Stuffed Fury
09-24-07, 03:02 PM
Alias: Sasorick AKA Teddy
Age: 5 human years (as a bear)
Race: Animated Teddy Bear, possibly human in the past
Nationality: Coronian?
Gender: Male?
Eye Color, Hair Color/Style: Full black, beady eyes and a coat of short light brown hair
Height and Weight: 13 inches, 3 lbs.
Occupation: Teddy aspires to be a Corone Ranger. Right now he is just a ranger.
Personality: Sasorick is your tight little ball of packed fury. He acts like an adolescent. Easily angered and cocky, he is willing to jump into almost any situation, despite his size. He also loves beautiful women, a hint pointing to if he was once a human - But he doesn't know.
For some reason he loves to perch up on a fellow adventurer's shoulder or even head maybe while traveling, he can't pedal his 3 inch legs all day, now can he? Maybe if he feels lucky, he'll try to perch in a female companion’s cleavage.
A lot of the time he has skills to back himself up, but sometimes he gets himself in situations where luck is his only savior. Even though he is a cocky and women loving teddy bear, he has a good heart and strives to make Althanas a better place. - General Alignment: Neutral Good
Appearance: Teddy is a quality-made and especially cute stuffed bear, standing at the average adventurer's shins. A coat of artificial brown fur blankets him, and a pair of small black beads serve as his eyes. A little white bead serves as his nose and only the gods know what he uses as a mouth. It's just pretty much a thread sewn below the nose as his mouth, but he still manages to play the role as "the motor mouth" of the party.
His face and big semi-circle ears are usually covered under the green hood of his long forest-green and fur-lined cloak. The cloak reaches down even past his little feet - Without toes, by the way - and sometimes he accidentally slips up on the excess fabric. Also strapped to his back is his tiny brown leather sheath that holds his longsword. And a leather belt is wrapped around his waist with a leather holster on either side, housing his hand crossbows.
A special trait about this teddy bear, is that he has a permanent enchantment that simply strengthens the materials he is made of, making it especially hard to rip him apart - Which would be like ripping a strip of tough leather in half.
Equipment:
Steel Longsword: This is a custom-made steel longsword, made just the right size for the diminutive teddy. It weighs probably a good pound, and the blade is about 7 inches long, the hilt 3 inches long. He wields it as if it was a broadsword. The silver steel blade is double sided and though small, still sharp enough to put a good gash in someone if he managed to get a good hit in, with a black, diamond-shaped wrist guard and leather-wrapped hilt; It's as if it's simply a shrunken version of a normal longsword.
Dual Hand Crossbows: These are a pair of oak and iron hand crossbows and, much like the longsword, fit the teddy bear perfectly. They rest in holsters at his sides, which a quiver next to each one. These custom-made crossbows are enchanted so that they still fly at about the same speed as a real hand-crossbow, maybe a little slower. Bolt Amount: 30 (15 per crossbow)
Sewing Kit: This is a small, magical pouch filled with a set of magical sewing tools. This allows Sasorick to repair his injuries by himself, without having to go to his Bazaar buddy. It's kept tucked under his belt behind him, covered by the cloak all the time.
Proficiencies:
Sasorick isn't the fighter of the group, though he has some fighting abilities. But his diminutive size pretty much renders him useless against even a leather-armored foe. This usually has him fighting in the background, firing bolts off while his companions take the heat, maybe sometimes he'll sneak in and poke the enemy unnoticed. But usually he is just the morale of a group.
__________________________________________________ _______________
Crossbow-Slinger: Because of Sasorick's size and strength, he constantly relies on his hand-crossbows. He has the ability to reload his crossbows with a single hand, thus doubling firing speed. On account of the fact that he shoots such small bolts at such large targets - even an average human lumbers over him - his accuracy is pretty good. Though, he can't quite hit vital spots and such on a whim yet. Sasorick also has a passive magical ability, and this is that when he fires his pin-size bolts, they magically grow while they whiz to their target. The size that they grow to depends on level, though, and same with piercing strength.
-----Overall Skill: Above Average
-----Growth Size and Piercing Strength: At the moment, Sasorick's bolts grow to be about a fifth the size of a normal sized crossbow bolt. With the piercing strength equivalent to about a fourth of a normal bolt - This would mean that probably just the bolt-tip would pierce an average human's skin.
__________________________________________________ ______________
Two-Handed Swordplay: Whenever Sasorick either wants to feel and look like a badass, or is unable to use his hand-crossbows, he'll whip out his longsword and use it to do some slicin'-and-dicin'. His sword style, due to his size, is mainly composed of jumping attacks so he can level his blade to his enemy rather than having to ankle-slice them all day. His style is also a very cowardly one, if you want to call it that. Because rather than being able to parry attacks or block them in any way without his sword breaking, he has to use guerilla tactics. He doesn't use his sword too much, though, and his skill isn't the best.
