Altholo, the Dark City - OOC SIGNUP

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby itsaforeverthingxx on Mon Jul 20, 2009 3:08 pm

Start posting after character creation: altholo-the-dark-city-currently-accepting-t25978.html#p723533

All over the world, no matter who you may be, or where you are, everyone is aware of the almost eerie disappearances of hundreds of people every month. Eye witness accounts describe people simply disappearing in broad daylight, grabbed by some unknown entity and dragged into a rip of some kind. Spouses are disappearing while sleeping next to their partners, children are vanishing while only inches from their parents, and some are coming home from school or work and never being heard from again. Some think it’s the work of God or Aliens, but only a handful know the truth behind these strange disappearances.

A world unlike our own is kidnapping humans in hope of finding the special few who posses certain telekinetic powers. The dark city known as Altholo, where mythical creatures are all but to common, Vampires drink more than just blood, and Demons with unspeakable power’s rule over want to take back the world of light once more; the humans world. Knowing the humans weakness for compassion and loyalty to their own kind, the Demons and high ranking mythical creatures of Altholo have decided to find these special few humans and use their powers to destroy their own race and to make the humans bow down to the true rulers of their world.

So far, over a thousand humans have been captured and put into a comatose sleep. While asleep, they are injected with a hormone that exponentially increases whatever telekinetic power they may possess. After this, they are released into Altholo to fend for themselves, while being monitored by special scouts to see just exactly how strong they can be when in danger or feeling extreme emotional distress. For the humans who show no power whatsoever, or form bonds within the city or outer limits of Altholo with other creatures, death is instant and mandatory by all scouts. Some unfortunate humans are thrown to the Vampires; slavery is banned, for Altholo has no use for wondering humans who are powerless. Those who show power are no more fortunate. They are captured and their power is tested to the limit, a limit close to death.

Some Demon’s have strayed from Altholo and into the human world, waiting and watching for the time to attack. Some have detoured away from taking over the human’s world, forming close bonds with humans and willing to protect them at all costs. Demons and creatures have rebelled in Altholo, taking in humans (power’s or no powers) and trying to get them home in one piece.

Will you be part of the rebellion? A scout made to keep track of a certain human? A powerful Demon who has no care what the humans do? Maybe a part of the group working to train the humans? A Elf or Vampire whose simply been caught up in all this? A human still in his/her world, who does or does not know he’s sitting across from a rogue Demon of Altholo? Or maybe one of the poor humans being bred to destroy the very world they love so much?

Whoever you are, it’s a battle of the fittest, and if something is not done soon, everyone will lose.


WILL YOU BE NEXT?

CHARACTER CREATION

Name: First Middle and Last name required

Age: Ages can range from 5 to 1000

Race: Human, Elfe, Dark Elfe, Demon? The options are endless. As long as the race fits in the game, you can have it.

Gender: I think this explains itself

Role: Hero, spectator, evil, pawn? If you havn't established exactly who you wish your character to be, then just leave this blank.

Personality: Please, please, please be in depth about your characters personality. Who is he/she? Are they misjudged because of this personality? Remember, flaws in personality make for good characters. Sometimes the characters portrayed as 'completely innocent and niave,' make for boring characters.

Appearance: A picture will be fine, as well as an in depth description. Nothing to fancy.

Abilities: Now here's where it get's a little complicated. If you're a mythical creature, Demon, Vampire, Elfe, etc. Then basically power's can range in all different perspectives. From great strength, to giant balls of energy being flung in someone's direction. If you are a human, it all depends on your telekentic abbility. Maybe you can move objects with your mind? Blow thing's up? Start fires? It's all up to you.

History: What had they been doing up untill this point?

Allies: Who are they friends with? I guess for this one, it would have to go through game play to decide who are your allies and who are your enemies.



RULES & GAMEPLAY

1. Please, no one sentence post's. Atleast keep up with the length of the thread the person responded to you with.

2. No Godmodding.

3. You can kill another character, but only with the character owners permission.

4. There is no limit to how powerful a character can be, but a character can not have the power to blow everyone up and defeat every character he comes into battle with.

5. Everyone is welcome to jump into any thread, no one is refused simply because two people are having a one on one RP.

6. Romance is encouraged, but don't let your character forget what their purpose in this story is.

7. Swear words, curses and such are allowed

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Aryx Noi on Mon Jul 20, 2009 5:39 pm

I will join this.

