Name: Kaylin Spencer
Age: 26
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Occupation: Merchant / Transporter
Faction: Fjord Baronies Noble House Heir

Personality: A kind and caring girl who tends to have a bit of a spitfire attitude. She often tends to become friends with most she comes across and is also known to buy a barrel of ale for her friends of the DAGZ Mercenary Pirate Crew that protects her on her travels to deliver material and goods across the skies.
Secrets: Heir to her house and is the twin sister to her corrupt traitorous brother. Her brother works as a privateer / Pirate on a goldfish for the Anglian Republic in the Northern Fjords.

Bio: Born and raised by a house of prestige and wealth known throughout the land. Kaylin wears a family locket and crest around her neck showing her family house. Her father and mother served under the ruling house as lords for a long time. They helped organize and run the kingdom's Merchant days on Wednesdays for the local villages outside along with aiding the king in the tax collecting. This made her family a target for many who felt the kingdom was unjust along with making many approve of how they handle the politics of the kingdom.

Word soon got out when they gave birth to twins, Kaylin and Peter Spencer were well known and often causing commotion and issues for the kingdom's guards from running around and playing with the peasant children.

Soon when all started to work together during the industrial wars, Peter decided that he wanted more and wound up kicking the captain of the five person crew on a royal goldfish off the edge to his death. Peter and the smuggled in crew of the Anglian Republic robbed a local merchant vessel and escaped to the Northern Fjords.

Many heard of the young 17 year old's traitorous acts and it took Kaylin and her parents cutting deals and making pleas to show that this was not the actions of their family who has always been loyal to the king. Kaylin has now begun to hang with the DAGZ Mercenary pirate crew to be protected from her brother and other pirates trying to raid her family's trader goods.

When Kaylin turned 25, she soon began doing the trips on her own and taking over the transportation for her family. She has recently been hiring spies to keep tabs on her brother to attempt and avoid his paths along with any other conflicts which usually wind up finding her vessel.

P.S.

Please note I did not realize after a certain amount of time you can not edit the posts. Therefore there shall be no updates on the sheets to link where your character is....please just copy the location of your rp character bio and place it somewhere you will not lose it.
Title: Re: Character Bio List
Post by: RedRoach on June 08, 2014, 09:52:00 pm: (Apologizing in advance for not finding a smaller size)
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ojgg64jyXLY/TPqB1eZIjQI/AAAAAAAABUk/0aU5cgMZ4U8/s1600/Anime_Boy_by_chibi_kiro_cb.jpg)
Name: "RedRoach"
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Occupation: Freelance Scavanger
Faction: Suspected Runaway Anglean Republic Orphan

Personality: A friendly, comical but wary teen hailing from the middle of a desert, the young firecracker always has a prank or two (with potential negative or positive effects every time) in his pockets that many assume must have damn near everything. More often than not, he can be found over-exaggerating his exploits or actions, both physically and verbally, regardless of witnesses, evidence, or time of said action. Has been know to swear. A lot.
Secrets: Has several bounties on his head, forcing name change several times. Willingly has humiliated himself and looked like a complete idiot for the "lulz". Also carries a high-powered semi-auto pistol in those never-ending pockets. Can't fly a ship for his life.

Bio: Most of the time, if you're flying around a ship, you want to make sure everything you've got is in tip-top shape, like your engines, your crew, and your cargo. But this young idiot would do anything, backflip, hang off ship rails, sabotage, for attention. This young kid, at quite the measly age, hid himself on a trade ship heading for a small desert town. After arrival, he managed to sneak out. The ship sailed back for the Republic none the wiser, and fell prey to pirates, without the kid's knowledge. As time passed, the child began seeking out attention again in any way he could. However, not many a passerby was happy with his antics.

