Expanse: The City Reboot (Dark Fantasy Epic) Sign Up Thread (Started)

[Technetium]

Your character is insane, and awesome. But to make him just a wincy bit more, I'd give him an extended masochistic side: if he enjoys pain, everyone else should to! That way, spinal growths don't seem so bad

 

[Korten12]

Everyone - Here is the map of the Middle Section, it should clear up some things.

Spoiler

There is also a Southern Mountian Range, Also that there is walls seperating each District.
It is also unfinished due to the member who made it during the original City, left.

Finally finished my character sheet


[h4]Character Sheet:[/h4]

Name: Vergil Crawford
Age: 28
Section: South
Gender: Male
Looks: Is slim built, but has developed muscles, and has lightly tanned skin. He stands at roughly 6'5''. He has dark grey, shoulder length hair, and a similarly coloured trimmed moustache and goatee. His eyes are dark red, but the left eye has a vertical cut across it.
Personality: He has a mixture of being both cool, calm, and collected, but also having tendencies of being a lovable rogue. He acts indifferently towards people of religious vocation, who whilst not being religious himself, respects their beliefs; however when it comes to people who push their religion onto others, then there can be a small level of hostility. Usually he acts somewhat friendly towards Mages, apart from those who boast about their abilities, with whom he generally ignores.
Faction: N/A

Ignore this character. Have made a new one.
Bio: Vergil hails from a nomadic hunting community in the deserts far in the South. When he was a teenager of about fifteen or sixteen years of age, he participated in a ceremony to invoke the special ability called "The Nomad's Eye". This trait allows members of the community to differentiate friend from foe in both low light and crowded situations, but also to see things in much clearer context and clarity (i.e. to see through illusions). By the time he reached twenty, he had become a master hunter, occasionally leading groups of lesser experienced people. However he had also wanted to see more of the world, after hearing stories from passing travellers who stopped by when the community needed supplies that were unavailable by other means. After clearing his decision with his father, the head of the group he set off northward. Along the way he learnt different fighting techniques in both ranged and melee combat. To help cover travelling costs, he hired himself out as a mercenary. Liking the style of earning money through combat he has kept with this profession ever since. He also gained a reputation for being a clever strategist and a quick witted thinker.
Other Info: In terms of weaponry, Vergil has a special longsword that when pressured is applied or when a secret button is pressed the sword can split into two fully functional swords. These are used to surprise the enemy. For ranged weaponry, he possesses a crossbow that is fitted or can be fitted with a compartment to store multiple crossbow bolts, this means he can fire multiple bolts, one at a time without having to reload constantly.

[Isaac The Grape]

Here's my sheet, dissect and put back together as you please, heck light it on fire if that's what you really want to do.

Spoiler: Lucian Grey

Name: Lucian Grey
Age: 22
Section: Middle
Gender: Male
Clothes: Lucian is usually dressed in a simple, loose fitting, hooded cloak all in the hue of midnight that masks his entire visage. Beneath the robes he wears a grey tunic and black trousers with bandage wrappings around the ankles.
Looks:

Spoiler: It ain't pretty....

Personality: Lucian's demeanour is a difficult thing to truly encompass . Usually Jovial and cheery, he presents himself as being a rather sociable person. However, when pushed to the brink his personality has an unhealthy habit of shifting into something utterly nightmarish; adopting a careless disregard for human life and gleeful sadism . Lucian is a solipsist and views the world around him as
" A Rather Persistent Dream " leaving him with the belief that one's own mind is the only thing sure to exist.

Faction: Mage Hunter, Former Osaian

Bio: Much of Lucian's memories are fractured, kept alive by the journals that he had published within his time after the abduction into the cult known as "Osaian". From these entries, and other recorded sources that he had acquired over the years he was able to conclude that his time before the "Experimentation Period" was spent in the slums of Dojeran; A long forgotten district that lingered on the fringes of the stark white mountainous barrier that divided the North and Middle sections of the 'City'.

The recounts of parchment spoke of the chill of the looming mountains seeping down and into the downtrodden streets and alleyways during the winter seasons. The texts mention the spread of death that came with these seasons within the poorer stations, the words etched along of the yellow stained papers spoke of the frostbite ridden corpses that lined the backways, graphic and unrefined in its tone with Lucians parents receiving noticeable mentions in at least 3 entries.

A section of the memoirs mention a great disaster that occurred when Lucian was but of 10 winters; a covert military compound, founded under the banner of the Upper District, had expanded and breached the towering walls of ice and stone through a series of catacombs that ran beneath the mountains only to be swiftly sent into a flurry of chaos and destruction. The tomes spoke of a trembling deep within the very earth and fissures that crept well into the heart of Dojeran.Other letters spoke of a fire that erupted through the streets like a crimson flood, how the smell of charred flesh was rich and pungent in the air. The cross reference with the printed articles of the informer and these papers confirmed the experience as an attack orchestrated by the terrorist group, and Lucians captors, the Osaians.


