Name: Hans Mueller
Age: 38
Race: Human

History:
Hans grew up on the streets of Altdorf, an orphan forced to steal to eek out a living. From a young age, Hans showed an affinity for stealth and thievery. Joining gangs in the slums of Altdorf, Hans was nearly killed in a street fight. Deciding that he would not longer be pushed around, Hans decided to learn how to defend himself, for protection either when a heist went bad or to defend his ill-gotten gains from other street trash who preferred to take from a skilled thief than to steal the goods themselves. Growing up on the streets, Hans didn’t learn how to fight with a sword or a shield or any other expensive and fancy weapon, he learned how to fight with knives and daggers. He became quite skilled with knives, and gained a reputation on the streets as a skilled fighter as well as thief. He grew into a professional thief, traveling from city to city across the empire in search of wealthy clients. And after finishing a job, Hans had no qualms about picking the pocket of his employer. Soon, he was a wanted man in ten cities, and Hans decided to put his life as a thief on hold and try his hand at mercenary work. Despite his skills with knives, he found that he couldn’t really match up to skilled soldiers, and had to rely on stealth to finish the job. Hans has since combined both professions, making a living either stealing or hunting bounties, though his real skills lie in stealth rather than open combat.

Personality:
Hans is somewhat secretive, but eventually opens up to those he likes. He is not necessarily unfriendly, but does not like to engage in conversation with those he does not know, and he is very suspicious when it comes to strangers.

Equipment:
Crossbow pistol, set of six throwing knives, a pair of long daggers, climbing rope, lockpick set. Hans wears a long black cloak and hood, and his shirt and trousers are dark grey. He wears boiled leather boots and no gloves.

Anything Else:
Hans prefers to avoid open brawls, preferring to engage his opponents where he can make the terrain suit his own skills in stealth. If it comes to open ground, Hans prefers to take out his opponents at range either with his crossbow pistol or his throwing knives.

Reason for coming to salzenheim:
Hearing about the strange goings-on at salzenheim, Hans has decided to find out if there could be a quick mark in it for him. Feeling that brute force really wouldn’t be the answer to solving a mystery, Hans figures that his skills as a thief would be in high demand, as stealth would most likely be the key to solving the mysterious deaths that seemed to be occurring with surprising regularity.

Name-Arterius Silver-wind
Age:175 (young for a..)
Race: Elf
History:
Arterius is still young for a elf. He grew up as a commoner. As a child he was destined to become a spearmen at best. When travelling out of Ethtaine on a ship, trading to the old world. Arterius saw a brave and noble bretonian knight. After that day Arterius was hell bent on becoming a knight aswell. Because of Arterius' small stature, he was denied every being a rider. From that day he trained and trained. He did enough magic trainig in the tower of hoeth to get a long. By his 100th birthday Arterius could run the woods with the white lions. Ride a hoarse as well as a reaver and carry twice the armour of a Dragon prince. He was ready. Denied the chance to ride nontheless because of social status He fled the old world on a small cargo ship. He has shown incredible abilitys in song and dance, aswell as Bow, sword, mace, and bascically any other wepon available to a elf. When he landed he walked and walked. On the way he found a ranch. One hoarse was as rabid and untamed as a beast from chaos. Using magic to communicate Arterius still wasnt able to stop the hoarse. After 2 years of earning money at the ranch and bonding with the hoarse. Arterius purchsed the stallion and named him wild fire. After riding to a large city in the empire Arterius protected the innocent and helped the army.

Personality: Humble but infatuates a arrogant aura. Never refuse a challenge hint hing story line :thumb: .

Equipment: Carries a hand crafted sword and armour. Three daggers varying length and a enchanted long bow. Arterius also carries a small horn that was left to him from his father.

Anything else: Will fight a open battle. Especially on his stallion Wild-fire. Does enjoy killing enemy mages and especially knights with his enchanted bow. His bow leaves a small burnt mark on all it stricks in the shape of a hoarse.

Reason for coming to salzenheim:
When Arterius heard, he couldnt resist the chance to prove himself. Only protecting innocents form bandits. After all his training wasnt going to be his lifes work.

Could I reserve a spot until Tueaday Ross? I'm so busy until then that'll be the first chance for me to do it.

