Muse

Potentially, did you have a concept?


  I was wondering about your pantheon.  I was thinking about pure hearted and inocent servent of a benevolat goddess.  War Priest would be fun, but cleric, oracle, or paladin are all on my list. 

  One possible spin on that is actualy a drow raised as a babe in a benevolant temple.  One reason she'd be so naive is she was kept extremely sheltered in hopes that it would stop her 'bad blood' from kicking in.  :)

The Pantheon would be normal Pathfinder I suppose, with some additions as needed.

I am not the biggest fan of Drow, but if you want to write up a bit more for the concept I will consider it.

*Smiles*  I'd rather cater somewhat to your fantasies, that was just an idea.  Let's see...

   Some miles south of free port along the coast is a smaller city—Diona—which is ruled by seven merchant princes.  Prince Shadavere has a reputation for acquiring beautiful wives and concubines and hiding away his even more beautiful daughters in a secret seraglio. 

   While the rumors make the situation far more sinister than it actually is, Verona—Prince Shadavere's 17th daughter—nonetheless grew up secure and sheltered in her father's estates.  At first she was happy, with many chances to romp around the estate with her sisters, instruction in dancing, comportment, religion, and the martial arts.  A voracious reader, Verona spent many hours devouring books about distant lands and far away places.  She sang to the goddess Desna in the night.  She danced in the starlight.  She delicately gathered swallow tailed butterflies and released them in the moonlight. 

   When Desna began to answer her prayers with blessings of mobility and miracles of healing, Verona decided it was time she was free of her fathers walls to do what pleased her goddess most—traveling the world on the whim of the wind. 

   After a long conversation, her father agreed.  He gave her several gifts, then a letter of introduction to the Adventurer's Guild of Skyspear.

I haven't played Pathfinder before but I'd love to give it a try. How similar to 3.5 is it, and where's the best place to find info on class, race, and the like online?
Back after a very long hiatus!! And I hope to be back for good this time!

Providence Jarvis
Race :  Human
Level : Wasteland Blightbreaker Chirurgeon Promethean Alchemist 2
PV : 12
Traits : Child of Freehaven
Drawback :Hedonistic
Scores : Str 14 (5) Dex 14 (5) Con 7 (0) Int 16 (10) Wis 14 (5) Cha 14 (5)
Background Skills :

Description
She is tall and  frail built, with dark hair. His eyes are light blue, gleam with intelligence and curiosity and his natural expression is wary. Providence is a charming and insightful woman, blessed with a handsome face, good health, and a keen wit.
She prefers to dress in clothes befitting his highborn station, and never appears without a tailored coat, polished boots, and his trusty cane. He has a short frame, and few who look at Providence’s roguish good looks and smoldering eyes. A variety of alchemical concoctions has shifted his feminine traits and allowed Providence to grow into manhood as any young woman would. Though raised on a refined diet, she adores the many foreign foods found throughout Freehaven.

Personality
She is not particularly bloodthirsty and sees no purpose in finishing off felled foes or battling to a lethal end. Dead targets can’t talk. Though agreeable, she is also stubborn, unwavering from her goals. Though saddled with a weak constitution that has haunted him since a childhood bout with sickness, Providence boils over with a courage and initiative both his parents lacked.

Background
Native from Kintargo, Providence is passionate about alchemy, painting and sculpture. When she was a child, he and his diplomat parents were sent to city of Freehaven in Skyspear Island to represent House Thrune’s interests.  Providence’s parents gave their daughter room to develop his own philosophies. They valued knowledge and personal freedom—with just enough distant oversight—over blind indoctrination.The fiery passion of youth drives him to fix the world’s problems, but the lumps he took in adolescence remind her of her limitations just enough to keep her from becoming overbearing. He reads aloud without realizing it, pushes her books onto others, and otherwise barely restrains her excitement over new discoveries—all traits inherited from her father.

When Providence  began his journey from young noble, he wanted nothing more than for everyone else to experience the relative safety of his aristocratic upbringing. He felt that no one should ever worry where the next meal would come from or whether walking home by night would be a life-ending mistake. Reared in Freehaven’s posh noble circles, Providence never questioned his own security until it was suddenly snatched away. Raised for years as a fiery and exuberant young lord thanks to the circumstances of his birth, He discovered his future was far more moldable than he ever realized after meeting a Shelynite tutor who migrated between sexes as other people might migrate between nations. This insight led Providence to a way of growing up he’d always coveted but never imagined possible. But while his parents embraced their newly revealed daughter, the news scandalized their stodgy social circles. With his old friends gone and even his physical safety threatened on occasion, she formed new social circles from eclectic sources: musicians, servants, tutors, and even street urchins. He shuddered to see his new friends enduring on a daily basis the same insecurities to which he had only recently been exposed.
After her adolescence, she finally decided to enlist in the secret society to which his parents belonged: the Sacred Order of Archivists.
Sadly, as Providence was returning home from his studies at the Academy, eager to announce his intentions to join his mother, the sight of a plume of smoke and fire rising from the noble quarter threw her into a panic.
Upon arriving at his family estate, he found the manor engulfed in flames.
At that moment, she made a decision that haunts her still, yet which doubtless saved his life. Rather than race into the fire, he fled into the city to hide and mourn.
The next evening, she came to the still-smoking ruins of his family home and sifted through the rubble, hoping for clues, but found nothing more than evidence that others had scoured the place already for anything of value. Over the days that followed, she settled back into her daily routine.
Taking the capital and experience gained while under her parents, she expanded and diversified the business, becoming an independent noble in Freehaven. Profit and security alone motivate Providence after the recent developments (with the death of these parents) lead her to doubt the future of both.

