So welcome to the Portal, the gateway into our little world. It is here that your characters will make their appearances, and here that they will be archived for those who are to come, any for anyone else interested in viewing them. So here’s how it works. When you’ve joined our community, read the Map, and have at least one active character, make a single post in this thread. This post will be your character database, and will contain information on any character you choose to bring to the MotP. It’s a pretty simple concept: just remember to update it with new characters, and use the edit button. We want to keep this clean and easy to navigate—having only one post per person really helps with that. To further ease viewing, we’d appreciate you using a standard character sheet. Please enter your character in the following manner: [noparse][sblock=Character's Name][/noparse] [noparse]Name:[/noparse] Character’s name [noparse]Race:[/noparse] Character’s race [noparse]Appearance:[/noparse] Character’s appearance [noparse]Description:[/noparse] A brief description of your character [noparse]Other:[/noparse] Any other information we should know [noparse][/sblock][/noparse] Here’s an example of a finished sheet. Gideon Gideonson, Artificer Extraordinare Name: Gideon Gideonson, Artificer Extraordinare Race: Human Appearance: Gideon is a fairly short man, standing about 5’3” at most. He isn’t particularly well built, but he’s not rail thin either, although his loose leather coat often gives the impression that he is. He styles his chestnut brown hair and beard in the gnomish fashion, revealing his adopted heritage. His clothing is sewn almost entirely from durable leather, now burned, torn, and patched repeatedly. Numerous pockets cover his attire, and they bulge with strange assortments of mechanical, magical, and alchemical devices, along with countless spare parts and broken machinery. He slouches rather than standing, often seeming to shuffle along, a dog-ended cigarette sticking out of the corner of his mouth. Under this beaten appearance, however, is a vibrant excitement that gleams in his dark eyes. Description: When his gypsy parents abandoned him on the side of a dusty road, Gideon was taken in by a small band of gnomes, and raised as one of their own. Always a curious child, he rapidly picked up the gnomes enthusiasm for devices, becoming something of an expert in his field. An artificer and travelling tinker, Gideon wanders the world as the fancy takes him, never settling in one place for any length of time. He is an excitable person when roused, although often bitter and sarcastic when unenthused. His moods are unpredictable; a fact made no better by his several substance addictions—against all common sense and some medical fact, Gideon seems to suffer no adverse affects from mixing stimulants and depressants, possibly due to the unusual way in which his mind operates. It’s not out of the ordinary to find him early in the morning, his eyes gleaming and his hands deep in the workings of some mechanical contrivance, a cigarette clamped in his teeth, a pitcher of coffee at his side and a flask of whisky dangling at his hip. Other: Gideon expects everyone to be as interested in his work as he is himself, and so those who strike up conversations with him often end up receiving an impromptu lecture on topics as strange the “Proper Application of a Nine-Inch Beveled Longpin in the Construction of Self-Operating Mechanical Cart Apparatuses.”

"Coin" Race: Human Appearance: Charles, or "Coin," as he prefers to be called, is unquestionably a handsome young man. His sharp and striking features are almost eerily flawless, and his golden-blond hair and dazzling smile seem to always catch the light, no matter where he stands. His overall appearance is rather overwhelming to those first meeting him, and this effect, combined with his natural charm, causes him to dominate most situations he finds himself in. His attire is usually a spotless white suit, which he is quite defensive of, although he will occasionally exchange this for something a little more casual if the situation calls for it. He has, however, almost no conception of "sombre" attire, and would show up to a funeral dressed in white and smiling. Further, he would most likely not understand why this sort of action is frowned upon. Description: Charles Anstron is possibly the single most powerful mortal in the multiverse—in theory. He is nothing less than a True Sorcerer—his magical potential rivals even that of the gods, and entire planes could fall before him like grass before a scythe—again, theoretically. Unfortunately (or, perhaps, fortunately), Charles is also what the headmaster at Sigil Prep University calls "a walking disaster, completely incapable of mastering even the most basic techniques." This is not to say he lacks power—all Charles really lacks is control. He's just as likely to summon that Porsche he feels like driving as he is to inadvertently turn himself into a cream-filled pastry or accidentally banish his house to the Nine Hells. To be fair, this is a bit of an over-exaggeration: Charles does have enough control to at least sometimes get an effect similiar to the one he was aiming for, and he's always been able to do an assortment of minor party tricks successfully. Other: Charles is also an incredible flirt and party animal, having never really gotten past his college days. He'll always pay more attention to a pretty girl than to someone with something more important to tell him, and a sure way to guarantee that he'll at least think about talking to you is to buy him a drink. Of course, this is no assurance that he won't be immediately distracted by something more fun, but at least he'll consider it. And one final warning: never get him angry. It's incredibly hard to do, but when a man who has only a tenuous grasp on enough power to put someone using Detect Magic in the hospital for the better part of a month loses control, it's never pretty.