Okay,I've got an elf and a human,which are both great,so thanks guys.You can PM the characters if you want.


EDIT:Just saw cally's post.Yeah,I'll try and keep a space for you,but you'll have to be quick and choose your race early on.

I choose a Goblin! I now can't wait to get going.

If I might make a suggestion?

The goblin works in Into The Kingdoms because it's set away from the Olde World, near the Silver Road. Anything can get hired as a mercenary 'round those parts.

If this is set in the middle of the Empire, you're gonna need a damn good reason for anyone to accept a goblin into their town, let alone hire one.

Just my two pennies.

O.K,

when a dozen or so people start dieing of strange circumstances in your town,you woudn't really be too picky on who you pick to help you.Plus,this mission requires stealth and sneakiness,and goblins have both of those "qualities".

Ok I wasnt sure whether my elf would suffice but it seems to fit. ALso if you could pm me when we start that way i can make sure im encluded because the article jumped 4 post since i last looked. ALso Kael Anduars human was a good model for my characters build cause i had to make off the top of my head so i followed Kael Anduar as a guide. Cya
PS cal i cant wait to see your goblin and could you in clude ligistics (height weight ect it could help paint a pic for are readers.

Lee, off course I'll go into extra detail on his appearance. Ross, could it be tomorrow as I'm slightly busy at tonight so I've only half done Skroznit.

Of course Cal.
Note:we still need a dwarf and a Ogre,so if anyone likes RPG;s fell free ot create a character.

...Ross, it really doesn't seem like you've thought this through. You're saying that townsfolk have been dying, they're all probably terrified and paranoid, and yet you still claim they'd accept help from a goblin - an enemy that most have probably only heard of in tales to frighten children, aside from the soldiers who have fought, killed, and watched their friends be killed by them - and an ogre!?

Both of the characters would likely have been either driven from the town or lynched by now - sure, it's possible that they're not evil, but the people here are definitely not feeling especially tolerant, especially of creatures that could likely smash half the population before being brought down.

I hate to do this but I'm going to upll out. It's too hard to justiy a reason why they'd let Skroznit help them. He'll probably be used in another rpg though.

Name: Slodin Ironbrook

Age: 70

Race:Dwarf

History: banished for theft from his father's safe, spent 5 years with a regiment of kossaks fighting chaos marauders but left when he met a group of maneaters. enticed by the mercenary lifestyle and possesing the knowledge of old world economics that the Ogres were so lacking of, Slodin quickly became the leader of his small band.

Personality: Greed has pushed Slodin not only from his family, but now from his race. He is generally easygoing and accepting of differences so long as they do not interfere with his quest for gold and other shiny materials.

Equipment: Slodin carries a cathayan longsword that he took from the Ogre leader he killed to attain his position. He wears patched and unprettily mended gromil plate armor.

Anything else:

reason for coming to salzenheim: As a port city, salzenheim attracts all forms of people, and therefore all forms of employment. due to their brutish appearence, Slodin's band have a way of avoiding others and therefore remaining ignorant to current events, therefore it was only apon their arrival that they discovered the city's state of affairs.

@ Calli IM sorry to see you go Calli maybe we can get another seasonded player to join.
@240 inches dwarves i never new they could be that way ps maybe we could have some rivalry.

@ ross im sorry i forgot the 3rd most important part to arterius he only wears a cloak he had inchanted by a figure of importance in the bretonian army no more said for now (tied to the hoarse thing)

Cheers Lee. Honestly 240" you background is ridiculous, ogres would never accept a dwarf into their band. It's also rather short and you can't get an idea of much about him because of that.

Isn't that a bit flammy and mean. Your just basically saying, "your characters crap and will never get in". Try to be a bit nicer.

Shaargor, it's not meant to be. I'm saying that the concept is stupid which it is and that it's rather short. I'll edit it though.

Well when i read the characters fluff,I thought it was an ogre.

Its been what 13 days are we going to start this or are we going to drop it and make me save arterius silverwind for anohter RPG

IVe been waiting long enough i do beleive this character has potential I need the creator to cut it or a moderator to lock this is a waste of space other wise.

I do believe this is dead. Topic locked: if I have acted wrongly, I urge the creator to PM me and I will unlock it in a jiffy.
