Jitterbugge Café / Re: The Jitterbugge Café

[ For those who arrive to the Jitterbugge when Bean isn't there, there is an NPC barista named Jo. Also a cricket, also gender-indeterminate, and also hopelessly addicted to coffee. But very helpful, and will get you whatever you need off the menu, so long as you pay. ]

[Was actually just going to mention that]

There are signs up all around the marketplace and even some spots around town (LIKE AT THAT TEA SHOP/BAKERY!!!!!!) that Pumpkin Spice scones will be available at the Jitterbugge Café starting next Monday! Those who ask for a PSL will be smacked and told to try another coffee joint.

...but yeah, we'll have the PSL too.

Key Sorel: kiː sə.ˈɹɛl

Bean Wiggenaut: bin ˈwɪ.gən.ˌaʊt

@Fyedakin, how are we supposed to pronounce the name @Fyedakin Xiloscient? Is it only pronounceable by people named @Fyedakin? Can @Fyedakin tell us the meaning of the name @Fyedakin?

Located in Eileadora's bustling main street, just across from the tavern, the Jitterbugge Café is causing quite a buzz among the locals. Brewing coffee grown by local farmers, acquired through fair trade practices, it is becoming a place for laborers and shopkeepers alike to gather for a warm morning pick-me-up, an afternoon re-energizer, or even an after-dinner invigorator to keep the night life stirring.


Staff
  • Head Barista: Bean Wiggenaut
  • Assistant Barista: Jo [NPC] - if Bean isn't there, assume Jo is behind the counter. Jo is also a cricket-bugge, and also gender-indeterminate. And also hopelessly addicted to coffee.
  • Other staff: Various other bugges, all apparently relatives of Bean who've used family obligation to get a job. There are usually a couple of them milling around the store, more down in the basement.

Now hiring great people!

Description
> A rather exciteable cricket-like creature hops into your field of view, its antennae constantly twitching back and forth, and its eyes never seeming to point in the same direction for very long. It wears a green raiment of some form, something like an apron. In its hand is a mug of some steaming liquid with a hearty aroma. [Condition: Buzzed] [Coffeeholic]

General:

Full Name: Render
Aliases: sometimes called "Iceblade," but this is properly the name of his sword. 
Hair: Black
Skin: Pale, with a slight bluish cast
Eyes: Ice blue
Height: 6′ 0″
Weight: 175 w/out armor, 225 with
Species: Human *
Handedness: Left

* Render used to be feline in Furcadia because when he was created, the human option was not available. In other contexts, he is typically human. Since there was a large hiatus in playing him, I've decided just to say somewhere on his journey he regained human form.
 
Alignment: not altogether on anybody's side, since nobody's altogether on his side. But he has a vague instinct to seek out loyal service to a master, and despises what is evil.
Profession: Wanderer/Sword-sometimes-hired
 
Resistances: Cold, Mental attack
Weaknesses: Intense heat, any prolonged separation from Iceblade
Phobias: None.

Statistics:

Strength - Medium/Medium-High
Constitution - High
Dexterity - Medium
Agility - Medium
Intelligence - Medium
Wisdom - Low/High **

Fortitude - High
Reflex - Medium
Will - Medium

** Render has a vast potential to use his ice abilities, but it is of a reflexive/intuitive nature, not something he has practiced. He is not an elemental, but his link with Iceblade is intrinsic to his being, and so his abilities are just like any other physical part of him. So in terms of using "magic" in the usual sense, he's at a low, because he doesn't know how to use it. But in terms of facility and competence with using his ice powers, he's at a high.

Details:
Weapons
  • Ice Blade: A sword whose blade is icy cold to the touch. Its origins are as mysterious as those of Render himself, but he seems to have some connection to it, as he can at times use it to make a space colder. It is breakable, but only with tremendous force. At all times it is surrounded by an icy breeze which can increase or decrease in intensity as Render's mood changes. It is a hand-and-a-half sword, so Render can and will use it one-handed if necessary. The blade itself is four feet long, making the whole sword about five feet. It weighs approximately 4 lbs, having a blade two and a half inches wide. Also note that because of the envelope of cold air around it, friction affects it less, thus making it a small bit easier to swing. The handle is about 10 inches long, decorated with silver and having a silver pommel. The hand guard is also silver, with obsidian stones set on either side. On the handle, a slightly faded inscription is visible, written in silver, though worn down and scratched a bit.
  • Short Dagger: Render's backup weapon. Its blade is about a foot long, so he usually keeps it concealed. It does not have the cold-manipulating abilities of the ice blade, but because he keeps it so close it is usually cold as well. It is made of a special steel that is not as affected by changes in temperature as other steel, making it less vulnerable to brittleness. The blade is double edged and straight. Don't expect him to use it often, though.

Armor
Render's armor protects his chest, shins, the tops of his feet, and the outside of his left forearm. The metal is breakable, but as it's reinforced plate steel, it'll take force to get through it. The straps which fasten the armor are made of toughened leather reinforced by an iron core, which means it'll be difficult to separate him from his armor against his will.
 
Abilities
Render possesses the ability to create and manipulate ice, based on his connection with Iceblade. For a a list of some of his abilities, see here.

Appearance
You see a tall figure, robed and armored in black, most of his face obscured by a black mask. His clothing is likewise black, a strange mark upon his left sleeve. His skin is an icy pallid color, and his eyes are twin spheres of ice, seeming to look past what they see. At his right hip is slung a sword in its sheath, the handle inlaid with silver, twin obsidian stones set in the ends of its crossbar. A strange cloud of winter cold seems to dwell about the man, as if coming from within him; or perhaps it comes more from the sword. The two are never parted, and so it would be difficult to tell.

Constitution - Low/Medium (he's suffered a few blows in his day, mostly from angry husbands and jilted lovers)
Dexterity - High/Low, depending on what he's doing (nimble fingers for playing instruments, but can trip over a floorboard if he's not watching)
Agility - Medium
Intelligence - High
Wisdom - Medium

Fortitude - Low
Reflex - Medium
Will - Medium


Details:

Description:  A friendly-looking fellow of about thirty-five, his face almost always smiling in a good-natured way. His eyes may be blue or green, depending on who's looking and when, but they seem to betray a great will to enjoy life, as attested by the creases forming already at their corners. His fur is all of white, save for a few brown patches on his arms and neck, a large spot over his right eye, and of course his short-cropped brown hair. He carries a lute on his back in its case, which seems also to have a compartment for carrying a flute and perhaps other instruments. One would guess that this fellow is a bard of some sort. He carries no visible weapon, save his incredibly infectious smile.
