I'm thinking about bringing two different characters to this game!
Character Info Name: Colerus Age: 6; adult mentally and physically Species: Sylvari - think 'colorful plant elves' and you've got the gist. They're all born as adults with skills and knowledge given to them via a mysterious process, and are empathic with other members of their race.
Setting Guild Wars 2; which is a fantasy MMO with aspects of steampunk and magitech all rolled together. (You'll see only the asura using holograms and computers while charr are out there building tanks and humans have airships, etc). The main conflict of the setting involves the powerful Elder Dragons awakening with the goal to absorb all the world's magic, prompting the various races to band together to fight for their survival.
Background/History Colerus is a non-main character OC from the Guild Wars 2 MMO. He's an explosives expert and a grease monkey-type engineer; he loves making and playing with dangerous toys. He's generally cheerful and also endlessly curious, happy to chatter on even about things unrelated with his pet specialties. (He also swears a lot, but since it's in plant puns it tends to not land with the severity it should).
The tl;dr of his background is that he moved to the city of Lion's Arch very early in his life to work as a blacksmith's apprentice, but was caught up in a major attack on the city by the villain Scarlet Briar. He came away from it with a condition called Scarlet's Rattle, a form of asthma caused by chemical agents. After that Colerus joined the large scholarly order named the Durmand Priory, and spent a couple of years as part of a small guild named the Sandford Cabal who uncovered evidence of a dragon cult. Some time after the Cabal joined the second military push in the Maguuma Jungle against the elder dragon Mordremoth, Colerus ended a long-term relationship and resigned from the Cabal in protest of their investigation being co-opted by the Order of Whispers. More recently he's joined a Priory expedition into Elona to help their study into the effects of the Dragonbrand there.
CR Wishes Anything! Colerus is a friendly sort and he'll want to know everything about this new world and the worlds that other characters come from. He's also the sort who loves taking apart tech to figure out how it works, so it's a good thing no one can bring a car in, that's all I'm sayin'. He'd be going to Cloud for sure.
Character Info Name: Pearson 'Pierce' Langford Age: 35 Species: Human
Setting Pierce is from a Weird West setting in 1900s America. Think of it as a historical version of pulpy supernatural horror, where myths and ghosts are real and you might actually run into a cryptid if you're unlucky.
Background/History Pierce is much more of a dandy than a cowboy, an old-fashioned gentleman who smokes cannabis to take the edge off of his anxiety. He hails from the growing city of Denver, where he started a small ranch and bred horses to support what was left of his family. He married one of his farmhands, a mysterious woman named Emma who didn't talk much about her past. They had a happy marriage, until she was murdered under strange circumstances, and Pierce found hidden journals detailing her former career as a monster hunter.
Pierce became somewhat obsessed with matching Emma's accounts of monsters to regional stories, and that in combination with the economic panic in the late 1880s lead him to selling off his horses with the intention of chasing down some of those rumors himself. Over the last five years Pierce has become a traveling paranormal investigator, gaining himself some small fame after escapades like an encounter with a ghost train, an investigation into the Boggy Creek Monster, and a run-in with the El Muerto headless horseman of Texas.
CR Wishes Since he's likely to be older than most other characters brought in, Pierce would do well as an uncle figure or just a level-headed voice in the room. He's a fairly soft-hearted guy and prefers asking questions over shooting first, so despite his career Pierce wouldn't necessarily be antagonistic towards more monstrous characters, just suspicious to start with. I'm planning on putting him in Stone for variety's sake.
Misc. I'm thrilled with Pierce's PB, just look at this amazing beard.
