Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello everyone. I'm Ilithia's boyfriend in RL; she showed me Gaia, got me to make an avatar and play with it for awhile, then suggested since I'm a big roleplayer, that I make a character out of my avatar and join this guild. It seemed appealing to me, and I liked the idea of doing something more with Gaia than just lurking about in whatever forum I came across. Soooo, ideas struck me and I whipped up all the following about my character, with more to come potentially as roleplay goes on, or more ideas come to mind. But for now, this is what I've done:




Name: Ryjinn
Race: Human
Age: 26
Height: 6'0
Weight: 190 lbs

Description:
Ryjinn was trained as a warrior in the arts of many weapons since he was able to stand and coordinate. His training was given not by family nor traditional soldiers, but an entity who erased Ryjinn's mind of his existance when training was complete, at the age of 20. He can remember very little before that age, except for his combat training. He can only barely remember his mother, who entrusted him with the ice-blue bladed wakizashi he conceals in his yukata. The blade is the only piece of weaponry he carries. However, he can summon etheral weaponry from ancestral spirits. These weapons only last a certain period of time once summoned, then are not summonable for a period of time equal to triple the duration it was in use. The ethereal weapons, which include a Dai Katana, Double-sided Polearm, and a pair of Katars, weigh absolutley nothing, and are bound to Ryjinn once summoned. If disarmed, the weapons act as if completely transparent and non-existant. They cannot be touched, picked up, or otherwise used by anyone. If the weapon(s) are not re-equipped within a few moments, they disappear and Ryjinn must wait to summon them again.

Though an expert at close-range melee combat, Ryjinn is somewhat lacking in social graces. Having only been "raised" by the entity unknown to him, his personality leaves people disturbed and baffled. He has a completely kindhearted and uncaring nature towards violence, combat, killing, and destruction, under the impression that such acts are no different in magnitude or alignment from picking flowers or walking a dog. He talks about such topics with the same attitude, often causing uncomfortable and disturbing input to conversations, and not understanding why people seem so appalled and disgusted. Because of this mindset, Ryjinn is extremely slow to anger, and otherwise seems like a very gentle, kind, and generous person, but has little in the way of friends.

Ryjinn was born with a serious, uncurable affliction. It is a curse brought upon him as a direct result of his father's actions before his birth. His father crossed paths with and killed a black wizard, who, before she died, cursed the man's first born child. This curse acts as an illness of sorts, causing totally random, unprovoked spasms and seizures. Ryjinn will suddenly start coughing violently, signaling internal bleeding- the magic of the curse cutting into his organs. The blood wastes no time in coming out his mouth in large amounts. Ryjinn must be injected with an extremely large dose of a serum he carries around during these spasms, or they can become near-fatal, or worse. As it is, every six hours, Ryjinn must inject himself with a small amount of the serum. If he misses a dose, the spasms come no matter what, and much more violently than they do at random. The effects also seem to rise when Ryjinn pushes himself past his limits, namely during combat. Needless to say, during the spasms and seizures, Ryjinn is completely immobile and unable to do little more than clutch himself in pain or crawl about.

Abilities

Summon Ethereal Dai Katana: Ryjinn summons a long, semi-transparent dai katana to hand, from the spirits of his ancestors. The blade is a shadowy black, lined with erratic streaks of crimson. The hilt appears gold, with a sharp spike at the very base, and the runic symbols for "Domination" etched into the side.

Summon Ethereal Polearm: Ryjinn summons a large, double-bladed semi-transparent polearm. Both points are like shortswords, with a short, dagger-like blade on each side of the point's base. All of the points and blades are silver in color, with red runic etchings down the center of the two points that stand for "Vigilance". The body of the polearm is bronze in color, with a black grip in the middle.

Summon Ethereal Katars: Ryjinn summons two sharp, short semi-transparent katars. Both blades are a dark blue in color, with golden runic etchings down the center that read, "Remorse". The blades look like short swords of sorts, starting wide at the base, and narrowing to the very tip, which splits into two fang-like points. These points are naturally embedded with numbing poison; causing direct, impaling strikes with the points to inject the poison into the victim, making the affected area temporarily numb and unusable. This effect only lasts a matter of seconds, and takes precise accuracy to inject effectively. The handles appear almost chrome-like, with a pointed spike on either side of the base of the blade, allowing more versitility and application of martial arts when fighting with the katars.

As you can see, I've tried to include many balances to the abilities and skills my character has, because I really, reeeeaaally detest godmoding in RP, and personally find the all-powerful deal to be pretty... dull and stupid, frankly.

That said, I hope this fits in well, and I look forward to engaging in roleplay here.

Metal and power? Hawt. domokun

Your character man. Whatever you gotta do go on. I'm ready to start RPing again!! rofl

That's information that can be public knowledge. The rest is knowledge only held by Klaus himself.. and maybe a few other unknown people (possible plots for the future wink ).

Klaus is currently the only Shadowfox Mercenary left (if you all are making new characters) and I'd like to use him as a bridge between the history of Shadowfox and the current Shadowfox.

If you guys have any problems let me know and I will fix consequently.

I'm fairly sure the new emoticons are the admins poking fun. >.>

So I haven't been on much lately, what's been happening in the rebuilding process?