Name: Verbtor Estdra Droem, more commonly known as "Fooligan"
Age: Unkown exactly, maybe around 800 or so.
Race: Demon.
Gender: Male
Role: Evil.
Personality: Crazy, cynical, evil. He definitely is not a "second chance" guy, more of a "do what I say or lose your eyes" guy. He is very foolish (see where the name comes from?) and idiotic sometimes, but most of the time is a very big threat.
Appearance: Image
Abilities: Teleportation, but not really good teleportation. Most of the time it's used as an escape plan, seeing as he can't control where he goes. He can throw a sort of dark substance, which will light on fire on contact with living tissue. He can shapeshift as well, but only for about thirty minutes.
History: No one knows where Fooligan was born, or created even. Some say he's the reincarnation of part demon, part vampire, and almost fully devil. His name "Fooligan" came from an Elven fisherman who made fun of him. That fisherman was never seen again. One time, Fooligan was banned from Altholo for destroying many of its landmarks, and was said to have gone to hell. That was a myth, as he had stayed in Altholo and just hid in secrecy.
Allies: Anyone Demon, well, anyone Demon who can also keep their mouth shut about him still being there.

Blythe Cross & J'aret DeTour

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby itsaforeverthingxx on Mon Jul 20, 2009 7:36 pm

Name: Blythe Cross

Age: 18

Race: Human

Gender: Female

Role: As of yet, she’s a confused human roaming Altholo.

Personality: Perky and a bit of an enthusiast, Blythe can never learn how to just keep her mouth shut when she’s in trouble. Blythe tells it how it is; she doesn’t necessarily go out of her way to be mean to people, but she’s certainly not doing herself any good insulting her attackers. First impressions aren’t her strong doings; often time’s people catch her in pretty embarrassing situations which leads to yelling; normally on Blythe’s end. Her sister used to say Blythe’s mouth would get her nose ripped off one day and Blythe’s only hope is that they aim above the nose. At least then she can wear dark shades.

Appearance:
Image

Image


Abilities: Blythe is one of the few humans to possess the telekinetic ability known as Aerokinesis, which allows her to manipulate the air and gas around her. There is a downside however, she has to be under extreme emotional or physical distress before her power’s can reach their full extent.

History: Blythe was your average Plain Jane. She lived in Sydney, Australia with her parent’s and her older sister. She was never a stand out sort of girl, she had friends and drove around with them pumping the music up as loud as it would go just like any other teenager. The only weird thing to ever happen to her was when she was five and had her four imaginary friends. Things were simple, she liked it that way, and she was even in University doing her Bachelors in Journalism. Now, she wished she had stayed home that day like her sister had wanted her to. It was a typical morning; she was late for University again and needed to get out of the house before eight if she wanted to make her morning class. Blythe had heard all about the odd disappearances but paid no mind; that would never happen to her. The last thing she remembered were her shoulders being pulled back by something; her feet were lifted from the ground and no matter how she tried she just couldn’t scream. She remembered dropping her bag as the bus started to pull up, everything slowing down and passerby’s gasping as they looked at her. The next thing she knew, she was being poked by an odd looking old woman with pointed ears and dark slits for eyes. Grabbing the nearest thing she could find, she had pegged some sort of rock at the woman, hitting her directly in the forehead, making the woman scream in pain. Launching up from the ground, still dizzy, Blythe bolted to escape but had only ran into more trouble when she had knocked over some sort of cart filled with food. Blythe took shelter in an abandoned home of some kind, praying somebody, anybody, would wake her up from this nightmare.

Allies: None as of yet.


----------------------------------------------------------------------


Name: J’aret VeTour

Age: 170, but look’s to be in his late teens.

Race: Fire Demon.

Gender: Male.

Role: Scout. He takes no role are heroin or enemy, he is simply following his orders.

Personality: J’aret, although stand offish towards most, will make a snide comment when felt it is needed to bring the snub and boorish down to a humans level. He considers himself of very high status and has neither a dislike towards humans, but nor does he like them. J’aret has a smooth voice that often sends shivers down the spines of even the most fearsome Demons and likes to always be in control of a situation. He often takes creatures as they come, rude and ugly, in most cases. He will not hold back in a fight, and will do almost anything possible (whether it be lying or confusing his enemy) to win the prize.


Appearance:
Image


Abilities: J’aret has the ability to manipulate fire to do whatever he bids. Often times, he can encase his entire body and sword in fire, warding off his enemy with a single blow. However, with this ability comes some weakness. While he can control any fire he wishes, no matter how big a blaze, he cannot control it unless there is a fire already started or he can gather enough heat in the air to someone set something flammable ablaze.

