GOSS NOTE: This PC has more than 5 alts. He has about 12-14 that I've found so far. I can't post a mod intervention on this thread because he has broken code that really screws the thread up. Anyhow that's why hes got a RED X.

Jory Carver Basic Information Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 29 Years Old Birthday: 57th of Autumn, AV 484 Birthplace: Sunberth Appearance: The man stood around five foot ten, give or take an inch, fairly broad with some bulk behind him but he lacked definition, not the body of someone who laid about all day but neither the body of some rich boy who could afford to workout day in, day out or of a trained warrior who had endured the constant drills of combat. His hair was a dark brown, though it was rarely brushed and tended to be swept back with the sweat of work and across his angled jaw was a rough brow stubble that was always in a staged of growth depending on how long ago he had shaved. He walked ungracefully, with an intrusive gait, the walk of someone who places little value in style but rather in establishing their presence His face was fairly stern and grim for one so young, particularly when working when his thick brown brow would be furrowed in concentration while his skin was weather-beaten, and around his face with faint freckles under his eyes and on his nose that one could only see if they stood close. Character Concept Personality Jory is paranoid, aggressive, callous and has a complete disregard for anything that doesn't affect him. In short he is a born and bred Sunberthian. Like all residents of Sunberth, he was taught from a young age to trust no strangers and be wary of all outsiders, to him there is no such thing as a free gift or a true friend but that is a trait that is hardly uncommon in Sunberth. His tenacity is something else that can be found running thick through his city, whether in a brawl, treatment or diagnosis he has a reputation for pulling no punches, nothing is off-limits when he is invested in some way. This may lead some people to believe he is nosy and prying but when he encounters something that doesn't affect, or at least he believes doesn't affect him, he wouldn't give two shits most of the times since to him nothing good comes of sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. Morals Morals cannot be set in stone to him, how can one stick to a code and principles when every situation is different? To him those who have a creed must either give no thought to the future and what it will bring or are massive liars. He's not an ambitious, backstabbing, crafty individual, but would he be willing to do something unsavoury when a knife was put to his back or saw huge benefit to himself... almost certainly. Likes Violence - He's stepped in the ring a few times and he's watched it a lot more, this is a guy who doesn't mind throwing or taking a few punches. Hard Work - While he thinks he has to take the most shit with his job making him one of the hardest working man in Mizahar in his opinion, one of the best ways to earn his respect and approval is simply put some elbow grease into whatever it is he does. Scholarly Pursuits - Reading, writing and even trying to examine the natural world are all things he enjoys. For him, furthering knowledge and learning about the world around him is something he supports completely with only a few exceptions. Peace and Quiet - He's not uncomfortable in a crowd and he doesn't find himself awkwardly shuffling off every time a social situation arises but he is a man who prefers his own company to other people. Drink and Pipeweed - He likes a drink and smoke to relax, both on the stronger side for most people's taste. Dislikes Beggars - Jory has no sympathy for those who wallow in self-pity and those who live off handouts so he's more likely to give beggars a kick in the teeth rather than some coppers. Outsiders - Raised with caution and wisdom, Jory has become a little bit distrusting over the years. Combined with a touch of casual racism, Jory will seldom warm up to an outsider, particularly one that stands out in a crowd, when first meeting them. Overindulgence - Jory drinks and smokes, he's hardly a perfect man. But that doesn't mean for one second he will turn a blind eye to those who make stupid decision after stupid decision for their particular vice, and those that do will quickly find themselves on their own. Magic - Magic is hardly loved by the people in most places, and in Sunberth they downright hate it. Raised with a healthy hatred of mages and their machinations anyone stupid enough to reveal the fact that they possess magic in Sunberth are likely to see Joru either leave them to the mob, throw a punch, or try and kill them himself. Indifference Slavery - Everyone has their place in the world and for some people to be at the top there has to be the masses at the bottom, he doesn't like authoritarian figures, he doesn't like people who through their weight around, but even he has to accept that there is a pecking order to life and truthfully he is just glad he isn't at the bottom. Religion - Jory is aware the gods exist, and he gets the impression they are far more powerful than he could ever be, but they have never played a major role in his life and unless one steps forward to claim him, that is unlikely to change. Character History Pre-Creation History He was born Jory Carver on 25th of Autumn, AV 486 in the shithole that was Sunberth. A healthy child was normally considered a gift to the parents, a small piece of life that they had created together that was meant to be treasured and nurtured, but not for Jory. His mother was called Sophia Carver, and his father might have been anyone for all Jory knew. His mother was a whore, or at least just a slag based on the number of gentleman callers she received on a daily basis. With no sense of compassion, or even decency as she dealt with these men, at times in front of her infant child as he grew up through the years. The men had often showered her with gold and gifts, allowing her a taste of a life she would never fully experience but as time allowed Jonathan to grow and flourish somewhat, it yellowed her teeth and wrinkled her skin, turning the once gem of a women into a bitter, hollow shadow of her former glory. So throughout the years Jory was subjected to abuse, physical in his early years from both his mother and some of her gentlemen callers, while in his later teenagers it was more verbal about both his failings as a son and her former glory. Jory hated the bitch, every day silently grinding his teeth and clenching his jaw to avoid lashing out against her, and one might have forgiven, or at least understood him for one day crippling or killing her in anger, but that day never came. At the age of eighteen he left home, not for bigger and better things, in fact just a couple of blocks away but it was a start nonetheless. Striving to do more that his washed out mother ever did he became an assistant to Doctor Petricious, the local and only doctor within Sunberth. Jory 's time there was informative if not distasteful, observing the doctor distantly, choosing to learn by observation and more ethical hands on treatments as opposed to the doctor's more brutal experiments he was so renowned for. Any time that was spared was put to good use, expanding his knowledge of herblore. But the senseless brutality of Doctor Petricious irritated him and towards the end of his employment there they had begun to clash, so like so many assistants before him, Jory chose to leave the sadistic doctor. But he wasn't going to leave, far from it indeed, the world outside of Sunberth held no interest to the doctor so instead he made the stupidest decision on paper and decided to form his own medical clinic in Sunberth.

