THE OFFICIAL CHARACTER SHEET
heart
This is the character creation sheet you must use if you wish to take part in the official guild RP.
Haven't read any of the guides yet? It's completely vital that you do so! Here are the official links:
Once you've copied the form below, fill it out and put it in a thread dedicated to your character. That's right - every character needs to have their own dedicated thread! The reasons for this are explained in the system guide.
Questions and Answers:
Q: Are we allowed to rp ourselves?
A: Of course you are! My character is basically myself, with a few tweaks to make her less me-like and more fitting of a High Priestess. I have a feeling a lot of the regulars will be RPing their own avatars too, since they're the ones who fought the Sentinel during Demonbusters.
Q: Where can we get a picture of our character from?
A: It's easy enough to find pictures online, or you could make one yourself, or commission one from an artist within or outside of our community! Please note that pictures have a 500x500 (with a little leeway) size limit!
Q: Could we use a TekTek'd avatar as the picture, or our own current avatar?
A: Of course! XD It doesn't HAVE to be a picture! Avatars are perfectly fine, if not desireable!
Q: So... I notice that this system so far isn't very SIN-friendly...
A: This is covered in the FAQ of the system guide. Basically, right now it only makes sense story-wise if we have SINs who have turned BOO in our midst. Alternatives for the still-evil among us will appear as time goes on!

The Mod Characters Section!
These are characters created and controlled by moderators. They are much more powerful than regular characters, often thanks to their Special Abilities, which are VERY powerful skills that would allow the mod to step in if things went awry.
As the storyline advances, more characters will appear here. These characters could range from incidental monsters and single-event characters to characters that play a long-term role in the storyline.
DO NOT USE MOD SPECIAL ABILITIES AS A FRAMEWORK WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR OWN FOR APPROVAL. Any special ability of a regular character can in no way be as powerful as that of a mod.
~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~
Lorika
~ Controlled by Lorika
~~~~~~~~~
Key points:
* High Priestess
* Only character capable of resurrecting
* Most powerful healing skills, but few medical treatment skills
* NO offensive skills
~~~~~~~~~
Age: 21
Profile: Having never taken an interest in the Overseer or any of his aquatic gifts before, Lorika found herself drafted into his cause due to her belief in goodness and virtue. Her efforts at spreading awareness and motivation during the war thrust her very rapidly to the forefront of the Order, where she remains to this day. Despite this, she still considers herself largely unimportant and preaches the vitality of unity and friendship among the Order. She has always lived her life trying to be the best person she can be, striving towards honesty, generosity and kindness, though she often doubts her abilities and choices when facing the problems of the world. This unfortunate attribute has been carried over: it may seem she has found ultimate peace in the Overseer, but on the inside she is often conflicted about her purpose and feelings towards her new life. Never having believed in a god before, her unwavering faith in the Overseer is a surprise and even a slight embarassment.
Would she like to go back to a normal life? No. As long as the cause of the Order needs her, she will never back down from her duty.
Revealed through the RP:
The High Priestess of the Order is a very troubled young woman. She's accustomed to putting on masks to disguise her true feelings, and likes to hide behind her title even though she fears it means losing her true identity and causes her stress and work. She greatly fears losing the respect of the Order members and is easily embarrassed; it is implied that she wishes to escape a past where she was considered worthless, constantly rejected by her peers and her talents and work were never appreciated. Indeed, all she wants is to be appreciated. Unfortunately, she seems to be setting herself up for yet more rejection due to her feelings for the childlike Imposter. Her worries are so vast that she can rarely sleep without taking a sleeping potion. Her natural hair colour is blonde. She grew up in a small town and can speak many languages, including Drow and some Orcish, an ability which would have seen her as a diplomat if the Order had not crumbled.
Update #1: It is revealed that she has been abused in some form or other throughout her life. As a result she is emotionally dependent on the acceptance of others, and very fragile. She tends to cling to those who offer her praise and affection, and develops feelings for men who treat her with kindness especially easily. Her feelings of worthlessness sometimes cause her to contemplate suicide, and when her emotions run so wild they would overwhlem her she is able to simply shut them off. She has developed a friendship with Jessie, and finds her confidence bolstered thanks to him.