History: J’aret had no interest in being a scout for the leaders of Altholo. His father, whom is a high ranking Demon in Altholo, had suggested that maybe he contribute something to the destruction of the ones who had taken their true home away long ago. J’aret remembered stories his Gama (Grandmother) had told him of the human world, a world where light shone from the sky everyday and left at night, only to rise again the next morning. He had heard of Demon’s venturing into this world, but the thought of humans coming to his was intriguing. Upon his training J’aret was the top of his class, being an excellent fighter, he was the perfect scout. Upon arrival to the inner city of Altholo for his first job, J’aret was not happy with the idea of watching a girl who held little importance to Altholo. She was a human and humans were as worthless as the rats his father poisoned in their home every few weeks. It was his job to scout and report back of any improvement from this girl and two other humans. The days went on and J’aret held little faith that these stupid creatures truly held such powers are telekinesis. J'aret often moves between the world's of Altholo and human's world, mostly out of curiosity and to keep track of the Demon's and creatures whom have made the human world thier new home. Why the leader's of Altholo would want to make this horrible and simple world their new home, even he cannot understand.

Allies: J'aret see's Blythe as neither ally nor enemy, she is simply a human who may or may not possess telekenetic abilities.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Count me in ^_^

Name: Vincent D'Nozo
Age: 516
Race: Dark Elf
Gender: Male
Role: Spectator
Personality: Vincent is very egotistical, and is quite vain as well. On more than one occasion, he has tortured someone to death in public for insulting his artwork. Still, as long as he as a drawing pad in one hand and a cup of strong black coffee in the other, Vincent is otherwise a fairly easy-going guy. He is quite obsessed with perfecting his artwork, to which he takes extreme objection to criticism.
Appearance: Vincent is very handsome, tall and thin, with sharply chiseled facial features. He has smooth, jet black skin and perfectly cut snow white hair. His eyes fluctuate between dull red and pale amber. He always dresses in the finest clothes available, typically garbing himself in a pale blue business suit. To Vincent, the song 'Every Girl's Crazy About a Sharp Dressed Man' can only refer to him.
Abilities: Vincent has very few magical powers, and none of them are particularly powerful, though all useful. He can turn invisible for short periods of time and can temporarily charm humans if they aren't smitten with him upon first sight. He also has a photographic memory, though that has nothing to do with magics.
History: Vincent spends much of his time in New Jersey, for he does not care much for the political intrigues of Altholo. When he first began to immerse himself with the inner workings of the Dark City, he was greatly smitten with the machination, but his love for such drama quickly soured. Now, he'd rather just forget the whole business altogether.
Allies: Lilly Morgana, an Elven sculptor. She is the only one that Vincent allows to criticize his work.
Drop your shield!

Name: Vena Magaske Aeldervia.

Age: 200. Her physical appearance is that of a twenty year old.

Race: Elf.

Gender: Female.

Role: Something of an antihero carved from the image of a heroine. To put it in terms of a moral compass, Vena would fall solidly under 'chaotic neutral', and is likely to fall into place as good or evil as the story progresses.

Personality: Calm and resourceful, Vena is quick to resolve any issue and use any means possible to do so. She is not one to cross in combat or debate, and is lethal with any number of weapons. She resists temptation and often, emotion, overcoming her fear and anger and submitting only to positive influences.

Appearance: Vena is very tall and slender, as elves are wont to be, with some form of classic curves. She has clear, pale skin which seems to emit a faint glow and long, straight blonde hair to her waist. Her eyes are large and slanted, with constantly shifting jewel-toned irises which seem to always reflect the ocean. Her features are delicate but striking and she is clad in a silvery-grey cloak designed to shield her from unfriendly eyes, as well as a light, fitted tunic and lightly armored leggings, of the same material. Her shoes are flat and embellished to resemble leaves.
Image

Abilities: With the ability to vanish completely from sight, Vena tends to sneak around with no problem. Elfin blood gives her the ability to manipulate light, air, water and earth in her favor, or, at least, whenever the temperamental elements allow her to control them. She is also able to blend into any surrounding, rather like a chameleon, when she does not wish to disappear. and she can make people her puppets...if very, very sporadically.

History: Born to high-placed parents and raised in a quiet city in the misty forests of another realm, Vena is among those few struggling to decide her place in the universe. After a century, Vena was betrothed to a man she did not love. To resist killing either herself of him, she ran away from home and joined the ranks of beings in the city, looking for a place to belong.

