Setting and Character Bios for Limits

[WeeklyAaron]

Unlike most RPG's, we're going to have the setting/bios on a seperate thread from the others. Since this is a private board for the time being, we don't have to worry about this seperation.

Setting

Limits takes place in the land of Tierragae, a land inhabited by so many different creatures that it's nearly impossible to catalog them all. More specifically, Limits takes place around the city Serafim, located near the Aerlith Forest.

Serafirm is a large city diverse in its building styles, ranging from gigantic apartments, to slums, to suburban houses. Shops line the streets. The city has a rich district toward the center, and the further from it one goes, the more dillapatated the buildings, until you get to the outer wall. The Outer Wall is a very shady place with many hidden alleys.

The Aerlith Forest remains largely uncharted at its depths because of the dangerous creatures who inhabit it. However, it is populated with rogues, villains, and exiles.

Serafrim is prosperous and strong because of its proximity to the Dragon of the Wind, one of the Major Eight Elemental Guardians.

Bios

Name: Air

Race: Demonically-enhanced Human

Gender: Male

Appearance: 5'10", with long (six to seven inches) black hair. Medium build, well toned. Emerald green eyes, and smoothe, tanned skin. He has a bright smile. His garb of choice is a simple-looking black cloak, which hangs over his black shirt down to his feet. The cloak contains a number of hidden pockets, containing many items. His pants are also black, made of a soft cloth that bunches around his shoes.

Personality: Good natured, with cynical sense of humor.

Brief History: Air has a complex past. Once a Master Vampire Hunter, he was involved in an assassination plot against the Vampire King that went awry. It resulted in the Vampire King fusing with his body, and wiping his memory. Air eventualy came to recall his past, and oust the Vampire from his body. He reatined his demonic powers, but removed the desire for blood and the fear of the sun.

Powers: Air has the ability to briefly alter the flow of time.

Skills: Air has a knack for bladed weapons, which he discovered after finding one abandoned in an old apartment complex. He cleaned it up, and learned to use it. He named his blade Tempus after his discovery of his power. Lastly, Air has some ability with healing herbs. While not great at applying them correctly, he can rid himself of minor wounds.

Talents: Air is a very persuasive guy, both through his charm, and easy-to-approach persona. He is talented at picking up on things, for which he can practically lie his way out of anything.

Items: Tempus, a canteen *Filled, of course*, jet black cloak, dice, a cool blue rock he found, Journal, pen and ink, handkerchief, and a few healing herbs.

Tempus: Air's blade,Tempus has been a part of his life since the day he awoke from the fusion. He spent the better part of a month cleaning it up, fitting a hilt to it. He carved the word "Tempus" into the handle. That's the only flair on an otherwise simple handle with a black leather grip.

Name:Yusuki Tori

age: 24

race: shapeshifter(prefers to be in a wolf demon form)

features: can be anything she wants to look like. mostly stays in one form 70% of the time. her original form is a wolf demon her true form before she got her newfound powers with her mystical staff with when she tranforms into something it absorbs into her body.She takes the combination of both forms. Her dog like ears sit at the top of her head. No markings show on her face or arms.

[Zaulche]

Name: Zaulche

Age: 42 (Comparable to an approximate human age of 26.)

Race: Half-Elf (Half human, half elf)

Gender: Male

Magic: Divine Magic, Geomancy (Manipulation of natural elements).

Skills: Zaulche is good with handling animals, treating injuries, tracking, and making potions out of herbs. He is also very knowledgeable about nature and is very alert to his surroundings.

Origin: Zaulche is the son of a human mother and an elven father. He grew up on a small homestead, near the outskirts of a forest, located between an elven village and a human thorp in a temperate zone.

Appearance: At approximately 5'8" and 152 pounds, Zaulche is very plain, with hair that is kept short. His eye color is phthalo green and his hair color is dark sepia. His only distinguishing feature is a tattoo like mark on his face identifying him as a Sage of Sil’Hona.

Clothing: Leather armor and a Wolfwere Hide Cloak. The leather ranges in color from darker brown to lighter tan; the wolfwere hide cloak is a light gray and is held in place across the shoulder by a dark green pendant.

Physique: Somewhat sickly in his youth, he was eventually able to overcome his frail build and become very tough. He is also naturally dexterous, though not very strong. He has a medium build and is approximately 5’6’’ and 148 lbs. with a fair skin complexion.

