Name:Brad Grant
Age:17
Race:Human mutant
Location:New York
Appearance:Tall white student,believed my many of his classmates to be a skinhead,always taking place in any event he chooses.His long hands and legs gave him for awile the name "skinhead spider".His eyesight was sharp and he often made those who looked at him to turn to other direction.
Biography:When he was little and he began to read and write,the first sentence he knew by heart was "Beware of The Walking Mutant".
In his neibourhood there were many children who came from Chernobil or Japan,who had physical differences from what was considered to be the human body shape.
The religious people he knew condamed these children,stood away from them as humanly possible and preached that normal people should avoid these mutants.
He had a family-his father and mother,little brother and older sister.His parents raized him with care and understanding of the dangers,which awaited him in the future.
His mutation was peculiar one-he had a hole in his stomach from the front side of the body to his back.At first the person,who would see that hole,thought some bullet passed through the body and left this trace.But he was born with it.
Abilities:He was able to feel if someone is digging a hole in the ground of the neigbourhood.He felt stupid for being able to sense such a real life thing.He dreamed of having great abilities and becoming famous one day,but had just this one.
So he decided to never have to work something connected with the ground,if possible.
Precautions:As he knew the measures against the mutants,he always had a T-shirt on and when he was taking a bath,firstly he made himself 100% no one is watching him.He also had in mind to draw attention to his head or hands,so his mutation to never be noticed.

Name: Tamika Johnson
Age:56
Race: Black
Location: USA, though travels far and wide after her affliction.
Appearance: She is quite obese, with short blonde hair (not natural colour ofc) and a baby fringe, also a stubby nose.
Bio: Now, what has led Tamika to a life of hoeing is irrelevant, I doubt that even she knows, it's the only life that she has ever known. She loved to indulge herself with treats whenever she could get them, which eventually led her to her being overweight. Not that this affected her work, she just attracted different kinds of customers. Her life went on with minor peaks, she always found a way to find work, but she never achieved anything outstanding, her only goal was survival and getting whatever comfort she can on the way. That is, until one faithful day.
It all started like any other day, she received all-comers, argued with the pimps about rates, and contracted a disease that led to her deformation. The change was rapid, though her physical appearance was already twisted (no offense) the change made her crave the soft flesh of humans. And thus she became a black widow, using pheromones to disguise herself as an attractive caucasian tart, she'd lull her victims to lay with her, and once the deed was done she'd inject a virulent fluid into their bodies that would twist their insides into a viscous liquid (they'd prolly die from this, but suffer heavily during the torturous process) then she'd go on to drink this in order to sustain her twisted and broken self, as once she indulged on sweeties, she now enjoys the blood of her victims.
Abilities:
-She is equipped with pheromones that affect a person's perception, (a controlled hallucinogen) and sexually arouse victims.
-She releases the venom from her two canines (that were mutated for this purpose)
-Her lifetime of blowing has made her particularly adapt at harnessing the viscous meal that her venom produces, even without the aid of mutations.

Name: Gregory
Age: 35
Race: Caucasian
Location: Born in New York, current location unknown
Appearance: Long, dark unkept hair, he's a short and slightly obese man, his left arm reaching down to the floor, he's got different kinds of marks and tumors all over his body, seemingly caused by illness.
Bio: A child born of rape, he grew up on the streets of Zurich with his mother. His mother wasn't the best, as she steadily used both drugs and alcohol during the pregnancy, it's a miracle Gregory survived. When he first was born, he lived with his mother, but at the age of five, they had to leave their home due to debts. While disfigured and seemingly very stupid, Gregory was a talented child and used his different looks to his advantage, having people either take pity on him or become afraid.
As a young boy, Gregory became the leader of a band of street urchins, and together they would rob marketplaces or simply pickpocket people, using the smaller and cuter kids as bait. It went well, for a while, but like all things, sometime you have to lose. For Gregory, this was at the age of 16, when he, after the death of his mother, was overcome by grief and misjudged a theft, landing him in prison.
Prison wasn't an easy time for Gregory, as his looks left him alone and most other prisoners despised him. After three days and two murder attempts he was put in isolation for safety. He spent three months there before he was released from prison. When he got out, he went back to his old gang, but they were nowhere to be seen, their old hideout abandoned. He stayed there for a few nights before making his way down to the port, knowing there were gangs there, hoping to be accepted by one of them.
Down at the port he saw a cargo ship unloading on the bay, he located the captain and asked for work. The captain shrugged him of at first, but his massive arms showed of great strength, and he was given a lowlife job. He was told that after they'd unloaded their cargo and loaded new one, they were leaving for Europe, and for Gregory to be back in two days if he wanted to work onboard.
Gregory was made to be a sailor, as he was talented at the jobs he was given, they even taught him how to repair the engine and how all things worked, after a few years, he could run the entire ship on his own if he had to. He was quickly promoted and, while not in charge, he got better paid than most of the crew.
At around the age of 30, he decided to leave the ship to seek fortune elsewhere. He cashed out all his money, packed a bag of necessities and walked away on the coast of France, no one has seen him since.

Quote:
classical knight
Quote:
Dwarf and Elf
... You see where I'm going with this right?
DWARVES AND ELVES ARE NOT CLASSICAL KNIGHTS! At best they're bandits, the very things that typical knights have to fend off. A dwarven knight would be nothing more than some fat greedy 'tiny' person, and NOT an embodiment of selflessness. And an elf is nothing but a flower sniffing tree shagging pixie, (epic ****in simile ftw) who enjoys shooting his foes in the back, which is defo not an embodiment of chivalry and honour.
Both of these races are vile for the criteria. Unless there's an amendment, I shall have to unleash my floozy dark-elf, so help me god!

