Relationships

Kara Ogoni:
Kara was one of the first people I've met since I've arrived in Surna... She's been so nice... I... I think.... no... I couldn't be in... not with her... but why not? She's a nice girl... Why not? Because. She's not interested, so I left Surna, there were no more possibilities here.

Volten Ogoni:
I thank Mr. Ogoni so much for ridding me of my demon, however I am now certain I will never repay the debt I owe unto him....

Brenna Arrakis:
Brenna seems like a nice woman, shes a bit temperamental. I saved her life on that shade hunting expedition... after I poisoned her with super strong booze...

Duncan Atterson:
Duncan's a nice guy with his heart set on Brenna. Its nice to see love defying convention. We fought together in that shade hunting trip, afterwards we had a nice chat... I think we're becoming good friends.

Aurora Melrose
My loving wife, Aurora. I took her name as I forsake my own. Looking back on my journal, I was rather naive.

I will accept this, though there are some minor flaws in the biography.

1. You can only be born as a Tiefling. You can not become one by being possessed, regardless of age.

2. The Nine Hells are now referred to as just "Hell", to avoid copying Forgotten Realms. This hasn't actually been written anywhere on the forums, so it's easily forgivable.

One last caveat: I know he's supposed to be smart, but a kid with extensive knowledge of wards and enchantments really stretches the realm of plausibility. Be careful not to overplay his abilities.

I have fixed the issue of Nine Hells, and excluded the Tiefling tidbit. Thanks.

Acceptemente, kosher and basic.

Deny, but will go to pending if the details below are changed.

Stage 3: Possessed
The result of a successful possession attempt. A Demon's soul has moved into the individual's body, seizing control of most, if not all, motor functions. The mind and soul are likely damaged irreparably. All Stage 3 individuals are to be tracked and contained within the Asylum, no exceptions. It is permissible to kill a Stage 3 under orders from a superior. Be sure to burn the body.

just throwing that out there from munroes post on demonology and such.

The age. I mean cmon. A fourteen year old? We have like so many youngins so far and with your magic skill and range skills it would be near impossible to master them by that age. It doesn't hurt to make him 30 or something.



EDIT: Accepted based on Mun says it checks out. Roleplayed with him lately and thought it was fine.

Changed!
Plus an effect for the demonology tidbit

I see someone like the Markka style of char page.

I will accept though. I look forward to seeing you inserver once I get some time off of bloody work.

Stuff

We have one 14-year-old so far. There are also a couple 16-year-olds, but the people who play them no longer come here (and will likely be banned the next time they do).

Also, I accepted this, and I wrote the lore on Demonology. It checks out, don't worry.

I do like the addition of "Marked" to the page. It makes things clearer, so that's good.
