From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
My name is TerminusEst13 on the forums, and @TerminusEst13 in-game.
I'm a bitter, cranky misanthrope who is not a good socializer. Not much more that needs to be said.
None of my characters really have overtly long storylines or complex development or sudden twists in their being because I don't know nor play with a lot of people...and I must admit I rather like it that way. Aside from the D.F.B. Crew, I haven't met a lot of people whom I enjoy being with, and I absolutely abhor most of the supposed "celebrities" on Virtue.
I subscribe to the exact same philosophy that Ascendant uses when creating characters--any character, no matter how complex or deep, should be able to be summed up in a single sentence. He gave it the term "elevator pitch", which I'm fond of, though I use the term "gimmick". If a character's gimmick is longer than a sentence or two, they're too complex; characters at first sight should be simple, deeper upon further knowledge. Their gimmick, for the most part, should define what they are--thus, fits more with the wrestling connotation of the term rather than "a novelty just for the heck of it".
But, well, without further ado...these are my chars:
Steelgeist - Robot programmed and equipped to search out, contain, and combat the supernatural.
Jarrod Crosswell - Constantly-depressed and dismal pyromaniac. (Cheer up, emo kid)
Synaesthete - Not all there, but her mind picks up the slack.
Anonysmo Dragon - Fire/Regen Scrapper - World-travelling luchador who sweats, breathes, and bleeds justice, and has trained every day of his life since his birth for fighting.
Argorath - Elec/Energy Brute - A Taninim hailing from Kihennos, the Water Hell, and takes after a shark, a humanoid, and a jellyfish without being explicitly either.
Danesti - DB/Inv Scrapper - Lolikaze highschool schoolgirl, leader of a brutal gang called The Prisoners. People tend to be creeped out by her.
Denryuu - EM/Elec Brute - Ninja assassin turned electric ninja assassin. Funny what a powered generator strapped to some armor can do.
Guilder - Claws/Nin Stalker - Phantom thief out for just money and herself. Nothing and nobody else matters. It's all in the glitter of gold.
Henteko Shinzui - Kat/SR Scrapper - Pacifist clinical psychologist who is the latest in line to inherit a sure-kill assassin's blade fighting style. Doesn't like to kill. There's a bit of a problem, here.
Inmate 27 - AR/??? Blaster - Concept in progress.
Kairaishi - Nin/TA Mastermind - Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Kind Man - Night Widow - He is so happy to meat you.
Mondlicht - Bane Spider - Last I checked, cleaning didn't require military-grade rifles and guns of all kind. But then again, I'm not a maid.
Laevinus - BS/Shield Scrapper - Because there is duty to be done, and by my honor I will see it through to the end.
Redentore - Rad/Dark Corruptor - Archmage golem designed to work as an enforcer of the church, fell into an Objectivist crowd instead and took up studying villainy and alchemy.
Schmarotzer - Kin/Psi Defender - Escaped supersoldier Nazi project from World War II. Absolutely traumatized. Got over it, cheerful and chipper now.
Scordatura - MA/SR Scrapper - Currently being reworked and retooled. Made her waaay early before I had any idea what toku really was.
Varkonyi - Peacebringer - Beautiful lady fond of cute men, but moreso in gambling, card games, dice games, and risks of all kinds. A thrillseeker from head to toe.
Virelai - Ice/SS Tanker - Angry and bitter bounty huntress, has no qualms about using as much force as possible.
Wence - Fire/EM Blaster - King of the pumpkins, a brash and impatient young man clearly unfit for the throne, but damn it his people deserve to live well.
Xiu Juan - DM/Will Scrapper - Hopping ninja chinese boxing heroine zombie. A jiang-shi that's neither evil nor unintelligible--people that know mythology should find something wrong with this.
CHAR IDEAS I WISH I HAD:
Clock/watch-themed char, Egyptian-themed char, a Wild-West-themed char, a walking and fighting mannequin, a mirror-themed char, and a chess-themed char.
