and Jeweler
Spells:
Garick has the ability to manipulate granulated earth including sand, ash, salt and dust. Garick can also manipulate the crystalline forms of his elements to a lesser degree including glass, obsidian and salt crystal. Garick is also capable of inducing dehydration, desiccation and other exposure related effects by stripping water from his enemies. While Garick is not capable of directly manipulating water he can dispel it evaporate or otherwise remove it from other organisms. With sufficient focus Garick can also dispe larger bodies of standing unattended water.
Garick is capable of solidifying salt, sand and ash into a crystalline form giving himself the ability to form claws or weapons of crystalline salt, glass and obsidian.
Garick’s animal form is a yellow and black carapaced Scorpion the size of a very large dog which secretes a deadly neurotoxin.
(When Garick achieves the elemental form the Scorpion will be composed of obsidian with yellow and red sand flowing beneath its surface, this form is noticeably larger than the normal animal form)
Garick is capable of a very disturbing spell which involves drying out a corpse with salt and coating the bones and skin with salt which then allows Garick to use the corpse as a puppet while highly disturbing his control is at best spotty, however with practice Garick could conceivably control multiple corpses with lethal ability.
Garick also has the theoretical knowledge of a spell which could be used to instill sentience in a golem composed of salt, sand or ash however Garick’s level of skill and confidence is not sufficient to accomplish this yet.
Garick’s link to the power of sand renders him all but immune to the effects of dehydration, heat stroke, desiccation and sun blindness.
Garick can move all but unimpeded on sand, dust or ash.
Allegiance: Neutral
Miscellaneous info: Garick disdains most technologies but he will use them if it will serve his purpose.

okay ill just move the skeleton here for convenience
Okay so I have a slight concern for the level of technology that Silvack is using in comparison to the other characters. If im going by the capabilities of Hirogen body armour my character is capable of hunting prey through the mantle of a colapsed star. Im wondering if perhaps before we get to far in I should swap him out for something closer in technology to where everyone else is because from what I can see everyone is using projectile based weapons and mine is a rather powerful energy based weapon. Any thoughts? I have some back up characters in mind but I'm just looking for a general opinion at this point because I think his personality is coming off beautifully I'm just not sure about the level of technology.
