From the dawn of time we came…moving silently down through the centuries. Living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the gathering, when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you…..until now.
Highlander is the story of a race of people known as immortals. They can only be killed by getting their head chopped off and they never age after their first death. Now the few who remain must fight for their lives against a few powerful immortals who want the prize. The prize gives the last living immortal the ability to see into the minds of everyone in the world and a vast wealth of knowledge. The gathering has begun and only one will see it through to the end.
Rules:No killing off other people's characters without permission (This rule becomes invalid when we start reaching the end of the RP)
No er*t*c role-playing is allowed
No godmodding.
A human wouldn't know how to kill an immortal unless they were told how by an immortal, so don't make a human character some powerful hunter guy or something like that.
Every immortal has a sword so don't expect to be losing a fight and then you blow your opponent away with a rocket launcher to win.
An understanding of Highlander beyond what I have given isn't required but it is recommended
We will ignore the sequels (because they blow) and the TV shows because they are a separate continuity (and because all but one of them blow) and we ignore the anime because it is not considered cannon.

Name:Connor McCloud
Age:501
Gender:Male
Immortal or human:Immortal
Personality:Connor is kind and caring using his immortal powers to help people rather than terroize them. Conner shares a comradeship with many of the other immortals and often times will not instigate a fight with them. Connor does have a sarcastic side to him and he often times sees his immortality as a curse.
Background:Conner became the leader of clan McCloud in the Scottish Highlands. However he was killed by the Kurgan in 1536 and came back as an immortal. People of his clan believed him to be possessed by a demon using his corpse so they exiled him. Connor found love with a woman named Heather who he spent a happy life with until she died of old age. Sometime during his relationship with Heather another Immortal named Remírez took Connor under his wing, Remírez trained Conner to be the most powerful immortal so he could defeat the Kurgan. During the Kurgan's search for Connor the Kurgan killed Remírez. After Remírez died Connor wandered the world; eventually stumbling into a village on the midst of a Nazi invasion, and while has there he saved a little girl and raised her like a daughter. However he left her to lead her own life when he killed the Kurgan somewhere between 41 and 46 years later.
Weapons:Connor uses a special sword made using secret techniques making it unique and extra durable.

//I know this is years later, but I'd be super down for a Highlander-style RP.
