[OOC] Rise Of The Runelords: Anniversary Edition!

[Blue Tempest]

Hello all! And welcome to what will hopefully be an awesomely exciting adventure for everyone who joins! The people who showed original interest in the interest check get priority over who gets chosen, but if there is room available, then it will be considered for your possible entry.

I wish to make clear however that if you are joining, you are COMMITTED to this game. Don't flake out after the first few posts and leave us hanging. Especially if you're the healer >.<

I've decided after some debate that the adventure I'll be running is the original first Published Mod made for Pathfinder, only it's the updated version made for the Anniversary with all the necessary 3.5 to Pathfinder conversions made. I am looking for a party of no less then 4 and no more then 6. Following this post, I would like your basic Character info, followed by a link to a Sheet on Mythweavers or a image of a edited Character sheet on paint. (Though the former is much more preferred).

This is the format I expect from you first of all:

Character Sheet:
Name:
Gender:
Race: (Any official Race is allowed)
Class: (Any official Class is allowed, Archetypes will have to be run by me)
Alignment: (Any alignment except for Neutral Evil and Chaotic Evil is allowed)

Appearance: (Picture or Description is allowed)
Personality: (Doesn't have to be long, a paragraph or two at the most)
Biography: (At least two paragraphs, give some substance as to where your character comes from and why they act as they do)

As for character generation, here are the points you need to know:

Start at Level 1

20 Point Buy

Average Starting Gold

Two Traits or Three Traits and One Drawback, but at least One Trait has to be from the Rise Of The Runelords Player's Guide

Max HP at first level, Roll for HP every level after

If you are new to the Pathfinder system, Don't hesitate to join! I will gladly help out any newbies who wishes to try out this new system and create their own character for the first time. Finally, here are some links you will all need reference to for help:

For rolling Dice, we'll be using the Orokos Dice Roller.

For easy reference for all Pathfinder information, you can find it here on the Pathfinder System Reference.

For a MythWeavers Sheet, simply go to Mythweavers, make a free account, click the "Sheets" link at the top and then click "New Sheet" under "Pathfinder".

Finally, you should also look over the Rise Of The Runelords Player's Guide. Everything you need to know about the setting as well as picking your Campaign trait is in this. (Don't worry, its only 17 pages long and 5 of them are just credits and ads XD)

If you have any further questions on things I may have forgotten or need clarification, don't hesitate to ask. Hope to see your characters soon!

You can disregard this post now

Decided on my barbarian. I mean, if absolutely necessary, I can do this with the sorceress instead.
Also, considering changing her into a goblin. I love goblins. And a goblin would definitely cause some controversy. But if I did that, she'd have to be good with disguises, too...

Character Sheet: Aesa
Name: ^ What it says up there.
Gender: Female
Race: Dwarf
Class: Barbarian (Urban Barbarian archetype)
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Personality: Despite her usually blunt attitude and intimidating appearance, she is actually nice to people she wants to know better, even though she has near-constant anger at the corruption she sees in the world. She is not against personal enjoyment, but prefers if it's not at the expense of others (who don't deserve it).

Biography: Aesa grew up in town and has made quite a name for herself, particularly in areas not approved of by her very traditional parents. She only lived with them until she could support herself; she found work from many of the unsavory citizens, doing pretty much anything she could, before she was even out of adolescence. Because of her "direct" nature at times, this typically meant she was used as an enforcer when others made deals. She has become quite accomplished at the job, even getting the attention of nobility. She never offered any exclusivity until recently.

"So there I was, waiting in the inn, sword in hand. I needed another job. But what do I get? Nothing. Not until a...gentleman of high stature entered. I'd heard of him. He'd recently taken some losses. Deserving of my aid. And it turns out he needed my help on a consistent basis. Frequent pay is better than none, and jobs had been slim. Who was I to complain? I was pretty sure he was as desperate as I was too, if what I'd heard was the truth. And I knew it was. I know the happenings of the town. And no one needs an enforcer if they have no trouble; men like him don't come to me for...questionable services. And I don't provide to those that do...for money. But I'd have to be desperate. What were we talking about again?"

Is this acceptable? Or would you like more depth? I have trouble with backstory. I like to reveal it when it's natural to do so. >//< Also bad at describing personalities.