Allies: Vena has befriended an empathic human girl named Mae, whom she stole from Earth to save her from the clutches of the demons. Other than a few scattered acquaintances, Vena is friendless. Mae, disguised as a native, follows her everywhere.

Name: Alex winters

Age: 19

Race: A human with abilities

Gender: male

Role: loner rebel

Personality: Alex is a loner by choice; he’s never really felt comfortable in a team where someone else’s life is in his hands, but this doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care about people. On the other hand by trying to keep people away from him he believes that he is actually doing them a favour. Alex’s habitation in the city has made him addicted to cigarettes which are in short supply on this side. He hates the members of the dark city, their killing and torturing disgusts him. Alex is quite intelligent and a year or two in around the outskirts of the dark city have helped him understand most of its twisted population.

Appearance: Image

Abilities: Alex can create and control fire to a high degree.

History: Alex was born as an only child in London, England. Living with his parents was quite nice, and at school he was fairly smart and with his peers he was reasonably popular. Throughout his life he has only had one real friend, a guy called Ben. One day when he was seventeen though his life changed forever, he was a few months away from going to university to study English literature when one day when he was out with his best friend something came for him. It ripped his friend into shreds right in front of his eyes and then it took him. After being released he sought to escape recapture and then extract his vengeance on this captors, but so far a year has yielded little results.

Allies: none

Re: Altholo, the Dark City - OOC SIGNUP

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby FighterChimp on Wed Jul 22, 2009 1:15 am

This sounds fun. I believe I'll join

Name: Matthew James Chancellor

Age: 30

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Role: 'Neutral evil', he'll help or betray anyone if it means he gets to leave the Dark City, but he has a sense of justice and won't kill or disfigure unless in extreme circumstances.

Personality: Matthew's overwhelming character traits are cynicism and being pessimist. He's near permanently depressed, and his main form of expression is in dark humor. Even before he was kidnapped, he resigned himself to the fact that his life would most likely end badly. Matthew dislikes the fact that he has a power, citing it as 'another compilcation in my complicated life.' However, he won't hesitate to use it if it means his eventual escape. An ideal life for Matthew would be a quiet life in a small apartment with no one to ever bother him. He deals with people in rather blunt ways, honestly stating his opinion of them. However, he isn't intentionally rude-he just seems to channel negative emotion in a form beyond his control.

Appearance: http://media.photobucket.com/image/anime%20man/HowaidoShika/1200401197754.jpg?o=73 (apparently you can;t post images from photobucket, so just copy paste the url if you don't mind)
Matthew has pale skin due to the fact that his long, unkempt black hair colors most of his face. He always wears a plain suit, coat, shoes, and gloves. Upon clearing away his hair, Matthew has a thin nose, thin lips, and small blue eyes. His skin appears not exactly suited for it's owner, giving him a permanent awkward appearance. His hair has a shine to it that defies the rest of Altholo's gloom.

Abilities: Matthew has the power of physical manipulation on the atomic level. While on an extreme level he could, say, transform a block of concrete into something else entirely, or combine several buildings into one skyscraper, he has nowhere near that level of control, and must make physical contact with something to change it. At his current level of power, he can join the atoms of several objects, split them apart, and with some concentration, change an object into something similar to it.

History: Matthew was born in London, and lived and has lived a very quaint, boring life up till now. His parents were bankers, all his grandparents were dead or in mental homes, he graduated high school with B's and got into an ordinary college overseas.(curiously enough, when asked about what college he went to, Matthew often changes the answer, as if it were so boring he doesn't even bother to remember.) He never married or sustained a relationship for longer than three months. Despite knowing about his power from a young age, Matthew rarely ever used it, as he considered it more of a nuisance than a gift. After he graduated college, he went back to London and became a police officer. From age twenty-two to thirty, he worked as a police officer, until one day, returning from work, he was snatched by someone and pulled into Altholo. A demon known as Lieto Bagnare took a strange liking to Matthew, snatched him up and gave the pursuing scout the slip. From then on, Lieto has trained Matthew in the use of his abilities and assisted him in his efforts to escape.

Allies: Lieto Bagnare, the demon, and all of his allies.

Name: Lieto Bagnare(Full name Lieto Bagnare Banchetto Evasione Maestro) He prefers to be called Li or Mr. Bagnare.

Age:627

Race: Demon

Gender: Male

Role:'Chaotic neutral,' takes a role in politics but will generalyl do whatever the hell he wants to cause some enjoyment for himself. Regarded by others as something of a wildcard: he's useful to have on your side, but there's no guarantee he will be.