NEWEST: Lorika is a very intelligent woman who was, it is alluded, pulled out of school in her young teenage years before she could obtain any formal qualifications. She finds herself fascinated by Panda’s work, as it had been her ambition to become an academic. As a result, she has been spending more time with him lately, helping him with his work and bringing him the meals he so often skips. Despite her fragility Lorika is capable of great passion for the things she believes in, and it shines through in the speeches she writes – which helped her obtain her position in the first place. Her wild and intense emotions allow her to identify with many different kinds of people, and for people to identify with what she’s saying. Unlike Jessie, she allows her feelings to sweep her away, and as a result may sometimes seem rash and hot-tempered. Their relationship is often rocky, apparently because of things which happened during the war – her disapproval of him has never quite shaken its hold. Lorika is on the whole a rather weak character, struggling to overcome her own troubles and keep the Order together at the same time, having been tossed off the deep end with the Overseer’s disappearance. With a little support, however, she’s capable of pulling things together and making the right decisions. Even though she's a flirt and can be something of a tease (qualities she hates about herself, but can't seem to deny), she seems frightened of intimacy. Related to this, the sight of a shirtless, muscular man provoked a startling reaction, as if recalling a bad memory. Oh, and this goes without saying, but she’s a pacifist and a humanitarian.
Sterilise Create Holy Water Create Holy Oil Pray Treat Minor Wounds
Levitation Deflect Dispel Reparation Alleviate Pain Remove Poison Sanctuary Prayer of Healing Negation Heal
Pacify Shell Connection With Water Heal Deadly Wounds I Would Die For You I Have Been Chosen
Special Abilities:
Divine Intervention
Divine Intervention uses the High Priestess' deep connection to the Overseer to bathe the battlefield in holy power, fully healing all those present, friends and enemies alike, and Pacifying each and every one of them for five turns.
Resurrection
Yes, that's right - the High Priestess is the ONLY character capable of bringing a character back from the dead. Life's a b***h, huh? And then you die!
The character is also fully healed.
~~~~~~~~~
Jessie
~ Created by Captain Jessie Hawk, but now controlled by Lorika.
~~~~~~~~~
Key Points:
* Combat Captain
* Immune to Grapple and Taunt
* Immune to Disarm; continuous Dodge effect
* Strongest battle character in the RP. It is not reccommended that acolytes attempt to take him on outside of practise sparring.
Age: 67
Profile: Jessie was born in the drow society of Kiltiras, to a family of little standing. His mother, Guallidurth, was ruthless and ambitious even by the standards of her people. She sought to bring her family to fame and glory and form her own House - a kind of extended family, like a clan, which continually wars with other Houses to achieve dominance. The easiest way to do this is to have many children and teach them well to bring honour to the family. Jessie, unfortunately, was born in the most inconvenient place - the third child, after two daughters. As in most other cultures, drow have numbers with special significance. Three is considered the "perfect" number, and it is customary for a daughter born third after two other daughters to ascend to the matriarchy and know no want - a blessed child. Unfortunately, Jessie interrupted his mother's "winning streak", and was cursed for it. He might have become as bitter and cruel as any of the others around him: however, he had a lifeline - his eldest sister Aunmysklyr, whose good spirit shone like a beacon amongst the darkness.
Jessie, then known by his birth name, left Kiltiras for reasons unknown when he was 20. Perhaps his whole life had been building towards it; who knows? Over his decades on the surface of Gaia he has amassed great riches and reputation - as a warrior to be reckoned with, but also as a criminal untouchable by any authority. He was actually thrown into the life of privateering, but if given the chance to change things he doesn't think he'd do anything differently. He often feels as if he's spent his life searching for something he's never quite been able to grasp...
