Epic Fantasy Adventure? (Interest check for a long term RP)

[JFD99]

Do you have room for one more?

I might be interested.

[Carly]

   JFD99, post a character if you want. The character approvals have not happened yet

[JFD99]

Excellent. I'll come up with something soon.

[xPeachyPuff]

Finally got my shit together and redid my character idea. Would love any feedback anyone has. I may end up editing some wording here eventually, but this is pretty much the finale sheet/idea for you guys to check out. I also may add some more info in the additional details section, just a heads up c: I figured she could possibly be a escort for the group, at the Kings behest.

Shae'Rynn Quilivier

Character: Shae'Rynn Quilivier
Player: xPeachyPuff

Race: Dragon (Appears to all as Human)
Age: 87 Years Old (Appears early-20's)
Orientation: Heterosexual
Weight: 120lbs
Height: 5'3"
Hair: White (Slight blue tint towards the mid-bottom)
Eyes: Pale Blue-Green (No pupil, might appear blind to some)

Class: Cleric
Specialities:

• Divine Magics: Magic that is directly provided through a divine source, though is officially her own power, mostly dealing in Radiant damage along with supportive spells.
• Healing Magics: Magic also stemming from her divine source that allows her to heal, cure and some times revive those in need.
• Cold Magics: Due to her nature, Shae can use a limited amount of cold spells in her human form.
• Herbalism: Knowledge/Mixing: Knowing of Herb uses, individually as well as certain blends that can cure ailments or sooth pain.
• First Aid: Basic first aid known by common folk; how to apply bandages, how to administer pressure to open wounds, things like that.
• History of the Realm: Due to her upbringing, Shae is very well versed on the well documented knowledge of the realm, as well as the royal family, fantastical beast sightings and other such things that would be stored.
• Languages: Common, Draconic, Celestial, Sylvan (Fey Language)
• Transformation: Shae is able to transform into her true form at will, though due to her curse it can get very exhausting. This being said, Shae is by no means skilled at changing between her forms, as she has never been allowed to practice it. Her emotions may get the better of her in extreme circumstancing, forcing the change that she wasn't willingly trying to accomplish.
• Cold Resistance: Her true Dragon nature is that of cold and thus, is resistant to cold. She is also very cool to the touch because of this, which can be quite unsettling for those who don't expect it.

Personality:

• Kind-Hearted: Shae'Rynn's heart is always in the right place; she's kind, caring and compassionate, and isn't afraid to show that.
• Curious: Having been locked away from the world pretty much all her life, Shae is very curious about the world, and people, around her.
• Blunt: Due to her upbringing, she can be fairly blunt with how she says things; her thoughts just roll off the tongue and she doesn't do much to soften them, though her intention is never to offend or upset anyone.
• Faithful: Shae has been strong of faith for many years and believes in the good work of the temples, those who serve within them and the Gods themselves.
• Trusting: Shae should perhaps be more careful with who she puts her trust in; often times the promise of a good meal or a warm smile can convince her to follow those she shouldn't.
• Loyal: Despite being easily swayed in some aspects, Shae is fiercely loyal to those who have proved themselves to uphold their own good-aligned beliefs and intentions, and who have shown her kindness and acceptance.
• Timid: In certain aspects, things Shae isn't so accustomed to or experiences in, she can get a little withdrawn and shy. Intimacy, nudity, obvious public displays of affections are all things that might cause her to get a little flustered.
• Secretive: Though she often says what she's thinking, Shae is very good at keeping secrets and with holding information that she knows should be kept private knowledge. While she might tell you she was enslaved by a Mage in her younger years, she would never blurt out being a Dragon or something that only the Kings council would know.
• Empathetic: Going hand in hand with her kindness, Shae is very emotionally connected to others and isn't afraid to let that show. She easily understands those in distress and has been taught to be an extremely attentive listener.
• Strong Moral Compass: Right from wrong is very important to her, and Shae somewhat struggles with the shades of grey that might be buried within that lesson.
• Clumsy: Whether she's just not paying attention or she's extremely focused on what she's doing, Shae can be very clumsy. She has pretty terrible reflects and reaction times to couple this.

