Anything We Should Know: I'm 30 years old, a total nerd, and I love video games? Feel free to add me and I'm happy to chat and plot away.

CHARACTER
Name: The Dragon/Sarkan
Info Page/App: Rough Info Page App for More Detail
Who They Are: The Dragon is a human Court Wizard from an alternate medieval Poland called Polnya. He has a reputation as pretty much the strongest, smartest, keenest... and, well, most arrogant wizard in the land. He is both fearsome and awesome, and he served as protector of a vast valley that laid at the borders of an evil all-consuming Wood.
Where They've Been: Honestly? Mostly the Gallows. He's trying to get to know the place and would rather stick to books than interact with the townies if he can help it.
What They Want: Mostly to gather as much knowledge and new magical skill as possible, as well as to aid in clearing and preventing corruption caused by rifts. Blood Magic will not be off-limits to his mind. He also wants to learn how to control rifts, if possible, for a swift route back to his native lands.
Plot & CR Desires: Honestly, I'm up for anything! I'm a total newbie here, and I want to start forging both positive and negative CR; he's not so keen on people who behave like buffoons, and he does not respect downright vile and self-serving folks. He will come around to respect intelligent folks and people who are willing to give him the latitude and tools to work magic the best way he knows how. He is also willing to work with other mages who show special talent or 'mesh' well with his style.... with plenty of prodding through his prickliness, of course.
Anything Else: I really enjoyed playing around with a couple of you on the Test Drive meme! I hope to forge a lot of lasting RP relationships here. I am flexible and looking to call Fade Rift a new 'home base,' so please hit me up and help me get my feet wet. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I know I am playing from a pretty obscure canon, so I'm happy to work out any pertinent details with other players that may be fuzzy. :)

Thank you, and I can't wait to get started!

hey! i'm so pleased you apped, i loved our tdm thread (gym) you can hit me up at matriarchal, i play petra + gwen + margaux here, variously a rifter witch, an orlesian noblewoman with issues and an orlesian city elf hustler. i will happily bounce them all off this dude!

[fireandsmoke]

Hey there! I added you back on plurk. Super happy to get started in the main comms here. I just have to figure out exactly what to do -- if waiting for a log still applies or if I start something. Thanks for recommending this place to me!

[limier]

i’m so glad you apped, as i’ve already shouted at you elsewhere, but i’m still so glad.

the dragon looks like a cool, complex dude, and i can’t wait to see how he develops in-game (and what he ends up involving himself in). i’m definitely going to keep an eye out for your posts so i can start shoving people at him.

aaand if at some point you’d like an ic intro to blood magic, for good or ill, i’ve got a friendly blood mage hanging around, though he's a little quiet about it, and generally prone to buffoonery.

there's also this significantly less friendly templar who would be happy to talk up the dangers, probably while looming like an asshole. provided they didn't just implode from mutual stubbornness.

[fireandsmoke]

A blood mage prone to buffoonery? Now this sounds like fun. Very, very terrible fun. Because Sarkan will very much resent needing to rely on an 'idiot' to learn something new. Please let's do this sometime.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm still reading around and trying to get a grasp on what's happening, so if I need some tips or nudges or corrections here and there, please don't hesitate to do it. Makes me wish I played the Dragon Age games!

[alankazam]

thumbs-up, i'll pencil it in!

and no worries — we've definitely had more than a few canonblind folks in game before. please feel free to ask if you have any questions, and the wiki's very detailed if there's every anything you feel like looking up. :)

[sans_harmony]

Hey, welcome! This dude sounds awesome, and it's good to meet you!

If you like, I'd be happy to toss Diwaniya here at the Dragon! It sounds like they have a lot in common, which could either be a good thing (Diwa would be thrilled to help with this "control the rifts so we can go home" plan) or a bad thing (prickly, arrogant and accustomed to ruling shit + prickly, arrogant and accustomed to ruling shit = oh dear.) Either way, could be fun!

[fireandsmoke]

Oh, yes, Diwaniya is a perfect resource for the Dragon. I can imagine them sort of begrudgingly working together and respecting their abilities, but PERSONALITY CLASH AHOY. I wonder which one of them will out-arrogant each other?

Thanks for the welcome! It's good to meet you, too!

[youwonscience]

ALSO chiming in to say I'm delighted you decided to app.

(True story, I almost apped Kasia and then despaired of iconing a woman made of wood, sort of, somehow. Anyway your canon is a delight.)

I am totally up for saying our test drive thread is now canon if you like and it fits into your post-arrival plans.

[fireandsmoke]

I think I would super duper like our thread to be canon, so long as his settling in period doesn't screw this out of the realm of possibility! Then I can have automatic CR with you, Cosima. Yessssssssssss \o/ And I'm also putting him into the Research division to start, so I think it'll make total sense in the context of the game.

Thank you for the welcome! Can't wait to really sink my teeth in. :) (Also Kasia would be a wondrous addition, she was the only thing that I wish there was more of in the book!)

[youwonscience]

Excellent! We can back/forward date it as much as necessary, no worries.

[fireandsmoke]

Sounds great! And please, if you have any suggestions for me, don't be afraid to drop notes in my HMD. I'm expecting other people familiar with my canon to be relatively rare, and I'll be happy for any comments as I work on getting accustomed to Sarkan's voice and behaviors.

Anders loves talking magic and teaching it and learning about other worlds' magic! I'm Jackie and I'm currently on hiatus for the month, but I'd love to plot with you for August and toss my mage at you. Welcome to the game!

Also I'm Nadat on Plurk if you wanna add me.

[fireandsmoke]

Added you, Jackie! So nice to meet you! I'm tangentially familiar with Anders since so many of my friends played and love Dragon Age, so that's good, I think. ;) They can be nerds about magic and exchange some of their knowledge. August sounds wonderful and should give me a little time to settle in. Thanks for the welcome, and I look forward to playing with you!

[justice_is_blond]

Hooray, and likewise!

Fandom has a lot of Opinions on Anders and it's all over the spectrum, hee. The thing to know about this one is that he's no longer possessed, which makes him a lot easier to deal with, LOL, generally speaking, but he's still opinionated and passionate.
