Waraxe with crystal serrated edge? And what's this family guard thing, and what employer?

Likewise I think you might have to explain, or just build on a couple things so we know exactly what's up.

Hello, though :3

Also may wanna hold off on putting those crystals in, assuming they were the ones from today's event. At least, until anybody knows what exactly they can do.

Guys,Im trying to be as mysterious as possible by revealing as little backstory as possible,i want people to learn michaels story ICly so they won't metagame and shit you know?

Metagaming has never been a problem at Olden, I wouldn't worry about that.

Just make sure you don't leave out any information which you'd need approval for.

Being mysterious and wanting people to discover things through IC is one thing, telling barely anything in a not-so coherent fashion in approval is another, to put it bluntly. As Krug said, metagaming really hasn't been much of an issue.

Right now we don't know where he's from, what he has done generally, how he's proficient in using several different kinds of weapons despite being so young and why he's come to Surna. I imagine those are a few major points concerning a character's backstory.

The weapon skills would need to be elaborated on aswell. We don't really have much of a juxtaposition if you only say he's "good" at them. For all we know, he could be nearly masterful with four different types of weapons at the age of 18, being barely an adult.

Oh, is this the guard mentioned in Adyna's character page?

Also, what the others said. What do you mean by Crystal serrated edge? Do you mean the crystals found in yesterday's event? If so, don't use them yet, as Ruta said, because nobody really knows what to do with them (or even really how to forge them into a weapon, I'm sure.) Also, being a family guard with those weapon proficiencies would make me think he should be a bit older than 18.

Agreed. The way you describe his upbringing doesn't really make sense if he's so young, he would have been like, swinging a sword at 13 or something like that.

It's good how you tied it in with the other character though. :3

6'5" is stupid. 6'5" in general is stupid.

I said this once I'll say it again, "GOOD" does not mean hes LOL I CAN SWING A SWORD BETTER THEN ALL OF YOU HURR. It means that he is meh..ok im decent with a sword. So please stop saying im a excellent axe master and shit,im decent with axes and spears,not HURRGOD like everyone else. It only needs one year of practice to become good at it,and he could stil be training.
