I apologize if I used ALLCAPS too much, I was trying to give off a feeling of pure Testosterone Poisoning.

There are two things that Buliwyf loves in life, drinking with friends and fighting in glorious battles. Luckily for him, both of those happen to be what he does on a near daily basis. Despite his boisterous behaviour, Buliwyf has a personal sense of justice that rules his life:
  • 1. He will never harm a child, no matter how evil.

  • 2. He will never kill an unarmed or surrendering enemy.

  • 3. He will never take away someone's freedom.

• Patron: Týr, God of HEROIC GLORY

• Stats:
  • Muscles: A
  • Machoness: B
  • Movement: D
  • MADNESS: C
  • Magicks: E

• Spirit Axe: A one handed battle axe dubbed Severance that looks something like this◊.
  • Spirit Axe Ability: Severance makes you bleed, a lot.

• SHOUTS:
  • E: ROAR OF GIANTS! Buliwyf roars mightily and staggers anyone bearing hostile intentions.
  • D: BLAZING ARMS! Whatever weapon is currently in use by Buliwyf is engulfed in a brilliant Blue flame that ignites whatever foe the weapon in question hits.
  • C: RAGE OF THE SLAYER! Buliwyf swings faster and harder cleaving through his foes like an axe through butter.

• Spells:
  • E: TIDE OF STONE! Buliwyf smashes his weapon against the ground and sends a wave of stone at his nearest enemy.

• Weapons:
  • E: A Broadsword (ignore the MacLeod engraving)◊ and Targe◊

  • C: A kukri◊ because Kukris Are Kool
  • B: A massive greatsword named Thistle which Buliwyf uses for cleaving through multiple foes◊
  • A: A giant Maul Buliwyf has dubbed Voidshaker◊

History: Buliwyf hails from a small northern village and was born into a family of warriors. From an early age Buliwyf was taught the arts of battle and killing by his mother and brothers while his father went raiding with some of the other men of the village. As he grew older Buliwyf started to make a name for himself in battle and grew renowned for his fearlessness in battle as well as his remarkable number of successful raids. Despite his many successes when raiding Buliwyf never took any Thralls (slaves), he sees taking away someone's freedom as the most heinous crime imaginable. Loki's takeover enraged Buliwyf, he has taken away the freedom of both mortals and gods and will not go unpunished for his crimes.

@Eachiunn: Though bear in mind that his ROAR OF GIANTS! will be more like a stagger than a stun or anything like that, since it's his weakest shout.

Fair enough, I'll be sure to edit that.

So that's what, five approved characters? Will we be able to start soon?

Exist, pursued by bear

Name: Åshild Geirleifrdottir
Age: 32
Sex: Female
Power Ballad: Windrider.
Appearance: From the north.
Personality: Åshild is serious and a hard worker, being a trusty captain and a powerful warrior. But that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to have fun; her favourite past-times involve drinking and gambling, preferably in games involving tests of strength or throwing stuff. She's determined to stop Loki and free those under his thrall or die trying.
Patron: Njord.

• Stats:
  • Muscles: A
  • Machoness: B
  • Movement: C
  • MADNESS: E
  • Magicks: D

• Spirit Axe: Malstrøm, a one-handed war-axe of dark metal and wood.
  • Spirit Axe Ability: A raging sphere of water forms around the blade, and can drill through solid objects if given enough time. Devastates armour and shields.

• SHOUTS:
  • E: PUST - Does not have to breathe for a solid amount of time, and seals her air intake. Very useful for travelling underwater or defending against poisonous fumes and gases.

• Spells:
  • E: Vind - A powerful wind starts to blow, and Åshild can control its temperature from pleasant to freezing and the strength up to that of a storm's gale.
  • D: Storm - A storm starts brewing, sending down torrents of rain and the odd thunderbolt. However, the area close to Åshild is dry and untouched. Especially devastating at sea.

• Weapons:
  • E: A set of throwing knives.
  • D: A pair of heavy harpoons, long enough to pierce a shark.
  • C: A wooden shield reinforced with steel, which can be strapped to her left arm and thus used together with her A weapon or used normally with the Malstrøm.
  • B: An atgeir, a long spear with a blade for cutting.
  • A: A large longaxe that Åshild wields with two hands.

History: Åshild hails from a peaceful fishing village on an island off the north-western coast. The daughter of a fisherman, Åshild has spent many years of her life at sea. Brought up to be strong and a hard worker, she would go fishing with her father and pull nets with the men. When her father succumbed to sickness one dreadful winter, Åshild pledged herself to take over his ship as captain and feed her family and the village. But it could all have ended in tragedy, as her fishing village was early on attacked by a small group of Loki's followers. They struck while Åshild was out fishing, and enslaved all the peaceful inhabitants to take them away. But when the ship returned and the crew realized what had happened, their reaction was swift and brutal. They hunted down the attackers before they could get to far, and slaughtered them in the night, freeing their loved ones from Loki's grasp. This was what spurred Åshild to go out into the world and fight the Loki and the frost giants.

Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!

@Lemurian: Just keep in mind that her spells will be pretty localized, and won't affect a really huge area, especially since she's not focused on magicks. But nice SHOUT, I had some ideas for underwater stuff but wasn't sure if I'd be able to use it if no one could access it.

I'll start it tomorrow. For now, here's a discussion thread where I put some info and stuff.

Styg, if that friend of yours that you mentioned is still interested, signups are never going to be closed, but if they want to get in from the beginning you might want to poke them.

I've been poking, he's busy with finals. He won't be able to submit before we start.

Flesh is a design flaw.

Cool. If they are still interested down the line, it's no trouble to add new characters.

Speaking of which, we are live.

I'm going to change the Wolf Form's physical description to match Xarok's theme a bit better. Basically just switching him to an arctic wolf.

Flesh is a design flaw.
