Gender: Male Personality: Chaotic Neutral - Ragthu'l is not one to abide by rules and follow in the stright line of a warband, He prefers to take his own path and do what he feels necessary, Bold and not unwilling to back down from fights he may find himself in more trouble then he anticipates rather often. Known Languages: English, Ancient tongue, and Gelrathian Height: Six feet two inches. Appearance: Being of Gelrathian blood, Ragthu'l has a human-like structure to his body. If someone were to describe him at first glance they may make note of his slender body, Metallic skin tone, and muscular structure. Ragthu'l has a grey tint to his skin strictly due to the titanium alloy that his outer surface is comprised of. Ragthu'l has the exact same structure as you would see on a muscular male human, However his appearance is closer to an insects carapace then actual smooth skin. Although Ragthu'l may appear human in shape and form, There are a few non skin related differences. Ragthu'l has no nose and breathes through several venting sacks hidden under the carpace of his body, His teeth are razor sharp and his mouth secretes a natural acid that allows him to digest meals quickly. Gelrathians also have pointed fingers that represent were their claws pop out of, however their hands look rather human. Basic Abilities/Skills: Warrior of the Clan - Ragthu'l has been trained in the ancient ways of his people's combat, Comprised of close quarters hand to hand fighting and agile movements. Upon receiving this training he is also capable of quick reactive thoughts and is much more observant during combat. Galrathian Male - All Galrathian Males are capable of shattering stone and raw alloy with their claws, They may also leap up to sixteen feet if using all four limbs. Bestial Claw - Ragthu'l may erect claws from his fingertips made from the same alloy that his body is comprised of, These claws naturally secrete a toxic poison that will almost immediately begin causing blurred vision and blindness in weaker opponents. Primordial Spikes - Ragthu'l may launch needle sized spikes from any point on his body, These spikes have a short to medium range. After launching these spikes from his body, Ragthu'l will be more susceptible to damage in that location. Light alloy - Titanium is a light and flexible metal, This allows Ragthu'l to move quickly and maintain a tough exterior. Advanced Abilities/Magic: (Ragthu'l is only capable using his own physical energy to enhance himself) Energetic Warrior - Ragthu'l has immense energy reserves.This allows him to remain in combat for long periods of time, However if he begins using his abilities extensively he may run out of energy in dragged out fights. Regenerative exoskeleton - Ragthu'l may exert his energy into regenerating his Primordial spikes and damaged external carapace, However this will leave him physically drained if damage is extensive. Hardened Exterior - Ragthu'l may concentrate his energy into his body, Hardening his outer metal carapace but slowing his movement. Nature's Strike - Ragthu'l may focus his energy into his arms and legs, Enhancing his movement and striking force. Prolonged focus in his abilities will leave him physically drained. Strengths: - Fire and water magic are less effective against Ragthu'l and his metal exterior. - Close quarters combat is his specialty - Prolonged fights allow him to tire his opponent until exhaustion sets in. - Bladed weapons are easier to deflect off of his carapace Weaknesses: - Blunt weapons may internally damage Ragthu'l - Concussive blasts and piercing weapons will penetrate his armor, causing internal damage. - Long range combat leaves Ragthu'l unable to strike back. Race lore: Gelrathians have always stayed hidden from the world, They have formed a collective tribe known as the hive. This hive is a series of large powerful clans that co exist within large hand carved cave systems deep within the soil. These creatures are warlike in nature and often hold tournaments to test each clan's right to be within the collective hive, If one clan loses three fights in a row they are kicked to the side and a new clan is chosen to take its place. Although the hive is the grand example of the Gelrathian race, There are many smaller clans that keep to themselves on the outskirts of the hives owned land. Every so often one or a few young warriors choose to leave the hive and its clans in order to venture forth into the world above, None dare to choose to return. Character Biography: Ragthu'l was born into a small clan of Gelrathians known as the Kelruth. This clan was well known for its quality warriors but never once decided to lay claim to the hive and its war games. Upon ageing three times slower then humans and living for up to three hundred years, Gelrathians are capable of learning combat much more effectively. Ragthu'l was taught the ways of the palm, Claw, and energy. This technique of fighting is unique to the clan he is born within and Ragthu'l was more then ready to learn. Once Ragthu'l had mastered his skills, He awaited his chance to fight for his clan at the hive collective. Several years passed and still he waited, However he began to realize that his clan may be strong but their will to fight was weak. Upon deciding to leave his clan, he made the long journey to the surface.

