The Mercenary's Pub

"Sorry, we don't have steak here." A serving girl said to the wolfman who had just entered, setting some drinks down on a table for some thirsty mercenaries. She turned around. "But we do have... AH!" She shrieked, upon seeing that the newcomer was actually some sort of beastman. Heads turned, and a few of the more xenophobic mercenaries lowered their hands to their swords, eyeing the creature warily. Others simply turned back to their food.

The bartender, a slightly pale middle aged man with short brown hair, some stubble, and an eyepatch, had a nervous expression on his face - whether it was because he feared a fight would break out, or that the wolfman wished harm upon him, or that he would drive away business, was unknown. Perhaps it was all of those things. Then he turned to Algirdeas, who had been repeatedly asking for Gabriel.

"Gabriel's over there." The bartender said, pointing a finger down at the other end of the bar. There, a lone man sat on a stool with his head down on the bar, fast asleep. He was in his mid thirties, with medium length black hair, tan skin, and a goatee. He wore sturdy leather boots, wool pants, and a cotton shirt. On his back was a battered hunting bow and a quiver with half a dozen arrows, and on his belt was a sharpened woodcutters axe. That was Gabriel. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Name: Seth Lux
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Physical Appearance: Seth's appearance is a living model of discipline. His dirty blonde hair is a few steps up in length from a military cut, but is always well-maintained, ending at the base of his neck and just shy of his ears. He has never been seen with facial hair dotting his prominent jawline, and his skin is well tanned from the hours of daily conditioning required to preserve his muscled physique.

Seth is 5'6, standing considerably shorter than most of his paladin allies. This, along with his smooth complexion and lack of facial hair, has lead to jokes about missing *******, though Seth clearly carries the voice and body of a grown man.

Clothing/Armor: Seth usually wears his paladin armor- a set of silver plate armor decorated with flutings and faux gold etchings. On the plate is printed the symbol of Mora. While not in his armor he opts to wear a simple white tunic and trousers. He carries a silver kiteshield that is also decorated with the symbol of Mora.

Weapon(s): A trusty steel longsword. Embedded in the hilt is a nickel-sized sapphire that has been enchanted to help channel holy energy.
Magic: Limited experience with holy energy. Can create lights and harm undead.

Short History: Born to very religious parents on the mainland, Seth was sent to Daralt at the age of 12 to join the fledgling order of paladins there. Instilled with a deep sense of chivalry and justice, Seth has worked hard at helping the population of Daralt and has nearly attained the position of paladin knight.

Taking notice of the distaste Seth holds for the not-so noble denizens of Daralt, the paladins of the Cathedral tasked him with helping the poor. He will not be allowed to take his position as paladin knight until he has proven he can work to help those in need, whether they deserve it or not.

Innes

Entering the establishment, Innes gave a haphazard look about its selection of inebriated inhabitants. Taking in the scene before anyone could realise she were gawking, she separated the riff-raff from those she deemed more… interesting. As she moved toward the bar when she caught a glimpse of one such scene, the cutest little thing latching onto the Catgirl’s tail. Grinning ever so slightly, she was about to join them when her eyes darted towards the shrieking service, rewarding Innes with a most curious sight.

She had heard about them in stories, ferocious beasts of claw, fur and… furry tails. Was that tail even real? There, sitting on a stall, was a real life hunk of a werewolf. She realised she must have him! In a platonic sense to raise her fighting strength, of course. But how would she approach him, get his attention?

Creeping behind the man-beast, Innes reached out a cautious hand – not cautious in the sense that she were fearful of the repercussions or the man himself, but that he might foil the ruse early. Would she be successful at grasping that tail?

((Lagasse, that seems like a very interesting character, and I'm going to accept it, but could you better explain the nature of his "help others" task? Like, is he just going to do standard mercenary work for free or something?)) Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

((Thanks man. That's pretty much the idea. He's used to vanquishing evil and fighting for justice, now he needs to learn how to get over his pride and be the champion of the disadvantaged. My bad for being vague, hopefully this motivation will allow him to act differently than most other characters but still allow him to fit into different scenarios.))

((Alright then. Feel free to write up an introduction.

Edit: By the way, the Paladins are currently working on hunting the vampire - small groups patrolling the Slums at night. That's something you can get involved in if you want to, although your efforts won't be likely to bear fruit until the weekend.)) Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

They day had started like any other for Seth. He woke from his bed in the barracks, cleaned himself to the immaculate standard he was known for, one that would make Mora herself proud, ate a wholesome, nutrient-rich meal prepared by the Cathedral sisters, and went on a run in the open field around the city he had so lovingly protected for the past nine years.

He was about to become intimate with the city he never had before. Today when he returned from his exercise and donned his silver armor, he would not be venturing out with his fellow paladins. No, while they patrolled the city for a vampire, Seth made his way through the slums.

Striding through the dirty street in shining armor and a blade by his side, Seth had no reason to fear the locals. Yet, as he willed himself to smile and wave in response to sideways glances and looks of suspicion, a feeling of discomfort welled inside the paladin initiate. Not all of the lower class residents were shady, quite a few even regarded Seth kindly. Others were half expecting to be arrested. After a while he passed into the Market District, where he would find the employer his masters had suggested.

Seth pushed open the doors of the Sleeping Goblin, biting his tongue to keep his smile in place as he was hit with a wave of stench. The smell of alcohol hung thick in the air, blood and sweat could be smelled from the arena outside, and a trace of what was no doubt Fareroot Elixir lingered between the floorboards.

"Hello." Seth spoke firmly, crossing his arms as he addressed the patrons of the bar. "May I speak to Davis?"

((A few problems with your post.

1) Gabriel is in the Mercenary's Pub, not the Sleeping Goblin Inn.
2) The paladins are patrolling the Slums, not the Rich District.
3) All three of the city's prominent Inns - the Sleeping Goblin, the Mercenary's Pub, and the Dancing Dragon, are by the market.

That said, I do appreciate the little details you put in to the post.)) Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

((Oh, my bad, I misread it. Sorry.

Now I'm sort of breaking my own No-OOC rule. If I have anything to say about your posts in the future, it will be on the Story And Roleplay Chat Thread, stickied at the top of the page. If you have any questions or concerns, I would encourage you to place them there as well.)) Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.
