The Call of the Abyss

[Blewcheese]

Jack shakes his head solemnly, his eyes still staring at William. "No. Max was the magician with books about shadows, darkness, and mysterious gems. Will didn't know about such things."

I'm not sure if this is still active or not, but I'd like to join.

Name: Kar'shaeux

Gender: Male

Race: unknown

Appearance: Kar'sheaux, at first glance, is an average human. The first quality that would strike an observer is his oddly purple-tinted skin. Additionally, he is abnormally short at a height of 3 feet. His fingernails are long and resemble claws. He wears a turban made of the pelts and skins of the beings that he has slain. No one is sure what is under that turban. His clothes are are a pure white and are laced with small bits of gold. He has a large eye in the center of his chest, though no one can see it under his clothes.

Abilities: He tastes whatever he touches. He can remove his chest-eye and transform it into anything that is smaller than himself.

Personality: He is sneaky yet talkative.

(It isn't. Sorry.)

 

"And yet, the knowledge remains, Jack.."

[Blewcheese]

"It does, doesn't it..." Sadness resided in the snail's tone as he looked up at his brother. "Then again, I've learned quite a bit about those things too." Jack sighed thoughtfully before speaking again. "Does that mean I am no longer Jack?"

[Silentdarkness1]

"We are still ourselves.....but the definition of who we actually are, is somewhat different, now."

[DivineProvidence]

Hello! I'm new to the Klei forms, and I was wondering if there was any spaces for an oc to be filled, if that's okay, if there's people waiting then forget about it but if not is it ok if I join thanks...

[Silentdarkness1]

"Somewhat?" Jack spat bitterly. "Look at me! I'm a snail!" After looking down at his body to ensure that yes, he was indeed a snail, he gazed up at William once more. "Then again, I didn't get the worst in terms of transformation, did I...?

[DivineProvidence]

Thanks! Here's my oc...

Name: Alex(ander) Brigsburry

Race: Human British (Scottish but with no accent doesn't look Scottish either)

Sex: Female (name is explained in backstory)

Age: 19

Personality: Often seen as being rather off putting,Alex is shown to be unsympathetic, cold and to some,rather cruel.. She does however have some good qualities to her too being somewhat loyal and willing to put her life on the line for those she values as friends.

Backstory:

Born and raised in the Bonny hills of Scotland, Alex was a mistake, her mother leaving when she was born, at her christening, her drunkard father gave her the masculine name of Alexander instead of the feminine Alexandra, when she turned six or seven she started hearing voices in her head malicious voices speaking of other worlds and other worldly creatures, this continued during the rest of her child hood until the voices started manifesting themselves into shadows, despite this and her father's abuse, Alex quickly became advanced beyond her years trading sociality for academic skills, she worked at a governmental weapons and warfare office, designing weapons for use in future wars before being sent to the world of Don't Starve...

Abilities:

Shadows incarnate:

The voices of her childhood comes back as claw like arms sprouting from her upper back, despite being somewhat annoying and having a mind of their own, they seem keen to protect Alex from any dangers or maybe they just want to protect them selves either way their useful..:

Mind of a engineer:

Has a weapon creator for the government, Alex knows a thing or two about making weapons and tools even bring along her own flintlock pistol to the wilderness.

Fear is one's enemy:

Despite her personality, Alex takes panic attacks and hyperventilates when she see's things or is damaged by things such as the grue or the insanity hallucinations causes her insanity to plummet..

Asthma:

Unknown to most, Alex suffers from asthma and has to carry her inhaler every where in case of an asthma attack

Appearance:

Long golden brown (more brown than gold) hair which reaches mid back, pale blueish grey eyes, dark circles under eyes looks like she hasn't slept in forever, very pale, gaunt features, almost skeletal, quite tall 5,8 , liking to take pride in how she looks, Alex is almost always seen wearing a grey shirt with 3/4 length sleeves (makes it easier to work), a black waistcoat with a bronze pocket watch, a plain red tie, black trousers and a pair of black loafers, she Is also never seen without her trusty black satchel in which she stores her pistol and other doodads...

Thanks, hope you liked my oc.

[Silentdarkness1]

(Okay, DivineProvidence. You're in. Seems good to me.)

 

"Don't....remind me..."

 

"Are you okay, Ma-....er...William?"

 

"Yes...yes, i'll be fine. Let's just go."

 

They all headed back to the camp.

[DivineProvidence]

(Thanks! When will I join in?)

