Xanth-Background

[Ambrosious]

By now you should have all recieved your talents and such. If not let me know by mail. I'm still looking for Morgoth and Lava Goddess to email me.

Now for a little background information.

You have all heard and are answering a call to arms. The caller is Bismuth, the oldest, most powerful, and possibly the most senile Wizard ever to inhabit human skin. You will all meet on this journey and become a party of companions. The task set before you will become apparent when you reach the castle. Don't take too long in the journey, for the call to arms is an urgent one. There are different talents distributed equally and if you have a question about yours, let me know.

Watch this thread for new updates and puzzles to solve.

[Cryo]

You will have to read "The enterence" to learn about my character. if you are too lazy, then tough luck

 

[Ravenloft]

Name: Robert Sith

Talent: You control each and every one, however you are just learning to harness your powers so sometimes it doesn't go according to plan. Like a spark instead of a fire. Or you solidify water to walk across, except for that ONE spot

Robert Sith trys to act like an all knowing mage but is quite bumbling with his talents....

Just the basics

These are my characters -

Character #1 - Lisarianne (pronounced Li-sar-i-ann, not Lisa Rianne), human female, 5'8", 125 lbs, blonde hair, lavender eyes. A sorceress, older than she looks, but still young as sorcerors go. Friendly enough, but somewhat quiet. She usually wears shades of violet.

Character #2 - Glorianna Caterwaul, or as her friends call her, Glory, female, one of the Fae, 4'10", very slender, sea green hair, silver eyes. Silly, but kind, she can call cats. She isn't strong enough to command them, but they usually cooperate with her.

a query

I was going to ask a question but I thought it best to do it another way.

[RoseThorn]

Name: Rose Thorn

Age: 18 or so...

Appearence: 5'2", red hair, green eyes

Class (?): Bard

Talent (direct quote to save time ):

You will be a healer. Not physical hurts, for these you are useless. However, your presence makes anyone feel better about them selves. You boost EVERYONES self esteem and the effect grows until your friends become insufferable. Your family is immune to this effect, otherwise your parents would not have been able to raise you for the constant grooming and preening that takes place once you come into view.

This talent will boost the physical prowess and fighting skills of those around you as well. I mean, if you believe you are infallible, your fighting skills improve, as you start to take chances that you otherwise wouldn't.

(PS: I can use my power on a spectrum IE: be able to
lower someones self esteem if you dont like them as well. )

 

[Cryo]

Echem, Ether melt;
25 years old, and one of the eldest in the group. He has many years of adventgures and putting up with descrimination (he's a blue skinned freek you know) to give him a somewhat immunity to common fears (including having a sword suddenly at his throat forcefully) and a light hearted personality. When someone does something he doesn't like to him, he loves to take cynical pleasure in freezing something and watching their reaction. He lives on Ice, and carries a canteen of water to freeze whenever he needs a snack. Instead of anger heating him up, it sets off his freeze aura, cooling down the air around him drastically. Otherwise he likes to make friends and strike up conversations, though he knows when to keep his mouth shut.


Also, since his first adventure never ended, he retained a link with his Patron god Cryo (see "the Enterence") making him a demi-cleric of the ice god of neutrality, and the ability to sence when something is wrong on an etherial level. Also why he was able to hear the call from the farthest away.

 

[Angelus]

Cristian Cofaldeon:

Is the second oldest of the group at twenty four and is somewhat of a grumpy person (to put it midly). Was a knight but after and accident in a battle he was stripped of his knighthood but not his armor or sword as they were his own.
Is now a rogue knight searching the land for an adventure. Because he was stripped of his knighthood and ridiculed his is somewhat a hard person to get to know and usually presents a nasty front to them. He has no real home and that has caused him to have somewhat of a gruff, cynical nature.

His sword is his main weapon and can never be taken from him as it shocks anybody but Cristian. His armor was forged by an unknown master and protects him against most attacks. His best defence though is the ability to predict bloodshed through which he tries to avoid it but if he can't he will fight to defend himself and any others with him.

 

[Ravenloft]

I have serious concerns about Cryo's character... Ambrosious... Please set my mind at ease would you?
I personally feel that demi-god power is inapropriate for this game... Seeing as Piers is and athiest... Heheh!

 

[Cryo]

I'm not a demi god. I am a demi cleric. Meaning that an aprentice cleric has more power then him. His only thing is he can sence his god's will moreso then most people

 

[Angelus]

Just wondering if there is such tihing as a paladin here, in other words a truly good knight. I know that my character hasn't acted as one so far but he will. I promise.

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Sorry, Ambriosaurus, but could you please post all the information about my character in the open.
