Demens Chosen [PL: Into the Abyss - CLOSED]

[Cerillium]

Exhaustion sets in. I've got most of my IC reply typed but need to harass Swith a bit about some details. I'll finish it up tomorrow and post it.

[The Arthurian Isles]

My character is also quiet only because he has nothing to ask. Although, however much that chaplain corps comment may have been an aside, it would be a good role for Steingrímur given his obsession with theology, philosophy and religion.

[Tsuyoi Tekikoku]

Same here no questions.

[Cerillium]

Momentary delay while the CoOPs look over what I've written. I'm too tired to trust my in own ability to explain the God War to Cecile.

I accidentally posted the link in the Madhouse IRC. lel. I'm tired, and it shows. Players offered their input. I edited a few things to trim off some rambling, and then posted it. Not sure what my schedule will be like tomorrow.

[Truth Incarnate]

So what happens now? With the end of that little bit of exposition, what do we reply to?

Thanks for catching that. I edited. Notice my lack of sleep?

Rather than drone on at characters, I opted to have some of the command staff depart. This allows the PCs more freedom to discuss their doubts or excitement. Perhaps our veteran Residents can explain a bit about the setting to the newcomers?

I plan to launch the training this coming weekend. *fingers crossed* My schedule doesn't look that bad but there's a full week ahead. I'm usually bogged down by Wednesday.

OBJECTIVES AND GOALS
(REMOVE THIS SECTION
Primary Objectives are what drive's your character's actions and their part of the plot. When not engaged in stories, these are what occupy your character's thoughts or keep them busy. Examples include: acting on a desire to become a powerful and respected leader; attempting to overcome some horrible thing in the past which hinders the character on a day-to-day basis; seeking to break out their shell by overcoming profound shyness (getting involved with stories); comping to terms with a major flaw that inhibits the character from reaching full potential; etc.

Minor Goals. These should be an undercurrent for your character when they are engaged in stories or on their free time. They are what your character does to aid them in achieving their Primary Objectives. Examples include: acquiring weapons and becoming proficient with each one; improving sundered relations with a companion; improving their reading comprehension; mastering news spells; researching a cure for a plague; etc.

Objectives such as "making friends" or "finding love" are NOT acceptable. Please put much though into your character's objectives - they are what flesh out your character and one of the most important aspects necessary to portray the character as 3D. REMOVE THIS SECTION)

Primary Objective:

Minor Goals:


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

List Mundane skills here

SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS
(These are specialized skills that set you apart from the average person. You have 7 points to spend here, no more than 4 points in each skill or talent. Examples are swordsmanship, sniper, coercion, medic, spellcraft, piloting helicopter, manipulate water, etc. You must take a skill pertaining to a supernatural power if you plan to use that power.)

OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
(You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities, no more than 4 in each. Sonic Scream, Levitation, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite thus weaknesses are things which inhibit the ability. 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: list wings. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed: list speed and give us its stop speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed here. What isn't allowed: teleportation beyond a few feet; the ability to alter or go back/forward in time. IMPORTANT: You need a knowledge in Specialized Skills and Talents in order to work these abilities. Example: you'll need "manipulate water" to do just that, and this section is where you record what water manipulation abilities the character has.)

Yes

I do believe that we'd go with what I've established so far(which is mostly EU canon) though right?

Well, as long as it doesn't radically change the EU canon it should be fine, probably. Mine is from the Galactic Alliance era, following the Yuuzhan Vong war.

Skill Level (beginner, intermediate, advanced): Intermediate. I can write eloquently, just not often. Don't expect me to clog up a whole page on writing about gnawing on a piece of toast

How often can you post? Daily, but as these are rigid standards of RP-posting, perhaps one or two posts per day.



CHARACTER PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Character First Name: Darth

Character Surname: Drathen

Character Title: Sith Lord

Character Gender: Male

Species : Trandoshan

Age: 29

Appearance: This face with these robes; Standing 2.13 metres and weighing about 96.62 kilograms. He's much lankier than one might initially think of such a behemoth, and carries himself with an inquisitive, but refined grace. As far as clothes go, he prefers plain robes due to their mobility, and as most other forms of clothes are either too baggy or too tight.

URL to Character Picture, if any: Lol whoops, I already described him to you above.

Character Occupation or Specialty: Most likely helping repair or fashion any piece of equipment, or studying to teach subjects such as enginereing.


Character's biggest strength: His ability to learn and adapt, yet remains grounded in the moment so he can solve most problems.


Character's worst flaw: His natural distrust and suspicion towards people he doesn't know personally. However, he disguises this as an aloof demeanor.

Some mundane skills come from your bio and are freebie. A soldier has gone through Basic training. However, Medic, martial arts or sniper would be a Specialized Skill or Talent.)

List Mundane skills here

• College Bachelor level of knowledge in terms of Engineering and Machine Reparing. While one may argue that this is a "specialized skill", I figured this combined with education would be a sufficient rationale?
  
• Knife Throwing
  
• Stealth/has made it a habit to walk near-silently.
  
• Observation
  
• Elo Score of roughly 2300, which means he's very good at coming up with strategies quickly in games such as Scrabble or Chess.
  
• Driving vehicles

SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS
(These are specialized skills that set you apart from the average person. You have 7 points to spend here, no more than 4 points in each skill or talent. Examples are swordsmanship, sniper, coercion, medic, spellcraft, piloting helicopter, manipulate water, etc. You must take a skill pertaining to a supernatural power if you plan to use that power.)

• Ability 1 and Points Spent: Combat(Armed and Unarmed) (Sith are wont to stab each other in the back, as such he combines grappling, graceful kicks, and a defensive lightsaber style to quickly subdue an opponent) (1)
  
• Ability 2 and Points Spent: Machinery (He's a fixer upper, and at times a test pilot. Though he much prefers making his own upgrades rather than following a set of instructions) (2)
  
• Ability 3 and Points Spent: Diplomacy/Eloquence (From mediating arguments between who parked where to convincing you to hand over that last slice of cheesecake) (2)
  
• Ability 4 and Points Spent: Da Force (2)

OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
(You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities, no more than 4 in each.

Example: you'll need "manipulate water" to do just that, and this section is where you record what water manipulation abilities the character has.)

• Ability 1: Telekenisis
  Power Level:
  Strengths: All Force Users can typically use the Force to lift up objects, and determine their objects. An example of this is when/if Drathen is forced to use his lightsaber, he uses the Force to spin it at high speeds at a safe distance as a whirlwind shield. An ability almost exclusive to the Sith is the use of Force Lightning, only used when a Sith calls forth is most primal aggression upon a target. Most times he uses it to aid in his crafting.
  Weaknesses: Yslarmi, pesky little plothole beasts of the Star Wars universe that create energy bubbles that seemingly sever the User's ties to the Force. If said bubble buggers aren't around, then a broken concentration or another Force/Energy Manipulator can overpower his grasp. He can only manipulate five objects (roughly the size of a potted tree) at the same time with precision. Larger objects require larger exertions of energy. As for Force Lightning, the voltage/severity increases with Drathen's rage, and can be also countered by an equal/more powerful energy wielder.
  Restrictions: See above.
  
  
• Ability 2: Shatterpoint
  Power Level:
  Strengths: (what it does)
  Weaknesses: (what counters it)
  Restrictions: (limitations or other factors that hamper it/the character)
  
  
• Ability 3:
  Power Level:

  Weaknesses: (what counters it)
  Restrictions: (limitations or other factors that hamper it/the character)
