Finished one. i don't know whether I was genius or just plain lazy but I like the idea of having a beautiful girl suffering from suppressed personality who meets her special someone in the program who manages to free her mind from the curse. Just seemed so romantic XD I hope the story isn't too lackluster though, I wasn't wuite happy with it.

Mind you the flaw in my logic is that someone would have to be willing to have a character go into a relationship with her which is stupid for a first character so I tried to at least ease that process a little by making her bisexual.

If you're wondering who I'm referring to as Medus in her history the Medus were another species I was going to create but creating two species at once becomes so obnoxious after a while (been sitting here for seven hours straight thinking of concepts, going through my da picture collection etc.). For a quick reference, Medus look like this:
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide



Player Name: Jeufufns

Character Name: Sirbia

Race/Lineage:  Moonlight Golem



Home Plane: Nocturne

Special Strengths:

- enhanced speed and flexibility

- doesn't need food to survive

Specific weaknesses or vulnerabilities

- Moonlight golems are composed of a soul and a body made of compatible relics, as such any powers that sever magical connections or devour souls become lethal to them.

- get along badly with others originating from nocturne (fear - see description)

- needs moonlight every other day to survive.

Description:

Moonlight Golems are creatures created through a human soul fusing with magical artifacts during full-moon, igniting a flame that allows the soul to live with the relics as a body created to resemble a humanoid form as closely as possible. Golems are mindless as long as their personality hasn't been freed, killing every living thing in their path and eating it to fuel their fire. The stronger the fire the stronger the golem becomes, but the fire is only kept alight when the moon shines so excessive periods without moonlight can become lethal.

The soul is only needed to awaken the golem, it does not retain memories and stays suppressed as long as it hasn't been freed in a way that varies from soul to soul. In their suppressed state a golem will use it's often combat-focused body, to go on a mindless rampage on everything living, making it a feared sight for weaker inhabitants or humans of Nocturne. The fire of a golem is what keeps a golem together, and while the fire burns brightest in full moon, it's dangerously weak during sunlight. Thanks to the protective metal her body is made of she is mostly safe, but things like swimming are impossible. Only the head is to some part organic. Because of that the head can't be there in the first place so the golem has to retrieve one. It searches until it kills it's first victim and assimilates it's head. As the golem's endless walk continues, it searches for parts that look like her human form, assimilating them until her face resembles that of her human form, or an idealized version of it depending on the soul's personality. The headless stage is the most dangerous one for a golem as other predators see them as weak when they have no head and destroy them. The headless stage is only a day to a maximum of a week but their nature of simply walking forwards endlessly dooms them to run across someone at some point, making the amount of golems that survive the headless phase only about 60%. Due to their rarity this number might vary greatly from area to area but when they passed the headless phase most species hide from them, allowing their lifespan to reach an average of 100 years until a higher ranked creature or a gang of half-competent creatures destroy them.

Only about 3% of golems awake from their mindless slaughter, often not living long because other predators see their awakening as weakness they can use. When awakened the golems still don't retain memory but are able to speak and think, unlocking the human senses one by one. They're often confused or horrified by their path of slaughter, those that aren't killed by other predators committing suicide during the first few hours of their awakening.

Concealment: no concealment (due to quarantine)

Sex:  female

Age: 21(human - conscious), 13 (golem - instinct-guided), total 34

Role: none (surveillance)

Occupation: none (due to protective surveillance)

Living Arrangements: Sentinel Program - Protective Surveillance

Sexual Orientation:  Bisexual

Ons & Offs:  https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=238312.0

Place of Birth: homeless (due to nature of birth)

Personality:

When in normal state (beginning of rp): -mindless (attacks on sight)

After awakening:

- Affectionate - Glad she has someone to take care of her during her awakened state, she almost reactively decided to make up her gruesome past.

- Intelligent - Even with her lacking life experience she learns quickly, her intelligence above average.

- Charismatic - With her awakening she gained a certain charm unique to her, combining with her appearance to make her seem unique and precious.

- Discouraged - Remembering what she did during her mindless state makes her depressed and makes her question her right to live under the humans.

