[Mello]

Don't worry, he's only the lighting manager, I'm the director

 

[Mello]

Oh, J-C, could you please add the zombie hand to the first post (you'll be creating the IC thread, I've done it for this one), it'll help us keep track of all threads that are Cold hearty

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Ok I will make the Thread when I get home

 

[Raizi]

Could someone lighten me up on the posting mechanics on this RP?

 

[Zephyr]

Explosive message carrier slaves? ROFL This should be good.

Raizi AFAIK the real start is tomorrow.

 

[Mello]

Like my other RP, there'll be an action thread and a OOC thread. We'll leave this thread for character creating purposes only. I'll post updates with a colour for each person, whenever I deem appropriate (I dont like scheduled updates, as some updates may need more detail than others). The action thread will be strictly IC, so it is more story-like for anyone who dares to read it other than us.

Sound reasonable?

 

[Chaos_Born]

Right, I'm all sorted finally. Intro post will be up shortly

 

[Get of W'soran]

Name: Arkeith Uvrith
Age: 173
Gender: Male

Appearance: Arkeith is slightly above average height and heavily muscled with short jet black hair. His shape features where perhaps once handsome but ugly jagged scars now run diagonally down his face from top left to bottom right.
He is rarely seen without his sword.

Background: Arkeith was born and raised in Har Ganeth as a wealthy highborn, he was trained by the finest swordsmen of the city, even undertaking a period of education by the temple where he served with the Executioners.
Shortly after coming of age his house was destroyed by an ill conceived plot by his father against the Hag Queen Hellebron leaving Arkeith and his Sorcerous sister the only surviving members of the Uvrith family.
After losing everything he owned Arkeith left the city, ignoring the protests of his sister and travelled to Karond Kar where, as a Knight, he served as a Retainer to a powerful but young noble. Sadly history soon repeated itself and another failed plot left Arkeith homeless.
Deciding that he was finished with politics the knight briefly had the misfortune of being a corsair who suffered from extreme sea sickness. It was soon after he permanently came to shore again that he met up with his sibling who had since joined the Dark Covenant of Sorceresses, she offered her brother a job working for the witches but Arkeith quickly made his excuses and bid her farewell. Who wants to work for a bunch of crazy Dark Magic users?
He once again had another short-term career as a fencing instructor but got tired of bratty nobles thinking they knew everything and decided to quit before he lost his temper and killed someone important.

Since then he has instead plied his services throughout Karond Kar quite successfully as a sword for hire, sometimes as a simple bodyguard at other times as an Assassin, and through this Arkeith has become well known as a skilled swordsman.
Lately the jobs he has undertaken have been more often those of a killer than a guardian.


Personality: Arkeith noticeably lacks the sadistic malice of most other Druchii and apparently takes little pleasure in killing. He is an incredibly sarcastic individual often giving useful and mocking pieces of advice. He's very arrogant, still considering himself a noble, and still introduces himself as “Sir” Uvrith. He's also supremely confident in his swordsmanship and whilst he has some honour he's more interested in being alive than looking good.

Equipment
Sword of Uvrith: An ebony coloured two handed sword of around 45 inches that rests in a black scabbard at Arkeith's waist. The weapon is an heirloom of his house and is very well looked after.

Leather Armour: Preferring to rely on speed the elf has got rid of his old plate armour and instead now wears a set of light leather armour, coloured black, with a hooded cloak.

Knives: Arkeith keeps a number of knives hidden around his person being a caution individual.

Fighting style: A talented and extensively trained swordsman Arkeith will almost always rely on these skills when in combat, he is capable of using a crossbow but isn't very good with it. In close range combat he relies on his swordsmanship and speed to survive.

Special Skills: Master Swordsman, Politically Educated, Quiet.

Pros: Extremely Skilled with a Sword, Stealthy, Agile.
Cons: Close-range combatant only, light armoured.

Shevael Redmane
Age: 56
Gender: Male
Appearance: Slightly average build with slim yet muscular appearance has long unkempt hair dyed a dark red with his teeth filed to sharp points giving the appearance of a wild animal . He dresses in an extravagant attire consisting of a blood stained blue captains coat over light armour. On both his hands and feet he wears iron shackles with the one on his right hand with a long iron chain wrapped around his arm.. Has a variety of pistols attached to his clothing as well as a Boarding Axe.


Background: Born in Karond Kar the bastard son of a dark elf noble, Shevael lived a harsh life of misery as a lowborn commoner however he had large ambitions and plotted to kill his father in order to seize his wealth. Unfortunately his brilliant plan was uncovered by his father who in a attempt to devise a fate worse than death sold Shevael into slavery on a corsair ship. Over the next few years Shevael was forced to endure the harsh life as a slave rowing on the ship until in a harsh storm the corsair ship was sunk off the coast of Sartosa.


Washed ashore on Sartosa, Shevael sought out employment on a pirate ship where he thrived fighting alongside the crew who didn't care about his history sailing the seas pillaging and killing, it was here he discovered his love for pistols as he loved how loud and deadly they were. However as much loved being a pirate he longed to return to his homeland to seek revenge on his father, after stealing a ship and gathering together himself a crew Shavael sailed to Karond Kar where he sold his crew into slavery to bribe his way into the city. His first act when he arrived home was to stride into his fathers home and shoot him right in the head killing him instantly during a large banquet, shocked by his actions crowd was stunned no one moving to kill him, using his amazing charisma he enthralled the crowd lying to the crowd about his tragic story and how he was destined to kill his terrible father inheriting his rightful fortune before telling everyone to get out of his property. In the next week Shevael was completely broke again as he had gambled, lost, sold or spent his new found wealth and was back to where he started again, in desperation he turned to the only thing he was good at that would get him gold which was killing so became a hired killer seeking to gain enough fame and fortune to last him a lifetime his stupidity and killing has gathered alot of attention which Shevael hopes will get him the contract that will have him set for life.


Personality: A reckless and eccentric person Shevael has a very large ego constantly trying to gain others attention (hence why he dyed his hair and wears different clothes ) since being a slave he was a nobody he wants to seek fame and fortune. Generally he only cares about gambling, gold and killing.
Equipment: Six pistols concealed on him with enough ammo to fire each pistol 4 times each, also wields a Boarding Axe. Has iron shackle attached to both his hands with a long iron chain attached to the right which is wrapped around his arm.


Fighting style: Shevael views his talents for killing as an art form, so like all good art it has to be seen by all in order to gain attention, as such he will loudly proclaim who he is always going to kill going through the front and usually most crowded places. In a fight he advances recklessly guns blazing which he is highly accurate with able to hit, however his pistols take a while to reload so he usually only gets to fire roughly each pistol once before he swaps to his boarding pick and chain. The long chain wrapped around his arm can be unwrapped which can be used as a whip, he generally uses it to strangle his opponents as well as pulling his enemies forwards knocking them over so he can quickly dispatch them with his boarding axe.

SpecialSkills:
Distracting, usually due to his nature he is very good at getting others attention.
Marksman: Good shot with pistols
Nature Charisma/ silver tongued/ very good liar: so great is his way with words that he usually is able to persuade, convince or lie to just about anyone which is great for getting out of really bad situations.

Pros: Good marksmen, average in close combat, Silver tongued/ great Liar

Con: very bad planning skills, excessively large ego,terrible at stealth, lightly armoured
