edictum patrol group (wip)
Cave prison is a dangerous place, and we need YOU to make it safer!
Altius will encourage characters who are inclined to cooperate with their fellow prisoners to organize and come up with the best ways to protect each other... even if that's sometimes from themselves. This isn't just a combat-specific endeavor, although that's an important part of it. Anyone who might be able to build defensive measures or strategize or simply carry supplies throughout the caves in an emergency is also welcome!
Zek's role will be mostly organizational, making sure different sections of the cave are properly supervised and that patrolling characters have what they need to do so. He will encourage sharing ideas with each other, but the goal he'll emphasize most is preventing further death as much as possible.
Depending on interest I'm hoping to set up a log every once in a while, but this is mostly just an excuse to build CR and help enhance the setting. If you & your character would like to get involved, please fill out the form below!

no subject
Contact:
Character: Altius
Skills: Logistics, strategy, some swordsmanship. He has an erasure power but it's not great in emergencies.
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: Helping characters feel like they're making a difference! Also learning about how overpowered some of you are!
no subject
Contact:
Character: Captain Fabian
Skills: Stealth, magic (mostly illusions but one offensive and one healing spell), swordfighting
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: Fabian will want to mostly protect the convicts from outside threats (i.e. rock worms, bears) but he also has potential to be good at conflict mediation. He also secretly wants to keep this group "in check", i.e. making sure it doesn't veer into policing their fellow prisoner, power grabbing, or limiting freedoms.
no subject
Contact: pm /
Character: Jin
Skills: ice, temperature and moisture manipulation, light speed movements, manipulation of elementary particles, absolute zero
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: Jin's more the quiet type, so he'll hang out. He'll only behave recklessly when someone is in danger. I don't mind any and all cr!
no subject
Contact:
Character: Sunday
Skills: Organization, strategic planning, tuning (psychic bullshit)
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: Sunday is interested in somehow usurping control of the entire prison. Sorry about that. He IS a good person, though, and wants control so he can protect everyone. He figures he needs to get involved and build rapport with his fellow convicts.
no subject
Contact:
Character: V1
Skills: Combat, eidetic memory bc robot, and logistics (its wing blades can convert matter into data, so it can carry heavy or large items within its wings and reassemble them somewhere else)
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: V1 is a selfish individual, but it understands that the safety of the group ensures its own survival... also Jin told it to try and help people, so it would use this group to try and achieve those goals. So I kind of want V1 to learn how to be more selfless and be a productive member of society, and this group seems like a good way to nudge V1 into that development!
no subject
Contact:
Character: V
Skills: Stealth, infiltration, assassination, martial arts. More here.
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: Guy who's a living WMD learns working with a team has its benefits. He's used to the solo life due to main quest reasons, so his group skills are rusty, to say the least.
Re: Signups
Contact: Dragontoes9107 on Discord
Character:Torrin Vey
Skills: He is a space wizard so he can do dumb stuff like zap things with warp lightning, and do preliminary scrying. Also, a useful trait for the group: He can tell when someone is lying. The daemon that possessed him, Amazarak, left him with the ability to taste lies.
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?:this dumbass needs friends, which means people willing to put up with his block of wood personality.
no subject
Contact:
Character: Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter/Bullseye
Skills: World's greatest marksman, can turn anything thrown into a weapon, and a little bit of hand-to-hand combat skills.
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: Dex needs to learn to play nice with others, so the best way he knows is to try and protect others. He's best when it comes to seeing a group as as whole rather than individuals, whom he has too much trouble connecting with to care about them.
no subject
Contact:
Character: Phainon
Skills: sun/fire themed powers, swordsmanship, general leadership skills. he's also a fast learner!
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: Protecting everyone aside, Phainon also wants to get to know everyone better and understand their needs, and see if he can help out with what they want. He'd be the kind of person who would get along well with most! He also has no sense of self to a creepy degree, so feel free to call him out on that.
can this murderer be in your club
Contact:
Character: Igarak
Skills: Primarily offensive magic and stabbing things
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: After his little incident with Fabian, he has a desperate need to prove to himself that he can be better and that he's not just a monster. Because of that, he won't hesitate to do what's asked of him. He also has an inherent desire for purpose. (Please, give him a purpose.)
no subject
Contact:
Character: Miller
Skills: Strategy/delegation/general guidance skills, knows his way around a firearm, blade, and combat with everything ranging from Nazis to mutated giant bats
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: I'm down for anything/everything! But Miller is mainly interested in trying to keep the group from fracturing and maintaining relative peace while they attempt to progress towards some kind of answers about their captors and upwards escape. He and Altius have talked about creating a storage bunker, essentially.
no subject
Contact:
Character: Malos
Skills: Swordsmanship, hand to hand combat, superhuman strength, agility, and endurance, ether-generated armour/barriers, darkness abilities including being able to consume matter.
What threads/development would you like to explore with the group?: None, he's just signing up because Jin asked him to, leave him alone. :/ ... is the ic answer, but oocly, I would like him to develop friendships/camaraderie/rivalries/frenemies/etc. He's grappling with finding a sense of purpose, so getting roped into things may help with this.
