Estermere- A Medieval Fantasy Roleplay (Reboot)

was wondering, marcus - yuan-ti are usually of an evil alignment. What makes Ramius any different?

He could well be evil - though if we go by alignments he would be Lawful Evil at most. He's seen so much more evil beings during his travels and lived through so many close calls that even if he was 'evil' he would at least hide it well behind a facade of polite words and a nice smile. He could still rob you blind when you aren't looking - if he had interest in such things - but he wouldn't for instance spit acid in your eyes just to get a cheap laugh. I added an alignment for him.

Umh, so... I was wondering... Is my character accepted? Should I make some adjustments?

Ramius could have - probably - used his planar walking to get back to where-ever he had been planning on going, he could have just said no and would most likely been sent back home without any hard feelings - still his curiosity got the better of him. These people around him seemed very interesting and though he personally disliked these kinds of situations there was a chance to make a beautiful song about all this. He listened to the others introducing themselves before opening the gray cloak of his in an overtly dramatic fashion. Ramius admitted to himself that he was in barely presentable condition - his white fencing shirt had seen better days and was in need of some sewing here and there, the gray pants had a hole on the left knee and even the sword hanging from his belt seemed a tad bit aged. The brass buckled belt and black leather boots were the only things on him that seemed brand new - or like he at least kept good care of them. Still the bard smirked and bowed in a dignified - if a bit mocking manner. "It is nice to meet you all, gentlemen and ladies. I am Ramius Kastagir, a wandering minstrel, bard and holder of several very pompous - if descriptive - titles, some less flattering than others."

Either the last planar shift had been really badly miscalculated or then something had affected it in a way Ramius could not have foreseen. After all he had grown quite skilled in planar walking over the years and his accuracy when travelling between worlds had became quite great. Still there he was in the middle of... somewhere - a place very much foreign even for him. He gathered his wits amiably well and straightened up - it didn't quite make him seem any more intimidating due to his lack of height, but at the least he managed to look relatively dignified. "A weird place surrounded by weird people... Reminds that time at that bar in Luskan..." When he heard the voice welcoming him and the others as 'heroes' the bard simply rolled his eyes. "I really hope we aren't some damn pawns in some damn godly game of chess - not that it would be the first time, but still..."

I most humbly posted a cs, if there is something you'd wish me to change about it I'll change it.

Estermere- A Medieval Fantasy Roleplay (Reboot)

Name: Ramius Kastagir Race: Yan-ti pureblood Age: appears to be in his late 30's in truth closer to 70 Gender: male Appearance: Ramius stands just under 6 feet, his shoulders are quite broad, but his arms and legs obviously have not been used to physical work. Upon the first look the man looks quite ordinary if a bit effeminate. Upon closer inspection there is just something off about him. For instance his skin is nearly gray in color and his eyes are slitted - even their striking blue color isn't enough to hide that fact. His left cheek looks like it has a burn mark on it - which in fact is a patch of scales extending from under the eye all the way down to his neck. His thin dark hair - which extends to his shoulders even when tied - is kept away from the eyes with a strap of red cloth that hides his ears. Judging by the horrible scars that crisscross his back the man has felt the lash a few times. The area around his right shoulder blade is also covered by scales - as is most of his right arm apart from the fingers and palm. Clothing/Armor: Ramius wears very simple clothes - usually wide cloth pants and a loose tunic that extends below his knees. The clothes are made of cheap cloth and have been colored brownish-green. The only part of his clothing that is a bit more expensive is the wide belt of his - made from some scaly leather and has a wide brass colored buckle. Over his other clothes the man wears a gray cloak - it too made from some cheap cloth, the cloak has obviously seen better days judging by the tattered hem. Alignment: Lawful Evil Weapons: A thin bladed dagger with a noticeably curved blade. The handle is adorned with two small emeralds and has a silver wolf's head pommel. Ramius keeps the knife hanging from his belt. Skills/Abilities: Ramius possesses extremely good reflexes - so good in fact that he's able to dodge or even catch arrows if he knows from which direction they are shot at. His ability with the dagger is below average at most. He is a bard by trade so his skills in story telling, singing and flute playing are exceptionally good. Ramius is the self titled 'King of Liars' - his skill in lying is so great that he can make the even most impossible story sound completely plausible and believable. As far as talking to other people goes those who do not let his rather odd looks distract them they'll find that Ramius is actually a very verbose fellow. Magic: Due to his Yan-ti heritage Ramius is able to see well in dark places, he is also able to spit acid at his foes - though that ability is highly limited. He can break curses and other magical effects by playing his flute (countersong). Ramius possesses a limited planar walking ability - which he got by angering one of Faerún's many fickle gods. He has no true control over the ability, but he does know exactly when a shift is going to occur. Inventory: A rather battered rucksack containing food and water for roughly a week, spare clothes, a beautifully crafted silver flute, two money pouches, one with 50 gold coins with odd markings that are not recognized by anoyone - they are still solid gold so people don't often compalain. The second pouch at the moment contains 11 copper coins and two silver ones. Backstory: Ramius - as he has chosen to call himself during his travels - was born in the Underdark to a society of Yan-ti. He became a spy and courtier at a relatively young age. His travels and odd jobs took him all the way from Amn to Luskan and Neverwinter. Somehow he ended up as a part of an adventuring group of very distinct individuals who set out to find an ancient artifact. During the adventure Ramius somehow managed to anger a god who cursed him to another plane of existence. His first excursion to planar walking brought him to Castle Grayhawk where Ramius had to contend with all sorts of horrors, lies and intrigue. After what had felt like an eternity something pulled him away to a different plane again. The Yan-ti found himself in Barovia and again joined an adventuring party of sorts - these ones were actually on employ of one Strahd von Zarovich, whom had his own goals in mind. Ramius was forced to spend several years in Barovia - taking in even more horrors and bad memories - before another planar shift again happened. The thus far last planar shift occurred nearly four years ago and Ramius found himself in Estermere. He found himself in a much pleasing environment - atleast in comparison to his last two planar excursions. Though people still are wary of the odd bard at the very least he has an audience to tell his weird stories to. He has integrated himself well to the society - or at least the part that visits taverns. In reality Ramius doesn't care if he'll ever see Faerún again - he has found a new home where his worst enemies are his dreams.

Way of the samurai

A question, could my character be a monk?
