Darius

[Darius]

Basic Information Race: I am a creature born from clay, created by Harameus, god of Alchemy. I am a Pycon. Birthday & Age: I was born on the 32nd day of Summer in the year 508 AV. That makes me 2 years old. Gender: I am a guy, trust me. Name: You can call me Darius Physical Description I am small, even by Pycon standards. I stand at a meager 2 inches tall, and weigh 3 pounds. My hair has been painted brown countless times, and the same goes for my large, pupil-less eyes. In fact, the only part of my body not painted is my pale skin. The large backpack stuck onto my back serves as a small container. It usually holds spare clay. My green t-shirt is baggy and the sleeves barely reach my elbows. I also have shorts, colored like jeans. My feet are small brown shoes. Instead of separate fingers, my hands resemble mittens. Though, if I need to use five fingers I can just split my hands into sections. My mouth is tiny in comparison to the rest of my face, and my nose is a simple bump in the center of my face. Overall, people think I'm cute, even if I think the word is demeaning. NoteThe picture to the right is actual size! Character Concept My personality is pretty similar to that of most Pycons. I crave adventure, excitement, and risk. Anything that gets my adrenaline rushing, from races to fights to just about anything exciting, is what I like to do. I guess you can call me a thrill-seeker, but in truth, I just like to have fun. Life is short, why not take advantage of it while you can? I don't pay much attention to danger, because if I did I probably wouldn't be able to do half the things I like to do. Although, if it's one of my friends that's in danger everything is different. I can handle risking my own life, I can die from my own mistakes, but I can't just stand there and let someone I love get hurt. And that's usually a good thing anyway, because a rescue is one type of adventure! Plus, it usually involves kicking monster butt! I also can't stand still, I have to be doing something to stay busy. That trait made it difficult to study reinmancy, but learning the discipline was certainly worth the boring-ness. Anyway, I think I'll go now, telling you about myself is b-o-r-i-n-g! Character History Pre-Creation: My history... Well, I guess getting my Py-Pole is as good a place as any to start. I was 4 months old, just about to leave my parents and head out on my own. As a going away present they decided to buy me this fantastic pole, and it was a very good thing too, for it saved my life less than a week later. I was traveling to who knows where, looking for something to satisfy my thirst for adventure, when I encountered a snake. It wasn't a particularly poisonous type, but with me being 2 inches tall, the thing probably could've swallowed me in one bite. Anyway, the Py-Pole served as a great weapon, and I ended up using it to spear the snake through the head, incapacitating the foul creature. Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough and had a large part of my arm bitten off in the process. With hardly enough clay to last a few weeks in normal conditions, I knew I had to find somewhere to recuperate and rest, and fast too. I ended up stumbling upon a small cabin, 20 or so miles south of Syliras. The owner seemed nice enough. Plus, he had a large supply of clay in a storage closet. When I asked the human why he had so much clay, he said it was because he was a sculptor, I soon learned he wasn't telling the entire truth. After a week of recovering my arm had finally grown back completely, and in that time I had started to become suspicious. At last, one night I spotted Markus, as he was called, practicing magic. Later I found out he was animating a clay sculpture, but animation wasn't the only discipline Markus knew. When I later interrogated him about what I saw, he frowned and promised to teach me some combat magic as long as I didn't tell anyone where he lived. He said he could have just killed me on the spot, but he liked me. I wondered what he could have done to make it so important he remain hidden, but eager to learn magic, I agreed to his terms. A year later I had finally learned enough reinmancy that Markus thought I was ready to be on my own. It was a very boring year, but I realized how easy it would have been for me to die had I not learned all that I had to. I was once again free to search for adventure. And for the next seven months, that's what I did. Never truly settling down, I hunted creatures more than 10 times my size, continuing to hone my reinmancy skills. I looked out for any person needing something done, and while they were usually hesitant to enlist a man of my size, I usually proved that I was up for the job. That brings us to the present day. Not very exciting I know, but hey, I've only been around for two years! Post-Creation: Null Training (Skills, Arcana, Gnosis, Lore) Skills/Arcana: Escape Artist: 10 (Racial Bonus) --- As a Pycon I am capable of changing my form in order to 'slide' out of sticky situations. Though, I try to avoid doing this as much as possible for it messes up my paint Py-Ken: 20 (SP) --- Py-Ken, I would probably a lot more advanced in this skill if I hadn't learned Reinmancy. After all, it would have been my only form of offense and self defense. Of course, I still use my Py-Ken skills in order to avoid overgiving. Reinmancy: 30 (SP) --- Reinmancy is much more powerful than puny Py-Ken. I suppose I can be considered competent in this form of magic. I am able to confidently control fire (ironic, right?) and I also know how to control earth! Lores: Lore of Basic Use Of a Py-Pole (SP) Lore of Places to Look for Clay (SP) Languages: Common: Fluent Equipment and Possessions -3 Small balls of clay (SP) -1 Py-Pole (SP) -1 Tiny paint brush (SP) Ledger Summer 510 AV: +100 (SP) +500 (Cashed in for shelter) -21 GM, 5 SM (Bought Spot, Training, and Dog Food) Total: 578 GM, 5 SM Spot Spot is my pet dog. He's a Sykanis. I had him trained to the point where I can ride him when I need to travel long distances. He is also a huge help when it comes to carrying coins! Unlike most Sykanises, he isn't a hunting dog. Thread List 510 AV: Summer: First Explorations (The 9th) NOTE: Is unable to do threads too far from the pet shop from the 11th to 25th (Spot requires 2 weeks of training) Fall: Bored (The 3rd)