Roleplays Desert Planet, Greah. Planet Greah Size: 31,855 Kilometres - Exactly five times larger then earth.
Description: Planet Greah is purely a desert planet, Sand and lethal creatures litter the surface, Under this surface is a series of mysterious naturally occurring caves. These caves house the only water sources on the planet and often lead miles into the planet. Human settlements are often found within these caves, powered by solar panels that stretch through the earth and lead to the surface.
Human Settlement status: Many settlements have fallen into poverty and suffering, The military has taken refuge within a floating city and left civilians to fend for themselves, causing many populaces to resort to violence and raiding of other smaller settlements. Known Factions Military factions Southern Alliance Force: Also known as S.A.F This military force is as its named, stationed in the Southern portion of the planet. This military operates covertly, and is considered to be stationed within a well hidden cave matrix, not yet mapped by human hands.
Northern Collaborative Forces: Also known as N.C.F, These military forces are not as highly trained as the S.A.F. The military forces of the N.C.F are well known to exploit civilians and take what they want when they want it, These military forces are also known for their flying base of operations. This flying fortress is powered by massive wind generators that take their power from an intricate power source located within the centre of the base. This Military force is also rather hard to locate, as their base is constantly moving under the sun to maintain power.United Militia forces Wyvern Corp: A small mercenary corporation, These individuals often work for the military groups when they don't want to risk their own men in open fights, Their prowess is well known as destructive and ruthless. The base of operation of these individuals is unknown, But agents within medium to large settlements take jobs as well as gather information for the Corporation, making them easy to get a hold of.
Civilian Populace: Though the civilians of the planet are not essentially an armed force, They do inhabit the planet and count as a threat to any and all factions. If local uprisings were to occur against factions such as Wyvern Corp and the military, It would cause significant problems for everyone involved. Though this remains a fact, Many settlements do indeed act out against the militarized forces, and in rare cases hire mercenaries to defend them from harm. Civilians are often lightly armed, And usually carry a small pocket knife or weapon of some kind that is well hidden.Plot Time Line 4638 - First human colony on planet Greah.
4654 - Colony's have spread across the centre of the planet, the only inhabitable section due to the two suns orbiting the top and bottom sections of the planet.
4703 - S.A.F and N.C.F Separate and form into different military groups, Land disputes ensue.
4704 - Full blown war between S.A.F, The civilian populace, and N.C.F troopers.
4706 - Civilian populace subdued, N.C.F now controls northern Greah, S.A.F Controls southern Greah.
4716 - Small Turf wars between the S.A.F and the N.C.F have begun to increase in consistency, Naturally the civilian populace has become concerned. Wyvern Corp is founded and has been growing in numbers and profit.
4720 - Turf wars continue to escalate into full gun fights, light military vehicles and assassination are now reported in use.
4722 - N.C.F declare war on the S.A.F, Local civilian populace begin preparing to defend themselves against incoming threats.
4729 present day - Wyvern company is fully employed by the S.A.F, Civilian populace numbers are dwindling and over 90% of non military forces are considered dead or missing due to unforeseen casualties, no end in sight for the war.
You are a survivor of the Current war, Your choices may directly reflect how the war will end. Some may choose to avoid conflict, others may join the military and destroy one another. The choice is left to you, May you choose wisely in this war filled world.Skeleton Note - You may only have one primary and one secondary weapon, If you have a rifle as a primary and a knife as a secondary, you cant have another secondary in the range category or another melee in the melee category.