- Forgiving - She commited so many horrific deeds that no small mistake shocks or bothers her anymore. In her mind there's more important things than hacking around on small mistakes.

- pretty- I dare you to say no to that face

- Sensitive - any kind of rejection makes her connect it to her heritage, resulting in depression and social anxiety

History:

The story begins with her human form. A young woman, forced to work long shifts for the Medus, a snake folk living under ground. The work served as tribute to the Medus, securing their safety. People who failed to pay were transformed into a Medus. It wasn't a glorious life but she and others managed to keep themselves alive, at least until they became ill. While the Medus were keen on keeping their slaves healthy and fed, exhaustion was a completely different factor. A woman as young as she was, she was doomed to collapse at some point. Her illness wasn't severe but with her constant state of exhaustion it was easy for the bacteria to take over her body and kill her.

A soul desperate for a better life, resenting it's years of slavery traveled, resisting the temptation of the afterlife. It took a while, flying past the castles and cities of Nocturne until it found a few weapons and parts of debris scattered through a small area. Not caring how it got there or even able to comprehend such information, the soul began to collect the parts under the full moon, entranced by the process. Once the soul arranged the parts to fit it's picture of itself. The light of the moon fused the parts together, the soul sacrificing consciousness to live again. Once the body ignited in it's greenish blue flames, signaling it's completion, it stood up, devoid of thought.

The headless phase began. A boar crossed her path, scared at her sudden appearance. Her claw ended it's life quickly, stealing it's eyes to look for prey. Over the years it collected more and more different pieces to form one face, meant to resemble the souls deepest wishes and ideals. She was one of those not killed during her headless phase and she survived for 13 years until a rift suddenly grabbed her and thrusted her through a thread that connected Terra and Nocturne, making her reemerge in the wildlands of California. Her rampage was dealt with quickly, though difficult to stop. After a very difficult capture she was brought to protective for studying.

Family: none

Special Abilities: none

Special artifact/item: none (theoretically her entire body is an artifact)

Martial Skills: Uses increased speed and flexibility combined with the saw on her left arm and the claw on her right arm to fight and cut her prey apart.

Untamed Skies

We're looking it over and discussing the history, but our first concern is that by placing her in quarantine it significantly reduces your options with her, to the extent you won't be able to do almost anything with the character of your own initiative.

If you take a look at the information in Sentinel HQ, you'll get a better idea for it.

Juggtacular

I'm not a GM, so feel free to ignore this as I'm not trying to overstep my bounds. Maybe when Sentinel finds her, instead of quarantining her, they just put her under "protective surveillance"? Which is basically a nice way of saying they get a person or two to keep their eyes on her while she acclimates to the new environment, and they double as enforcers to sort of wrestle her back into behavior if she acts up

. As Sentinel has dealt with multitudes of magical creatures for centuries, and it's obvious many are often not in their right mind for one reason or another, but since she is intelligent, they just try and get her used to the life she has found herself in.

Like we said, quarantine is very limiting, so we were basically suggesting maybe take a different approach to her relationship with Sentinel ourselves, so if Jefufns likes that idea, then we can roll with it.


Jeufufns

The "protective surveillance" idea sounds good enough. Maybe they heard of the golems through other Nocturnal species so they know about the awakejing state but still keep her under lock because she's currently still dangerous. I like that idea. Might just be cause everything sounds better in quotation marks but I think that idea has something to it. Protective surveillance would also make more sense since she can't really gather moonlight to survive in quarantine.

Juggtacular

And Moses as well as parents work for Sentinel(they're all Lycans), so there's a good chance they'd know about her.

Untamed Skies

*Nods* that's sounds doable, why don't you do some editing to fit that a bit more?

Damarius would have probably been the one to meet her when she first came through the rift as he is the Assistant Director of Visitor Relations and Security. ;)

Auctor

Player Name: Kargrisaka

Character Name: Berusor Ferreth Druemal, though for simplicity those who know him call him Berus

Race/Lineage:  Oni

Concealment: His true for is restrained to a more human form via ritual. He does have a human appearance that he uses only when necessary, he received his human face from sentinel long before the current “acceptance” of strangers.