Personality: Lieto is, in a few words, undeniably and irreparably insane. His main goal in life is to cause chaos and anarchy to amuse himself. He doesn't particularly want others to be hurt, but doesn't really give a damn if they are. Some people think he's working toward a greater goal-in assuming so they would be dead wrong. Lieto will take the side of whoever seems to present the most enjoyable experience. Lieto is strangely fascinated in Matthew, as 'Matty' is Lieto's opposite, thus causing him to help out Matthew for what seems to be the sole reason of figuring out how he ticks.

Appearance: Image
Lieto, for all purposes appears to be a man clad in an elaborate suit, bowler hat, and full face white mask most of the time. This is Lieto's preffered form. He also masquerades as a black cat and a crow while in disguise.

Abilities: Lieto can instantly shapeshift into any living thing he has seen and still remembers. Unfortunately, Lieto is terrible with faces. He can also manifest objects, such as his mask, but a conjured gun wouldn't fire, and a conjured knife wouldn't cut. Injuries suntained in one form will be passed on when he shapeshifts. In addition, Lieto can temporarily become intangible, objects passing through him harmlessly. Lieto has the control to only do this to certain parts of his body, otherwise he'd sink right through the floor. This isn't c\purely an escape tactic-Lieto can phase out his arm, reach inside your body, solidify his hand, and crush your heart inside you before pulling out.

History: Lieto's past is a rumor in Altholo. The rumour has it that, at age ten he coldheartedly murdered his parents for the sole reason of 'seeing what was inside them.' Thankfully since then, his anatomical curiosity has subsided and he now exists and thrives in the underworld of Altholo, and, so it is said, only showing his face to those he wants to see him. Lieto has never been caught when he doesn't wish to, as his combination of talents makes it nearly impossible to capture him. At the moment, he focuses on aiding the escape of Matthew Chancellor, with the aid of the Altholo underworld. The leaders of Altholo are wary of Lieto, his powers having occasionally helped their interests. Lieto does seem to take care not to 'piss off the folks in charge of this mess too much, otherwise I'd be something of a fugitive-more than I already am, ya see.'

Allies: Many contacts throughout the shadier areas of Altholo, through which Lieto can call upon numerous services.

CHARACTER CREATION
*my first on RPG!*

Name: Lua Lulu LaFluer (try saying THAT five times fast)

Age: 136

Race: Patchwork Demon

Gender: Female.

Role: A skin collector, for her own personal gains, but mostly a spectator.

Personality: Lua has a bit of a split personality. She is sweet, bubbly, happy and sometime times really silly. She is however a sociopath and cannot understand that other creatures have emotions or that they can feel. When people become emotional, she feels uncomfortable. Sometimes this is a good thing, when she sees this she stays playful most of the time, and it can help cheer people up,

Appearance: She is short at 5’0, and her body is slender. She has midnight blue locks of hair that is just past her shoulders, but almost always pulled up into a loli style pig-tails. Her skin is fabric in the most literal of senses, Mostly a creamy satin, but as she finds other fabric, she tents to cut them into a pretty shapes, or hearts and safety pin or sew it on. The same can now be said for the humans skin that she is now cutting into heart shapes and safety pinning them to herself. So far she has two, on pinned to her inner thigh, and the other pinned to the left side of her neck.

Abilities: None that she really knows of. Things sometimes happen when she is upset, but she has the heart of a demon...unfortunately she doesn’t have the mind to remember how to use anything she might have.

History: Lua was created 136 years ago by a scientist in the Altholo realm. The scientist used a human child’s heart, the twist is that the child was possessed by a demon. The exorcism failed miserably, and the family gave up hope in the spiritual relief. They finally decided to seek medical help instead. The scientist posed as a doctor and came to earth, taking the human child away to “The Hospital” where he removed her heart for his own studies. An odd then happened once the heart had been removed...it kept beating. This gave the scientist a brilliant idea! He would use this heart to create his own daughter. He spent a year working on the perfect body, perfect eyes, everything, but Since he didn’t want to waste materials on something that might not work, he used fabric instead of human skin. It worked, when he placed the heart inside of Lua, she became animated and appear alive.
It wasn’t too much later that the scientist decided to make another, and use real skin this time. After a few years of waiting to find another possessed child, he found one. The Scientist made another daughter, using the flesh of a young blonde woman with perfect skin. Everything went as well as planned, and he named the new creation Lili This was all well and good till the two girls met. Lua, not able to understand why her sister was granted real flesh was furious and locked herself in her room. It wasn’t till much later in that first night that Lua reappeared...in her sister’s room. She stood there, one handed, having removed her right arm, clutching a cleaver in her left. In one swoop Lua chopped off the sleeping Lili’s arm.
The scientist came running, ready to attack whatever intruder that dared to harm his daughted. When he burst through the door, the image burned into in mind. His newest creation was screaming and flailing on her bed, the white sheets turned red with blood. His Lua, his little Lolita was sitting on the floor just a few feet away, calmly sewing her sister’s arm onto the stub where she had removed her own arm.
“Why?” was the only words he could muster as he clutched Lili in his arms.
“I wanted it” Came the reply...and that was simply that for Lua.

