The Grey Crossings!

@Rhymer When are we starting the IC your Majesty?

@Voltus_Ventus

Very soon. Just have a few more things to work out. Character roster is full.

The Grey Crossings!

Riffin Wayard

Name: Riffin Wayard

Race: Half-Elf

Age: 27

Job: Hunter

Class: Assassin

Short History: Riffin was born to a single human mother, with his twin half-brother Arthur. It had turned out that their mother had been quite promiscuous, and had managed to get pregnant to two men at once, one being a human, and the other an elf. She continued to live a dangerous life, so at the age of 14, Riffin and Arthur ran away to be safer, and Riffin practiced archery, and eventually became a hired assassin, whilst Arthur became a mage, and would do work that was avaliable. Recently, they both settled down in Grey Crossings, as they both want to lead normal lives.

Quirks: Teases his brother about how he is a half-elf. Quite quiet around everyone else, but that's only because he prefers the quiet.

Skills: Very good at archery, stealth, and good with a knife.

Possessions: Riffin has his bow that he uses to hunt with, and also has many arrows that go with it. Also for hunting, he has a dagger for when he wants to get close to his target.

Hobbies: Archery, hunting

Arthur Wayard

Name: Arthur Wayard

Race: Human

Age: 27

Job: Village guard

Class: Mage

Short History: Arthur was born to a single human mother, with his twin half-brother Riffin. It had turned out that their mother had been quite promiscuous, and had managed to get pregnant to two men at once, one being a human, and the other an elf. She continued to live a dangerous life, so at the age of 14, Riffin and Arthur ran away to be safer, and Riffin practiced archery, and eventually became a hired assassin, whilst Arthur became a mage, and would do work that was avaliable. Recently, they both settled down in Grey Crossings, as they both want to lead normal lives.

Quirks: Arthur always wanted to be better at something than his brother Riffin, which is why he practises magic. He constantly reminds his brother of the fact that he is better.

Skills: Better than average at hand to hand combat, but not amazing. Good at magic, which he uses to protect the town from threats such as thieves.

Possessions: Arthur has a staff that he uses for magic, and also has a book on magic. He uses these to perform magic, and also to get better at it.

Hobbies: Magic, reading

@gogojakeo

@gogojakeo Everything looks good Gogo except for the mother getting pregnant by two men at once-to keep with the lighthearted tone of the setting why not make Riffin and Arthur either step brothers or the sons of a half-elf? (Arthur being the human side and Riffin being the elvish side-sounds like a prophecy being fufilled to me;but that's just the D&D speaking-I digress) Either way the town needs guards so your accepted! Post in the CS.

The Grey Crossings!

Had most of my history wrote up...then I deleted it -_-, ah well should have that up in a moment, need to look up the bloodlines for sorcerers.

@The Fox Without

Accepted! Nice to see an Inn/Tavern in town. Maybe Sheolred Marcosias could be a regular act at the Dizzy Imp?

The Grey Crossings!

I suppose we can do that. Yeah, mine's getting dry and Malakaus wants to hike up the price of iron. His nose is picking up new veins but he needs the money to start a new dig site, and really the only source of income is coming from each other. This can even be one of the first issues the village has to deal with: The local mine is getting dry and now they need to figure out how to get the money to fund a new dig. Malakaus of course wants everyone to chip in a bit even if he has to pay the most out of it, but at the moment he's also charging higher for ore to cover the cost of lots of things.

@Lucius Cypher

Interesting...Will put it in notes and missives.

All legitimate concerns, which is why we would need to deal with this at some point. I don't know what the GM wants us to deal with first as plot, but this can certainly be a source of stress and conflict for our characters in the IC. Though I'm also interested to see how we, as a group of retired adventurers, will deal with this issue. I know that if we had a powerful wizard or a cleric of the Earth Domain making holes in the ground wouldn't be too tough.

You have a sorcerer now (if he finishes his app)

<Snipped quote by Lucius Cypher>

Well, we have an alchemical gnome in our RP, maybe she could brew up an explosive, though I'm not sure if she is skilled enough to do so. Otherwise it would have to be done conventionally, meaning I would have to work my ass off to make a bunch of tools for the good of your business and not my coffers.

@Voltus_Ventus

Or that^

<Snipped quote by Voltus_Ventus>

Though with Malakaus being tight with his money, he'd likely not want to hire outsiders to save costs and just stick with the workforce he already has to pay for. This would mean that it'll take longer for the mines to be ready, and that Ves won't profit from making new pickaxes, only repairing the ones from the new dig. Which I think would still be profitable, just not as profitable as Malakaus ordering a new shipment of pickaxes for the new workers.

@Lucius Cypher

I will tell you (as briefly mentioned in the OP) that shipping through the Crossings has dried up-mercaneries are scarce (tempted off to foreign lands for war) for protection, the roads are deteriorating and all in all the region is economically depressed. Armor and weapons might pull a profit in neighboring lands if you could get them there...

@The Fox Without

Looking good so far. Put your images in 'hider's though! (sorry pet peeve) Don't go away guys still here-

The Grey Crossings!

Can I just ask about characters, though; can they be of a non-humanoid race? (By which I mean, non-bipedal)

@HHShetland

Nah. Sorry.

@Primal Conundrum Accepted!

Diving into The Abyss - A Shattered World

After having bit off a little more than I can chew, I think that I shall be retreating from this thread for now. My apologies for any inconveniences~

@Tatsua Aiisen

I'm afraid I will be dropping out as well. Not a reflection on you Skyrte, more on my side. Bartlewhatshisface is a better scholar anyhow :)

The Grey Crossings!

Should we put our apps in the Characters section?

@Mr_pink

If your accepted go ahead and post your characters to the character tab. Meanwhile-start building your OOC character relationships. You all live in the same town so you probably know each other. I'm sure Malakaus and Vis Starkweather have a shared history-one being a miner and the other a blacksmith? What else can we work up for backstory?
