Forbidden Temple of the Great Falls

[WolframTheGreen]

Hey, this is for Forbidden Temple of the Great Falls. Try and keep things consistent~

Name: Wolfram Hart
Age: 42
Height/Weight: 6'5"/ 220lb
Hair: Blond

One of many trained at the Temple, Wolfram was originally a Knight of the Temple tasked with working with the monks to maintain the artifacts and prevent the releasing of the dark creatures they contain. However, during one of his missions to retrieve a rumored artifact with the aid of several other knights and a monk, something went wrong. No one was killed and the artifact, the Dagger or Belmoth, a highly venomous blade that distorted those struck by it with agonizing flesh warping, struck Wolfram's arm in the retreival.
The arm itself is mostly fine, if having a bit of a mind of its own, but almost twenty years of monastic training with the monks of the Temple has given him both control over it as well as a hefty amount of studied knowledge on the various artifacts stored within the Temple.

 

[Mentlegen]

Name: Hoki
Age: 56
Height/Weight: 5'6/120 lb
hair: he's bald

Hoki was born in the temple, and trained with the many monks there. He finds great peace through cleaning, especially the simple sweeping motion of a broomstick, and has developed a unique fighting style using his wooden broom. As the unofficial chief custodian of the Temple, the place is now cleaner than it has ever been.

 

[Shadeslayer]

Name: Zato
Age: 70
Height/Weight: 5'8/138lb
Hair: gray

Zato is an older monk, blind from birth. While it may seem to the younger members that he was always there, he used to travel in his younger days, spreading their wisdom, and has considered going on another pilgrimage. He is usually found meditating or enjoying the spirits the temple produces, and is a fountain of wisdom for other members. Because he is blind, he has learned to get around quite well using a cane or his hands (though doing the latter has gotten him into awkward situations with the females). His cane also has a hidden sword blade, and he's an expert at using it, even in his old age.

 

[Traveller's Guide]

Name: Morr
Age: 41
Height: 7'1"
Hair: Completely hairless/any and all burnt off

A stern, hardened veteran of many battles, Morr has started his journey to perpetrate justice as he deems true. A widower, his child and wife died in the onslaught of those who would be deemed villains and monsters, taking all of his hopes and dreams for a better future, turning him into a bitter knight who still desperately tries to cling to a self-made code of honor, which, as he must realize, does not hold truth for him any longer, he has come to the Temple of the Great Falls to perhaps yet gain an answer to where his quest shall take him, for merely punishing anyone who perpetrated injustice could not be enough to justify one's existence.

 

[Arngeirr]

Name: Arngeirr
Age: 73
Height/Weight: 6'2/200lbs
Hair: black (but is shaved bald)

Arngeirr is a wizened old man, even amid the other monks. He preaches wisdom and the slowly-but-surely method of solving problems. He spends much of his time practicing meditation and various striking and grappling techniques. Arngeirr believes that one can only truly be at peace with one's self when they are in perfect harmony with their bodies and physical prowess. He is stern, but gentle and kind, and is not easy to anger.

 

[Brother Dowjin]

Name: Brother Dowjin

Age: 35

Description: A muscular and scarred man, middle aged, with white hair.

Bio: He hails from the eastern wastes, and upon hearing about the holy order of monks decided to protect them and the secrets they kept safe. Unlike many of the other monks, he actually uses weapons and armor, however because of this he is sometimes considered less pure than the others. He makes up for this by valiantly protecting the temple master with his life.

aims/goals: Protect the temple's secrets. Protect the temple master. Teach enlightenment to all who visit.

 

[Victus Sorn]

Name: Brother Vernasus.
Age: 38
Height/Weight: 6'5 and 220lbs
Hair: Shaved head.
Bio: Brother Vernasus was left at the doorsteps of the temple as a small child and knows nothing of life outside it's walls. He has found his calling at the Forbidden Temple as a simple beekeeper. He lives to protect the hive.

Hey, we switched over to monks monking monks for profiles. Can you copy and paste that there please?

