I'm enjoying it, though I think I may have signed on the wrong character for this RP. Oh welp. Should be interesting, haha.

You can switch if ya need to, since we're not in the thick of things just yet. Also, Mort or Jacob just waiting on your posts ^^


Also remember everyone has creative freedom with the thread. You're all welcome to introduce plot elements or NPCs at will. I'm good at improvisation so don't worry about throwing my story off :D

I'll try and stick with them. Rigor can be a little chaotic, but if you're enjoying them, then I'll keep on posting.

I think he fits well into the group dynamic. Every character seems to be pretty rough around the edges, which was precisely what I was aiming for :D

Fair enough. I'll have something up by tonight at the latest.


Addition: Okay, so, since the next day or so will be fairly mundane you guys can go ahead and jump to the ship portion or just write up a sort of general post. The action should start soon :p

I hope you have room for one more! I have a better understanding on how to get this one into the RP than I did with the last =-=; This is a new character I've been wanting to try out. I hope you won't mind a furry equivalent of Drax the Destroyer.


Name: Reeva “The Cleeva” Pewterarm
Age: 30
 Species: Northern Sergal
Gender: Female
 Class: Fighter
 
Description: An amazonianly large and lanky Sergal with a trimmed and groomed coat to make due of the warmer climate. She has a cool gray fur that covers the majority of her body with a strip of fur running between her thighs, up her stomach, and under her chin colored white. Her ears are long with tufts of fur curling upwards to the air. Her eyes are naturally gray, and on her maw there is some visible signs of a scar running down her cheek. Her entire body has been painted with tribal like tiger stripes, with a glyph on her stomach. The Glyph doesn’t have much in the way of meaning other than being a nametag.
 
While she usually wears armor… however recent events had made her armor’s torso utterly unusable, and abandoned till she can find a suitable armorer to repair it. Instead… she gets by – by shamelessly wearing the leggings, tail guard, and gauntlets of her armor. The only actual articles of clothing she adorns with her armor is a tattered red sashed loosely tied on and held up with belts like a skirt, and a wrapping of bandages around her chest. It’s clear that she doesn’t have much of a sense of modesty… even if there’s nothing for her to actually show.

And as for the way she carries himself, she steps with a subconscious predatory like prowl. But she seems to hold a plesant expression most of the time. Showing a very care-free, and happy go lucky demeanor. That is till she enters battle. Then she looks like she's possessed by the way her eyes hardens, and her lips pull back into a garish grin like snarl. Perhaps she takes enjoyment in ending lives? Perhaps that is just created from years of battle. Regardless, it's a sign that mercy is off the table.
 
History: Reeva is very much an open book, and she will happily tell you more about her history if asked. But when it comes to it, her history in an abridged form is very simple and represents the happy life of a warrior-minded sergal. She was born and raised during a time of war. She eagerly trained for combat as a soldier and fought in it till it was finally over. Things eventually grew a little too quiet for the blood thirsty creature, and she set off on her own way after her service term was over.
 
Noteworthy Gear:
 A Thundering Two Handed Sword: A slender two-handed sword that she has lovingly named Tel. It’s appearance is rather mundane, but obviously a master’s work. It’s one noteworthy feature however is it’s random tendency to create a resounding shockwave after cutting into something’s body.
 
Tail Armor: After her last contract, the armor for her tail has improved quite a bit. The tail  now has chains wrapping around it in cross sections with metal thorns poking outwards from the links. The metal plates that were part of her complete set of armor, are now lined in dragon scales. The scales are mostly decoration than for function. However the spikes… show their function when the Sergal gives her opponent a hard slap with her tail.
 
 Noteworthy Skills:
 Reeva is an excellent battle hardened soldier. She had been trained in the Sergal’s way of the Two handed sword category, and also with spears, daggers, halberds, and quarter staffs. However, her skill really shines when she is armed with a two handed sword, which she wields with deadly efficiency, skill, and speed.
Ironically, for a creature who only knew war as part of her life, she is an excellent cook. She can craft a large variety of savory meals and confectionaries.
 
Flaws or Weaknesses:
 The common language of the area is definitely not her first. This tends to make communication incredibly difficult for her. Combined with her first language’s tendency towards literalism… she can easily misinterpret the context of many common sayings. She –has- killed and cooked a horse for one of the Honor Guard members in the past, because they used a very common idiom that she didn’t understand. And due to the same language barrier, she can not read the common language.

She tends to envy the lives of mothers. Though this strong emotion does tend to sway her in going out of her way to help families in need, if it's clear that the situation is utterly ridiculous for them to resolve on their own.

By the way that eyes are placed on a Sergals heads, it makes it incredibly difficult for her to use missile weapons. She's even banned herself from using weapons like bows, slingshots, and rifles for having one too many cases of friendly fire and unaccounted for shots.

Approved Tangle. Also, yeah, easy-peasy to jump in on this, just say she was out doing an odd-job over the holiday, not being a local and thus not really caring about the festival.... or whatever idea you had :3

Yeah I was planning on having her join in late after completing a job. I'm also surprised no one in the group got cleaned up before being presented to the king :x

Don't you know! Hygine is the quickest way to getting a job!

EDIT: Then again I shouldn't talk. Reeva is borderline naked in a royal palace. Sure she doesn't have  breasts like females of other mammalian species, but it's a thing.

Sandor, is this Richard's face right now?







If so, he might have an anger problem.

Hey guys, just an update. I was laid off from my job last night so my posting time is going to be sporadic for awhile, potentially. I'm certainly going to try and keep up my presence here, but I now have to deal with finding a job again and all that jazz. I stress out pretty easily about that kind of thing so I may disappear for a few days here and there if I need to decompress. No change to the RP, just giving everyone a heads up. If you notice me not having been on for a bit just PM me, it goes to my email :D

Yes. And yes.




Reeva would find it less intimidating, more than normally, and probably just adorable. Possibly the most infuriating thing to happen to a lion.


And you'll find your way Xavier! I'm sure you will!

Can't be that bad. Just guards posted up in murder holes with crossbows. Then again, I'm sure saying "And ye longin fer the kindling touch of ye sister, ye cox fither" would be much better than anything Ricard was about to say.

Sorry for the slowness on my end. I'll got some bad news recently that had me not in a right mind to write. I'll post in the next couple of days.

Sorry to hear that mort.




Rickard does not usually quote Pillars of Eternity, neither literally nor liberally :P

In any case, every insult to a king in his very own palace is likely to be met with swift retribution. He knows that, at least.


Not always. It depends on the king. One of my favorites though, was from a series called the Stormlight archive. The King hires someone that is then named "the kings wit". Who's a lot like Obama's Anger Translator. Only this one's job is to dish out some of the wittiest insults you will ever hear.
