Character name: Kevas Background: Kevas has no memory of who his parents were, though he doesn't really care either. At a young age his parents were killed while traveling across Hillsbrad. They had almost reached their destination when they were ambushed and killed by members of the Alliance. Kevas was found not long after by a dwarf, lying beneath the corpse of his father barely alive himself. The dwarf was Gunry, an assassin of the Ravenholdt Manor. Feeling pity for the child, Gunry saved Kevas from death, taking him back to Ravenholdt. There, once Kevas recovered from his wounds, Gunry took the troll child on as his protege

Kevas app 2/??pimp_hatDecember 30 2010, 20:25:25 UTC
Personality: The number one thing in Kevas' life is his family. They're safety and happiness is all he really cares about. It's the sole reason why he keeps going. Without his family, Kevas is left without a purpose and does nothing but wallow in his depression and self-loathing. However, Kevas always seems to be on the look out for more to add to his family so that he's never alone. To his family, Kevas is loyal to a fault but to others, not so much, men especially. Kevas has a hard time trusting other men as so many have betrayed him in the past. He'll drink with them, he'll laugh with them, but he'll get no closer. Women on the other hand, can easily wrap him around their finger. The troll likes to think of himself as a gentleman as well as a ladies man and is always eager to please. Still, the troll refuses to become romantically involved with anyone as a form self-punishment for his actions

Items: At the time of his arrival all Kevas will be carrying is his weapons and armor His weapons include his twin swords, several throwing axes, a number of poisons, and several flash pellets, all of which will be taken from him.
Third person sample: Kevas sat in the back of the Salty Sailor Inn savoring his mug of cherry grog. These were the moments he enjoyed the most. Relaxing in his favored inn, drinking his favored liquor, and gazing at the women. If only he could spend the rest of his life like this: drinking liquor and seducing women. What a glorious life it would be! He took another long sip from his mug, tasting smooth cherry flavor followed by the strong aftertaste of grog. The drink was quite strong and if he didn’t pace himself it could easily end up making a second trip back up his throat. No matter how much he liked it, cherry grog didn’t taste so good after a second time. Not only that, but vomiting his liquor wasn’t the greatest way to impress the ladies

He calmly strode towards his blinded opponent. The muscles in his legs tightened as he swung his leg upwards, driving it into the tauren’s groin. A moan echoed throughout the bar as men looked on in horror. A quiet squeak escaped the tauren’s lips. He fell to his knees clutching his now shattered jewels. Spinning the sword in his hand, Kevas slammed its hilt down on the tauren’s head, knocking him out cold. He collapsed onto the floor, twitching slightly. Kevas placed his foot onto the defeated drunk’s back and roared triumphantly

Character name: Bennett Marrow Background: Bennett is a native of modern-day Vancouver, born to an American father and a Canadian mother. He's the second son of five children-- a (probably completely insane) neurotic older brother, a set of twin brothers who are younger and total jerks, and a sister who is ten years his junior and the only reason he goes to see his family at Christmas. At the age of nine, an aunt gave him an old copy of the Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales and thus begins a life-long love of folklore... as did as the family's life-long disdain for him. The Marrow Family are all involved in medicine somehow. Bennett is the first person in two generations to decide to be something other than a doctor, the ungrateful lout. God forbid the boy study English Literature-- and that's exactly what he decides to do. The fact that Bennett is the second son doesn't make this any better-- the way Bennett's father planned it out, he was supposed to be

2/ IDEK MAN I'M SO SORRY, YOU GUYSfolkloristloreDecember 31 2010, 00:17:47 UTC
Background, continued: After several different hospital stays and a miserable month of body aches and passing out and constant bleeding and oozing pus from his wolf-wound, exactly a month after his attack, Bennett is forced into the worst realization one could have.
He is, in every classical sense of the word, a monster.He collapses outside one of the school buildings on campus after a searing pain tears through his entire being, triggering the most single painful experience of his life-- he transforms from a man into a wolf and completely loses control of his body and his mind. He's able to escape into the woods that night and crawl back the next day, sore, terrified and confused

