Any culture information you'd need would be on the Info Sheet provided.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Ok, need read it and then throw out concept then :).

[Re Z L]

Well, I'll change my description to match whatever and add in the sheet if I somehow manage to get accepted, but at this point it hardly seems worthwhile.

Why do you say that? We're only asking you to alter one part of the backstory and add in the sheet so it looks neat and tidy on the thread. Besides, I sometimes have issues where my browser doesn't open the Mythweavers properly, and as a GM, that's a bit of an issue for me.

[Mister Ugly]

could we take a drawback and get another Trait?

[Vergil Tanner]

Yhup, you can! It's either two Traits, or three traits and a drawback. If you wanted to, you could take a Drawback instead of a trait too.
Make sure to get your application in by the end of tomorrow though

[Mister Ugly]

I am working him up now... background is the hardest but I like what I have so far

ya all want a peek?

[Vergil Tanner]

If you want...or you could surprise us with the full package. Up to you!

[Mister Ugly]

Always good to have input so let me introduce Titch!

Name: Gar'narphdr'sra clkdr --Orc for 'Clever Head' | Just call him Titch
Sex: Male
Age: 24

Race: Half-Orc
Class: L1- Unchained Rogue, L2 Scarred Witch Doctor
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral- what is Best for Titch is best for everyone!

Level: 3
EXP: 3,300 / 6000

Basic Appearance:
He stands a good 6' 3" with a lean build with decent shoulders. His skin is like old parchment or someone that has spent years in the sun. A few have said he has a rugged face, which just means he wasn't butt ugly. It is hard to tell he weighs 185 pounds all lean and hard muscles which is unlike most finger wigglers. Numerous scars cover his body, whip scars on his back and shoulders and clearly some sort of ritual like scars on his chest. Deep Brown eyes hide his Fierce Intelligence.

Personality:
Titch tends to play the dumb half orc. Grunts and snarls go a long way to making things easy for him. In fact he is introspective and a bit shy around those that he doesn't know. To many insults about his linage has left him defensive and careful. Once you gain his trust or get past the carefully built walls Titch is actually a fairly decent person. He likes to laugh even if it is more bark. He considers his Honor the only thing that is truly his and though he tends to do what he wants should someone gain his word of honor they would find he would face the dragons themselves to full fill it.

Basic Background
How did your character get to where they are today? How did they learn their skills?


Short Term Goal: What does your character want to achieve in the short term?
Long Term Goal: What does your character want to achieve in the long term?
NPC's: Any non-player-characters that are important to your character / could pop up in-game?


Connections:
List any current PC's that your character already knows. If none, leave blank. You may create connections at a later date.

Hex Scar-- When learning hex, carve or brand a symbol into flesh.
Fetish Mask(Su)-- At 1st level, a scarred witch doctor forms a bond with a wooden mask. As he gains power, his connection to this mask causes it to grow ever more hideous and grotesque as it absorbs the weight of the self-induced pain that underlies his magic. His spells derive from the insights his patron grants him while he’s enduring the cuts, burns, and other sorts of mutilations he inflicts upon himself. His fetish mask acts in all ways like a witch's familiar for the purpose of preparing and gaining spells. Rather than communing with a familiar to prepare spells each day, a scarred witch doctor hangs his mask on a wall, tree branch, or something similar and contemplates the agony it represents. When wearing his fetish mask, a scarred witch doctor gains a +2 circumstance bonus on Heal and Intimidate checks and gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against effects that specifically cause pain or have the pain descriptor. If the mask is destroyed, the witch doctor can create another fetish mask (which almost immediately adopts the shocking appearance of the original) for the same price and time it takes a witch to replace a dead familiar.
At 5th level, the scarred witch doctor gains the ability to add magical abilities to her mask as if he had the Craft Wondrous Item feat.
This ability otherwise functions like and replaces the standard witch familiar.
Scarshield(Su) [replace 1st level Hex]-- gain enhancement bonus to NA equal to 1/2 level. Use for minutes per day equal to Level

Hexes

Hexes:

Slumber(Su)	Effect: A witch can cause a creature within 30 feet to fall into a deep, magical sleep, as per the spell sleep. The creature receives a Will save to negate the effect. If the save fails, the creature falls asleep for a number of rounds equal to the witch’s level. This hex can affect a creature of any HD. The creature will not wake due to noise or light, but others can rouse it with a standard action. This hex ends immediately if the creature takes damage. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.
Evil Eye(Su)	Effect: The target takes a –2 penalty on one of the following (witch’s choice): AC, ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, or skill checks. This hex lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the witch’s Intelligence modifier. A Will save reduces this to just 1 round. This is a mind-affecting effect. At 8th level the penalty increases to –4.

