Heros, Villains, or Treasure Hunters? (D&D 3.5)

[ulthakptah]

It's hard to say, sometimes people express interest in a game but end up not following through.

[NicciKotor]

I'm not going into this, with it being close to the end of the semester and how shit goes downhill fast.

Also you need to post in two of my games.

[Meliai]

Oh, I like the idea of a group of adventurers who all grew up as friends! You can put me down as an alternate in case a couple people drop :-)

[Kdyami]

Sorry totally posted that in the wrong group :(   Character is done but at work now, will upload tonight late.  I went with a swashbuckler.   How are we doing on Genders so far? I can make mine male or female to help balance us out just let me know.

[Snake]

I'm fully prepared and ready to go with this. just wiating on others :3

No background yet as we still need to work out the fine details of how we all know each other/where we live and whatnot. Managed to get a computer for a few hours today.

[Snake]

well mine's a barbarian so I can put him to fit anywhere. preferably a warm location

we have plenty of room

[ulthakptah]

Indeed, plenty of room. As far as I can tell only two are still interested.

[Videospirit]

Kdyami said something about a swashbuckler character? Wonder if it's a daring outlaw.

[Marie Reynolds]

Hey sorry i dropped off the face of the earth had to handle processing out of the navy. So i am still interested and would like to know if the mixed alignments would be apart of this?

[ulthakptah]

People can be any alignment makes no difference to me.

[Videospirit]

I think that'll depend on the players? I know my druid is NG, and the barb is CN. There's no enforced alignments as far as I know.

[Marie Reynolds]

Alright cool, well if anyone would like to create ties for my character to have childhood friends in the party feel free to pm me.

[Videospirit]

If you just want to talk about characters my nick on the IRC is Videospirit too, and discussion goes much faster in real time.

Edit: Any news on the setting ult, or do you want suggestions for that?

Edit2: IF we all want to be childhood friends, perhaps we could be really really close, by all being orphans who grew up togethor in the same orphanage?

[ulthakptah]

The plan is to make up my own world. It will be pretty standard fantasy medieval world and such. The planes are still organized in the Great Wheel cosmology, and the pantheon is the same as in the handbook.

[Niki315]

If there's still room I'd like to jump in on this too.  D&D 3.5 is one of my favorite systems, and though my posting has been rather erratic lately, it's due to moving and needing to replace my power cord.  I'm planning on sticking it out for the long run now.  Let me know if there's an opening, and if there is, what slots have already been filled.  I love to round out the group when I can ^_^

[Idej]

If there is room and if you accept some material from Dragon Material (which I will gladly post the material I'm using to you for approval) I have ideas for a Ninja.

[Kdyami]

sorry way swamped at work.  I'll try and get a bio up soon but here you go. http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=480825

[Videospirit]

So Right now we're looking at... Druid Barbarian and Swashbuckler for our party? Marie mentioned possibly being a Rogue? Some sort of Arcanist could easily slip in from AndyZ or Niki315.

Still need to make official our backstory as to how we know each other.

[Muse]

*Smiles*  This game has been staring at me for a while.  Do you have room for another? 

Maybe a divine or arcane caster?

Anya Stargazer: (Level 3 Sorceress, Fey Bloodline, Spell Thematic: Stellar Phenomena, Inattentive and Unreactive.) 

   Left at the orphanage in a basket, the name Anya embroidered into her blanket, Anya was a quite dreamer growing up, kind hearted and friendly, but a littel shy.  She is often so caught up in her own fancies as to miss what's right under her nose, or glance up in confusion at things that have others jumping and lifting their guard. 

   She found magic laying on the roof one night, dreaming in the moonlight.  She helped drive away the orcs in their winter raids by throwing small silver shooting stars at them instead of firing her crossbow. 

   When she was fourteen, she left her childhood friends to study magic formally with a wizard in the next town.  She came back three years later, a beautiful and powerful young woman, intelligent and dynamic with more than a few useful trinkets.

[Muse]

A whole lot of work still to do, but:  http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=482297

[Videospirit]

Well I guess enough people are okay with the orphanage idea so I'll officially use that for my backstory, here we go...

Chi: (Level 3 Druid, Shifter Druid, Illiterate, Passionate, Shaky, and Weak Will) 

Chi was found one day streaking through the streets of the city naked. She spoke no language, even though she was 3 years old, old enough to have learned if she'd been raised properly, and no one came forward to claim her as their own. This "Wild Child" was placed into the orphanage. Try as they might, they could not get the wilderness out of the child, although there was no proof, it was assumed she'd been abandoned in the wilds and left to fend for herself until she stumbled upon the city and was discovered. If she'd been left like that much longer, they probably would not have been able to civilize her at all. As it was, she threw off her clothing every chance she got, complaining of how it rubbed against her fur, walked like a cat whenever she was upset, and ran off into the woods to play with her "Friends" every chance she got.

The other orphans probably contributed more to her education than the caretakers efforts, for she was fiercely competitive with the other orphans. She was also well aware of how she seemed... different from everyone else, and how other townsfolk often looked at her like she was no better than an animal(Which also annoyed her, as she thought a lot of them were WORSE than animals, having quite a high opinion of her friends in the wild). Still, she did not react well to bullying, growing timid when confronted and not resisting the insults, truly feeling there was something strange about her, despite anyone's efforts to console her.

As she grew even older and her body started to mature, she spent more and more time away from the city, learning the ways of the druid from nymphs she'd befriended. She loved being out in the wilds, because nobody forced her to wear clothes there, and the nymphs didn't bother with them either so she never felt out of place. Unfortunately, she was really starting to blossom into a woman, and she still had no fondness for garments. One day she'd decided to go without clothing and was spotted by the stablemaster, drunk, who flew into a lusty rage at the sight of her and began yelling at her. Reacting timidly as always, none of the other orphans were around to bail her out, and he dragged her into the stables, saying that's where an animal like her belonged, and had his way with her. Chi was not sure what was going on at first, but the pain was intense and she finally found the will to put up some resistance, using her claws on another person for the first time and escaping in the confusion caused by the Stablemasters shock.

She fled to join the Nymphs, terrified of returning home, not even sure how badly she'd hurt the man. She didn't return to the orphanage on her own. Luckily she'd told some of the other orphans, her closest friends, about her other friends in the wild, and they'd gathered togethor to go find her. She told them of what had happened with the Stablemaster, and they'd noted he'd seemed nervous lately, and now they knew why.

Relieved to know she hadn't killed him, she allowed them to talk her into returning, at least to get what few possessions she had. She no longer quite felt safe in the city, and the Stablemaster was murdered in his sleep shortly after she returned, causing her to worry even more. She moved out of the orphanage(She was almost too old to remain anyway) to live out in the wilds, gathering what food and shelter she needed off the land, and forsaking the ways of wealth and the city entirely. The only reason she visited it at all anymore was to see the other orphans, and donate any wealth she did come across to the orphanage.

*Waves* 

Anya's ready.  I think I'll put her having more contact with her friends during the three years she studdied under a wizard.  Maybe she was in town instead of out?
