Same. Hope your dreams don't turn out like mine.

Secondary Objectives: (What other goals does your character intend to achieve? These should drive subplots.) Try to find the people that killed his parents and get revenge.

MUNDANE SKILLS
These do NOT require points. These are the average, daily things your character can do. Examples are "drive a car", "speak a normal Foreign Language", "play a guitar", "write poetry". Some mundane skills come from your bio and are freebie. A soldier knows very basic training (shoot a gun, basic drill). Medic, martial arts or sniper would be a Specialized Skill or Talent.

OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities. Sonic Scream, Levitation, Spell Casting, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite, so Restrictions are what can't they do with their power or what balances it. They can only use it when they genuinely need it? They can't use it for more then five minutes without serious side-effects? Some things are allowed without points. A pegasus has wings thus it can fly. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed in the character's description, however.

BACKGROUND

Character Background/Biography:
Malal Kon was born in a forest in Maine, a couple miles away from Canada. His mother was a half-human minotaur and his father was a full minotaur. His parents often took him hunting in Maine or across the border. But when Malal was 9 months old, the US army killed most of his family and friends. However, when his life was in most peril, he learned how to transform into a human. He was rescued by the US army members. They asked him for his name, and he said Matthew Kon. They took him on a road trip across the Northeast US before returning to West Point. They put him in an orphanage in New York.
Malal, because of the stress, forgot how to shapeshift again and began to lose his memory of his parents. The only thing he remembered was crawling out of a flaming house.
Matthew was adopted very quickly by the Morton family, where he got his surname, and he was raised in New York. When he was 7, robbers tried to rob his house. He discovered his ability once more, and scared them away. This time however, he kept it, and loved to run around the alleys of New York, alone of course, in his minotaur form.
He had a normal life, until he was 17. His parents attended his high school graduation. He was 17 years and 7 months old. However, two months later he was looking for colleges when a fire burned down his parents' house exactly 17 years after his old parents were killed. When they were in the hospital, they managed to tell their son he was adopted and he was from West Point. That was all they knew. Matthew went to West Point a night, and he somehow managed to sneak in. He found the file named Minotaur and opened it. What he found was his background. He got out of there, and read all of it. His memories were coming back to him.
After attending his parents' funeral in New York, he went back to his birthplace in Maine to train. He trained for three years, until now. Now he is ready to see the world and find minotaurs once again.

OTHER GAME MECHANICS
URL to Apartment Picture: (What's the inside of their apartment look like) Currently homeless. Right now, he's travelling the world.
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.) I do have examples, but look at my biography in this case.

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
Character Name: Malal Kon/Matthew Morton
Brief Description: A young adult minotaur who's travelling the world, looking for someone of his own kind.

I like him. Quick comments:

Shapeshifting. Be careful with this one. Although it's nice to be able to "insta-heal", no amount of shape shifting can heal someone if they're facing magical items designed to tear apart others while they shapeshift. Likewise, things embedded should stay embedded, such as a bullet to the heart or a lance to the brain. Cuts and slices and broken bones etc would heal just fine.

Primary Objective. As Fvaar explained, there are minotaur in the setting. A herd has integrated itself into the Burrows. They are plain, ordinary minotaur that lack any shapeshifting ability, and their social structure is set. They engage in preferential relationships and establish hierarchy at a young age. If a newcomer is added to the current herd, you see the highly ranked minotaur test the new arrival until the new minotaur finds a spot in the hierarchy. So our Mr. Morton might find himself butting heads with the older bulls, and fending off feigned attacks from the adolescents. Or they may opt to refuse him completely because he's a shapeshifter. That's good news for Mr. Morton - his quest doesn't end the moment he arrives.

He's accepted in PL. I can work him into the setting any time. All characters start off the same way. I'll post his arrival once you're ready to play.


Swith, please add tab. Let's put him in Apartment 4G (Nex old place).

Note to all: PCs will not come from Galli. Not yet. It's a complex world and we're having it unfold one discovery at a time.

Okay. I guess I'm ready to play then.

This is probably the biggest RP me and my other account, The Tricolour have been in.

