Hey, I'm actually creating a character for once!

This is pretty roughly sketched out at the moment--there's no ascension story or really much in the way of a personality, just the hook and powers. At the moment I have other stuff I'm working on so if someone else feels like adopting and developing the character, that's totally cool. I figured I'd just toss what I have up in case someone's interested in developing them further.

Brega the Beastwalker


That's what I've got so far. R/G nonbinary ogre druid that changes into various beasts, and likes spooking people at harvest festivals.

Needs fleshing out, obviously, but there's something here that I really like--the monster-as-queer thing, the more spooky and creative aspects of r/g... I almost want to find a way to bring in some old folk songs about wizard battles that involve lots of transformations (like the different transformation stuff in The Sword and the Stone/The Once and Future King, or the transformation scenes in The Box of Delights...) but couldn't quite figure out a way to work it in here.

Anyway, yeah, here's this character basically. [shrug]

Who are you and what have you done with Keeper! I DEMAND ANSWERS!!!

Anyway, assuming you actually are Keeper (!!!), this character is just in time for Halloween! Which I find hilariously awesome.

Like you said, though - not very fleshed out, but definitely intriguing. An ogre, too - so that's new. I like the take on shapeshifting, here, as an art form. Powerful, but non-violent (or at least, violent in non-harmful to sapients way.)

Like always with me, I would love to see a story, or at the very least, a more fleshed out dossier.

Seems fun! Thanks for posting!

I like the Halloween "boo!" aspect.

Yeah I'd had this character bouncing around for a while and then it sort of combined with the autumn weather coming on here and turned into like sort of a spooky halloween monster character...

But I also wanted zin to be not like Ashiok--not something totally inhuman, just someone that effectively loves putting on costumes and scaring people a little.

A goth, basically, in other words, I guess :P

I guess my issue at the moment is figuring out where to go with zin. I've got this kernel of an idea but not really a sense of what to do with it.

For the record, we have seen an Ogre planeswalker, and in fact, one is sort of ad hoc in the archives. He is, however, quite dead. (Dead Man 'Walking, if you're curious.)

Anyway, Keeper, there's not a lot to go on yet, but I'm interested in what we're seeing so far. Actually, I think the interaction with Lord Luna's new 'walker would be pretty interesting!

I think zie fits an interesting slot in the archives that could use a bit of fleshing out in general--namely, people who like to duel, or in zir case wrestle. We have a distinct need, in my opinion, for people who could be thrown into a Tournament Arc together, basically :P

Because there always needs to be a Tournament Arc.

Always.

Thanks for the encouragement, all :D

Congratulations, this one will now forever be linked to the goth dance from South Park.

Interestingly......

I had an idea in mind for an ogre planeswalker called "Methinks", who kinda looks like a cross between a werewolf and Pumpkinhead, but with a more human facial appearance. He is semi-telepathic, and refer's to himself in the third person (ironically) when he talks to himself out loud about what " Methinks" about other creatures/people he encounters.

i.e. " Me thinks they will be afraid, this time"

If We combine this personality-ish trait with your guys shadow frollikcking tendancies.....

Kinda like... He's sensing the fear of the people he scares, but on such a deep level as to be telepathic.

Now you have me wanting that, too.

Anyway, it's good to see you creating, Keeper. There's not much I can say about the character, because while I can see clearly what you're going for, it doesn't speak to me personally.

A non-binary planeswalker that happens to be a theatrical shapeshifter. Is very interesting.
