Okay here's the deal. I have a stupid amount of characters in my head and can't very well play them all. (Even ignoring our two characters per player limit)
And some people want to get into the story somewhere but have a tough time creating a character themselves.
That being said, I thought I'd open a thread to post original characters that people are welcome to adopt and edit, alter, and customize for use on the board.
These are available on a first come first serve basis. The first person to post claiming a certain character gets that character.
Some characters will likely lack a "Played by" as these characters had been originally on a different forum.. Some had been Anthropomorphic and have been altered to fit into the storyline here. This is a minor detail as many MANY people here can and will gladly help pick a "Played by" actor for your new character.
I will try to keep up on this thread and edit this post to add new available characters and mark ones that have been claimed already.
Again keep in mind these are base characters.. you are welcome to edit and modify them as you like once you claim them.. Including changing the name.
Please keep in mind this thread is under construction Any "TBA" or blank information will be added in time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently Available Characters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/b]
Name: Brandiff
Alignment: Lawful/Good
Age: Late 20s
Race/Species: Human
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 122 lbs
Build: Lanky
General Appearance: Brandiff's appearance is that of a overgrown yet clumsy student. This is not terribly far from the truth either as he prides himself as a student of magic. Seldom will you find him without his tattered and worn out book. What is contained within the pages of his book remains a mystery to all but Brandiff due to the fact he does not trust his book in the hands of others for fear of losing or damaging it.
He wears simple tan and brown robes as well as a scarf worn loosely around his neck that can be used in a number of ways such as covering his head and face from the elements to simply keeping warm on cold nights.
Accessories: A tattered and well worn book. Presumably a book of magic. He also sports a pair of eyeglasses.
Abilities: While Brandiff has an impressive understanding of the mechanics behind magic and it's usage, his actual ability to conjure it is greatly lacking. Without his book he is limited to "light spells" meaning he is capable of using balls of light to light a darkened room or as a sort of signal flare. With the aid of his book he seems to have an affinity for water based magic but using it too often or pulling off a spell too advanced for his current ability will cause side effects including nausea, lethargy, and even bleeding from the mouth, nose, or ears if he pushes himself too hard.
Weaknesses: Normal human weaknesses as well as his poor vision without his eyeglasses.
History: Abandoned by his parents shortly after birth, Brandiff grew up within the confines of a monastery. Here he studied in the balance of life, the world, and magic. He took a particular interest in magic and chose to expand his studies there. The actual practice of the art was forbidden within the walls of the monastery so once he had learned all he could, the monks sent him on a pilgrimage to find the knowledge he sought. The one gift they gave to him was his book. An ancient tome that they dared not read. They thought, perhaps, it would aid him on his journey.
Personality: Socially awkward, Brandiff is not well versed in communicating with people let alone making friends. He tends to be nervous when outside his comfort zone and is not above panicing in a life threatening situation.
Played by: James Spader
* As I recall we are only limiting female magic users. If I'm mistaken I can move Brandiff into the unavailable list until his class would be needed.
_________________________________________________________[/b]
Name: Wolf
Alignment: Lawful/Neutral
Age: Mid 30s
Race/Species: Human
Height: 6' 7"
Weight: 190 lbs
Build: Well muscled but not overly so. Wolf is built for a balance of speed, stamina, and agility.
General Appearance: A very large and gruff man, his face rarely shows emotion. Wolf has a darker completion tho more towards red than brown. His jet black hair is short with the slightest wave. His face is accented with a short goatee as jet black as his hair. His sharp blue eyes stand out in stark contract with the darker tones of his skin, hair, and clothes.
His clothes consist of light leather armor, thick leather trousers, and knee high leather boots that seem to blend almost seamlessly with his trousers. His waist is circled by three wide leather belts with several pouches hanging from them. One more leather strap crosses his torso at a diagonal and holds a quiver at his back. He also wears a mantle made from the pelts of wolves. At a closer inspection it is clear the pelts were taken not from animals that were killed by a hunter but old beasts who died a natural death. The mantle is topped with a hood made from the head of a wolf. By the shear size of it it would appear to have been a Dire wolf. Where one might even find a Dire wolf in the first place is a mystery.
Accessories: Bow and arrows as well as two daggers.
Abilities: Wolf has incredible tracking skills. He is so skilled in fact, it is believed that is where he got the moniker, "Wolf". His marksmanship is also unrivaled. Both of these traits aid him in his profession as a bounty hunter.
Weaknesses: Normal human weaknesses
History: Not much is known about Wolf. Not even his real name. As car back as anyone can recall about Wolf, he has been a bounty hunter and a tracker.
He leads a nomadic life traveling from village to village hiring himself out for any job from hunting down criminals to tracking a lost child.
Pets: Not so much a pet as a companion that seems to always be near Wolf. Often referred to as Ghost, A large, jet black, wolf with piercing gold eyes follows Wolf everywhere. The animal also seems impossible to kill as any attempt to do so simply causes the wolf to run off only to appear next to Wolf at some later time.
Personality: Wolf is not terribly talkative. He speaks only when necessary and even then with as few words as needed. He abides by the law and expects others to do the same. He's not interested in making friends, preferring to be alone, tho he is not one to turn down help if one were to offer it.