Character Sheet:
Name: Silver
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Class: Oracle
Alignment: True Neutral

Appearance:
Personality: Silver is kind and caring about others around her, but is always unsure about how to act. Although she is never afraid of talk to people or standing up for what she beleives in, she is often confused about weather the path she is taking is right or worth it. She fell in love with the thrill of adventuring and moving around from place to place and left her old life quickly. She often questions everything she does and might have to convince herself that everything is alright more then a few times. She likes to play innocent to her advantage in all situations to try and win fights. She beleives that she doesn't need to fight unless she has to. Even if she is used to getting what she wants without much begging, she still fights for it trying to trick people into it or convince them that shes right. Silver is used to always having people trying to help her, but still trys to do things by herself when she can. Her being blind has always been something she has had a hard time accepting it. She feels she has to hide herself from the world so that she doesn't get stuck in her old life again. She runs away from things when she can't handle them any more and has a very odd way of looking at the world. She has a strong compassion towards the moon and the stars, since she could only see when she is in the darkness. Her apperance always draws people towards her, weather its her bueaty, her almost white eyes or her delicate apperance. She is overly curious and will approch anything if they have what she wants. She is very strong willed and focused on her tasks, even if she is constantly fighting with herself.

Biography: Silver was born to a small kingdom were she was taught everything that she needed to know about how to convince people that she was always right, even if she is wrong. She became skilled with it and used it to get where ever she needed to be. Everyday she would convince them that she could handle herself outside of the kingdom and went exploring. She was always curiously drawn to the outdoors and would do her best to leave every night to the woods to see everything more clearly than ever before. Her sight was always poor and her clouded vision made others worry about her health.
She's the queens bastard with a gypsy that came through there kingdom. After the child started predicting the future the king figured out that the child wasn't his. Silver over heard the plans to kill her and then left in the middle of the night. She still never liked to take off the crown that sat on her head because it made her remember who exactly she used to be, but she tried to hide herself away from others and would never give away much about herself. Silver went as far as she could go trying to find somewhere that she could escape to. She spent days camping out or staying at inns and then at night be moving again. When she slept she would write sometimes write out the future and then wait till it came true, the predictions normally made her more confused then excited. She thought she was abnormal and that maybe some god thought this would be some joke to give her these ideas even as a child. The more she moved around the more interesting people she met. She took jobs helping others try to slove their problems as best she could, looking for more adventures to make her mark as something worth her title and prove that she could help herself. She spent time at taverns and talked with who ever she could. She never told people much of what she was, but it was not hard to figure out since as soon as she removed her hood her crown was still placed on her head. If she felt something was more important she would stay for a few weeks, but she felt more comfortable when she moved locations. She started to try and figure out who could help her find a place to stay and not be found, but she never put much trust in others.

[Blue Tempest]

Still looking for more players people! There's room for up to 3 more still!

[Violettesaphire]

http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=794961
Alright Im kind of somewhat new to this so Im not sure how much I left out or got wrong

[Ermine]

You have 4 more points~
Used a point buy calculator, put your +2 in intelligence, got 16 points to be equal to the stats of your character. (Humans are just a +2 of their choice, right?)

You also have no possessions or money. Right now, your character is quite naked. ^~^

Aaand you need 2 feats (one, plus one for being human).

I don't see any bad choices, either, but I'd be a terrible judge of that, as I have yet to actually PLAY this game (every group breaks up before I have the chance. -_-).

EDIT: Also, 7 HP (8 from level 1 oracle, -1 for constitution)

[Blue Tempest]

Dont forget your Favored Class Bonus! Unless you decided to put it in a skill rank instead of an extra HP

[Violettesaphire]

Alrightie ill work on fixing that up, I got a bit confused by a few things. But now I'm sure I've got it figured out.

[Violettesaphire]

Alright I had some change in story line because a princess oracle doesn't make that much sense. She's the queens bastard with a gypsy that came through there kingdom. After the child started predicting the future the king figured out that the child wasn't his. Silver over heard the plans to kill her and then left in the middle of the night.

I think this makes a bit more sense then my other story.

[Blue Tempest]

You can edit your own post to change the backstory as you wish. Also it helps if you add the link to your character sheet to your profile, that way its all in one place.

[Violettesaphire]

Yeah I guess that makes more sense Ill fix it.

[Ermine]

On the topic, I cleaned up Aesa's bio and personality sections a bit.

