Name: Calvert 'The Bonesmith' Tarchannen

Age: 35

Gender: Male

Alliance: ex-Imperium

Appearance: (Image)

Backstory:
While his family is no rebel or soldier, Calvert had spent his entire life living on the edge of the Imperium, just a day walk from the Neutral Zone. His father, a smith and elemental mage, worked to supply the garrison spread along the edges of the Zone with weapons and armors. Young Calvert learnt how to smith and enhance equipment without the need of enchanting magic. He served as an apprentice to his father, learning all the necessary knowledge required in the field. And as a young boy he showed mastery over the art, in fact he was so good his family worried that the Imperium might sent him to the Technocrat. Luckily for them, their faraway location and the more or less uncaring soldiers around them protect Calvert's mastery from being known. They were very happy when he finally has his enchanting magic. He learnt quickly and always experimenting with various scenarios. He would ask the idling soldiers on the condition from the battlefield and he would try to address it. He went as far as studying the basic of Elemental magic from his father and applied it to his enchantment. It turned out his innovation was quite useful and his family started to get more orders.

His talks with the soldiers weren't only about what they needed, but also about the Technocrat. The more he talked with them, the more he understood that the war has been a case of misunderstanding. A huge one at that, but still, just a mere misunderstanding. He want to know more about the Technocrat, and also the Imperium people that escaped to the Zone. He knew that his family won't agree with him. So he waited. He waited until he is old enough to be left alone by his family. In the meantime, he collects the leftover of Technocrat techs from their fallen soldiers, and Incorporated it to his own work, mainly to improve his smithing efficiency.

When he was twenty years old, a tragedy struck his family. His mother passed away from a dissease, and he took it as the for himself to go. It was more of an act of mourn rather than a fullfilment of his own whims, as he felt that he needed to distance himself from the melancholy that had dropped upon his family. With a handful of gold, a sword and raw materials, Calvert started his journey to the Zone.

Calvert found that most people here in the Zone need to survive in a much harsher way than within the city border. The unrelenting chase from the guards, the shots fired from both sides of the field, and the lack of resources. Calvert solved this by becoming a mercenaries, either hired to chase down bandits by the travelling merchants or to attack a bandit by the order of another bandit. He gained the nickname 'Bonesmith' after the myth that spread out about his bone daggers. The rep helps him though, so he never bothers clarifying it. Now, he heard the rumours that more and more person left the Imperium and the Technocrat. Feeling that he might now has the chance to clear down the problem between the two, Calvert tried to find these guys and help them where he can.

Class: Enchanter; specialization in his so called "Adaptive Art", which basically means that Calvert can enchant his equipments to adapt to the current situation, ranging from making his armor fire proof when under a barrage of incendiary grenades to his sword shifting its shape into an axe when he need some extra brute force.

Equipment: Enchanted double scimitar, light bronze cuirass, some explosive cartridges, throwing bone daggers, and a special contraption that can launch blades or bombs from afar.

Optional

That was a nice post, Happyland. Could've used a few hits of the enter key, but the action was good.

Could I ask you not to use that shade of blue for your character's dialogue, though? No color at all would be the most reasonable thing to do, but if you want to use color, could you pick something more neutral? Dark blue's actually one of my favorite colors, but it's also a pain to see without highlighting, since I'm using the Dark Theme :P

Name: Jhon Holsen

Age:17

Alliance: Ex-Imperium

Appearance: 6 foot 8, wears a black parka, and has two scars running from his forehead to his cheekbone.

Backstory: Jhon Holsen was born into a relatively low key family, that is, until his powers manifested. He could send massive bursts of raw magic at targets, completely destroying them, and also could lift heavy objects with telekinesis. In spite of his want to join the army and fight "the technocratic menace" he knew he was too much of a loose cannon to be useful in a battle, so he chose the summoner path and eventually found a mentor that wasn't scared of his capabilities. But a month in, one of the spells he was practicing went horribly wrong and caused a massive explosion, leaving two black scars on each side of his face. Due to the dangers of regular summoning that surrounded Jhon, his mentor let him try his own methods of summoning. Jhon quickly settled on summoning large dragon-like skulls to fire focused beams of magic at targets. Confident in his abilities, he signed up for the army and was accepted a few days later. However, his opinion changed when he was sent after a technocratic spy, during their confrontation Jhon summoned two blasters to ensure his destruction, but when he realized the spy was as normal as anyone he de-summoned the blasters and let the cloaked spy get away. When asked if the mission was successful, he replied that the spy had gotten away. Shortly after he started making a plan to escape to the NZ and find the person who called himself "shade"...


Class: Summoner?


weapons: can create various melee weapons from his magic, but prefers to keep two blasters and a scythe manifested in fights. He doesn't have to make his blasters vanish because they often disintegrate after one use. He can get exhausted from summoning them, so he has to take a rest after fights.




theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqQQOToMITM

Random facts:

Anti-social and his magic (in the form of weapons and blasts from the blasters) is silver




fixed it, good enough?

Sorry I haven't been able to post in awhile. So are the fights currently going on in the IC all part of the same battle, or are there a bunch of small battles going on in different areas of the neutral zone?

From what I gather, the situation is as follows:

Your character and Shadowwell's were fleeing from the magi/technocracy troops, with mine arriving to help out a bit and Tomia's arrived a bit later. That's one fight. While that happened, most of the other characters were not too far from that fight, mostly just interacting. Now, this fight apparently caught the attention of both sides, so at the present moment there's a bunch of alarms sounding and indicating that a shit ton more troops from both sides are going to be storming the place in a bit.

The other isolated fights I can think of would be Addison's, whose introduction basically amounted to him fleeing from Technocracy troops that chased him after he quit and led him to hide with the group that wasn't fighting; and Sigma's, whose fight was with undercover Magi who were some distance away from the group that wasn't fighting (at the end of his introduction Sigma does approach them). Both of these fights are minor, separate from the first one, and also separate from the one that's about to happen.

Does that help?

Do you intend to post soon? If so, I'd appreciate some sort of response to my characters.

I was hoping Shadow would respond to my last post first, but if he doesn't get a post up soon I'll just assume we're headed in the direction of Lucien's Oasis and respond to your characters.

Hm, wouldn't you rather get a lift to where the rest of the PCs are? I was planning on having one of my characters get everyone there in my next post (support spells are useful :P).

I'd be fine with that, but that might make it harder for Asterdan to bring his characters into the fight.

That's true, but he hasn't posted in a while.

At any rate, given his stealth, Jason can definitely join the fray at any moment :P

Uh, Higher Japan? I don't think it makes sense for Alastor to limp all the way to the Imperium and back, in the span of a single post. From my understanding we're currently quite far from the frontier, and said frontier is also not unguarded, so in addition to Alastor covering an enormous distance very quickly while limping, he would've had to sneak past the frontier's guards twice.

That wasn't necessary, you could've simply kept the part where Alastor responds to Sigma. What I addressed was only the second half of the post.

Regardless, thanks, and sorry if I ticked you off, it just seemed like something rather unlikely to me.

Posted again.

For the record, I don't mean to monopolize the group's direction with Artemis' plan, I just figured she'd have something like that prepared. If someone else from the group has a better idea, though, it's more than likely she'll go with it :P

As a curiosity, has the Technocracy taken any positions on deeper biological research? I understand that the Architect and the Medic seem to indicate that a light brush into cybernetics and basic regenerative medicine have occurred, but would things like growing homunculi in vats and genetic experiments with magic users still be looked upon as some form of heretical research?

Gene therapy and such is fine, but messing with magic is a surefire way to get your head blown off by your superiors.
