PLAYER: Solar
ARE YOU OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP: Yes! Youkofox13
A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: Tired of my job, looking to change it up. I love cats, consume new things at obsessive rates, and have a tendency to edit my tags.
YOUR LATEST SHOWER EPIPHANY THE WORLD MUST KNOW: Eleven is immune to changes in the flow of time!

CHARACTER: Eleven
CANON: Dragon Quest XI S
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: Anxious Chosen One/Child of Light quietly wilting in the dark cold of the citadel while he works hard to help people and make himself useful. He now has a 6'7" sworn bodyguard in the form of Hendrik that will be shadowing him a lot of the time so there's also that!
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Your character has been patiently queuing for the past hour, when someone with no extenuating circumstances cuts in. How do they react? TBH, he wouldn't react much. Just let them.

ii. What job would your character most majestically fail at? Any job calling for consistent decorum and/or poise. He could fake it for all of an hour before unravelling and second-guessing everything.

iii. What scent do you associate with your character? Pine.

WHAT’S YOUR CHARACTER BEEN UP TO, SO FAR?
This past month, Eleven was busy in the mines, stealing time at the forges, and occasionally taking work at the docks to make money. Now, moving to a farm, I expect he'll largely be playing support for the group, doing whatever it is they need on a given day: sourcing supplies for repairs, food, healing people, using fire magic to help abate the cold, generally being friendly.

WHAT ARE YOU ITCHING TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER DO IN SA-HARETH NEXT? In the background, in his idle time, Eleven is working to puzzle out the secrets of thralling, so I'm excited for him to make some headway there. He also... may capture one of the unthawing undead later in the month and attempt to see if he can help restore some degree of its humanity.

[somebadnews]

These two are the most unlikely pair... could not be more the opposite. Five needs to study him and learn how human interactions work. (But you know. He's an old man, and hanging out with a teenager is weird. He'll be weird about it and maybe talk to him through his bodyguard lol.)

Owes him one for the sword(s) though. I'm sure it'll come up!

[bearshermark]

Lmao El won't mind from his end and he's pretty open to things. I'm def interested in how their CR will develop!

[darkeststars]

Sounds like El might need a necromancy expert in his future. Feel free to hit Arche up, lol.

[bearshermark]

Oh, man heck yeah. That would be pretty darn interesting. I wonder how that will go. Seema like El will have the space to keep a thawing undead person so unless something significant changes in the next 10-11 days, pretty sure he'll be going for it.

Also Arche needs to meet Hendrik sometime haaah

[darkeststars]

Oh you better believe this is happening. Can't wait for little asshole who's just decided he's territorial about El's well being to bump into heinously tall man who's presumably also territorial about El's well being. I'm sure this can only go well. Lmao.

[bearshermark]

I'm gonna fucking die laughing oh my god please.

[weifinder]

lmf i feel like these two should have basic survival packs together for all members of the PC team by midmonth and make sure it's all distributed if you're up for that since...!!!

also share what you're learning about thralling, and also, please invite the necromancer along for your undead capturing because that sounds both fascinating and like a terrible plan, thanks (also he'd be invested in returning more awareness and has some insight to offer on what he's felt between the unhalad undead and the anurr undead)

[bearshermark]

Heck yeah! Survival supplies for everyone bros. Totally down 100%.

Also hey yeah, welcome aboard the terrible idea train, let's do this. 1 child of light, 1 sith lord and 1 cultivator try to undo the undead. What could go wrong.

Man these two are gonna be great friends.

[weifinder]

Maybe they can even officially announce something in the week after the move, who knows, team Help Squad on it here like you do!

Oh no I love this trifecta of bad idea people trying to get a sense for things, what will go wrong, can't wait to see

They are, watch him add Eleven to his unofficial child of mine count (he loves juniors, let him live)

[bearshermark]

Yes, a squad collecting the odd kindhearted individuals in the group to form a glue base for the rest xD the Good BEans!

[topoiran]

OH OH OH I know Moran talked with Eleven about it at one point, could we have him fix / handwave having fixed Xunxian's fan... not for free.

[bearshermark]

Yes! Though El might have argued being paid bc he's never worked with fans and fixing it would be a best effort type deal (though I think he's good enough to manage aftr he'shad time to study it)

[topoiran]

Aw YIS. He likes it, and it matches Moran's, never mind that it's literally so cold it's not usable as a fan...

He's just used to not being stingy with money when he does have it and this fan matters.

[bearshermark]

El is just nervous his repair wouldn't last, so in the name of an experimental fix... However, the boy is weak to food, so if Xunxian insists, he could accept enough coin for a hearty meal.

[topoiran]

That will definitely work! Xunxian will be cooking at the farm so that will likely help with the food, too.

[bearshermark]

Excellent, someone with actual proficiency thank

[topoiran]

:> the advantages to being neither a nobleman nor a hero.

[bearshermark]

f-feeling called out rn

[topoiran]

It's fine, he's calling out the love of his life, too.

But listen, he also wasn't allowed to learn sword fighting, hence... fan fighting...

[bearshermark]

GONNA FIX THAT HOL UP

[topoiran]

YES GOOD I mean Moran is primary teacher but Moran is. Distracted.

[bearshermark]

happy to help!
