A Catalogue of Character Talent!

So... "The Spine", theoretically, is formed of the more adventurous / well travelled Forsaken who were -either- volunteered by their respective organisation (Deathguard/Deathstalker/RAS) for service within the Spine, or who themselves sought out membership of the new military body! This does mean, noticeably, that some of those "volunteered" by departments were "volunteered" in order to shunt them away from the organisation... Leaving the Spine with a mixture of competent combatants and incompetent idiots!

ANYWAY... What I -really- want to do (and this would be massively helpful in RP) is to form a list of our characters with their respective specialities/talents/abilities/interests. When giving your own: be as a specific as possible (i r gd with killing, is NOT good), pick something that could be led into or be useful for other characters (it's wonderful if your character is a werewolf but erm... there's not much use for that in our RP), and try to limit how many you put down (I find it hard to believe your character is -the- master of Engineering, Alchemy, the Universe and Hogger).

Finally, add a talent/speciality (or a couple) that your character might be INTERESTED in developing, but which they have not yet mastered. The idea is, this thread shall be a sort of gateway for opening up RP. Character X has an interest in... demonology, and Character Y is an expert in that field, therefore you can start ICly poking each other in game and build upon that interest! Finally, at events it'll also be most useful - allowing those leading the debate to quickly find out who's most suited to a task.

TL;DR?
I want to know exactly what your character is BEST at, and what you character wants to be BETTER at.
eg. "The Muffin Man" - Expert at: cooking cookies, muffins, confectionery & Demonology (specialises in summoning smaller demons).
- Wishes to be better at: cooking pie, cake & cod. Has a passing interest in cartography!

Right... GO!

Oooh, interesting. I know that I, as the leader of the Apothecarium, can find much use in this! Please, do post away!

I'll start out with myself, as Felucia Black.


Grand Apothecary Felucia Black.
Expert at inventing and creating poison and diseases.
She is a senior officer of the Royal Apothecary Society, an esteemed rank.
She has interest in shadow and fire magic, namely fel magic, and knows a few spells, which she has used in the past.
Her physical prowess is almost equal to zero, which basically means that she is a weakling, and needs help carrying what physically trained people would light objects.

Now show me what you've got!

A word of notice to the Apothecaries! I will be looking here frequently, and decide how quickly you could be promoted! You have been warned!

Alchemist Viragio Le Giriano.
Advanced Alchemist and Herbalist.
Since he is more likely a professor type, he also find an interest of building different things from schematics and plans (as the bomb for example.)
However he is thinking of taking some education of becoming an engineer aswell since he knows that the skill could be valuable to his research and projects.
He is like a teacher when it comes to herbs, potions (and of course, poisons) and he is also more than willing to teach out to other dear colleagues of his in R.A.S.
In overall he is like, as mentioned above, a professor who loves his little projects and research. And his skills are no more and no less very valuable.
In the R.A.S, he is one of the apothecaries but he doesn't have any majority or authority over others except only on his test subjects.
Due to his intelligence he is, sometime and quite often, a quick-thinker when it comes to making new things. Such as modifying from a simple explosive bomb in to a gas bomb that could either kill or put asleep.
And when it comes to his physical being. He could carry some heavy things but since he is a forsaken, he is somewhat weaker than an ordinary human.
His speech makes him hiss but doesn't possess that british accent anymore due to his turning.

Kelmith
A battle-warlock shortly after his death.
Moderate skills in alchemy and surgery.
Specialized in fire and shadow spells. (quite much felfire)
Has potential in Demonology.
Powers increase significantly in Outland (which he seeks to hide to prevent suspicion).
Military tactician.

His skills in modest art such as alchemy are not high. Sinc eh lacks motivation practicing them due to their "dullness".
He really lacks physical strength. He leaves carrying heavy-things to his demons, and relies on dexterity in close-quarter combat. So when a strong warrior gets close, he's in trouble.
He lacks respect for most of his superiors, although his rebelling knows more limits than before.
He does see serving the Dark lady relevant in the organization, but he aims for the High Delegate's place, so he can could change the Spine the way HE wants it to be. This has apparently reduced other people's trust in him.
Despite what he says... there are people he holds in higher value than the queen. He poorly struggles to keep it secret.
He is also suffering from the effects of his "side-projects" with the Burning Legion which he has quit. Though he must aid the demons in some places in order for them not to reveal the secret amongst mortals.
Which lowers his potential of leadership even more... is still remaining rashness and lack of patience.

Anthraxius
Extremely gifted and experienced fighter, capable of using multiple weapons and styles.
Skilled Blacksmith.
Good knowledge of first aid, making him a capable front line medic.
Military Tactician.

Anthraxius is skilled in the use of multiple weapons including swords, axes, polearms, maces and his bare hands, though he prefers swords for their versatility.
Anthraxius has a high amount of physical strength and stamina, allowing him to splinter wood, crack stone (while wearing his gauntlets) and carry almost any weapon one handed.
Anthraxius is a skilled Blacksmith, capable of producing good quality weapons and armor in a short amount of time, higher quality armor and weapons would likely take him longer.

Despite his skills in combat, Anthraxius desires to learn more about magic and demonology, as knowing about such things would allow him to devise tactics better according to an individual mage or warlocks skills.
He also desires a knowledge of medicinal herbs and plants.

Teorius
Third generation death knight, able of using unholy and frost magic, as well as entering melee fights with his runeblades.
A master surgeon and very skilled in alchemy.
Knowledge in the gathering and use of several reagents.
A bit lazy.



+Teorius can use most unholy spells in the third generation's spell list.

+He also got some self made spells, even if most of those still are on a test state, if even that. Among these you find his ability to summon chains made of unholy energy, as well as releasing blasts of unstable magic energy, his most used, even is the later usually just blows on himself.

+Teo is also quite skilled in melee combat, using his runeblades. Swords is however the only weapon he got any real skills with, as fishes ain't weapons.

+His skills as a surgeon is both known and respected, even if few chooses him as surgeon if they can avoid it, Teorius have preformed some really complicated complicated surgeries with success, but his love for testing make him breaking the safety lines at times, so take another surgeon if you don't like waking up and notice you got something placed inside your fixed wound.

+As a chemist Teorius have both led Apothecary teams and worked alone, creating things like his glue-mix. His use of acids and the glue have also been a bonus in his combat, giving him new weapons to use.

-Teo have quite a random fighting style, making it a bit unsafe for others to side up near him in a battle. He also have a weird habit of using furniture as weapons.

-His sanity ain't on the top scores.

-Teorius have never been a good leader, being both too honest and to insane to keep any moral alive for a longer time.



*Even with his skills, Teorius still seeks more knowledge as surgeon and chemist.
*Teorius want to know more about magic, learning new tricks and how to utilize his current spells.
*Teorius have lately found an interest in cooking, and want to learn to cook good food without including poisons in it.
*Teo always seeks new knowledge, and this is something he searches for.
