Im gonna be taking a trip with the fam tomorrow and I'm not driving(poggers), so I'll be able to get my post up before noon I reckon!
Goodnight folks.

I personally plan on linking rolls(if desired) and including mechanical information(such as prepared spells, conditions, current Artificer Infusions, etc.) at the bottom of each of my posts in a hider, for my own sake if not for the sake of overall organization.
Just thought I'd mention such to the end of preparedness<3

I have half a mind to detail Arkisz's sheet more in terms of his personality and overall description, but I also feel it's initially easier to do so IC.
..We shall see.

Keeping in mind that the squad would have probably known each other for varying amounts of time, the longest probably being three years or so as mentioned in the initial post, I think it could be a sensical decision on my part for Arkisz to have perhaps joined the group only a few months ago.
In regards to his feelings towards the rest of the party..

• Aura - Although he has no qualms with lying(outside of scientific disinformation), Arkisz finds it somewhat hard to fully trust an individual who's modus operandi is just.. well, dishonesty. He holds enough confidence in Aura that he does not believe she would move to hurt fellow party members - as she has shown she does have morals - but he feels it is only illogical to lay full trust in one who is so adept at deceiving others. He has also, however, probably picked up the bulk of what sparse, janky sarcasm he uses from her -- he's still learning.

• Flicker - Flicker is, in Arkisz's eyes, a kind individual at heart - even if they have a bit of a temper. Due to the nature of his profession, the Vedalken has spent a good deal of time around more gruff craftsmen and Dwarves especially - so a temper does not bother him as much as one would think. Being that he feels no need to reserve information from others when asked, it was revealed in short time that the two of them have similar circumstances of birth - something that could perhaps aid in the formation of some sort of bond between the two.

• Jørmund - Arkisz, while reserved in nature, has found most of his acquaintances in the form of those who share his love for craftsmanship. Few of them have been Men of the Cloth, but he is not unfamiliar with such individuals, and respects their devotion no less than he does his own. He has probably held, or tried to hold, more than a few conversations with Jørmund about various crafts, especially had they happened upon a particularly fastidious structure or object. Arkisz appreciates Jørmund's sincere nature.

• Plasm - Plasm is definitely of great interest to Arkisz. Having never seen a creature of their kind, and not quite being able to identify their origin through eye-balling it, Arkisz finds himself regularly drawn to discovering more about Plasm's nature over time. It is semi-often than one could find him gazing blankly in the Plasmoid's direction as his mind wanders. He sees some surface-level resemblance to himself in terms of their relative distance to outward emotions, but realizes that Plasm is much more than just a being that assimilates what it experiences, and respects that - unlike some.

• Rook/Rala - Rook is one of the rougher sorts of people that Arkisz does not involve himself with much. He has made acquaintances with a few city guards in his years - mostly thanks to his ability to craft quality weapons for them - so he is ultimately not stranger to a few more rakish personalities. He holds a similar internal monologue between Rook and Aura - though Rook is clearly a bit more.. rigid.

Alrighty, gottem all.

I too have mostly observed group-based decision-making in my campaigns, with no real leader - more like each person who specializes in the specific task at hand would take the lead if need be.

In terms of group relations yeh it's a whole topic of conversation on it's own.

And group names are.. potentially interesting, lol.
Edit: Also yes, The Outsiders is very nerdy xD

Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Indeed. Get with the times, old man.

Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Oh u know

Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Fr fr lmao.

Tbh, what is a Vedalken if not a water Genasi? They can breathe underwater! Same thing, right?

Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Wait, we have three Genasi?
Lmfao, what a party.

Ye I dunno if party composition will be a huge prob, we have a supportish fighter and two melee casters, so our support/utility roster is super good atm and the frontline isn't too bad. So probably just play whatever your gut tells ya's the most fun! c:

I am thinking about classing into Wizard as well for more fun magicy thingies, but that's a few levels away and doesn't take away too much from the battlesmith style.