Revealed through the RP:
The Captain's imposing exterior hides a good, compassionate and loving heart. While often dismissive and cold, he stops short of outright cruelty unless the person has committed some sort of offense. Unfailingly polite in conversation and often charming, he is admired by most members of the Order, even (grudgingly) by those who profess to dislike him. Very little is known as of yet about his past, though he has made allusions to the cruel, misandric, theocratic society of power-hungry, backstabbing denizens he grew up in with obvious scorn. Unfortunately, he finds himself reminded increasingly of this past. In their short time on the island, he has developed strong feelings for Coline, whose innocence and frailty call out to him like a siren song. It is revealed that he was born to a family of little standing, and was beaten regularly from infancy.
Update #1: He owns a vast collection of weaponry, only some of which are currently kept in his cabin and all of which he is proficient in using. The loss of his left eye is a very personal matter to him, and seems to be connected to his mother. After compulsory schooling, he joined the private army of House Lo'Roud when he was ~17, and this is where he received his basic warrior training. He suffers occassionally from migraines and sunburn caused by his race's susceptibility to sunlight, and blocks all light from his cabin to allow himself a comfortable resting place.
NEWEST: Jessie is a mature but emotional character who does his best to comprehend his feelings and harness them in order to act in the most responsible way. Responsibility is key to him, and he scorns the rash actions of others. On the flipside, he's been seen to behave increasingly irrationally lately where matters involve Coline - a fact that troubles him. It could be said he takes responsibility to an extreme, though whether this is a bad thing or not has yet to be determined: he humbly takes blame onto himself all too quickly and is always prepared to deal with the consequences of actions. One of his overriding character traits is complacency and forgiveness; he is accepting of others and takes even the hardest of knocks in his stride; shrugs off most controversial things and any past offences a person might have made. It seems nothing will ever reduce the sturdy Captain to rubble. He comes from a large family, is good with and adores children, and wistfully remarks upon the music and poetry of his home. His life up until the Order is one big mystery as of yet, but it has been implied that he is a notorious and dangerous criminal apparently offered legal redemption in exchange for his services to the cause of good. His intensely loyal nature towards others often conflicts with his longing to forge his own destiny in life, as invariably those he grows close to take advantage, expecting him to sacrifice or deny himself for them on an uncomfortably grand scale. (Crouching drow, hidden backstory!) He very quickly becomes depressed if it seems that circumstances are spiralling out of his understanding and control. He is incredibly protective of and generous towards Coline, and seems unnaturally terrified of something befalling her. His relationship with Cressa is obviously strong and based on mutual respect, yet she goes out of her way to cause trouble for him and always succeeds. The gentlemanly elf has been seen to go so far as to strike her when she steps out of line. Indeed, he seems indifferent to whether or not he spars with a woman, believing them to be equals in combat.
Signature Strike Parry Counter Disarm Signature Travel
Grapple Taunt Back Slice Break Fatal Blow Sprint Defending Aura Quick Retreat Wounds of Glory Rally the Troops Plan Ahead Whirlwind Attack
Bullheaded Rage Pierce Exotic Proficiency Reputation Blade Master Proficiency
Special Abilities:
Lethal Weapon
The Combat Captain of the Order is capable of feats of extreme physical constitution and prowess. For six turns, Jessie will take no damage and deal successful hits without needing to roll.
Epic Reflexes
Elven dexterity combined with years of training create a man who can react to changing situations in less than the blink of an eye. Jessie is almost impossible to Disarm, even with Crippling Disarm, and can Dodge attacks on any turn he chooses; no limitations.