-----Overall Skill: A little below average.
__________________________________________________ ______________
Special Character Traits:Because, well obviously, Teddy is very much unlike a lot of other Althanians, he has a set of special characteristics that make him especially unique.
Pain: Being an "inanimate" object, Teddy has a special resistence to pain. Being that he doesn't really feel it at all. As an exception, though, total destruction of a body part will indeed cause pain, such as being caught on fire. But, say if he gets one of his arms ripped or cut off, he probably wouldn't feel it.
Jumping: Sasorick is forced to move around via jumping, especially in battle. This has given him an unnatural ability to jump to incredible heights. For his size, at least. Currently he can jump 3x higher than his own height (3 feet approx.).
Attributes: Sasorick is cursed, and blessed with some basic attributes. He is the epitome of speed, at least for someone his size. He is able to maneuver at incredible speeds; of course, his fastest sprint wouldn't measure to a casual human jog, hehe. He is about .5x the speed of an average human.
As for strength, he could probably arm-wrestle a baby goblin and still lose horribly. If he were to punch you in the face, it would feel like a ball of cotton being tossed at you! He is about .1x as strong as an average human, which just enough strength to wield his longsword without much hindrance.
The normal five senses haven't been augmented very much. But for some reason he is in fact a little bit more wary of his surroundings. His senses are currently 1.2x sharper than an average human's.
Environmental Resistance: Because he is an animated inanimate object, if that makes sense, he doesn't feel things such as cold and heat. He doesn't shiver or sweat, unaffected by extreme conditions such as the harsh lands of Salvar. Though strong winds would pose a problem, potentially blowing the little bugger away! Also fire wouldn't be very good, either...
Necessities: Also due to the fact that he is a teddy bear, he doesn't have all the needs a human has. He doesn't need to eat or drink, though he can - gods know where it goes or comes out, but he can. Strangely, though, he could still drown. Though that usually isn't a problem because he'd just float on top of the water. He also doesn't need to sleep, which makes him the perfect night watch. Though that doesn't mean he can't get weary.
Repair: Sasorick doesn't always come out of battles unscathed. Thus, he has to get repaired. The teddy bear can't really die, in the literal sense of the term. Even if his head got ripped off he'd still be alive, though he'd be a little useless to anyone. His body can even move without the head. The only way for him to really die, theoretically speaking, would be being burnt to ashes.
Anyway, if there is ever a time where he can't repair himself, if the injury/rip is too intricate for him to sew, he has to go to the Bazaar and have his friend (and maybe even creator?) sew it back up for him. Sometimes it'll be for free, other times he may ask for a couple gold pieces. His name is Roderick.
Magic: Throughout his life, Sasorick has seen many Rangers practice not only melee combat but sometimes magical combat as well. Thus, in an everlasting effort to become a renowned Coronian Ranger, Sasorick has started to learn basic magic. Though, he has not learned any definite magic spells yet, except for his innate abilities below.
"Long" Longsword: This is a spell similar to the enchantment on his crossbows. Though this requires a trigger. All Sasorick has to do it utter the single word "Retzin ('ret' as in f'ret')" and his longsword blade will magically grow. The length at which it grows depends on the spell's strength, which increases with level. This enchanted length only lasts for about 3 seconds, allowing for maybe a couple slashes. Current Growth: 11 inches - Note: This is what the blade grows to, not how much length is added to the blade.
Dash: This spell requires no trigger, except for the thought of actually performing this move. When Teddy uses Dash, his entire body glows and he is propelled forward uncontrollably. Thus is the downfall of Dash - Say if he did Dash near a cliff edge, he would be propelled off the edge without being able to stop himself. With increased potency of Dash, the amount of time he is in Dash mode and speed increases. He usually uses this in conjunction with "Long" Longsword. Current Speed and Length: 1 second, 2x his speed. (I.e. If his innate speed is .5x that of an average human dash will make him 1x)
History: Sasorick was "born" in the Coronian Bazaar. His vision blurred into existence and he saw the kind-hearted eyes of Roderick looking down at him. And like a just-born chick, Sasorick became attached to Roderick like he was his own father. He was born acting like a teenage boy, which might hint at the fact that he was once in fact a teenage human boy. Roderick never told him his true origins, but Teddy never complained: He was a kickass stuffed animal, for crying out loud!
Sasorick has no memories before that awakening, and he spent the first 5 years of his life in Corone, pretty much idolizing the Coronian Rangers. Thus, he has studied the ways of the ranger, of course with his own twist. Because he is young, his history is short so far.
