Name: Lord Andur Estevan The Great; Saviour of Greenvale, Demonbane, The Shadowhunter
Class(es): Barbarian 4(Ancestral Guardian), Wizard (Divination) 2
Race: Human
Alignment: CG
Description: Pretty much as the picture. Calm, confident, trustworthy seeming paladin
Fetishes: I like kinky mind-control and losing control most, lewd monster molestations, futa, etc..I mean well done cute females work too. I like degrading touch, but in a nice way. Oh, and if you prefer gurls, dun mind having him turned into a her. Pretty much open to most things not listed here too, just do an ask on your favourites! ^^
Backround: Folk Hero
Backstory:
Publically known:
Lord Andur Estevan is a legendary hero, once a simple farmer he picked up arms and defeated a mighty necromancer threatening his home. From thereon, his fame only grew, and it wasn't short before his very name send bandits and vagrants running. He isn't quite the king of his own country, but he occupies the highest rank his lowly birth allows him. And, if the princess was slightly.. well, alright, a lot more .. if the princess could stop shattering mirrors with her apperance, he'd likely be prince-in waiting of his own country. He seems content being a passive protector of his lands but the people's insistance and pleas guide him to take up many a duty beyond.

No evil can stand before Lord Estevan, that is the true conviction of those of his home-town and the surrounding areas, to such a degree that he's been blessed by mighty ancestral spirits defenses. He often appears to be moody and and tries to discourage people's respect of him, claiming he is just a lowly and quite lucky mortal.. of course, a hallmark of a true, humble hero.

Full Story

Andur Brownstone has both the worst and the best luck he could have ever imagined. He was just running away from a wicked necromancer and his creatures (and failing), when the guy groaned in pain, gripped his chest and then was wracked with dark magic and collapsed, together with most of his risen army.
Andur wasn't sure what had happened, knew nothing of black magic or what to make of this,.. so he decided to poke the corpse with a pitchfork to make sure he was dead, when some of the fearful militia approached and mistakenly, began praising him as a hero, the man that had slain the mighty necromancer and a whole undead army.
Sure, he could fight, ...somewhat... but he certainly was not some sort of hero or champion like everyone seemed to think... and the more he tried to tell people the more they just believed him humble.

Still, it didn't take long for him to be called to the kings palace.. only to have his little caravan attacked by bandits.. he barely held his own, cutting down one before being disarmed and, if not for the sacrifice of all of his guards, he'd have died too.. but as the last of his guards died driving off the heavily armed bandits, he stood alone, ready to admit his shame....
None would listen to his explanation. People just assumed that only he had been able to defeat this mighty group of bandits, were a whole squad of elite guard had failed.

This kind of coincidence continued, one situation leading to another, to build his ill-earned reptutation more and more. Admittedly, Andur was no fool, trying his best to learn both martial and magical skill, not because he wanted to be a hero, but becaue now -everyone- wanted a piece of him. And, for some reason, people kept asking his advice as well, skilled weaponmasters asking -him- to give them suggestions! He had no idea what to do about this.. but he did pick up a few things over time.
Once, an upstart kingsguard challenged him, displeased with him now technically being outranked through Estevan's knighing, so he challenged the man to a duell..
He long considered just withdrawing.. feignig illness.. but when he saw the hopeful look in some children's eyes in his audience, what could  he have done but try his best? He knew he'd fail. He drew his sword against the masterful duelist and hoped for the best - a swift defeat with little injury- but instead, the skilled man suddenly surrendered, claiming he could not read Estevan's masterfully bladework He had never seen someone that powerful have so many openings, which could only mean feints about feints and that any strike against the lord would mean his indubitable Defeat. And thus, Lord Andur's legend only grew...

Of course, not everyone fell for Sir Estevan's, as he was known by then, deception. A wizened old mage finally approached him, knowing of the truth.. but Andur's relief at finally having an 'out' from his unwanted (and dangerous) role of hero was sorely disappointed. The mage gifted him with a set of gloves that would give him the strength of a true hero.. and warned him to do his best from now on. There were toads involved in the mages warnings, although, later on, Aldur suspected this had been a joke.. he would not test that however.

Personality:
Lord Andur Estevan, the Hero, is a light of hope in dark times. Even greater monsters fear his name and if not for his strength, he is known for his honesty and sense of loyalty.

