Description

"God taught the devout to beg on their knees.."

ImageName: Horik
Sex: F
Age: 26

Physical Description: Horik makes sure to train when she has time and so she does have defined muscles. Her body is like a muscular lean and her hair is often in one look like 90% of the time. Her skin is often dry though and she has chapped lips a lot. There are tiny scars on her hands and face, however the noticeable ones are on her back and underneath her shirt.
Clothing: Horik leaves a lot to the imagination, often covered from head to toe. She makes sure to wear light colors that often blend with the sand and often has her goggles on the top of her head. If she wants to be seen, she'll change the glass out to muti-colored lenses that reflect extra bright in the sun. She has a pack around her waist or back with many items she finds useful.
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 165 lbs
Skin Colour: Brown
Hair Colour: Brown
Eye Colour: Brown
Sex Appeal: She can earn some looks but can be a bit too muscular for some.

Home Town: Torvix
Occupation: Adventurer/ Inventor
Culture: Skylander
History/Bio: A bastard child, Horik was left to be abandoned but picked up by another Skylander. The Skylander had been seeking a way to make peace with the people of the Rock but realizing the futility of it after meeting a few small groups, gave the quest up. They had planned to return but found Horik among the sands, nearly dead. They decided to instead find the nearest hospitable town and nursed Horik back to health. Her mentor then raised Horik to live among the people and hoped that as a teacher, they would be able to influence the people to work together. However, while Horik understood the message, she did not believe this to be her life's goal.

Instead, Horik began to build in secret. Her mentor did not discourage her building but it was what Horik built that her mentor did not approve. A ship. A ship to leave the Rock and instead, live among those her mentor had come from. One night, the sputtering of the engine awoke her mentor and she was furious. She slapped Horik in anger and yanked her hair. Horik left.

Now Horik travels the sands as a scavenger and still seeks her dream. Though at what cost, Horik has yet to see.

Equipment and Weapons: Horik keeps a dagger with her at all times and has a sword she often stashes away in a small compartment on her ship. Other wise her equipment consists of rusted and dented tools that help her with maintenance and repair of her builds.
Styles, Powers, and Abilities: Horik has the ability to manipulate water but it isn't very strong. She isn't even sure if its really a power. Her fighting style is one of charging forward and hitting as hard as she can. However, if Horik can avoid a fight, she will but has a habit of saying some rather instigating things.

So begins...

Ash turned just in time to watch the scantily clad woman drop her weapon, Arubak having used some kind of magic to project a pebble through her hand. He looked back to Arubak, about to thank him, but then the suggestion of kidnapping came up, causing the Captain to grimace in displeasure. That was certainly not something he found himself being okay with. That was besides the point though, before either of them could do anything else, the towns people began to shift into horrid monstrosities, creatures that seemed to be coated in mud, or water, or some such substance.

He looked back to the scantily clad woman, who was also now morphing into one of these deranged beings. "This bloody day..." Was all he could mutter. Ash turned to get Arubak's thoughts on the situation, but the man was already running, and the path he had taken was now being filled in by these creatures, cutting Ash off.

There was a sigh as the Captain hung his head for a moment, giving it a shake. "Why must I continue to be interrupted by such ridiculous tomfoolery! Fine! I tried to be nice, courteous, and polite. But ladies of the night becoming creatures of the night is where I draw the bloody line!" He looked back up to see the saloon patrons all morphed, the people in the streets quickly surrounding the saloon, even the barkeep was one of them now.

"You know what, I think I could go for a bottle now." In an instant the Captain had both his pistol, and the glittering revolver Percy had gifted him, in hand. He turned towards the inside of the saloon and began to open fire, sending two rounds into the scantily clad monster's head, before turning to the others. Ash kicked one of the tables over and used it as a slight barrier as he took more shots at the monsters near the left and right sides of the bar. Several monsters fell, but he ran dry in a moment. He quickly began reloading as the monsters started to charge.

Loaded. Ash hopped over the table and started firing to the sides again as he charged towards the bar counter. A few more of the nasty things fell and Ash was face to face with the barkeep again, his face looking decayed and rotted, disgusting brown goo oozing down his face. Both guns went to the barkeeps head and released one round each into his head. He dropped to the floor and Ash climbed over the counter and behind the bar.

The Captain grabbed a bottle of whiskey and quickly slid it into his rucksack before taking a few more in hand. Ash began tossing them at the floor, the walls, the monsters, anything he could. Every bottle from the wall was getting shattered against something, coating the room in liquor. The creatures continued to approach however, so Ash quickly began smashing a piece of the shelf off, pulling a board from it that he swung at his assailants.

Once Ash felt confident in his work, he swung the board at a few more monsters, spraying their disgusting drippings to different parts of the room, before jumping back over the counter and making a dash for the stairs. He dropped the board and rummaged through his pockets quickly. "Since you've given me such a warm welcome, I feel it's only fair to give you all an equally warm goodbye! TTFN, ta ta for now!" He produced a match from his pocket, lit it, and tossed it to the floor. The room began to quickly light up in flames, and Ash continued up the stairs.

More scantily clad women awaited in the upper level, lumbering out of bedrooms and other areas, their bodies also taking on new, horrifying shapes. "Oh you bloody things... You know this is going against some very fundamental principles for me? I do not approve of harming a woman under any circumstances, even if she's wearing leather and holding a whip!" He looked around the room for other options, spying a window down a hallway. He eyed it up before giving a slight nod to himself.

"Well ladies, seems this will have to wait till another time." He grinned with a nod as he dashed towards the window, throwing himself through it. There was a crash, and the sound of glass and wood splinters flying through the air and landing on ground and buildings around it. Ash flew through the air for a moment before his body thudded and rolled across the roof of a smaller building that was beside the saloon. Quickly picking himself up, the Captain continued to dash, jumping from roof top to roof top to find the rest of his comrades.

A few minutes later, and a great deal of physical exertion on Ash's part, and he was standing on yet another roof, heaving as he tried to catch his breath and allow his legs to rest from all the jumping. Walking over to the side of the building, getting ready to do yet another jump, Ash discovered Horik was standing in an alley below, with more of the disgusting creatures piling up at the entrance.

"Excuse me young lady, are you in need of assistance?" Ash called below as he laid down on the roof, hanging his hand down within reach so that he could pull Horik up.
