Sorry I been away for a bit everyone, but from three hospital trips from a recurring and very persistant migrane, housework (Which I'm still doing trying to do as I type BTW) and the release of RE:ORC/ Saints Row 3 final DLC, ME3's Operation: Goliath, and a double xp weekend... Time has been kinda stretched very thin lately...
Sorry to hear about the migraines, MBS, those things suck royally. And I understand the temptation of those distractions as well. Thanks for checking in.
Regarding pictures, I found one I like, but my Paint skills aren't adequate to the task of removing the other person from the picture without leaving the edges jagged. Suppose I could just find a different one....
Depending on your computer, there may be a snipping tool that can crop it, but it's really okay if there are other characters in the picture. It's just so we can get an idea of Bator.
If you really wanted I could try and crop it down, I have access to Photoshop. Can't guarantee it'll be super clean depending on the image but it's better than paint.
Honk. It's hardasfuck to pretend I know my siblings when I uh, don't know shit about their personalities and stuff. :V
Therefore, I totally propose we try to into characterization within here, or something. Personalities, what we spent our time doing, pre-game history that others would know about, that sorta thing. ...Mostly personalities.
I'll start, though I'm probably not going over anything new here. My character concept was pretty well broadcast, hurr.
Princess Dubiel, the Bard! (GargantuaBlarg)
A sweet and noble girl, that doesn't care for yon political machinations and whatnot, and fucked off from that shit to ye theatre, where she sings and performs in plays and whatnot. Sheltered, as royalty that fritters time away being a thespian suggests. Well known shapeshifter, bard, wears a silly hat all the time.
Also, numbers! Conveniently organized into one place.
Vaelus - Proud, chip on his shoulder, cold towards Olin, very much cares for the Queen Eileen, not a fan of what he considers the "bastards" which is basically anyone not born from his same mother - with one notable exception, Jules, who was born from his mother's sister.
----------------------
Prince Jules, the Castellan of Amber - Treats Vaelus like is very own big brother, moreso than his actual brothers do. Dedicated to the Queen and to his home Shadow of Ulmf. A bit of a romantic. Perhaps a bit to idealistic.
Princess Wanda, Steward of Amber - Diplomat, workaholic, champion of democracy and civil rights. Jaded.
Prince Edric, Lord Marshal of Amber's Armies. Dour. Rigid. Cold. Your perfect soldier. Traditionalist.
Prince Gamon, Admiral of the North. Loud, Gregarious, Confident, Show-off, Trusting, Brave. Can't stand Siobhan.
Princess Siobhan, Admiral of the South. Dashing, Foolhardy, Calculating thrillseeker, Swashbuckler. Detests Gamon.
Princess Rhone, Warden of Arden. Reserved. Isolated. Naturalist. Wanderlust. Appreciates beauty. Very dismissive of those she doesn't know, but kind to the few she does.
Vivianna - Famed tactician, though never known to be any good at physical combat. Spent most of her time off who knows where with her Grandfather or conversing with the King's favourite Mistress. Whenever she wasn't off adventuring through the shadow's, she made a point to spend time with any of her siblings that were willing, playing games, running around shadows, whatever they were into. She has never been quiet about her love for her family and her disdain of death in general, and probably hasn't ever been vocal about disliking anyone in particular when it comes to her family.
Heh! Prince Even has both in spades.
An accomplished warrior and veteran of many conflicts in Shadow (but always on the front lines, never as a general in the war room), Even is a force to be reckoned with, particularly in close combat. He finds meaning on the battlefield, at the junction of life and death. Even is typically serious, but watch out for his sense of humor--it can be rather morbid, like that of a doctor's or that of someone who has otherwise seen much death. One thing he values above all is honesty; anything he perceives as trickery or backstabbing is not looked highly upon by him. While he understands battlefield tactics, it's still overridden by his idealistic nature, which explains his tendency towards straightforwardness.
Despite being your consummate soldier, Prince Even believes in change. He is not beyond replacing rulers or regimes by force if it is to serve what he perceives as a higher purpose. He is not particularly fond of the current Queen for very personal reasons.
Apologies for not posting for so long, I have had neither the time nor the will necessary to write anything. Now that things have settled somewhat, I should be good to go again.
Prince Bator - Aloof, distant, slow to anger. Treats his family (even Olin) with the respect accorded their position as royalty, if not the kinship warranted by their blood. Dismissive of the idea of democracy, as peasants know nothing of the Pattern. Mistrustful of the denizens of the Chaos planes, due to the many campaigns Olin waged against them. Believes that a King should behave properly and be forthright; as such, he has little taste for intrigue.