After a while, someone got real mad at the teen after too many "re-painted" walls, and put up a bounty clearly stating for the vandal to be brought to jail. The teen then had to stow away on another ship, bringing "Freeloader" to his list of occupations. He traveled from city to city, ruin to ruin, pirate battle to pirate battle on ships he hid on for several years. Then one day, after a particularly nasty run-in with a no-exceptions crew after "accidentally" blowing up a gun, he was stranded in a certain small village. Accumulating the standard notoriety and bounty again for theft and on this occasion, a major injury (Totally self-defense, would have been clubbed otherwise), he hid himself on a small ship flying away that day.

During that trip, a Pirate ship decided it would be fun to shoot the lonely travelling vessel, and the crew went into a crisis trying to keep the ship together. As panic ensued, the teenager picked up a hammer in a rapid pace and began to whack randomly at engines, almost instantly repairing them somehow like if it were out of a steampunk videogame, out of fear that death would be worse than a crew staring him down. Soon, with the engines being repaired by the teen, the pirate ship burned on the ground. Everyone on the crew stared at this random person who had suddenly appeared to them like some midget angel from the skies, until they realized this was the same teen who blew up their equipment about a week ago. They decided to pardon him for the moment, and kicked him off at a much more successful city known as Fallow.

As the teen wandered around the makeshift factories in the ruins, he came across three things that changed his life. A pistol that was absurdly powerful that looked an awful lot like it was manufactured before everything became dust, a blueprint in the dust for what seemed a new type of ammunition, and a community willing to allow scavengers who act like complete retards for the entertainment of others into their society. He finally had something to do that didn't annoy the heck out of people, places to go where he didn't annoy the heck out of people, and hey, if he did annoy the heck out of some people, at least now he had some friends to be at his side.
Title: Re: Character Bio List
Post by: Jester Schulz on November 19, 2014, 08:41:43 pm: Name: Jester Schulz
Age: 26
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Occupation: Mercenary/Outlaw
Faction: Protege to Armored Jack, Fjord Baronies scouting Commander turned outlaw/mercenary. Aligned to the highest bidder except for the Baronies. He refuses to work for them.

Personality:Bold and daring. Willing to do whatever it takes to win a battle. This includes sabotage and assassinations. Also know to not fight fair. Like using his ivory handled revolver during a sword fight. Like to get his hands dirty and will dive head first into battle. Not compassionate at all and is willing to destroy anyone and anything that gets in his way. Loves to take prizes from worthy adventures and enemies. Loves bloodshed and lives to fight. Grins menacingly while performing the final blow to an enemy, thus giving him the appropriate nickname, the Grinning Jester of Crimson.
Secrets: Came from a poor, unnamed village in the rocky hills. Showed little sadness when his mother was killed by Armored Jack. Knows little to nothing about who his father was and if he had any siblings. (Unknown to him is that he has a sister who is a high ranking office in the Fjord Baronies and his father is a noble from the Baronies. Thus, he is the bastard son of a noble)

Bio: His village was burned to the ground by Armored Jack. His mother pleaded that he be spared. Jack accepted and then put a bullet in her head. Jester was taken aboard the Hyena. For a few years he was taught the was of being a pilot. He learned old secret maneuvers only know to the old captains of the Baronies. Upon turning 15, Jack gave him a sword and sparred with him on the spot. Much to Jack dismay, he was bested by Jester on the first go. This is the same thing that happened when he was given an old revolver. He bested everyone on the ship in combat. Soon after Jester had his first taste of battle. Jack gave the reigns to Jester and Jester disabled the ships engine. This allowed for the harpoon to be shot and boarding to commence. Jest bested the captain and drove his sword into he. He claimed his hat as his prize. This was his first taste of blood and battle and won't be his last.

