Heart of The Votan: A Defiance Roleplay

[Justice knight]

Ah so. Very. Tempted.
Ah [&@%!] it, I'll join, let me do a sheet.

[The SheoDovah]

Feel free to be Reaper's partner. Either you were in the same place as him or joined him during past year.

[Justice knight]

I think I might actually, could she be the sort of support partner though while he's the muscle.
She gets the work and fixes their gear while he gets the job done?

[The SheoDovah]

That would be interesting and i suspect Reaper would have trouble getting work by himself as i suspect people would try to rip him off or refuse to speak to him or even try to kill him as a result of him being a Bioman.

[Justice knight]

Yeah, I'll do that then- I'll sort out my sheet and post it when ready.

[The SheoDovah]

Okay. But if they travel together in the same vehicle, it will have to be Reaper's truck due to his hieght unless she doesn't mind him tearing off the roof of her vehicle to be able to get into it or they just follow each other.

[Justice knight]

Can be his truck, I really don't mind.
She'll just be the job getter and the techie, everything else can be his.

[The SheoDovah]

Okay. In exchange, he acts as her bodyguard when he is not out on a job. The damaged truck could be the reason why they came to the city.

[Justice knight]

Sure okay, I'll PM you when the sheet is done.

[The SheoDovah]

Okay. Will be interesting to see how it plays out and does provide a way for him to get turned on after being turned off. And yes, i'm fully aware how dirty that sounds.

[Baloth-Kul]

I will never be able to take your character seriously, Dovah, as I will always be reminded of Ulysses, his level of intelligence, and his taste in...partners.

[Justice knight]

Here we are, I think this is the quickest I've come up with a character sheet without any pre-thought put in before I start typing.

Hidden:

Name: Ellie Reeds
Race: Human
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Physical Appearance: Ellie has thick shoulder length natural red hair that is normally tied up at the back into a pony tail. Her eyes are a rich chocolate brown and her pale and slender face normally has patches of black dirt or oil on it.
Economic Status: Average, not rich but fast from poor- however most of the money goes towards supplies for repairing Reaper's stuff, what is left after that she keeps.
Skills(I have no set skills, just say what your character is good at and justify it without being too OP) Ellie is an incredible Engineer and Technician which she got taught from her father and learnt herself from repairing vehicles and weapons for Reaper.
Possessions: Ellie has a box of tools for the repair and maintenance of Reapers weapons and other equipment. Ellie normally wears a red overall over her jeans and grey T-shirt, she also has a satchel for junk or scrip and her father's pistol ( FRC Bull Rush .45). The young woman also owns a brown long coat.
Backstory(include your reason for coming to Defiance and if you have family or are alone): Ellie's mother left shortly after she was born, leaving her father- an EMC combat engineer- to raise her. However in 2037, Ellie's father was killed by the Volge while she was out collecting supplies. She came back and a seventeen year old Ellie took his tools and his gun from their repair shop before wandering. During those eight years alone, Ellie did many things to survive from simple fix and cleans to E-rep vehicle repairs, sometimes when times were their toughest she even resorted to the dangerous game of prostitution. But over the last year she came across a bio-man called Reaper and they have come to sort of an agreement where she helps him find jobs and repairs his equipment and in return she gets a cut, protection and is allowed to tag along with him.

Accepted, can you be a little more specific on her economic status?

[Justice knight]

Edited, hope it's okay.

[Hissien]

And now, it's perfect, thank you

[Justice knight]

Thanks for having me Hiss.

Hidden:

Name: Zatah Ventailo

Race: Irathient

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Physical Appearance: Platnum Blonde hair and blue eyes. Peach skin with white markings, has what appeare to be ‘wings’ from her eyes and a forehead center mark of a circle underneath an upside down half curvy arc, half a circle. She’s unusual in that she keeps neat tidy hair, a result of her upbringing. She also tends to wear slightly better clothes as for an Irathient she was forced to get a fashion sense. She's not a diva but she does dress better and more cordinated than most Irathients with their raver/biker look.

Spoiler:

Economic Status: Not rich but not poor, a good average of sorts.

Skills (I have no set skills, just say what your character is good at and justify it without being too OP) Skills are with the Pistol and Assault Rifle, as well as knives both for throwing, cutting, and hunting. Due to her history she also can make treadle sewing machines for scratch and can sew/pattern draft. She can also tan her own leather. Zatah can also kill/severely injure someone with needles, pins, awls and fabric weights.

Possessions: Motorcycle with covered trailer that contains the parts needed for treadle machine as well as garments to sell with humans and/or fellow Irathients from some sewing stuff. She has a single pistol and assault Rifle as well as ammo, some food and plenty of water and is capable of hunting.

