Taro Stark - Base Ref by Lapseph

Taro Stark - Base Ref

Lapseph

Oh-KAY, proper introductions time! Nearly two years post-conception.... XD XD
Starting with his base underlying form and outfit!

Stories tell of him as "The Thief of the World Tree", a mischievous godling who fled the realm of the gods with stolen treasures of legend, a creature that roams the world even now, yet to be caught by the gods he betrayed.

Or at least, that's kind of the concept? Hard to say how well that's played out? XD But I gotta keep within the rules somehow and-- it took a year and a half for the game to start so... plans got muddle and evolved, etc, etc... XD XD While I am playing an actual class, Relic Channeler, a variant of the Medium class, the Relics/Totems I started with and have been finding over time are all home-brewed by the GM to fit my motif. Aaand because obviously it'd be a bit unfair for a player to be playing a literal god, lols, he's otherwise being played as a typical 'furfolk' archtype using stats Stank made for another game... aaaand we've logic'ed out his loss of power and immortality to the fact that he's cut himself off from Yggdrasil, which, in my mind, is where he'd have gained his more otherworldly aspects.

The name Taro Stark is a "cover" that I thought would be clever and no one would catch on to. Like, I thought about randomly grabbing the names of popular squirrels from literature and interchanging them on the fly, but that would have stood out too much. Instead, I hid things in plain sight where nobody would think to look.... because Taro Stark is just an anagram of Ratatoskr. XD

    So is that hammer enchanted with a spell to let only those who are worthy pick it up? Or is it a fake and this guy is actually a "God of Mischief"?

    • Link

      Haha! I'd probably lean a little more into the latter?
      But it's not necessarily a "fake" though, just kind of a lesser duplicate? So anyone can use it as a normal weapon, but you'd have to be aligned/attuned to the spirit of Thor for it's full potential and accompanying powers to come out.

      Kinda like over here,

        His abilities and personality do kind of line up more with Loki than Thor though, what with the illusions and trickery.

        • Link

          Yeah, he's actually got something lined up for that too. XD It's just harder to show off, usually.

            So he's basically what would happen if Rocket Raccoon was raised in Asgard

              thinks about it
              ......yes? XD