Appearance: Nanaly Felsoul is six foot and two tall woman with lean but hard muscles and she has dark blue hair and dark crimson eyes and as human she could called comely and athletic. But she is not human as her inhuman features include sharp corner fangs and pair of blue horns with red tips growing out from her head and her shadow is larger than normal for woman of her size. She wears a polished blue hardened leather armor and light orange pants with black flame pattern in them and wears a shred dark crimson cloth as belt and wears black socks with sandals and dark loincloth. In corner of her eyes have been tattooed tiny blue lightning bolts striking out from her eyes. Besides her attire she wears pair of dark/silvery sheen gauntlets with clawed finger tips.

Personality: Nanaly Felsoul is blood thirsty bullying bruiser who eagerly seeks fights to prove herself and her own combat superiority. Also she is sort who does not give up even when she is beaten down. She is lecherous towards both genders and is equal opportunist groper/abuser for them, hedonistic and also hard drinker and party girl when her coin purse so allows and becomes grumpy if she haven't got sex, fight or decent drink in past day.

History: Nanaly refuses tell her exact history and considering her age it's easy to conceal, unless you head to Crashing Tempest Academy where she trained at and is located on north of Muinodepa. The mentors there would tell they found Nanaly many years ago wandering in road as young teenager, whoring, fighting and cursing her life and others and seeking to die in bloody battle! However one wandering master offered her outlet for her fury and taught turn her spite to passion to battle. If dig deeper, they may find tragic story of a farmer girl who got possessed by evil spirit in very young age, evil spirit which had haunted forests of the village centuries and after girl disturbed ancient seals laid down by mages, spirit could escape and find host after all centuries and upon the physical transformation touched by cursed evil energies from gods and planes girl was banished by her parents and family who turned back upon her.

Why you failed joining the other Adventuring Groups: Nanaly failed to join because of her temperament, one reason or other she picked fight with guild member and as rookie that is grounds for kick out (and more so as she could not appear sober for important work where she was needed and then reputation spread fast).

Character Connections: When we get ready there will be a connection, even if it's a brief paragraph how you all know one another
Character NPCs: A list of NPCs your character knows, if you need help talk to the GM I've got plenty for the Three Sisters Tavern where you'll be starting.
Character Theme Song: Burn it to the ground - Nickelback

Short Term Goals: Become most badass adventurer/mercenary/fighter ever seen in the city/nation.
Long Term Goals: To become legendary warrior so she can spit upon her family/parents for betraying her, overall have fun and blast in life despite expense it cause to others

[Nygenn]

So many cool concepts. It's gonna be a tough pick for the GM's at this rate.

[Vergil Tanner]

Welcome, Mister Ugly and Zaer! Do let me know when the Bios have been completed so I can update the above!


Zaer, would you mind place your information in one of the skeletons provided here, please? Thank you very much!

[Re Z L]

Why do you say that? We're only asking you to alter one part of the backstory and add in the sheet so it looks neat and tidy on the thread. Besides, I sometimes have issues where my browser doesn't open the Mythweavers properly, and as a GM, that's a bit of an issue for me.

Nothing is being communicated very well here.

If you have specific expectations then please make them clear.

Nothing throughout the thread has said anything about being required to use the sheet skeleton, until you brought it up with me (and have continued to pile on additional excuses for why you personally don't like Mythweavers).  If we must use the skeleton sheet, then just come out and say it.

No one has called anything ICly "The Police."  And I find it unlikely that the phrase is the most grievous anachronism presented thusfar...  Using the phrase "Police Force" accurately describes that function of the military (which is also called a "Police Force" as I pointed out already).  Again, it's just a description, no one is calling anything "The Police" in the game.