Allies: None as of yet. We will see what happens.

But be careful she can be very very sneaky.

History: Up until now Michico has been nothing but a by stander watching as the humans get exploited.She stays close to the shadows and travels the city at night, acting as a ghost Michico has occasionally helped a few fellow humans from harm, and at the same time was the cause of why they were in distress. Hardly anyone has ever heard of her and when they have it was a small whisper that did not travel far.

Name: Jericho,Steven,Baal

Age: 430

Race:Demon

Gender:Male

Role: Undaunted Spectator. (basically neutral,unless proven otherwise.)

Personality:Jericho is a man of many faces, and these faces can change within a blink of the eye from the happy-go-lucky, funny guy to the super serious, don't-mess-with-me man. Usually the face that is seen is super serious, since he has no real friends he is always watching from the shadows.

Appearance: Image

Abilities: Jericho has a surprising amount of strength, being able to lift cars up off the ground. There is also a another power he carries with him, he is able to dismantle the molecules in his body and spread them out into the surrounding air. This allows him to move about with out being seen or heard. This is also a defensive and offensives ability.

History: Jericho is used to the simpler ages, where technology is not a real factor in the way fighting is done. Being of pure royal demonic blood, he believes in a fight the two fighters need to fight as equals. So he will face off with his opponent with only what they can do.Such as melee fights to long range magical fights. In the latest century he had realized that his old ways are commonly useless in this era. So now he just watches people and other races mingle, staying in the shadows he is like a hidden guardian that never sleeps.But is he a guardian, of course not he cares for him self.Jericho looks like a child and is commonly mistaken as a twelve year old.Others think he is insane(humans mostly) since he walks around in plate mail,silk and leather. Most understand and know what and who he is.

Allies:N/A

Age: 130, but looks 13

Race: Elfe

Gender: Female

Role: Scout/Part Of the Rebellion

Personality:Tory is a friendly, kind girl who has a firey temper. She has often been misjudged because of this. When she gets into a temper, it will often take her an hour or two to calm down. She will hold a slight grudge against the person who sent her into that rage, because she knows it's unhealthy for her. She's a bit of a fitness freak, but she can be as lazy as any other person.

When the rebellion started, Tori immeadiently joined. She found that her job was a handy cover-up, and could also be used to spy. Now, she is "working" as a scout, and also searching for humans.

Hello all, I was hoping to join this rp if I could. I have noticed a distinct lack of a certain fantasy creature in all the fantasy roleplays around here..you see plenty of demons, elves, humans and all..but no orcs..so, I provided one here for you're consideration.

Name: Throar Heilgrind

Age: 80

Race: Orc

Gender: Male

Personality: Brutal,when he views something as a obstacle he makes sure that it is destroyed so that it will not bother him again. To him there are no friends, only those who are not enemies. He is a professional warrior and hunter through and through

Appearance:Image

Abilities: The only thing that Throar knows about magic is that it can kill him quickly if he does not prepare for it. His skills lay in his natural strength, endurance and training. His thick skin provides protection against the elements and dulls the impacts from blunt weapons. His huge, musculare frame provides him with enough strength to tear most things apart with his bare hands and making his fists as dangerous as any mace. When excited or injured to a certain point, he goes into a beserk like state where he feels no pain and attacks without caution with his bare hands.

History: Orcs are perhaps the most feared and hated of all species, their love of battle and ruthless, brutal ways has earned them the eternal animosity of all other races. Throar is no different, born into a large orc tribe, he was trained since the time he could walk in the ways of war. WHen he came of age, he made his way out into the world as a mercenary or hired sword as most of his people did..hunter, tracker, assasin, whatever needed to be done, for enough gold, he would do it .
Allies: None currently.
