You can have more than one. But the more Artifacts the bigger toll they take on your body.

Name: Reginald Durand
Alias: Crossbones
Age: 114
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 187 lbs
Hair: Black*
Skin: Black*
Eyes: Blue*
Species: Cursed Undead

* When wearing his Top Hat

Bio: Reginald Durand was a vaudeville magician in New Orleans during the 1920s. He was fairly successful but it being the Great Depression he was forced to rely upon his legerdemain to steal from people to survive. One day he was robbing an older lady of her last loaf of bread when she arrived and caught him in the act. Before he could use his skills to disappear, she cursed him with eternal greed. He continued on his path for several years until he met his fateful end. Only he didn't end, he remained alive. Though he no longer thirsted for water nor hungered for food, his soul was hollow. In his state of undeath, he searched for anything that might shore up his soul. He found nothing that could help him. Through the years, his rotting flesh and organs have all left him leaving him looking like but a skeleton. Upon achieving this state, he took to calling himself Crossbones due to how cross his curse makes him and his current skeletal state.

Skills:
When he was alive Reginald was a highly skilled magician and thief. As an undead spectre, Crossbones has picked up some fighting skill and some light magics. He is not too adept at manipulating modern technology so he has become relatively good at repairing antique technology. He can speak fluent French, Spanish, Creole, and English and is an exceptional showman.

Equipment:
While he doesn't carry anything electronic, Crossbones does have a wide range of gear. The most important aspect is his Top Hat which has a glamor enchantment that allows him to look like he did when was 25 years old, he can activate this at will when wearing the hat. He carries a faux wand that he uses for his magic act. At the touch of a button, his can can become a short blade. He has assorted magic tricks at his disposal. He came to own a cursed deck of playing cards that grant him powers based upon which card he has drawn. Each suit of cards grants him Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire powers.

Powers:
Crossbones is undead which means he can't be killed according to normal means. He has slightly enhanced strength but at the cost of some speed. He has access to various mystical powers mostly coming from his gear. He can project minor illusions and has limited necromantic powers.

Dope he reminds me of an old Black Magician named Black Herman. I like this character and its dope that he is from NO because that is where the scenario will take place.

[DedmanWalkin]

That reminds me, he also has extensive knowledge of New Orleans and its people.

Just gonna take the time an' say I'm gonna jump in on this when I can, but you guys start it without me. Set up the role play thread, RP between yourselves, I'll get a character to jump in on this when I get the time.

[Pirateking69]

i would like to join in but i dont know if I'm good at rpging yet lol

[DedmanWalkin]

Who cares if you are good at it? Everyone sucks to begin with, just jump in. Come up with a character.

[nelomaxwell]

I'd really like to have more characters than just two.

[NexusOfLight]

Well, you'll have three when the ball gets rolling. I have an easier time making up a character fitting the role play when I actually see the role play. Let me see a basic outline of the plot, how the universe works, and how the characters in the universe operate. Then I'll have a good, firm, starting place for becoming a part of it.

I'm having some difficulty ascertaining when the topic takes place. Is it just after the Hurricane?

No it's now as in 2011. Sorry if that wasn't clear I haven't done this is a while.

[DedmanWalkin]

Okay, give me some time to think up a post.

[nelomaxwell]

aight.

[nelomaxwell]

Oh by the way this Isn't only for Magic characters I think their will be cosmics too. I plan on having Cthulu like creatures here and they come from the stars so, if you wanna make an adam warlock or a idk thor or beta ray bill kinda character its cool.

[NexusOfLight]

Ah that's cool. Cthulu always came off to me as a magical like entity playing a cosmic role, same with Adam Warlock. Quick question, with the inclusion of cosmic characters is that to say the tone of this RP might not stay earth based? Like are there gonna be aliens and whatnot coming out of every hole, or are you still looking for a magic centered RP?

[nelomaxwell]

Cthulu is a God from the stars. When I say cosmics I mean like entities that draw power from extra-dimensional and cosmics energies. Technically the thing we will be facing is an alien to this world but his powers are magical. Think the Many angled ones in The Cancerverse.
