Shards of Ichor RP Sign-up/CYOA NPC creation thread

*tips the scale to RP* yummy!

I think I've come up with a compromise.

I did that a while ago.

I want my character to be an NPC.,.

*attacks Os*

I'm calm.

Whatcha mean?

That was a joke. We can handle a little wait. I know you can work wonders with a CYOA. Though, how long will we have to wait til act 2, the RP?

I'm not sure. Less than a year is a safe bet.

The scales have been tipped again. We already have enough RPs we are procrastinating about. I would rather see it as a cyoa

This, but a wandering assassin for hire for me. I can give a detaile personality as well until I begin writing him personally.

Name: Orochi
Race: Ley
Gender: Male
Age:61(Looks 30)
Physical Description: 6'10, with a large muscular build. Has upper back length flowing white hair, which he wears freely, and dark golden eyes. His skin is slightly grayish, giving him an exotic, otherworldly complexion. He has two pitch black horns protruding from the top of his head. The horns are spiral horns, but not curved, and as hard as iron. His left horn is slightly cracked, though few know why. He wears pitch black armor with spiked shoulder pads. His armor is made of an unknown material, and it seems to be alive. He has an armored tail, which extends from his leggings, that gives him a very reptilian appearance. He is very rarely seen without his armor, and has an odd serpent shaped birthmark on his right shoulder.

Background: He was born to unknown parents, and presumably left for dead. He was found by a traveling Elder Ley, known only as the Sage, on an eerily silent night. He was just an infant, leaning against a twisted tree in an otherwise desolate landscape. He was an odd baby, and rarely cried. The Sage took him in and raised him as his own. He named him Orochi, as the baby's only identifying mark, was an oddly shaped birthmark. He travelled with the Sage for many years, and learned much wisdom from him. On the Sage's deathbed, he entrusted Orochi, now a young man, with carrying on his mission: to travel the world, and find a way to unite the races, because only then, could the world return to the way it once was. The Sage then told his young son of a dream he once had, of a world filled with wildflowers, before passing from this world. Orochi travelled as a mercenary for quite some time, becoming an accomplished warrior and Elemental, but he didn't find what he was searching for until much later. A chance encounter on the way back from a job changed his life forever. Deciding to take a shortcut through a certain forest, he came across a woman, bathing in a stream. She was a Ley too, and she mesmerized him. She shared with him her ambitions, her dream for a united world, and he pledged his loyalty to her. At this point in his life, Orochi was unusually powerful, even more so than a lot of Elder Ley, and with him at her side, she quickly solidified her power. The first city she took was rich in minerals, and for her guardian's loyalty, she rewarded him with a set of armor as black as night, forged from Moon Rock, and took him as her consort.

He is a solemn, quiet man, who firmly believes in not wasting words or actions. Because of this, and his intimidating presence, he has become known as 'The Silent Giant'. He is a fiercely loyal man, and surprisingly wise. He loves nature, but he also understands the need for progress. He enjoys board games, oddly enough, and is quite good at them. He plays regular games with his mistress, but loses more often than not. While he is generally very patient, he is quick to anger if anyone insults his mistress or her dream. He also has a dry and witty humor, and is prone to becoming lost in thought from time to time.

In battle, he enjoys fooling his opponents into thinking his armored tail is a liability, and he's too slow to react. He lures his opponents in, and then finishes them in a single blow. However, when fighting seriously, he prefers to end things quickly, in a single Lightning and Thunder maneuver.

Occupation: Queen Galisa's Bodyguard, and weapon.
Personality Trait: Stalwart, loyal, and gentle.
Motivations: He seeks to unite the Ley, and all the other races of the world, in an effort to help rebuild the planet. His dream is to create a world brimming with wildflowers.
Skill Set: Strategy, Tactics, and Warfare. He is also well versed in politics, art, and theatre. He is a brilliant tactician, said to be able to predict up to 10 seconds in the future. This, combined with his far reaching vision, has led to rumors of him being clairvoyant.

Physical Trait: Size. Orochi's immense size and strength gives him almost titanic power, allowing him to deal earth splitting blows and making him a virtual mountain. However, he is also slower than average as a result, though he is anything but clumsy, and has learned to use his own slowness to his advantage.

Abilities: Control over fire, Blue Fire, Lightning, and the Weather. He can command any source of fire at will, and unleash it with immense destructive force. He can summon rainstorms and lightning storms at will. He can charge his own weapon with lightning, making it even deadlier.

Tools: Eternal Void, a giant scythe with a gleaming blade said to never rust or break. The shaft of the scythe is black metal and six feet long, with a worn leather handle, and the blade itself is three feet long and curved. Strips of white cloth are tied around the middle of the weapon, which flap eerily in the wind. Although, their primary use is to distract enemies in battle. He also carries a small short sword, and a hunting knife.