Regardless:  I am perfectly happy using whatever is desired for the character sheet, but if it's going to be forced to do it one way then at least say so up front; and I'm happy to change the description it's just frustrating to go and actually use the source material and then be told the source material is incorrect--and to reiterate it's a description not a title being bestowed upon them ICly.

As I said, though, my sheet is done except in the off-chance I get accepted, in which case I'll add the skeleton sheet and change the description to whatever you and Jeflint think is best.

Actually...

So by the end of Thursday, if you wish to be considered, you need to have a completed Character Bio posted in this thread. Please use one of the two Character Sheet Skeletons given below, and if your sheet is not in that format...I'm sorry, but to make the eventual Character Thread neater and more uniform, please translate it to one of the two below formats.

[Mister Ugly]

@Vergel and jeflint:

I got some ideas and questions for ya. So hold on and let us hope I don't cause everything to go BOOM!

I have been looking over the city guide. [nicely done jeflint  ] Part of Titch's bio was escaping from Bidebi anything More I need to know about the city and do you mind if I toss some color into the city. Titch could end up with a 'hook' in that he is wanted by the city for leading  small revolt and escape.

I have no problem having links to other pc's or npc's. Heck I was thinking there could be an issue about a hat with some pointy eared card tosser and his gal Friday.

Also I am taking the trait;
Signature Moves: You’re known for some unique item that has become your trademark.

Benefit(s): Your starting equipment includes a single masterwork item worth less than 900 gp, and you gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff and Intimidate checks while wielding this item in one or both hands.

This would be an elf rapier of old design made of Living steel as well as master work

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

I like the idea of a Half orc with an elf blade even a non magic one....I also have no problem if you all would like to use the sword as a hook or get with me on it's history. Titch took it from a human in Bidebi when he escaped there so he doesn't know much only that people get intimidated a bit when he draws it and that it repairs itself!

MU

[Re Z L]

Actually...

Skeletons that included "Delete this section and include a link if you choose to use Mythweavers"

Regardless, I don't care to discuss it any further.  If the GMs want to talk to me about it they can feel free to PM me.

[Vergil Tanner]

If you have specific expectations then please make them clear.

I believe both Flint and I have made them very clear through the frequent GM Announcements, all linking back to the most important one that lays out most of the house rules and expectation requirements. I'm sorry if you feel like I have not been clear enough, and I will do my best to clarify matters more effectively in the future.

Nothing throughout the thread has said anything about being required to use the sheet skeleton, until you brought it up with me (and have continued to pile on additional excuses for why you personally don't like Mythweavers).  If we must use the skeleton sheet, then just come out and say it.

I have said several times what we require, and as DarkestKnight just pointed out, I did indeed say that you are required to use the Skeleton.

Similarly, I am not "Piling on excuses" for why I dislike Mythweaver since you expressed skepticism over the issues I had. The most recent confession was more of a clarification on why we specifically want forum-based; I have trouble opening Mythweaver sometimes, so it's easier in the long run for me to be able to open Spoilers to see the Stats rather than taking a 50/50 gamble on whether it will work for me or not.

No one has called anything ICly "The Police."  And I find it unlikely that the phrase is the most grievous anachronism presented thusfar...  Using the phrase "Police Force" accurately describes that function of the military (which is also called a "Police Force" as I pointed out already).  Again, it's just a description, no one is calling anything "The Police" in the game.

You referenced it in your character backstory several times as "The police force," which implies that that is what it is called in-game, since the backstory is from the perspective of your character. I prefaced the original comment with "it's a small niggle," and didn't intend it to become quite such a big deal. The difference between your backstory and the information provided is that the information provided gives a description of its role, and your backstory refers to it as "The Police Force" which suggests that it is its actual name.

Regardless:  I am perfectly happy using whatever is desired for the character sheet, but if it's going to be forced to do it one way then at least say so up front; and I'm happy to change the description it's just frustrating to go and actually use the source material and then be told the source material is incorrect--and to reiterate it's a description not a title being bestowed upon them ICly.

We altered our expectations after realising that we needed a more effective, streamlined and neater character skeleton, and that was clearly communicated in the relevant GM announcement that has been linked back to every time there has been another GM announcement. The original information had a small wording error, true, but it is still accurate as a description. It never said it was called the police force; it simply stated that the military acted as one, which is not the same thing at all. I'm not entirely certain why you continue to make this a big enough deal to openly argue about on the Recruitment Thread.

