Description

My application for a wonderful new, MMORPG inspired group. You should all add it to your watch.....just saying. <.<
Critiques/comments are appreciated on both the text and overall character design; mostly the text, though, because I'm not sure where my brain was when I was writing half of it. //OTL Which may explain why it got to be so long...
Anyways, Fire Alliance, meet your geeky, brotherly leader~ He loves you all! (Even if you don't love him.)

- Incendiary Daggers: By fusing daggers with fire energy, Damas is able to create projectiles with explosive properties. Once thrown, these daggers become a time-bomb that will set off after approximately four to seven seconds, and create an explosion with a radius effected by the amount of MP used. Because of the range the damage varies depending on where the target is standing in relation to the bomb.
- Burning Blade: Damas' sword ignites with violet fire, boosting his attack power and allowing him to pierce through most metal-based armour because of the intense heat. There is a 50% chance of the target becoming burned. This is an ability that will continuously drain MP until it hits 0 or Damas calls off the move.
- Dragon Bite: A simple sword slash that has an 80% chance of burning the target and, when successful, steadily drains small amounts of HP until the flame dies out. Burn damage is doubled on ice-type species, and ineffective on water-types.
- Flaming Spirit: Giving a small pep talk Damas raises his allies' and his own speed and attack power. (As an extra it can potentially create motivation among the group; though that's nothing stat-inducing.)

{ T } I T L E: Dragon King
{ O } C C U P A T I O N: Fire Alliance Leader
{ H } P: 100

{ I } N V E N T O R Y:

- Simple Daggers (x10) :: For throwing use. Damas has a habit of using these frequently and therefore tries to always have a good number on hand.
- Short Sword :: Damas' weapon of choice; it's blade is made with special materials that make it able to withstand the white fire he'll sometimes use. He's not much of the stealthy assassin and will end up using this more than he probably should.
- MP Potion (x2) :: A safe guard for battles when he needs to replenish his MP quickly.
- Lucky Charm :: A pendant Damas bought from some shady merchant that's supposed to bring him luck; he can't figure out if it's actually working....
- Smoke Bombs (x5) :: Useful for quick escapes.
- Burn Heal (x2) :: With how much he accidently ends up burning himself (and his teammates) Damas started to keep these on hand.

In Game:::
TEA is the place in which Connor feels that he can be who he's always wanted to be; the cool kid. Online he transforms into Damas: the mysterious, regal leader of the fire alliance.
Intentionally, Damas rarely shows his emotions and comes off as calm, collected and confident. He never panics and always seems to say the right things. But because this is really only an act, it's bound to crack at times and reveal Connor's easily-excited self: which is bound to come as a surprise to those who have only seen the collected side of him.
And though he may come off as standoff-ish Damas is really a big softie. His alliance is his family in which he sees himself as the dedicated older brother, and he will go out of his way to help any member who asks anything of him. Oftentimes these missions will bring out the emotions inside of him, making him easily flustered and unwilling to admit to being embarrassed, happy, sad or angry.

Damas is a fighter through and through. Battles bring him excitement, and they are the perfect way to let off any built up steam. And even though he is an assassin, Damas rarely stays to the shadows. No, it's much more his style to be up in the front lines along with the warriors and offensive mages. Because of this passion he often forgets just how weak he can be in comparison to the other classes; revealing recklessness that contrasts with his personality. (Good thing he has such high HP) And though this is true, when it comes down to it Damas can be level-headed and reveal  a more strategic side.

Personality Summarized :: (+) Confident, (+) Level-headed, (+) Intelligent, (+) Brotherly, (-) Rash, (-) Insecure, (-) Awkward when flustered, (-) Hides emotions

In Real Life:::
To put it simply, Connor is a very geeky and adorkable person. He's the guy that people go to when they don't understand a lecture or are having computer problems; when it comes to book-smarts he has enough for two people. Having earned his intelligence from years of studying (and impressive memorization skills) Connor had unconsciously isolated himself from the world and often faces the results of his nonexistent social life. Gosh, this kid is awkward. Especially around girls; he just doesn't know how to keep a conversation moving!
But what he lacks in social skills, Connor makes up with his heart. He is one giant sweetheart and is always ready to help out anyone who needs his help. This is very much like his online self, except in real life Connor is much more open and kinder towards other people. Having been ridiculed as a nerd during his middle and high school years he is more than excited to be there for anyone who asks anything of him. A warm, accepting person by nature his little sisters would be very lucky people -if he had any siblings, that is.

But to be honest, most of this persona is built around loneliness. Connor has VERY few real life friends, and feels for this reason that he isn't a good person. He hides these insecurities and fears behind a smiling mask that has taken years to perfect; and he sometimes can't help but wonder if he's lost himself and forgotten who the real Connor Lloyd is.

