Name: Coralie
Age: 49
Race: Elf
Concept:
Experience: 30

Bio:
"Oh, I don't know who my birth parents were, but does that matter? I found a father and he was a good one," inwardly, Coralie frowned however, Gordie never told her where she was found, always proposing a new Disc of Origin. At least he had kept the parent story the same… “They didn’t have a choice but to abandon me and I’m okay with that.” Gordie was a good father to her and she sure as Malice enjoyed her work. “Life’s nice and easy for me. Sometimes money is tight… Yeah, I noticed you eyeing me, that’s right… only half a suit of armor. At least this way it’s comfortable enough to wear! …I’ll buy the rest soon, Hel, one good job and I may even get something better!”

Coralie was 'happened upon' by a daring rogue of a human as no more then a wide-eyed newborn and named for the coral pendant she "simply wouldn't let go" of. Coralie learned much of the thief's trade from her father, from picking locks, to fast footwork and on to manipulating people.

Regrettably, the proper handling of money was not one of these… see, her rather adept father figure, Gordian by name, while a skilled rogue was exceptionally horribly with the concept of ‘saving’ to quite an exceptionally greater degree. Gordian’s savvy skills were his saving grace in this matter, managing to keep both he and his newfound daughter in relative comfort. Getting older was slow going compared to Gordian’s own lifespan, but he kept his energy until the end, the two of them gleefully dancing under the noses of shocked merchants and puzzled guards alike long enough to work up a fantastic system. When she wasn’t looting some fool of a merchant blind with her quicker-than-the-eye movements, she’d learned to play distraction for her father while he made off with some poor sap’s rarer stocks.

All good things come to an end unfortunately, Coralie knew she’d someday have to get along without Gordian. Her being an elf and Gordian a human... While she’d just be stepping into adulthood, her adoptive father would be on his way to his own deathbed.

“…It was only supposed to be one job, nice and easy in this backwards, sand-ridden little disc… Let’s be serious here, how much trouble could some frail, trumped up priest give you? Right?” Heaving a frustrated sigh, the table hit Coralie’s forehead… because she’d never admit to hitting anything out of anger or frustration. Thus, the table’s fault for hitting her head on its journey down, “With my own dagger too… That b*****d of an excuse for a priest, took my dagger… the money I worked hard to find… And kicked me out!” She’d been ranting off and on in a shady little tavern, ‘oblivious’ to the changes of drinking partners and neglected drinks. "That was a damn good dagger too..." Melphina was just not her city…

Effect: This Stunt will only work on those targets whose Perception score is less than the character’s Agility score and the stolen item cannot be of great personal importance to the target (such as a family heirloom).

Targets of this Stunt must be able to visibly see the user. If injured while under the effects of this Stunt, the Stunt’s effect on that target ends and they may not be affected by this stunt again for the rest of the in-game day.

Name: Amon Ipsodiel
Age: 30
Race: Elf
Concept: White mage

Bio:
Amon Ipsodiel, the son of a elven charms merchant, was born and raised in Survelle. His mother was a close associate of Samuel Norrison, so it was only natural that the family take care of his only daughter, Corin, after her mothers death during a spider raid. As he was old enough to be trusted with some responsibility, he was often instructed to take care of Corin, and ended up seeing her as a younger sister. As Samuel became more and more distant with his daughter, she spent more and more time at the Ipsodiel household, mainly in the care of Amon. When her father didn't return from an expidition to the nearby Plague Lands, Amon and Leilah, his mother, both argued heavily in favor of taking care of the girl, at least until she was able to care for herself. Alasdair relented, on the condition that Amon "keep her out of trouble." This ended up being impossible shortly after she turned 10. Due to her constant fighting, mostly in self-defense, or the result of exreme taunting from older boys, Leilah pulled her from public education, and began to teach her at home. Of course, Leilah was away much of the time, but Corins studies didn't suffer, as Amon was well studied, and actually understood how Corin learned. Up until his 25th year, Amon kept teaching her, when he could find her, and did his best to keep her in one piece--both physically and mentaly. Around his 23rd year, Amon finally relented, and allowed Corin to learn how to defend herself from one of the retired guards. Luckily, instead of increasing the amount of fighting, her competence actually scared off most of the common elven boys who had been picking on her to begin with. Unfourtunately, it brought her to the notice of the noble boys. They had just begun to "play" with her, when Amon entered college, deciding to study White magic. He excelled in his studies, and completed his second degree in only 4 years. He is returning now, having been gone for nearly 5 years, owing to travel time.

