Aldarina Has Fallen (D&D Story)

home and I finally got my character up. The backstory is in first person just because I wrote that a long time ago somewhere else when I first started. Anyone wanna be travelling with/know Morthos at the start of the RP? I always like having someone to start a post with when IC gets going

Aldarina Has Fallen (D&D Story)

Morthos Xerxes

Appearance:

Height: 6 Feet to the top of his head, 6 Foot 2 Inches to the top of his horns
Name: Morthos Xerxes
Nickname:
Age: 22
Race: Tiefling
Gender: Male
Class: Wizard
Alignment: Neutral
Skills: Arcana, Dungeoneering, Nature, Religion
Weapons: Quarterstaff
Gear: Spellbook, Food rations
Personality: Morthos can be a bit paranoid at times, being a tiefling can do that to a guy. He relies on himself quite a bit but he does enjoy people, people just tend not to enjoy him. Morthos isn't in to adventuring for the money or the loot, he's in it for the adventure and learning new things. Give him that and he'll be sure to be by your side, of course, a bit of loot doesn't hurt either.
Back Story:
I know what you’re probably thinking, “since you’re a tiefling you must follow Asmodeus, right?” Well I hate to destroy that stereotype for you but not all tieflings follow Asmodeus. I happen to follow Ioun, goddess of knowledge, skill, and prophecy. All my life I’ve felt like I was born into the wrong body, or at least my purpose here is to just rid the world of prejudices against my people. Whenever I meet someone new they’re shocked when I tell them I’m not evil. Don’t get me wrong I’m not some lawful good paladin, are you kidding? Way too much work involved in that, I help out people sometimes. Only if I really think they need it, really think I can help, and it isn’t too far out of my way. I am neutral; some may see that as a sign of indecision or weakness. I see it as an opportunity for experimentation as well as flexibility. I am not morally bound to help those who need it nor do I feel the need to cause destruction wherever I may roam.

My human mother raised me, my father was never around and I say good riddance to him. My mother never even knew his name; to him she was just a one-night stand. Sometimes I feel as if he is watching me but then I just put that down to the fact I’m paranoid and always think someone is watching me, whether it be friend or enemy. In the case of my father I’m not sure which category he would fall under. My mother and I were somewhat close, but most of the time I ended up doing my own thing and she stood behind me, even when it wasn’t the smartest of ideas. I’m not as evil as most people would assume, though I can think some pretty nasty things they mostly remain thoughts. I never really had many friends but I think it was because people were scared of me. Which made sense, I’d be scared of me too if I was somebody else... if that doesn’t make sense to you I'm not explaining it. With my horns, long tail, oddly coloured skin along with hair, most people would look twice when they saw me then never look again.

Because of this I spent most of my childhood in the library of my town. I eventually took up a job there, not only did it give me an excuse to be there all the time but the extra money really helped out my mom take care of me. While being in the library I read a lot of books, this is where my interest in magic began. I read of powerful warlocks, wizards and sorcerers. I wanted to be like them, famous in all their rights. Since I wasn’t born with amazing arcane powers and I did not want to keep up the stereotype of tieflings selling their souls for power becoming a wizard was the natural choice.

Yes, I’m a wizard, though not a very good one as of yet. More specifically I’m a pyromancer. I guess some stereotypes are true, in my defense fire just comes a lot easier than other types of magic. I trained quite a bit and when I thought I was ready I ventured off into the world on my own. Through my studies I learned about nearly every kind of monster there is out there, I believe knowledge is power and I wanted to be ready for my adventures. My mother was nearly in tears but I promised her I’d come back from time to time. Why wouldn’t I? She is my mother after all, just because I’m part devil does not mean I’m not capable of love. I do love my mother, and I will go back to her and visit, I’m just not sure when.