3/nooooobody knoooows the trouble I've seen, noooobody knows my sorroooowfolkloristloreDecember 31 2010, 00:18:49 UTC
Personality: In the years since becoming a werewolf, Bennett has been able to chill the hell out. Though still nervous and jumpy and constantly worried, he's much calmer than before. Rather than completely panicking, he can talk himself from SHEER TERROR to mere jitters. Bennett is nerdy, bookish, and legitimately a very nice guy. Though somewhat reclusive, he enjoys company, as long as he's sure he's not a nuisance or a hindrance of some kind. He often goes way out of his way to please people. He's somewhat of a puppy dog, even in spite of his lycanthropy. He responds remarkably well to attention and affection, something he only ever received from his kid sister. If you bless him with your presence and deign him worthy to speak to, he will keep talking and talking in an attempt to keep you around and talk to you-- and eventually he'll make a fool of himself and stop. He finds a childlike delight in knowledge and is more than happy to spill out anything he knows in hopes of either educating you or giving you some scrap of enjoyment

4/ IIIIIIIT'S A SMALL WORLD AAAAAAFTER ALLfolkloristloreDecember 31 2010, 00:20:27 UTC
Appearance: Bennett is a skinny, gangly sort of guy with a bit of scruff and a shock of thick, dark brown hair that never quite lays flat. He stands about 6'2", but keeps his head low so often that people tend to forget his normal height. If he actually makes eye contact with you, it's very easy to notice his bright brown eyes. He tends to get scruffier the closer he gets to a transformation.
Ben's a fan of button-down shirts and sweater vests and all around generally neat-looking clothes. He dresses like a stereotypical English professor all the time-- nice leather shoes, corduroy or khaki pants and a blazer. Beyond that, he doesn't have much of a sense of fashion. He dresses like an old man all the time.
Since Bennett is a werewolf, his wolf form is a larger-than-average Grey Wolf with more brown fur than grey. His tail is a bit shorter than normal, and he has those same, bright brown eyes.
His PB is Jay Baruchel.
Skills/Abilities: Once a month, Bennett turns into a werewolf! Hooray! To undergo this process, the lycanthropy

Character name: Herz Victor Hessian Background: Born to Bette and Richard Hessian in October of 1988, Herz came into life with his Grandmother’s name and a ten year old brother vowing up and down to protect him like a brother should. His house was built in the tiny town Haven, Kansas, but his home would always be in literature. Thanks to his father’s influence, Herz grew to love books. Thanks to his mother’s, his favorite book would be the bible

Herz App 2/HE LOVES YOUlisten_toyourDecember 31 2010, 01:09:51 UTC
He tried for a complete 180. He tried quiet. He tried submissive. He hated it-he knew it made him look weak and he felt that made it true-but he desperately wanted to be accepted. And yet, nothing seemed to work. His school was small and close-knit and he’d formed a reputation he couldn’t be rubbed clean of. The bullying got worse when he refused to argue. High school became a hell, but Herz saw it as a test from God. He told himself if he could brave the fires of his peer’s tongues and survive without compromising his morals, God would reward him

Herz App 3/4 HOW DO YOU KNOWlisten_toyourDecember 31 2010, 01:12:23 UTC
Skills/Abilities: Holy crap, Herz loves to cook. He knows how to cook very well. He’s also got a knack for home-repair. Because of his interest in baseball, he’s got a good arm and has the potential of being a decent shot. He enjoys writing (usually flowery poetry), but would be far too terrified to share a lick of it. He’s an intelligent boy about some things, and crippling naïve about others, usually when it comes things to street smarts and social cues. Spoken/Written languages: English all the way, baby. He knows a few phrases in German, but he’s not one to ramble them off at random. Items: His clothing (a base-ball T, a pair of jeans, his socks, a silver cross necklace), a pocket notebook and two pens.