Asura
Name: Kudar Asura
Age: 11
Race: Kindre
Concept: Student, animal prodigy

Bio: The perfect Kindre. Or so he was called by his tribe. He is the descendent of, apparently, every tribe of kindre, a perfect mix. With ancestry of every animal he had exceptional powers branching all of them; if that was the case then why did he have to work so hard at what “came natural to him”? To him his ancestry just made him a mutt. A dragon mutt at that. He liked, however, feeling that he was different from others, not all the time of course, but it was something that he could blame his weaknesses on. Weaknesses like the way he avoids any, and mostly all, fights. “I’m one of every creature, so how could I hurt one of my own?” He would usually ask when he wanted to get out of fighting someone. But those times of pacifism had ended. He had of year of his prime to “stop being so cowardly” before he was shipped of to Ivers College to learn the art of battle.

Beast Mimicry Rank 3
Cost: 1
Pre-Requisite: Wilderness > 3
Use: 1 Mana; burn
Modifier: Wilderness
Target: Self
Range: Personal
Duration: Will = Posts/Turns
Description: The character is able to use his strong connection to the natural world to mimic the traits of animals.
Effect: With each rank of this Stunt, the character may pick one new animal he is capable of emulating. With this Stunt, the character becomes capable of mimicking any of his choice animal's traits (such as an eagle's keen eyes, a chameleon's camouflage, or a cheetah's speed). Traits that require a physical change (such as an eagle's wings/flight or a mouse's ability to get through small spaces) cannot be mimicked.

Cost: 2 for rank 1; 1 for every rank afterwards
Pre-Requisite: Beast Mimicry rank 3
Use: 2 Mana; burn
Modifier: Wilderness
Target: Self
Range: Personal
Duration: Up to one hour per rank
Description: A potent bond with nature and an affinity for certain animals gives the character the ability to physically change into a number of creatures.
Effect: With each rank of this Stunt, the character may pick one new animal which is capable of turning into. While in beast form, the character is capable of doing anything that animal would normally be able to do, yet retains his own intellect, reasoning, and ability to speak. However, he is unable to use any of his own Stunts or Spells. Players with this ability should contact the Judge for the relevant stats of their beast forms.

Pre-Requisite: Beast Form rank 3
Use: 3 Mana; burn

Target: Self
Range: Personal
Duration: Up to one hour
Description: The wild nature of the character's spirit and ability to change into animal forms allows him to fuse several animal and monster characterstics together into a single, powerful form.
Effect: The character may change into one of three forms using this Stunt. He may choose a new form with each new rank he gains. He retains his normal stats, Stunts, Advantage, and Spells and also gains the bonuses and powers intrinsic to each form.

Animals:
Chameleon
Stingray
Wolf
Firenze: The swift, cunning form of Firenze allows the character to move with subtlety, speed, and grace. While in the shape of Firenze, he may move swiftly, walk through dimensional barriers, and become invisible.
Bonuses
Agility +5, Luck +5
Athletics +2, Guile +3, Combat - Melee +1
Wait: 2
Powers
Assassin: Damage against an opponent who is unaware of the character’s presence is doubled.
Flicker: The character is able to move up to 10 feet per Stunt rank in a single Flicker. This is not an act of teleportation; the character is simply moving extremely fast from point to point. Therefore, he cannot move where he would normally be unable to move (up walls, through barriers, vertically further than he could jump, etc.) However, he can seemingly “pass through” other targets, around obstacles, over impassible terrain, etc, moving in a straight line to his target destination quicker than any eye can follow him. This Stunt may be used as an evasive maneuver.
Ghost-Step: Pass through solid non-magical barriers (walls, obstactles, etc.). (1 Mana; burn)
The Second Sight: While this Stunt is active, the character is capable of seeing Auras, unmanifested ghosts, eidolons, gods, demons and other entities and phenomenon which exist solely in the supernatural realms.
Shadow-Step: Become invisible to the naked eye by entering the spiritual realm. While here, the character is considered spirit and may interact with the denizens of this realm normally. Firenze may re-enter the material world at any time, ending this power's effect. (3 Mana; burn)
Wind Runner: Allows the character to travel at incredible speeds so long as he continues moving. Stopping will end the Stunt’s effect. The character will not become tired when moving or even after he stops as he has used his reserves of Mana to fuel his movements. He is still required to eat, sleep, and meet all the other requirements of his body while under this Stunt's effects. The rank of the Stunt determins how quickly he may move over land:
Rank 1: 35 mph
Rank 2: 50 mph
Rank 3: 80 mph
Rank 4: 120 mph
Rank 5: 170 mph