To further elaborate on another point, Re Z, we plan to accept people on Friday, and get  them playing on Monday. This means that we need all the bios as close to perfect as possible when they get accepted, so we are not waiting on somebody else when we start playing. We also need the Stats and Skills and Feats for easy review to ensure that everything adds up properly, and considering that it took me four attempts to open your bio the other day, we are asking for this to make our job - reviewing your character for application - easier.



@Mister Ugly:

I have been looking over the city guide. [nicely done jeflint  ] Part of Titch's bio was escaping from Bidebi anything More I need to know about the city and do you mind if I toss some color into the city. Titch could end up with a 'hook' in that he is wanted by the city for leading  small revolt and escape.

Ok, so! Extra info:

- It is a VERY slave heavy state. Being non-human is basically legal grounds for enslavement.
- There have been LOTS of failed Slave Revolts over the years. Basically, every attempted one has been crushed.
- They tend to send bounty hunters and assassins after high profile escaped Slaves.
- They worship ONE God, nation wide.
- The Monarchy is of a "Divine Mandate," like the Pharaohs and how European Monarchy used to work, but more intense. The Priest King is supposedly unbroken in its line, and the line of the next High priest is one of his sons.

Riot:

You can have led a revolt, yes, but it was crushed and they probably keep sending bounty hunters and assassins after you.

Also I am taking the trait;
This would be an elf rapier of old design made of Living steel as well as master work
I like the idea of a Half orc with an elf blade even a non magic one....I also have no problem if you all would like to use the sword as a hook or get with me on it's history. Titch took it from a human in Bidebi when he escaped there so he doesn't know much only that people get intimidated a bit when he draws it and that it repairs itself!

Um. What? Where do you get the "Repairs itself" from?
As long as you're proficient with it, we don't mind you using whatever weapon you want, but it being able to repair itself would be a magical effect and you'd need to pay for it.



@Re Z L:

Skeletons that included "Delete this section and include a link if you choose to use Mythweavers"

Which I admitted was an oversight, and apologised for.

Regardless, I don't care to discuss it any further.  If the GMs want to talk to me about it they can feel free to PM me.

I don't believe that's necessary. The answers to your objections have been noted here for everybody to see.



I do apologise to anybody who feels like our expectations were not made clear. The intent was not to confuse, but to correct a previous error. Unfortunately, the Skeleton included an oversight on my part from a previous draft that I had forgotten to delete. It has since been removed, and we are in the middle of editing the opening post to reflect the changes. I regret that we have not done this before, but Jeflint has a very long, stressful job that means that she is often on her phone rather than her computer, and it has simply kept slipping our minds. I'm making sure that the issue is addressed now, and I am sincerely sorry for any confusion or inconvenience that it has caused.

To make it absolutely clear, please use one of the skeletons in the GM announcement, and if you include Mythweavers, we do need a copy of the stats in the spoilers so we know for certain that we have them just in case.

Please and thank you!

Updates have been made to the main entry to bring it in line with the discussions had here.



Appologies for being gone so often but middle of the month is critical at my company and as we deal with Medicaid and Medicare it's important that I focus on that. So luckily Vergil has been the mouth while I've been making sure little kiddies and grannies and others are getting their meds from the state.

Thank you all for your interest and your questions. It has helped a lot.

@Mister Ugly:

Ah, scratch that. I somehow missed the "Living Steel" part. That sword would be worth roughly 820gp base, plus the 200gp on top of that to give it skill bonuses of +1. Hmm.

That's a difficult one, since the Trait seems to imply that you get that for free, which would immediately put you at 1000gp above the wealth of everybody else. So if you want it for free, then we will have to say no to that, I'm afraid. It basically gives you over a third again what everybody else has as a starting wealth. I'm sorry :-/

[indarkestknight]

Could he deduct the difference from his starting wealth (500 gp for living steel weapons, I believe)?

[Vergil Tanner]

500 + Masterwork + 2 +1's = 1000-ish. If he deducted them from his initial funds, why take the Trait in the first place, since he just bought it anyway?
