View Full Version : Sir Gideon the Magnificent



Gideon
11-28-07, 10:35 PM
Name: Sir Gideon the Magnificent (Gideon for short)
Age: VERY...VERY...OLD but appears 19
Race: Human
Hair Color: Blue
Eye Color: Green
Height: 5'9"
Weight: About 160 lbs

*Occupation: Former genius techno mage.

*Personality: He is easy going and believes in forgiveness, especially compared to his former self which was ruthless and unforgiving and would kill anyone that crossed him. Now he would rather die than see people suffer the way they suffered back during his time.

Appearance: He wears a silver tunic with raised and extended shoulder bands, making him seem like his shoulders seem broader than they really are. His undershirt has long silver sleeves ending in broad gold metal cuffs around his wrists. He wears white leather gloves on his hands that extend under his cuffs so no skin is showing.

His pants are silver colored as well with hints of gold laced throughout. They are kind of loose and fall over the very tops of his white boots, covering the first two buckles, but leaving the third and the rest of his shoes exposed.

History: At one point in his life, he was much more powerful than he was now, but now just in power alone. Not just in strength or magic. He once owned an empire of nothing that resided with the living. His army consisted of killing machines and his cities consisted of robotic automatons as well as other creations to keep his supplies in the surplus.

He participated in the War of the Tap as Sir Gideon, but to his friends, if he had any besides his robots, was Sir Gideon the Magnificent. To his enemies, he was That Bastard, Gideon.

During the sealing ritual of the war of the tap, he used his technology to save himself as everything hit the fan. He had an escape plan which required him to go into a cryogenic hibernation as a liquid engulfed him and teleported him to some other point away from the battle. Unfortunately, his robots shut down due to the ritual and he was never found leading to a prolonged cryogenic sleep and symptoms of memory loss.

Skills: His skill with mechanics is unbelievable, except his cryogenic stasis error caused his mind to forget quite a bit of what he used to know. Fixing up something as complex as a car (example only) wouldn't be above him at this point.

Equipment: A small crossbow and as of now, 10 bolts to use as he chooses.

*Familiars: A robotic wolf that he once built as an experiment to see if he could make metal with everlasting capabilities.

Even though it isn't a fighting skill, you can have an 'unbelievable' ability to work on machines. Please have it so that him forgetting a lot of things due to that stasis error has brought him down to Above Average.

Also, the energy gun has to go. We don't allow level zero characters to have guns of any kind, even if they can only fire twice.

That was what I said... It was unbelievable, and then the stasis memory loss brought him down to exactly what you described.

I guess I'll have some kind of energy crossbow then.

The fact that you worded it in such a way that fixing a car isn't above him, makes it seem as if he's still quite skilled.

Oh, and replacing a gun for an energy crossbow isn't very different, especially considering you now have more shots with your crossbow then you did with the gun, just a shoter loading time.

Ok I made it a regular crossbow. I really want Gideon to use something like that and then eventually move up to guns, because that's the kind of thing he would be using.

As for the fixing of the car thing, he wouldn't be like "Oh, it's the flux capacitor!" It would take him a longass time, but he'd eventually be able to fix it.

Should I make the same offer as Slayer of the Rot? >_>;

Haha!

No need, though I make take you up on that later. ^_~ I just wanted some clarification as to his skill with it and thank you for changing to a regular crossbow. Just remember, you can get an energy weapon or a gun later on. I'd aim for acquiring it around level 2, otherwise there's a chance it might not get approved.
