The Shadow of the North (Scandinavian Folklore) - Out of Character

[Kayso]

<p>


Anyone interested: Post your CS in the OOC Chat or send it to me in a PM and I will add it to the sign-up. Feel free to use one of the races outlined in the overview, go human, or create a race yourself. All the races are based on Scandinavian folklore, but I'm open to others if you want to suggest any. Come here for any questions or to work things out before posting. Keep in mind there is only one Fire Fox and he can be an NPC, though if someone wants to play him, that's fine with me. Thanks for playing!

Absolutely! I've just been a bit busy. Will make a first post soon.

 

[Imogen Sherbet]

hey are you still doing this? i would love to join

 

[Kayso]

@Imogen Sherbet I'm planning on it! Just hoping to recruit a few more people. If I can't get any more though, you're welcome to start it up with me (and hopefully the others who have expressed interest) and see if we can get some others to join as we go.

@SdrawcabDaer @Imogen Sherbet @Abyss


If any of you are still interested, I'm getting this started now! Feel free to post a character sheet here and post in the story as soon as you want!

Name





: Blagden


Age: Unkown, sometimes it feels like it happened only days ago but it's been a long time. Sometimes his memories get mixed up, and sometimes he forgets he's dead.


Race: Sjell


Description: Blagden is largely incorporeal; without tangible substance or definite shape. His body consists of a shadowy cloud resembling steam or smoke that can change shape at a whim but grows dimmer in sunlight and stronger in the shade. His color can change with enough concentration, allowing him to appear somewhat normal for short periods of time and he can manifest many glowing 'eyes' that help him express emotions and change color according to his mood.


Blagden was not tied to anything upon his death and has spent most of his afterlife wandering the land and accompanying lonely travelers. He's never been particularly malicious towards the living, but occasionally when he chooses to stay in one area he'll defend it against defacers, or will take a moment to scare away drunkards and bully's before they can cause any trouble. It's been rare that he encounters other supernatural creatures, but a friend is always welcome; despite the fact that his last encounter with one did not go well. Due to this, in recent events Blagden has found himself bound to a locket, which he currently holds his possession but will be forced to obey the commands of it's wearer should someone manage to steal it and activate its power with the correct incantation. Hoping to end the curse, his current mission is to find a way to break it.

Is it possible for a Sjell to manipulate more than one element? Also, do they manipulate the existing aspects from their surroundings or are they the source of their powers manifestation?

Amazing!!!

I'm keen to say that you can be in charge of what/how many elements you can control, but the controlling is manipulative of what exists around them. This can be done creatively, though (I encourage it!). If you want to keep working on your CS let me know, and I can post it in the sign up as soon as you're ready.

 

[Kayso]

Aaaaand I accidentally deleted the Character sign-up tab. :/ Fixing!

It says in the OOC chat to post here, then if it's excepted @Edin will move it to the Character sign up thread.

So sorry to here that! I hope your CS is alright!

 

[Kayso]

Good to go! @Abyss your CS is up!

Just one more character. I'm going to be away for a couple of days, but if I can I'll start posting!

Name: Mira Lass


Age: 20 years


Race: The Marked


The marked are children born with strange deformations that seperate them from the rest of human society; markings may range from odd colorations and skin conditions to extra limbs and monstrous features. In most towns the law dictates that marked children not stillborn are to be exposed for a day and night to the wilds so that they might die and their souls be taken to the next life where they will be recieved whole and rid of their malformations. However should the child somehow manage to survive they may be granted dwellings on the outskirts of their hometown until they are of an age appropriate to be exiled. Most do not live long.

Recently exiled upon turning twenty Mira was born heavily marked but managed to survive the test of the wild with the help of an unknown ally; she now explores the land and searches for a safe dwelling where she does not have to hide her features.


While her own personal preference is to wear clothing such as trousers or pants, Mira is usually forced to choose looser options such as skirts in order to better hide her tail as it remains wrapped around her leg in public. If left alone her nails, which are black in coloration will quickly grow into curved claws and are filed down daily with a rough piece of metal. Currently, and unbeknownstly to Mira her horns have not begun to grow in yet, but she is experiencing headaches that signify their beginning development. Her eyes are yellow with slitted pupils. Parts of her skin are covered in an ever expanding layer of scales.

Name:

Iver

Age:

28

Race:

Human

Description:

Born in the mountains to a tribe of nomadic people on The Edge, he was handed the title of 'guardian' like his father before him. He was raised and trained in the art of combat and the sword, and killed his first monster by the age of 10. Once his father died, he was then given his ceremonial garb and the tribes sword known as 'Frost Killer', a sword blessed by the god that can even cut in the ethereal plane. He was then given a rite of passage, go to the Lone Tree and offer his soul to the great spirit, so that he may be blessed and become a true man.​

Awesome use of lore! I'll put this up in the sign up when I'm in front of a computer.

 

[gogojojo331]

yaay! When do they start?

 

[Kayso]

yaay! When do they start?

You can start whenever-I've already posted an intro and everyone else can kind of get started. I'm not big into the whole planning everything out with everyone before it gets posted (call me old fashioned lol) so you can definitely plan stuff out here if you want, but I don't mind the element of surprise either. So we can start wherever we are, and meet up with each other as we go. Sound good?

 

[gogojojo331]

good

@gogojojo331 Did NOT expect that, haha!
