A tip to an old favourite game of mine (Valkyrie Profile). I've always wanted to RP a guy like Arngrim.

Name: Arngrim Herverar
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Race: Furya
Weapons: Durandal, a massive two-handed greatsword. He also wears thick plate armour to match his sword. His sword is hewn from obsidian, perhaps the only metal able to withstand Arngrim's battle wrath.

Class: Heavy Warrior/Berserker
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 14stone 2
History: Arngrim's name is mud among the majority of his people. He was banished after committing a grave insult to the king of the Furya; he demonstrated his weakness in front of his Court and a number of honour guard. However, for all their slander, he remains one of their most feared warriors and before his exile he was a hero to all common soldiery.

He is, and always has been, a sellsword of great reknown. Prior to exile, his services were almost solely to his king, however make no mistake - his loyalty is to coin, not country. He has fought on both sides of wars before now, finishing one contract before offering his services to the opposing side. He is incredibly arrogant, and oft boasts of victories (yet few are hollow boasts) or taunts the weakness of friend and foe. He loathes weakness, particularly from those in positions of power. For all flaws, he does have the virtue of honour - he will fulfil a contract or die trying. He is also a relatively fair fighter, if one counts battling using a six-foot greatsword as fair.

Although it makes his already grand frame look even more imposing, his armour is certainly not for show; it bears the marks of having shrugged off what would otherwise have been deathblows. He possesses no other weapon save his own strength and rage. When his own great strength isn't enough, and he's sufficiently enraged, he channels his innate magical power into the strength of his arms, and this 'soul crush' can smash through what even brute force cannot. He never casts spells in the traditional sense - though he appreciates the value of magic, he sees it as beneath him.

Alignment: Neutral

(If accepted, could someone liaise with me about an 'in' please? I don't want to interrupt the flow by appearing out of nowhere! ;) )

He sounds pretty awesome, and pretty reasonable, so you should get accepted ;)

Welcome aboard! (well, soon-to-be aboard, we just have to wait for Vorts approval)

He sounds cool, another merc to put some strain on the group, should be a lot of fun. That being said for 6'6" 12stone 10lb is tiny, you should probably be looking for the 16st ranged for someone who's full of muscles and that height.

It's about right for a heavyweight boxer, however I will add a stone and a half. ;)

Seeing as how you're a mercenary and I was a mercenary, I can be your liaison.

If you've got some certain way you'd like to make the connection, lemme know. Here's my idea...

Tom and Arn (yes, I am going to shorten his name in my posts) were the top mercenaries of Arsencia, the cream of the crop, the top notch, etc. They never did have the pleasure of working together, but they did have the pleasure of working against one another as rivals. Some dipshit decides to hire them both out, without telling them that the other was going to be there too. Tom and Arn make the kill, but are upset at each other's being there, big fight scene commence. Tom gets those neasty scars he carries, and Arn gets some marks in his armor. They decide fighting is slightly stupid, and go off realizing that neither person can win.

This way, we've fleshed out my character and yours a bit more, while still allowing room for yours to grow. Plus, it makes our story line all that more interesting with neither character able to trust the other.

Sure, I'll go along with that! ;) Sounds like a good plan, make us have a history.

Yep, that all sounds fine to me. Welcome aboard, Ash. It'll be nice to have another RPer we can trust to write with a degree of fluency and skill. My thought on your entrance was that someone could have hired you to take down the same man we're after, and then we run into you on the way, leading to a confrontation between your character and Copaman's, but I'm not really fussed. However you feel happiest with bringing your chap in will be fine by me. As you noted elsewhere, Arsencia is run in a liberal freeform manner.

Apologies for having to guest-post, but my wireless connection's playing up and I can't remember my password to sign in on the downstairs desktop. (My laptop has me permanently signed in.)

One last thing: FZM and I will finish up with our little private storyline as soon as possible. We're both experiencing RL difficulties at the moment.

Gald to see that there's someone else out there that like Valkyrie Profile. Good game, that. Welcome to the group.

Exactly what I was thinking.

... I can't remember my password to sign in on the downstairs desktop. (My laptop has me permanently signed in.)


And this is exactly why I have 3 (?) Accounts here at Revora, just search Copa in the members list. Can't remember the PWords for the other two, so I made sure I could remember this one :grin: And honestly, I'm alot happier with the shortened username.

& EDIT: So does this mean we get to kill the minotaur now and move on to the big fight scene? I have something special planned for Tom, and we can introduce Ash's guy.

@ Ash: LOL, I actually have to force myself not to call you Paradox.

Added some things. See the big bolded EDIT.
