NAME: Charlie W.

SPECIES: Human (Homo sapiens)

JOB/TITLE: Sprocketville, Southwest Kyngdom

APPEARANCE: Tall for his age (13), average build, curly dark brown hair always needs a haircut (except right after he gets one)

PERSONALITY: Never the first to speak up, but always the first to notice something

HOME: His parents' house, which his mom likes to say has the most natural light of any underground bunker in Sprocketville, thanks to its many skylights

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The machinist wing of the Cypher Labs dormitory, where he lives on a hall with the other gear-nerds. Needless to say it's not the cleanest wing in the building.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Dr. Sheepshank was the first adult he felt really took him seriously.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Marcus R., the best machinist at Cypher--and a full year younger than Charlie.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His titanium sprocket wrench set, a 13th birthday gift from Dr. Sheepshank.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Er, did you try hitting it with a hammer?

STRENGTHS: Inventiveness--at age 8, he built a working dishwasher from scratch.

WEAKNESSES: Confidence--he has trouble standing up for himself sometimes.

BACKGROUND: Charlie grew up in Sprocketville, a small bunker town in Southwest Kyngdom. He was lonely there, since there weren't many other kids around--but that gave him plenty of time to tinker with the smashed-up machines that lined all the roads in town. After he built an entirely new set of household appliances from scratch, word spread across Kyngdom. Eventually, Dr. Sheepshank recruited him to be part of the Cypher Labs team. His parents were sad to see him go, but he didn't think twice: this was his big break.

That is such a good idea! I am so sorry I did not post the thread, but I couldn't be on the CB much because I was travelling for winter break and wanted to spend time with my family. I'll post the thread as soon as possible. I'm really sorry for the delay!

(January 6, 2022 - 3:55 pm)

NAME: Yuri Pérez 

SPECIES: Shapeshifter (human to black-headed spider monkey)
GENDER/PRONOUNS: Genderqueer (maybe gender apathetic?). He/him mostly but any pronouns are ok with him. "Male-adjacent" is probably a good term.
JOB/TITLE: Spy in the Black Skull(works for the Sanukans)
APPEARANCE: 28-ish? years old. Somewhat curly dark hair that reaches just barely past their shoulders. Warm, very light brown skin. Slightly taller than average. Dark brown eyes with a sharp, animalistic look to them. He has an eyebrow slit on his left side. His most notable feature is a scar across the bridge of his nose. Generally wears casual-but-still-nice clothing, usually lighter button-downs and black or grey pants. Fond of combat boots. His ears are pierced but he usually only wears studs or no earrings at all. Has a septum piercing, but wears horseshoe-style piercing that are usually flipped up so they can’t be seen. Wears a rope necklace with a black arrowhead pendant.
As a monkey, he has all black fur and the same brown, sharp eyes. The scar stays as well. When he shifts he almost always removes any piercings he has in, as well as his necklace, so he is less recognizable.
PERSONALITY: Quick-witted, a deadpan snarker. Sarcastic, generally not very talkative. Intelligent in both street smarts and book smarts. Very rational and practical. A realist. Not much of an idealist, tends to look out mostly for himself. Willing to do a lot for the sake of survival, but even so he has lines he won't cross--still fairly morally grey. His dnd alignment would probably be true neutral, though he might lean slightly towards chaotic neutral. 
HOME: He was born in a small town in southwestern Kyngdom, and has a very small apartment there--but currently he's been staying in the Grasplands, in a Black Skull-owned house that he smuggles goods such as Brazen Goo out of.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Wherever the Black Skull has him assigned, which currently is in the Grasplands.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: He was fairly close to his father. Technically, he's allied with Sanukans (although that is a very tenuous and strained alliance.)
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Technically the Black Skull, although they have no idea and quite frankly he doesn't hate them all that much. He personally isn't a very big fan of the Sanukans, despite working for them, as he is considered a criminal by them.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His arrowhead necklace. It was a gift from his father.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: “Never go so far that you cannot find yourself.”--something his father used to tell him.
STRENGTHS: Intelligent, good with small blades and firearms, can shapeshift into a monkey, stealthy and is a good liar.
WEAKNESSES: He can't get rid of the scar when he shapeshifts, he's not exactly polite, most law enforcement (probably Resistance members as well) officers aren't fond of him. No experience with using two-handed or heavy weapons, or in fighting in an actual, large-scale battle. He can be a bit of a pushover at times.
BACKGROUND: His father, Andres Pérez, was from southwestern Kyngdom and was a fellow shapeshifter. His mother, Runa Skovrenska, was human (who likely had some Sanukan ancestry) from Northeastern Kyngdom. Runa became a merchant and while selling wares in Mer, met Andres. Runa lived with Andres for several years in his hometown, but not long after the birth of Yuri she moved back up north to be with her family. Andres raised Yuri himself. His father died of illness when Yuri was 16. Young, alone, and with no money, Yuri was forced to turn to crime. As a shapeshifter many different organizations wanted him for his espionage and disguising abilities. He ended up joining a group who smuggled unrefined Brazen Goo for the Black Skull (later on they would also end up supplying this to SOCS and BIG.) While transporting illegal goods to the north, the mission went awry and Yuri, as well as the other smugglers with him, were taken captive by Sanukan soldiers. (At this point, he was about 26 or so.) Yuri, who had already wanted to get out of the smuggling and organized crime lifestyle for the past year or so, agreed to become an informant/spy within the Black Skull on the Sanukans' behalf. After about two full years of this, he would be granted protection by the Sanukans from the Black Skull, and excused of his criminal record. He's almost completed with his two years of being an informant.

