[ooc]to hit [dice]1d20+8[/dice]
damage  +12[/ooc]

[ic]Protected from the attack by the base's defenses, Urlaw is no less enraged by the audacity of the assault.  He leaps after the flying machine, intending to strike down the offender. [/ic]

[ooc]Did they pass within jumping distance?  Urlaw has an impressive jump, but out and out flyers are bit beyond his reach.[/ooc]

[ooc]Urlaw's Initiative [dice]1d20+9[/dice] [/ooc]

[ooc]Feel better man![/ooc]

 [ic]As the confrontation in the sky plays our, Urlaw calls upon his powers.  In less than a blink of an eye his entire body is covered in inky darkness, with only the complex, full body tattoos showing through.

He heads for the stairs up to the landingpad, saying "I do not like the look of this."[/ic]

[ooc]Just a request, but could we see everyone's self descriptions and maybe a little bit about their race?  I feel like I'm flying blind on character interaction right now, not having anything to build from.[/ooc]

[ooc] [dice]1d20+12[/dice] [/ooc]

[ic]His eyes drawn to the window by the motion, Urlaw offers "We may have contact before that event."[/ic]

[ooc] [dice]1d20+12[/dice] [/ooc]

 [ic]Leaning against the wall, Urlaw replies "We are discussing the humans?  Certainly their capacity for greatness or depravity has grown in the last hundered years.  Whther they, as a people, have grown with it..." and he shrugs.[/ic]

Real name: Rhaj Athbakar Urlaw
*Alias: Mr. Urlaw, Senor Yurlaj, Comrade Urhlav, etc.
*Age: 123
*Physical description: Urlaw looks like a man of indeterminate age, of mixed Asian and Eastern European descent.  His skin is a sun darkened brown, he has short cropped black hair, and dark eyes.  He is muscled like a professional athlete, and has a complex, interlocking set of tattoos covering his whole body.
When his powers are activated, which is much of the time, the tattoos and his eyes glow a poisonous green color while the rest of him turns a light drinking black that obscures all details.
*Powers: Urlaw's powers are a combination of innate Lengite abilities and powers granted by the old-speech spells tattooed on his body.  They break down like so:
The Enhanced Abilities, Protection, Super-Strength, Immunities, and Speed are all mystical in nature and granted by the body art.
His Fearsome presence ability is the result of the key sigil, a symbol that appears on his forehead when his powers are active, that is loathsome and painful to human sight.  It takes an act of will to even attempt to read it, as the eyes of the observer water, then bleed from prolonged exposure.  He can dim or brighten the symbol at will, and it is not present as a tattoo, only as a glowing sigil when his powers are active.
The Regeneration is a result of his heritage, and all Lengites possess it.
*Source of powers:  Extensive magical alteration and extra-dimensional origin.
*Notable skills/knowledge: Urlaw has in depth knowledge of arcane practices, a detailed grasp of history gained from study in the libraries of Leng and personal experience from a long life, as well as highly honed senses and physical prowess.
*Background/Origin:
Leng, Specifically the Plateau of Leng, is a kind of inter dimensional nexus.  The walls between worlds are thin in some places, but in Leng, they are thin everywhere.  For much of the time before pre-recorded history this meant that it served as a way station for the Old Ones and their servants.  And even though the ancient powers have been bound away for eons, their touch can still be seen and felt in the frozen halls of Leng.

The Denizens of Leng arose from the abandoned servants of the Old Ones.  They appear in varying forms - from the totally alien looking, to those that can pass for human in all but the most detailed inspections.  Even those that can pass must avoid hospitalization, as their internal workings share traits with mushrooms, cephlopods, insects, as well as mammals.  Yet, despite all this, they are close enough to their human ancestors that they can interbreed.  Lengites all share a gift for magic, and to some degree, the touch of their archaic masters.

Despite the taint, the Plateau has served as a meeting point and bazaar for magical practitioners and dimensional travelers since the rise of man.  As a result, word of Leng can be found in esoteric lore all over the world, and for the determined, travel there is just a matter of applying force in the right manner.  The return trip is often more costly, but travelers and the incautiously curious continue to find their way to the frost haunted streets of Leng.

The Lengites themselves are often inscrutable, as they are guided by a council of elders whose lives stretch back thousands of years, many whom can recall first hand encounters with their sanity crushing masters of old.  They are not active as other remnants (such as the Deep Ones) in efforts to return the Old Ones to the world, but they do still revere them, and the libraries of Leng hold the greatest collected lore about the Primeval Powers in existence.  Sages who know of the paths to reach the forbidden streets of Leng speak of the inhabitants as aloof, eccentric, and merciless.  For all intents and purposes this is a correct description.

It seemed natural for those of Leng to side with the Thulians against the rest of the Hidden.  For reasons of their own, and perhaps unknowable to any not possessed of their often alien mindset, those of Leng choose the other side.  And so Rhaj Athbakar Urlaw, Denizen of Leng and Physical Adept, was sent to join the other good will emissaries.

Urlaw himself is the child of a Russian mystic and a Lengite sorceress.  Such unions are uncommon, but not unknown in Leng, and the mixed ancestry holds no stigma.  Indeed, his parentage is largely responsible for his very human-like appearance and such individuals are valued for their ability to pass between worlds and return with news of human civilization.  This was Urlaw's task for much of his life, and he traveled the world observing events and reporting back to the Council.  Now, with the Hidden revealing themselves he was chosen to represent Leng, and move among the humans once more, no longer hiding his nature, but serving as an emissary of his people.

*Allies: Leng has never made alliances with other races or civilizations.  Their extreme remoteness, neutrality, and mystical might have allowed them to stay free agents throughout history.  Urlaw himself has some contacts in the darker sections of many cities all over the world, but no one close, and none that he trusts.
*Enemies: the Thulians

 [ic]Urlaw's room is relatively unadorned, but what is present is a mix of time periods.  In addition to a few items of extra-dimensional origin, he has decorated the room with books and items from the last 100 years, from all over the world.  A Soviet propaganda print is hung next to an original promotional poster for Enter the Dragon, and on the desk a button for the Kennedy presidential campaign sits next to an armband from the Italian facist party.

Urlaw himself is sitting on a meditation mat as the call comes in, and he slowly rises from his contemplative pose before heading out to answer the page.[/ic]

Woohoo!

Sounds good.  Looking forward to it.

Xanthan had to correct me 3 separate times.  My math is that bad.

Sounds good.  It'll give me a chance to go over some of the issues you talked about in your PM too :)

Still working on the Char.  Just checking in.
