[OOC] Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

[Warrior in the Shadows]

@TheWizardLizard For instance, I left some of Hanzo's backstory open for a possible quest later on, and I could even see Hanzo and Hugh sharing some aspects of their history.

@Penultimate_Pi

I see. Shoot me a PM if you wish TO DISCUSS.

[Afina]

Okay two things - There was a rule edit placed at the bottom of the Original OOC post, so please make note of it. the second is that Warrior has been added as Co-Gm. (He has been a long term Rm friend and has helped with setting this up. So it is GM is Goddess and Co-Gm is God - quiver in the presence of the W.i.t.s.)

Personality: Typically a very level-headed and calm person, Zarxire has spent many years training to learn everything he could. Though in the heat of battle, he loses all sense of focus and lashes out at everything that stands in his way until everything that defies him is dead.
History: Born to a small Tiefling community, Zarxire was a rather happy and average child. The day he turned 10, raiders destroyed his town. They were seeking to eliminate the "demon scum". All he remembers of this horrifying massacre were the flames boiling around him before he passed out. Luckily, the raiders thought him dead and passed him over, Zarxire woke up with nothing but burning ashes remaining of his town. After wandering in the wilds, learning all about it and how to survive in it, he finally came across a wizard's home on the edge of the woods. Due to him being young, his tails and horns had not grown in yet, so the wizard thought he was human and adopted the boy. Zarxire learned everything he could about magic, religion, the planes his kind originated from, and everything he could about the people, their culture, and their land. He would walk around the village that was not far from the wizard's house and would study the people, learning how they ticked. Sadly, as he grew older the only magic he could learn was fire magic which hinted at his origins. but when his horns started to grown in, it was obvious. The wizard sold him out the the militia, and Zarxire fled back into the woods, taking all the books he could with him. He built his own shelter, studied the books he had scavenged as well as a couple he had bought at markets if he could hide his horns and tail. Zarxire swore to fight against any and all injustice, whether it was dealt be demon, monster, human, or royalty. One day, he saw the notices for The Convent and saw it as his chance to prove himself. By helping a holy church, it would prove that he wasn't just some malicious demon. Not to mention that but his knowledge of the world would be very beneficial to the group. So Zarxire packed his books and made his way to the Village of Gorlton’s Apothecary immediately, wondering who he would be teamed up with.

@KronshiHey Kronshi! Was wondering when you were gonna stop by. Everything looks good and you are free to post over on the CS page. ^_^ Big change from the little halfling piggy backing on Hughs back, lol

[Kronshi]

@Afina Yeah, I just woke up and instantly started working on this guy. Toke me awhile since it's been awhile since I've played a mage of any kind.

[Afina]

@Kronshi Looks good, can't wait to see how he rps. Will be a different twist in the group, should make things interesting.

[Kronshi]

@Afina I thought we needed a know it all smarty-pants to throw off the fighters, but I had to make it were if they pissed him off it would give them a run for their money. Not to mention that but waaaaaaaaayyy to many humans, and one elf, we needed this guy to offset that.

[Warrior in the Shadows]

Yeah, but usually it's way too many elves, so no griping about this wonderful change.

[Afina]

@Kronshi hehe, don't worry, we have at least one more non human showing up to offset the human factor. Horrid should be along shortly with his character ~grins evilly~

[Penultimate_Pi]

Yeah, sorry about the overload of puny boring humans. I'm just that kind of person that tends to play those, more often than not.

[Afina]

@Penultimate_Pi lol No it's fine. We have just had a lot of campaigns where there were like 1-2 humans, a dozen elves and a handful of other races.

[TheWizardLizard]

Yeah, I'd rather see too many humans as opposed to too few. Diversity is important, but when everyone's special, nobody is.

Hell, Tobias as a character originated as a desperate effort to inject some normalcy into a party consisting of an elf, a gnome, two half-werewolves and a tiefling.

@Kronshi@Dragoknighte@TheWizardLizard@Double Capybara@Penultimate_Pi@Luminosity Okay, those that do not have it but would like access to the chat room I run for Rp's I host please send me a pm and I will send you the link. You're welcome to join @Warrior in the Shadows and me in chat to hang out, discuss things or to see what else is going on.

[Dragoknighte]

I actually kind of wanted to be the only non-human after like 5 humans were made.

Also @TheWizardLizard how does a half-werewolf even exist? Lycanthropy is a curse, not a race.

[TheWizardLizard]

I don't know @Dragoknighte. I don't know. Ask D&D 4e- apparently it has rules for it. They're called Shifters, and they come in half-werewolf and half-weretiger flavors.

[Dragoknighte]

So does that mean if I catch a cold and then have a kid while I'm still sick, they'll be half-influenza?

[Afina]

[Afina]

Okay, we are live, the IC is up. One post per person ONCE you reach the apothecary shop. Free rotation until then in case you need a bit of time to get there..

Edit: And to those that were working on Cs sheets but did not finish before we went live, no problem, just finish them up when you can and let me have a gander and approve the final copy before posting it in the CS page.

[Dragoknighte]

So our group will be very poor starting out. Our total coinage among all of us might be 30 GP if we're lucky.

[Warrior in the Shadows]

@Dragoknighte

What do you mean by, coinage? And why does it mean anything?