[The BranRiech]

Damn . . . The night I go to a party after work, is the night I miss the most posts. Was it because I was gone? Lol

Nah, it's alright, but a quick synopsis would be nice.

[Fvaarniimar]

More strategizing, more prep for stuff, and IC from Min's Klingons a recommendation to do weapons checks and a call to scout. (Cer really wants people to scout!) Strongly recommend you read through at least OP/CoOP s'and Torsi's posts, though.

Additionally, Managerquest is getting run with a skeleton crew - we're doing Torii's party to send off Torsi.

[The Carlisle]

Slo, Kale is interacting with Sandy. Don't know if you caught that or not. Probably did, maybe you're busy. Just checking.

He's got a big reaction post in the works.

Crack a whip on him

[Fvaarniimar]

Kwa'a is now out scouting! Is there anywhere/any direction in particular you would like her to head?

Just take note of some of the details already given about the building's location. I would say free form it; we already have a large patch of burnt land but that shouldn't stop anyone from expanding out and exploring, putting details to the general scenery.

I trained with a bull whip at scout camp for this exact purpose

[Swith Witherward]

Cer's been delayed. Work called him in.

People out scouting: I can drop in a post. There are a few things you'll want to see. Otherwise, yep... Min's advice is solid. Fvaar, do you want to send Kwa'a to look around the Building's foundation?

Kaeria: I'll work your intro in shortly.

Prim: we're actually collaborating the Fiend story, working in a player's concept. There are a few things for Aegis to discover. In fact, I was hoping to get something written last night but my brain just wouldn't cooperate. I'll add it to my post. (Nice Insidious post, btw!)

Post is refusing to gel. Crack the whip at my muse. Her address is:

You heard him! Get in a block and drop those sarissas, we've got an expedition to run!

Ceril do you or anyone else mind if I have Aegis go to investigate some of the oddities pirm detected earlier?
I can have him lead a team as well if you need a bunch of people to do something?
Or we could collab something.
Just throwing that out there.

Sandy wouldn't have minded going with Insidious, but she's gone off to be responsible. Sandy will search on his own, after he relaxes a bit.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds -
and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -
wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.

[The BranRiech]

Did some work on my nation's factbook, finally got the overview (Mostly completed) posted without me accidentally deleting it.

He could join her in the hall now that shes done and help her fill it with other peoples stuff.

Okay thanks. I will have Aegis gather a few people to go investigate.

@everyone who wants to investigate? If you do respond to my next Aegis post or tell me here.

[Fvaarniimar]

Kwa'a's headed out on her own already. Mind telling me what direction you intend to send your characters/that group so I can send her in a different one? Cer did want multiple scouts and I think staying solo is likely more in character. (If she does encounter them she'll say hello and might wish them luck.)

[Northwest Slobovia]

@everyone who wants to investigate? If you do respond to my next Aegis post or tell me here.

If either Insidious or Aegis mentions it to Sandy, he'll catch up with them after he relaxes a bit.

[Northwest Slobovia]

There's a couple of bits I need to resolve in the dining room (Hunter wanted to accompany Jalo, for example) and I owe Prim a post for Amanda in the Burrows. Any other posts I owe?

[Fvaarniimar]

Have the Building's lawns regrown?

[Chedastan]

Well if your char has a gun, you can always put it on Romy's list.

Amanda has a gun, but Sandy has only a vague idea how much ammunition she had for it, and no idea how much she shot off during the fighting.

On the other hand, Sandy may drag himself over to Romy to mention that he knows a fair amount about fortifications.

[Swith Witherward]

Have the Building's lawns regrown?

Nope.




Alright, hell hit the fan here, so I had to handle that. I'll have posts up shortly. It won't be my best, but it'll do. Sincerest apologies to Torsi for the delay in the girls' story.

[Torsiedelle]

Thanks Swith. It's no problem, though ^^

[Swith Witherward]

Thanks Swith. It's no problem, though ^^

Post up.

Cer will handle what they find. He might post when he gets home, if you've posted, or else tomorrow after work.


Fvaar, I haven't forgotten! I need to grab a quick bite to eat, and then I'll post for the grounds!
