i thought that, since there are new people joining, the established characters ought to post something about their character, just to explain what's happening. the new guys could tell us something about their characters, too.

my character is called Jal. [i have another, Rettick, but he's away on a vision quest in the forest at the moment.] Jal is a mudokon, and has only one arm. this is a disadvantage in the RPG, because it means he can only hold one weapon.

his current weapon is a stick. it is powerful, but seems to exert some kind of control over Jal. he is very protective of the stick, and often assumes that people are trying to steal it from him. it causes violent mood swings.

so far, only Sligit [that's darksider, here] seems to have expressed any concern at Jal's condidtion. like an addiction, Jal is vaguely aware of the stick's influence, but refuses to admit it. whenever he seems to almost acknowledge the stcik's bad influence, it causes a violent attack on anyone nearby, and so people try to avoid the subject of the stick around him, even though he never seems to put it down.

so, that's Jal. could everyone else introduce their character, please?
