<span style="font-style: italic">Okay! Let's try this again. Mechanically pretty badly inferior as a front line combatant, but a little more mechanically to do out of context.

Raised as the eldest son of a middling-prosperous blacksmith and his meek wife, Johan knew from the time he could toddle that a life at the forge wasn't for him. As the world became more and more unsettled, even the most unobservant of people could see the money to be made from being able to fight, not to mention the proportionally decreased chances of ending up fertilizing some godforsaken field thanks to a hungry monster. Using his considerable charm and stubbornness, he got his father to make him cheap swords an shields he could practice with in parallel to his usual lessons from the local parson, while also gratifying that white-haired old man by devouring works of history and military strategy with the avidity some other students devoted to chasing barmaids. The very day he hit 18, he took the poor quality arms and armament he had from his father and left payment for it and a flowery letter to his parents explaining his absence. With the 'loose ends' thus settled to his satisfaction, Johan signed on with the first mercenary group he could find who were willing to take on a callow youth and help finish his training in the art of killing things while not getting killed. He rose through the ranks, becoming a minor officer before his 21st birthday and hoarding the money he got paid for each contract; always he reinvested them into better equipment, not taking the company's cash. He wasn't satisfied- instead, a year after making officer, he jumped ship to a rival company again leaving a flowery, charming letter and a small sack of gold as expiation for any hard feelings his abrupt departure might have caused. Since no assassins have come looking for him, it seems to have worked.<br/><br/>The reason for leaving is that <insert our mercenary group here> had an opening in its ranks for an experienced infantry officer to be second-in-command of the ground pounders at a substantial increase in pay, and Johan had been subtly showing off for them every time they were in the field together. That was three years ago, and Johan has seemingly settled into his new company. In reality, it's just because he sees a clear path to the top of a prosperous mercenary outfit, and is quite prepared to wait the 5-10 years he estimates it'll take for the current leader to retire and confident in his chances against the other more obvious 'heirs apparent'. He makes his reputation until then by being an amiable sort that tends to not pick fights with anyone, calm and confident competence on the battlefield, and a not-inconsiderable string of dalliances in private broken off usually by mutual consent and on friendly terms. Johan is a ruthlessly ambitious man underneath the happy warrior exterior, but to his credit Johan doesn't have any time for bigotry or prejudice. He'll flirt with and romance anything with two legs, and often four, eight, and zero legs are also valid partners depending on his mood in a given month. Adventurous, he's gotten himself swallowed once or twice by paramours- ostensibly to get them happier, but in truth to give him needed experience with predators and how to foil them, a specialty he's thankfully not had to use much. Still, he does have the reputation around camp as a bit of a playboy even though he spends as much time practicing his skills as anyone.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>Vore preferences - More or less, what sorts of vore you enjoy, and what types you hate. Oral vore is pretty much going to be universal, and it's what I normally do, but if someone has absolute 'noes' or something they REALLY enjoy, I'd love to know it, and I'll likely work it in at some point!</div></blockquote><br/><br/>I love pretty much anything but anal, and as for particular likes... things that happen after ingestion, however the ingestion occurs!<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>Sexual preferences - Male? Female? Do you EVER want to encounter sexual situations? Do you want folks to put them in spoilers? Do you care one way or the other? Let me know here!</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Johan is an open and adventurous horndog, and will cheerfully flirt with men, women, monsters, or anything that looks remotely romanceable if he's in the mood as he often is; anyone who responds is liable to have the man in their bed without any trouble at all. He has a personal goal of sleeping with as many races as he can, and keeps a list in code in his diary- coded *well*, so others can't find out the breadth of his Experience.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>What would you like to see happen in the game? - Pretty self explanitory! What would you like to see? More interaction than combat? A ton of vore? Kinky stuff? Do you SEE your character having a goal they are striving towards, and want to see it fulfilled?! Let me know here!</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Generally, I prefer combats to be somewhat infrequent, but when they happen, they are major and Matter. And vore is naturally what I'm here for first, but an endless diet of nothing but vore would be too much.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>Digestion - How detailed do you want me to get, in the event you eat someone, or are eaten!? Prefer detailed and graphic? Hinted at, but nothing too harsh? Want it just 'assumed', with only the description required to pretty much say you're in a stomach getting gurgled? Let me know here, and I'll stick to your preferences! I have no qualms here, and will get as absolutely detailed as you like, or as light as you'd want to go! Also, want digestion to be in spoilers, or readable by everyone?