Fantasy The Dead Forest - Characters

[MegaGoatBabe]

The Lore

It has been three hundred years since mankind ran itself nearly extinct through war. The remaining factions live spread far apart in the desert, the Kahul who pride themselves on their ability to prevail in the toughest of situations, the Under who are often filled with shift and selfish people who will do anything to survive, and the Tusk who live a mostly peaceful life using violence as a last resort.

Then there are the Terafer. After the Great War the land was just desert, until a large forest bloomed out of no where. Inside this forest resided every creature known and they seemed to live in perfect harmony. The lion still ate the gazelle, but only when hungry. The penguins waddled through the greenery unperturbed by its lack of ice and the cold. Near the edge of the forest was a small settlement of people, not human though. They looked just like the humans, but had a special connection with the forest and its animals. They were called the Terafer, and once a Terafer reached the age of thirteen they received what the people called an Aya, or a spirit animal. A specific animal within the forest that they had a connection with. The people wore a small wooden carving of their Aya around their neck. Each Terafer resembled their Aya in their physical abilities and characteristics.

All was peaceful within the world, with the exception of a battle between the factions or with the Terafer every now and then. Until one night simultaneously animals left the forest going to each faction and the Terafer settlement and attacked the peoples. It was unheard of and left the desert and forest painted with red. The Terafer and the Humans got together, each Faction choosing two people accompanied by four Terafer to go on a quest to discover what happened to the animals and the forest.

The People

The Factions
Kahul - If you are from this Faction you are particularly tough. Your skills will pertain mostly to survival, i.e. Hunting, Gathering, Extra resistant to heat etc.
Under - These people are rather sneaky so you are probably very persuasive and charming.
Tusk - Their skills are often focused more towards conflict resolution or general living.

The Terafer
They have lived in the forest their whole lives so their skills should be focused on that as well as that of their Aya. Terafers skills will be somewhat supernatural in that a Terafer whose Aya is a cat may be extra nimble.

*Note: Terafer and Humans do not get along very well, the Terafer often see themselves are more superior and the Humans see them as mutants*

*I am comfortable playing any character, it might be easier lore wise if I play a Terafer but if there is a big interest in them I am more than happy to play a human. I will create my character last so hopefully you can end up where you most want to be*​

Name: Berry Jameson
Gender: Male
Age (18-30): 19

Spoiler: Appearance

Aya: Fox
History: Growing up in the forest, Berry is an only child who lost his parents in battle between another faction when he was very young. He then went to live with a small family, being accepted almost immediately. He grew up as a loner, often sticking to himself. He has always been the type of person to move away from a crowd than to approach it. He didn't have very many friends growing up, just a few here and there although they all seemed to part ways as they grew older.
Personality: Berry is an introvert. He'd rather be inside, doing his own thing than be outside and hanging out with others. He is very playful and if he gets attached to you (which is rare), he can be very loving and clingy. He is also sly and slick, often able to sneak around and get away with breaking the rules now and again. He can also be described as agile and quick. He loves to run and exercise, keeping himself in shape.
Skills/Abilities: Running, jumping, sneaking, stalking
Weaknesses: Crowds, loud noises, aggressive behavior
Other: He is very sensitive, and unable to hide it.

History: As far it's known, Nadine borned in the hermetic bubble of a wealthy family, that's the reason why she spent almost all her childhood practicing etiquette's manners and every clase of aristocrats activities, learning step by step how to figure herself in the era of conflicts. Everything was going great until she became 13 years olds, when the night of her birthday a group of looters and crooks took down the security entrance gate and start to steal and kill whatever they saw. Nadine's parents only had chance to hide her behind a tiny and narrowed space inside a wall, and when the time came, Nadine's parents were the last ones being killed. Nadine only could stay quiet while she was watching that butchering and depravation in front of her. People say that Nadine was adopted by her uncle, but nobody can relay on that

[hostage]

