Jhimas Thallaseth the Triton Oath of the Ancients Paladin, Duskshine749

Jhimas Thallaseth

Oath of the Ancients Paladin

Brief Backstory

Jhimas grew up living a pretty standard Triton life, defending the surface world from the horrors of the deep and all that. He became an acolyte of a church that followed the ways of The Ancients, a faith based on the belief in the spirits in all things and following the traditions of your ancestors. It was in this church he met his best friend, they followed the faith and fought together. They made a plan to travel to the surface eventually. Unfortunately only one of them would be making that trip. During a battle one day his friend was grabbed by a tentacle and pulled in to the depths and was never seen again.

Jhimas spoke at the funeral, giving a great speech about how they shouldn't let darkness consume them and should celebrate life rather than dwell on death. It was shortly after this that Jhimas left the ocean to travel the surface, being a protector to those who need it, to try and make up for the friend he couldn't keep safe.

Lin, Bard, Changeling, DTHar

LIN, Bard, Changeling

Background:

Found and raised by an elven woman named Ilithria, Lin was raised as an equal. She never shy away from her true nature, as oppose to most of her kind. Then again, She has never met another one quite like herself. In terms of elven prospective of time, She was within Ilithria's family and embrace for a mere blink of an eye. The Changeling woman had grown fast, Faster then any human Ilithira had ever seen.

From a mere toddler, she had shown a knack for mimicking others, thus learning a vast variety of skills.
It was Ilithria's older daughter, a half elven woman named Narwen, that taught Lin to use the blade, and to fight.
Thus, Lin assumed her ever first identity (Identity #1) aside of her own. She found it easier to fight when taking Narwen's shape. Soon, Narwen's character immersed into the technique, turning into a nearly different entity.

When Lin was 14, near adulthood, a party of drows attacked the village.
They slaughtered Narwen, and Ilithria, leaving Lin with a rage that would never know peace.
Despite her anguish, her survival instincts took the better of her, she turned herself into one of the drows.
Soon, She found her second home - Belizinastra - a small drow settlement.

She was taken in by a woman named Soolur'drinith.
She hated every moment living under Sool.
But she had a plan. She would learn the drow ways. She would become one of them. She would adopt the innate drowish yearn to slaughter their brethren. Only, she had more then one reason to enjoy their slaughtering.
There, She adopted her second Identity (Identity #2) - Sool. a Drow rouge, which would take any job offered to her, if it meant to "kill her own".

Within the drow settlement, was a small prison section, filled with elves that were meant to be sacrificed to the spider queen. Among them, was a man that Lin came to love. The two would spend hours playing together all sorts of instruments, Making wonderful music together.
When he was sacrificed, she took his identity, to commemorate him (Identity #3)

She left the drow settlement 3 years later, in search of the specific drow that had killed Narwen. The woman she actually had deep feelings for, but never consummated them.

Her search lead her to this party.

Real Identity - LIN

Identity #1 - Narwen - half elven fighter

Identity #2 - Sool, Drow rouge

Identity #3 - Samiril - Elven bard.

@kingeditor Sounds interesting, can't wait to see him!

D&D 5E: Dungeon of the Mad Mage [Closed]

@kingeditor I cut my teeth in older editions and don't mind much what alignment people play. So long as your character has a strong enough reason / motivation to work co-cooperatively with the party, I think having a mix of alignments makes things more interesting and develops some strong interparty dynamics among the characters. That being said I would not accept, say, a chaotic character stabbing other characters in their sleep or looting all their gear, or allowing a player to use their alignment as an excuse to ruin everyone's fun.

Basically if you think a particular action would be particularly dickish or step on some toes, announce it in the OOC first and see what people think. Rule of cool applies ;) I don't think it'll be an issue.

Rolling is 4d6 for each stat and drop the lowest. If you happen to get something utterly abysmal, let me know though.

D&D 5E: Dungeon of the Mad Mage [Closed]

@kingeditor That would be excellent! You can use whatever sheet generator you are most comfortable with (myth-weavers, dicecloud, dndbeyond, ect). I can also provide a roll20 link or a standard bbcode CS if you like.

Further race/class information generation is all snug in the 1st post. Do you have any questions?

Open to New Players!

0/2 Positions open

Hi there. I'm looking for 2 new potential recruits to join our Dungeon of the Mad Mage roleplay. I would appreciate a healer being added to the party dynamic if possible.

My main criteria:

• Must be able to commit to one post every ten days. Counters will be given on day seven and extensions granted, but consistancy is required.
• Experience with D&D is not required, just an eagerness to play and learn.

D&D 5E: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

@Cao the Exiled@DTHar moved to the inactive section.

Recruiting re-opened.

---

---

EDIT: Re-organising the CS tab so that active characters are near the front. If a character is removed from inactivity and returned to play, just copy the CS link back over onto a new post in the CS tab.

With this in mind:

There is a short grace period whereby if you post between the end of the deadline and when we get that slot filled, then I'll just shunt you back over. I'd prefer it if you didn't rely on that, and just posted in the week, but I understand that I haven't set a post schedule before on this thread and I know alot is going on IRL.

Mae

Further re-organisation will be done once the empty slots are filled.

The Wily Natters Flint

A tiny, potbellied man, Natters Flint is 42 years old. He doesn't seem much cut out for a world of adventuring, and only seems to have put himself forward in the hopes it makes him look good - he's been stuck in the village for a while since his last caravan got raided and he gambled what little he had left away. All that being said, Natters is a skilled merchant, and he's offered to show you the ropes of trading.

In exchange for being your Henchman, he wants 20% of the treasure. Natters clearly wants to get out of town and start selling again, but he's obstinant he's worth this much - once a barterer, always a barterer....

>Recruit the Wily Natters Flint?

If you proove yourself worthy, Natters may have some optional Henchman quests for you later down the line... if he survives.

Mostly, you've seen him hanging around the inn a fair bit, but few people travel through the Village to play cards with him these days.

The Huntsman Irene

Irene is 35 and can best be described as eccentric. Supposedly she was raised in the woods, and she lives on the outskirts of it. She's good with animals, a little obsessed in fact, and has a way with training them.

In exchange for being your Henchman, Irene wants 10% of the treasure travelling with you. She is hopeful you will one day let her unusual animals she can't find safely by herself.

Animal Training(Bears)

Animal Training (Bears):The Huntsman Irene knows how to breed, groom, and train a particular type of animal (Bears). The animal can be taught simple tricks or orders. A character who wants to train two or more different animal types must choose this proficiency more than once. A character with proficiency in training an animal may choose a fantastic creature of a similar type with this proficiency. For example, a bear trainer could learn to train owlbears, or a horse trainer learn to train pegasi. Regardless of the type, animals must begin their training while still young. Initial training, which simply makes the animal safe for handling, takes one month. Each additional task or trick taught thereafter takes an additional 1d4 weeks. An animal can be taught a maximum of 2d4 different tasks or tricks. The animal trainer will only learn the animal’s limit when he reaches it.