</div></blockquote><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Detailed!</span>I adore digestion, on both ends of it.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>Predator and prey preferences - I can't really promise I'll be able to 100% dedicated enemies or anything like that, but if I know my players like certain types or genders or predators and prey, I'll try to get more of that in there! x3 Hey, I've never played a male, so there's a first time for everything! <img alt=":D" src="./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" title="Very Happy"/><br/><br/>Postvore - Want it at all? Spoilers? No? This is up to the player! ^_^</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Postvore is the natural result, and I don't mind it, but I'm not really going to dwell on it in my posts.<img alt=":)" src="./images/smilies/smile.gif" title="Smile"/><br/><br/>---<br/><br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>1. The name of your mercenary group (I welcome you to talk to each other and come up with something, unless you want one of your own)<br/>2. Your position in it (Again, I welcome you to talk to each other and join a single group if you like). You could be the leader, but again, it's a VERY tiny group.<br/>3. What they are known for.<br/>4. Their symbol.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>1. I will let other people weigh in on this before I bull in, but I have always been partial to the naming scheme of "<Last Name's> <Warlike Plural Noun With The Same First Letter As The Leader's Last Name>". Pretty common and easy to remember.<br/>2. Position? Johan is a relative oldtimer, and is second in command of the groundpounding fighting forces; a fairly senior officer, albeit one just on the fringes of the real decisionmaking power. I picked this because I didn't think any of us would be taking the real high positions, but if I'm wrong I can bump Johan up to commander so he would be on any leadership councils.<br/>3. Probably leaving as few prisoners as physically possible, and being a haven for a... very wide variety of soldier, racially speaking. Johan approves of both of these.<br/>4. Symbol? Huh. I honestly don't know, here. Probably some kind of wild animal.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>1. Their name<br/>2. Their relationship to you (Lover, subordinate, superior, friend, friendly rival, sister, brother, mother, father...get creative here! Anything you'd like!)<br/>3. Their mentality. How do they think? Are they vile and sadistic, are they sweet and loving, lusty and erotic? Again, the more I have here, the more I can work with!<br/>4. Their Gender<br/>5. Their race<br/>6. What they are good at. Are they a brutish sellsword, are they a skilled mage, are they a sneaky rogue, a doctor? Again, feel free to get creative here, they don't have to 'fit the mold' as it were, and once more...the more I'm given to work with, the better off I'll (and likely, they) will be!<br/>7. A picture, or a description! Your choice here.<br/>8. How predatory are they? Do they have a preyish streak? Let me know!<br/>9. Give them a flaw! They're good at something, so make them bad at something here, too! Are they clumsy? Prone to overindulgence? Greedy?<br/>10. General information - Anything else you think I need to know, stick it here! </div></blockquote><br/><br/>1. Naji<br/>2. On-and-off-again casual lover, currently off but still freely flirting<br/>3. Playful-yet-practical; Najii is one of the armorers for the company and also the accountant, so she's got a lot of responsibility for a noncombatant and knows it. Not that she doesn't enjoy parts of her work, but she always keeps it tempered with knowing how badly things could go if she messes up. She doesn't go out of her way to hog plaudits, but she has a bit of a touchy pride to her that's magnified by not being able to fight.<br/>4. Female<br/>5. Drow<br/>6. Very smart, both with numbers and with people. Not much of a fighter, but she's essential to the smooth day by day running of the company. Knows where the metaphorical bodies are buried, too, because she's on good terms with so many in the company.<br/>7. Can't find a good picture, so: Naji is a classical drow, jet black skin with long white hair down to the small of her back in a ponytail, cheerful white eyes and smile lines set into her flesh. Not very young, not very old, around what in a human would be her early thirties. Typically dresses modestly, no cleavage or bared skin, if just because she doesn't like the sun on her skin that much. Probably typically she'd wear a plain gray tunic smudged with ink from her duties.<br/>8. More predatory in mind than in her abilities, because she doesn't have the muscles to cram anyone down nor the magic to force anyone in. No interest in feeding someone, but she was... extremely... grateful when Johan let her practice eating him once or twice. It's a big part of the reason they stay on-again and off-again lovers, more Johan's default girlfriend when he's not chasing anyone else. She's also the reason Johan is fluent in undercommon.<img alt="8)" src="./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif" title="Cool"/><br/>9. Weak and slightly sickly, never really adjusted to being in the open air; she got chased out of the underdark for some transgression she's never mentioned, and may have people who really don't like her down there. She knows a *little* magic, but more in the range of cantrips than anything that would be handy in a fight- she'd be a glaring liability on the battlefield.<br/>10. I think I've covered everything for her! ^_^