Sex: Male

Physical Description: Blue skin, silver wild hair and red-amber eyes. He walks around shirtless, unlike the picture above he can be found in grease stained jeans, with a sword hilt; the blade broken off attached to his large leather belt along with tool bags.
In his true form metal like sheets cover his body like armor, spikes and horns adorn him, he grows to a massive size, and his eyes glow a demonic red.
His human form is much like his normal form just with a “normalcy” added to it with human like skin and features
Age:  120

Role: Community leader

Occupation: He scraps metal and is the communities local mechanic.

Living Arrangements: Has a house in the community, simple living arrangements. It has a large garage however.

Sexual Orientation:  He is heterosexual, however few things can catch his eye much less turn his head.

Ons & Offs:

Place of Birth: Inferno, on the southern end of the brimstone mountains

Personality: Berus is a strong willed and vocal individual, his screams for freedom and equality have earned him a great deal of respect among the community, eventually taking leadership and continues to this day of voicing his opinions, as well as those of the community. Though this differs from the usual norm of the secluded Oni, he feels as though if he does not step up no one will.
He is very fond of his work as a mechanic for the community, feeling as though when working on the machines it is his time for peace, the people around him no not to bother him when he is working, he becomes entranced and becomes frustrated if taken away from his work without reasonable cause.
He is untrusting of sentinel, and the human world. Feeling as though their goal is to control and use “strangers” rather than actually support them. They contain them in small areas where they can keep order. There is merit in order, to an extent. Laws exist for a reason; however, those laws should not outweigh the ability to exist how an individual sees fit.
Sentinel has failed, they tried to hide us, that didn’t work. They tried to protect us, they failed. They wanted us to trust them, their own leaders abused and extorted us. It is time for the strangers of this world to carve their own fate.

History: Berus was born in inferno to a clan of Oni, he was the eldest child of the Druemal family. As such responsibility was thrown on him at the young age of 14, mostly protecting the borders of their territory from invaders. He was good at it so good that when he turned twenty his father passed down their family sword to him, it is said the sword is as old as inferno itself. He fought hard with the sword and his arcane practices, for him earth.
He defended the clan for twenty more years past when he received the sword and when he was forty his world fell from under him. He was on a normal patrol and when it happened, he spotted a group of greed demons wandering the perimeter. They were nothing impressive and were quickly defeated, he was heading back to the clan when he tripped on something. He felt as though he was falling through all of space, he can explain it no other way, and it hurt.
When he came to he was in a new place, his sword was shattered, and with small pink creatures surrounding him he would later learn as humans. They chased him with fire and weapons, he scarred them away with his ferocity. He found a cave and held himself up inside of it. It wasn’t long before an organization called sentinel found him. They were different, at least he thought so at the time, they understood his language and culture. They treated him with respect as they explained to him what happened. He fell through a fault and crashed on a new plane on a country called Scotland year 1935. Apparently it is an anomaly for an Oni to fall outside of Japan. He learned the ways of this new earth and how to use his earth bending to create weapons on his hilt.
He was given training working on machines he actually loved the work and he felt as though he was repaying Sentinel. He worked with sentinel for most of that time until recently with Barret’s betrayal and sentinel’s refusal to do anything about it until it was too late. This was a deep insult to Berus, he put his faith in them and Sentinel betrayed them. He rallied with several others, deciding that if Sentinel is fallen then it is time for the community to have its own path.

LimitlessNikkie

My intention to drop her into the world shiny and new.







     

Player Name: LimitlessNikke

Character Name: Zahra

Race/Lineage: High Elf

Concealment: None

Sex:  Female

Physical Description: Fair skinned with blond hair Zahra had bright blue eyes and a perfect cupid bow mouth. Standing 5'7 she has a slender build with long legs and a soft curving body.

Age: 732

Occupation: Unknown

Living Arrangements: None of yet

Sexual Orientation:  Hetero

Ons & Offs:  OAndOs

Place of Birth: Gaia

Personality: Zarha is a product of a hard life. She is guarded, putting out a false front and hiding her true self from everyone. She can be utterly charming and carefree but those traits are often hidden behind a wall of caution. One can't be too careful after all. Theres a sense of loss about her, as if she'd been wondering for too long and is just tired and looking for home, a place where she belongs. A sadness clings to her like a second skin even when she laughs or smiles. It's been too long since she was truly happy or settled that she herself doesn't know what it's like to feel safe anymore.