She was born and upon achieving adulthood a the mechanisms of the living body. The more he studied the complexities of anatomy, the more he came to realize there was too much to learn about the nature of life in a single life span.
Her research into prolonging life revealed something that unsettled her profoundly: after death, his soul would be “rewarded” by being turned into something else—something that wouldn’t carry her mind into the hereafter. Her powerful ego could not abide the thought of losing her individuality, and so she devoted years to gaining an understanding of the soul’s fate after death.

Her home is an ancient and decrepit-looking estate on the fringe of the Market, a building known as Manor.
Manor is quite clean and well decorated within. The ceilings hold numerous chandeliers, while the woodpaneled walls are decorated with many erotic paintings of subjects quite varied and scandalous in nature. Little is left to the imagination in these works of art.
in a large hall, there is a sprawling table capable of seating two dozen guests. The head of the table is reserved for a setting for Providence herself.

d20pfsrd.com is the usual spot to mine for such info. Paizo's own PRD pages are a bit more sanitary, but with a few less options.

It's almost 3.5 mechanically; some even call it 3.75 :D

Thanks! I'll take a look and see if I can come up with a good concept for this game ;D
Back after a very long hiatus!! And I hope to be back for good this time!

Alright, here's my concept!

Belgana Swordstroke
Dwarf Fighter, Chaotic Good

Appearance: Belgana exudes a buoyant enthusiasm for life, combined with a healthy disregard for personal safety. She likes nothing better than a good fight or a good fuck. She's quick to grin, and there's always a glint of fiery dwarfish determination in her eyes.

Belgana's body is stout and curvy, sporting wide, flared hips and a weighty bust. Her lack of stature only enhances the size of her assets, giving her an exaggerated hourglass physique. The dwarf's face bears strong cheekbones, plump cheeks that are often alive with mirth and exuberance, and a strong – though not overly masculine – jawline. Her blue eyes twinkle with a fierce, cavalier excitement, framed by cascades of thick red hair.

She is garbed in an odd assortment of plate armour, though it hardly covers her entire voluptuous body. Rather, she is clad in shoulderplates, a cuirass that reveals much of her plush breasts, and leg-guards that rise up her thighs. Each piece seems to have come from a different source: one pauldron has an orcish appearance, covered with spikes, while her breastplate is clearly dwarven... and possibly not fitted well to confine her chest. Tell Belgana that and she'd probably burst out laughing. Or hit you. Possibly with that sturdy battle-axe that she keeps at her side.

Personality: Belgana is a fearless dwarven warrior. She is brash and impetuous, with a fiery attitude toward danger, often willing to rush into a situation where cooler heads might be cautious. Her dwarven attitude toward life makes her a fast, loyal friend and an implacable foe. In conversation, Belgana veers toward bluntness, crassness, and jocular teasing.

History: Born to one of the dwarven clans in the mountains far from Skyspear Island, Belgana was encouraged to fight from an early age. And fight she did, as her siblings and their bloodied noses could recount. By the time she'd came of age, Belgana had amassed an impressive array of kills, from orcs and goblins to bandits and bugbears. Nonetheless, her family began to worry for the up-and-coming warrior. Dwarves aren't particularly known for their subtlety or caution, but Belgana less so than most. She'd been injured several times already, and yet refused to wear better armour. "I'll kill 'em all an' I'll be showing off me tits while I do it," she'd say. Stubborn and impossible to argue down, her clan eventually diverted Belgana toward Skyspear Island. They talked of a legendary guild of adventurers who fought with the most vicious of monsters... and Belgana went for it, hook, line, and sinker. She was off in a flash, on the first boat to Skyspear to join up.

If it helps, I was sold on your character from the Arrested Development reference!

I'm working on a char for this!

PixelatedPixie

I am going to lock this thread to further interest.  If you have already posted though, please PM me your concepts/responses!


Muse

Did you have more information on her personality and what not?

It is very similar to 3.5  Paizo has the PRD, and there is the d20pfsrd that should have the information you need, just make sure to stick to non-third party stuff.

PM me your concept when you have settled on something!

Half-Drow not included.   ;)

I am not sure she is quite what I am looking for, sorry.

She looks good if you want to move over to the OOC thread.