 

[HeraldSong]

Name: Leonard
Age: 36
Height/Weight: 6'2" / prx. 235 lbs.
Hair: What's left is graying brown.

Wracked with disease and ailments, from a broken, unhealed knee, to Consumption, Leonard is a decaying husk of a man. Antisocial in part due to his poor state of health, he is none the less a kind person who will hobble to his post before the sun rises, and is almost always the last person on watch. He takes his role as guardian of the Monastary with the utmost severity, and spends most of his free-time in prayer, or fitful sleep.

Whatever is in his past is bad enough that sleep is fleeting, and without good rest he cannot fight off even the most basic of diseases, and it takes all of the Monks healing medicines to keep him from simply falling apart like a dried out mummy.

Leonard has a fully bandaged face treated with herbs and medicines that keep him from spreading his fetid sicknesses. Because of the constant, intensive care he receives, he is well versed in medicine, and can do basic first aid, no matter how primitive or ad-hoc it is.

Leonard is almost always bare-chested, his scars and tattoos of a distant life of military service on display, although his humble and stand-offish attitude make them anything but proud. He favors a Broadsword and Kite shield, and is just as dangerous with the shield as he is with a blade.

 

[John q. Monk]

Added it to my first post but just so people might notice it here it is again

Forgot to mention Father Seamus is Dead and a Ghost. sometimes he is in-phase some times he is not, He is also unaware of this. If the ghost part does not fit I will drop it just let me know. I just though playing a ghost priest coming to terms with his condition would be different/fun. And I think I just accidentally deleted my Char Bio

Take two

Father Seamus
Age 86 height 6' 1''
Slavers killed his love he killed slavers he returns to the temple after a 50 year journey is a ghost
(WIll spruce backup again latter)

 

[Swiftbeak]

Name: 'Swiftbeak'
Age: 28
Height/Weight: 4'8" at shoulder (length is 8'10", wingspan approx. 20 feet from tip-to-tip when fully extended and laid flat).
Hair (or more accurately, fur/feathers): Chestnut brown feathers with sandy brown fur.

Description: This strange chimera is a hybrid of eagle and lion; taloned forelimbs, feathered chest and head with a sharp, hooked beak, wings of tremendous size, and leonine hindquarters. Much of his body is hidden beneath the bulky coat of his feathers, but his rear half bears the wirey muscle one would expect of a big cat, and when he moves on the ground it is typically with a plodding and deliberate gait indicatve of great strength, but at a pace well at odds with his agile, speedy flight.

His beak is a faded grey color and his talons long, hooked and black; not being a natural creature it is hard to determine much from his appearance alone, as there is no contemporary to compare him to, but a lack of wounds and scars indicates this creature has not seen much combat. A tattered leather strap is wound around its mid-section, keeping a small satchel tucked securely beneath his right wing; the assembly is tight-fitting but haggered, clearly taken from something else rather than made specifically for this purpose, and the satchel itself is branded with a knightly symbol.

Bio: It calls itself 'Swiftbeak', and when questioned on this will only say "it's as fitting a name as any." It has rarely been seen, let alone spoken to, until recently, as a series of outposts leading to the Temple have seen its wings cast their shadow overhead. Strangely, it has made a point to fly over each of those outposts in turn, almost as if using them as a guide; this must surely be coincidence, for otherwise it would indicate some knowledge of the Guard.

It may be furtive, or simply not have had opportunity to expound on its history; certainly, few would be willing to sit down and talk with such a creature. Its like has not been seen before; its existance is unnatural, that much is certain, and for it to come to the Temple would surely be suicide for anything of demonic intent. What past it has will likely have to be taken straight from the gryphon's beak; there is no hearsay or record of its life to go upon, and it has only now set off for the Temple of the Great Falls.

(I know it's short, but I wanted to save some of the mystery for in-character. If you have any questions or concerns though, let me know; I've tried to give a few vague hints at his nature here, and hopefully they fall in line with what Wolfram and the players suggested. I'll wait for a thumbs-up before posting in the thread, at least!)