History:

• When she was a very young Dragonling, her family were slain by a group of strong, determined adventurers seeking treasure. The group travelled with a powerful Mage, who placed a curse on her that she would forever remain in her human form in hopes that her power would be limited and easily accessed by those who would try to manipulate it; namely himself. Shae would come to realise that this Mage was one of great renown, with his own cult following who admired and affirmed his experiments and practices, which were against the law of the realm. He practised blood magic, those used the life force of others to power his spells rather than that of his own, as well as demonology and other such things.
• This Mage, though smart and cunning, was eventually caught and his home was raided by the guard of the King himself. They took everything, for evidence, further use or disposing of, though there was something there that didn't quite fit with either of those categories, at least not at first. Shae'Rynn was that thing. They caged her, a rabid, young thing still unable to comprehend the body she had been thrust into, and took her back to the King himself to be studied by his most trusted mages and researchers who served on his close council.
• When Shae reached a certain age, she was sent by the King himself to serve in a temple of Lathander; a Deity of Life and Light, of Dawn and Renewal. The temples teachings and her growing faith gave way to her enhanced ability to practice divine magic and she learnt a lot about the temples place within the Kingdom and how it spread a message of rebirth, of love and acceptance, of peace and the comfort of a new dawn, a new day. She eventually became accustomed to her human form, though it still plagued her that she could never return to her true nature while she remained cursed.
• Shae matured at a different rate than most around her, sticking with that of her true form rather than that of a humans, and thus spent many of her younger years being enslaved, poked and prodded by a powerful mage, and then in the more gentle, nurturing environment of the Lathander temple.
• Once she grew into adulthood (around her 70s), Shae was requested, along with a selected few, by the King himself to be a light of faith within his council, someone who could provide foresight on such things with a different perspective. Despite her new found freedom within the castle itself, Shae was still sheltered within its walls and was kept busy with studies of new literature depicting the history of the realm, the Kingdom, the royal family lineage as well as her continued education regarding her magic and abilities.

[JFD99]

Character: Sariandi Lithoniel
Player: JFD99

Race: Elf
Age: 78 (Appearance: 18-early 20s)
Orientation: Bisexual
Weight: 108 lbs
Height: 5'4"
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Emerald

Class: Bard
Specialties:

• Performing (Singing, Lute, Flute) - Sariandi is well-versed into into her art and can expertly play both the flute and the lute, in addition to having an airy and melodious singing voice
• Cantrips - As a performer, Sariandi is able to use both sleight of hand tricks and cantrip spells to wow her audience or get herself out of tricky situations
• Wordcraft - Sariandi is an adept poet and writer, both in verses and prose
• Charisma/Speechcraft - In addition to the quill, Sariandi is adroit with her tongue and not at all bashful, enabling her to use her charms and her words to move others to her side
• Folklore - Sariandi is knowledgeable in folk tales, songs and local legends which she learns during her travels and makes a point to record
• Combat - When words fail, Sariandi is a capable fighter with her elven Shashka and an adroit shot with her crossbow, both from training and from her people's natural ability with ranged weapons

Languages: Elven, Common


Personality:

• Bubbly and sprightly - Sariandi has a lively personality and a general positive outlook on life. She has no issue at all being the life of the party
• Mild-mannered - Be that from virtue of her upbringing or her own personality, Sariandi rarely becomes angry at people and has a generally friendly and easygoing demeanor
• Curious and Wanderlusty - As a young elf, Sariandi has a hunger for experiencing all the world has to offer and even though she has centuries to do so, she eagerly follows whatever road happens to be before her, figuratively and literally
• Occasionally naive - Due to her young age (for an elf), Sariandi has yet to encounter much of the cruelty of the real world and can fail to see ill intentions when confontred with them
• Airhead - Often lost in her own mind, Sariandi can sometimes be distracted or be caught daydreaming at the wrong time
  

History:

