Kaitlyn Tanner

Class/Level: Rogue/2
Background: Gladiator
Race:  Human
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral


Personality:

Sly, conniving and deceitful but outwardly bright, friendly and affable. Pathologically incapable of holding a grudge.


Age: 20
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 147
Eyes: Grey
Hair: Russet


Backstory:

Kaitlyn fell into her current lifestyle after: failing to throw a fight, killing the wrong person, stealing the wrong artifact, sleeping with the wrong person's significant other or any one of a dozen other stories she'll offer up if asked.

What is verifiably true is that she did start off as an arena fighter and that she is no longer welcome back home. Kaitlyn now moves from place to place (usually one step ahead of the trouble her mere presence stirs up). Stealing treasures, bilking the gullible (and most especially corrupt) of their belongs or seducing the chaste as the mood takes her. Generally reliable (although some might suggest that she can mostly be relied on to do her own thing).

Cute!

One note; unless she's from really far away, the "gladiator" background is going to be more like a prizefighter or "fight club"-style thing, rather than, like, "Gladiator" style Colosseum fights or the like  I think that's what you were after anyway though?

As for your

Magic items...

Yes, plural, I forgot that common magic items were a thing, and I love them  Kaitlyn possesses the following two items:

Lantern of Revealing
Wondrous item, uncommon
   While lit, this hooded lantern burns for 6 hours on 1 pint of oil, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30'. Invisible creatures and objects are visible as long as they are in the lantern's bright light. You can use an action to lower the hood, reducing the light to dim light in a 5-foot radius.
   This lantern is made of bronze, and has spent a good deal of time underwater, from the odd cluster of barnacles here and there and the metal's strong patina. The light it sheds has a very faint green tinge to it.

Mystery Key
Wondrous item, common
   A question mark is worked into the head of this key. The key has a 5% chance of unlocking any lock into which it is inserted. Once it unlocks something, the key disappears.

I've got the OOC thread up here . and the character sheet thread here. Ampere, go ahead and add your sheet in there if you like.

Still working on my character. Just wanted to ping in to make sure that was known. Turns out writing down all the spells is tedious and my brain doesn't like it

That said expect a Hobgoblin Hexblade some time tomorrow.

I was thinking of something like a pit-fighter, but with a focus more on making the fight a spectacle than on winning as efficiently as possible. With a view to specialising in 'Swashbuckler' when she hits Rogue 3.

Is this still open for more players? I've recently started working nights and haven't been able to attend my usual game so I'm looking for something here I can keep up with at any time of day :)

[Chulanowa]

Sure! it's looking like some of the earlier interest might have waned, but i'm open for more 

[Murvoen]

Awesome ^^ Then I'll have a character sheet up either later today or tomorrow!

[Hamadryad]

I'll have a sheet up tonight!

[Hamadryad]

Gotr my character all statted up here. I'll post the personality/backstory stuff up tomorrow, but basically the gist is she used to live in the forest with her kind but became enamoured with the city while coming along on a trading trip, decided to stay there alone. Had no job, had to resort to scamming and crime to get by, eventually became interested in adventuring and signed on with the party.

Looks like we have ourselves a rogue-off 

[Gilgameshian]

Two rogues, a ranger, and a warlock. This really is the "we are a little bit shady" adventurers group.

Trust us, we won't take your gold!

[Murvoen]

xD This going to be great!

[Chulanowa]

Well, looks like we've got one guy, two gals, and a bipedal lammergeier.  I guess it'll have to do.

Looks good to me Hamadryad; go ahead and put her on the character page, and I'll have your magic items up on the OOC page in a few

[Murvoen]

The lammergeier is currently female, but if we need more guys I can keep the picture I have and make her a him :p

[Rune]

Any room for a former wizard of That that was cursed by a rival to possess the body of his former slave girl?

The slave girl has latent sorceress powers that the former wizard needs to learn to unlock.

Sort of like Edwin, from Baldur's Gate II, without being quite so annoying.

[Snake]

This still open?

[Chulanowa]

Unfortunately, no, I've already got my four players. i'll drop a line if there's a spot though!
