I'm going to hold off on introducing Troy for a bit. Need to get back in the writing groove.

Right on. You must do what you feel is right. We'll be here still when you're ready to roll.

 

[wiegeabo]

I'll try and post tonight. But if not, I probably won't be around until Tuesday.

No worries. It's not like you'd be holding anyone up. If you can't get something up before you take off, so be it.

But you best get a post up on Tuesday...or else.

 

[wiegeabo]

Or else what?


*notices the raw power of his character*


I see...so...drinks all around?

Trying to bribe an Irishman with alcohol?




Well played.

 

[wiegeabo]

It's important to know one's adversary.

 

[Optikal]

Just letting y'all know that I've lost internet connection for a few days. Hopefully I'll be reposting by the beginning of next week.

 

[SuperFerret]

If you've lost internet connection, how're you posting?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

He's a witch! Burn him!!!

He turned me into a newt!

Gods & Men: The Ancient Myths RPG: SEASON I

Screen Name: Eddie Brock

Character you have created (include known alias or nicknames here as well): Fosco Cobblebrook

Race/Culture (What race is your character, and, if human, what culture does your character hail from, for example is your character Roman, Athenian, Celtic, Norse, Spartan, Persian, etc) (GMs must approve of any race not part of the big 5: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, and Orc): Halfling

Racial Traits (traits specific to your race; a list can be found in the second post of the OOC thread) (For races not listed, GMs must create traits for that race first before player approval): Heightened Hearing (The ears of a halfling are more astute than those of a human. As such, they are able to discern sounds that a human might otherwise mistake or not even hear); average life span of 80

Character Class (Somewhat similar to the classes in the CAH RPG, but with some differences) (Choose One):

Rogue (the classic cutthroat, rogues excel at the underhanded arts; rogues include thieves, highwaymen, assassins, smugglers, pickpockets, and general scoundrels)

Patron Deity (only required for those under the Paladin heading or those who are a priest, cleric, or other divine agent; others may choose one if they wish to flesh out their character more) (Your Patron Deity MUST be from the pantheon significant to your character's culture, I.E. no Odin worshipping Egyptian Priestess) (For the pantheons of the non-human races, see the links below the app): Brandobaris

Magic (if your character is a Mystic, choose from the following schools of magic to specialize in. NOTE: A player will only be able to cast spells that deal with their schools, forsaking all others, so choose carefully. A mystic gets 4 points to spend in deciding their skill level in magic: 1 point equals minor skills in the chosen school, 2 points equal moderate skill, and 4 equals mastery in the school of choice. Paladins receive 1 point, and it must go towards Protection; Spellswords get only 1 point, and can choose any school to specialize in; Minstrels get 2 points and at least one must go towards Enchantment) (Descriptions of the schools and the point system can be found in a reserved post in the OOC Thread): N/A

Speech Color and/or Font (actually say what you're using, i.e. Arial Black; don't go "Like this", or what not): Bold Purple Verdana

Character Alignment (Good/Evil/Neutral): Neutral (leaning good)

Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): Fosco is something of a loner. He is a vagabond and a thief, but he only steals what he needs to survive. He's quick to help another in need, especially someone younger or weaker than he. He's become accustomed to his one-man life, but deep down he longs for companionship. He's always had a sense of adventure about himself. He throws himself headfirst into situations where the possibility of excitement is high.

Origin Info/Details (don't be blunt, be as thorough as possible): Fosco has always been something of a traveler. He grew up in the British Isles, but he's been all across Europe - spending years in Hispania, Rome, and Gaul. He's never had much of a stable life, and he currently resides in the Holy Land.

Attributes (Select one from each category) (some races are greater or weaker than a human in specific categories and will be noted below or in the racial traits section of the OOC thread):

Strength Level: Weak Human

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Peak Human

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort/Durability: Normal Human

Agility: Peak Human

Intelligence: Average

Fighting Skill: Trained

Resources: Minimal

Notable Equipment (Items your character has on them of relevance, such as thieving tools if they're a rogue, holy items if they're a priest, magic weapons and/or armor, magic items, etc; we assume you're character has basic stuff, like rations, waterskin, and a torch or lantern; be as specific as possible as well as realistic as possible, I.E. if your character is carrying a ton of stuff their mobility and endurance will be sorely hindered; also keep in mind that magic items are rare, expensive, and difficult to make) (For ideas for notable equipment, and magic items, check out the link below the app): Fosco is a vagabond, carrying all of his earthly possessions in a sack on his back. Fortunately (or unfortunately), he has very few earthly possessions to speak of. Other than rations, fresh clothes, and a lantern, Fosco has several tools of his trade. Smoke pellets to escape hairy situations, a lockpick, and a short knife for absolute emergency. Also, he carrys a pan flute around his neck for whenever the musical inspiration hits him.

Weaknesses (If your character has any specific weakness, such as a vampire's weakness to sunlight (among other things) or a Faerie's weakness to iron, list them here): Fosco's size, while it can often be an advantage, is also a hinderance at times. His lifestyle often gets him into trouble, naturally. He's a little too eager and adventurous for his own good sometimes.

Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? A Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?): None. Fosco has no real friends or family to speak of.

Describe using proper English grammar what you think you can bring to the RPG: Honestly? A fun, little character that can - hopefully - become part of something larger.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as my situation necessitates.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

Sample Post (Minimum Four decent-sized paragraphs containing dialogue):

"...And so, with a heavy heart, I bid my Elven friends adieu and moved on through Gaul," I conclude. Using both my hands, I raise my mug and let the mead flow into my welcoming mouth. I wipe the dribble from my chin with the back of my hand. I smile pleasantly to the man sitting next to me at the bar.

"You lived with the Elves in the forest for a year?" he repeats disbelievingly. He snaps his fingers and flicks a gold coin in the direction of the bartender. The bartender takes his mug and refills it, sliding it back across the bar. Before he takes a sip, the man announces, "I find that awfully hard to believe."

I wink and explain, "My friend, we have a saying back where I come from. 'If a story is entertaining enough, whether or not it's true should not matter.'" I look down into my mug, noting the last few drops of mead collecting at the bottom. And here I am, all out of coins. "Wouldn't you agree?" I ask.

The man shrugs. "I just don't much see the point in telling a story that isn't true," he replies.

"Well, didn't I already tell you? It's for fun!" I pat him playfully on the shoulder - damn near losing my balance in the process. I note the dazed look in his eyes. "Alright, you want a real one?" I ask sincerely. "Now, this one takes place in Rome..."

Between the mead in his stomach and the sound of my voice, the man is completely oblivious to my reaching hand. Next thing you know, I'm the proud owner of a hefty coin purse. I slide a coin across the bartender and motion to my mug.

My companion is none the wiser.

[Johnny Blaze]

I was wondering if we'd get in halflings in the game.

About ****ing time.

 

[Carnage27]

Yes...Amun looks like The Rock.

 

[twylight]

The Rock = sexy

Also I have no idea what I'm doing!! *flails around*

 

[Catman_prb]

Isn't that the general idea?

 

[twylight]

*shoots water bullets at everything*

 

[Carnage27]

The Rock = sexy

The Rock is one of my favorite personalities of all time, and THE best professional wrestler ever. no one will ever top him. And, while he picks some of the worst movies to be in, he is a good actor.

On another note, I'm having quite possibly the most fun I've had in an RPG in this game. Keep it up guys.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Oh, it's on. "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."

 

[Johnny Blaze]

FYI people, no army marched on Athens. It was strictly a flight of dragons that wiped the city out in the night. So there would be no trail of destruction leading anywhere.