~~~~~~~~~Panda
~ Controlled by Panda of the Twilight~~~~~~~~~ Key points:* Spellcasting Professor.* No healing skills, but access to Basic combat skills when transformed.* Many offensive spells and spells used for transportation. Can also transform himself further than a normal character.* Access to skills outside of his mastered Paths when using his special ability.~~~~~~~~~
Age: 22
Profile: Panda is a rather...odd man. He always found Gaia to be a fascinating place and did everything to study it. You could always find his nose in a book, or doing some weird experiment. Nobody wanted to be around him because he would mutter strange words to himself. It came no surprise to anyone around him when he started to learn magic, what DID surprise everyone is how quickly he mastered his path. He was the one of the youngest spell casters of all time and was very proud of it. Shortly after his mastery though, he met a woman. This woman cooed in his ear and played with his heart. She promised him many things, including how to get stronger. It was some time later that he realized who she really was, and what she really wanted. The sentinel had stolen his heart and twisted it to her will, and even wanted him to destroy the land he loved the most. It was only after he saw a magical clam did he remember who he really was. The overseer didn't make empty promises, but asked for his help. With his kindness Panda felt that he too, should help protect the world from his dark mistress. So shedding her dark grip he used his magic for good. After the war, everything changed for him as the world was sent into a new age. Still anxious to change the world for good, he decided to return to the books. Instead of learning though, he set to teach the people of gaia how to protect the land they love...the only way he knew how...
Revealed through the RP:
Panda is a workaholic who toils constantly on his research, translations, potion-making and experiments. He lives and breathes his books and is obsessed and fascinated by magic. Completely anti-social - verging on sociophobic - he is easily irritated by the presence of others and often falls out with his more strong-willed students. Lack of concentration sometimes causes his experiments to have terrible side effects. He despises sleeping, considering the lack of activity a waste of time. While usually coming across as somewhat demanding and arrogant, even a little sinister, he does have good intentions and a soft side that sometimes shows through. He has no friends within the Order and is very much disliked, except by the Priestess. Her kindness seems to affect him, and he is unfailingly generous and somewhat protective of her.
~~~~~~~~~Theme Song: Viva La Vida~~~~~~~~~Full list of skills:
Light Conjure Water/Food Minor Telekinesis Minor Knockback Minor Deflect
Scribble Glue Knockback Deflect Negation Break Whispering Gale Call Wind Gust Levitation Catch the Wind Cyclone

Special Abilities:
Extreme Attunement
The master magician of the Order is able to tap into the energies that infest the world and bend them to his will, as opposed to using them for his means. For three turns, Panda is surrounded by an impenetrable shield of energy and is capable of casting up to three spells at once (any combination of spells - three of the same, all different or two the same and one different), including up to two spells from a Path he has not mastered.
God Hand
Combining holy winds and biting lightning, this spell can either completely stun up the three enemies, blow them up to twenty metres away or knock them down and pin them in place.

Incidental/Impermanent/Only Somewhat Reoccuring/Event Characters!This is the section for mod-controlled characters which do not play a continuous role in the rp. They may be visitors, or one-time-only enemies, or any other character who enters and plays a role during an arc of the rp but is unlikely to stick around.~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~Cressa Usyllt
~ Controlled by Lorika~~~~~~~~~ Key points:* Sorceress.* Numerous exclusive skills, and no defined Path.* Has the use of Corie, a crow devil familiar.* Also proficient in close combat.~~~~~~~~~
Age: 112
Profile: Hello there, puny pink thing. A few questions, you say? For a documentation about my life? Oh, of course, I'm too happy to oblige! Let's see - I was born in the great and powerful city state of Menzoberranzan, as the third in line to the matriarchy of House del Torvirr. My aunt and my sister, however, died when I was in my teenage years, and as the third child was a son the matriarchy fell to me. So really I should be introducing myself as Creyassa del Torvirr, dalharil d'Ayuma, dalharil d'Iymalquin, dalharil de'Trielryn, dalharil de'Jhulfynn, dalharil de'Zhulvhyl, dalharil d'Yyasue. I have found that this is rather too much of a mouthful for your kind, however, so you may address me as Cressa Usyllt. Let's see... I was groomed for the matriarchy late, of course. More's the pity for me. The elders never seemed to take me all that seriously. More's the pity for them. Still, I suppose one good thing came about as a result of my place. I began my spellweaving as a kind of youthful rebellion against those who chose to look down upon me. More's the pity for all those who have died at my hands since, ahaha!
