1. Name: Jaryd Rigel
Age: 43
DOB: November 5th
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 180lbs
2. Where were you born? I don't remember. I was an infant at the time.
3. Tell me about your eye color, hair color and style. Well, my eyes, I suppose are my best feature, or so the ladies have told me. *laughs* But seriously, they're grey-blue, in case you can't tell because you're LOOKING RIGHT AT THEM. I have black hair with a bit of grey, probably from too many close calls with certain authorities who don't agree with how I manage to get by.
4. Do you have any scars or handicaps? A few scars from childhood. Scrapes and cuts and things. Oh, and my parents disappeared when I was a young boy.
5. What is your educational background? Apprenticed to an earth mage, who saw me for a forcemage the instant the saw me TKing rocks through windows.
6. Tell me about your work experience. *snorts* Well if you really must know, I'm a bit of a thief. I see people walking by with things they really don't need and I reallocate their assets for the greater, aka my, good. Usually I go unnoticed, but I have had to sling the occasional rock and someone's temple. Oh, and I've been hired out as a mercenary before... My particular brand of magic is admirably suited to the battlefield.
7. Who is your best friend? Name both a woman and a man. Friends? Pah. I have little need for other people. If I require companionship, I'll go to a tavern.
8. Who are your enemies and why are they your enemies? A few bounty hunters follow me from time to time, hoping to cash in on the thieving forcemage who has given the law so much trouble. Trouble is, usually such treasure seekers remember that I'm a thief, a liar, and I've got a high price on my head. They tend to forget the forcemage part.
9. Tell me about your parents. I'd rather not.
10. What are your present problems? Boredom. Tripping people with flying sticks only goes so far.
11. How can your problems get worse? Well I suppose an Imperial legion could catch up to me and give me the option of death or to go quietly. Though honestly anything would be a nice break from the monotonous day to day.
12. What is your strongest characteristic? My magic, And my sense of humor
13. What is your weakest characteristic? My moral compass is, shall we say, somewhat skewed.
14. You see yourself as: alone and sane in a crazy world
15. You are seen by others as: prickly and withdrawn. Most people think I'm a jerk. I'm not too bothered by it. Most of the time.
16. Tell me about your private life and your public life.
Well, my private life wouldn't be very private if I told you all about it, now would it? As for my public life? well.. I don['t usually get into the publics eyes.. it leads to bad business. And generally if I do make the news, I've either robbed the wrong person or someone I've robbed before has seen me and alerted the authorities.
17. Tell me about your sense of humor/kind of humor.
Go sarcasm. Sarcastic dry humor for the most part.. if it's funny to me, it's worth being said.
18. What is your basic nature? Basic nature, well. I'm generally a good person. But you see, I am a thief.
19. Do you have any ambitions? What? Originally my ambitions were to become rich and powerful. Gaining the power part, it wasn't too hard to become rich.Though I'm finding that rich and powerful isn't all its cracked up to be.
20. What is your philosophy of life? If it's good enough for me, it's probably good enough or too good for you.
21. What are your hobbies? Hunting, camping, knocking down trees with rocks, shredding foliage with sticks, tripping people by moving obstacles into their path. I'm so bored.
22. Tell me about your preferred kinds of music, art, reading, colors, pastime, and dress.
I like fast music, but usually strings. Horns give me a headache. Deep drums aren't too bad either.
Art? Sculptures. I think I'm possibly more qualified to enjoy sculptures than anyone else in the world.
Readings: action adventure. If I can't find entertainment in my own life, I might as well find it in someone else's
Colors: I like reds and purples. Magus' cat is the first cat I've ever really been intrigued buy,merely because of its color. I want a purple cat.
My favorite past time. Hm. probably sailing. I've only been on a ship once, but it was very enjoyable. I was even able to overlook the smell of the crew.
I dress functionally. I wear greys, greens and browns, Mostly because those colors don't look out of place anywhere. Making my self unnoticeable is central to thievery. I usually wear a loose-fitting shirt with a vest over is, and leather pants. I of course ear a belt with various bags attached to it, one being my coin purse, another being the bag of crossbow bolts I appropriated from several guards trying to "bring me to justice". The other bags are empty, other than emergency supplies such as food and medical supplies like burn salves and tourniquets and bandages.
23. Describe your home environment physical, emotional and mental. Home? I have no home. Home is where I am.
24. What is the most important thing to know about the character? Jaryd's a very hard person to get to know, he's not very sociable, but deep down he's really not a bad guy. He's never really had any kind of friend, the last person he got on with was the Earth mage who trained him.
25. Give me a one line characterization.
Erm. What?
26. What trait will make this character come alive?
Other characters. You can't have a good roleplay without some decent interaction, and conflict caused by Jaryd will definitely force some interaction
27. Why was this character worth writing about?
He's not really anything anyone has ever seen before.
28. Do you like this character? Why?I think he's fun. I have always kinda wanted a form of telekinesis
29. Do you dislike this character? Why?
Naw, he's great. though others might not like him just because he's kind of a jerk.
30. Will the others on the site like/dislike this character? Why?
I don't know. I think the RPers like him, but the characters generally don't care for him much so far.
31. Characters who will be remembered are strong or saints or sinners, etc. Why will this character be remembered?
I don't know. Haven't gotten into a big RP yet.. still in the lobby, as it were.
32. Find a piece of music that goes with this character. If this character had a song, what would it be? Probably something by Apocalyptica. Driving strings, but still a sense of class about it.
33. If you could compare your character to another famous character (real or imagined) who would you closely compare yourself to and why? Um. Gah I'm terrible at these questions.. I'll edit it later
34. If someone famous were to play your character, who would it be and why? Well
I kind of designed him around the way I look, just with different colored eyes. So I don't know.
35. Tell me a favorite quote that your character would like.
"Remain silent and be thought a fool, or speak and remove all doubt."
36. Consider this character as an animal. Describe it.
Probably a wild dog. Not easy to get close to and a survivor.
37. Consider this character as a musical instrument. Describe it. A Viola. Not quite as elegant as a violin, nor as pretty. But still able to play that music
38. Consider this character as an object. Describe it.
Jaryd would obviously be a slingshot. Lol. A really powerful slingshot made of titanium and a ridiculous amount of tension.
39. Consider this character as a food. Describe it. Spicy Noodles. Thai food, basically.
40. Consider this character as a famous cartoon character. Who would they be most like? Why? Uh.... Probably Darkwing Duck. He thinks he's a lot cooler than he really is. Not that he's not cool, but his ego tends to be a little overinflated.
