"Sig"'s page

Hey all! I'm posting my application to join in as Sig, The Alchemist!

Character Death It happens! If I can rejoin as another character coolbeans, if not, I will always fondly remember how things went terribly for me. Sometimes the best stories are the terrible ones after all.

Joining Later No problemo, but would need to be brought up to speed. Haven't done Runelord before.

Maps and Combat I have no preference and am fine either way.

[Sig's Character]: Sig has always been something of an odd duck. He reveres his alchemy and the potential it brings above anything else his family or culture ever tried to instill in him. He's not especially fond of nature (Though he doesn't mind it) he isn't especially whimsical, and he isn't a very good singer either, much to his father's disappointment.

But Sig is crafty and very intelligent. He spends ages at a time researching and learning more and more about his craft. Sig is determined to be the best. But unfortunately, Sig also has something of a screw loose. He's fiercely paranoid, always worried about what might be around the next corner. This hasn't been helped by the fact that he was exiled from his homeland for "Perverse Interest in things better left alone." something that he still feels is unjust.

Sig is NOT a bad person, at all. In fact he believes he is a good person at heart, and he tries to be. But he is also impartial and removed at times, a trait that has served him well in furthering his understanding of the alchemical world and the cruel impartiality of the universe at large, but has also left him a bit distant and cold. He really does tend to flip between "Cold and detached" and "Hot headed and passionate." at times, especially when he is incredibly excited about something.

Sig has a few goals at hand. His first is survival. He has been left with very little of his original life and prestige, and wants to rebuild. In fact he wants a better lab where he can explore the mysteries of life, death, and the universe.

But he also has another issue. Upon exposure to his fantastic mutagen, Sig's physical abilities can be augmented to incredible levels, with a catch. The dangerous chemicals have unlocked a second persona inside of Sig, a persona that calls its self "Gallows" and sees its self as a champion for good and a vicious enemy against the forces of evil. Over time "Gallows" has been exerting more and more influence on the alchemist, even almost compelling him to acts of violent altruism. The lack of control and the knowledge that someone always is watching him (Even if it is himself technically) motivates the elf to finding a way to be rid of his second self.

Basic Outline and Future
So I am building Sig to be half Mad Lobber alchemist, and half generalist. He'll be good at ranged DPS eventually, and also provide support and utility to the group with extracts and specialized bombs.

Hope you like! This alias has additional information like crunch in the profile.

CoT Character Application

Sig is the not especially safe combination of jumpy and trigger happy. He's been drawn to alchemy all of his life and has spent countless decades studying his craft. He's spent just as long or longer convinced he's on to something, and that who or whatever he is onto is out to stop him from possibly learning what he may or may not be onto learning about.

Contrary to his appearance, Sig is actually an elf. Most people tend to think he's human at first glance because the points of his ears were blasted right off after an unfortunate incident he refuses to acknowledge may or may not happened. Sig is actually a fairly nice guy, but also paranoid. Since the incident that took the points of his ears, his hearing isn't quite as good as it used to be, which may be a contributing factor. Now he can't hear as much, and it plays tricks on his mind.

Sig is a Male Elf Alchemist and true Neutral, and he has the Hard of Hearing drawback. His campaign trait is Conspiracy Hunter. He is dedicated to learning the truth. All truth.