Throughout the years he learned more and more. He eventually became the captain of the Hyena (The reasoning behind this is to be explained at a later date). He captained his ship much like Jack would but focused a little more on firepower than Jack did. Jester at first took prisoners but one escaped and helped lead to his capture by the Baronies. This would be the last time he would take prisoners. His crew sprung him from jail in one of the most fantastical display of a shock and awe jailbreak ever witnessed. From then on Jester had a grudge with the Baronies and sought to destroy everything they stood for. He pirated most ships but focused heavily on ships from the Baronies. This would create a heavy feud between them and the Baronies would offer a reward for Jester's head.

When he turned 22 he took a break from pirating to adventure the word and seek different odds and ends. This would be how he would find most of the pieces to his unique outfit. He went from town to town looking for the man called the Tinkerer. He heard about the Tinkerer from Armored Jack. The Tinkerer gave Jack his mechanical arm. Jester sought items of power that would help him take down the Baronies. He would partake on an adventure that would last 3 years. He would find items that date back before the great war and even blueprints that show how to make unique equipment and weapons. After a year of building and crafting, Jester would return to the Hyena, with items in hand, and continue to rain lead on merchant ships and Baronies ships.

Post by: Kouhei Sakurai on November 30, 2014, 12:16:34 am: Name: Kouhei Sakurai (suspected to be an alias)
Age: 24
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Occupation: Freelance scavenger
Faction: Fallow

Personality: Little is known about this reserved young man. He speaks little about himself, preferring to observe from the sidelines and act only when he has gleaned enough information (though he has proven to be pretty good at improvising). Generally disinterested in direct conflict, he prefers to sidestep such situations and negotiate his way out of things. Nonetheless he knows when he needs to make a stand, and often waits for the perfect opportunity for a decisive strike and put a swift end to a fight. A skilled marksman, he usually relies on a revolver, though he has on multiple instances demonstrated the effectiveness of a simple wrench in a fight. On board a ship, he usually serves as an engineer, tending to the machinery and keeping the ship airworthy.

Bio: Born and raised in Fallow, it comes as no surprise that Kouhei has an aptitude for working with machines and airships. It is rumoured that his mother was a navigator from a distant land, and he had inherited her wanderlust. Indeed, when he was old enough he left Fallow to travel the world on board a scavenger's ship; the captain was looking for a deckhand and he signed up for it without hesitation. Presently, he still crews for other captains, though he spends a considerable amount of time in Kian as well.

Race: Human.
Gender: Male.
Occupation: Pilot.

Personality: Lawful Neutral, with a tendency to true neutrality.

Secrets: Known only to him and those deemed trustworthy.

Bio: Unknown.

Post by: Paladin Cykas on May 13, 2015, 02:57:50 am: Name: Cykas Ineron
Age: 28
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Occupation: Pilot/Clergyman
Faction: Ally of the "leader" of a small guild near the territory of the Anglean Republic known as The Iron Hand, and is a member of the guild's clergy, named a paladin by the leader of the guild.

Appearance:
Lightly tanned skin, high cheekbones and a strong jaw rest on a face with piercing green eyes and proud features with the slight creases of laugh lines. His long dark hair is usually kept tied back in a tail, and a carefully trimmed goatee outlines his mouth and chin. He's about six feet tall, and of a medium build. He is almost always wearing the dark grey coat of his guild and a small iron medallion embossed with an emblem of an open hand. Strapped to his legs are two military issue bayonets, found in ruins and reforged for use in his work of guarding excavators of the iron Hand

Personality: On the alignment scale, Cykas would most likely fall somewhere between neutral and chaotic good. He follows the (somewhat odd) beliefs of his guild with the fervor of a zealot, but knows that not everyone can, or even wants, to be converted. he leaves the evangelical preaching to others, but is more than willing to speak of his religion if asked. He is an affable man, ready to share a tale or a drink with others at a moments notice, as long as the guild does not require him for an excavation. For one of a religious sort, he has a remarkably even temper, and will respond to most taunting and prodding with a smile and a quiet chuckle, though prods at his religion might make him sober up a bit.

He will always try to help those who need him as long as he is able to do so, but is careful to avoid helping those whose ends might be outside of his own moral compass.