Really good advice, from a fellow roleplayer. The main thing I do when I write is think about how novels are written and the little details about scenery, the characters involved, and so on. I try to put myself in my character's shoes, so to speak, and if I think they'd do something in particular in that environment, I'd make note of it. If there's other player characters in the scene or people who have been noted, I'd likely have my character have an opinion about what they're doing or what they said, along with reactions. Let's just use a quick example from the top of my head. Let's say the setting is a medieval tavern, there's two other player characters in the room, one your character hasn't met yet (but doesn't like the looks of), and one your character knows (whom your character thinks draws too much attention to herself). A free-quality post would be something along the lines of; Erin sat in a booth behind a mug of ale watching Serah dance on a table with lots of people watching. She also noticed a man sitting at the bar who had a darkness to him. She did not trust the look of him. Gets the points across, but it's pretty easy to flesh out for Casual standards! The Crossroads Tavern was a lively place, coming to life as the evening hours set upon the town. Erin was weary from her travels, and gratefully found herself an unoccupied booth with plush leather bound seats and a wide old oak table that had seen endless use from countless patrons over the years. As she waited for the bartender to bring her a tankard of cool ale, she recounted the adventure she had earlier in the day with Serah, her new companion whom also sought the same relic that could save the Kingdom, although she suspected the elven ranger had different motives than her. It didn't take long to take note of where Serah was located, as she was dancing atop an ale-soaked table singing a rowdy tavern song with her arm draped around a man who danced and sang with her to a chorus of cheers and rhythmic clapping. Erin scowled; they were supposed to be keeping a low profile in Ravensburg, especially since their encounter with Travus the bounty hunter the day prior. They had barely lost him in the forest, and who knew where he was now. The Dark Wizard had hired the brutish man to stop them from their quest, and Erin was resolved not to let that happen. Too much was at stake. Contrasting to Serah's bombastic behaviour, a dark cloaked man sat at the bar, his features concealed by the hood of his well-warn travel cloak. No one sat near him, and his head never turned as he sat, face shrouded in shadow, with the tankard before him occasionally being lifted. It was the only movement the man made, and something about him sent a shiver down her spine. There was nothing warm or inviting about him; his stillness was an uninviting aura she could not ignore. There was something predatory and dangerous to the man, like he was laying in wait for some reason she could not quite grasp. Her nervous gaze glanced to Serah and back to the man. If the man was working with Travus, then Serah was putting them both at risk. Erin shook her head as the bartender finally brought out her drink. She was just being paranoid, wasn't she? Even with a little bit of known information or hard points, you can bring a lot of life to a setting and your character with a little bit of imagination and what your character would have known from the story, events she encountered, and understanding your character's personality and mentality. For the example I wrote out, I had figured that if they're setting into a tavern, it likely followed a section of the game that was a bit of an action-packed adventure, so she'd be tired and happy to get off the road. I decided that Erin was a more reserved person who preferred to keep to herself and only really associate with her companions, given how dangerous her adventure was, so she decided to find somewhere that she could enjoy her privacy and keep an eye on things, especially since her companion Serah (a player character with an obviously conflicting personality) and her had survived an encounter with another player controlled character who happens to be an antagonist in this role play and working for the big bad guy, the Dark Wizard. So I made a note to have her reflect on these facts and why Serah's free-spirited behaviour was making her uneasy. I also made up some details of their encounter with Travus for this setting, which related to an event where their characters had encountered the other player's character and what they did to resolve it. I also wanted to get the point across that Erin is dutiful to the main quest of the RP, so the purpose of Serah's and her travels is a serious one that isn't far from her mind. The man with the cloak, yet another player character, is someone she doesn't know, and given her mistrust of strangers and her own personality, she's erring on the side of caution and creating a story in her head about this man with perceptions that may or may not be accurate. The player knows that this character is a demon hunter with a good heart who is following a creed and set of ethos that accounts to his rather stoic and unnervingly steady disposition from the character sheet, but the character does not know this. She assumes the worst, and because of how Serah is behaving, she immediately is on edge about anyone who looks dark and seedy, so she immediately entertains the idea of the man being a spy for partner for Travus, or someone of equal terribleness. As for the setting itself, I just think of what I imagine a typical medieval fantasy tavern would look like. Lots of old wood surfaces, rowdy behaviour, drunk people, metal tankards, I took some liberty with the booth having leather seats, and vollah. Remember, people can't read your mind, so anything you can do to hint at what you're imagining will help people get on the same page as you and help flesh out the scene in a constant manner. I hope that helps illustrate some good points that makes sense to you, because it's not hard to take a few extra minutes to come up with a detailed and entertaining post. Remember, on Casual, you're not rushing to get more than a post or two in a day for the most part (and that's being generous; a lot of casual games have a few days between posts at times), so focus on quality instead of just getting something out rushed. Read it over, see how it sits with you and ask yourself if you got everything you wanted to across and if maybe there was any details you might have overlooked. It may look intimidating, but don't be discouraged! It'll come quite easily with a bit of experience and practice. - Dervish, roleplayers guild.
