Sorry I took so long to post my character. I've been distracted for the past few days.
 
Another bit of information I left out about Alex:
He doesn't know about the Templar rape thing. I figured that could be a very well kept secret. If he found out he'd quit. He also hates all non humans. A lot. To the point of kill on sight. So to get him to join the team there would have to be a really serious threat. I'm also willing to run a Templar "bad guy" squad to fight against the team. Whatever will make the story best.
 
Who wants to.....

Fight a four armed ugly monster named Matilda? So far we got a pack of werewolves on the field and a dashingly handsome Technosorcerer out on the field! But we could use some backup!
 
lol I am going to reply any ways do some flirting ahem *coughs* but I cant wait to see every one else come in!
 
Silver, should I run the bad guys or join the team? I can't really decide which would be more fun lol
 
Serkalem

MINI CHARACTER SHEETS

BASIC INFORMATION

Full name: Eshche’tu Mintesinswat Tihun/Eshche’tu Kalkidan Adanech/Serkalem

Nickname(s) or Alias: Lem

Gender: Female

Species: Vampire

Sexuality: If she wants you, she’ll have you

Birthplace: the wilds of Northern Abyssinia(Ethiopia), Amhara Region

Currently lives: New New York by way of Canada, in the basement of a long abandoned liquor store in the seediest area of the new city

Relationship Status: single

Backstory: She has gone by many a name by the people of her birth and it had been generations since anyone who knew her given name had been alive so she barely remembered it. They told the children stories of her to scare them or soothe them. She was the boogie man to the bad ones and a guardian angel to the good. To the bad ones she was Eshche’tu Mintesinswat Tihun, the brave warrior who can do anything so let her be. To the good she was Eshche’tu Kalkidan Adanech, the brave warrior who promised to save you. She much prefered what the children called her when they became adults and learned that the stories of her were real, Serkalem. She who always lives. It was the most fitting, since she was a vampire.

Memory of life before her turn is vague. She remembers her parents. Her mother, the good christian woman who only wished she would be the same but she was her father’s child. She wanted to be a warrior like the Queens of her father’s line and he saw nothing wrong with his little girl tagging along. In truth she was a better fighter than her brothers, fearless and resilient from the start. As she got older he took her under his wing, grooming her to lead their clan's' militia.

And when the Italians came when she was 23 she was all too ready to do her part. But of course she was still a girl, a woman really, and when the Russians came she could not help but be wooed by a very charismatic general who she had been tasked to serve as liaison. She spent many a night in his tent enjoying his peculiar style of lovemaking and by the time she realized his true nature it was too late. She was dead at 23 only to be reborn. He begged her to come back with him but she could not leave her family, even if they would have nothing to do with the animal she'd become.

She took to the hills for a time, only reemerging to feed on those who dared trifle with her clan. She became their protector until the second coming of the Italians, but she was no match for their tanks and planes spewing mustard gas. She had no choice but flee.

After bouncing around for a time she found herself in Canada and made a new life. A quiet one, away from the bright lights and others like her. That is until the fog came.


PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Height: 5’9

Weight: 160

Figure/build: 36D-29-34, curvey but tight and toned. Think Serena Williams

Skin tone: Honey

Hair color: Black

Hairstyle: straight down to her waist but she usually wears it tied back in a tight bun

Eye color: Black

Tattoos: None

Piercing: Septum piercing, five holes in each ear (before she was turned)

COSTUME:

Preferred style of clothing: Mostly black, fitted and functional. Nothing that could hang her up in a fight. She tends to wear light soled wrestling style boots to keep her steps quiet.

Frequently worn jewelry: in both ears
septum
worn around her left wrist like a bracelet, doubles as a garrote


SKILLS

Powers: Given that she is a Vampire and at least t 120 years old, she has mastered all her vampiric traits. She’s also developed an immunity to garlic and given her coptic christian upbringing is also immune to the use of religious paraphernalia as a weapon against her i.e. holy water, crosses, etc. She has super human speed and stregnth and also the ability to glamour but she doesn’t care to use such skills in a fight. Instead she would much rather use her exceptional hand to hand combat skills, or when all else fails her favorite weapons of choice (see below).

Weapons: Garrote, two Khukuri blades worn at the small of her back, push dagger

Personality: She’s a loner and has developed a cool indifference to the workings of humans, but the last shreds of her humanity won’t allow her to be oblivious to wrongdoing and she occasionally finds herself being forced to act when she would much rather go in the opposite direction. But even before she was a vampire, she was known to be a bit of a jerk. Quick with a sarcastic comment or a biting joke, she has never been one to have friends but people who tolerated her obnoxiousness because of her skillset. If the chips are down, you want her in your corner, even if she teases you for it after. If she were honest, no one ever got her quite like her Russian general and she longed for such an attachment again but tends to keep her sexual exploits, just that, sexual. No feelings meant she didn’t have to worry about her heart being broken again.

Brightwell:
Just to keep nyslef from ooc posting when we have an ooc section lol I'm still trying to figure out rule six.
Also is your character up for bartering or is he set on his "asking prices" lol
 
Rules? What rules?

ok I refer you to the statment below.

No items have prices. No prices are real. Gold and silver are welcome. (Some times). Paper and plastic are the bags, not the payment.


Brightwell:
Just to keep nyslef from ooc posting when we have an ooc section lol I'm still trying to figure out rule six.

Rule Seven. If at any time you have a question we can talk about how much an answer will cost you. Remember nothing is free. Unless you are a member
 
ok 1 freebee

THIS time only! I'll never make any non sales at this rate.


ok...........Rule 6 explained.

You come in and ask for a black rhino horn (Rule 1) -I don't have it in the store- your friend comes in with you. He or she wants 5 1 gallon bottles of shark blood. Once again Rule 1. Normally that would be 6 dead cats (20 pounds or larger) But because they came in with you. The price is 1/2 off....so the price would be 3 dead cats at 10 pounds. See...

But the reverse is too also. As stated..If they bring you in I double the price that it is NOT.

Now then its well know that black rhino horns have no price (because of rule 1)
SO....I have to double the price it was not! In other words...I can't price some thing I don't have....right? BUT.....I can double the price (If I have it or not)

I hope that helps!..........for free (limited time)

AND I know what your thinking .......how can he double a price when he has no price on it....Right?..........thats simple........hes an ORC!
