RP Characters A la Xort

[Xortberg]

I've been meaning to give this RP business a shot, so let's make a character!

Name: Red Longspear

Gender: Male

Age: 38

Species: Red cat

Weapons: A long spear

Additional info: Despite being very street-savvy, Red happens to be a raging schizophrenic, and is flamboyantly bi-sexual. Also, he is very good with machines, although usually his mental instability clouds this talent.

Bio: Red never knew his parents, having to rely on his brother for everything growing up. The two lived their lives on the streets, and despite the obvious problems, they had a rather good life, rarely running into problems beyond petty thieves and the occasional mugger. One day, though, his brother was found dead in an alley. Police tried to find Red, but it was several weeks before he resurfaced. After questioning him about his brother's death, it was clear that something was wrong with Red's mind. Extensive testing revealed extreme schizophrenia, likely brought on by the events surrounding the incident. The truth was never found out, and Red was institutionalized. After several months, Red eventually orchestrated a breakout, escaping into the city. The police tried to find him, but he managed to elude them and lay low long enough for the search to be called off. Since then, he's wandered the streets, staying under the radar. He crafted his weapon, a mechanical long spear capable of launching the head like a bullet. Since this deprives him of a weapon, he has also learned basic martial arts, although he tends to disregard this in a fistfight, preferring the 'crazy guy' approach.

Not bad for your very first RP character.  :)

Yes, another not fully straight character! Lol. Not a huge amount of players are willing to play them, lol.

I write a lot, and characters are my favorite part of anything. I suppose that helps

Yes, another not fully straight character! Lol. Not a huge amount of players are willing to play them, lol.

I figured it'd be pretty fun when coupled with the schizophrenia.

It does seem to be quite an interesting mix, yes. Lol. And I totally agree with you on the writing end. Plot is fun too, but characters are what make the story all the way.

[Xortberg]

Name: Elizabeth

Gender: Female

Age: 42

Species: Human

Appearance: 5'8", brown shoulder-length hair. She has countless scars all over her body, which is very toned and well built, but she's not a bodybuilder.

Weapons: If nothing's around, she's a good fist-fighter, but she definitely likes to improvise. If her stories can be believed, she once killed a man with a fish.

Bio: Growing up, Elizabeth was the tomboy. She had no problems getting her hands dirty, and she could fight better than most boys in her class. Eventually, she got interested in the military, and once she graduated from high school she joined the Marines. She stayed with the Corps for twenty years was deployed in countless battles, and was awarded numerous awards for her service. Then, when she was 38, she left the Corps and became a nun, severing all contact with her previous life. When asked about her past, Elizabeth refuses to talk about it, saying "It doesn't matter." Despite being a nun, she still keeps her body in top condition and is more than comfortable breaking up a fight.

I'll probably add more as I think of it, since this doesn't really feel all that complete, but I suppose it'll do for now.

Time for my character to use in Milky's RP! Let's do this.

Name: Xort

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Species: Human

Appearance: About 5'8", shaggy brown hair and brown eyes. Roman nose, bit of an overbite. Average build; pretty skinny, but somewhat toned and with large calf muscles.

Strengths: Not much of a fighter, Xort plays the role of diplomat and, when the situation calls for it, feels perfectly at home putting someone in their place; verbally, of course. He's quite accomplished when it comes to the English language, and can put that to use in negotiating or persuading. In addition, though he's out of practice, he's still quite a passable long-distance runner, and an even better sprinter. When performing physical activity for an extended period of time he's one of the last to quit because of exhaustion.

Weaknesses: A bad fighter and not very strong, any task involving hard labor or combat is best left to just about anyone but Xort. In addition, though he has no problem acknowledging the fact that he and his plans have flaws, he finds it very difficult to pick them out himself and improve upon them. Also, he has a head much larger than it appears, so he has trouble finding hats that fit him.

Weapons: Given his ineptitude at combat, Xort's weapon of choice are his crushing logic, his rapier wit and, of course, his knowledge of ways to manipulate the English language in his favor.

Bio: Born and raised in small rural towns, Xort only recently moved to the Beautiful City of SF-O. Growing up, he was always reserved and shy, but not to the point that he was unable to function. Instead, he chose mostly to observe the people around him, read, and play video games when he was bored. He made few friends, but kept them close up until he graduated. Finally leaving behind his small town roots, he decided to move to the city, where his views might be more accepted than in the heavily rural places where he was raised. He quickly made a few friends and made something of a name for himself in his area of the city.

While not part of any sort of law enforcement, Xort took it upon himself to be a vigilante of sorts, though nothing explicitly against the law. His self appointed "job" was to take logic to the masses, trying to replace mindless groupthink with free will and individuality. As time went on, he found several others who shared his ways of thinking, as well as befriending some of the local law enforcement. During this time, this city underwent a drastic change.

Almost overnight, a tyrannical man, Milky, entered the city, seized power and overthrew order, rapidly turning the city on its head. He ruled with an iron fist, executing his enemies and suppressing free will. Anyone who spoke out against him was silenced. Xort could only watch as his work was undone before his eyes; agree with Milky, or die. No free will, no individuality.

Now, he's had enough. In his time at the city, he's come to love it, and watching as Milky oppresses everything he loves about the place is too much. He's going to do something about it, even if he isn't completely sure what.
