I haven't slept in days. I was finishing something with my typewriter when I found the site. Yay steampunk! Character General Details Name: High Lord, the Duke of Nautillia, Maximillian Gennadius Worthington the August Age: 43 Gender: male Race: human Profession: He is a highly credited member of the Royal Intrepid Explorer's Gentlemen's Club for the highly publicized search for the Lost Hidden City of Natural Caves to whom the Mysterious and Highly friendly Rhodents reside. Aside from his membership in the Intrepid Explorer's Gentlemen's Club, High Lord, the Duke of Nautillia, Maximillian Gennadius Worthington the August is an accredited member of the Really Useful Scribe Guild. He is the owner of the airborne vehicle the HMS Beautiful Crone, the first fully functional and one of a kind Airship of the Line, capable of land, sea or air operations. Spell Caster: no Appearance Details Overall Appearance Description: A lionesque man by all standards High Lord, the Duke of Nautillia, Maximillian Gennadius Worthington the August sports a dashing figure amongst the members of the Royal Intrepid Explorer's Gentlemen's Club. His bushy red hair lined with streaks of wispy grey hair has given him a look endearing that most of the other club members describe as being a lionesquian value to it. He has a powerful moustache which he keeps with vanity unbridled. He also has a habit of wearing a monocle on his right eye. His large frame and tall built adds more to his legend as a man of immense capability. Putting his physical description aside, his mental capabilities is that of a polymath. He is interested in all fields of science and regularly donates a lot of his money to the advancement of steam technology. He is one of the most zealous members of the club albeit the third-in-command. He also commands disdain among the club members for his liberal yet surprisingly workable ideas. His motto is: "Compromise." Maximillian's choice of clothing depends upon what form of function he is going to. At the Club, he wears his normal everyday clothes, which is quite resplendent and charming to look at but hard enough to ward of a well placed sword strike. During special occasions he wears a suit befitting his rank, this of course he hates since the medals and all the sashes and banners jingle as he walks by. Sometimes he just wears his evening frock coat and pins the medal of the Order of St. Vladimir the Heretic. On most days you can easily spot the 7'2 giant wearing his expedition outfit which he has taken quite a fancy to wear quite recently. On the battlefield however not much is known what he wears but it is presumed that he dons his Admiralty uniform when on the bridge and wears his mechanical suit when on the ground. This however has been mounted on a spate of mounting hysteria from the church since it was never verified that Maximillian goes to war since he has always been the one to engage in diplomacy to avoid conflict. It is well known among the members of the club that Maximillian was always the pacifist. he's the gruff man on the lower right side Personal Details Sexuality: Being chaste and celibate, Maximillian does not care what other think of him. Marital Status: none Education: Educated personally by his thirteen eccentric grandparents, Maximillian's views on the world are rather odd but logical. Unable to conjure magic and spells his education has focused primarily on the field of philosophy and science. His skills with machines is highly regarded amongst the other nations. At an early age he developed his own personal learning system which enabled him to train his mind to remember anything he wants. He is best described as being a polymath, knowledgeable in many things including the field of magick even though he is not a practitioner. Even at his present age, he still manages to find time to study things he doesn't know. Academic weaknesses: Maximillian never had a gift for the arcane arts, which historically is present in his family's history. The trait being that there is one is not gifted with magick -- this peculiarity is famous among the Worthingtons since it skips a generation. Maximillian seldom fails in his experiments, as the blueprints are already stored inside his mind and he just sets to work the moment he has ample time. Main goal (dream) at this point in time:Maximillian currently is pre-occupied with investigating the recent turn of events discreetly. He also is interested in going on a vacation as soon as his work is done. Overall Personality Description: Quick to anger, quick to laughter is the best phrase that can describe Maximillian. He can be cold and calculating when needed to, never letting his emotions get a hold of him. A useful trait when he is engaged in something that threatens his life or any others around him. Being somewhat of an eccentric, he has several weakness amongst it are his fear of large crowds and large open spaces. He also is a bachelor for life, as one of his traits is his nature to command men but being unable to speak or even win an argument against women, this is psychological problem is attributed to his childhood days when he fell in love. He is easily flustered and cannot communicate properly in person and so an ingenious way of communicating with females mainly sitting in different rooms even when at the war council. A kind and forgiving man, Maximilian is rather genteel and cultured which cannot be easily deduced because of his large physical frame. Another