The Iron Hand: Led by an eccentric individual calling himself "The Old Iron Prince", the guild is obsessed with re-purposing the scrap of the old world into forms useable by all, by working the metal into new shapes; weapons, art, homes, anything that can serve a purpose. The guild itself pursues this work with a religious fervor, spurred on by the belief that the soul of the old world can be put to rest if its relics are found and used to create again. They generally do good work for people, though some of the members definitely have a more militaristic view when it comes to repurposing old world relics.

Bio: Cykas was raised by a family in the territory of the Anglean Republic. he had a rather normal childhood but when his town was visited by the first fledgeling priests of what would become the Iron Hand, he was entranced with the idea of the old souls and followed them, learning from them and rising up through the heirarchy both in the clergy and in the guild itself. Now named a Paladin of the Iron hand, he is often among the other clergymen as they do their work, keeping watch to ensure that they do not come to harm. he has even been called to act as a bodyguard to the guild's leader on a few occasions, not that the guild is well-known enough to be considered a threat by anyone. He was last seen on a scouting mission, taking his ship and a small crew out to check ruins that had high potential for the discovery of old relics.

Post by: The Mann on June 10, 2015, 03:41:56 am: Name: The Mann (Real Name Unknown)

Age: Unknown

Race: human

Gender: Male

Occupation: Commander and Captain.

Faction: Unknown - Possibly Fjord Baronies.

Appearance:
A man of great mystery. With a long white coat, A pink jumper adorning a white bird, jeans with all tools necessary to repair a crew-less ship. A white hat masking the mystery knowledge of a commander known to assault and annihilate all who oppose. Such knowledge needs to be protected with some pink dynamite. Legends surround the outer borders of the Fjords of lonesome travelers speaking of an unknown, fabulous captain effortlessly taking out galleons and spires in the skies.

Personality:Unusual. Kind, knowledgeable and caring with a passion to help all who wish to claim the skies. Other times, mad as a puppy singing unknown tunes and drinking moonshine as the ships in front turn to ashes.

bio: During a routine assault on the borders of the Fjords, the Baronies lied out numbered until a strange vessel rose from the clouds below. It was big, wide and appears almost useless in battle with barely any noticeable weapons until, the first shots were fired, Yeshan Galleons became disabled, with no weapons, the Baronies became more defensive and destroyed all galleons. The Unknown vessel was red, and equipped with long range Artemis and Mercuries. Without such power the Baronies would have lost a key location, the Northern Fjords. The Ships gathered, upon the request of a name from the Baronies, The only reply was, The Mann. After this, a drogue vent opened and the vessel fell into the clouds and was not seen thereof. The Mann, is a captain of great mystery. Some say, he is the guardian who watches from the Great Lighthouse of the Fjords. Others say, he is a mercenary looking for treasures among the great relics of past futures. All we know is, the name.

Post by: Carn on June 10, 2015, 02:07:06 pm: Name: Alister Carn aka Carn

Age: Suspected to be in his early 20s though no definitive proof can be gained

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Occupation: Mercenary/Bounty Hunter

Faction: Originally of Anglea, though now roams. However he still retains his loyalty to the Republic, and will not raise arms against it.

Appearance: Big. Bigger then most airmen. Standing a few inches over six feet tall, and weighing almost 250 lbs stark naked. Often wears his thigh length black flak jacket, though does not always pull up his hood. In combat he wears his armadillo helmet, and the rare sand devil mask, providing ample protection to his cranium. The thing that stand out most about the way he fights, is that while he is right handed and is a demon with his sabre, he always shoots left handed, whether it be his pistol or rifle. He is also an accomplished demolitions expert, and is known for sinister grenades with unusual and dangerous effects.

