Herb Fri
"What more could a person want except freedom of self and mind?"
Herb is very much a living doll, if the seams around his neck and joints weren't evident enough. How he's powered is a wonder but his aetheric stability is almost unparalleled and unrivaled.
RP Hooks
| Hook | Description |
|---|---|
| An Artist | Herb is known for being a painter and artist in general. A blossoming pictomancer to boot he can create fantastical objects, though small, for a temporary period. He usually uses this to create food though, not that he's starving he just likes food. (Note: The player themselves is an illustrator, ask for a b/w scribble if you want!) |
| Aetherical Dancer? | As they can be difficult to recall- Herb uses aether tethers to manipulate and wield his chakrams in battle. They can be unruly and he can misfire occasionally or lose control, but it just requires him to restring them as a puppeteer would their marionette. |
| Bizzare Dancing Mechanical Doll | Herb is quite literally a living doll. While it isn't clear what is 'powering' him or how he moves so effortlessly, there are noticeable hitchings or glitches that happen in his movements at times. A normal day doesn't have this, buuuuut when he fights it can become a problem. His aether also doesn't register properly, seemingly invisible to most who view him. |
| Bloodsands Fighter | He isn't an avid fighter, but he does enjoy a spar or two here and there. You might catch him there sparring with a friend or just simply hanging around! |
| Ex-Addict | Herb used to be an addict, at least in his old body. A proficient narcotics expert, he knows most of anything from sight, taste, and touch. He also has a killer tolerance. Might be a bit difficult to OD in this state though, or maybe it's easier? |
| Previous Krakenguard Captain | The Krakenguard is a black-trade pirate crew for spices, weapons, and whatever else not. Herb was the pharmaceutical divison's captain and had a mean knack for making drugs. |
Highlights
Dreaming Artist
Nimble Warrior
Intrepid Hopes
Doll-like Eyes
Herb is able to take his paintings and dive into them to create a wonderous dreamscape for he and his friends to traverse. No perils exist, but all the fun of one does.
More akin to a ballerina than a hannish dancer, Herb is versed in using chakrams. He uses aetheric tethers to direct and manipulate the blades to his will. They're kinda spicy.
Herb is known for his steadfast yet bouyant personality. He knows boundaries yet understands how to push the hopes of others forward.
Herb, quite literally, has doll-like eyes. They're very dull and almost not shiny in the least bit. A little unnerving in some instances if he looks at you directly.
A Bit O' Lore
Who Are You?
A Simple Life
Wanted and More
Herb, is as referenced, a living doll, a mannequin, a giant 'toy'. While he doesn't look entirely artificial from the outside, he very much could raise some questions due to the seams around his joints. Upon closer inspection, he's just weird, a little too perfect to look at. But as a person himself, Herb is very much a joyful, punkish, dork. He enjoys playing games, doing things, and adventuring here and there.Really, sitting still is one of his least favorite things to do. When he's painting he prefers to stand and move about rather than sit. Oh yeah, painting, a huge passion of his. Mostly of landscapes but he does dabble in people and animals. If you want a portrait, maybe ask him to sketch something in his sketch book?
Yes, adventuring is a passion of his, but Herb just general enjoys roaming about and having fun and meeting new people. He might not always say the right thing or mean something the way it was said, but that doesn't mean it's gonna stop him!After splitting from his other half, Halen, on literally all levels including physical he's regained a lease on his life, and by the Gods he's going to use that freedom. No more sharing a body he's definitely going to be his own person and make the most of it.
Might be a little dangerous, but he's kind of sought after and not in the greatest of ways. Herb is an ex-pirate captain of the Krakenguard pharmaceutical division and really would rather run from it than deal with it. It might cause problems, it might not. Whomst the fucketh knows.He doesn't let his past interfere with his present or his incoming future, however. Herb knows what Herb wants to live and do so he's going to do it. Despite that, he does have waking nightmares of his time there due to the heavy abuse he suffered; this may lead to extreme bouts of anger and aggression from him before he shuts down and apologizes for snapping.