I grew bored and left some time into my thirties. For many, many years I travelled Faerun and the planes beyond it, doing any good deeds I happened to stumble upon and clearing up messes made by the other races. O, I am a cat who likes to gallop about doing good. Wait, who said that?! Corie! Please, ignore the bird. No, she's nothing, really. Just my familiar... who has served me well, I shall admit.
What am I doing here now, you say? I'm here to visit my old friend, who you know as your strange little cult's combat instructor. Why? Well, why not? I recently took a trip back to Faerun, and so we hadn't seen each other in a couple of years. Ahh, I miss the good old days on the ship. I hope they aren't gone forever, now he's tied to you lot. What? Love little Jessie? Ahahahaha! Would I love my little brother? I might <********> my little brother, but no, love is a different matter. Hm? No, I have nothing in particular against men, or rivven. I have nothing in particular against anyone. I like to commit myself to neutrality. Fortunately, neutrality leaves you open to a great deal of self-interest. I am very interested in myself. Oh, my sword? Yes, I picked up the art of the blade during my travels here on the surface. I'm not one to put all my eggs in one basket, if you know what I mean, and my particular brand of magic allows me to be flexible. Hey, if your little friends -male ones especially - have any other questions, send them over. Run a finger down my spine, and I am an open book!
VOICE CLIP!Revealed Through the RP:
NEWEST: Cressa is a strange one. Similarly to Jessie, it is unknown why she left her home, especially when things seemed to be in such a favourable position for her. It is implied that they’ve known each other a very long time, and their friendship is strong. Cressa is apparently a fickle, sadistic woman who takes pleasure in the misery of others and believes herself and her race to be far superior to them all. She has a cruel sense of humour and says and does what she feels, regardless of the situation. One of her driving forces is overt and rather crude sexuality. Her character seems to have more depth to it than immediately apparent, however. Her behaviour often contradicts between what is apparent and superficial and what comes from the heart. She is a confirmed and skilled liar who constantly revels in the false and the hilarious and it’s thereby impossible to know where you stand with her at any one time. The one thing that is certain, which Jessie confirms, is that most of her bad behaviour is simple bluster, and that she conceals something good and altruistic within. She likes to put on a show – enjoys shocking and repulsing others, inspiring their awe and fear. She never fails to make an entrance, adores pulling pranks and being the centre of attention. She acts impulsively, is dynamic and always ready to accomplish a goal or a challenge. That said, she has a terrible, rash temper and doesn’t like it when things don’t go her way. She likes to be praised, but doesn’t like responsibility and is therefore unsuitable for leadership. From her treatment of the humans and her arrogance it may seem she has carried her people’s traditions with her, but it seems that this may be bluster also, for she also speaks of them with hints of scorn and bitterness. In addition, though this will never be stated anywhere else, she has had many abortions – a complete rejection of the drow moral code. (What morals the drow at large have, they take VERY seriously.) It’s safe to say that she’s less drowish than she seems. Infallibly charming (when she wants to be) and a master of social graces (ditto), she knows when to apologise and when to push on, and can be awesomely persuasive. Incredibly vengeful and scheming, she seems to detest Coline for no reason other than her lack of suitability for Jessie – almost in a big-sisterly way. Storm seems to have pegged his hopes too high on her after their bedroom gymnastics, for she seems honestly incapable of settling with a man or experiencing any real love for one. It may be possible, however – if she finds someone she can consider her equal or –dare I say it? – superior. (That is, they’d need to be equally stubborn, fickle, childish and insolent. Good luck.)
As a point of interest, her home city – Menzoberranzen – is sometimes called the drow “capital city” due to it being historically the favourite haunt of Llolth herself. It is the largest and most diverse of them all. Cressa can speak several of the Underdark languages: Drow, Undercommon and, strangely enough, some Kuo’toan. She can also play the harp, flute, violin and harpsichord/piano.

If your character is not listed here, there are some problems with your character profile to be addressed. I will have posted in your thread with what is needed, but if you need clarification feel free to PM me. Either that, or your profile is simply incomplete as of yet and it will be added once it's finished.