Stamina -3, Charisma -10

Name: Samiri
Age: 15
Race: Gida
Gender: Female (not that it's obvious...)
Concept: "Flicker fighter"

Bio:
Gida Samiri is lucky- her hide is true black. At least, according to humans, it is. This makes co-ordinating her clothes much easier, though more costly. Black materials are much more expensive than, say, blue or red, and rather hard to take care of, if you care about fading. Luckily, Samiri doesn't care much about fading, and also buys un-died linen and wool, for a bit of contrast.

Being born a lizard in a family of mostly toads is rough. She was always the strongest, and had to be very careful not to hurt her siblings when they were playing, as her scales often caught folds of soft hide when they were wrestling, or her claws would scratch during "Catch me." This is why she took to filing her claws down, because, even though they were merely vestigial, they were still rather sharp.

She is currently on her namequest, seeking an adult name, and has been for the better part of the last 5 years. Unfortunately, nothing truly... inspiring... has happened yet. She managed to scrape together the tuition for Ivers College, and hopes to find a name either here, or using the skills she seeks.

Kindred don’t fall easily to ambush, even when magic is involved and Judges should give any Kindre a fair chance to perceive that something somewhere is not right before letting them walk into a trap

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Flicker V (mod=9)
Use: 1 Mana; burn
Modifier: Athletics
Range: Personal - one Flicker can take the character up to 10 feet per Stunt rank.
Duration: One movement
Description: Near instantly, the character is able to move from one point to another faster than the eye can follow.
Effect: The character is able to move up to 10 feet per Stunt rank in a single Flicker. This is not an act of teleportation; the character is simply moving extremely fast from point to point. Therefore, he cannot move where he would normally be unable to move (up walls, through barriers, vertically further than he could jump, etc.) However, he can seemingly “pass through” other targets, around obstacles, over impassible terrain, etc, moving in a straight line to his target destination quicker than any eye can follow him. This Stunt may be used as an evasive maneuver.

(Combat-unarmed) Specialization
Description: The character is exceptionally adept at using a certain skill and is very likely to succeed when using it. The player chooses the one skill which this Advantage affects upon purchasing it.
Effect: Any time the character uses target skill in relation to an appropriate feat, the character receives an extra d20 in addition to the amount she’s currently allowed to roll.


Iron Palm Technique
Description: Using only his bare hands, the character may parry armed attacks as though he were using a shield or a weapon.
Effect: No damage is caused to the characters hands/forearms when blocking an oncoming strike with this Advantage in play.

Fists of Fury II
Description: Your typical brawler has no form, grace, or style and his attacks suffer for it. The character with this Advantage knows where and how to strike to maximize the damage from every punch and kick.
Effect: All unarmed attacks deal an extra 1d6 (per Advantage rank) Physical damage.

Kieran

Name: Kieran
Age: 41
Race: Human
Concept: Soldier

Bio: Born to a poverty ridden "lady" in a cathouse on toruga, Kieran's life began in a difficult position. All the women tried their best to help raise him, and in the end they used some connections to land him a decent job as a crewman (or boy, as he was twelve at that time) on one of their regular's ship. Life as a pirate seemed well suited to him, however, it didn't last long--after only six years he found himself stranded in a strange town with his captain executed and the ship seized by the authorities.