[Silentdarkness1]

(Whenever you want ,I guess. But sooner rather than later.)

[DivineProvidence]

Waking up from unconsciousness, Alex clawed at her head in pain and realised she couldn't breathe, sloppily searching through her bag she found her inhaler, and with great urgency, breathed in the puff of air like her life depended on it.

Looking around she found herself lying face first in an open savannah, quickly stumbling to her feet, she wiped the dust of her trousers and looked around, she saw a smoke in the distance, taking her pistol out the bag, she loaded it and made her way over to the camp...

[Blewcheese]

Jack sighed, looking up at the sky as the group continued toward the camp. He was sure his brother knew just as well as he that they couldn't put off the issue of Charlie forever, but now was certainly not the time to discuss such matters. Especially not with the other survivors nearby. Normally, the snail would have been able to hear something, or someone, approaching, but he was simply too caught up in his thoughts.

Simon watched the two brothers, an uncommon pairing, as one was a snail and the other a human. Curiosity flooded his eyes, mixed with a dash of innocence. A multitude of questions pulsed through his mind, but he feared that perhaps they shouldn't be asked considering William's reaction to Jack's statement.

[DivineProvidence]

Alex sighed, this camp was farther away than she first thought, the sun was already retreading from the amber sky, she then stood still... Did she hear voices there, human voices! She readied her gun and slowly made her way over...

[DivineProvidence]

Alex looked ahead there was a... Snail? But she was sure she heard something talk... Maybe it was the snail, unknown if it was hostile or not she walked over to it quietly and in a millisecond at the gun against its head

[Silentdarkness1]

Chris growled.

 

"You have 3 seconds to put that gun away, lady."

 

"Oh...no, please don't...."

 

"Ah....hello there, Alexander. Or was it Alexandra? I can't recall."

 

(@DivineProvidence remember that Maxwell is always part of how a character gets into the DS universe, so therefore she should probably recognize Maxwell/William when she sees him. )

[DivineProvidence]

She stared at the well dressed man and in a feat of rage turned the gun towards him, ''You...your the reason I'm here! If it weren't for that damn blueprint you gave me, I never would have built that stupid portal, give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot you now!''

[Silentdarkness1]

"Well, i'm out of ideas. Go ahead and pull that trigger."

 

"Time's up, fool."

 

Chris waved an arm. Suddenly, an invisible force wrenched the gun out of Alex's grasp, levitating it over to him.

 

"Let's try this again. If you're not going to help us, bugger off."

[DivineProvidence]

Alex looked at the group carefully throwing a hateful glance at the well dressed man before turning around to think, the claw like arms on her back lashed out before she slowly retracted them, she thought for a minute before turning back round to face them staring Chris down, she sighed, ''Due to my chances of survival being increased if I go with you, I will regretfully choose to help you...''

[Silentdarkness1]

"Well, good. Just know that if I catch you trying anything, you are going to regret it very much. You'll find yourself in a grassy field with no memories at all, having trouble remembering how to stand up. I'm not going to repeat myself. I hope we understand each other."

 

Chris dropped the pistol at Alex's feet.

 

"Chris, that was a bit cruel!"

 

"She threatened us with a sidearm, Clare. I'm tired of watching people who aren't necessarily evil get pushed around....you know that as well as anyone."

 

( @Blewcheese

 

I'm gonna wait.)

[DivineProvidence]

Alex glanced at Chris and muttered beneath her breath, ''I'd like to see you try...'' Before walking away

[Blewcheese]

Jack watched the newcomer, Alex, apparently, turn around. "If I may ask... Why point a gun at me? You aren't afraid of snails, are you?"

Simon had watched the scene unfold, and remained silent. That is, until he found out that Alex was to help them. At that, he smiled cheerfully. "My name's Simon. Nice to meet you."

[Silentdarkness1]

Suddenly, Chris's voice echoed loudly in Alex's head.

 

<Is that a challenge? Also, you forgot something, didn't you?>

[DivineProvidence]

My gun! She walked back calmly and picked up before turning to the snail, 'no, I am not afraid of snails, I believed that you may have been hostile and try to kill me, but I understand that you are no more than a petty garden snail although a lot bigger,'' She held her head for a second hearing a voice echo in her head, it was the shadows, she looked over at Chris and without think raised her hand in the Air as if to punch him,

''Don't ever invade my personal place again or you will suffer the consequences,'' with that she turned around and headed off towards the camp, fists clenched as she stumbled through the woods.
