Samson Talon (Knives)


Appearance

Race: Kelvic
Gender: Male
Age: 2
Birthday: 515, Winter 7th
Birthplace: Lhavit

Under the many layers of grime and dirt Knives is a handsome young man. His short self-barbered black hair sticks out like a hanging fern you find in a common Lhavitian home and his black beard like an overgrown vine plant. He has pale white skin and bushy eye brows that hide beneath them a pair of kind, brown bird-like eyes. Saggy old cloths and sharp talon-like nails hanging on top of gnarled fingers and a hunching posture are caused by being continuously crouched on the side of the road whittling bird figurines.

Character Concept

After the passing of his parents Knives has lost his desire for earthly possessions. Selling his family home Knives decided to live on the streets of Lhavit as a homeless orphan to come closer to his ideal to be "as free as a bird". Knives now spends most of his day whittling tiny bird figures to sell to by-passers, bird watching, meeting new people, scavenging for nourishment, looking for shelter for the night and flying freely in his Cinereous Vulture form that to the mountain region.

Knives is a kind and loving. Making new friends and acquiring knowledge drives his day to day life.

Character History

Born to a good home in Lhavit, Knives's parents were renowned herbalists in the city. On his 1st birthday Knives returned home from a friendly occasion to a horrific scene that scarred him forever; his parents laying breathless and bloody on the kitchen floor. The Shinyas and Lhavit's top investigators could not find any evidence as to how they died or who's to blame for Knives's misfortune. Only a few people know Knives real name as he earned his nickname on the street for the many whittling knifes he uses to carve his figurines.

Hi there.

This name violates our Name Policy which you agreed to by joining this website and agreeing to our ToU and Rules. Please select a proper name and use it. Knives is a plural noun. We do not allow these sorts of names on our site.

I appreciate that you are trying to conform, but your account name MUST be your actual character name and not a nickname. Your CS must be titled your character name. Knives is a nickname and not a proper character name.

Thank you.

Gossamer

Let me shed some light on the situation

Welcome to Miz, Samson! I'm Luminescence, and I'm here to help. I notice you've changed your name per Gossamer's intervention, which is great; however, there are a few other things in your CS that need to be fixed before you continue.

*Your race & appearance: I know that you mention it in your concept, but I would recommend listing by your race, perhaps in brackets, what type of Kelvic Samson is, ie what his animal form is.

I also highly encourage you to write up a physical description for his animal form, even if it's brief.

*Your age: It is currently summer 520 AV; if Samson was born in winter 515 AV, that would make him 4, not 2. Please adjust either his age or birthday accordingly.

*Your history: I encourage you to expand on your history a little bit; I understand that Samson is young and his parents were killed when he was young, but you do need to at the very least explain where he learned his skills.

*Your skills: Please denote your starting package skills as SP the way you denoted your racial bonus as RB. Also, your total column is off; all of them say 10.

Also, I'm not sure that you meant to take Busking as a skill; that involves performing for coin, and so is usually accompanied by some sort of performance or entertainment skill, and you haven't taken any. Begging would be more appropriate.

*Your lores: Where would Samson have learned a lore of Pycon maturation? I've seen the Pycon's CS and understand you two plan on starting to RP with your PC's knowing each other, but in that case, you need to explain this at least briefly in your history.

*Your possessions: Please choose a cloak OR coat.

*Your housing: Homelessness is not allowed in Lhavit. You have to choose somewhere to live. Your options for permanent housing include a cottage on the Okomo Estates, which come with a garden, or an apartment in the Solar Winds. Alternatively, you can keep your cashed-in money, and rent seasonally from either the Solar Winds or from the Shooting Star Inn.

Once you've made the above corrections, let me know and I'll remove this intervention. Otherwise, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to either PM me or find me in our Discord chat!
