Strengths: Killing, teaching others how to kill, being a battlefield general.
Weaknesses: A wandering eye for different skills and methods of destruction; impulsive.
Attitude: Little time for anything outside his sphere of knowledge/interest; if you're willing to fight, he'd help- otherwise, he likely doesn't know you exist unless you're family.
Morals: Little to none. He regards Magnagora as his home, but has fought against it to feed his own ego. He considers doing battle his duty, regardless of who it is with or against.
Best way to piss me off: Be unwilling or unprepared to lay down your life for a cause.
Best way to get on my good side: Be willing and prepared to lay down your life for a cause.

SUMMARY
Why you should hate him: Numerous deaths.
Why you should love him: Numerous kills, if we're allies.
Why you should fear him: Numerous deaths.
Why he is harmless: Literally forgot all skills, can only flail in your general direction.
If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: A warrior society that throws babies off cliffs if they're inadequate, like 300.
Fur: finely groomed, if getting a bit unkempt and greying in that old man way
Eyes: amber/gold coloured, almond shaped.
Height: slightly tall for a furrikin
Build: obese, to the point of being near spherical and immobile if not for demigodhood
Defining Features: Weight, scragglie fangs, eyes (same across all forms)
Piercings: None, but ears/nose/navel all pierced
Scars: None Visible
Tattoos: Mandala of the Planar Realms, on gut.
PERSONALITY
Strengths: He is inherently inclined towards serving and facilitating the needs of others, occasionally to the point of obsession where applicable. His love for his kith and kin is boundless.
Weaknesses: He can often work on a glacial timeframe of accomplishing anything, if not properly motivated, having fallen into a general indifference to things like 'time' and 'causality'.
Attitude: Inherently good natured and unflappable with an old streak of mischief, tho sometimes succumbs to that jaded indifference that comes with over two centuries of age.
Morals: A strange mix of Collectivism and Fatalism seen thro the lens of a childhood of Wyrden Philosophy, a sort of Contextual Absolutism. Under the right circumstances any action can be justified, and circumstances can always be arranged to favour an action. “Good and Evil” are just a false dichotomy of buzzword ideology, only the discrete constructs of Law built within a framework of rational cause/effect matter. The only “moral” action is one that serves the greater purpose of its framework [in his case the Collective and Design] or advance reality towards continued existence. The only “immoral” action is one without purpose or which advances reality towards its destruction without recourse.
Pet Peeves: shoes, bad puns, a lack of decorum
Best way to piss him off: unjustly harm or defame his kith, lie maliciously
Best way to get on his good side: Don't misrepresent yourself or your intentions, indulge in conversation and game, bring food (Blackberries a plus)
FAVORITES
Color: Azure
Tertiary: Healing
Tertiary Skill: Sacrifice
Primary Skill: Crystalweapon (Scalpel, Beryl)

Item owned: a sinuous, blackened silver wedding band bearing an azure rose
Village/forest/region: Czigany Wayfaire
NPC: Jal Czigany
Memory: Proposing with a cliched magic trick, backstage rehearsal nonsense with the old Hallifax Acting Troupe, running around the Wayfaire like little children with Eliron every single time.
Song: The vague birdsong he always whistles, the source of which he can't remember
Drink: Black Ice Moonshine
MINDSET
Goals: To refine the Articles of the Collective to mortal perfection, rendering Hallifax judicially autonomous and streamlined. To finish and refine the Order to best serve the Design.
Amibitions: Retire without unresolved regret
Nemesis: Morbo
Rival: Eliron, but obtusely
Best Friend: Orventa and Eliron
Idol: Arel
Best personal achievement: Unexpectedly winning the Seal of Beauty for Hallifax
Worst personal achievement: Resigning himself to never amounting to more than an armchair scientist, essentially shelving years of research, and choosing instead to remain only a bureaucrat.
Proudest moment: Being made Shaper of Systems by Zvoltz, forever wondering what Zvoltz sees in him that he can't see in himself and finding strength in that sentiment.
Most shameful moment: He has two great shames - [1] His involvement in the sundering of Hallifax from Trinity, particularly the decade long schism of silence it created between him and his brother. [2] The circumstances behind his resignation as Harbingers' Maestro, the letters of which still exist in the Post.
If he could make one wish: One last moment of closure with his mentor
SUMMARY
Why you should hate him: Not much reason you should, but he can be a little incessant and manipulative if convinced of something.
Why you should love him: He is nothing if not as cuddly as a fuzzy beanbag filled with pudding and fluff would imply, and he will always strive to serve and entertain those who show him kindness
Why you should fear him: He has cultivated two and half centuries of experience and connections with this world and its people, you cannot surprise him and should you cross him personally he will know how to destroy you if he wishes.
Why he is harmless: He has no mind for combat, becoming glossy eyed at the very thought, and finds conflict distasteful even when it is objectively necessary.
If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: Peace and quiet, he's got a retirement to enjoy after all.