Backstory(include your reason for coming to Defiance and if you have family or are alone): Zatah was born to an Irathient family who lived in Defiance. Her father was a miner while her mother was a small time agriculture grower, a small greenhouse of herbs, spices and the like for selling. It was happy times save for the tensions. At this time though and against all odds Zatah found a close friend in a human girl by the name of Ilene Ventailo whose parents worked in the textile Industry before the Arkfall. Ilene’s mother, Anna, was a high grade seamstress and designer that owned a wedding boutique while her husband, Jonathan, was a machine repair technician and also a builder of sewing machines and treadle sewing machines.

They wanted their daughter to take over the family business one day but Ilene was sickly and often got bullied even by her fellow humans. Zatah was the one friend to protect her from this. However one day the plague hit and all that ended. Zatah’s parents were both killed and Ilene was found shot, not killed by plague but by murder. It was Ilene’s own parents that killed Zatah’s parents, thinking that they had hurt Ilene. Ilene was found later, for she had been mistaken for a Irathient and killed in front of Zatah who ended up severely injuring the human man responsible for the deed.

Zatah, being a young girl, was dragged off and forcibly immunized by some other humans. However she was of the last batch and missed her chance to run off with survive adult Irathiants, who fled Defiance or died trying to fight/run. Because Zatah closely resembled their daughter, and because both had lost someone precious to them, the Ventailo’s ended up adopting Zatah as their own daughter. This however had its problems as the Ventailo’s wanted a little homely girl and Zatah wanted freedom, hunting and a bit on the adventures violent side. In fact Zatah’s punishment would often be building up new treadle machines only to break them down and build them again, as well as sewing, something she hates doing but see’s the benefits. Anna wanted Zatah to keep clean and taught the Irath how to do her own hair and keep it clean, a habbit still carried over to this day.

However Zatah had begun having nightmares, which had gotten worse over the years, episodes, hallucinations. It began to cause problems and form emotional rifts between her adoptive parents and Zatah herself. Around the time a rouge band of Spirit Riders rolled in ((not Sukar’s Spirit Riders, another group)) Zatah had become so restless that she was causing problems for customers alike. Not long after the spirit riders showed up a new plague emerged in this town that pretty much caused the same effects as in Defiance. Perhaps it was a blessing though because Zatah had seen an image of what looked like Anna and Jonathan killing Zatah’s parents. The humans and some of the other Votan Species, speficically the Casties, tried to herd and choral the Iraths to contain them in ‘quarantine’ however the Irath’s fought back to a point but ran, only to be corned by an angry mob and some EF residents. Zatah herself was immunized forcibly at young age but she was still treated as a plague bearing. The EF shot those who tried to escape or who fought but when a cure was made the EF let off to an extent. When the Spirit Riders were permitted to leave, Zatah went with them and joined with them, for the first time feeling so alive since she was a little girl.

However because of her history and the visions slowly becoming stronger, Zatah felt weak and like an outcast and wouldn’t tell her group of Riders about that. Instead she left them after about two years to become an Arc Hunter working alone. She was pretty successful at first, though one discovery in particular has lead her back to Defiance. The man who killed Ilene…for Zatah knew that somehow this man was alive and he was still at Defiance. Zatah then travelled to Defiance, alone save for her things and weapons. However her ‘episodes’ have only been getting worse and she feels maybe this place has someone whom she can talk to, even if this town is full of Shtako.

And for fun,

I have these links.

[Baloth-Kul]

I like it, but then, I'm not so fond of the whole touched-by-Irzu dealie. Super super rare. As you know, the only people to possess the visions are Irisa, and the yet comatose Sukar. But, ultimately, it's up to Hissien, of course.

He said I could because I asked. And she doesn't know this about herself and blames the shot the humans forced upon her when she was a child. She thinks it's a weakeness and her original group of raiders doesn't know this.

[Baloth-Kul]

Regardless, I like it. Just gotta wait for Hissien to add ya to the list and such, then.

[The SheoDovah]

It will be interesting to see what she thinks of a Bioman. Your character sounds very interesting Uno and i look forward to see what you do with her.

[Baloth-Kul]

For some reason, I seem to recall a statement, or at least, an implication, that Irathients don't like Biomen, because they're genetically altered. Seems about right, anyway.

[The SheoDovah]

Well, it be very interesting to see what happens if she bumps into Reaper. That said, it will be very interesting to see how everyone reacts to Reaper.

[unokitsune]

Thank you, you two. And Baloth is right, Zatah would think all Biomen are some kind of twisted artificial creation alteration.