Personality: Intelligent, and antisocial, at least that's what newcomers perceive. He can actually be quite amiable to his friends, and downright protective of them. Not many people have seen this side though, so most believe him to be a gruff and surly mercenary. But beware, beneath these layers lie and burning rage, ready to be brought out in combat.

Bio: When he was sixteen he enlisted into the Anglean military. During basic training, he showed great promise, and so was recruited into the Marauders. The elite special forces of the Republic. Over the next few years, he demonstrated great skill and courage. In particular, during the battle of The Chill Sea, when Yesha tried to invade Anglea. During that battle, Carn leaped from the squid he was on, as the rest of the crew had been killed, and it was in no shape to fly. Landing onto the deck of a Yesahn galleon, he quickly dispatched of its crew, then proceeded to ram into every Yeshan vessel he could, until the battle was over. A few years latter, he got on the bad side of a senator, and left due to his increasing hatred of bureaucracy.

Gender: Male

Personality: Chaotic

Secrets: If I posted them here, they wouldn't be secrets anymore, would they?

Bio: This little fella has a ridiculous amount of power, but can't always use it. Nobody knows where he came from. He's also not a fan of long speeches, and would rather have people get to know him as the story progresses instead of knowing everything from the start. On the other hand, he's happy to mention his personal armory (as in, he has a friggin' Hwacha in his mouth) and his invulnerability.

Occupation: Tar merchant by trade, lord of Blackice industrial complex; former Chaladonian border guardsman.
Faction: Fjord Baronies

Personality: Detached, prone to fits of rage followed by long periods of sorrow. Generally instability hides a natural talent for management and civility.
Secrets: Operates by proxy in business arrangements, highly paranoid with a distrust of pirates (ironically).

In game I typically use my female and male avatars a similar amount of the time so in the few narratives I have written my character as two, the second follows

Name: The Banshee, uses other names as she sees fit. Doesn't possess a birth name.
Race: also presumably human, though not as white
Gender: female
Occupation: Master at arms of Blackice, freelance mercenary; former slave guard in service to a pirate group in Chaladon
Faction: Fjord Baronies

Personality: Outgoing socialite, stuck between the side of her that is trained to kill at command and the side that only wants to relive her younger years like they were meant to be.
Secrets: Suffers from insomnia and bursts of anger typically resulting in a bounty and identity switch, tendency to put herself against impossible odds for no reason but to give the voices in her head what they want.

Adventure mode, please give me adventure mode..

Post by: Alan Breck Stewart on August 12, 2015, 05:52:18 pm: Name: Alan Breck Stewart, real name something else and not important
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Occupation: Full time captain in the Baronies air navy, musician, and jack of all trades
Faction: Fjord Baronies, but will fight for anyone with a noble cause

Bio: Born a commoner of the Baronies and enlisted as a crew for a baron's warship. After impressing his commander with his skill behind a gun and versatility as an engineer, he was granted admission to the Baronies Royal Military Academy and quickly proved successful in his efforts to measure up to his noble born crewmates. By request upon graduation, he was granted command of a Yeshan Galleon that he had a hand in capturing. He works currently to move up the ranks and aspires to one day make the Iron Hurricane, his galleon, feared on the worlds battlefields.

Personality: Quiet and withdrawn, doesn't make friends easily, but is loyal to death to any he has. Although taciturn and rather laid back in peacetime activities, fights with fire and is aggressive and bold in combat, and loves daring moves, but knows nonetheless the importance of obedience to senior officers and reserve for the right opportunity. Possesses a natural affinity to leadership and is able to rally nearly any crew of mismatched misfits to teamwork and success. Will never back down from a noble fight, and will never surrender.

