0 · 148 views · located in Earth

a character in “ElvenBane”, originally authored by TheNoremac42, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

BASICS
Name: John Carveton
Nickname: The Humans and Silvians (that is, the few that know he exists) call him “Hermit”, while the Orocs know him only as “The Phantom”
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Rank: N/A
Race: Human
Motivation: Survival, and the death of every Oroc for the murder of his family.
Defensive/Offensive: He follows his own personal code of battle which he calls “The Rules of War”, which has a mixture of defensive and offensive tactics.
Class: Hermit

APPEARANCE
Eyes: Dark brown
Hair: Black
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 250
Skin Tone: Tanned
Build: Lean, fit, sturdy, and healthy from living off the land.
Body Markings: Usually wears camouflage face paint
Voice: Rough, deep, and with a hidden layer of intelligence.
Description: Clad in a reinforced leather tunic, boots, leggings, gloves and wool cloak while wielding a large Bowie knife, he stood as a very imposing figure. Leaves, twigs, and other vegetation covered his clothing, acting like camouflage. A thick dark beard covers most of his weather-worn face, while coal black hair cascaded to his jaw line. His brown eyes betrayed an intelligent and civilized demeanor, despite his appearance, along with an abundance of experience for his relatively young age.


MENTALITY
Quirks: Doesn’t like technology
Fears:Crowded and/or enclosed places.
Likes: Being in the wilderness, killing Orocs, and a good deer haunch.
Dislikes: Has a fiery hatred towards Orocs
Personality: John, despite first appearances, is a very caring person. He is willing to help complete strangers in need. However, he is also a loner and does not work well with others. Being a bit eccentric from living in isolation for so many years, he may be a bit hard to understand. He tries to live a relatively simple, down-to-earth life.
When the time comes, John can be cold and calculating, especially when it comes to dealing with Orocs. He is willing to stalk one for days if it means discovering one of its weaknesses or even getting a chance to kill it. His greatest motivations are survival and vengeance.

EQUIPMENT
Armor: Reinforced leather and wool clothing
Casual Clothing: See above
Carried Items: Water skin, provisions (food, extra clothing, etc.), flint and steel, compound-bow and arrows, and a large Bowie knife.
Main Weapon:
Name: N/A
Type: Sword
Made of: hand-crafted from flex steel.
Length: about three feet.
Weight: 35 lbs.
Description/Info: It is a simple blade made out of scavenged flex steel from a junk yard, but has been hardened and sharpened to be an incredible killing tool. Because of the natural hardness of the alloy, it can cut clean through flesh, bone and even most regular types of steel.

COMBATIVENESS
Natural Talents:
Intelligence: Able to assess a situation or problem, and create a suitable solution for said problem. Adept at creating booby traps, tracking, and strategizing.
Endurance/Stamina: Able to run for long distances at a time, withstand harsh weather, and endure a certain amount of physical pain.

Skills:
Survivalist: Knows how to survive in the wild… He can create shelter, fire, hunt, and knows which plants are edible and how to use them.
Awareness: Has acquired a keen sense of smell and hearing; both invaluable in the wild.
Patience: Waiting for several hours at a time to ambush game has given him a quality of patience.
Stealth: Hunting game with only a knife and bow and arrow and avoiding danger has made him very stealthy and light on his feet.

Weaknesses:
Lack of team-skills: Living in the wilderness alone for many years has left him better suited for acting on his own, and not able to work well with others.
Primitive equipment: Doesn’t carry any firearms, metal armor, and refuses to get any augmentations.


HISTORY
Life:
Martial Status: Widower
Family: Deceased
History: John was born into a farming family almost three decades ago. He lived in relative peace with his three brothers, two sisters, and parents growing a subsistence crop until he married a young beautiful woman when he was nineteen. However, just a year after they had their first child, a band of Orocs attacked their home. John was away working the fields at the time, and returned to the bloodied, half-eaten bodies of his family and his home in a charred ruin. In tears he burned the remains of his family and gathered what clothes, food, and supplies (including his older brother’s Bowie knife) and fled into the wilderness. Since then he has lived as a hermit, constantly moving to avoid being discovered by bandits and Orocs, hunting and gathering food, learning his to survive in the wild, and watching the Orocs from afar – plotting his revenge.

So begins...
