Gilles is nearly always found in their disguised form at birth, a masculine leaning Fin'ullen. Life Story Gilles was born to a lower-class family in Ithania. They spent their formative years as a young servant. As they grew older, Gilles developed a nosy investment into the ongoings of the local Ithanian nobility. Through their work, they were in a unique position to investigate into the corruption and hypocrisy hiding behind closed doors. What started as a passing interest in a hidden diary or a forgotten garment gradually developed beyond secret love affairs, and into the grander schemes and collusions that run rampant throughout Ithanian society. They always ran into the same problem, though: They had no one to tell, and no one could do anything to bring about any change. As Gilles came of age, a series of strange visions and dreams tormented them, bringing about mixed senses of confusion, excitement, and dread. On one hand, these visions proposed a much more intricate and effective way to further their aims. On the other, their entire identity was put into question. In the weeks leading towards their eighteenth birthday, they spiraled in self-doubt. Who were they, really? Did they even exist? How could they expect others to live with integrity if they, themself, lived a lie? No matter how much they dreaded it, their eighteenth birthday came and went, and the premonitions were confirmed. In the months that followed, Gilles set aside their internal struggle, instead focusing on the moralistic mission they'd set for themselves prior. They enrolled in the local university of law, working to better their own understanding of judicial and bureaucratic matters. They emerged from the college with a degree in law and an overwhelming frustration with the barriers they continued to face, the corruptions within the system. This frustration brought them to leave Ithania altogether and seek out work in places still salvageable. Their travels have brought them to Regalia.
@Caelamus Minimal changes with recent Ability/Pack alterations. I don’t think it needs a re-review but I will ping you anyways :). Here’s a pretty list: - Traded Vandalism for Disguise Pack. - Updated Pistol Pack’s ability. - Recategorized thot pack into Society instead of Arcanology.
@Caelamus Come the Slizzar rework, it's that time again. I don't think this needs a review per the announcement but enjoy your ping. Changes listed below for documentation's sake: STR: +1 Point (0->1) - Added Thin Blades pack CON: +1 Point (1->2) - Added Thread Craft pack WIS: -1 Point (3->2) - Added Grauwald pack DEX: Pack changes, -1 Point (4->3) - Forgery and Stealth packs removed - Replaced Puretek pack MAG: - CHA: Pack changes (6->6) - Exchanged Saboteur for Dignitary pack - Renamed Husbandry as Presence Other: - Abilities changed to reflect Thin Blades & Puretek purchases - Added a line in Life Story to explain Grauwald pack
@Caelamus ok im giving into the itch. i think it would be fun to play a silven so this character is now a beauty silven. this will be my last change for the foreseeable future (until the inevitable prof/race/silven rework in however many months/years). changes: STR: - CON: - WIS: - DEX: - MAG: - CHA: - Other: - Character Information changed to reflect eye color. - Added a line in Life Story expanding their time with the Grauwald. I'm keeping this pack because I think (?) slizzar can hide affliction eyes, and it adds an additional layer of everyone's favorite character facet: trauma. - Added Indirect Beauty Silvenism to Abilities.
@Caelamus I spoke too soon on that last one. With the Silven update, I have decided to change their Arken-parent, which has in turn brought me to overhaul the life story and drop some point investments. These should be set until some serious development happens that causes me to actually invest the non-assigned points. Changes: STR: - CON: - WIS: -2 Points (2->0) - Removed Hoterie - Removed Grauwald Neither of these align with the new vision for the character so they have been yoinked. DEX: +1 Point, Pack Changes (3->4) - Removed Puretek - Added Longneck MAG: - CHA: +1 Point, Pack Changes (6->7) - Added Stupid Luck - Changed Mount to base Horse - They haven't been to (and won't be allowed in) Sassrakkand so it doesn't make sense for them to have the funny shapeshifting one. Other: - Changed name to their primary/OG shift. It doesn't make sense to me for them to have a Slizzar name after having literally no interaction with Slizzar beyond the dreams. - Overhauled Core Concept to be Slizzar espionage with a twist. - Near complete re-write of Life Story. I got a bit lazy at the end, but the reasons why they do what they do have been inverted.
@Caelamus Updated for Firearms / Melee revisions. Changes: STR: Pack Changes - Removed Thin Blades pack (byebye) - Added Duelist pack CON: - WIS: - DEX: Pack Changes - Removed Pistol pack (byebye) - Removed Longneck pack (byebye) - Added Sniper pack - Added Recurve pack - Added Suppressant pack (finally invested that floating 4th point in DEX) MAG: - CHA: - Other: - Updated Abilities as needed.
@Caelamus It's been a second. Doing some upkeep with recent Slizzar changes: STR: - CON: - WIS: - DEX: Pack Updates - Removed Recurve Pack (it no longer exists) - Added Purity Pack MAG: - CHA: Pack Updates - Removed Dignitary Pack (it no longer exists) - Added Diplomat Pack - Removed Dumb Luck Pack (i just picked it for funsies before) - Added Saboteur Pack Other: - Updated Abilities as needed.