It didn't take long for the money he'd stored from his time on the ship to run out, and Kieran's situation went from bad to desperate. With a recent crack down in the area, few ships would come in to port; those that did had no room or will for an extra crewman, and a broke one at that. Needing some kind of work (food wasn't free!), Kieran eventually managed to sign as a bouncer in one of the many taverns in town. It was there that the offer for his next chapter of life started: an officer in an inter-disk merchant's guard, impressed by Kieran's large stature and easy grin, proposed that he sign on to guard the latest caravan. At the least, the rich kingdom of Ruon on Lyonesse would offer more opportunity than that forsaken town.

Of course, Kieran was all for that. Once in Lyonesse, with a warm recommendation from the guard, he was quickly accepted into one of Ruon's armies. Progressing from there was fairly easy for a man used to a life much harder than what that corner of Lyonesse could offer, and after seventeen years of service, he found himself volunteering for a place in a reinforcement detachment heading for New Gibrael.

New Gibrael was exactly the challenge he'd been looking for. There was almost always something to fight, which helped him keep his edge, and the soldiers here, given that every one had a story to tell about what drove them to such a dangerous, wild home, didn't pry about Kieran's behavior and preferences after his first or second blow off. Four years later, at 39 years old, it was a life Kieran still revelled in, though his now looming retirement often put a damper on things. It was hard to ignore the way his elbows and shoulder joints were sore after any hard practice or skirmish, and how he would take longer and longer to heal after being injured. Then there was that boy. Some kid from across the colony; on one of their nights off duty, Kieran's group had decided to have a get together in one of the soldier's taverns. Another group had also decided to spend their night there, and instead of fighting or ignoring each other, as drunken soldiers are prone to do, everyone mingled rauciously. Well, everyone except HIM. That kid, who'd caught Kieran's eye from the start.

He seemed to be the neglected one of the group. Normally, the ignored person in such a group would be weak or stupid. Not Damon. He was sitting at the bar, fiddling with his mug absently, as though he didn't really want to be in that place. Kieran, also the loner in his group, wasn't sure what he expected to see when he was caught staring, but it certainly wasn't that glare of sincere passion. The kid's eyes radiated a luring presence that Kieran just couldn't resist. Before he knew it, he was at the bar, grining his most charming smile and striking up easy conversation. He wanted to know more about this kid, had to find out what could generate such inspiration. Still smiling and talking, he fed Damon another drink. Then another, and another...

It surprised Kieran almost as much as Damon when he woke up in the kid's house, but he just couldn't stay away. Soon, each day off meant he'd wander over, using every ounce of charm he could muster to win Damon over, to get another night with him. Before either of them knew it, Damon had been a part of his life for two years. Kieran couldn't help but feel that time was running out... Both for his career, and the makeshift relationship he'd pushed onto Damon.

Damon

Name: Damon Brodick
Age: 23
Race: Human
Concept: Tool

Bio: One of the few people to actually be born and raised in the colony, Damon's life story is fairly simple as far as geography and culture changes run. Dad runs a grocery and Mom helps (kind of), with no siblings to add any conflict. When Damon was old enough, he joined New Gibrael's guard. A couple years later, he decided he wanted a place of his own to call home, and with mom and dad's help, he bought a tiny kitchen-and-room deal near the marketplace.

All in all, everything was as average as could be in such a place... well, until Kieran showed up. Damon knew he shouldn't have been drinking with all those strange guards, but this guy from another regiment kept handing him drink after drink after drink... Kieran had him plastered pretty fast. All Damon remembered was the worst hangover in his life the next day, and Kieran somehow living in his house. Was he really such a pushover? Not that it actually mattered, much. Damon actually kind of liked having Kieran around, even though he dragged him into a lot of bad situations; the old soldier gave good advice and (kind of) kept Mom off his back about finding a woman. Unfortunately, Kieran had been kind of edgy lately, and Damon couldn't, despite trying every trick he could think of, piece together or get Kieran to tell him what his problem was.
