The Lore thread is a great read.

What is the currently plot in the IC?

But I read with a focus on Atlas and Achesia's Posts.
So far, my Application:Jack Copperhand (born Thaltrak Prince Darkspine; aka. Jone Ghongik, manservant of Jarl Asborn)(Image)
Race: Beastman
Gender/Sex: Male
Age: 26
Appearance: A noble pattern of black and white fur, a pleasent, soft face, making other Beastmen misjudgeing for 20, 22 at most.
Class: Agent?
Equipment: Mercenary stuff: Atgeir (a glaive-like spear), battleaxe and round shield, quiver with 5 wardarts, armor (gambeson, maile with plate chestpiece and gauntlets, scale-mail skirt, in battle a Barbute helmet, tailored for him.), bandages, bedroll, food-bag, water-skin, jug of meat, basic weapon and armor field repair tools
Spy stuff: paper, a quill fitted for the hands of a beastman, ink, disappearing ink, rope, grapple-hook, spy-glass, 3 smoke bombs, bag with caltrops, garotte
Magical stuff: incense (focus for comuning with nature), silver bowl (for scrying), ring of brief invisibility (15 seconds, 1/day)
Skills: Even though this is only a cover identity, Jack can compellingly prove his worth in a battle, trained in all infantry matters, especially in formation fighting.
In truth, his real strengths are his mind and his sneaky feet: Serving as Jarl Asborn's eyes and ears, Jack understands well all common languages of Eroris, excluding Aduran (Do the two elvens have a common language? If not, he does not speak Valyar either, no need to understand those southerners for a Norraväggian). While in his homeland, he can get away with earsdroppign on the Jarls political opponents in plain sight (disguised as a servant or any other low-life Lupan; Nords often ignore such), in foreign lands he can rely on hiding unseen, too (depending on the environment, anyway)
As a Lupan of noble bloodline, he holds some social and magical power, too, even if this is rarely acknoledged by humans or elves. Lower class Beastmen will often react respectful just due to his composure. Dominant (eventually other noble-born) Lupans, however, may react hostile, since his identity is secret and him acting and scenting like an alpha can be interpreted as presumptuousness, too.
Moreover, he is blessed with magical powers: Jack can call upon the spirits of nature, commune with them to share their knowledge with him. This is easiest in the light of the full moon, where Luna, emmisary of Norrav can grand the clearest visions. A rarer ability is, to have powerful spirits bless the area around him, giving it a (limited) shielding from the influences of the Dread Lords (and sometimes other forces, too. - It's a rare thing and rather unpredictable)
Weaknesses: Lupan women mostly. He does have a strong libido.
While he can usually conceal it, he has not entirely lost his pride, when faced with too many predjudice against his kin, his facades may break.
For a supposed agent, he is rather impulsive, prefering direct approaches and sometimes he is quite optimistic concerning the dangers.
While magic is in his blood, his education on the matter has been of lower quality and the results may vary.
Bio: Born to Vuncag Prince Darkspine (There is no King Darkspine anymore, but the title clearly has some connection to a specific mountain range in western Norravägg, formerly known by that name) as the second son, he would not be the heir to the bloodline but rather his birth was kept a secret and he was given to Vuncag's liege, Jarl Asborn (or rather his father Ansgar, but Ansgar was very old already), as a servant and hostage. He learned of his true family at the age of 12 but also understood, that his place in life was to be the servant of the Jarls, a lot he had come to accept already. After all, he had it much better then most Lupans, receiving a top notch education, a solid, small house right next to the Jarl's longhouse, good food and some liberties concerning discipline. Thaltrak, who went by the nord Name Jone at that time, truely was friends with - and loyal to - the Jarl.
And so his educations, in various fields, such as language, melee combat, etiquette and ambush tactics came to a conclusion, when Asborn started to send him out onto missions, gathering information or delivering very special packages or letters. He proved very effective at the task, mostly due to the fact, that many Nords simply did not expect a Lupan to be a spy. His training however was not finished. He learned the use of dagger and garotte, tools of the assassin. And finally came the day, when he was supposed to put this skills to use, too. A bard of unknown identity was traveling through the fief, supposedly slandering the Jarl and spreading lies about his ancestry, supposedly to prepare a takeover of the Jarldom by Jarl Wulfgar's brother Olaf. In fact, Jone found the bard, heard the lies and later brought the man to justice but not before following him around a bit and when he tried to figure out the human after the deed, there were some loose ends: Payment in coins, all minted recently and in the southernmost Jarldom (You know, near the gate through the Orrin's Wall), none in Wulfgard's fief; a contact with a strange accent, a fighting style not common to the Nords and a cyphered message, much to elaborate considering the fact, that him slandering Asborn in service of Wulfgar was a rather common rumor on the streets already. For all those evidences, Jone concluded, that the bard was not in fact sent by the neighboring Jarl but rather paid by outside forces to incide tension between the Jarls. When he brought this news to Asborn, the Jarl called back another Agent, who then reported of different rumors in Wulfgar's fief, suggesting, that Asborn was planing to steal Wulfgar's famous magical anchestral sword.
Asgar used all his diplomatic skills to defuse the situation and convince Wulfgar, that the two of them were being played. Jone on the other hand was given a new identity: Jack Copperhand, Beastman Mercenary and sent to find the source of these false accusations. This was just about a month before the descendant of Ayduin appeared in Yherion.
RP Sample: ...
Personality: On the surface he is a carefree, simple-minded mercenary. Below he is a brooding, torn between his nature and his duty. Having just recently killed a person after stalking him for several days, this weights heavily on his soul, because it did not exactly scare him and he does not know, whether this is the professional training he had received, or whether there really is a beast like side to his kin, as the humans often proclaim.
Likes: Good food, good meat and wine, wrenching, sports (swimming, running)
Dislikes: Hot days, zealous priests, boring stuff.

I'm still going over some aspects, like his approach on violence and actual combat experience.
I might eventually also introduce the Jarl, if it gets more political but would like it to be more character focused.

Raj do, but only in a certain circumstance (an exception for me that Everhall made, long story).