History: Zarha was born into a family of very old elves. She had no stunning blood line but her family was well respected and she had a happy enough childhood learning to be in one with nature and all of that but sometimes someone is born who just doesn't quite fit the mold of things. In her generation that person was Zarha. While everyone else could live in harmony with the world around them Zarha just couldn't seem to make that connection like everyone else could. She tried, she tried so hard and while there was tolerance for years for her many mistakes as she grew up the tolerance of other wore thin. It wasn't that she lacked talent or intelligence because that wasn't true, she in fact was very talented but she just didn't connect in a way that made others feel connected to her.

As she reached the age where her friends were starting to pair off and settle down Zarha was overtaken with an urge like nothing else she'd ever known. She just knew deep in her being that there was something else for her waiting out there. The idea of settling down near made her sick but the idea of leaving was unheard of. No one left. So what choice did she have? None as far as she was concerned. So she let herself be courted and got to the night before her wedding was to be thrown when her mother came to her. She had been sitting up in the branches of her favorite tree, her bow lying across her lap, a quiver slung across her back and watching the stars dance across the sky, silent tears glittering on her lashes as she tried to come to terms with the life she would lead with a man she didn't love.

She didn't move as her mother climbed up beside her settling into the branches beside her. "You've never been meant for this place." Her mother said in a tone so soft and kind it near broke Zarha's heart. "You have a soul as young and wild as the new spring. Your meant to experiance the world not hear about it from those so old there bones threaten to crumble into dust." And with that her mother feathered her fingertips through her only daughters hair. "Go and find your happiness my daughter, and never come back." And with that she pressed something into Zarha's hand and disappeared.

Her mothers last gift was freedom in the form of a compass that pointed her in the direction she needed to go and when needed could take her to lands she needed to see. In her youth she learned strength when the compass took her to nocturne and everything saw her as prey. She learned the strength of the magic that was so much a part of her and honed her skills with a bow and the sword she'd used for display since she was a child.

In Inferno she learned how to use her mind, how emotions could rule a mind and a heart and how to curb her own if mastery was beyond her ability at that young age. She learned the strength of her will and freedom for one could be a prison for another all depending on your perspective. Most importantly she learned that the world did not operate in black and white but in fact had so many shades of grey it was often hard to figure out where you fit into things.

Most startling of all the places she saw was Nirvana. It showed her the basic truth that all that glitters is not gold. The place was pure beauty but it was cold and stern, harsh in its structure and like stone completely immobile. If she could say she hated any place she'd seen it would be Nirvana. She chaffed st the absolute rules that knew no bend. she almost lost her life there a couple times and it was pure luck she escaped with her life.

From Nirvana she found Terra.

Family: Disowned

Special Abilities:

Absorb: The ability through careful observation and years of study to master new abilities.

Minor healing: The ability to heal minor wounds and or infection though it causes fatigue.

Light: The ability to wield light as a weapon if desired or do as little as light an area around her to see better.

Flame: Less taxing then using light though has the same effects with the risk of causing fires.

Minor enchantment: Can cast minor enchantments that are rather short lived but useful in a pinch.

Soft Step: The ability to move completely undetected threw her environment.

Grace: The complete mastery for her body and her movements with perfect balance, even at a flat run over uneven ground she'd never fall or trip.

Sharp Sight: The ability to see in great detail at extreme lengths (think the equivalent of an eagle).

Special artifact/item: Compass that leads her in the direction she is meant to go.

Martial Skills: Highly gifted with her bow and slender swords that she uses in both hands duel wielding. She can use heavier blades or daggers but only does so when required.

Untamed Skies

Hey sorry for the delay, it was a busy weekend.

There isn't specifically a problem with the character or abilities. However it is usually impossible to travel between planes regularly and with accuracy.

Was your plan to say her artifact leads her to rifts?

LimitlessNikkie

Basically the idea was that she follows the compass near blindly and yes it leads her to rifts though she isn't necessarily aware of it specifically. She does not know where the compass will lead her only that up until this plane it has.