• Sariandi was born and raised in an Elvendom from parents versed in the arts of song and music and learned to play and sing from an early age (even by human standards)
• As she approached adulthood, she joined a traveling troupe of minstrels, mainly humans, with whom she traveled for many years, until her companions started showing signs of age and settled down or retired
• During her travels, both alone and with the minstrels troupe, she learned many tales and songs from the human lands, and consigned them, along with elven ones she learned from her childhood
• Once on her own, she became more prone to adventure rather than simply being a traveling performer and learned different skills that would allow her to survive more dangerous trips
• At 64, she made her first kills - a couple of highwaymen who wanted more than her purse. While the killing was necessary, it affected her greatly and she stayed hidden away in a shelter she made for herself in the forest for several weeks as she tried to cope with the trauma. It's only when she witnessed two stags fighting during rut that she realized that sometimes violence is necessary and forgave herself.

Additional Details

• Prized possessions: Sariandi's most prized possessions are her lute, which was given to her by her father before she left her home, and the book she carries around and writes tales and songs into. Those are the two items she would never part with short of a life or death situation.

Hey guys,
I'm after reviewing I believe every app submitted to me for review. I might have missed one or two, if I did I apologise just PM the app/a link to the app and I'll be on it asap.
As its come up a few times, if you are submitting an app please remember to use the app template now located in the opening post. I will request you to change it if you have deviated. Thank you!

[Cirus]

Is there still room for another, and what is the posting rate- casual I hope.

[ZephySempai]

Bruh everyone's characters look so awesome and intense I'm slightly intimidated lol. I'd love to join as well if there is still room.

[Primarch]

Still room. Pile on in.
Rate is expected to be casual.

[A Painter]

Damn, I see there's an alchemist in the group. Was hoping to throw one in for the game. She'd be a purely support character though, unlike the assassin-alchemist. Would something like that be acceptable or should I not try to overlap talents with someone else?

I'm fine with it. The Alchemist/Assassin joined the Discord but I've heard nothing since? So not sure what the status on the character is.

[Primarch]

Opening post updated with notes on the setting & the over-arching plot.

[ZephySempai]

Xane Meister, everybody. A traveling merchant even Belethor would be proud of!

Character: Xane Meister
Player: ZephySempai

Race: Human
Age: 23
Orientation: Heterosexual
Weight: 191
Height: 6’1
Hair: Brown twists
Eyes: Golden Brown

Class: Merchant/Adventurer
Specialties:

• Horse & Wagon (Expert) - No terrain is too rough when gold’s just beyond the horizon.
• Animal Handling (Expert) - Something’s gotta pull this damn cart!
• Diplomacy & Bartering (Expert) - For a limited time only: Two for the price of One!
• Dice Games (Expert) - If you ain’t cheatin’ you’re cheatin’ yourself!
• History (Moderate) - This iron-treated one of a kind romp stuffer is the last surviving artifact from the ancient Analyogape Dynasty...
• Language (Moderate) - Gold is a universal language.
• Perception (Moderate) - That’s either really expensive, or really dangerous...!
• Stealth (Skilled) - Can’t kill what you can’t see!
• Deception (Skilled) - The person you’re trying to reach is deceased and is unfortunately unable to answer for any slights against you...

Personality:

• Gray - Everything is as it shall be and nothing a single Human can do will change it. People will get angry. Luck will dry up. We live, and then we die. Nothing much we do here really matters. Find something that makes you happy, and do your best to prolong that feeling. Eventually, however, it will fade. Nothing lasts forever. Everything changes with time. You may hope that these changes happen in your favor, but even if they do, recognize it was all a cosmic accident. For one man is but a single blade of grass to the forces of the universe. And when that blade falls, another will rise to take its place.


• Analytical - Xane spends a lot of time in his head due to extended periods of lonely travel. He is a critical thinker and attempts to not just know that a caterpillar is green, but understand that it spends much of its life feeding on blades of grass, which is why, in order to better protect it from predators, evolution has colored it green. Unable to swing a sword as skillfully as some of his clientele, he wields knowledge in the same way a caterpillar wields its green skin.