The one thing that comforts me is that I know my mother is not alone. Since she never knew my father she dated a lot of guys while I was growing up. None of them were really terrible or good. There are however two exceptions to this statement. The first is a dwarf named Orsik and he was just awful. He started off all right but he slowly became abusive towards my mother and I, suffice to say, she wasn’t with him long. I was only 8 at the time, and ever since then I’ve always never really liked dwarves. I know they are not all like that but I can’t really help it, so don’t you judge me. The second exception to the first statement is the man my mother was with when I left, a half-elf named Lucan. He was raised by his elven mother in the Feywild and he was always so nice to the both of us. He and my mom have been dating for about a year now, I hope they stay together; he’s my favourite boyfriend out of them all. Well, that’s my story, so far anyways, who knows, maybe one day you’ll be reading about me in the library. Morthos, Tiefling Pyromancer Wizard, The Sage of Ages... ya, that has a nice ring to it.

I'd also like to apologize for not having a character up yet. I'm at my girlfriends so I can't really make one right now. I'll be home in a few hours so I'll make my character at that point. But for sure I'm making a tiefling pyromancer wizard

Aldarina Has Fallen (D&D Story)

@Shadow Daedalus Well I'm gonna be going with my first D&D character I made who is a Tiefling Wizard, if that informs your decision at all. I will say though if this were a real party we're already pretty melee heavy, and have 2 fighters. Though fighters come in a lot of flavours so it's not bad do have a few.

I'll probably have something up tomorrow

Aldarina Has Fallen (D&D Story)

Speaking of races, I play 4e D&D and I really love Tieflings, would they be okay to play? If not I may go for a Dragonborn Paladin, or maybe a Dragonborn Sorcerer

Is this still open to joining? Because I think this sounds fun

"It's alright to be scared, none of us know what's going on, not really," Jason gave her a friendly smile to try and keep her calm. He sometimes wondered if his emotions worked properly, when things were bad he seemed to take them a lot better than most people would. But he didn't really have time to think about that, he thought about it too often anyways. Some of the others were waking up and the vice prez was taking charge, or at least trying to. Steven had also piped up, so Jason figured he should do the same.

"Hey everyone, I'm Jason Erso, or you can call me Jay, whatever, I don't care." Jason was still sitting so he slowly stood up and stretched out, "ohh that feels good. Anyways, from what I can tell, when the bus was in that accident we all died. But one of the gods was feeling merciful or something similar and gave us all a power and a second chance at life in this new world. I'm not sure if we're here for a reason or just cause, but we're all here now, so I think we should at the very least stay together until we know more about this world we're in." Jason was familiar with the concept of reincarnation, he just never thought he'd remember his past life when it happened. You're not supposed to remember your past life, that's why it's a past life. It's behind you and you have to move forward.

Thinking about it, Jason thought he may have made a good student body president, but he had neither the care nor the drive to do that, so he never bothered. He pulled up his status screen again and gave his ability another read, pour out my mana, huh? Jason decided to give it a try while the others figured out what they were doing. "I'm gonna try using my power guys, so give me a sec," he wasn't sure anyone cared at that point. He held up his hand as if he were holding a playing card and imagined one showing up. He wasn't exactly sure how to use his mana, but when he had meditated before he could feel energy in his hands at points, so he figured concentration was key. "Come on, something to help us get to this town," he muttered quietly and focused on making a card appear.

Jason sat up rubbing his eyes, that was a very strange dream he just had. Looking around he was in a forest, why was he in a forest? The last thing he remembered was what he thought was his dream, but maybe it wasn't? They were on the bus for the end of year trip, there was that truck, followed by screaming, then they were in a white room. They drew lots then next thing he knew he was in this forest, a strange voice saying to go south. And what was this about praying to see a status screen? Jason wasn't one for praying, but he did close his eyes and meditated trying to see this status screen, and it worked. It was like a strange VR video game, he had health, mana, and a strange ability which seemed like it would need a lot of improvising, which he was fine with.

Jason wasn't going to dwell too much on this new life. He should have died in that accident, now he had a whole new life. He felt bad for his mom though, first she lost his father and now him. If only he could let her know that was okay somehow, but that would be something to figure out for another time. Looking around he saw some of his classmates there also, one of whom was already awake. "Oh hey, uh, Chloe, right?" Jason didn't really have any friends, but he was pretty familiar with everyone around his age at school. Looking at everyone else who was asleep he recognized their faces.
