This is signup for the Roving Saws RP thread. (see link in next post)

2 Major Characters Available
Minor Characters Available

Sign up for the thread here. Please include a link to at least one previous RP in your post. Minor characters are easy to get, but major ones are more difficult. If you’ve been allowed a major character, you may choose your character from the list below. The descriptions are vague in some ways: consider it an opportunity to fill in the holes any way you like. Appearance, personality, history, etc.: you can fill them all in as you wish

Rebecca and Clockwork Mike count as one character. I reserve Khrra.
I have an ending in mind, but that doesn’t keep you from changing it. You have complete freedom with your characters, as long as your actions are in character.

In combat, Khrra is usually paired with Midget, Rebecca is always paired with Clockwork Mike, and Cog is almost always paired with Hazak. Khrra and Cog are the band’s founders.

Khrra- (Khrrck) A shrewd, old, copper Wyrm, Khrra is the leader of the Roving Saws. She is an expert with the massive, traditional Wyrm sawbow, and prefers it to more modern weapons.

Mak’at “Midget” Makharakat- The largest mercenary in the company, Midget is still small compared to his own kind. A dragon standing a mere ten feet long, he prefers using his natural weapons, even though he’s small enough to handle Wyrm or modified human weapons.

Derik Mole- (BlueRaeven) An old, grey-bearded nuHuman, from the Mole clan. Like his namesake, he has a talent with rocks and earth, and practices the geomantic magic which can make soil flow as if molten and allow him to mold rock with his bare hands. Unfortunately, he also shares the faults of the mole. Although he can easily find his way underground, and sometimes above it, by touch and instinct alone, he is almost blind above ground. If he must fight, he prefers to use a hammer and his magic.

“Cog”- A young Jzna, knowledgeable in the science of gears and punch-cards, Cog knows how to operate thaumechanical engines and other machinery. He dislikes fighting and generally prefers serving as an engineer (or, in a pinch, a medic). Nobody in the company is quite sure whether Cog is his given name.

Hazak- (Ravea) A young black Wyrm, Hazak is the newest addition to the Roving Saws. Unlike the older Wyrm in the company, he enjoys trying new and ingenious ways to kill people. At any one time he’s usually sporting three or four of Khr’s newest, most exotic guns. He’s almost permanently paired with Cog: not only does he pack enough firepower for three people, but his weapons also have an unfortunate habit of breaking down.

The topic can be found here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=8713041#post8713041).

The adventure will be set in Aela (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Aela). The linked document may be slightly dated and not reflect the current incarnation of Aela. All questions asked will be resolved.

I'm interested, but could I make my own character? If not I'll do one of yours. And Don't worry, I'm not a newb, nor a n00b, just posting under a puppet

I can swap out characters fairly easily. I just chose this method so that things would fit in easily with the world. If you want to create your own character, feel free- just remember that I may change it so that it fits with the world.

Since my puppet dissapeared in the problems we were having the other day, I'll post under my normal nations name. I have participated in several Rp's I will post one for reference, cause the other closer one that ended sort of normally dissapeared due to corruption, and posting the thread where we continued it wouldn't make much sense.

The character I would like to have would be a new mercenary out of this school. Her name is Bridget 'Wolf' Medb, aged about 16. She was a trainee under the specialty school of scout sniper. Along with her she has a wolf named Albion. Her specialty weapon is a crossbow, with a sidearm of a Colt Dragoon Pistol. She can survive undetected for weeks deep in enemy territory.

What school? Read the background, please.

Her specialty weapon is a PSG-1, with a sidearm of a Colt M1911A1.

Make that a crossbow and a revolver of approximately Western vintage. This isn't exactly modern tech.

Ok I'll do the crossbow. And the link i posted is the school. If you want a quick summary, the school is split inot two parts, Boot camp and Specialty school. The students are taken from when they are about 4-5 and trained baisically like it's boot camp until they are 7. Where they enter their specialty school.

I'm sorry, but Aela is seperate from the world of NationStates. I'm afraid you can't do that. You need to use an Aela native. READ THE BACKGROUND INFO!

Hazak is particularly appealing to me. Mind if I join in?
Khrrck

I have zero participants, so go ahead. In fact, I need more people. Know anyone you'd care to invite? I'd pretty much given up on this, but I'd be willing to ressurect it if I can get enough participants.

Hello? Anyone? We need at least four more players.

Ravea, could you TG me your AIM? Jolt won't give it to me.

I would be interested in playing Aisha, a mercinary whose primary weapons are katanas and other swords, sais, throwing stars... shinobi type weapons.
She's around 34 and has been a mercinary and assassin for most her life.

I would love to get in on this but the timing is bad. I'm leaving for vacation soon, but if there's still an opening in two weeks (doubtful) I'll gladly fill it.

An interesting fight scene here that goes on over quite a few posts, although since they were done at days apart I didn't see them in a string and now I see I used the words 'cold dread' a little too much.

The Roving Saws are heading for Crater City (in fact they've almost arrived) running from the law enforcement of the eastern plains after the recent assassination of the Archmage of Kstria and the destruction of rather large amounts of property in the process. Right now, they're trying to get re-equipped and find another job to go after.

Aisha--Dragon/human: pilot. Many powers of verying strengths. She travels looking for mercinary work and other work if the price is right. She usually travels alone, but is getting sick of traveling alone all the time. She appears as a human. She has fire breathing powers. She is thousands of years old and very intelligent and wise. She's an old friend of Khrrck. She is at times, very moody.

SOME CHANGES IN CHARACTER approved by Khrrck

Lotus--Dragon/human: Pilot. She flys a very fast small aircraft. Many planets have not seen anything that flys, so she tries to land out of sight. Many powers of verying strengths. She travels looking for mercinary work and other work if the price is right. She usually travels alone, but is getting sick of traveling alone all the time and looking for partners. She appears as a human, but can change into a dragon. She has fire breathing powers. She is thousands of years old and very intelligent and wise. She carries tons of weapons she has collected over the years from all the planets she has visited. She dresses in black and wears a black cape to cover all the weapons, and has a black belt holding many of her weapons. Her hair is waist length and fuschia. She's an old friend of Khrrck.

I'll post a few times through the story, but you may find Cog is slightly shifting to the person I would like him to be :D If that's too awkward I'll understand, but for one thing his accent is going to become quite strong and he'll be tinkering with strange things alot more.