Name: Schu Age: 25 Username: ”schunoko” Email: schunoko at gmail dot com IM: schunobi
Character name: Lucas Landcaster Background: Lucas was the middle child of the Landcaster family who were charged with heading the Marzo Scouts, an organization of scouts and rangers who guarded the safe haven city of Marzo and its surrounding forest. Marzo serves as a gateway to exile, a place where those who oppose the rule of the wizards can go to hide and rebuild their lives. The Marzo scouts exist to guide newcomers safely to the village and to keep out any threat, wizard or otherwise. From a young age, Lucas was trained to know the forest and to track and survive in it. Being from a warlock bloodline, another race of mages, Lucas was also trained in magic, specializing in spells to supplement his scouting

Personality: Lucas Landcaster is a hard worker who doesn't like being without a task. He is extraordinarily calm and relaxed, even when under a lot of pressure. Lucas is kind and not a man prone to violence, despite the skills at his disposal. However, he is very territorial and will fight brutally if he or something he holds dear is threatened

Re: Lucas app 3/3 HOW DO I NUMBAR THINGS!?!oneperfecthitDecember 31 2010, 08:14:34 UTC
Third person sample: Lucas liked this particular tree. Its limbs were thick and good for climbing and there was nothing like a good climb to start the day. He hoped he would catch sight of Red while he was up in the branches. His hawk had flown off suddenly and without warning earlier. It was unlike Red to behave that way, but Lucas wasn't concerned. He felt Red simply had his attention caught by something and was investigating. Besides, it wasn't like Red wouldn't come back. He always came back. Still, it didn't mean that Lucas wasn't curious

Name: Mari Age: 26, sob. Username: ramiah Email: ramiah at star-bird dot net IM: RamiahStar
Character name: Meth Rezza
Background: Meth Rezza, and her older brother Nezer, were born in the capital city of a country called Askoupur. Their mother was from a Kouhyaran family of soldiers and traders, and their father was a highly-regarded Aspurran mechanic from the Underground district
( ... )
Personality: At her core, Meth tends to be a guarded person who prefers to focus on her work rather than any social involvements. With new people, she can be aloof and reluctant to open up about herself. Basic rules of social conduct can escape Meth at times, and she finds it wearying and pointless to show interest or concern that she doesn’t feel. This can lead to moments where Meth is unapologetically blunt or sarcastic. As this is not often well received, Meth rarely goes out of her way to make new friends.
With what few friends she does have, Meth is more liable to open up. It takes time and patience for most people to reach this point. Meth often waits long enough to make sure to her satisfaction that the person displays some consistency in having both common sense and lack of most annoying behavioral tics
( ... )
Skills/Abilities: Meth’s deity-gift is best described as mechanical empathy. When used, Meth can gain awareness of the workings of any mechanical device. She can sense immediately when, where, and how it’s damaged, as well as what’s needed to fix it.
Even without her deity-gift, Meth is an extremely skilled mechanic, but as mentioned before, she also grew up with a degree of fighting and weapons training. She is by no means an expert with any of these weapons or hand to hand combat, but she is competent. In terms of weapons, she works best with pistols, rifles, staffs, crossbows, and compound bows. She knows how to use a few different kinds of swords and blades, axes and hammers, but with them her offensive and defensive skills are middling at best.
Meth is sadly lacking when it comes to more domestic skills, having decided long ago she’d only learn enough to make sure she could whip up a quick meal if need be, and never have to wear socks with holes in them.
Spoken/Written languages: Common, though some words from Askoupur are
( ... )
“Yes well, that was an unexpected and rare occurrence,” Soren tried to counter, averting his gaze guiltily. Meth had told him she would get to his task if he could wait thirty minutes for her to finish recalibrating the main engine’s control panel. Soren, thinking himself experienced enough to tackle any problem on his ship, despite the lack of experience and training, had taken it upon himself to try and do it himself.
It had ended badly, enough so that they’d been forced to dock at a backwater city at the coast of Asaria for a week while Meth made the necessary repairs. That one “small thing” that Soren had wanted done and botched trying to do himself had set off a chain reaction of subsequent problems for Meth. Each required at least a temporary fix, if not complete repair before they could take to the air again.
“Well you didn’t expect it. Now, drop the wrench,” Meth said, giving the captain a meaningful look. Soren tried to meet her gaze, and after a moment dropped the wrench back into the tool box with a resigned sigh
