Redwall Survivor

[redclaw]

This is an idea that I saw once on another site and think would be interesting to bring to LORA. It is like the role-playing, but members vote on their favorite character, and the one who receives the least votes is... DEAD! People who wish to join should post their character here. You can use a character that you RP with, or a new one. The fate of your character here will not matter on the rest of the site. We can have about 8 characters join. Please do not join unless you can post fairly often. Each week, people will take turns posting in order. TO help the story along faster, you can make other characters do things as well in your post. Though you can harm or physical alter your character, you can not do so to other people's. During each weeks posting (we will need staff to help us with this) people will vote on their favorite character. If you own one of the characters please do not vote. The person who receives the least votes must kill off their character in their first post next week. Thus, no-one dies in the first week. Posting will not be done in this thread, just character signing up. I will make a thread titled "week 1" or something similar.

(Now, enough of my prattling, lets post our characters.)

Ok, I'll join myself. And yes, for those of you who didn't know, I am Merce.

Name: Merce Whitedeath
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Species: weasel
Occupation: mercenary, official jerk

Physical Appearance:
Merce is thin and tall, with long legs and arms. His fur is completely white and his eyes are red, because he is an albino. He always wears a black tunic and coat. His coat, which he is famous for, contains many hidden pockets on the inside and outside. Over his coat he has a black belt, and wears black boots.

Possessions
Merce's main weapons and prized possessions are an ebony handled sword and dirk which he carries in his belt. Inside pockets in his infamous coat he stows four knives, which can be used for throwing or stabbing. In his sleeves, in hidden sheaths, he carries two slightly longer daggers. All his weapons have stunningly white blades and black handles. Dyed by paint, or other means, it is not known. He also has a bow, and a quiver of black flighted arrows, often poisoned.

Personality:
Merce acts extremely childlike, and talks endlessly. He picks on those weaker than him, and loves to torment people. He hates and likes no-one and is hard to anger. He has an annoying laugh, which he displays often. He has a crafty mind though, which his childish actions hide.

Strengths:
Blades: Merce is skilled at using bladed weapons for blocking and attacking.
Knife throwing: Merce can throw knives very well and hardly ever misses his target.
Paw-to-paw: Merce is skilled at marshal arts and can fight unarmed and disarm easily.
Agility: Merce is springy and agile. (He can do back-flips )

Weaknesses:
Weak: Merce is skinny, and can not stand up in contests of strength.
Water: Merce hates and fears water, even boats.
Friendless: Merce can not make, let alone keep, friends.

History:
Merce was born east of Mossflower, between Redwall and Loamhenge. His father was a fierce warrior and the leader of a tribe. His mother was a seer, a dabbler in the dark arts. Despite her strange powers, she was gentle, in stark contrast to Merce's father. Merce's father trained him in the art of war, combat, and weaponry, while his mother protested. She tried to teach Merce her art, but she could find no seer powers in him. When Merce was 12, his mother fell ill. Merce stayed by her side, which greatly displeased his father. Merce's mother, just before she died, told her husband that she had seen that Merce would become neither a seer, or a warrior. Merce's father was enraged, and in his anger, banished Merce, telling him to come back when he was a real man. Merce, never came back, but traveled through mossflower, working for pay and food. During his wandering he came upon a different mercenary, often thought to be the best living. Merce challenged him to a duel, and won. The coat he took, and by hiding his weapons in it, has been able to trick and assassinate several victims. Four years after he was banished, he was a strong warrior and killer, but still childlike. In a sense, he never became a real man.

Relationships:
Father-alive
Mother-dead

Other
Though Merce is no seer, he inherited from his mother the skill to look into creature's pasts.
