Done with the sheet!


Looks pretty good! All I ask is for you to clarify what the two Experiences mean are about, and then you can pop it in the character tab.

And with THAT, we have our full party! Heck yeah!

Oh right! Essentially--

More Than Meets Eye: Having seen his fair share of corruption, Capriccio gains a bonus for trying to piece together the true nature of a situation or a person. Essentially, noticing things that are off or being able to add together 1+1 to figure out a conspiracy or a lie. In D&D terms, something like a combination of Investigation/Insight. Also known as "help my character is smarter than me."

Music for the Soul, Words for the Mind: An expert performer, Capriccio gains a bonus whenever he performs - be it musical performances, trying to capture or befuddle a crowd, or otherwise wielding words to his advantage. Something like Performance/Persuasion/Deception in D&D?

Also, just a note, but Capri's pronouns are he/they. It was a little hidden in the Demiplane sheet though, ha.

Ah yes, those two Experiences are good! You're good to go!

Oh and thank you for correcting me on that! I will fix that in the part list immediately.

That's all of the characters created then. What happens now?

A little world-building. One of you takes the map which is the setting section, marksw one location, uploads it, then the next person will do the same and so on until we've gone round the entire group. It can be a location listed in the top left corner, a location mentioned in any character or overall backstory, or something you just came up with. Since Haruki's going to be busy for the week, we'll have her go last.

Anyone up to going first?

I'll start.

I have added the Fields of Unceasing Song to the map to serve as the Faerie homeland. Perhaps the giant tree serves as their capital city.

I've also added a few roads to the map using the border markers. The border between Haven and Fanewick is now marked by the longest road. And perhaps the road leading towards the castle on the northeast corner of the map is incomplete because pirates have taken over that castle and destroyed much of the road leading to it to hinder effort to retake the castle by land.

Cool, though I think we should probably use different markers for the roads and the borders. (mostly to avoid confusion, when first looking at the map I thought you had divided Fanewick into parts)

Fair enough. How's this? Now the border is marked by the dotted line and the roads are marked by solid lines.

To make sure I understand correctly--the border on the map is Haven's pre-war claim, and they've since occupied much of the Fanewick to one degree or another?

I've added Erewel, the former original settlement of the Sylrowen's clan, which used to function as their equivalent of a 'capital'. It also used to be the biggest sanctuary of the clan, and thus after centuries of druidic magic, the magic linger still in the land, making the land exceptionally well suited to rear animals and plant growth, with the bounded nature spirits and sprites still working to take care of the animals and plants residing there, making it an ideal place for a farming village after Haven took over.

Silversage is the region's crossroad city. It stands at the northern end of the river valley that provides the easiest path into Fanewick; to the west stretches the road that leads to the coast; to the north, the main road into Haven. Not many people head to Silversage, but many go through--and between that and the fertile land surrounding the city walls, the people have done well for themselves.

It's known for its people's hospitality, and for being as diverse and cosmopolitan as the capital itself, but what many don't know is that because of its proximity to the border, there is also a larger-than-average guard garrison.

The city gets its name from the fragrant herb that grows on the riverbanks. When the river was split--a massive feat of engineering long out of living memory--the residents of the city were happy to find that twice as many riverbanks ended up producing twice as much silversage.

Just a note before anyone places anything else on the map: do not place God's Nest anywhere.

I've decided that's where Nikta lives, and its location is a secret.

Sure, all that sounds great to me! Heh, even I don't know how he'll react to the crush yet if he finds out, but it'll definitely be interesting to see! :D As for the connection, oh man, I know exactly what he'd think of Archmagus Lapin, and exposing frauds and liars like him is precisely what he wants to use his own stories and influence for! Capriccio might be more focused on the situation going on between Haven and Fanewick at the moment, but hearing what Lapin did to Pepper, the Archmagus's days of renown are numbered for sure.

I imagine he would've cheered her up with stories when they met, maybe one of a young mage woman who eventually makes her dreams come true and saves her family, mirroring Pepper's own situation to give her hope? Now all he has to do is make sure it happens for real. No biggie.


XD Love it! Pepper definitely would have cheered up from that story. She would be elated (probably to the point of crying) if she learned that Capriccio wants to/or is intent on making sure it happens for real.

Will finish the backstory tomorrow, but really, it's just a more written up version of the tl;dr that's there now, ha.

For the connection questions, I got these; anyone feel like any might fit their characters in particular, before I start bombarding people? :P

- What made you realize we were going to be such good friends?
- What do I do that annoys you? <- this is probably an easy pick for many
- Why do you grab my hand at night?


I know which one would fit Pepper in particular:

-Why do you grab my hand at night?
"Oh! Was I?! Sorry!

...It's just...I feel reassured, confident, and capable of anything with Capriccio around. He's such a kind person. I know I do not have such charisma, so...maybe my hand in his could give him the same feeling?

Er! Provided he's okay with it, of course!

I have returned to the computer and I was able to pick a place on the map.

The Crystal Bridge

This is the Capitol of Haven and the home of both Pepper's childhood home, University Nixerra for the purveyors of Arcana and Wizardry, and Archmagus Lapin's home and labs. Naturally, one might think that the Capitol would be named for the towering skull and spine of the dragon-like creature the city is centered around.

However, that is not the case: Instead it is named for the storied Crystal Bridge set in a specific spot in the city where the skull looks directly down on the person standing at the center of the bridge. There is a story behind both the bridge and the skull and spine, and it is of the Capitol's Founding.

The Capitol was founded by a powerful mage. This mage faced the giant draconic creature. The Crystal Bridge was created through a litany of defensive and healing magic, while the mage's offensive magics swept over the creature itself. The mage's paralysis magic has lingered the longest, causing the the skeleton of the creature to remain looming over the city as a testament to the mage's prowess and the capitol's origin.

Of course, the paralysis magic had to wear off at some point. To this day, various mages are keeping that paralysis magic going, recasting it as often as needed, in order to maintain the landmark.

I think you may have accidentally used an earlier version of the map that doesn't include del's contribution.

It seems the map has shrunken somewhat somewhere in the editing process. Not to worry, I have managed to restore it to its original size.

So... What aspect of your characters do you all look forward to using the most?

For me, it is going to be the Well-Connected feature...

Dimple is going to have... SO many exes.
