[character posts] They'll save everyone of us

[JmOz]

I've posted some of these before, but I am going to repost them here so they are all in one place, as a character spends xp so we can see how they grow

 

First is Princess Iacammai

 

Background: Iacammai has been a slave sense the day she was born, her mother had been a slave as well for the majority of her life. Her people were taken over by the spider years ago and have been sold as slaves. They tend to make the best Navigators and pilots so many of the slaves find themselves forced to work in these jobs. Because of the high chance of escape the slaves tend to have an overseer nearby.

 

Iacammai would be the Princess of her world if the spiders had not conquered her people during the reign of her grandmother She has been slowly working to help her people escape there captors, She is currently owned by the Spider Queen, who enjoys tormenting Iacammai by reminding her of her heritage. However she has recently found out that she is to be sold to one of the Hawk people, who tend to use them as pleasure slaves, this has made her desperate for escape

Re: [character posts] They'll save everyone of us

 

character 4: Rex Manning

 

Background: Given his natural size and coordination, Rex was almost fated to become a high school jock. As a result, he basically skated through high school, never really being challenged to develop his mind. Now, as a college freshman, he's still a jock with a football scholarship, but is being challenged by his science teacher to do something more than just hope for a professional football contract. So far, he finds that he enjoys his time in the college physics lab almost as much as his time on the field.

 

Personality: Rex portrays himself as an easy-going good ol' boy, but is both driven and determined when he has a definite goal. He's also had it a bit easy in life so far, and thus is a bit overconfident and cocky at times.

 

Appearance: Ruggedly good looking. Has short-cropped blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and a short blonde goatee. He has an athletic build. He tends to favor t-shirts or flannel shirts, usually worn with jeans and cowboy or hiking boots.