More

While it is true he is loyal and not a weakling, he is certainly NOT honest. Andur Estevan is painfully aware of his string of luck getting him to where he is at and his own shortcomings where men and creatures that could likely take him down easily fear not the man, but the reputation.
He is also aware that if he reveals he is not the hero everyone thinks him to be, that would cause strife and panic, ending up causing far more harm than keeping up his pretentious act. Alright, admittedly the willing females interested in him due to his noble standing do not -hurt- the matter.

Still, being treated as a hero and protector by everyone had a strange effect on the lowly farmer that once ran away from a mighty necromancer. Despite himself, he is slowly becoming the hero he pretends to be.

He isn't overly fond of being a hero, and quite afraid of a lot of things, even if he doesn's show such, but.. what little choice does he have? He gives people hope. So he has to be strong and unbeatable.. for them. And as much as he loathes risking his life against impossible odds, that is what he has to do.

Mirian Evenwood

Description: Her eyes are green, with subtle golden streaks. Depending on the situation, she is either dressed with her very provocative dress of excellent quality, or if she has to keep a low profile she wears a loose black hooded robe over her dress. Otherwise as in the picture.

Biography: Mirian (or Miri) was left in the steps of a temple dedicated to Sune. She never learned who her real parents were. She was raised to become a priestess, but while she was goodhearted, she never bothered to memorize even the simplest of prayers. In her dreams, a heavenly voice told her in a language that she knew from birth that her path wasn't that of a temple priestess. She knew that she could trust that voice. Guided by the voice, when she reached adulthood and was asked if she would join the temple, she rejected, surprising everyone.

She left the temple guided by Seraphina, the voice in her heard and celestial guide. She travelled the lands joining adventuring groups when she had to to fight evil, and leaving them when she had to stay behind to help the locals to recover from their ordeals.

Personality: Mirian is a champion of goodness. She loves watching happiness in others, and she will try her best to please everyone...sometimes even those who don't deserve it. She is aware of her weakness, but she doesn't really consider it a bad thing. Mirian is generally very brave, not because of her bloodline but as a product of continuously conquering her fears. She knows how to read people - a skill she has picked up from interacting with commoners. She is also very patient and tolerating - which is not always a good thing. The reason that she is dressing up, is because she has noticed that people seem to like her more when she is dressed like that, and she likes the attention. Having grown up in a temple of Sune, she isn't very shy and can laugh off lewd comments from the local village idiot. However she is generally pure, with her actual sex experience being limited to kissing. It isn't that she isn't intrigued by romance, but her continuous crusade for good leaves her little time for that.

Oh hi there Aenon so what is your character up to?

seriously though, looks like a yummy group, anyone wanna talk backstory-aquaintancing or maybe hopes/expectations whilest the DM eyes us suspiciously? ^^

[Aenon]

You will have to 'corrupt' her first for that

Well mine and your character can just know each other from having gone to adventures together in the past.

Implying B would not consequentially lead to A.

Nah, My chars too CG to be -too- corruptive. Though hrmnn.. maybe a lil..

[Kathyan]

Made some minor changes to my equipment, exchanged torches and rations for a lamp, oil and a set of divining cards (fake tarokka deck) so Ludovika will now be stealing food too


About characters knowing each other already I was thinking Ludovika would know the others from before albeit in disguise, could even involve different personas if the whole group does not know each other.

'I got something to feed you right here' OwO

Yeah...you will probably have to just be around to get free food xd

[LisztesFerenc]

  Character sheet looks. How does Andur deal 2d6+7 damage with the greatsword?

  Also, the background features may not work that well in Barovia, due to how isolated it is. But theres still a chance someone will have heard of you.

  Other than that, it will be good to see a shared background worked out for the party. Hows the fluff coming GunmetalDreamer?

(Note: Presumed 4 Javelins, and 10 ft of hempen rope used up in prior adventures. Because!)

  In one incident? Or seperatly?

Yeah I doubt there will be a temple of Sune in Barovia but we will survive without free rooms




From what I have gathered, me and Frog could have out chars be fellow adventurers, who happen to know Kathyan's char. Her char could also know GMD's char, and lets say she introdused her to us. How does that sound?

