[Iliad]

Username: Marth.
Name: Sabine Fruhling.
Gender: Male.
Age: 19.
Race: Elf.
Class: Berserker.

Appearance: Despite being a berserker, he does not appear to possess the aptitude at first sight. He's slim and willowy, much like any other elf; however, he stands a few inches shorter than most, at about 5'10". He is averagely proportioned, save for the fact that his legs are a little long, but it's nothing strange. He has porcelain skin, without any blemishes - including scars, for this boy is very young and has yet to fight in a serious conflict.

Sabine's features are rather delicate and feminine; he has long, slightly-narrowed amber eyes and a small, straight nose, along with a rounded jawline instead of the angular sort typical of males. His ears, as with any other elf's, are pointed. His hair is straight, jet-black, and cut short; it's neatly layered and goes to his nape. His bangs are a little longer, though, and would cover his eyes if he didn't push them to one side.

He wears light leather armor; seeing as he's not muscled at all, heavy equipment would just weigh him down. Under this, he wears a white cotton shirt and dark pants, along with leather boots that come up to about mid-calf. He's had them for quite a while, and as a result they are very flexible and comfortable. He also wears a long, black jacket over this ensemble; it fastens in the front and comes down to almost his knees, the back splitting into tails. On his hands and covering part of his arms he wears rather elegant gauntlets, custom crafted and fitting to his fighting style.

Personality: Sabine is a very serious boy, especially for being such a young age; he is extremely driven and focused on any task that he may need to undertake. He rarely cracks jokes, and if he does then they're always puns. At least he has those, then.

Sabine may be focused on his own, but put him with other people and he's actually very lenient and patient; he also tends to have a long temper. He's easily irritated, but all that results in is him rolling his eyes... and that would be all. He doesn't think he's ever gotten really mad, but likely what it would take for him to would probably be a rash decision in a fight on the part of a comrade. He takes all of this really seriously, even if others play it off as a joke.

Generally, he is polite, speaking with a degree of formality that suggests distance. It doesn't really, though, in his mind. He was just raised speaking like that, and he sees no reason to change. As a result of this formal speaking pattern, he gets flustered rather easily at more uncouth jokes, and seems to be quite "pure" and clueless in that department.

He's fiercely dedicated and very loyal to his friends, but is also trusting to a fault. As long as he feels that a person is redeemable or has good traits, he'll trust them no matter their station or record... which usually doesn't go hand-in-hand with longevity. He tries.

History: Sabine grew up in Teban with his mother, father, and older brother named Faoir; he was raised in a rather formal, traditional household, which led to both he and his brother striving to be mages. From their youth, both of them seemed talented enough with their magic; however, as they grew, it became apparent that Faoir was much more naturally adept with magic. At that point, though, it was not yet apparent that Sabine's magical potential had almost reached its peak.

Both of them were accepted into the Mage College, but it was there that it quickly became apparent that Sabine had no more potential to tap into, and was stuck at an average level at best. Faoir, however, kept advancing onward. The sight of his brother's back as he gradually drew ahead was what served to galvanize Sabine back into action, and he turned to martial arts to make up for his discrepancy in magic.

A kind old professor of the college who had experience in fighting taught him the basics; he learned quickly, an intelligent study, and soon had mastered the basics. At this point, there was no point in staying at the college, for there was nothing left for him to learn there. He bid his brother farewell, visited Teban to tell his plans to his parents (who were not incredibly happy with his decision, but accepted it grudgingly anyway) and then left to travel.

A year later at nineteen years of age, Sabine had learned enough both about his magic and about his fighting style to combine the two; his strength was still lacking, but he could supplement that with his magic. He's still traveling, though he's recently noticed tensions rising.

Alignment: Neutral to good.
Crush: None.
Lover: None.
Other: He's best with both fire and storm magic, although less powerful than the usual.

(You're all accepted! I'll add you characters to the front page, and hopefully I'll be able to get my forms done soon.)

[Sirrusly]

I've finished my forms and the majority of the main page. Anyone have any suggestions on what else I should add?

[Padfootsmistress777]

I did have a question about necromancy:

I wasn't quite sure how necromancers actually practiced, do they tend to hang around cemeteries, or is there another way for them to get into contact with the dead?

[Sirrusly]

Oh, yeah. Sorry, I meant to answer but I forgot

Normally they are able to summon spirits in the midst of battle from a place that is not yet named, but a necromancer in a graveyard is no easy fight, since they have a bunch of corpses at their disposal. They don't need to be in a graveyard, but it certainly does help.

[Padfootsmistress777]

Oooh, ok :3 Good to know, thanks ^-^ So the spirits that are summoned, they wouldn't be actual corpses? Just...the remnants of the dead? (Sorry, just want to be a little clearer on things ^^;)

[Sirrusly]

They look kind of like corpses, yes. Since they need to be able to attack someone physically, it kind of bears resemblance to a skeleton or something.
However, if an actual dead body where to be reanimated, it'd be a corpse that can be used to fight. Thanks for asking, I'm always willing to clarify things

[Padfootsmistress777]

Ah, good to know, thank you I think I get it now, if I get anything wrong while RP-ing it just let me know! :3

[Sirrusly]

While we wait for maybe one more person to join in, is there any more questions or anything else we should discuss? I'm always open to suggestions for the main thread, too

[Fang]

Hey all! I'll be whipping up a few characters this weekend if that's alright? This looks great Sirrusly!
