And yes... before I get another TG about it... my last char!Swith post takes directly from Ecclesiastes 3. The Christian Bible, like many other holy or sacred texts, contains some absolutely beautiful passages that can be applied to anyone's life. That one in particular is a favorite of mine.

I love it. Thanks for the work you put into setting up the city for us, sincerely. I look forward to the next opportunity you have to guide us through it.

Actually, that sounds wonderful! Being able to tour the city and see how it was envisioned.

Thanks! :lol:

I'm never online when people want to explore, and I haven't had much time to work one of my characters into people's stories.

If you guys come up with a business that your characters want to frequent (like Eru did with the hobby shop), please let me know so we can add it to the directory. I'm still trying to figure out what Japanese restaurant everyone was eating at earlier. It sort of sounded like Mei Gardens, but that's authentic atmosphere, so I'm guessing the "new" restaurant was just made up? I don't mind, except that MG is pretty darn big and a focal point in the Market District... there's an entire Japanese garden attached to it. I have to dig out the pictures and descriptions. They never made it into the tab because we were running out of room.

Evidently, they have no idea what "Closed" means.

I think we included some of Esternial's stuff on our OSF, with a direct link back to that exact page (and credit given to him.)

I just realized we didn't transfer Volt and Tipper's stuff to PL tabs.


Character Name: Calista of Usseio aka "Tipper"

URL to Character Picture or description of what they look like: Calista of Usseio aka Tipper.

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): human psyker/sorcerer of Slaanesh.

Character Unique Skills(if any): Tipper is fairly useless at just about everything. She seems to have some success with animal husbandry, however.

Character Powers (if any): (12 points to spend, no single power over 8.) Classified (grandfathered in, preexisting character.)

Character Weaknesses/Flaws:
Tipper is blind.
Her knowledge is limited to the 40K universe.
She has reoccurring nightmares.


Character Background: Tipper is unusual. Unlike most cultists, she possesses an otherworldly beauty; it's said to be a gift from Slaanesh. Her eyes are her most remarkable feature: the irises swirl in a vortex pattern of deep purple and faint pink that terminates into a smallish pupil that seems to pierce the mind. Her skin is flawless, her body lithe and pleasing to the eyes. Her voice is perfection whether she is chanting in prayer to her god or singing opera. She dresses in shades of purple and black. Unlike many Slaanesh female cultists, Tipper doesn't dress to sexually entice.

Very little is known about her. She was found by Dexter Usseio decades ago slumped over a Noise Marine's rotting carcass. She could only speak one word ("Tipper") and that's what her finder (who is also her sire) named her. She refused to leave his side for a very long time. He is still unaware of their blood relationship.

Tipper worked alongside Dexter on salvage missions, and that is where she met Volturius, a newly-arrived Astartes. She healed him after a brutal battle (well, we'll pretend that's what it was), and they fell in love. She is his mate and carries his unborn child.

Tipper's vision is so poor that she's nearly blind; this was the cost paid when Slaanesh gifted her with "sight".

She sings. She sometimes sings at inopportune moments. She is attracted to (and corrected by) noise in general. She loves living planet-side.

Why he/she/it is in Bielefeld: She was brought after Volturius was dragged out of Demens Domus.

URL to Apartment Picture:

Link to RP examples: (this MUST be a DIRECT LINK to your IC post in an RP, NOT a link to the RP thread itself. If you don't have examples, make your biography good.) http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=16866324#p16866324. Link also contains some of Tipper's background.

IMPORTANT:
One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details:
Calista of Usseio aka Tipper.
Blind psyker, mate to Volturius. Full Details.

Character Name: Vroo

URL to Character Picture or description of what they look like: A Steed has a serpentine body propelled on two long, muscular legs. Its head is extremely narrow, little more than a slender snout with eyes, from which a tongue several metres long flicks and darts and can taste the desire of mortals. Vroo

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Daemonic creature/ Steed.

Character Unique Skills(if any): Capable of running for eternity without ever tiring, they are often used as mounts. Steeds are vicious when roused, their tongues lashing like whips, their clawed feet kicking and eviscerating.

Character Powers (if any): (12 points to spend, no single power over 8.) They are incarnations of Slaanesh's free spirit, insatiably curious and, like all Daemons of Slaanesh, always crave experience.
    Innate ability: Endurance (running)
    Innate ability: natural weapons - tongue, claws.
    Innate ability: Empathy.
    Powers: Psi - 12 (Fear Inducement - 2; Siren Song - 5; Psychic Shield - 5).

Character Weaknesses/Flaws:
He sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn't fit into taxis.
His intelligence is often overlooked due to his inability to communicate verbally. He can say his name ("Vrrrrroooo") and that's about it.
He's overly curious which gets him into more trouble than he'd initially bargained for.
His lack of arms means that he has to rely upon his tongue... which isn't appreciated by people when they ask him to pass the salt.


Character Background: Vroo was originally stabled in the Lair until some foolish cultist left the paddock opened. Vroo had never had a rider. There isn't much else to say given what he is. He ended up in the local park during a storm and found comfort in Tipper the blind cultist. She mistook him as a dog and shared her fish with him. He agreed to follow her home.

Why he/she/it is in Bielefeld: Swith moved her stables back into the Lair.

Just saw my iTouch's clock turn from 1:59A to 1:00A.

Such a nerd.

Vroo is based upon Chauncey, a similar steed... only not as horny.

Chauncey used to hump Cer's tech-priest. I can't remember the guy's name, but it was a dark day for Dark Mechanicum when Chauncey entered the scene.

Nooooo. *laughs* Well, maybe. There were several giant... y'know. This is the one that we did a long time ago, a beer and pretzels game.

Bones, Aeten and others have asked... WHERE DO THESE GAMES COME FROM?!!

They are started on strange OSF. Some are started via email.

Here's how the most recent "Chaos parody" started:



Two Tech Priests walked into a bar. T'was rather stupid; you'd think the second one would have ducked. They came to a crashing end, stuck on their bellies and weighed down by various appendages.

The first, who was foolish enough to have not even spotted the bar, lifted his head and wondered at his locale. It was a dank place, bereft of light and as gloomy as the ass plate covering an Astarte's bum.

"Well, this is another fine mess you've gotten us into," said the second.

"Don't worry, someone will be along shortly to help us out."


----

Skitter skitter skitter

Tiny toes scrambled over the strange new framework cluttering the ground in front of it. The Ripper crested an odd spiky thing and perched momentarily before losing its grip and falling off. It landed on the second Tech-Priest's head with a feeble "oof".




There's absolutely no thought put into them beforehand. They just begin with a stray few sentences and we roll from there.