The following journals were the most chilling of his collection, they speak in present tense of his abduction shortly after the attack, brief descriptions of his captors were documented in the early chapters but seemed to increase in scarcity as the pages turned, replaced by the horrors that were inflicted upon him in the care of the Mages . The details of the experimentation we're varied, sometimes they would contain clues that pointed out the reasons behind his abduction, something about his body displaying oddities . Words he didn't understand like "osteoclast" and "calcium" were inked in scrawlings on the documents, while at other times they merely voiced the agony and torment that the procedures inflicted and plagued him with for (If the dates are correct) years.

The final entry in the plethora of tortured history revealed the final procedure that was performed on Lucian, It was written down as an "Invasive sealing spell" that was to leave his mind in something of a 'blank slate'. The procedure was effective in that it left his mind broken and yearning for information to fill the holes ruptured in his psyche. It would be two whole years before Lucian would discover these hidden documents within his quarters. Two years Lucian served within the Osaian's ranks, however, his devotion was always what his superiors called 'flimsy'. Lucian found the concept of free will to be wondrous, to think and respond with one's own experiences and knowledge being something on par with the gods. But the devout worship that was expected of their followers always struck him as hypocritical to the very teachings of Osaia. With his loyalty already wavering, combined with the discovery of his macabre past, Lucian fled; the revelation that he had been crafted against his free will to be a weapon for the Osaian's was the greatest desecration. It was at this moment that, with what he interpreted as finally attaining his independence , he adopted his belief of " I Think, Therefore I Am. "

Casting off the shackles of the Osaians, Lucian sought refuge deep In the South under the knowledge that with the strong anti-magic stance held within the region, he could plan without his abductors finding a method of capture or return. A year or study and investigation passed before he ultimately joined the 'Mage Hunters' in the hopes of using their resources to track down the mages that made him what he is, either for vengeance or curiosity, his end goals are still a mystery.

Other Info: Before being abducted by the Osaian mages, Lucian Grey possessed a unique ability where his bones would recuperate at an astounding rate. Because of this, he was made the subject of Magical experimentation that evolved his ability further. Lucian can actively control the growth of his bone structure allowing him to produce spine-like blades or a very primitive shielding from almost anywhere on his body. The creation of these growths is often very painful and can even be life threatening in excess.

I foresee many wonderful conversations between our characters!

Can't find a "David Thornberg" on Skype. Could you try adding "Isaacthegrape"?

[Evrant-Knight]

Here is my reworked character.


[h4]Character Sheet:[/h4]

Name: Vergil Crawford
Age: 28
Section: Middle
Gender: Male
Looks: He stands at roughly 6'3'' and has a slim, but well built body. His hair is dark grey in colour, and is just short of being shoulder length; he also has a moustache and goatee of the same colour. His eyes are dark red in colour, but the left eye has a vertical cut across it. His skin is a light tan. For clothing, he wears a mixture of cloth and leather, due to the freedom of movement they grant, although he has modified one of the shoulders with some plate armour for extra protection, and his leather boots have also been modified with plate armour as well. He will wear scarf sometimes to help infiltrate somewhere.
Personality: He tends to act cocky towards figures of authority, often considering them to be inept at their job. His views on religion are somewhat negative, meaning he finds them to be rather boorish and annoying. He acts with indifference towards Mages; neither liking them nor despising them by any major degree, although he does distrust them. His opinion towards the Mages Hunters is that whilst he agrees with some of their views, he does not like their methods. He has been in the company of the Red Stain faction, but has never officially joined. Despite all this, he remains cool, calm, collected, and intelligent, often using his guile and wit to outsmart his pursuers and opponents.
Faction: N/A
Bio: Not much is known about Vergil's birth, nor his parents, since he was discovered abandoned on the streets, luckily he was found by a group of thieves who took him in. As he was growing up he learnt a variety of skills from pick pocketing to lock picking to infiltration and bomb making. It was around his eighteenth birthday that he discovered his gift. It was an ability to see through illusions that mages used to disguise traps; it also allowed him differentiate targets and others in crowded and lowlight situations. Naturally this allowed him to become much more effective as a thief. After some disagreements with some other members, he left to pursue a more solo career as a master thief, being hired by various factions and people.
Other Info: He often carries a sabre and a curved dagger as his melee weapon. Whilst he prefers to tackle enemies up close, he does have a stock of throwing knives, should he need to deal some damage at distance. He also carries a variety of bombs to aid in both escape and infiltration, and a few for crippling foes.

what happened to my faction, the Reavers?

Um... It's been awhile (really has) but was the Reavers like a semi-industrial faction that made stuff?

I also sort of removed it because you sort of vanished. We waited for you to post but you never did and we never heard from you.
