Smoke? Love the concept. Addiction with a splash of body horror? Peak dark fantasy
yes- gonna add a sample post- can use as his starter; in the writing style, Smoke refers to themselves as whatever identity they where given for a mission- if they are pretending to be a male soldier they will refer to themself as he/him. I won't have any multiple disguises per posts to keep it simple- I might bold each pronoun or change the color

The best thing about a freaky shapeshifter is that you can really place them anywhere without too many issues. (Although I suppose it depends too. Is their shapeshifting nature detectable by magic?)

How do you plan to start them off? I'm thinking, for the opening scenario, we start off somewhere in the Cantons. A division of the Black Dogs have a commission—which can be anything. A small event or a fight. And then they learn about the emperor's death. It will be sort of a short and sweet Introductory event.

And he gives off a small field of Anti-Magic, nothing that can disable or truly weaken it- but noticeable by certain wizards who may identify his race

maybe he has a mission at the same location, and is forced to escape with them, disguised as a member he killed?

Yeah, that makes sense!

Maybe he has a mission—and maybe he's being chased for a previous mission. Say, a crack squad of mages that somehow picked up on his trail?
 
right okay, will finish my charsheet tomorrow

general outline is "noble third son who got command of a platoon not because he's a good fighter (though he is a good fighter) but because he's really good at numbers and exposed a bunch of quartermasters skimming money off of the top of Company Funds"

Ooh, nice. Accountant man, smartypants.

Maybe he is the commander of the new division of the Black Company, that my character Merighi is serving as a lead engineering consultant for. It was cobbled up recently from other diminished divisions.

Just as a side note, I revised the lore. It's not “platoons” anymore but Divisions. (Since I'm assuming it can run up to more than 50 or so people.) You can either write up a commander of the whole division, or the leader of a squad within that division. Your choice.

Ooh, chaotic heavy type? Sounds wicked, can't wait to see the end result

I confess I’ve always been somewhat slow at constructing my character. I prefer to brainstorm for a few days (currently doing that). Then take a few more days to write up a rough backstory. And then on top of that, one more day or two to adjust and polish everything. You’ll have to forgive me for being a meticulous bastard. :coolshades:

Yup, I'm never going to see this character, am I 🥲

Jokes aside, if you wanna bounce some ideas off of me, feel free to tag me or message me
 
My approach is simpler. I come up with a few ideas and I write them down. These are pretty bare ideas. The plan is to flesh them out while in the RP. Sort of pantsing my way thru character development
 
if you need more politics people I can make another
 
JUST IN CASE Syan Syan WANTS MORE
 
Character posted!!! Will try to make another before we start but cant guarantee, either way hope i did it right lol
 
In the process of making mine! Give me another day or two and it should be finished :3

That would be fun. So far it seems like we have two groups in the story: one group is on the politics side, the other on the military end of things. If you can manage three (THREE!) characters, GO FOR IT