Name: Demitri
Alignment: Lawful/Good
Age: Late Teens
Race/Species: Human
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 120 lbs
Build: Lean
General Appearance: Demitri looks younger than he actually is and acts much older than he actually is. His shoulder length raven black hair usually falls over the right side of his face which seems only to add to his boyish looks.
He can usually be found dressed in a yellowish green tunic with a black vest, dark green slacks, and simple leather sandals.
At his waist rests a simple leather belt with two pouches attached. The pouches look like gold and silver fox tails. These pouches contain the two family heirlooms that were left to him by his father.
Accessories: Demitri owns two musical instruments that have been passed down for generations within his family along with the story that Demitri's great grandfather's grandfather received these instruments from a forest spirit. The Golden tail holds an Ocarina while the Silver tail holds a Flute.
* The Golden Ocarina - Certain haunting melodies played on the Ocarina can call forth and control plants and trees assuming the Player knows how to do so. If the Ocarina is played by someone untrained in the fine art of the Bard the consequences could be dire.
* The Silver Flute - Tunes played on the flute can sooth beast and man alike putting them to sleep with varying success. (Strong wills take longer to take effect while weak wills can be put to sleep almost instantly.)
Weaknesses: Normal Human Weaknesses
History: Demitri left home to travel the world and see what sights he could. His parents worried for him and gave him what money they could afford to part with as well as the family heirlooms that would have been his one day anyway.
He's been traveling since.
Personality: Demitri has an upbeat attitude and is brimming with confidence. While he is self assured he is not egotistical.

Claimed/Unavailable Characters

*Note about Cadius. He is listed as unavailable because he will be my character pending Sinbad's approval. If not them he will be transferred to the available characters list.
He will also have a lot of information added once he has a real profile and has his little run in with Ashven. Though all of this also depends on said approval.
Name: Cadius
Alignment: Chaotic/Selfish
Age: Late 40s
Race/Species: Human
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 150 lbs
Build: Lean but toned.
General Appearance: Though not the youngest man you might meet Cadius had aged well with a sort of rugged, scruffy, charm despite the harsh conditions one might expect a traveling merchant has had to bear.
His piercing gaze seems too look right through you, into your soul. His grey streaked brown hair is kept at a medium short length though it still manages to look rather unkempt in the ocean breeze. He often wears a simple tunic with trousers, boots, and several belts as well as some light leather armor to allow some protection in the event of brigands attempting to steal from him. He also likes to keep a hooded cloak at his back just in case. After all, a traveling Merchant should always be prepared.
Accessories: A simple dagger, an amulet made of gold that boasts a mural of a king's crown on one side and a beast in chains on the other.
Abilities: Normal Human Abilities although his Cunning and intelligence is something to be admired.
Weaknesses: Normal human weaknesses
History:Born to traveling merchants, it's not wonder Cadius, too, became a traveling merchant. His parents had both been murdered while he was still quite young. They had stopped along the side of a road to camp for the night when a group of thieves rode into the camp and robbed the family of everything they had. The men were so angered that the family had so little that they simply murdered them. Cadius had remained undetected from under the remnants of their small wagon.
The next day a guild caravan came up alongside the raided camp. The master of the guild took Cadius in under his wing and raised him as his own. At the age of 15 he struck out on his own, traveling the world to buy, sell, and trade his way into fortune.
Personality:Cadius is selfish and has an axe to grind, seemingly, with the entire world. At times he seems almost mad.

I see you already reserved Cadius for yourself? He sounds very interesting indeed. Looking forward to seeing him be played out. And lol for James Spader as Brandiff. Great choice there. I can definitely see him portray this character you described. ;D