Do you have any brothers or sisters? Only child as far as I know off, wouldn't surprise me if my pa fucked another whore and got her pregnant but I wouldn't know anything about that. As for my ma, unless she 'ad one before I cam along and got rid of it I'm pretty sure I ain't got any siblings 'cos of 'er. 3. What is your extended family like? I don't know... Is family that distant really that important? 4. Do you consider close friends as important or more/less important than family?

Common is my mother tongue, I also know some Fratava since enough bloody sailors and traders come through 'ere.

As for a accent, what does a Sunberthian accent sound like anyway? 4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? Not that I know of, I won't know until some annoying little bastard points 'em out then I won't be able to stop noticin' 'em.

Some things are best left unsaid. Occupations : 1. What is your occupation? I'm a doctor. 2. Do you like/dislike your work? Why?

Never really thought about it... Rich I suppose. 4. What occupation do you admire the most? Why? Mine obviously. 5. What occupation do you least like? Why? Yours?. Childhood : 1.

I was a doctor's assistant to a Doctor Petricious, the only doctor in Sunberth. It wasn't a formal education, I learnt mainly through observation and practical experience. I often used any spare time I 'ad to learn about herb lore and philtering. 2. Do you like/dislike learning? We learn every day, don't we? But I don't mind playing the scholar and doing specific research if that's what you mean but it isn't my favourite thing to do. 3. Where or how did you learn most of your skills/abilities? 'aven't you asked me this already? Like I said, I learnt most things from Doctor Petricious when I was working for him for a time. 4. How do you learn best? Practical experience is always the most valuable, you can't learn my trade from a book. Relationships : 1. Do you form close bonds with people? Why? Why not? Pfft, I dunno man. That's a little beyond me truth be told, I don't think but I've never thought about it before. 2. Do you trust people easily? If not, why not? I find myself in the position of being trusted rather than having to trust people, but if that have proven themselves to be reliable or at least competent then I don't see why I wouldn't. 3. Do you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? I'm bi. 4. Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time. Have you ever been punched in the face? If not, I would be happy to do so. 5. Have you ever had sex? If so, describe the first time. Never mind the punch in the face, how about a knife to the balls? Drugs and Alcohol : 1. Have you ever been drunk? If so, describe your first time. Of course I have been drunk; I can't even remember the first time I got drunk I have done it that much. 2.

Have you ever tried drugs (mood altering substances)? If so, which kinds and what did you think of them? Nope, apart from some pipeweed every now and again I don't take anything 5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Be specific. Make your question more specific, I couldn't give a rat's arse about drugs and alcohol. If people want to take them that is fine by me, it is none of my bloody business, sends more business my way after all. Likes and Dislikes : 1. What are your hobbies? I don't know man... Drinking, smoking, maybe hitting the cage pits every now and again. 2. Do you like to read? I guess, I ain't that good at it. 3. What annoys you more than anything else? Pretentious arseholes who think every word they speak in a pearl of wisdom 4. What do you find the most relaxing activity to do? Sleep. Favourites : 1. What is your favourite colour or colours?

Piss off, something's are private y'know. 4. What do you like to eat? What do you hate to eat? Well anything with meat in. And potato soup is pretty damn nice as well. Any fancy vegetarian food. 5. What is your favourite type of weather? Does any kind scare you? Of course no weather scares me, I am not some child still afraid of thunder and lightning. My favourite weather is a clear winter's day with no wind. Outlook : 1. Are you optimistic or pessimistic? I am unsure, that is for other's to decide ain't it? 2. What are your religious views? I don't care for most of them, to them we are merely playthin's things in the grand scheme and if that's the case they ain't gonna care one shit about me. 3. Would you be able to kill? I have. 4. What are your views on sex? I'm sorry but I don't understand the question. People do it... There is not much else to say. 5. What, in your opinion, makes a successful life? Lots of gold.