History: During his young adulthood, Zaulche’s mother became ill with a severe chronic disease and he set out to find the medicine required to cure her. During the course of several years, he found Alauzke (A wolf, and his animal companion), became a Druid, established his own grove, and gained the favor of a goddess of nature, Sil’Hona. Eventually he found the necessary ingredients, only to return home shortly after his mother passed away. His father disowned him and Alauzke became his only family. After a few more years Zaulche became a Sage via a ceremony in which the Goddess Sil’Hona established a spiritual connection with Zaulche and Alauzke. This process also awakened Alauzke, and they were both marked as personal followers of Sil’Hona.

Persona: Reading extensively as a youth combined with a lot of life experiences gained as a Druid and by Sil’Hona has made him fairly intelligent and wise. Unfortunately he lacks a lot of tact and did not interact much socially as a youth, making him very blunt. This leads Zaulche to be passive and very mildly tempered. Although he does not like that which is evil he understands its importance to maintaining a neutrally balanced world.

Items: Quarterstaff blessed by the Goddess Sil'Hona as part of the Sage ceremony (magically enhancing the strength of the wood and giving it the ability to harm supernatural beings), a sling, a water skin, and two small sacks filled with herbs and such attached to a belt.

Name: Alauzke

Age: 10

Race: Wolf (Awakened Large Wolf)

Gender: Female

Skills: Alauzke is good at hiding, listening, moving silently, spotting, and tracking (especially if tracking by scent). She is also decent at tripping opponents when she attacks.

Origin: Exact area, time, or place of conception is unknown.

Appearance: Slightly larger than the average wolf. Her eye color is phthalo blue and her fur has various color patterns, ranging from medium gray to off-white. She has the same mark on her face that Zaulche does, though it appears as differently colored fur instead of a tattoo.

Physique: Stronger and tougher than the average wolf, but not as fast.

History: When still a cub, her pack was caught in a trap, but the poachers left her to die in the forest because she was so small. Zaulche found her after leaving his own home and treated her so that she could heal. Since her family had been killed, she then stayed with Zaulche after she completely healed, considering him and any of his companions to be her pack. Over time she became very loyal, and even though they share no mental link they have worked together enough that they can read each other’s actions very well. She now considers herself Zaulche’s guardian, in return for the aid he has given her.

Persona: Before awakening she was loyal to Zaulche, only leaving his side in extreme cases of fear, but otherwise acted as the average wolf. After awakening her personality was comparable to that of a mellow guardian (She considers herself Zaulche’s guardian as he finds his way as a Sage). Though usually quite unless spoken to, she is quick to become annoyed with many humanoid activities.

[whitekatsu]

Name: Zigor

Personality and History: Zigor is essentially a variation of incarnation. His past life ended in his murder, the memories of which he still recalls. His recollection tends to lead him to be quiet and aloof in an attempt to protect himself from any further damage or betrayal. He speaks little, though when he does, it's either fairly lengthy and somewhat poetic or short and sharp.

Appearance: What you can see of Zigor is covered in silvery grey, almost blue fur/feathers. He is an upright walking beast with wings as his forelimbs. His wingspan is not too impressive, only being barely less than twice his height. The fluff near the bend and shoulder tend to be more fur than feather.
His hindlimbs are long and covered in fur, save his feet. His feet are like an eagle's shins and talons, covered in pale lavendar scales. Short black claws tip the end of his grasping talons.
His torso is shaped like a human's, though covered in his silvery fur. His face seems to be human, but is hidden by his hair. His fringe falls past his clavicle, but the rest of his hair ends just above his bird-like tail. The end of his hair is jet black, which gradually fades to pale ash-grey near his scalp. Two ears perch atop his head, the tips being black and fading to the silver grey fur that coats his body. The hair barely parts to allow dusty-coloured eyes to stare out. The pupils seem to slit like a cat's twice, giving the center black sliver a darker diamond boundary. (See icon for eye, save that the color for the surrounding fur/skin is off.)

Skills: The ability to see one's soul beast, whether it be light or dark, weak or strong.

Items: A canteen and a small pouch filled with potions, elixers, food, and perhaps other items.....

Talents: A lithe tongue.

Powers: Can control water and air.

Physique: Zigor is physically weak, yet emotionally strong and adept at using his powers and his logic.

Gender: Male... duh...

Personality: She is optimistic, compassionate, free-spirited, and determined.

History: During the Elven festival of the New Year, the archenemy of the elven race, Slaadi, attacked Piper’s village in the midst of carefree bliss.