I have to say, seeing all these vague heights, like "taller than most X" or "shorter than most X" is rather infuriating. I understand if you dont want to put it exclusively in your description, a lot of people don't like that aesthetic, but at least commit to a height on an OOC level, because when you RP with somebody significantly taller or shorter than yourself, it can be dificult to figure out exactly where you reach on a person's height.
Also, if everybody is "shorter than most" then everybody is average, amirite?
o.o
A whisper from the trees and a frosty presence tells you, secretly, "But you are strong, little
flower, and wise." The voice shifts and expands, becoming more real. "And everything you just said
in the ritual made me feel safer. You should, too."

I'm honestly not trying to be petty. My character is a foot and a half tall. It makes a difference, and helps tremendously, if you say "around five and a half feet" instead of "slightly shorter than average"
It makes a difference, because on some people she's calf-height, knee-height, waist-height, or shoulder-height
which is a big difference when emoting.

agreed, but still vague. Aberrantly short could mean any height thats significantly shorter than the norm, which, while flavorful, does not help with figuring out where you reach in relation to the other character's body.

I tend to rebel against imperial measurements, so my description does not mention a specific height. I did, however, bow to perceived pressure and give a height in feet here on the forums, because 90% of people haven't embraced the glory of the metric system.
I've always considered the race average to be the size / 2 in feet (because I'm a filthy American). So I usually work from there when people write shorter than most/taller than most.

I seem to remember Someone official suggesting that this is about right, but that density is a consideration too (e.g. trills have hollow bones, so they're taller than their 10 height stat might suggest).

Color: Orange. Tertiary: Paradigmatics or Telekinesis. Tertiary Skill: Reality or Pyre. Primary Skill: Skewer or Incinerate. Location: Your inner temple or guildhall. God/Goddess: Mysrai/Fain. Guild Master/House Head (all time): Altrea as Grand Mistress General. Artifact (don't have to own): Pliers of Clangorum. Commodity: Steel. Great for tempering! Animal: His eagle.

If I could make one wish: That the Chaos Hamster dingbat items would come out of retirement.
SUMMARY
Why you should hate him: He's probably been in your guildhall and definitely been in your inner temple - including the places you can't get to. Why you should love him: He tries to be nice to everyone (well almost). Why you should fear him: He's old and might drool on you. Why he is harmless: His affability. If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: He'd give it up, once was enough as Emperor of Magnagora.
Nemesis: The Shofangi Guildhall, it's a pain to break into.
Well. I guess that's ONE thing the Shofangi can be proud of.
That attitude right there is why you can't keep members. Instead of wailing about it, fix it

Was a minor event where Eventru and Lyreth fused to become Valtreth.
And you should totally make your own post here. For sure.
Actually I'm pretty sure his God Realm still exists and can be flown to via aetherspace, it just immediately kicks you out. Bit of a pain really as I'm guessing the rooms still count for explorer rankings and the place is so big that it probably locks the top 5-8 explorer rankings into unbeatable positions.