Secrets: Has never been bested at the sword. (fights with a rapier)

can fight with rapier against most other kind of blade, be it saber, longsword, or even katana. (can handle most other blades well too)

axes would be very hard to go against with a rapier since rapiers are light and could get beaten up by more forceful weapons, (it's a duel weapon, not a battle weapon), but it could be done with superior reach and some tricky play, particularly by targeting extremities such as poorly protected hands and arms, and legs
Title: Re: Character Bio List
Post by: Carn on August 12, 2015, 06:57:44 pm: Indeed, it also would depend on the axemans style. And the type of axe.
Title: Re: Character Bio List
Post by: Koali on August 12, 2015, 07:00:58 pm: For example, Carn would win. Period.

Now, humanoid Koali with a dadao would probably take a few thrusts before getting close enough to cleave your head in half.

I'll just point out that a rapier can stab right through a body with little or no resistance at all.

Yes Koali, I know how rapiers work.

Carn would win most likely because he's a big strong Anglean marauder, you on the other hand, since you're invulnerable it seems, I would just play defense until I get a position where I can pin your arm to the rest of your body, or we get hungry and decide to quit and go eat.

Moral: never TELL people you're invulnerable, it spoils the effect.

Post by: Carn on August 12, 2015, 09:35:58 pm: Ok, so I don't know if this is the right thread for this. But I thought, why not write a backstory for some ancestor? And so, I give you the tale, of the first Carn.

His father, was the last king of the giant gorillas, and his mother was the tallest mountain. His birth, created the first Volcano. He was 10 feet tall, and is considered to be the discoverer of alcohol. Every kind of alcohol, from wine, to vodka, to beer, to rum. On his fifth birthday, he threw a whale into the skies, creating the race of skywhales. Though not the first to discover it, he was the one to make the world know the deliciousness of bacon. He did this by riding upon the skywhale, who was his friend for all their lives. Sadly, many small tribes couldn't agree on which was more mighty. The skywhale, or the bacon. His favorite weapon, was his mother's favorite brooch. In his hands it was a mighty axe, though on his mother, the first volcano, it was but a decoration. Sadly, in his old age, he fell into madness. He went on a rampage that culminated in him striking the ground with his axe. At that time you know, There was only 1 continent and no islands. Carn changed that. During a brief break in his madness, he realized what he had done. And so, he charged into hell and it is said that he fights Satan himself, and all volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, are a result of this titanic battle. Due to the terror he wrought in his old age, such calamities were considered like Carnsage, eventually this was shortened to carnage, the word we know today.

His decedents are many and span several dimensions. But all are powerful, and enjoy a good axe, and a stiff drink........

Post by: ShadedExalt on August 13, 2015, 03:10:20 pm: Long story short, The First Shaded created the land, the sea, and most importantly the sky. He embodied the concepts of Curiosity, Creation, and Exploration.

This is not to say he made the land, sea, and sky, he just shaped what was present.
Title: Re: Character Bio List
Post by: Alan Breck Stewart on August 13, 2015, 03:20:25 pm: Here's what I remember of the earliest of the Stewarts

He was born long ago of a water nymph mother and a great eagle father, both among the last of their kind, among the tall staunch rock of the fjords as they were back then. His father taught him wisdom and nobility and his mother taught him music and curiosity. He took immediate love of both exploration and craftsmanship and began to travel the world learning all he could wherever he went. His best skill was blacksmithing, learned from his visits to the far west. Legend goes as far as to say he forged a great brooch to decorate the tallest mountain, and impressed by the sound of his hammer, invented drumming in the process. When wartime arose, his regal demeanor and wisdom drew great armies to his side. He never failed to elicit success, even in the face of defeat, making him the most trusted leader among allies, and the most respected among the enemy.
One day whilst one of his soldiers was playing on a fiddle, another fiddler began to start. To prevent a dispute, Stewart stepped in and proposed a revolutionary idea, that they play together. One by one, more musicians began to join and soon every instrumentalist in his army was playing together and thus the orchestra was invented. That same orchestra played his funeral march after he was eventually killed in battle. His offspring are many and varied, marked by commanding character and an affinity for fine skill.

