Mikey sat in his cage lying on his back. He had one arm raised in the air and his eyes carefully scanned the surface. Guards often wondered what was going through his head as he did this like he often does. They probably knew the Surgesh as a blood thirsty and brutal race that installed fear in the heart of millions. They thought that Mikey might have some sinister thoughts.. some devilish notions passing through his mind like those of his kind were known to have.
...Nah. He was just counting his spots. He was trying his hardest to count more then 20, but he'd loose count all of the time. It didn't help that he wasn't really taught his numbers very well. He browsed up on the surface of his arm and counted. It was all he could do to ignore the sounds of torture coming from down the hall. He didn't know who was locked up down there, but whoever it was Mikey felt bad for whatever was being done to them.
"17 spots.... 18...? No wait, I counted that one." Mikey thought as his eyes strained.
"BLARG!!" He shouted in exasperation as he bright a mighty arm down. The impact shook the ground a little bit and sent echoes through the room. He hated it when he lost count like this. A guard suddenly approached the front of his cell and banged the bars with his baton.
"You in there! Quiet!!" The human barked with a stern look. Mikey simply turned his head and gave the man the blankest look he could muster. They locked eyes for a moment, Mikey not blinking at all. It helped that he didn't have eyelids. The guard was predictably the first one to blink and Mikey celebrated yet another uncontested victory in the league of blinking contests by croaking.
"Err.. Right then. Carry on." The guard said as he backed away from the cage. Mikey often had this effect on the mean lab people, but he didn't understand exactly why. everyone seemed to be afraid of him all of the time. He spooked guards, scientists, and follow inmates alike. While it helped him avoid abuse... it did make him a bit sad. Mikey lifted his arm into the once again to continue counting his spots. He was determined to figure out how many he had. It wasn't like he didn't have the time for it, anyway.

Well, Simic's been taken, but Orzhov's still available. As for Ravnica being a popular plane, why did you think they did a sequel?
In the main post it said Simic was open. I looked over the thread and someone did take it already...
You might need to update that Chadsworth.
I'm a huge nerd for mtg lore, and Ravnica is probably my favorite plane so far, but...
I'm just not exactly sure how the structure of this would work out. I'll probably roll with either Orzhov or Simic since they are my favorite guilds, but I'd like to see a little bit more info about the plot and what exactly our characters would be doing before I can commit to the idea.

I got it, boss. It'd be nice to figure out where Clarity is actually hanging out relative to everything else. I would say her home is located somewhere in Mt. Mist.
My mistake, I did the thing you wanted me to. For some reason I always see it, but when I'm actually making the CS I completely forget to include it.
I will be free
Name: Mikey
Age: 21
Gender/Sex: Male
Sexuality: Just about anything, really.
Species (if spliced or alien): The Surgesh, a species best described as amphibious juggernauts and excellent and cold blooded warriors. They come from a swamp planet full of similarly blood thirsty and dangerous creatures.
Height: 5ft Tall on all fours, closer to 7 standing upright.
Hair Colour: M/A
Eye Colour: Black
Deformities/odd features: Surgesh come out almost transparent when they hatch as tadpoles, and their coloration depends on their diet before they reached maturity. The food he was fed from the lab was mostly processed, and so he ended up Orange with black spots and a pale underbelly. Most of his race is a muddy green and brown, so his appearance is strange to say the least.
General Appearance:
Personality: Mikey is not exactly smart. He is well meaning and usually does his best to work for the greater good, but he lacks any technical knowledge at all. Despite this flaw, and his horrifying appearance, he is a very loyal and affectionate guy who will often throw himself into the thick of things for his friends. He often elicits fear in people due to the reputation of his species, but he had never seen one of his species before so he never had time to imprint himself on other Surgesh. Often comes off as a bit touchy feeling around friends, and can have a tremendous temper if he is provoked far enough. Overall he can be a joy to hang around, mostly because of blind optimism.
History: Mikey was actually hatched as a tadpole in a laboratory collecting DNA samples from various alien races in an attempt to produce the most deadly race of all. The Surgesh were chosen for their exceptional strength, but during his time their he ran across many different creatures, some more dangerous then others. Mikey was a weird case there. He simply wasn't growing up to be aggressive like the researchers wanted. Surgesh were extremely hard to come by, and it appeared that if they weren't raised in the harsh environment of their homeworld and without the pressure of surviving with others of their kind they became docile. This frustrated them to no ends, and after many attempts at getting Mike to fight, even going as far as to pit him against other extremely dangerous creatures, they gave up and sold him to another lab for general experimentation.
Abilities: -Impressive physical strength. The Surgesh are juggernauts, and are capable of twisting metal easily with their bare hands and effortlessly leaping several feat in the air.
-Aquatic affinity. The Surgesh are naturally talented at swimming, and have very powerful lungs that allow them to hold their breath for up to 30 minutes if required.
-Slimy Skin Membrane. Surgesh cover themselves with a water based slime that helps protect them from toxins as well as giving them the ability to attache themselves for walls. Surgesh need to be suitably hydrated in order to keep this film up.
-A very long and powerful tongue. Useful for eating small creatures and whatever else such a thing could be useful for.
Weaknesses: -Surgesh need to remain hydrated in order to keep themselves healthy. If a Surgesh were to dry out completely then they would be physically weak.
- Cold is harmful to Surgesh. They, unlike most amphibians, are warm blooded. But despite this slight advantage he still can't stay out in the cold for too long without risk of immediate death by organ failure.

I would assume that the players create the missions. I'd say it wouldn't be a bad idea for the three of you to decide for yourselves what you want to do.
I'm still here, but you're right. It's weird for all of the momentum to go away right as we reach an action scene too.
Yo RedWing, you should check your private messages. Something involving you is a' brewin'.
This train seems to have run out of steam. We better throw some coals into the furnace! Toot-toot!
But seriously, is there some hold up keeping you guys busy? I'll be the first to understand when things happen in real life make it difficult to set aside time for silly role playing shenanigans.