APPEARANCE: Tear Ivy is slender but strong in build, with thick, soft fur and long legs. Her fur is silver, with flecks of white and black mingled amongst. Her eyes are a bright green, like the color of newly sprouting leaves.

(disregard my earlier post from last year about Xia- I'm not going to use that charrie after all)

 

NAME: Eclipse Shadefriend

SPECIES: wolf. Just a wolf, definitely not descended from the holder of the Power of Howl.

JOB/TITLE: works as a mercenary and bounty hunter.

APPEARANCE: wolf with unusual midnight black fur. Eyes shimmer yellow, green, or orange in different light.

PERSONALITY: quiet and reserved, good at keeping secrets. Rather brave.

HOME: moves around a lot

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: taverns and inns, wearing a night-colored cloak.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: a little hummingbird named Quetzal, who tends to be prone to sudden mood swings. Usually chiding Eclipse for agreeing to a particular job.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: her younger sister, Scorchblaze. (Scorchblaze is rather small for her age, and has mottled light brown fur that glints orange and gold in firelight. Her eyes glitter malevolent orange/yellow.) and her father, Lightbane. (more about him in Background)

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: her cloak, particularly the silver pin holding it in place, which is engraved with the Shadefriend pack crest (a side view of a dragon with its wings stretched out in flight)

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: “well, that’s exactly how it goes.”

STRENGTHS: reasonably good at fighting, especially if being helped.

WEAKNESSES: doesn't listen to advice, particularly if it’s being given by a human

BACKGROUND: the Shadefriend pack used to be well-known among wolves, until the alpha, Shineforest, was killed by Eclipse’s cruel, greedy father, Lightbane. Under Lightbane’s rule, the Shadefriend pack was scattered. Lightbane tried to kill all possible heirs to his position. Eclipse barely escaped. (Scorchblaze made a deal with Lightbane, and promised to help Lightbane track down Eclipse.) Eclipse fled, eventually being found by Quetzal, the hummingbird, who taught Eclipse about how to quickly assess a situation and make logical decisions (Eclipse didn’t listen about the last one).

I know it's a little early but I'm going to post a character sheet here just because I think I need some time to get equated with writing on Kyngdom. I'll probably start an rp thread as well but just keep it to myself so I can get used to Kyngdom again haha. As well as maybe bring back some of my old charries? IDK. I might completely restart tbh. Anyway, here's my new charrie that I'll be using.

 

NAME: Doctor Yevgeniy “Genya” Mikhailovich Lipovsky (usually goes by Doctor Lipovsky)

 

SPECIES: Vampire of the Alekhin Line. (The Alekhin Line of vampires is a lineage of vampires that started in the northeast with the ancient vampire lord named Boris Alekhin. They are unrelated to the vampire lines of SailHaven, and as such have different abilities and culture.) He keeps his vampiric nature a closely guarded secret.

 

JOB/TITLE: A scientist, who specializes in Thanatology, the study of death (and in Kyngdom, necromancy.) He heads a laboratory called “Laboratoriya Nezhiti”. 