Name: Roan Skairipa

Gender: Female

Age (18-30): 22

Appearance:



Faction: Under

History: Roan was once a smuggler. A jack of her trade. She could charm a guard out of his wits, then would leave him dead in an alleyway. She could conceal weapons and people as easily as putting on a glove to conceal a blister or scab. That all changed, very quickly. When a woman asked to be smuggled in, she agreed. They spent much time together, as Roan was taking her across the country. Roan even admitted to herself that she was developing an infatuation with her. Yet when her task was almost finished, Roan was caught. The woman was taken and killed. After that, Roan stepped aside, dropping her trade and skills. Along with that, she stopped caring.

Roan rose quickly through the 'ranks' of the Under. Her power was untested, as she had ways of killing off anybody who spoke against her. People, vagabonds, even her own smugglers she had spent time with feared her. Her motto was "Caring is weakness." People pitied her, as everybody knew of her past.

Personality*: She doesn't very much show a personality, but she appears cold and uncaring. She has a soft spot for ones who have lost their families and loved ones.

Skills/Abilities*: Roan used to be charming and witty, but those dropped as her facade did. She became calculating and brutal. She is a master of the sword, and intelligent, as she's been all over.

Weaknesses: Roan is a skilled fighter, but is overconfident. That could lead her to letting her guard down. Due to her past, her existence is very much based on solely survival, and it can lead her to doing many deprecating things to others, and it will often lead to her being injured or becoming weaker.

[Lava]

Name: Farah Lark
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Appearance: Lean, fit with tough dark skin, Farah has a strong body and stands taller than most women at 5'10". Her jawline is very difined, and she has quite a handsome face.
Faction: Kahul
History: Farah has been competing with her two big brothers since they could all walk. Both of them always seemed to out do her. They caught a bigger pig, they fought better with their swords, they could even carve wooden sculptures better than her. Farah never stopped trying to be better. She was always out the latest and up the earliest for training. Every time she fell over, and she shed even one tear her mother would scold her, tell her that the Lark's never gave up no matter what. The three children were always being tested. They were under the impression that it was all to do with their abilities as fighters, gatherers and hunters, but that was not all the criteria.

Her eldest brother was called Renu, and he was a bully, there was no other way to put it. He was extreamly skilled at everything he touched, he was the best fighter out of all of the kids they knew, and he held the record amoung them for the biggest catch whilst hunting, and the biggest fish while fishing. He had the prettiest woman by his side, and he was always the talk of the town. But he sure let you know about it. He was mean, he let his ego overcome his honor, he liked to kick dirt in your face while you were down and show off when you messed up and he prevailed. His constant showing off almost cost his friends their life on hunting trips when he waited till the last second to save them from a beast that was lunging at them.

Her second eldest brother was named Taakar a good kid, but he wasn't quite as dedicated. He was the first to complain when it was getting late and he was tired, he took peoples help for granted. Despite his skills sometimes rivaling Renu's he just did not care as much. Farah struggled to get the hang of archery, but she stuck too it, she wasn't as strong in fights but she never stayed down and always found a way to win eventually.

When the time came to choose someone from their village to go on this quest, everyone pointed at Renu. Everyone expected the elder to choose him because he was the best, but they chose her. Something about her strength, intelligence and sheer determination trumping everyone in the faction. She was absolutely thrilled to be going on this quest, and intends to do her faction proud.
Personality: Hardworking and unrelenting would describe this young warrior. She is mildly aggressive and obnoxious, but she's there for her team when it counts. She has a rather booming laugh and likes to joke around (Usually at the expense of others) in her down time, but she knows how to appoligise when she oversteps. She can be stubborn durin arguments and has a lot of pride which is easily irritated by a challenge or dare.
Skills/Abilities: Hunting, Long distance running, sword fighting, hand-to-hand combat
Weaknesses: Competitive, easily led into doing something dumb if her pride is threatened, very stubborn, easily angered
Other
