Post Interesting Facts About Your Characters
Are there any interesting facts you'd like to share about your characters such as how they were thought up? I'd like to share some.

Natagath:

I got the idea for Natagath's armored suit after playing Bioshock 2. That's where the idea of having his weapons attached directly to his suit came from.

When I first started writing Natagath's profile, originally his dragon was dead and he was just Galbatorix's slave. Then I decided that by having his dragon still being alive, that would at least give him something to live for.

After being freed from his armor, the only parts that Natagath kept were the crossbow and the poison spraying device.


Violeta:

Like I said above, originally she wasn't even going to be in the RPs because she was dead. When I changed my mind about that I knew I was going to have to make a profile for her because some day she and Natagath would be reunited.

When I started working on Violeta's profile, she was just going to be just a regular firebreathing dragon. I got the idea to make her a lightning dragon while I was working on a project for one of my electrical classes at school.

Violeta's fur is actually made up of modified scales that act as conductors for her shock defense. If the fur was ever shaved off, it would just regrow in a few days.

Violeta's can't use her healing ability on herself, only on others. That is why she nearly bled to death when a ra'zac speared her.

Violeta's shock defense ability is based on that is an electric eel except. The strength of the electric shock can range from a harmless tingle to a fatal 50,000 volt jolt of electricity.

Violeta's poisonous bite can kill a creature larger than herself in mere minutes, as shown in a flashback in one RP.

Violeta's venomous bite comes from venom glands like a gila monster, rather than that of a Komodo dragon, whose toxic bite comes from bacteria in its saliva. Violeta has venom glands directly behind the teeth on her upper jaw. When she bites, the venom travels down grooves on the back of her upper teeth and down into the wound. It is very deadly and will dissolve flesh around the wound on contact. She can also dry bite, meaning that she can bite without envenoming her target.


Hurricane:

In a fanfic I wrote a while back, Hurricane was actually Violeta's son. They are not related in the RPs though and Violeta has no offspring (yet).


Evan:

I drew inspirations for this character from several historical figures including Jim Bridger, Davy Crockett, and Jim Bowie, as well as my own imagination.

Fort Trenton is based on Fort Vancouver, a real life frontier fort on the banks of the Columbia River in present-day Washington State. Below is a picture. (The pictures came from The Oregon Trail pc game.)

Image

The white house in the middle would be Evan's, minus the cannons.

The trading post.

Evan has a pet bison because I wanted to give him something a little out of the ordinary.

Post Re: Interesting Facts About Your Characters
Deviandar is based soley off of me. His hair, nac to impersonate people, to watch and learn, and self-kept, hidden personality are traits that I share.

In his past, Deviandar, or also known as brisineo, has had 3 visitors (Before the RPGs) An injured soldier from a division unknown to him. (Actually it was one of the Varden's first warriors under Brom's leadership) Then a run away dwarf, who taught bris much about the culture of the dwarves before leaving. And finally a band of slave traders, magicians, and brigands, who found Vedrian first, then Deviandar, which they were successful to capture. Though, to their misfortune, Brisineo transformed in front of their eyes. Their charred remains are now scattered throughout the area. :lol:

Vedrian is based off of. . . Well you know already if you know me.
And I've gotten quite prominent around here to be certain.

Bris' ability to transform into a half-human, half-dragon, is based off of my dreams. Ever since an extremely vivid dream, where I turn into a draconian like Deviandar, I see myself in my dreams in that form. Though, I put the ferocity and bloodthirsty quality as weaknesses to add on to the character to make him more interesting, and to give him a better story.

My character Raven looks like me, but her dragon Oceanis has my personality.

Tobias, the character I just made, has a scar by his left eye. My brother was the inspiration for that. He has the same scar by the same eye, it's just a line about an inch long on the outside corner of his eye, barely touching his eye.

How did he get it you ask? It's actually a rather fascinating story.

Frankly, my mom almost died giving birth to D****. The doc gave her too much anesthesia (which she's allergic to, but they didn't know that) and she started having seizures. They had to do an emergency c-section and in the process the scalpel slipped and cut my brother. When I said it barely touches his eye, I mean it. You can't even measure how close it came to stabbing his eyeball by just looking at it. :shock: My mom was ok, btw, but she had sort of the same issues with me.

Fletcher:
He is names after the Fletcher class destroyers of WWII.



Hurricane: He is nearly indestructible in his spirit form. Theoretically, he could even survive in the vacuum of space in his spirit form (not that it will ever happen.)

Calem is based off of my younger brother. Yes, he's a dark tan while I'm a pale white in skin tone.

Tyran is actually a character in my Book 4 fanfiction. However, he's not demonic, and he's under Galbatorix. Though he really did a number on Thorn. . . :?

I have seen Medalanim in a dream once. Standing over the ruined city of Doru Araeba. It inspired her charry page.

Post Re: Interesting Facts About Your Characters
My character Reb is alot like me. Although Im much sweeter than her lol, and not quite as skinny as her lol. I named her after me, and her horse is the kind of horse I've dreamt of forever lol. I also modeled her height after me, and her hair style. The rest about her is her own :)

After I came up with the idea that is Rok, I went to a friend's house and we watched Dragonheart. Ever since then, whenever I've written him saying something, it comes out in Sean Connery's voice. XD

Fletcher:

He was my first gryphon character

He is currently my favorite character to RP with.

I based Fletcher's physical appearance on the gryphons from the Narnia movies.
Image

Fletcher is my first character to become a parent. Tas is his son and Vena is his daughter. (Hurricane doesn't count as a parent because none of his eggs hatched)

I gave him telekinetic powers because there all kinds of fun ways to use that ability in an RP.



Tas:
He's also my fist character to be directly related to someone else's RP character. (Sevena is his mother and Vena is his sister and both are DS4's characters)

He is my only RP character at the moment who is a child. (I've got a teenage character on the way though.)

Agatha:

Her personality was inspired by Sofia Lamb from Bioshock 2 though it is not actually based on the character. When Agatha speaks, i imagine her having the same voice as Sofia Lamb.

Agatha's spring loaded knives are based on the ballistic knives used by the Soviet special forces.

Post Re: Interesting Facts About Your Characters
Niliki was originally meant for Reb but I felt that their charaters were better off as friends than romantic interests. Zantya wasn't actually planned. She was more of a twist to Reb than an actual character but her personality practically begged to become a character of her own.
