Land of Mythology: The Seven Kingdoms

[Master_Archon]

Hm, I need something to join to get back into the swing of things on LF. (And trust me starmark, there will be no uberstupidity on my part. Though my character's kind of strange.)

 

Name: Sib Chike

Kingdom: Oasisan Tribes

Sex: Male

Age: 30

Class: Acolyte; Former Gladiator

 

Appearance: 6’8” tall, ash gray skin with flecks of tan, long narrow ears, and glittering amber eyes, lithe and svelte but well muscled and toned. Wears no shirt most of the time, but will wear a simple frock on occasions where decency matters. Wears baggy, loose fit silk pants that have runic symbols inscribed down the sides, and around the ankles of the pantlegs. He lacks any form of footwear, preffering, even on civil occasion, the freedom granted being barefoot. He has no hair, is covered with scars, and has tattoos on his shoulders, head, and neck. He is missing his right hand and has a metal cuff that covers where he used to have a hand, wearing a thick metal gauntlet over the other hand; usually he has his flail attached to this cuff. On civil occasions he wears a cuff that is more ornate, with a small hook.

 

Weapons/Equipment:

• Massive Flail attached to his right metal cuff
  
• Large Metal Claws that attach to his left gauntlet

 

Specialist Skills/Knowledge:

• Silent Stalking/Instill Fear - He is unnaturally capable of stalking someone out of sight, but not out of mind, this in turn instills fear.
  
• Knowledge: Weakness – His untold years of carnage and battle in both arena and field, and the variety of opponents he’s faced has given him knowledge of the weakness of others.

 

Magic:

• Unnerving Gaze - He can instill fear and drop the morale of all those within sight of his eyes, and a secondary effect causes visions of dead loved ones or mortal enemies to appear in the minds of others who are subject to being held in his gaze for a prolonged time, this causes temporary dementia. This ability was granted to him when he paid respects at a small shrine to the minor deity Charon, Pluto’s ferryman.
  
• Carnage - This deadly ability, granted to him by the god Set, allows for him to gain a little strength for every bit of blood he spills, and whenever blood gets on him in particular, he becomes more feral, making him very…unreasonable. This ability only lasts a minute, and after that minute all effects wear off, and it leaves the caster drained of energy.

 

Bio: Sib’s parents were both partial blooded Oasisans, his father having some dwarven blood in him, his mother being half elf, because of this it caused him to be born with unclean blood. Born an ill omen to his small nomadic tribe, he was born with long pointed ears, like an elf, this was from his mother. His eyes were a glistening amber, like a mix of Dwarf and Oasisan, this was from his father, but this was not what set him apart in his tribe, it was his skin, dark and grey, with only some tan flecks to show his Oasisan heritage. This omen , his skin, was a sign of carnage…destruction.

Growing up was a great pain, for his parents had both died by the time he was at least seven, his mother died giving birth to him, his father died in the war. On top of this he was constantly blamed for the war, as if his skin, the omen, had brought it about, being young and naïve, he believed them. He was an outcast, even to his older brother and sister who showed him contempt, blaming him for their parents’ deaths. They were fortunate enough to be adopted, he was like the village dog, raised by everyone and no one. He never realized what a good life he had until his village was attacked by Shasatowa renegades, desperate for supplies and money, desperate enough to take prisoners, and sell them to a

”legal”

slave caravan. This attack created a deep seated contempt for Wood Elves within him.

He was sold off to the arena in a major city of the Oasisan people; there he went through years of tormentful training, and eventually combat. After a couple years he had grown in fame, and traveled to other arena’s in other nations, until he was finally recalled back to the southern desert where he was put into battlefield combat. Before this he had grown hateful of his life as a

gladiator

, and attempted to escape, and stole the arena keys, but was caught, and for punishment, his right hands was cut off; but in time they reequipped him with the cuff and gauntlet he has today, and the weapons attached to them. His time in the war was around the end of it, but it was more than enough combat for one person to be in, let alone someone who kept surviving through every battle.

The years after the war he spent as a free man, roaming until he found a temple dedicated to Set in the Great Desert. Here he stayed, and rested, and meditated, until requested by the Oasisan High Priest-King ( or whoever dominates the Oasisan people) to travel to Arothrif. (Since steven’s character was asked to go by the goddess Isis, and not formally by any ruler. At least I think that’s what happened with steven’s character…right?)

 

Personality: Though he seems like he'd be a kind of stand-offish kind of guy, he's actually very personable, he can takes jokes, and he knows foreign etiquette. The only thing is, is he's shy, not being used to much verbal contact.

 

If this character’s too….you know, meh-ish, starmark, then I’ll change him.

 

Edit: Did what you said starmark2k, and gave him a hand. Got rid of his boots.

[starmark2k]

@ Master_Archon- Your characters fine only I don’t get why you want your character to have both his hands missing. I can’t see how you intend for him to function properly. I’d prefer you to give him at least one hand but I won’t force the issue if you really want both his hands not to be there

 

@ALL- Ok I’ve done more to the map Here

And I’ve done one showing the Journey path Here

 

And this is the legend all our characters would have heard and explains why they believe the Angel’s heart will save the World…

 

Legend of the Dark Lords

 

Over millennia ago before the Seven Kingdoms went to War with each other they were all allied in peace and friendship. They built a temple in the middle of all the lands in which representatives could meet and discuss how the seven lands could progress united, for a long time each culture sent their wisest to the Great Temple of Harrison.

 

This went well until those who would become the last representatives all had the same dream on the same night. Vanessa the Valkyrie, Atsban the Dwarf, Absaterii the Wood Elf, Phasmir the Kavari, Jessa the Amazon, Kedset the Oasisan and Selt The Island Elf discussed the meaning of this shared dream. They came to the conclusion that they had to travel far to the east, to a temple beyond the seven empires that each saw in the Vision.

 

They Journeyed for several days until they came across the Temple, The Temple of Eternal Twilight, unknowing how it got there the seven went inside to investigate it. Exploring all the rooms they found an artefact glistening in the dark, Kedset a Priest sensed great Power from it and warned them.

 

The Items power although not dark begun to corrupt Vanessa, Atsban, Absaterii and Phasmir. Each began to crave the power within the Item; they named the Angel’s Heart, and they used it to grant them with this power. The corruption made them evil and they began to plot how they would take control of all the Kingdoms and rule the Lands, but they knew they would not be powerful enough to go against the Kingdoms and decided to wait while there power grew.

 

The three who were not corrupted by the power knew they could use the item that corrupted the others to destroy them, but it failed. Kedset and Jessa died by the hands of the dark lords, Selt survived and took the Angel’s heart from the temple so the Dark Lords could not use it to become more powerful.

 

Selt broke the angel’s heart into two and hid one part in the Hades canyon and the other in the Oasis of Ra knowing the Dark lords would not find them there. He died after telling is tale to those who would listen, warning them that the Dark Lords will grow in Power and attack the World.

 

Note: Although I refer to her as a Dark Lord, Vampox is Female.