Personality Summarized :: (+) Intelligent, (+) Kind-hearted, (+) Accepting, (+) Great memory, (-) Awkward, (-) Lacks social skills, (-) Lonely, (-) Alone/Feels Fake

{ H } I S T O R Y:
Born and raised in a small community in Wales by a pair of loving parents Connor was a very lucky child. A prominent value in his home growing up was intelligence, and since the moment he could speak Connor would receive books and other learning tools as presents -his parents agreeing that ordinary, childish toys were beneath their son. And when Connor finally started grade school their efforts were rewarded.
A genius, Connor was surprisingly well-liked by his peers and made a number of friends. And though his parents did not approve of all of them, they allowed the friendships to last having dubbed them "necessary life experiences". All throughout elementary and most of junior high, Connor loved going to school and even become top of his class. That is, until he was asked to skip his eighth grade year. He hadn't wanted to leave all of this friends, but his parents excitedly forced him, thinking this to be an amazing experience for their little boy. (And of course they could brag to other members of the family) And so, he skipped and moved to the high school building, and that's when things started to fall apart.

Connor became ridiculed by his peers because of his brain and the age difference; everyone already had wonderful friends, why waste their time with the new kid? Someone else could be bothered to deal with him! Only....-no one ever bothered. Through that entire year Connor worked harder than he usually would, hoping to be accepted, but acceptance never came. Never seeing them anymore he lost his old friends, and was never given the chance to make new ones.
As they years passed things got a little better, and that was only because people started figuring out that he could help them out with schoolwork. Connor didn't mind, of course, because even if it was for help with homework people were talking to him -and he ate it up. But as the years passed the whole in his heart was never filled.

In his last year of high school everyone was always excitedly chatting about a new social-networking game that was sweeping across the nation. Connor had never been one for games -his parents always afraid that it would take his mind away from his schooling- but for some reason he was drawn to this one. With a little persuasion he managed to get his parents to buy the game for him, and so he logged on for the first time.

And that's when the realization came.
In this game, no one would know who he is. He didn't have to be the genius that his parents expected him to be, he could be -dare he even think it- cool! This character of his could maybe even be liked, and he could have friends again! And so Damas was born, and Connor felt like he was finally part of a community. He spent more time online and less time studying -but still enough time studying to keep his grades up for his parent's sake- and managed to climb the ranks of the Fire Alliance.

Graduation came more quickly than he was expecting, and soon enough Connor enrolled in University with the intention of expanding his computer knowledge. Expecting his high school years to continue to haunt him, it was amazing when he found out that there, in real life, no one cared about anything he was in the past. It was a fresh slate. Just as his experience in TEA had been.
But still Connor continued with his online persona, much too attached to the game and its citizens to think of quitting any time soon. Because even as life got better, he still felt that the only place he could truly live was online.
Now he lives alone, on campus, juggling schoolwork, his job at the local bookstore and his time online. Of course, though, he balances his priorities a little differently than before with The Element Alliance taking precedence.

{ E } X T R A S:
- Though Connor's username is primarily a pun on his name, it also hints towards the fact that he he's always burying his true feelings and by doing so, unintentionally deceiving people.
- In university he is majoring in computer sciences and is taking a Shakespeare-concentrated English class. Connor is a bit of a Shakespeare nerd.
- TEA has greatly influenced Connor and made an MMORPG-lover out of him. He secretly hopes to be able to run his own game like TEA one day.
- He's crazy superstitious. If you're looking to get him to act a certain way, it's best to use this to your advantage.
- Fighting, Damas' style is based on quick thinking and movement. He tends to take a lot of hits, so his high HP is crucial.
- To strangers and most players Connor likes to be called by his screen-name, Damas. He only tells his real name to people who he really cares about.

{ R } P S A M P L E:
Script:::
Damas: *he stared intently into the soldier's eyes, nodding contently to see that his speech was having an effect* There is weakness in all of us, so I am able to find it in my heart to forgive you. But cross this alliance again and I'm afraid I will have to be cruel, and I'm sure you don't want that. Do you understand, solider? *the wide-eyed nod from the criminal was reassurance enough, and with a soft smile he patted the boy's head* Good.

Paragraph:::
"T-This is amazing!" Almost speechless, Damas was greatly impressed by the light show that contrasted beautifully against the darkened, night sky. "To think such a wonder exists in this world.....quick! Someone take a picture,  I want to remember this moment forever!" As he spoke rapidly -words dripping with excitement -Damas quickly came to realize that no one was doing anything he asked because they were too busy staring at him in confusion with expressions that clearly shouted 'is this man really the mysterious, level-headed alliance leader we've heard so much about'? Embarrassed by this slip in character he becomes flustered and determined to set things right. "I-I mean, fire mages are really something, are they not?"

Be afraid...be very afraid! :mwahaha:
This is the first picture in your gallery that I haven't commented on yet!
I have a feeling that you told me that I could skip this one and that's why it's not in my inbox, but I've changed my mind!

Carter Number 1: let's see what you originally designed him to be like. xD
I believe I told you this when you designed him, but I love the fact that he's wearing a batman shirt. And the fact that he wears a beanie. And I just find him surprisingly attractive~ (maybe it's the hair xD).
Damas looks quite badass, and you came up with yet another freakishly creative design. I mean, he just looks so cool! And the fact that her only has one sleeve... that's so you. xD
And leader of the Fire Alliance - all too fitting.

I had to read through his bio because it has been so long, but you did a great job designing his character. His personality, the way he became to be the way he is, his parents, how he got into gaming...it was all really interesting to read!

I'm sad to see that TEA didn't work out in the end, because I would have loved to see more of this guy, but I can hold onto the hope that is Lullaby-Moon. xD
