His is short. I guess it's up to you whether Ranfast would be aware of that. He shrugged.

The Bookwyrm Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Quote Hey, I expressed interest in this thread earlier and then it went on without me. Could I make a character, maybe, with the Strategist Talent that sometimes works with law enforcement and/or bounty hunters and/or other folk and analyzes the social construct of cities to look for crime and rouge Talented and the like? And your little entourage comes and visits him/her/them for information, and he/her/they end(s) up joining you all? @Mystic Syn Edited January 20, 2023 by The Bookwyrm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain't stopping you from joining with the character you have right now. But if you want to make another character to replace what you already have, that's fine with me. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable and happy.. and also within reason of the world loll. 2 hours ago, Tani said: hey how loud are you talking can the crowd hear you or should I be eavesdropping from in the alley, maybe in a "crate?" Quote I would say that the crowd can only hear small bits and pieces of the conversation, like some words and phrases, but not the whole thing. If that makes any sense. You can eavesdrop from the alley too, if you wanna actually hear the full context of the conversation. 12 hours ago, The Aspiring Archivist said: He shrugged.

This character might stretch the boundaries of what you had in mind too far...if so, let me know, and I'll happily change it. Quote Name: Alyxa Tantel Pronouns: She/Her Age: 26 Nationality: Xefic Appearance: Moderate height, not overtly tall, but by no means short, either. She's i n good shape; even though her work involves lots of paperwork, she tries to get field experience in whenever possible. Black skin speckled with interesting patterns of "stars". Her dark blue hair is unnaturally short for her race, kept in a style similar to a pixie cut. Her eyes are the same shade as her hair. She likes to wear simple, utilitarian clothing; button shirts or blouses with trousers and boots, always in simple colors. Sometimes something fancier if occasion demands it. The only accessories that actually seem like something a Xefic would wear are her earrings, which are made of white gemstones and glitter like constellations. Personality: Alyxa is a kind person at her core, but sometimes comes out as forceful to those she doesn't get along with. She's outspoken and determined, hard-working, and self-reliant. For a living, she analyzes various types of data and statistics from the population, and then, using her talent, she is able to deduce facts that are helpful to the government, law enforcement, and occasionally, bounty hunters. If possible, she likes to go out and gather her own information in the field. Sometimes, the field is dangerous, and thus Alyxa is fairly proficient with firearms; she has a pistol, but prefers to use her rifle if possible. Talent and Type: Strategist, Intellectual Backstory: Alyxa's grandparents were Xefic who, for whatever reason, ended up leaving their society to travel the world. They held fast to some traditions, but others faded over the decades. Her parents were born out of Xefic society, and so their only taste of the culture came through their upbringing. Not everything filtered through. Alyxa's parents were also travelers for many years, until they met in Validus, fell in love, and decided to settle and start a family. Alyxa, her elder brother, and her younger sister, now three generations removed from the Xefic homeland, retained very little of their culture, including the general Xefic attitude towards hair. Alyxa inherited the earrings from her mother's mother, and they're the biggest and most constant reminder of her ancestry. Now Alyxa has her own profession, but she still keeps in good contact with her parents and siblings. [Insert some trauma here later.] Misc: I believe everything relevant has already been said. Quote The main worry is the fact that Alyxa doesn't really fit Xefic culture. Is this okay? And if it is, then you can add it to the main page. @Mystic Syn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
