Tell us a bit about your RP experience to date: Been on Furcadia since 2002, but took a long hiatus until the end of 2017 when it seemed right to jump back in.
Why are you interested in joining the dream? I've been lurking in the dream and RPing a few nights in a row, and have thoroughly enjoyed the setting and other players.

(Strengths / Resistances) / Weaknesses
Strengths:
      1. Lightning magic
      2. Physical damage output
      3. Straight-line speed
Resistances:
      1. Destructive magic
         - Magic intended to break down Red's corporeal body; lightning, fire, ice, etc.
         - Tangential effects, like ice's property of restricting motion, are still effective. Fire, used right, can interfere with his thermal vision in lieu of the damage it would normally inflict.
         - The only exception to the above is with respect to lightning. Electricity normally causes burns and musculature to seize and convulse, but because of Red's relationship with the sword this element is almost totally null against him. If Fravashi is absent, the tangential effects are mitigated but not null.
      2. Healing magic
         - Magic intended to restore Red's corporeal body. He's stuck mostly relying on his natural healing factor. If this magic is explicitly holy in properties, it actually causes harm.
         - The only exception to this is Red's ability, "Cautery" (see Abilities)
      3. Utility magic
      4. Poison
Weaknesses:
      1. Holy magic
      2. Attacks from extreme close range
      3. Conventional blindness
      4. Extreme heat sources (vision interference; see Abilities)

Possessions
Weapons*

• Weapon: Warscissor
  Description: Custom twin swords, 7 feet each, with a slight inward curve, designed to freely connect and swivel just above the grips to form massive scissors or to separate for independent use
• Weapon: Fravashi
  Description: A classical broadsword, functioning more like a short sword relative to his size. Imbued with the soul of a lightning sprite, Faravahar, that grants him a moderate degree (and nearly all) of his magical ability.
• Weapon: Odachi (one 6' and one 12' overall)
  Description: Not actively carried, Eastern single-edged swords of extreme length for average swordsmen but less so at his scale. Originally intended for defeating cavalry on open battlefields, Red only takes one of these into battle with ample notice in advance and with the expectation of heavy opposition.

*Red maintains a modest personal armory. Nothing therein has any magical properties except for Fravashi. See RPR for more examples.

Armor

• Armor: Standard Loadout
  Description: Visible pauldrons, gauntlets, and boots, entirely practical in design. Patches of steel lining secured within layers of mail and leather along various parts, designed to balance protection with subtlety; for inviting oncoming blows that he can safely take and trap/grapple his attackers. (RPR for details.)

Trinkets / Items (owned or worn):

• Item: Misc.
  Description: Wine skin, coin purse, hemp bandages, whetstone and a small bottle of blade oil

Abilities
Natural Abilities

• Ability: Genetic
  Description: Flight via wings, raw physical damage output and resistance
• Ability: “Serpentine”
  Description: Two-piece lower jaw may unhinge via quadrate bone and forward fangs are retractable to aid in the consumption of large prey, though used mostly as an intimidation tool
• Ability: “Soulless”
  Description: An empty vessel trapped in the mortal plane, Red's pairing with the sword Fravashi has led to a fusion between himself and the lightning sprite, begetting a gradual increase in Red's native magical potency and bond between the two creatures; but at the expense of his natural eyesight (“Eyes I dare not meet in dreams”), his dual-tone voice (“Terror Song”), and withering restraint of his more violent instincts.
• Ability: “Terror Song”
  Description: His natural speaking voice is an amalgam of two tones: one a deceptively soothing baritone and the other a lower ethereal rasp. This duet becomes more stark and intense with certain emotions and can be deliberately, significantly amplified.

Learned Abilities:

• Ability: “Eyes I dare not meet in dreams”
  Description: A side-effect of “Soulless” and his pairing with Fravashi, Red has been rendered blind. Through intense focus and training, Fravashi's potency has been manipulated to derive an alternative vision tailored primarily to infrared. This form of vision has been functional for centuries at this point and is quite effective, but still has limitations. It gives him a distinct advantage in most settings that complements his skillset, but at the cost of the resolution and detail that normal vision affords. While literate, he cannot see to read or write. Extreme heat sources can distort his perception of the environment, although heat poses little physical threat.
• Ability: “Cautery”
  Description: He can channel his electrical magic through open wounds and burn them shut. The process is rather painful, despite his resistance to the element, because he's literally turning his offensive magic against himself. The more serious the wound, the more time and energy needed to perform the task and the more painful it is. Mostly useful for repairing wing punctures and minor wounds.
• Ability: “Imbuement”
  Description: Fravashi's element can be focused and charged into any or all of his extremities or other weapons, temporarily granting them the same damaging effects on contact.
• Ability: Combat Instructor
  Description: Red has had and provided extensive training and experience over the centuries. His prowess with both natural instruments (claws, fists, etc.) and forged weapons is vast and well-tested, and he can see the combat potential of almost any implement set before him.
• Ability: Languages
  Description: Many common languages are under his tongue, with functional capabilities in others. Purely a function of his time spent among mortals.

Other pertinent info: More on Red and Fravashi/Faravahar's relationship:

The sprite, Faravahar, is sentient and generally pissed off at its situation (and a bit crazy after a few centuries). Its only interaction with the world is through expulsion of its lightning power to inflict harm, which is almost exclusively at Red's discretion.

Red has no soul tied to his body, and the sword, Fravashi, was sealed hundreds of years ago; that seal is deteriorating with extended abuse. Faravahar's soul and powers have started "leaking" into Red. As a result, Red now has some autonomy with respect to the sword's lightning magic. The cost is Red's natural eyesight and an intermingling of the two creatures' personalities. (Red's discipline and training that helped suppress his early feral tendencies is being gradually undone. This is a sub-plot I'd be curious to play out.)

When Red and Fravashi are separated beyond a few meters, Red's lightning power diminishes substantially but not completely. The sword's diminishes only somewhat. Since its soul is divided between the sword and Red, both entities' powers will continue to weaken with time until Faravahar eventually dies (I'm thinking on the order of several weeks). The magical attacks that Red can still muster take longer to prepare, and the more potent ones on the RPR Abilities page are unobtainable. The sprite is a malicious prick and doesn't take kindly to new weilders, though (bzzt), and if stolen Red will likely make retrieval of it his top priority.

A scarcely seen human was deposited in the infirmary in the early hours of the morning. The young man came carried by Lord Dralt, dressed strangely in neat trousers and an oversized grey bathrobe, abdomen bound tight in numerous layers of gauze. What wreckage lie beneath was terrible to behold: a stomach sliced open and lined with the sludge of rot. Dralt would depart as quickly as he had arrived, leaving verbal instructions to send a courier for his home once treatment concluded, assuring he would cover mail and medical expenses himself... regardless of whether or not the patient- unconscious with shallow breaths and weak pulse- survived.

A simple posting has been left upon the guild board.

During the following weeks, the guildmistress will be away on leave. Queries requiring her attention should be send via courier to her home. She thanks the members of the Guild for their ongoing patience and eagerly looks forward to returning to work.   

Done and done.
