Age: 16
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Class: Knight
Skills: Swordplay & fighting
Weapons: A blue, hilted short-sword with a black gem embedded into the hilt's core.

Personality: Stoic and calm, but quietly caring for the few he cares for

What's the duck?: Life Itself

Short Biography: Pouli's mother, Casandaria Kay, spent much of her childhood admiring the beautiful flocks of birds that flew past her family's land. She kept this hobby throughout her life until her death, which is how she came up with the name of her son: Pouli, which means "Bird, or Little Bird" in an ancient tongue. Pouli's father was a powerful lord and a prominent bannerman of the old king. His father died in battle when he was fourteen and his mother soon followed a year later, due to "heartbreak" Pouli's elder brother, Sylvas Kallias, would put it. With his brother (Whom he has a poor relationship with) now in control of his family's wealth and land, Pouli decided it would be best if he left and make a life for himself. After changing his first name to "Loras" and going by his mother's maiden name, he trekked far from home and eventually found himself in a town square where there was a bounty for the kidnapping of two girls. He figured this would be his first step into making a new life for himself and decided to take the contract. little did he know, however; that it would change his life forever.

Would a crossbow fit with this rp's tech, or should I stick with a bow?

Name: Vylkan Grün
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Class: Huntsman
Skills: Expert survival skills and stealth, and adept with a dagger, bow, and crossbow.
Weapons: Steel dagger and shortsword, and a crossbow and quiver with steel-headed bolts.

Personality: Vylkan isn't the social type. Most of the time, he just comes off as stoic and brooding, yet there are plenty of awkward moments where he doesn't catch social queues. He likes to keep to himself, mostly because he doesn't have much to say.
Theme Song: Lindsey Sterling: The Arena
Voice Actor/Actress: Viggo Mortenson
What's the duck?: A L I V E

Short Biography: Vylkan's life has always been one of a hunter, or rather the son of a hunter. Living in small village not too far from Valos, the forest was the primary source of food, no matter how dangerous it was. One day while he was hunting with his father, they were ambushed by a band of monsters, slaying his father and leaving Vylkan for dead. Vylkan would have been killed as well if a pack of wolves hadn't scared the monsters off. He was surprised to find these wolves were relatively friendly, and they taught him simple survival skills before he left in search of a way out of the woods. There he was for the next five years, living and hunting alone in the woods until he found his way by sheer coincidence; but by then, the forrest wa more like home than the village he was raised in. Today, the woods is where he spends most of his time, but he also does mercenery work for anyone who comes to him.

Cross breeds are fine, but know your limits and how to roleplay as a stupid half-monster.

Gods are not playable.

Also, to answer your question earlier, there's going to be a few Gods popping in every now and again.

I believe I mentioned that before?
If a human breeds with a monster, the result is a (by human standards) stupid half-monster.

So, does that mean that all monsters are also stupid by human standards, and that interbreeding causes the monster's genetics to hijack and override whatever human aspect of a nervous system they have?

Pretty much. I'm not an expert at genetics either, but... yeah, it seems about right.

Would be nice if there were some smarter, deadlier monsters around, just like how there are some pretty intelligent non-human animals around in real life. Or perhaps some magical monsters, such as ones made from humans tainted by dark magic and whatnot. Perhaps some particularly dangerous monsters that were arguably smarter than humans, like sphinxes, among other examples?

Ok. So, essentially you're saying all monsters are complete idiots and halfbreeds are helpless.

Monsters could probably be smart, or cunning at least, but since monsters aren't meant to mate with humans, the offspring would still be soft in the head.

What half-monsters are allowed? Minotaurs, fauns, wolfmen, those kind of things? Are evil characters allowed?

Interesting rp, but I'm not sure I have time to join. Maybe.

There are. Dragons are intelligent monsters, often more so than humans, and incredibly deadly...

What I'm saying is that monsters are not supposed to mate with humans, regardless of intelligence.

It might also be interesting if perhaps a dark sorcerer did some sort of experimentation and selective breeding/pseudo-scientific magic-assisted genetic engineering to raise a group (horde/army?) of intelligent halfbreeds.
Going off on a bit of a tangent, but it's another idea, anyway.

It is possible to do that, but there are so many things you'd need to do or find.

Willing humans and monsters comes to mind.
And those usually aren't easy to find.
