Sod-off Nobbs

The ultimate pawn--whose pawn he is, however, remains to be seen.

0 · 187 views · located in Retha (An Alternate Earth)

a character in “Retha: Machines and Magic”, as played by Fabricati.Diem

Description

Age: 22
Race/Species: *Probably* Human
Abilities/Advantages: Prodigal talent in designing machinery
Weaknesses/Disadvantages: Inability to actually construct said machinery
Other: There have been a few instances where Sod-off seems to be filled, even possessed, by extreme amounts of magic; he cannot control it, and he never remembers when it happens. In his home town in Ciredia, he was considered an avatar.
Race/Species Info: Despite the fact that one couldn't tell his race by looking at him--most aren't even entirely sure he's mammalian--he has all the traits of what could be described as human and is no different, save his repulsiveness and smell which both might be considered genetic traits inherent to those of a Sod-off variety.

Sod-off is the sort of person natures looks upon then weeps. Whether natures weeps in pity or in horror is unclear, though either way, the result is the same. He is not so much a man as he is a collection of rags, bones, and squishy bits collectively and affectionately known as "Soddy Nobbs."

Personality

Sod-off is nice, really, in that he's too simple and aimless to be anything but harmless. Charming and clueless, if one crossed a puppy, a skunk, and cabbage, you'd probably get his twin brother. He's willing to do just about anything you tell him to, though you'd best be careful with complicated instructions.

Equipment

Sod-off is very poor, with only his I-guess-you-could-call-them clothes, endless pockets (full of a variety of you-never-know-when-you-might-need-a-shoehorn type objects), and uniquely pervasive smell to his name.

History

After living in the street for most of his life, everything changed at the age of 18. While watching a parade, suddenly his eyes began to glow as Holy Matron Fiona passed by, and he leapt through the crowd on to the street. Before the guardians of the Matron could stop him, he had reached her; and to everyone's surprise, he pulled off her wig and mask. A slender, dark-haired man with a mechanical eye lay underneath the guise, and he stared, dumbfound, at the crowd before he tried to bolt into a nearby alley. Sod-off, eyes still glowing, caught him quickly. As soon as the impostor was apprehended, however, his eyes returned to normal. He didn't remember what had happened, and couldn't even explain how he'd ended up in the middle of the street. Townspeople hailed him as an avatar, touched by the Goddess, and tried to Saint him. Unable to appreciate or even understand his sudden fame, he fled to Anastoria--where he's lived in much the same way in different streets and gutters ever since.

So begins...
