Tyranus
06-08-08, 02:27 AM
Name: Rex Tyranus
Sex: Male
Race: Familiar (human)
Description
Rex is quite tall, reaching nearly seven feet in height. He is sturdily built like a wall of muscle with a total weight distantly approaching three hundred pounds. He has short-cropped black hair and intense red eyes. Beneath his armor he wears a fine black skinsuit that covers his body completely up to the neck along with a massive grey overcoat large enough to fit over full plate comfortably. Other than those two items, the only clothing he wears is armor.
Equipment
Rex has steel knee-high plate boots, steel elbow-length gauntlets, and an iron chest plate. He also has black boiled leather pants that are only temporary until he can get proper greaves. For weapons, he has both a steel battleaxe and a bastard sword. The battleaxe is simple with solid steel head possessing a full foot of cutting edge and firmly attached to the reinforced oak haft. The bastard sword is a hand and a half sword with similarly simple construction, though his hands are too large to hold with both.
Skills
The blade: Rex has some training in the use of his weapons and would be considered of average skill with the axe and sword combination. His skill is slightly diminished if wielding only one weapon at a time.
Body: Rex is about 1.5 times as strong as a man his size could normally be, as well as having nearly twice as much endurance. He is of average speed, or slightly below, that of an average man because he is strong enough to move normally in his armor. He will not tire quickly and will require more severe injuries than normal to incapacitate him. As he is a familiar, he will generally recover within several days but has no increased battle recovery out of the normal. When fatigued he will become a dark blue color, similar to humans appearing red from effort.
Master
Name: Sarah Winters
Sex: Female
Race: Human
Age: 19
Description: Sarah is fairly short at about five and half feet tall and very light, a little over one hundred pounds. She wears her light brown hair in a short ponytail, clearly showing her heart shaped face and bright blue eyes. She wears dark travel robes, typically either red or black. The robes appear especially baggy on her lithe frame as they’re typically men’s robes, and with her hood up she could easily look like a very short and wimpy man.
Items
Sarah carries the coin purse, a few spell components, as well as traveling supplies. The only thing of value she carries is a platinum figurine of a man, which contains Rex’s essence. Anything that happens to the figurine will happen to Rex, much like a voodoo doll.
Skills
Magic: Sarah is capable of casting a protective spell that shields her from both physical and magical injury, though it can be broken through with especially powerful attacks. The spell requires several seconds to cast and requires full concentration as well as restricting movement and lasts for 30 seconds. She is also capable of creating light in a small area and brightening/darkening natural lights around her at will.
Bond: As Rex is her familiar, she exerts some measure of control over him, though it has its limits. Any harm that comes to her also affects Rex in somewhat lessened form, and any strong feelings are transmitted to him as well. This connection appears to be one directional as she never feels any of his injuries or feelings.
Combined History
Sarah was born and raised on the island nation of Scara Brea and lived normally until about the age of ten. During the summer, a traveling magician that was passing through spotted her performing a very simple glowing spell she’d learned from a book and inquired into apprenticing her to himself. From then on, she studied endlessly trying to learn whatever magic she could, but didn’t succeed as either she or the magician had expected. His harsh teaching left little room for the creative tweaking she needed to make the glow spell work, and she suffered as a result. Spells rarely worked for her as they were and she was forbidden from altering them less the sky fall down and the world turn to goo, or so the magician believed would happen.
As she approached her nineteenth birthday, Sarah had had enough of his stuffy ways. Her latest spell was supposed to enchant a small metal figurine so that it could move and maybe talk, if the spell worked particularly well. After her first fifteen tries and fifteen failures, she altered the spell so that it should have worked. Rather than bring to life the metal, she brought to life what the metal was supposed to represent, the fully formed Rex Tyranus. The magician was furious, telling her off for over an hour before kicking her to the curb and uttering a sincere wish to the gods that she never be allowed to practice magic near him again.
Now, Sarah’s nineteen and itching to get out of Scara Brea.