peculiarity present in Maximillian is that the two hemispheres of his brain work differently at the same time which is also another trait present his bloodline which also skips a generation. He is very resistant if not immune to advanced mind techniques only suffering a small twitch in his ears. He does not follow the teachings of the church calling them personally a blasphemy against the laws of the natural sensibility of things. The church however is powerless to stop him ever since the Grand Canonical Events several years ago, during which Maximillian debated with several church figures and disproved their teachings with human rhetoric and logic. There are however times that require him to forget being cultured, and it is during these times that Maximillian's skill in advanced weaponry comes in coupled with an unnatural yet highly surprising array of modern scientific ways of disposing an enemy. As a scientist the weapons at his disposal are top of the line if not a bit flashy. As a well-traveled man, he has surprisingly good knowledge of ancient arts known only to a few extinct tribes. He is a brute at war but a well-mannered fun loving chum at tea time. His views on wars and large scale conflicts however have been quite eccentric. Recently he has proposed that only the heads of the army or of the state be the ones to duke it out on the public arena to save time, while the army cheers the two leaders fight it out to the death and afterwards everybody drinks a toast to everyone's good health. Background Details History/Background: Born to a noble family Maxiimillian Gennadius Worthington the August, inherited his mother's fierce nature and his father's docile and logical composure. Being the only child he had to grow up, quite forcibly, with a diamond-encrusted silver spoon in his mouth. He spat it out and settled for the wooden spoon. Noted amongst the genealogical traits of the Worthingtons is the trait there is always one incapable of the arcane arts that skips a generation. Maximillian's parents were uber gifted in the arts but Maximillian was not. This brought him to the attention of his eccentric yet lovable relatives and grandparents who were incapable of the arcane but were skilled machinists and scientists. When he was fifteen Maximillian joined an expedition funded by the Royal Intrepid Explorer's Gentlemen's Club to explore the unknown regions in the Land of the Giant Pygmies. The expedition met with disaster and several of the members of the expedition were eaten alive by the Rabid Humongous Hamsters of Bath who were attracted to magic in particular. With the half of the group dead and decomposing, one fourth of the half of the third of the members still alive decided to abandon the expedition and so they traced their journey back only to be dragged to oblivion by the Ever Hungry Antlions of Doom in the deserts of Hasarah. Maximillian was not one of them. Along with the remaining members of the expedition, they trudged the rugged peaks of the Mallow Ridges and finished the expedition. At age 18, Maximillian was inducted to the Guild of Really Useful Scribes and at 19 he was a lifetime member of the Royal Intrepid Explorer's Gentlemen's Club. Being a member he has gained fame and fortune to add to his inheritance, not to mention honorary ranks amongst the other nations and countries. His special services has been widely recognized by the Unholy Alliance of Devout Cartographers. During his 23rd year, Maximillian mysteriously dissapeared during a Royal Command Performance of the well known play, Cherries In The Chimneys. This was largely speculated to be in the problem of the lousy performance the maligned actors gave. Maximillian was never found for several years. Maximillian was later spotted, quite by accident by his fellows at an expedition to the Kha'rag Mountains in the east. How Maximillian wound up in that place still remains a mystery. It should however be noted that during his sojourn in the east he had mysteriously learned the secret art of dying gracefully from the strange mystic tribes of the K'lob tribe. When he was 30, Maximilian gained the distinction of Aeronaut First Class at the Royal Sandpipers Military Academy for the Mystically Challenged. His promotion allowed him unbridled access to the Royal Lavatories of Perthshire which he has enjoyed tremendously over the years. It was also during this year that he was promoted to League Junior Quartermaster of the Royal Intrepid Gentlemen's Explorers Club which would also promote him to a higher position later on after the Magical Pretzel Incident. When he finally reached the ripe old age of 31 years 2 days and 32 minutes, Maximillian decided to find a job, just for the fun of it. He found a job at the local florist but was immediately fired the same afternoon for a deadly but highly stunning and beautifully intricate arrangement of the thirteen most poisonous flowers in the kingdom. Distraught over the loss of his employment, he went on a long journey to the lands further to the west and there managed to learn more about the other races from the wizened old sage of the Cairfax Institute of Total Philosophy. It was also there that he learned the ancient art of gargling which the Galangang tribe practiced for centuries as part of their oral tradition. As of the present, Maximilian travels from continent to continent. His motives are not known why. Magic Stats To start with you have 10 points (1 point is worth 1 level).
