Ergmik

[Imoutgoodbye]

This one's done.  Going to get some sleep, go to work tomorrow, and maybe roll something next week.  We'll see.

 

And, if you would be so kind as to keep the wise cracks to a minimum, I'd appreciate it.  I worked hard on building this character from the history to the 71 hours I put in to the 37 mastered skills and spells.

 

Shout outs for Pas and Leothyre.  Enjoyed you fellas immensely and found you interesting.

Keep it up man. Did you do a history for him we could see? Would love to know more about the character.

No judgment. Just good will, take a breath, take it easy, come back with some sick RP! If he's already done and gone, c'est la vie. If he's still floating around, give him another chance! Good luck with your next, Rev.

For the player of Leothyre:

Sorry to see you go, mate! I wish we had more of a chance to chat tonight. :/ I was wanting to see where the Answer/Question, was going. Look me up on your next character if Ergmik is for sure gone. Sorry to see the character not pan out for you like you had hoped. If you change your mind, there is always time for your soul to be saved, via a sermon or two!

Thank you and just for Mali, here's the history:

 

It is not uncommon for a young man to find love and lose love.

Such is life and all things heal with time.  Ergmik was one such

young man.  Yet, his story was not precisely of love.  Ergmik,

as luck would have it, was enamored with a woman nearly twice

his age.  In Miruvhor it is not uncommon for some women to take

the profession of a lady of the night.  It is uncommon for that

woman to be taken in by a noble as a kept lady.  This is perhaps

the highest one of this profession can rise.  Ergmik's family

just happened to live next door to this noble.  While Ergmik's

family was of low ranking nobility, with his father simply 

being a duke, so was the noble next door.  Perhaps this was why

Ergmik had daring dreams of freeing the woman.

 

The Lady, for her part, was fond of Ergmik.  He brought her

freshly picked flowers and was always asking her questions.

It was obvious to her that he was a virgin, but it had been

so long since anyone had given her such innocent flattery and

respect she didn't want it to end.  End it did, though.  

 

Nobility are not content to see their possessions taken or

used.  It was only a kiss, but a kept lady should not.

The noble had her throat slit and Ergmik poisoned.  Had

Ergmik not been a strapping young lad with a healthy

constitution, he surely would have died from the stroke

the poison caused.  The family could not take retribution

for their son or risk the disgrace of his desires for a

kept lady.  Ergmik, for his part, could say little.

Sentences would no longer come forth from his lips and

he was limited to but a few words at a time when speaking.

 

Personality:

 

Ergmik's mind has been damaged beyond just the inability to speak.

He possesses the ability to be loyal and reasonable, but his mind

is no longer firmly grounded in reality.  His biggest fear is

rooted in broken dreams due to the time stream being broken.  

There is no evidence the time stream is broken. Either his

memories have been jumbled from the stroke or on an instinctual

level Ergmik senses something most cannot.

 

Due to being unable to stay grounded in reality, Ergmik can be

difficult to reason with, his inability to speak frustrating 

him into rages when others cannot understand him.  This also

means his actions are not always predictable especially when

combined with his hallucinations.    

 

Purpose:

 

After being cast from his family home, Ergmik had a great deal of

thinking to do.  Unable to express himself, he began to slowly

lose his mind as his contact with society lessened. He clung

desperately to the image of the floating sphere, the religious

symbol his father often prayed to for wisdom and guidance.  The

symbol of knowledge and mysticism brought home by his grandfather,

a gift from a Herald artist.  The sphere was glowing with an

ominously soft blue light and lazy lines of lightning wandered

its surface.  

 

Ergmik, discovering that while his ability to speak was greatly

inhibited, found that his ability to write was still intact.

He set out solely for the purpose of joining the ranks of the

Heralds, despite the training in the dark arts all members

of his family received.

 

 

 

EDIT:  On a side note, I'm following up a job lead to hopefully land my first job at a college.