Edit: Actually, working on a kitsune trickster now instead. Disregard the other character if I finish this one first (right now, I'm just working on the background).
Edit: Finished. But I'm thinking of more to add to the background. Obviously, if you don't approve of this one, I'll use my other one. ^~^ This one has more of a possible connection between her and Silver, since the Varisians are gypsies. It would be almost like family, in this case, unless Silver has a particular dislike of her gypsy heritage. Also, can Shape Change be used...partially? Like...looks entirely human but with tails? (Seems fair, since it's a supernatural ability, not a spell coded for specific effects)

Character Sheet:
Name: Yobi
Gender: Female
Race: Kitsune (but is usually in human form)
Class: Rogue (Kitsune Trickster archetype)
Alignment: Chaotic Good

Appearance

Human Form:

With the addition of a short skirt and leggings, but without so much metal

Kitsune Form:

Personality: Yobi is playful and likes to play pranks, like any other kitsune. And while she's more playful and energetic with people she likes, if they get angry or annoyed, she becomes quite gloomy.

Biography: Yobi was found when she was fairly young by Varisians. She was accepted into one of the families, and only recently stopped traveling with them. She tries to maintain contact with both her parents and her two older sisters. She has never had a lover, due to her family's traveling and their own ties with others. All in her family know what she is, even though she is always in human form. She has received numerous tattoos from her accepted heritage, though these don't show in kitsune form; this is her primary reason for staying in human form, though the desire to not be so different is up there in that list, too.

Her abilities are simply a matter of her experience in a performing family. Her father is an acrobat, her mother is a fortune-teller, and her sisters are both dancers learning acrobatics from their father. As the adopted child, Yobi was to be given a choice as to which path she would take, and after practice with both, she decided, with her parents' blessing, to find her own path. She would stay in Sandpoint and get by however she could. This was almost always legal activities, though her skill in dance has more than once paid for necessities. She has, in fact, been taken in, more or less, by a noble in town, and allowed room and board at the inn, as well as free food and drink (within reason). She never expected this treatment, and does her best not to take advantage of it if she can help it.

[Kostvel]

Okay, I'll post it up tonight. Sorry for the delay, been a little busy.

[Violettesaphire]

That would be really interesting to see if she and silver could have some ties and could give some more reason to why she stopped in sandpoint. Silvers kind of in the middle with her gypsy heritage. She's would have some ties between the Gypsys and it would be interesting if she was one of them.

[Blue Tempest]

Only two characters made people! We're hoping for 2-4 more!

[Ermine]

Safe to assume I can do a partial transformation, then? (It's just the tails, if she does it at all).
Also, due to her culture, can Yobi start with tattoos for free? I mean, obviously, I can pay if you want.

[Kostvel]

Character Sheet: Dhalgren
Name: Dhalgren
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Fighter
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Appearance:

My Spoiler

Personality: Dhalgren is most known for being stolid and methodical. He is generally of a fairly shy nature when meeting others, but can be counted on to be a good friend once known. He is inclined to keep his emotions to himself, although he's usually found in a good mood. In most cases he will not approach others for general conversation and this tends to make him look somewhat cold. He generally prefers to follow another's lead, but will step up and take command on the situation if he deems he has enough experience in the matter.

Biography: Dhalgren grew up in a small village, son to a simple tradesman spear maker. Growing up exposed to various soldiers and knights that often stopped in his fathers shop, he often dreamed of taking up sword and fighting for treasure and glory, rather than taking up his fathers trade. As a child he would be found often wearing castaway pieces of armor that his father had around the shop, often earned in trade from various travelers and soldiery. As he grew in age, so did his wanderlust. He often chafed under his fathers instruction, and barely applied himself during his lessons.

This would have probably continued, but outside influences took a turn in his life. The increasing occurrence of bandit attacks on the village along with the drying up of local wells, caused the village to be untenantable. His parents forced to pack up and move along with others they could no longer provide for Dhalgren without the business of his fathers trade. Dhalgren now being a young man at this point, with his fathers blessing and few things his parents could provide set out to find seek his fortune. This quest eventually led him to Sandpoint, where he had learned through various taverns on the way that Sandpoint was the place for an aspiring adventurer to make his fortune.

[Kostvel]

If there's anything I need to add, or change, feel free to let me know. First one I've really made without a lot of help.

[Ermine]

You can actually make that 7 a 10. You get +2 to an attribute of your choice as a human. If you put it in Strength to get 18 (so Strength is 16 without it), and you raise your constitution to where it is, you've actually only spent 13 points. You could even do
STR: 18 DEX: 13 CON: 15 INT: 10 WIS: 10 CHA: 10.
That adds up to 20, and gives you a dexterity bonus, too. ^~^ That +2 really helps~
