So what in the world is a "Hebdomadal Persona?" Just a fancy-pants way of saying "Character of the Week" - that's all! Each week, we're hoping to show you a new character that could be, or has been crafted for use in the game of Untold. Feel free to use them as examples of how to create characters, free characters for your own games, or whatever. Our intent is to give you cool, free stuff that makes your game better -- while, at the same time, showing the world how flexible and easy to use Untold really is!
As with all of the characters that we present to you on Untoldthegame.com, each persona is only ONE of the infinite possibilities for the character. It is provided to inspire and guide you, NOT force you into using this character "as is". Feel free to use the characters as a starting point for your own, as a featured character in your own game, or not at all -- it is completely up to you!
However you decide to use the characters, please provide us with feedback - comment on our website or drop us a line in our forums, or submit your own character write-up; we'd love to hear from you!
If you like these Hebdomadal Personas, please let us know by leaving a comment - or post in our forums and let us know what you think! Post your own characters to - you never know - we just might highlight one of YOUR creations, and make it an official Hebdomadal Persona too!
Looking forward to hearing from you, and seeing what Untold inspires you to create! As always - don't let your story go Untold!
Stash
Alias: The Fang of the North, The Sly Bear
Race: Apoc Churl
Aspects: Body 8, Mind 3, Soul 1
Sex: Male; Height: 8'4"; Weight: 442 lbs
"The long night of the north sea cannot bring me to heel; why should you be the one to master me?"
Character Description/Notes: Stash, often referred to as the Sly Bear by the Churl tribes of his northern homeland, is something of a legend; a aurora-spawned Flux storm one long winter night spat several horrors into his tribe's encampment on the northern shores. While many of his tribesmen fell in the ensuing battle, his raw, animalistic cunning allowing him to outflank and slay most of the writhing abominations. More remarkable was his behavior the rest of that winter, hunting Flux-spawned horrors until he was an expert in their destruction; many of the smaller tribes have members who owe their lives to the sudden appearance of the Fang of the North from a snowdrift, his glistening spear piercing some monstrosity just before it could kill.
Bulk
Alias: Bethleus’an (Real Name)
Race: L'na Dawn
Aspects: Mind 5, Body 8, Soul 1
Sex: Male Aspect; Ht: 15'; Wt: 1600 lbs.
"The ice moves slowly. Unstoppable. Inexorable. It will always win….like me."
Character Description/Notes: Bulk is a massive brute of primal power and stark harshness, like the ice swept environs he calls home. A great walrus-like L'na, Bulk is aptly named by the local Churl tribes; he is well over five meters in length and nearly seven hundred and fifty kilos. His skin is smooth and hairless except for whiskers about his mouth and scimitar tusks, a mottled gray/white that blends with the barren shores of his coastal haunts.
Beta Three
Alias: Brother, Blade Brother Beta, Kil'klik
Race: Sand Sniper
Aspects: Body 11
Sex: Male; Ht/(Length): 6' 1"; Wt: 190 lbs.
"Life with my blood brothers was hard — fighting humans and Klik — but life with my blade brothers is infinitely worse."
Black Op
Alias: None (Real Name Unknown)
Race: Apoc High-bred
Aspects: Body 4, Mind 3
Sex: Male; Ht: 6' 6"; Wt: 174 lbs.
"That's need-to-know only, kid, and you? You don't need to know."
Iq'yigat
Race: L'na Twilight
Aspects: Body 2, Mind 3, Soul 1
Sex: Male aspect; Ht: 5' (at shoulder), 15'(length); Wt: 245 lbs.
Character Description/Notes: The L'na known as Iq'yigat lived his entire existence in the dark, hidden places of Ai - guarding and maintaining the black world of the crushing depths as well as the mysterious secrets found within them. He knew the friendship of beings no others had ever once seen, enigmatic entities untouched by the flow of time or sting of harsh sky's light. He knew things that had no words for air or fire, yet whispered to him of the profundities of the very beginning. Ancient and powerful knowledge was his to share, his to protect... and then it was all gone.
Sunny
Alias: Sunathet to the ancient Egyptians
Race: L'na Dawn
Aspects: Body 6, Mind 4, Soul 4
Sex: Female aspect; Ht: 5' (at shoulder), 9'0 (length); Wt: 450 lbs.
"We were old when Man was young."
Character Description/Notes: Sunny is a female aspect L'na Dawn that appears to be leonine in her primary appearance, yet she possesses a very male-like lion's mane. Her form combines the yellows of the desert sand and winds alongside the browns of the ancient mountains and stones. Her mane is interspersed with colorful pinnate quill-like feathers and her belly and tail are armored with fine scales, reminiscent of the scintillating skin of a serpent.
Long ago the L'na could cross the gulfs of reality; some readily do so into the present era. Sunny and many of her companions were such spherical navigators, passing over the seas of time and space. Then they arrived in the desert kingdoms of fabled Egypt nearly six thousand years before the present era.
Quicksand
Alias: None known
Race: L'na Dawn
Aspects: Body 7, Mind 5, Soul 3
Sex: Female aspect; Ht: 7' (at shoulder); Wt: 2000 lbs.
"I swear by the wind and the sands - the two-legs are NOT to be trusted!"
Character Description/Notes: Born of the wild stretches of sand and sun-burnt stone, Quicksand lives as free and fierce as the desert where Ai birthed her. She loved the hidden beauty and vitality the scorched land veiled, her eyes attuned to notice each mole, bat, and scorpion hidden in the shadows of the day. Quicksand rejoiced in dancing duels with sand sprites and racing other dawns over the vast plains, the constant cycle of blazing sun and frosty eve a continual procession of unquenchable life. She knew nothing better than basking in the warmth of her world, riding a draft in tune with the melodic thrum of Ai.
Greenslick
Alias: Green-mother
Race: L'na Twilight
Aspects: Body 3, Mind 4, Soul:5
Sex: Female aspect; Ht: 4' (at shoulder); Wt: 670 lbs.
"Fear not, children. While you may not be of Ai, you are now of ME."
Character Description/Notes: Greenslick has been a lover of vibrant life since her inception, tending to the flora and fauna along Ai's muggy banks. Her's was the task of keeping the algae and aquatic world in harmony, blending the balance of its invisible parts with those most seen in a curious splendor. She felt her time would come to merge with Ai along those timeless banks, with their ever flowing tides drawing new wonders past her domain on their slow drifting path to the Emerald Sea. Greenslick reveled in this legacy, her calling both adventurous and secure.
Shadow
Alias: Shadow (True name currently unknown)
Race: L'na Twilight
Aspects: Body 5, Mind 5;
Sex: Male aspect; Ht: 4' (at shoulder); Wt: 800 lbs.
"How do I kill them?"
Character Description/Notes: Shadow has a sordid past. Little of it is known to him or anyone else. Shadow has memories of Ai, memories of what life was like before he was transported. His memories of Ai are few and far between. Shadow remembers what he is and where he is from, but not his true name or how he came to be on Apoc-Earth.
Shadow, however, is a survivor...
Oru
Name: Oru
Alias: None known
Race: L'na Twilight
Aspects: Body 2, Mind 4, Soul 4
Sex: Male aspect; Ht: 3' 4"; Wt: 60 lbs.
"Come along and I will show something no one has seen in a thousand years."

He has four limbs, and one set are actually bat wings, the rear pairs are used for locomotion on the ground, with the wings themselves tucked to his side. With his large, luminous yellow eyes, large ears, and moth-like antenna, Oru is a creature of the night.
