PLAYER: Lynn
ARE YOU OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP: Yes - Plurk: raistlynn
A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: Working full time, replies might be next day or later in the evening.
YOUR LATEST SHOWER EPIPHANY THE WORLD MUST KNOW: I want more black cats.

CHARACTER: Hendrik
CANON: Dragon Quest XI
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: Tall broad tank like knight who is oath sworn to the Luminary. Despite being a tank he's actually really good with children and can come off more like a Dad. (ask the kids in Hotto)
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? They'd probably be on the receiving end of Hendrik's resting 'grr' face but he'd probably listen.

ii. What job would your character most majestically fail at? Strategy because he already did once or twice. He'd also fail at anything requiring subtlety.

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

WHAT’S YOUR CHARACTER BEEN UP TO, SO FAR? He just got here and is clanking after the Luminary. Really, he's 6'7 clad in all black armor with a two headed eagle. You can't miss this guy.

WHAT ARE YOU ITCHING TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER DO IN SA-HARETH NEXT? Nothing in particular, but please come talk to this guy, suggest books to read or better yet train with him or learn how to fight from him! He's a patient teacher so don't let the height or resting scowling face fool you.

You know how some folks are classed as 'tanks,' and then there's Hendrik, doing his God-given best to become an actual tank.

[unswervingcompanion]

He really does a great job! After the whole turning back time ordeal you go back and redo the mermaid thing and fight those mermaids that do the group magic things. (What a pain in the a--) They wiped out most of my main party (Sans Hendrik). So I called my back up team, the mermaids wiped them. Hendrik the last one standing and I beat them because he had the most health.

I was just so amazed and if it hadn't been for him I would've had to redo that whole fight over.

[downswing]

Hendrik coming thru, be like:

[unswervingcompanion]

Ya no kidding. He had only like 30 or 50 health left, but he was still standing. ^^

[darkeststars]

I absolutely cannot wait to introduce this huge man to this tiny asshole who's been hanging out with his Luminary the last few weeks. Arche has heard some secondhand things about Hendrik and has pre-decided that he's not impressed, so that should be fun. :D

[unswervingcompanion]

This will be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see Hendrik have to right the messes that the Luminary makes even if it's something as simple as not saying nice things about an oath sworn companion. (Versus a possessed king stating the Luminary's very birth caused mass death and destruction)

These two meeting will be very interesting, I'm looking forward to it ^^

[weifinder]

oh good time to meet Eleven's not!dad, he's so tall! also someone Wei Wuxian can spar because he's not a cultivator

... if Wei Wuxian had a sword

[unswervingcompanion]

Yes, Square just loves to make their boys so tall sometimes. But yes please let them meet up and Hendrik just so happens to know someone named Eleven who may have a spare blade ^^

[weifinder]

The being to spar thing without being wasted in five minutes is New and Reasons Why Non Cultivation Friends is important, probably, let's just not let Wangji see (I jest)

THANK YOU ELEVEN its unspiritual sword time, Hendrik!

[unswervingcompanion]

It's all good! I'll be tagging into Eleven's top level tomorrow so I will link you to their spar log if you'd like ^^

And woo! So looking forward to this!

[weifinder]

Hahaha sure, that would work well for me!

[bearshermark]

Pls, El would be happy to part with a blade to take a break from sparring Hendrik have fun

[weifinder]

Oh joy FUN TO BE HAD in a sadly nostalgic way where he's like why is the blade so lacking soul

[bearshermark]

Bc why would you keep souls in a weapon what

[weifinder]

bc it gained it's own soul!!! you don't just attach one, that's v rude--

[bearshermark]

Makes me wonder if he had a sword of light if those would register having souls xD but he doesnt so tough nuggets

[weifinder]

... i think probably tbh, but hey, at least it wouldn't consume their spiritual energy when it was being used, maybe

i don't remember if anything in game did actively consume... not even mp, but lmf more than stamina in sheer use
