Yep, the first time you can remember.

Which period of time was it when the world was destroyed in this RP?

The period of time when men build towers and farmed wheat

Ambiguously fantasy-y. Civilization built on magic, all that.

Name: Gerij (rhymes with 'carriage')
Physical Description: A sort of caramel-copperish-colored woman with black hair arranged in something like a bob. Eyes a cobalt blue and as clear as the empty sky. Her build is strong but tall and thin, less like an ox and more like a leopard, or a professional swimmer. She wears loose-fitting rags in the form of a sleeveless tunic and a chlamys. She does not usually wear foot wrappings, but she does have them, using them usually to cover her lower legs.
Personality: A genuine pragmatist. Tends to stay out of fights until their is a clear winner, then she will sometimes decide to side with either whoever is clearly winning, whoever it would be most beneficial for her to fight alongside, or whom her own morals parallel most closely. If the latter two have a chance of winning that is. If not, then she runs. It's not so much due to her being spineless as simply not caring/not wanting to get involved unless she must.

Do we have clothes?

Quite so, though quite knackered.

Looks good to me, welcome aboard.

Application:

Name: Jaylwin ( Pronounced as Hale-Win )

Physical Description: 5,4 with a stocky build. Sports a full brown beard. Has a scar over his left eye and all over his chest. He wears a black unhooded robe. He is missing his right hand but has a metal replacement hand which has weird carvings and symbols on it, carved into with blood red.

Personality: He vaguely remembers his past, only of flashes of bright light and blood red, apart from these. He remembers nothing else. He feels though that he had a violent life before he lost his memories and now takes on a more peaceful life. He travels around the wastelands, trasmuting plants in the rare water spouts and oasises (oasisi????). He is gentle and he could be to everything. Though he has fought some crazed individuals whom he had encountered during his travels. He generally stays away from any others than he see, preferring his own lonesome and plant making.

Hmm, not bad. Two things though- what is his hand? Is it magically powered, or just a lump of metal? Secondly, he's just woken up, so he hasn't been traveling about or fighting anyone.

Application:
Name: Felix
Physical Description: Felix is overweight and somewhat portly. While rather unfit, and clearly so, he has a surprising amount of dexterity. He can sing with his fingers, so to speak, drawing lyrics in the air around him, and they almost never stop moving. While most of his body is concealed by sheer black, silky robes over white undergarments, his eyes are clearly visible. They are almost dead - totally black - and yet show quite a lot of life when engaged by another person, scanning over the face and the body with gusto. He has very dark skin, typical for a South Asian.
Personality: Felix is a morbid, morbid character. He thrives on black comedy and dark humor. Laughter is common as a reaction to tragedy by most people - Felix, however, relishes it. That being said, his laughter conceals a genuine concern for the well-being of even strangers, and he is a generally sympathetic person. He holds grudges hard, although he is openly critical of his own inability to forgive. Finally, he is driven by curiosity - stability scares him, and creativity drives him. Despite this, Felix's greatest weakness is that he can appreciate another's creativity faster than he can exercise it himself - his fingers and spirit are those of an artist, but his mind that of a mathematician. His reaction to social situations is basically random, driven more by his relationship to the individuals involved than any expectation of social norms or his own place in the social hierarchy. While he fancies himself a capable leader, he is utterly disdainful of leadership from above, and often prefers to play the devil's advocate to someone else.

Well I'll edit but yea its decorative but it is magical in the sense that it reacts as if it where a normal hand. Like its only connect to his nerves by magic? I would say your stipulation of magic use being energy consuming should keep his magical reserves more drained than the other characters.

He generally stays away from any others than he see, preferring his own lonesome and plant making. He is obsessive in his beard grooming and gets moody if his beard is ill groomed. To others, Jaylwin is a introverted individual but inside he is a rather emotional man who crys for the warmth of another's embrace. He is always on the constant look out his soul mate. He communicates with grunts and grumbles, making him seem disinterested in communicating with others. He is constantly tired due to his hand slowly seeping from his magical reserves, thus always putting him in a state of deep slumber when he sleeps.

Edited. Hopefully thats good enough.

Name: Ber (pronounced bear. don't ask).
Physical Description: Mostly muscle and sinew, this short figure seems strong for his height. With a demeanor of one who has done horrible things in the past, bits of something that look like a white robe.
Personality: A strong-willed person, Ber obtains a great feeling from being in charge, though he's smart enough to realize that one needs to work with others to survive in this wasteland. He has a sight feeling that his past might be something to not delve into, so he stays away from that sort of thing. Not good at working in groups, however he may try, thanks to his attitude, which is pretty gruff and unlikeable.

Ber. May I call him Grylls?

No, if anything other than that, call him dov. (it's pronounced dove.) Its bear in hebrew....

Sure, I can work with that, though that's a description of who he may be, not who he is yet. We've all just woken up, after all.

Cool, my character is A/S(/L)! That makes me specialish!

Of course, of course. This is basically a giant charactwr development RP. I'll flesh him out in the IC. When's it going up?

Wait never mind. Its up already.

That, by the way, is essentially how uncontrolled Power works. Strong emotions may cause it to flare unpredictably. In this case Jarn (and I) hates walking on loose sand, annoyance that suddenly caused part of the sand to coagulate into sandstone, about a two foot by two foot section of earth. He'll be drained for a few minutes, and if he does any more alterations for a few hours he'll be very tired, but otherwise easy transmutations like that essentially run off the bit of divine in your character's blood, not their life force immediately.

Tag, that is all

Ah, Jorg, creating life outright at this point would leave you in a coma for days. You'll likely due of thirst. Might want to edit that.

I'm going to make a pair of goggles, methinks, with glass lenses using the presumably silica sand.

Sounds reasonable. Leather straps, or just going to use cloth from your outfit?

Might not be a bad idea. You never know when a killer Mad Max sandstorm could show up.

I was going to make leather straps, my outfit won't really offer up much in the way of workable straps.

Well, fuck, now we'd all better prep for one.

Hmm, well small uncured leather straps should be within your means, no worries.
