1. Rance Greenthumb "The Crow"
Race: Cursed Human in the body of a scarecrow.
Age: Three hundred
Height: 6'7
Weight: 120
Physical Description: The Crow's body is constantly changing, but it is always in the form of a scarecrow, the form he was cursed to bear until he can break the enchantment. Generally though, he bears the form of a large scare crow made of straw and sticks with fully formed limps able to grip objects and move about with the ease of an athlete. He also wears the straw hat of a farmer and wields a large scythe. Where his eyes would be there are two glowing green orbs. He cannot speak so he silently walks around often accompanied by crows.
Strengths:
1. Immortal soul: The Crow's soul is trapped on this plane of existence and cannot pass on so if his body is destroyed his spirit will fly to the nearest scarecrow and take over it's body.
2. Animated Body: Crow never has to eat, sleep, or drink. He can never become ill or be affected by the weather unless it's at great extremes. He is a tireless cursed being.
3. Inhumane strength: His curse has some benefits, one of which is his strength which is twice as strong as the average man. This coupled with his age means he can weld his scythe with deadly efficiency.
4.Farmer: One of the few things Crow can remember about himself is that he used to be a good farmer. So to pass the time he often sets up gardens and works them far away from prying eyes.
Strengths I'm iffy about:
Control of Crows and Causing Fear ,even though a walking scarecrow is pretty scary in and of itself. Tell me what you think of these two powers.
Weakness's:
1. Unable to feel anything, but pain: The curse only allows Crow to feel pain and nothing else. He can't enjoy the gentle breeze or a hug. He can feel fire and blows though. This causes him endless sorrow since he can only see, hear, and feel pain. He can't taste or smell either.
2. Unable to communicate: Crow cannot speak, nor can he read or write so he has no why to communicate other than gestures and pointing. This often sends people into a panic once they meet him.
3.Fire: It's one of the few things hat will outright defeat Crow for a time. Any fool with a torch can light the poor soul up like a tender box destroying his body.
4. Unnatural aura: Being made of dark magic his mere presence drives most animals wild and often alerts shifters or magically gifted people to his presence. They are often not friendly.
5: Who am I: Other than a few scattered memories Crow has no idea who he once was. He only knows he used to be a man and was cursed by a witch.
6. Depression: He has been in a depression for hundreds of years and wants nothing more than to finally rest in piece.
More character idea's to come feel free to comment on crow, who is one my more interesting ideas. although one of the hardest to balance.
2. Sanae Galewin
Race: Spider Shifter
Age: 21 [Appears 17]
Height: 5'5
Weight: 116
Physical Description: Sanae is a petite sweet looking girl with blue eyes and long brown hair that she often wears in braids. Nothing about her appearance gives any indication that she is a shifter. She generally wears plain cloths with flowers she embroidered in herself to help make her cloths seem less plain. She has no piercings, scars, tattoos or birthmarks and rarely wears jewelry.
Strengths:
1. Shifter: At will Sanae can turn into a large venomous spider capable of delivering a paralyzing bite, climb up walls, and spin an incredibly strong web.
2. A talented tailor and weaver: Weaving comes naturally to her since she is a spider shifter and this was further enhanced by the fact her aunt who raised her was also a weaver and a tailor. She has practiced many long hours to become as good as she is now. While, she isn't a master her work will turn the occasional head.
3. Education: Her aunt made sure she had at least some education other than weaving and tailoring. Sanae knows basic history, grammar, math, how to read and write. Her favorite subject was science and the study of plants. She dreamed of being an herbalist, but she followed her aunt's wishes and stuck with what she had already been taught.
4. Resistance to ingested or injury poisons: Her shifter type makes her resistant to poisons, but not immune. It will take a larger amount of poison to affect her than it would a human of her size.
Weaknesses:
1. Silver: Shifters are naturally weak to silver and Sanae is no exception.
2. Heat and Cold: Sanae's shifter race is susceptible to extremely hot or cold whether and to fire and ice magic. During winter she rarely leaves the house and during summer she sticks to the shade as much as possible or she might faint. She is prone to illness in the summer and winter months.
3. Extremely sensitive sense of smell: Sanae has a highly developed sense of smell that often plagues her. The smog from the industrial district will make her ill as will perfumes. This makes her susceptible to attacks that attack the lungs or nostrils such as smoke bombs.
4. Untrained fighter: While Sanae is somewhat athletic and able to fall back on her spider form she rather not show it off. She only has a small dagger on her person and the only thing she can effectively do in a fight is throw rocks.
5. Shifter in a biased community: She has to keep her racial identity a secret or risk persecution for what she is. It's a thought that constantly scares her.
