That sounds good so far, Tamati. He sounds like he'll be an interesting character to play with heart



As for me, I wrote up a few things for my character last night. I know the character template isn't done yet, so I just put in a few basic things. Please let me know what you think:


He starts out as a fifteen year old human, or maybe only fourteen. I haven't decided yet.

His personality is going to be very honest and humble, and though he's smart in most ways, he's also very naive and trusting. He tends to become emotionally dependent on those he gets close to.

Strengths: Excellent at healing, and very quick. He is proficient in using a staff and knives in battle, but is much more of a defensive fighter.
Weaknesses: He doesn't have much in the way of endurance, and isn't very strong.

Background:
The youngest of five children born to Cassandra Winterborn. The first ten years of his life were simple and happy enough, though when his mother fell ill, he and his siblings were sent to live temporarily at the church that his mother was a member of. Iris enjoyed living there, singing hymns, playing the organ, helping clean the church, reading scriptures, and learning to heal people. He became a devout little monk-in-training. Soon his brother and sisters were old enough to leave, and did so, but Iris decided to stay and keep up his duties at the church. He always found himself interested in darker forces, however, being drawn to vampire lore and the like. As such, when the Vampire Wars broke out, though most abandoned the church, Iris remained, allowing people on either side to take sanctuary inside the cathedral's walls.

I love yours too, Tamati, he sounds very exciting heart
That's a really good balance between strengths and weaknesses, I might add.

I wonder when more people are going to post their characters. >_>

I like her so far, Punkhime. I agree, having someone who could act as an advisor, tactician and general source of knowlege for the team would be excellent. 3nodding

Panda sounds absolutely wonderful. <3

Hmm Aylin is quite a complicated character, For one there is the small fact that she used to be a man.
She for some reason has the ability to shape-shift from childhood. But that's the -only- semi magical ability she has. Aylin fails at anything magical/mystical.

Give the girl a wrench and some bits of metal and she could get you a fully working airship. Ask her to read minds or tell the future like a real gypsy and she's fumble about not knowing what the fluff your talking about.

Aylin has incredible scientific mind that focus on alternate energy sources and with the hobby of Steam-punk mechanics. However she is also very emotional fragile. One p***k on her little heart and it'll go to pieces. The last person who broke it (Funnily enough just before she became a vampire) Aylin was left emotionally comatose. It was only when threatened with her daughter Mana being taken away did she snap out of it.

A warrior through and through. Like her bother she's a bit -too- found of sharp pointy things. Aylin likes to get up close when fighting, but a little less adrenaline pumped then her brother. In fact fighting has the opposite affect on this albino. Making her scarily calm and collected.

She was turned roughly a month before Tama and was exploring a different world. (After experiencing life as a Zurg the gypsy-like Albino liked the idea of world hopping and thus made her ship the bar with wings outer-world safe.)

Short version: Short Albino Warrior woman who can't seem to stay in one place for more then a year. Although after becoming a vampire and returning from the guild-wars world she has become ...different in that way.

As for Tamati being turned,.. I am a little unsure on that still.
I know that the person turning him will not take care of him and pretty much just leave him. And he'll have been beaten to a pulp before being turned too...the turning itself, both being bitten would and drinking the blood would probably happen with him being in a somewhat unconscious state.

I'm having a few ideas on the reasoning.

1. A Vampire wants to get rid of him as hunter either way:
a.) Either by turning him and thus forcing him to either hunt 'his own kind' or humans, which would prolly not please him too much, since hunting vampires was his way of taking out some of his bloodlusty needs without getting in trouble...
b.) Or by turning him and just leaving him somewhere outside, hoping he won't regenerate and realise what happened soon enough before the sun comes up to kill him, since he'd be completly newly turned.

2. A Vampire, maybe one Tamati'd been stalking, forces him to see that they are not just monsters by making them one of them.
Maybe also show him they're not almighty and that they do have a conscience, not deserving to be hunted.

3. Vampire sees his "potential" and thus turns him...

4. Tamati somehow slips during a fight that he is quite jealous of their skills and would actually not mind having their strenghts (completly disregarding their weaknesses) and after the fight which Tamati'd loose, probably if it went on for too long, he'd be asked if he wants to be turned or be left to die.
He'd suck up his pride and choose to live on as vampire in that case.
The vampire's condition'd be that he will not help him once turned..


2 and 3 wouldnt explain why he was left though, though it could be to either test him (3) or to show him exactly the limitatins of vampirism and that especially the early days are hard for lone vampires (2).
Mhhhh, though in general I'd understand though why a vampire turning their own hunter would not exactly want to take care of him,... xD


And eeeeeee <3 Panda your bat thing reminds me of this Manga I read a while back... what was it called... 1000 years of snow?

You treat her like a queen
And hand her everything

Well, not one person has decided to be a strong vampire. xd And if this is about as many people as we have as of now, we seem to be a very small and weak clan. Maybe I should get one of my mules to play an elder? I dont know if I could handle it all the time, maybe I'll give the password to one other player so that when I'm offline they can use the elder....
Sort of like a NPC, exept its played.... but will only serve to further the story.
Dont know...random thoughts...

Yes! I thought exactly that when I read panda's bat description! Only now its translated by Viz and called Millennium Snow. Its by the same creator of Ouran High School Host Club.

And explanation 1 does jump out at me also. It just seems more dramatic.

You ignore me, you ignore me

Ooooh. Yea. I like the idea of all of us being slightly weak. It'll definitely help us work closely together and form a stronger bond with the coven.

I love the bat idea. *can actually imagine a vampire chasing her bat around the coven with a dangerous object, yelling* Hehe. Makes me giggle every time.