 

APPEARANCE:  Pale, almost cadaverous white skin. Thin and small, only about 5’6”. He has dark brown hair (nearly black, but not quite) that’s about chin length and is wavy. His eyes are usually a deep brown, but can turn to sudden sharp silver. He wears long overcoats and waistcoats, always dressing formally. His canine teeth are a bit too pointed for a human, but he is able to keep them hidden. Sometimes he ties his hair back into a short ponytail, usually when he’s working. He’s in his late twenties to early thirties. (Literally– despite being a vampire, he was actually turned rather recently and has not lived for hundreds of years or anything.)

 

PERSONALITY: INTJ. Brilliant and analytic, aloof at times and can be incredibly antisocial. He enjoys dissecting situations like they are data points, and sometimes removes emotion entirely from the equation. Lipovsky has a tendency to come off as pretentious or rude; he has no problem with pointing out flaws in others’ methodologies. Fiercely determined and curious. His primary goal is to study necromancy and the undead. He is highly organized as well as intelligent, but can struggle in highly emotional situations due to his general lack of connection with other people.

 

HOME: He was born in Ledyanaya, a nation to the northeast of Kyngdom. However, his family immigrated to Kyngdom when he was quite young. He now lives in a flat in the city of Mozgrad, which is located in northeast Kyngdom and boasts a high population of those from Ledyanaya.

 

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: His office in Laboratoriya Nezhiti.

 

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Doctor Konstantin Fedorov, the vampire who turned him; Doctor Isak Hansen, who runs Laboratoriya with him as well as attended University with him.

 

ENEMY OR RIVAL: He easily makes rivals in academia, however, Lipovsky doesn’t truly consider anyone his “enemy”.

 

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His cravat pin, which is decorated with rubies and made of steel and silver.

 

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: “Sapienta sola libertas est”, a Latin phrase meaning “Only wisdom is freedom.”

 

STRENGTHS: As a vampire, he has heightened senses and is generally able to avoid most diseases. He can also use echolocation to “see” in the dark and is able to go long periods of time without sleep. Lipovsky is also highly intelligent and has a lot of medical knowledge. He’s not actually a Doctor of medicine, but he can absolutely serve as a medic if needed. In addition, he has studied necromancy enough that he has a basic understanding of dark magic and how to use it, though he’s not exceptionally gifted with it. He does have the ability to heal at a faster rate than humans, but it’s not much faster.

 

WEAKNESSES: Anything that can hurt a person can indeed hurt Lipovsky. He’s especially vulnerable to silver– which his swift healing does not work on– and sunlight, which will burn him after about an hour of exposure. Light magic is also more effective on him, as are stakes and other traditional vampire slaying things.

 

BACKGROUND: Honestly, I managed to explain most of this by accident in the above sections. Lipovsky was born in Ledyanaya, but his family moved to Kyngdom when he was about three. He grew up in a small town in the Northeast. An exceptionally advanced student, Lipovsky entered a university within Mozgrad at the age of 16 (about a year before the beginning of the war.) Despite Catastrophe’s return, Lipovsky was still determined to complete his education and he did. During his time at the university, when he was in his twenties, he was turned into a vampire. He did this willingly as he wanted to study the undead personally, and what better way to do that than be undead yourself? Since then, he has opened up Laboratoriya and continued his research.

Name: Sachiko

Species: Monkey

Job: Monkey therapist and Southeast Kyngdom mascot

Home: Japan

Most often seen at: A SE Kyngdom university library

Friend or Mentor: Lunee

Enemy or rival: BIG

Favorite possession: A tire swing

Motto or favorite saying: If at first you don’t succeed... play in a tire swing.

Strengths: Nerdiness. Likes to study multi variable calculus in his free time, like that the gradient means the direction of fastest increase.

Weaknesses: Emotion. Can break down when someone mentions a lamb while eating lamb sausage.

Background: Grew up in Hokkaido, Japan, as a therapy Monkey. He didn’t fit in with his class of aspiring monkey therapists, because he would study calculus in his free time and that he took English at his local community college. One day, he got sucked into Southeast Kyngdom by a portal where a Nobyl family adopted him and made him Southeast Kyngdom mascot. He now lives a double life: half in Japan, half in Kyngdom.

Note: Sachiko is a Golden Lion Tamarin (a tribute to my normal CB name). Also, he has the power to shapeshift between a human that is as old as the human equivalent of his age and his normal golden Lion Tamarin form. He was 10 when he became part of Cypher labs and helped them with some of the technical difficulties using his knowledge of multivariable calculus.

Oh, also with the weaknesses, edit: Can break down when someone makes a joke about lamb when eating lamb sausage or when someon else is eating lamb sausage.