Not really to be honest, but I probably don't get around this forum as much as you
Title: Re: Character Bio List
Post by: Carn on August 13, 2015, 09:29:09 pm: It was more a thing to Koali and ShadedExalt. aceofeagles, more commonly known as Spades. His character was baronies, used a rapier, and eagles was part of his actual name. What happened to him? Anyone know?
Title: Re: Character Bio List
Post by: C r o w on February 08, 2016, 06:44:56 am: Sorry for the necro, but I wanted to store here my canonical character info

Name: The Crow of Cainhurst (by strangers),
Strayed (nickname used both by the Baronies army and by people that know him),
(REAL name, unknown)
Age: presumed early 20es
Race: human
Gender: male
Occupation: jack of all trades (while scouting), Baronies advanced scout (official)
Faction: Fjord Baronies (official), none (while scouting)

Personality: Unless obliged, he'll stay a loner and be a very silent person.
Despite his war-ready appearance, he's a very diplomatic guy, that'll stay cool in many occasions, even when staying toe to toe with death.
When people get to know him better he reveals a very kind and gentle behavior, and if someone gets to know him enough to be called "a true friend", he'll stay loyal to the end and will try to help when possible.

Appearance: He wears in many occasions a very polished and light metal armor, while being tall himself a bit more than 6 feet, the armor gives him some extra height, that combined with his cloak made of crow feathers contributes to make him look quite menacing to the common people, and as a presumptuous any brawl-worthy target by more... ungentlemanlike people.
His weapons of choice are a saber, kept at his left side, and an enormous amount of light firearms kept under his wide cloak.

Bio: He was born and raised in a small city on the eastern coasts of the Fjords, near Ravenrook, in Cainhurst Castle where he grew up with the sons of the nobles, being his father one of the most important advisors of the Cainhurst Family. Trained in the art of sword fight, he became quite proficient with sabres.
In his late teens, as he began to inherit his father's job, a group of pirates, driving a little mixed fleet of ships of various designs, attacked the city, and those fjordlanders who were ready to fight immediately jumped on the few battle-ready Spires and Crusaders in possession of the city. Taking his saber and, as a good-luck trinket, a crow-feathered cloak, he embarked and helped the defenders. When the battle was over, he decided that he'd take up military career as an airship pilot. Days later, he asked as a gift for his departure from the Cainhurst family a suit of armor, and after that he joined as a volunteer for multiple fjordland counter-raids against the pirates. In few years he partook in quite a number of sorties, making him become renown among his peers for being a lover of grand broadsides, ram attacks and boarding actions.
Being largely seen as a loner, he was deemed apt for long-range single-ship scouting operations, and he has being doing that ever since the assignment was given, acting as a wandering informer for the Baronies. Hiding among people under the façade of being a common mercenary.
Nothing suggests him being involved in such operations and his only connection to the Baronies are his family living there and the knightly behavior.

Secret: Doesn't know how to shoot properly so he uses frequently spray n' pray tactics, explaining why he has multiple flintlock guns and small blunderbusses strapped all over his clothing.
Title: Re: Character Bio List
Post by: Carn on February 09, 2016, 12:58:05 pm: Update for Uncharted Skies

Name: Alister Carn
Race: Human, of Anglean decent
Occupation: Mercenary, specializing in gunning, hand to hand, and explosives.
Faction: Formerly the Anglean Republic, currently whoever pays.

Personality: Variable. Quick to laugh, and quick to anger. He tries to keep himself on a leash, but on occasion things get loose. Despite many people's opinions he is intelligent, with a knack for unconventional and effective strategies. Loyal to anyone he considers a friend, and friend means family with him. He has the potential to go into a berserker frenzy, when properly provoked.