Don't really know what I'm supposed to be creative with when the rules have already decided the race, profession, personality and setting of the character.

Classic knights are restricted to ONLY humans, an elf or a dwarf would be utterly inapplicable since they'd no longer represent their own races' traits. Let's say that elven knight live in a perdy castles, it would screw the point of having an elf in the first placeif he just behaved like a typical human knight.
This is a call for REFORM!

Making a human knight would be pretty simple.
And classical means be good, trust everyone, ignore the warnings, etc.

How in the world are we supposed to create our own ideas for this? Their character traits, profession, race is all already decided; all we pick is the name and their background. And honestly, how many stories can you come up with about a classical knight? It's either a rags to riches defend the poor or a born in rich family decide to help everyone story.

Then where does creativity enter my dear Noob? 
Name: Angus McSweeney
Race: Dwarf
Age: 56
Profession: Smith
Appearance: Standing at around 120 cm, he has an enormous beard the colour of dried blood, streaked with black, matching hair(A damp, unwashed jungle, protruding in dirty knots from under his helmet.), and an enormous black unibrow. He is surprisingly wrinkled: he already looks ancient when he should have decades left of his prime years.
Would he have any say in the matter, he'd be wearing a sort of camouflage-tartan, but alas, he's required to use the regulation blazing white Knight uniform. Due to his size however, he had to have it custom-fitted, the cost of which had had to be deducted from his pay.
Ill-equipped to handle the classic broadsword,(which greatly annoyed his superiors) he had had to improvise: he now wields a pair of miniature, one-handed warhammers, a painful reminder of his past.
Though his armor is supposed to shine bright enough to blind a Unicorn, he neglects it out of spite. This has earned him countless hours of privy-cleaning duty, but also saved his life on occasion, the dirty greyish hue hiding him from prying eyes in many a skirmish atop the Fang Mountains.
Bio:
Seduced by the recruiters' rosy promises, he was conscripted at the age of 30, practically immediately after he left the Homely Highlands to go see the word and eventually become an unrivaled smith worthy of the McSweeney name a year before. He learned only too late that to ensure that enough knights don't actually abandon it all once they realize how snowy and pointless a sworn knight's life is, it was now standard custom to expose all the new non-human recruits to an ever so slightly increased dose of an addictive toxin(Chevalium) over the course of their training, so that they need a regular infusion to stay alive...
Needless to say, the Puny Human Empire keeps its existence(and the human monopoly on it) a closely-guarded secret, which knights cannot reveal else they stop getting their doses.
While Chevalium-infused knights(such as Angus) possess exceptional strength and agility, they also suffer from a number of side effects, such as an overwhelming urge to 'be a proper knight': trust anyone, ignore any warnings, loot all possible temples, bed all possible wenches... These get worse the longer they go without it, yet they only get their government-provided monthly dose if they meet their quota(arbitrarily set and reset by the Emperor according to the Empire's needs) of heroic deeds. Knights unable to do so are left to wither and die in the wilderness. Over time, all vestiges of personality are erased by Chevalium use, one of the reasons why Humans(the privileged race) are not required to resort to it - the few who do partake in it, are guaranteed fast promotions though, given that they outperform their fellows. Humans being puny, their immune system is much more vulnerable to Chevalium, severely shortening their lifespans, which explains the sudden rush of Elven and Dwarwen conscripts.
Angus is currently stationed at one of the many outposts in the Fang Mountains, on account of the intense and incessant war between the Puny Human Empire, and its northern neighbour, the Obnoxious Orc Conglomerate, the border disputes over the mountains being a traditionally secure way to keep the Chevalium coming. He has grown bitter and cold, cursing his younger self for his folly. He is determined to find a way, any way to cure his addiction and return home, and if not for their hold on him, he'd have betrayed the hated PHE long ago.
He has attempted every trick in the book to overcome the drug's effects, all to no avail. Over the years, as the long-term effects of the drug started to manifest(A memory like Swiss cheese, his hair slowly but inevitably turning regulation black, a growing fondness of ale, the inability to think outside the box...) he had all but given up hope... if not for the recent rumor that the Wizened Wizards acquired some sort of artifact capable of neutralizing Chevalium, he'd have committed suicide. Now, hanging on to this last thread of hope, he desperately tries to come up with a way to defect and get his hands on it before he's reduced to just another babbling madman. And the clock is ticking fast: 26 years of Chevalium have taken a terrible toll on his health...

Name:Sharp Shen
Race:Elf
Age:44
Profession:Armourer
Appearance:Very human like,tall,athletic,aura of mistery around him.His face was sharp featured,he had excelent eye sight.
His hands were hands of a master armourer,who always could fix any weapon people bring him.
Bio:Many wondered who was he and who are his family.Only his best friends knew his mother was en elf and his father-a dwarf.
The destiny played many jokes in the past with the young elf,so when his younger dwarf brother was born,Sharp instantly knew he must keep his family a secret to all who worked with him.
He had mastered the art of weapon-craft or armoury for many years,so he was considered welcome everywhere.His ability to fix weapons made him a legend.
He wore a light armour with him,which was like a knights armour,in effect many knights ordered to make for them such armours.
Apart from the truth about his family,he discussed most facts he knew and stories he have learned with anyone.He helped many people in need and generously provided everything his friends asked for.That was the reason many spies considered him the best source of information in their land.
He had received multiple warnings about spy activities,but he never paid much respect to them.

Ehh, it was a joke character anyway. Disqualify it if You want, but I'm too lazy to change anything.
EDIT: It could be argued that the round is now over because a different set of instructions was posted...
EDIT2:*bump* No new posts for 2 weeks, maybe it's time for a new round?
