Dice To Kill A Primordial - OOC Thread

[Red Shadow Claws]

We're Abyssals, killing is part of our nature...

I’m getting a bit creative in telling my abyssal backstory

 

[Psychie]

Creative is a good thing.

MasterDAF Do you have a name for your character?

Sorry, been trying to get him finished the last couple days and I guess since I was always keeping the character page open it never showed me the updates.

He goes by the title Withered Deathbringer of Desicated Sands and Unholy Glories. He would appear as a bald and relatively handsome lithe-muscled man in his older 30s/young 40s...except his deathly empowerment left him in a perpetually rotten and ruinous state. He wears a black hooded robe to conceal his disfigurement, supple black leather gloves and boots, and a dark iron and lead mask to cover his face so that his appearance does not immediately send crowds running (unless he wants them to).

He works alongside his fellow Abyssals to achieve the goals of his liege as well as his own personal projects, but does not actively seek out his fellows unless in need of them for a specific purpose. Most of the other Abyssals he works alongside are aware of his deformity to an extent, but almost none have seen him without his mask save his master and a few of her most trusted servants at times when he visited his full terrible glory upon Creation's wayward defenders (aka enough of these situations have occurred that player characters could have potentially been with him and witnessed his face uncovered, I'll leave that up to each individual to decide if they have seen him without the mask).

 

[Psychie]

Thank you.

I’ve started writing the opening post and should have it up in a bit.

 

[EbonChevalier]

Knights backstory and intimacies are done.

Cuckoo has probably seen him without his mask, he would be interested to see what he looks like under it, and would have no problem breaking into his quarters, unnoticed, and standing literally hidden unmoving for hours, just to see it. But then again, he'll never tell.

I hope my first post did a good job of establishing Hunger Clad in Eight Broken Chains's character.

Would appreciate feedback (pun intended).

 

[Sherwood]

He strikes me as brutal, impulsive and sadistic, not to mention a bit gross. Just the kind of vibe that an Abyssal game needs. I like the post so far.

He seems to be quite gruesome and horrible. Just the kind of thing I was looking to see from an Abyssal game.

 

[Gravitational Force]

In terms of what Hunger Clad in Eight Broken Chains looks like under his armor I picture him as looking closest to this:

 

[Sherwood]

That’s pretty oogy. Nice.

 

[EbonChevalier]

I’m trying to go for a forlorn pretty boy with knight

You know, out of all the Solars I've ever made in 2nd and 3rd edition, I've never considered the risk of them running afoul of someone who would have their tongue removed to be later eaten...that is such a freaking disturbing thought...good job! I now know exactly why I need to fear pissing off Hunger Clad in Eight Broken Chains!

 

[Gravitational Force]

Thank you all for your kind words. Glad to know my writing made such a strong impression.

 

[Random Word]

Just checking -

Once out in the hall, the Deliverer spends a few motes of Essence to activate Echoing in Emptiness, saying to the Abyssals in her service, “My darlings, come to the throne room in two hour’s time and be prepared to receive guests. Gault has several surprises for us.”

Scion is sworn to the Toymaker, so this doesn't apply to her, right?

 

[Psychie]

I meant to say that all of you got the message. Sorry for any confusion.

 

[Psychie]

MasterDAF I believe that everyone but you has posted getting to the throne room. Do you need more time, or should I go ahead and move forward?

Sorry, been unexpectedly busy the past couple days. I can post a "reserved post" real quick so that you can move ahead, and then when I get a chance in a couple hours I'll revise it to insert RP of receiving command and arriving in throne room.

In case it matters, Deathbringer will arrive from his manse with his "usual entourage" of his (familiar) floating blackened skull etched with Old Realm runes and sporting glowing eye sockets, and five dark priests after receiving the missive to attend his liege. He'll silently lead them into the throne room where they can await his master, unless they aren't allowed inside in which case they will wait solemnly outside the throne room until the meeting has adjourned.

 

[Psychie]

I just didn't want to move forward without giving you an opportunity to make your intro.

 

[MasterDAF]

Sorry for the long wait, finally got it posted!

 

[Gravitational Force]

In terms of what Hunger Clad in Eight Broken Chains sounds like it's deeper than this:

 

[Sherwood]

Psychie do I need to make a Lore roll to know about Autochthon?

 

[Psychie]

I will say that anyone with a combined Int + Lore + Specialty of five dice or more doesn’t need to roll at all. Anyone else will need to either roll really good or have some kind of background to explain how they know about the Great Maker.

 

[EbonChevalier]

Looks like Knight is more than just pretty face and long spear. I forgot I gave him lore 4