#4 munchlord Mar 19, 2009 17:40:04	Ziel Name: Ziel Race: Warforged Appearance: Ziel no longer resembles a warforged much. He is about half again as tall as a normal warforged and made from massive black metal. He is covered in black spikes, barbs and blades. His legs have two joints and long claws extend from his toes. His torso is shaped like a muscular human torso and a long bladed spike extends from the center of his chest above where the heart would have been on a human. Four arms hang from his shoulders, all with three joins, and long razor claws extend from his fingertips. The lower half of his face is nothing but a mouth with long wicked teeth in two rows. His eyes glow deep red and in spite of their appearent featurelessness, an onlooker can sense a keen intellect when looking into them. Upon his head rests a crown with long spikes made from the same black metal. Description: Ziel is the king of the warforged nation in the world of Soulforged. The warforged nation is the most powerful single nation in the entire multiverse that he comes from. He uses both the incredible physical durability of his body, in fact he has never suffered physical damage in this form, as well as an impressive physical and martial capability in combat, bolstering himself with sould magic and meldshaping and occasionally wielding soulfire blasts that he fires from his eyes. He has a dark alter-ego named Annihilation that is incredibly more powerful than he is, but for the most part it is confined deep within the mind and soul of Ziel. Other:Ziel was the first warforged to exist in his part of the material plane. He was created by an artificer named Aron. Aron had made a special bond between him and Ziel, forcing Ziel to obey Aron’s orders. For several years Ziel served Aron as a servant, guard and bodyguard, along with two other warforged that Aron had created. Then destiny ruled that war broke out between the kingdom where Aron and Ziel lived, and its neighbour. In order to give his kingdom the possibility to create vast forces in short time, Aron passed on the secret of creating a warforged. Soon the kingdom had a large amount of warforged, as they hade come to be know as they were first made for war. The warforged were used as slaves. The warforged had a special connection to the force of incarnum. They learned to manipulate it directly, creating items of power, and augment their own bodies. The best in the newborn art of meld shaping was no other than Ziel. As the warforged became more powerful in the art of meld shaping they became freer of their masters control. In the beginning no-one noticed, but one day a warforged had been too lax in his duties, so lax that it could be considered lack of obedience. This opened they eyes of the humans. The humans decided that all warforged should be eliminated, before they became a threat. At that time, half the population of the empire was warforged. Ziel himself was caught by surprise and destroyed, but his soul and his power over incarnum was too big for his soul to fall into the flow. He maintained continual existence as a spirit, and he moved freely. Only one warforged escaped, he fled to a mountain range, far beyond human lands. Ziel’s soul followed him, and when they had arrived in the mountains, Ziel contacted the other one. Ziel instructed the survivor, Artak by name and smith by trade, in the making of a warforged body. Ziel then inhabited the body, and together they started creating warforged bodies. Ziel used his mastery of soulstuff to turn fresh soulstuff into souls for the bodies, and soon the warforged had formed a growing empire. The warforged mine heavily, and the dug deeper than any dwarf have ever been. They discovered many new kinds of metal, and each time a new better metal had been discovered, the first body made from it would be inhabited by Ziel, while his old body would then come to shelter another soul. Eventually they reached a natural gateway to the elemental plane of earth. They dug their way into it, and within 10 years most of the warforged kingdom was on the elemental plane of earth. One day, the miners reached a vein of soulsteel, the first and only one to be found so far. They worked on it for many years, and one day they had forged a new body for Ziel.