[Kathyan]

'I got something to feed you right here' OwO

Oh how nice, do you have something to drink as well?

Yeah...you will probably have to just be around to get free food xd

She can always steal or seduce for free food or lodging. I am not sure who is seducing who though in the case above.

[GunmetalDreamer]

  Other than that, it will be good to see a shared background worked out for the party. Hows the fluff coming GunmetalDreamer?

Slow.  I probably shouldn't have said as much as I did, because the brain keeps wanting to think I've already done it.

Ah! Simply, the way he does 7 damage is as follows: First, I apply his str-mod of 4, then I add in rage of 2, then, I am bad at math and edit my charsheet back to basic non raged- stats because I clearly dun know what I'm doing.

I'm fine with his backround not doing much, I assumed that to begin with.

In one incident? Or seperatly?

Before he was capable of spellcasting, he lost three javelins fighting against what the villagers thought demons, in reality the shrub-creatures of a wicked and more than a little crazed druid.

He lost the fourth spear showing off at court where he accidentially tossed it onto the grounds of the elfen embassy. He was too emberassed to try and get it back, also the elves were looking at him like this. And he was not sure if this was flirting or murdering eyes, so yeah.

He lost ~6 feet of hempen rope tying up afformentioned druid in their sleep. (No they were not a cute bondage maiden, too old and smelly, most certainly), and he used up another 4 or so feet to construct an impromptu belt when he could not find his belt after a long drinking night.

Oh how nice, do you have something to drink as well?

Oh yeah, I got a good drink for you right here.. the cap's a little stuck though, you might have to suckle on it.  (´・ω・`)

Slow.  I probably shouldn't have said as much as I did, because the brain keeps wanting to think I've already done it.

You can do it. I have faith! ^ (°.°) ^

[GunmetalDreamer]

Okie doke, it should be done now.

Switched out the Languages (forgot Vistani was Secret), the new ones are a bit of a stretch, but should be fine (I'll switch Draconian out for Infernal if that seems more Cult/Mad Wizardy to you).  Ended up settling for a +1 Weapon since I had to recoup some of my cash to get up to an Uncommon Magic item (and since Froggie beat me to the Gauntlets of Ogre Power, and Aenon is charming enough to make the Lenses of Charming redundant, I couldn't justify scraping).

Oh, right, and I forgot 9 is actually a -1 stat.  I don't think I'll be grappling people into bite-time any time soon.

[Stendarr]

Can you guys sneak me in, or is it full?

[LisztesFerenc]

Okie doke, it should be done now.

  Looks good. So her uncle was a vampire, or a vampire spawn?

Switched out the Languages (forgot Vistani was Secret), the new ones are a bit of a stretch, but should be fine (I'll switch Draconian out for Infernal if that seems more Cult/Mad Wizardy to you).

  Either Infernal or Draconic works for a mad wizard cult.

Can you guys sneak me in, or is it full?

  I have 4 players, I think I can handle 5.

[Stendarr]

I have 4 players, I think I can handle 5.

You're lovely. I'll try and make a character quick so I don't hold us up.

[Roleplay Frog]

*Cracks frogwhip*

[GunmetalDreamer]

  Looks good. So her uncle was a vampire, or a vampire spawn?

Spawn.  Basically, there was a Master Vampire at one point, but he got kacked before she was born, which left his Spawn free-willed (though lacking in many of the iconic powers of vampire-kind ... like creating more spawn).  They started getting involved in Necromancy to try and cross the gap, and that spread out to their puppets at the top.

You're lovely. I'll try and make a character quick so I don't hold us up.

Heyo Stendarr!

*clears throat, makes amazing tank noises* Why that is correct, not only can I give y'all a free dodge plus resistance against the one I am fighting, I also have 20 cons to not die myself.

[Kathyan]

Oh, right, and I forgot 9 is actually a -1 stat.  I don't think I'll be grappling people into bite-time any time soon.

A 10 wouldn't have changed things too much but I think she can always receive some help.

I got a 5 as well.   but yeah we've got one paragon of physical resistance and one of magnetic personality.

By the way have anyone figured out if you know each other, I was thinking Ludovika could present herself as either a skilled swordswoman, a unscrupulous rogue, a traveling fortune teller or whatever else you would like to have previously met her as.
