So, would it be okay to switch up my backstory a bit? I haven’t made any edits yet but I pretty much have the concept ready to plug in and go.

@Lucius Cypher: Let me see what you come up with? Though as I mentioned to another potential player, since the cast size is small I think it's best to increase variety, and thus I'd consider making him something other then a nem.

@VitaVitaAR I’m hoping to keep him a Nem, but if needed I can change up races. In any case the backstory is similar, but after leaving the mercenary company Dayvt will instead become a bounty hunter, learning a different set of skills that would require stealth, agility, and faster thinking. In keeping with the theme of a cynical type however, while Dayvt does go after criminals, not everyone he hunts down were bad people: most of them are just people who took up a loan or debt and are fleeing from it.

And while there were plenty enough who are violent, it got to the point where Dayvt was usually just finding some deadbeat who’s begging to be set free, Dayvt refuses on a professional principle, knocking them out, and dragging them back to the merchant guild or guards so they can work off their debts. Occasionally the debtors might’ve gotten bodyguards or seeking shelter with a shady group, and these people Dayvt usually just kills. Dayvt would then quit the job and become an adventurer to find some more excitement and hopefully company.

@VitaVitaAR Well, okay. I will rework it though since I was looking forward to playing someone like Vess.

Okay as I was writing this someone just submitted a character that is similar enough to my first paladin idea. It was literally a gentle giant Ingvarr, haha. Now I will just be reworking Vess until she is a paladin, I guess. I don't know. I might have to take a bit since my momentum for joining this RP just shattered against a wall and I have to start from scratch.

good news! i was a bit blue about my chances in this RP, but, ive come up with a character i think will make a good, charismatic paladin. @VitaVitaAR

What are the Reonites' rules on party animals? lol. is there a strict lifestyle they have to lead? I'd also like to know more about cool firepowers or particular religious stuff. other than just anti-slavery, which is badass, because slavery is super lame.

@Zoey Boey: Okay so in terms of a strict lifestyle, naturally moderation is enforced in indulgent things like alcohol. Technically getting a little too hammered isn't going to get your position taken away or something, but it's not going to be looked upon that fondly. So basically a party animal type could be a paladin, it's just their behavior would be treated as on the uncouth side.

As you'd expect, serving justice, protecting the weak, all that kind of stuff is part of being a paladin. Specific to Reonite paladins is the fact they're always going to be more geared for more aggressive conduct, though of course there's not a hard line where only Reonite paladins destroy the wicked and only Mayonite paladins protect the weak, it's just the former are usually best equipped for more aggressive actions and the latter are usually best equipped for more defensive actions.

Reonite paladins have the mark of Reon(the Fleur di Lys) somewhere on their body, it's up to the individual paladin where. They're also likely to carry lillies on their person for sacrifice during prayer. Under both Reon and Mayon, undeath is an abomination(barring circumstances where the undead retains their mind and free will, but it's still not exactly treated fondly) and mindless or wicked undead are to be exterminated whenever they are discovered without mercy. To this end, most necromancy is also considered an abomination and those who conduct it should be given a chance to repent, but will face death if they reject this opportunity.

There's some other fairly obvious stuff, like never attacking the defenseless, that kind of thing. Paladins are also part of the clergy and thus can act in the capacity any similar members of said clergy. This means officiating weddings, that kind of thing.

Exorcism rites, purging evil, all these sorts of things are to be expected from a paladin. As for specific magic, Reonite paladins have access to Divine Solar Fire, be it spells or an enchantment on a weapon. This is especially good at destroying undead and purging evil entities.

Let's see... oh right, paladins also tend to perform prayers for the recently dead(as long you know, they're not the enemy since stopping to pray for them seems a bit counterintuitive). These involve praying to the Lamplighters for safe passage, the Lamplighters being the Reonite/Mayonite psychopomp. They're young girls with tall hats who carry long staffs tipped with a lamp, said to guide the spirits of the dead to the afterlife. There's a holiday tied to them as well which is most comparable to Halloween.

Everyone else, I'll get to you in a little bit, sorry for the wait. ^^;
1x Thank Thank

@VitaVitaAR Thanks for the lore! Your answer was exactly what I was looking for, lol. Uncouth Paladin it is! This fictional religion is right up my alley, really something I can get behind. I will have a Reonite Paladin up shortly with all of this in mind.

@Lucius Cypher: Hmmm, since we have an approved Nem character now I'd really prefer if he wasn't one, since with one party it'd be unusual to have more then one non-human.

@Darner: I don't see any issues here, accepted.

@Zoey Boey: Glad to help! I'm happy to answer any lore questions people might have.

@VitaVitaAR Understandable, though I did make my Nem first. But it shouldn't be too much of an issue, I can change up his race easily enough and since I'll be changing up some aspects of his backstory, I can adjust his equipment and abilities to reflect his new race and previous occupation. I'll make the edits and let you know when I'm done so you can check the CS a second time.

Edit my sheet. You got a human now, though he's still more or less Dayvt of old, just not short.

Nothing wrong with having three martials in the party. Dayvt has the skills to proxy a coin type character too, as stealth, tracking, and debilitating the enemy via alchemical weapons are things he can do just as well as swinging an axe at their face. He can be part of the rear guard.

Niri, Dayvt, and Dolivodro are the only three armored fighter types innit? Leon has a big hammer when all geared up but it looks more like he’s got a robe with a fancy helmet instead of heavy armor.

Lilliane is the fourth martial type. Im just saying because this because just one other Coin was enough to have me make a new character, so.

Honestly, i think parties where the majority of people share similar fighting styles as each other can also be unique and fun depending on how they interact, and most importantly how they use their martial traits.

That said, we could use another coin or cup or wand to diversify a bit.
