We are nothing but the hand of the Emperor, remember?
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Name: Sullis
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Height and Build: 6ā2ā / Lean
Skin Color/Eye Color/Hair Color: White/Golden/Black
Distinct Features: None
*Category: Shiftborne
*Race:Corvus
*Race Details:The Corvi are strange race, solitary, reclusive and secretive wanderers. They are most known for the ability to shapeshift into ravens, indistinguishable from the normal birds. Their other form is also difficult to distinguish from that of a typical Highborne, as if they naturally appear nondescript, although their eyes are usually shade of gold or orange that is the only obvious difference. Between their ability to shift from a nondescript humanoid to an even less obvious bird, the Corvi are often viewed as scoundrels, thieves, and scavengers. Another rumor suggests that they can speak with normal crows, who they use to spy on potential victims. The Corvi themselves do little to dispel these rumors,as some do use their shifting ability for less than moral pursuits. If there is any formal structure amongst the race as a whole, none of the other races have seen nor heard of it, though many grow wary at the sight of flocks of crows, wondering whether or not they may be the Corvi up to no good. The individual Corvus often travels alone, beholden to no one and revealing themselves only to their fellows, who they are far less likely to be able to hide from. If they do travel together, it is usually in very small groups of immediate family or very close friends.
PERSONALITY
Three Positive Traits: Obedient, Loyal, Steadfast
Three Negative Traits: Blunt, Brutal, Resigned
Above all else, Sullis follows orders. He will follow them exactly as stated, for good or ill. However, it is the moments that lack specific orders, or only have vague ones, that reveal something about him. So long as he is not ordered otherwise, Sullis defends his comrades or any innocents as fiercely as he would his own life. He will not take advantage of his shapeshifting to flee a doomed situation, unless he knows that there are reinforcements nearby that could turn around the situation. His enemies are dealt with swiftly and brutally, again unless otherwise ordered. He views and reacts with a calm, almost indifference expression.
OCCUPATION AND SKILLS
*Occupation: Scout
*Deck Style: Might/Ranged
*Weapons: Shortsword (primary) / Pistol (secondary)
*Magic Class: N/A
*Description: Scouts, as the name implies, scout ahead of the main force of an army, in order to find paths around obstacles and watch for traps or ambushes. They are armed and armored enough to be able to meet the enemy and hold their own in a fight, but are better suited for ambushes and smaller flanking engagements. They are knowledgeable in tactics, tracking, and ambushes, and usually able to work alone or in small teams.
List Two Skills Here: (Name your skill and give me a brief overview. This is not for instant attacks or different ways to use your magic- this is just helpful skills that youāve picked up over the years (i.e. sewing, star gazing, cartography, etc.) or other things to go along with your racial traits. You can branch out with this or stay along the same thread you were- this has no effect on your stats or deck- just a bit of personalization.)
Birdās Eye: Given Sullisās ability to shapeshift into a raven, he has an excellent understanding of the lay of the land. The longer he remains in one place, the better he is able to find his way around an area. If he is not otherwise occupied, Sullis will ensure to take the time to fly a region he has newly arrived to.
Nondescript: His other form is nearly indistinguishable from the Highborne races. Only another Corvus is likely to recognize his true race, at least at first glance. He further makes little effort to draw attention to himself, on or off the battlefield.
Dual Nature;- The essence of shiftbornes in the fact that they are of two natures and that their true faƧade is not always the one you see. They are able to transform into another form (if given a B or greater in control this is at will- less than will be more sporadic) and use it as adeptly as their more prominent one.
*Advantages:
Sharp Eyed- Always keenly observant, Sullis is quick to notice when something is amiss, whether it be a rustling bush or a missing object. It is very difficult to sneak up on him.
*Disadvantages:
Recluse- Sullis is quiet, dour, and observing. Most often others find is presence mildly unnerving, whether because of his blank expression or his scrying eyes. Of course, this implies they notice him quickly, and are usually instead briefly scared by his abrupt and unannounced presence in a room.
(If you wish to add more information about your weapons- feel free to do so here but keep in mind that there are no enchanted weapons here (only I hand those out) and nothing is indestructible)
REPUTATION AND PAST
What is your background? Born in the underbelly of the massive city of the Citadel, Sullis lived a fairly hand and mouth life. Following his raceās solitary nature, Sullis left the care of his parents when he was a teenager never to see them again, surviving on petty theft and scavenging throughout the city. He eventually worked his way up more impressive thievery and the occasional murder. Eventually Sullis met his watch when he was caught during a robbery and his opponent turned out to be more then capable of besting him.
How did you join the Army of the Dead? With his arrest, Sullis was well aware that his choices were limited to torture, imprisonment, and death, or the alternative of the Army of the Dead. The latter seemed to be the least painful option to him. Indeed, the possibility of luxurious rewards for service before the eventual death in combat made the offer almost enticing. And Sullis was well aware of what would happen if he deserted, and thus he has remained for several years now.
What is your reputation within the army? (How do your other members view you- and no one is an enigma the army is small enough that we have all heard tales of everyone in it. Yes this is IC information- so other characters would have heard this and interpreted it thusly.) Sullis is an oddity, but a decent soldier, and that much as granted him a grudging respect. His superiors know that he will follow orders without question or hesitance, while his comrades know that he will fight hard with them regardless of the odds. However, his reclusive nature and the understanding that he will always put orders over any loyalty to comrades make it difficult for any true sense of camaraderie.