Bio: Orphaned at a young age, he grew up in the cramped alleys of Kinforth, the underground Anglean capital. Upon discovering a natural talent of fighting, begin living off money won in illegal fighting pits. At the age of 14, a recruiter found him and convinced him to enlist. During bootcamp, he showed imense potential. At the age of 15, and having just completed basic, he was assigned to the Marauders, the elite fighting force of the Angleans. You can imagine the type of ego that created. Unknown to him, his superiors were cultivating him to become a ruthless berserker, in short, their personal attack dog. On a mission at the age of 19 to clear out a bandit camp, he came across a young woman named Alison. Since then the two have had a turbulent relationship. The one thing that leaves Alister fully indebted to her is that she is the one who set him on the path to understanding what was being done to him. At the age of 21, he was involved in a bloodbath where he earned the title of Butcher, this event fully awakened him to what was going on. He proceeded to blackmail his way out, stating that he will leave Anglea and never return, not speaking of the war crimes committed, so long as they let him leave in peace and send no one after him. Since those days, he has roamed the world, fighting for or against nearly everyone.

Appearence: He favors a boarding axe as his mêlée weapon, and wields it well due to his size. He has a large caliber, old world pistol which he shoots left handed. These weapons always stay with him, and others come along go. In addition, he is often seen in his armor, a thigh length jacket of kevlar and tungsten plating. He wears this under a shirt, usually red, and a long black overcoat, faded where badges his old rank and accomplishments. He has an old armadillo style helmet that usually sits over his ragged buzzcut, of blood red hair. He is also one of the few possesors of a sand devil mask, a testament of his skill.

I'm planning on doing these for Alison, the Twins, and Jasper. The Twins will share a bio.
Title: Re: Character Bio List
Post by: Piemanlives on February 16, 2016, 08:02:51 am: I thought I'd chime in here a little bit.

For Uncharted Skies:

Name: Davis Hargrave
Age: 29
Origin: Chaladon
Affiliations: House Hargrave, Chaladonian Archaeology Corps
Occupation: Mercenary Pilot

Bio: The son of a wealthy architect and geologist, Davis Hargrave was never in want growing up. As a young child he was given a number of tutors to teach him the ways of the world and how it works. Often these tutors were worldly explorers who would dazzle him with stories of their adventures as much as they would explain how a plant reproduces and survives in different environments. It was because of these influences that Davis gained his interest in the wider outside world which led him to pursue archaeology and physics in university as well as joining the school's rifle club. It was near his graduation at the age of 26 that a close encounter with Henley antics and Richard Morgan's piloting influenced his attempt at joining the Chaladonian Defense Corps. However due to his father's influence and standing no one was willing to sign him on, forcing him to leave the island in order to pursue his own prospects. With the assistance of his elder and immediate younger sisters he managed to stow away on an outbound freighter to the rest of the Burren where for the next 3 years he built up a rather obscure reputation as a skilled pilot and rifleman before eventually settling down in Cathedral where he conducts the most of his business.

Personality: Quick witted, easily irritated and slow to anger. He's intelligent and uses this to his advantage as he charges in head first. His family pride pushes him to see a job to the end no matter how screwed the situation is so long as the intentions of his employer don't fall in the same vein as banditry and murder.

Appearance: 5'10" with short reddish brown hair. Of average build and weight. He often wears a bomber jacket with Chaladonian Naval Airforce roundels over a white button-up, brown leather vest and suspenders, pants and a set of black leather gloves. His sidearm is often holstered within his coat while his rifle is often left unloaded in whatever aircraft he's assigned in case of emergencies.

Equipment: 1x .303 Mk VII Bolt Action Rifle (It's a Lee Enfield)
1x .357 Stark & Williams Model 29 Revolver

Family:
Father - Sir Julius Hargrave - 57
Mother - Lady Clarisse Hargrave - 53
Sister - Marie Hargrave: 31
Sister - Catherine Hargrave: 23
Twins - Geoff, Peter Hargrave: 17
Brother - Quin Hargrave: 12

Might do one for the rest of the extended cast later but I'm unsure at this point, who knows but I might get around to it.
