Tontherirsayage

[Tontherirsayage]

Name: Tontherirsayage

Otherwise known as...: He doesn't really care, as long as it's part of his name and not some idiotic nickname. (His words, not mine)

Age: 153

Race: Tarin (If you want an explaination, PM me. I love to talk about my creations)

Physical Description: Ton (As I call him, since I hate writing Tontherirsayage about as much as anyone else would) stands at about seven feet three inches, a rather average height for most Tarin. He's thin, almost skeletally so, and has scars tracing all over his body. The largest are one that crosses from his left hip to his right, curving slightly upward, but not extending to his back, and a second one that traces down his right tricep. His skin is slightly tanned. He looks mostly humanoid, other than the two, foot long, pointed ears (almost like a bunny's, but don't say that to him) that stick out of the top of his head. They can lay down flat when he wants them to, and he often will, tucking them into his short, dark brown hair that sticks out in every which direction that hair can possibly go, and reaches just to the collar line of the average t-shirt. (He doesn't wear t-shirts, but it's a modern comparison that most people would be able to understand). His fingernails come to points like claws, and he has a (hairless) tail that stretches to about ten feet long. (When he stretches it out, which he rarely does) his eyes are all black, except for a golden iris. A little creepy.

As for what he wears, he is a fan of 'the shiny', so his ears are pierced in several places and he wears bracelets on his tail. (Very tight ones, so they don't fall off.) He also wears loose bracelets on his wrists and three to four necklaces, depending on his mood right then. A gold circlet traces his head. For obvious reasons, he jingles when he moves. Other than the jewelry, he wears a black, leather vest with nothing underneath and long black cloth pants. He doesn't wear shoes. Covering all of this is a cloak of varying color (it doesn't change color, he changes cloaks). All of his clothes are cut and torn in several places, and much in need of repair.

A big thing that defines him, since most of his identifying features are covered, is his hands. He has two identical tattoos on his hands that signify a curse that a wizard placed on him when he was younger (by like, fifty years. See weaknesses for more info)

Possessions: Besides the essentials, Ton has some items that he takes care of like a parent would a child. For example, he has a rock collection, not a very big one, but one being enough to be decent sized. It holds very few gems, and mostly basic rocks, but he loves it all the same. He's been keeping all them safe and their story is actually rather silly, thought I will consent to mention it in the history. Other than that, and the bag that he carries them in, they are all he has.

Strengths and Weaknesses: Ton is fast. He can move at speeds up to ten miles an hour with ease. This is what he mainly uses when fighting, utilizing his sharp claws and his grippy tail to make his attacks effective. He can dodge most attacks, except a magic attack or one that he doesn't see coming. These he, for obvious reasons, can't dodge. Also, once he is hit, he tends to either run for his life or cry, which ever will keep him alive. He’s kind of a wimp. (It doesn’t matter how hard the hit is. A ten year old could hit him and he’d still cower or run.) Another thing, if someone spares his life, he cannot kill them. He may not feel obligated to work for them, but he can’t bring himself to kill them. (Hurting them, he can still do.)
His tattoos (the ones on his hands) are also a big weakness. They prevent him from using any type of magic, even if it is placed on him, unless that magic is meant to hurt him. Further information in the history.

Secret Power: Currently, he has one. Since I don’t know how to inform the staff that I want one, I can’t say that it will stay. However, if someone could tell me, I could get it verified and then it could either be removed or kept. Depending.

History: (My favorite part!) Tontherirsayage was born to an unfortunately nearly extinct race named the Tarin. His parents, who acted as human gypsies, always told him of a place they called Carodreiffel, the paradise for the Tarin. Whether this place exists or not, Ton never knew. For, although his parents always promised that they would get there, they were unable to because they were hunted and murdered by a man who called himself “Sage”. Ton doesn’t know where the man is now, or what really happened all those years ago, but he knows that his parents aren’t here anymore, and that they were killed by this man.

From there, Ton began to travel the world in search of this mystical paradise that his parents claimed existed. He struggled to be useful in different ways to earn money, and found that he was best at using trickery to fool people into paying him for things. Most of the time, it was through his magic that he did this, and he swindled many people with some of the most basic spells. Since he had never had any formal training, basic was all he had. Eventually, however, he accidentally swindled a magician, something that he had avoided doing because they were the most likely to detect his magic, and the magician cursed him, tattooing the curse on his hands so that any magician could see that he was a swindler and a vermin. The magician promised to remove the curse once Ton had proven that he could be good by five years of service to that magician. After four years of working, the magician passed away, and Ton has since been looking for someone who could discover a way to remove the curse on his hands, mostly so he could begin swindling again. Of course, this proved a problem since everyone Ton went to believed that he would swindle again, didn’t believe him that the magician said he would take it off, and refuse.

it was during the time of his traveling that he gathered his rocks. These rocks came from a certain plain far off to the east, though he wasn't quite sure where it was. All he remembers is that he woke up in the middle of nowhere with a young girl helping to recouperate him. This girl, whose name was Saddi, enede up showing him a place that was full of all of those roks and they collected them together, working to get all of the kinds of rocks that were there. The girl vanishedone night, and Ton hasn't seen her since, but he loved her as he would love a little sister.

Now, Ton has traveled to Marn, hoping that perhaps there he would find some help. Because of the magic law, he figures that there will be a magician who is working against the law, thus a villain like him, who would be willing to remove the curse off a fellow villain like himself, perhaps in exchange for something. And after a long time with this curse, Ton is ready to do pretty much anything.

Hello and welcome to Thar. Thank you for submitting a character.

Now to answer your questions, first, I would like for you to give me some sort of writeup on this new race of yours. I want to get a better idea of what this race looks like, where they come from, any sort of unique qualities they might have, as well as any other information you fill is necessary. You can put this in the World Development section. http://www.tharshaddin.com/rp/viewforum.php?f=40 Please put [RACE] in the title.

As far as a secret power goes, you can send me a PM with this secret power and I will make a topic in the hidden admin section where the other members of the staff can view and approve this power but the average member will not be able to see it. Now just a word about secret powers, we like to approve secrets that we find to be compelling and lead to some sort of interesting and unexpected plot twists. The type of secrets we don't/won't approve are the ones that allow somebody to have some super powerful power that they can pull out without warning to hurt/kill/kick the asses of other characters.

(PS: you never included the rock collection story like you said you would. )

[Tontherirsayage]

Eh?! I forgot the rock collections story!? Crappy I did.

[Saruna]

Approved

Please though, if you write anything in Thar and take it elsewhere, kindly edit out any Thar specific stuff. Also, if he does get the curse removed we'll need to edit his strengths to include the magic he is capable of performing.
