Cross

Introduction "This world got a whole lot stranger then even I thought it might get." Just another lonely broken hero Picking up the pieces of my mind Running out of faith and hope and reason I'm running out of time Running out of time - Ozzy Osbourne, Running Out of Time. The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do. - Unknown OOC Information: Cross started his time on City of Hope, as a sorcerer with enchantment and pyrokinesis. Since his creation date of 05/31/12, he has grown far away from what the typist ever intended him to be. Originally, I had a few major goals for this character. Forever single. Rigid and unbending stance on his beliefs. The stereotypical character with a dark past that haunts and defines them. Cross was supposed to be a blindly fanatical vampire slayer that hunted them down mercilessly and ended them. It was in my very first scene with a 'innocent' vampire that I realized that was -not- going to happen, as the character sprouted his own mind and decided he was going to have a different system of beliefs then I'd originally intended. Over the months, Cross developed his own system of dealing with evildoers, and his very own faith tailored to his lore of knowledge of the various WOD spheres. Characters that click with me like Cross have a way of sticking with me for years. Cross developed into a Mage mid-July of 2012, and has since been adjusting to his role. I have never played a mage before, and much of the learning curves for Cross ICly were learning curves for me as well, which made those scenes extra special to play out. He needed to learn that he was no longer a big fish in a small pond, but was now a big fish in an ocean of enemies, many of them only perceived NPC threats. Paradox, Umbral spirits, and the ever lurking presence of the technocracy coming after any large and vulgar displays of magic. And the final major alteration to the perceived plan of Cross was the introduction of a wraith named Leila. Cross, for the first few scenes involving Leila, actually had no clue she was even there. It was when another character ICly brought it up to me that I OOCly even realized I was being 'haunted'. A chance encounter between two characters, and indeed two players, that had never planned their alts to be together has led to one of the best pair-ups I've ever had the pleasure of playing with. It has shaped Cross far from where I expected him to be, and given him a depth that I rarely get to enjoy in my PCs. [ edit ] Stereotypes Wise Hermit Did you hear about that old abandoned church?