• Cautious - Xane is not a Fighter. He is not a Mage. He is not a Spirit or Shaman. He is but a simple man of flesh and blood. He is a no-named traveler among these roads and, if laid out across a crowded path, he would either be stepped on or stepped over. Because of this, he takes full responsibility over his livelihood. He uses logic and reason before pursuing any deals, and will turn down mountains of gold if the risk toward his life was too great. What good is a set of rare emerald Dragon Scales from inside the belly of the beast?


• Aloof - When outside a deal or diplomatic transaction, Xane is fairly absentminded when it comes to interacting with others. Much of his time is spent hustling and haggling. Gold is his first language. When placed in a situation other than his comfort zone, he is an archer without a bow; a rogue without a blade. He flails about intimate conversations like an awkward teenager and struggles in the presence of those who aren't interested in monetary gains. This world would be so much easier if everyone truly had a price.

History:

• First Born Son - Xane Meister was born to the unwed couple Valyn Meister and Lynette Hauser. His father was a merchant at the time who'd moved to a large town chasing big dreams of success. It was here that he'd met the love of his life and after several impassioned months, was blessed with a son. Xane was showered with as much love and affection his parents could offer, and though their lifestyles began to change, Xane knew nothing more than his parent's love.


• A Big Brother - After marrying, Valyn and Lynette added a forth addition to their growing family; a daughter named Valery. Now a big brother, Xane had the responsibility of caring for and protecting his younger sister while guiding her through the mysteries of life. It was an exciting time for the youth and he and is sister became inseparable!


• A Household Torn - With two growing children and an ever changing socio-political environment, finances became a sensitive subject in the Meister household. The Patriarch, Valyn, would be gone for months at a time seeking fame and riches, leaving all the duties of the household to his wife, Lynette. Xane also worked hard to take the strain off his mother. He opened his very one Lemon Juice stand in an effort to support his household and be just like his father. But it seemed like it was never enough. Eventually, when the children were old enough to tend to themselves, Lynette picked up work as a maid for a local noble during a year's stretch without word from her husband. When Valyn finally returned with empty pockets, his wife had decided that he loved chasing gold more than he loved his family, and if he were not to be around, than she would not have him around.


• A Bitter Fallout - Things grew turbulent from this point forward. Following her father's influence, Valery sought comfort in life's many luxuries. She sought the life of glitz and glamour much like her father did, and gravitated toward any sleazy or shallow man that offered that life to her. Xane also watched his mother return home tired, abused, and overworked before returning the very next day to the same environment she hated. Xane decided that, as a man, it was his responsibility to repair his broken family. He confronted his father and demanded the man give up his dreams and return home, but his father refused. So Xane made a deal: "I will build wealth beyond imagination! A wealth so great you will never have to chase another coin again. A wealth so glamorous that Valery will never sell herself for anything less than true love. A wealth so comfortable that our mother may rest her weary head without wondering how her children are faring in the world! And when I build this wealth, you will return home. You will apologize for being a fool, and grow old and grey surrounded by your family!"


• A Long Road Ahead - And so the youth set out on a grand adventure with nothing but the clothes on his back and the lessons that life has taught him. Days long traveled and nights lightly slept, Xane has carved out a lifestyle for himself that slowly pushes him ever closer to his true goal. These roads are dangerous, however. Filled with thieves, cutthroats, and liars alike, but he will let none stand in the way of reuniting his family and restoring the love that warmed him as a child.

Additional Details

Xane’s ambitions to reunite his family is the driving force behind all his actions. Though he rarely talks about them, they are always at the forefront of his mind. His rivalry with his father fuels his own will to live. He will not allow himself to be killed out in the wilds and will abandon everything and everyone around him to save his own skin (They would do the same). He is also exceptionally skilled in the art of strategic withdraw.

[Carly]

Xane Meister has hand grenades ?

[ZephySempai]

Lol, he's not running around talkin' about some "Frag Out!"

More like clay bombs filled with black powers to make a nice-sized boom, or smoke grenades for a stealthy escape.

​

Character: Brianni LaRue
Player: Cirus

Race: Mostly Human, with elven somewhere back there
Age: Appearing 30
Orientation: Bisexual
Weight: 180
Height: 5'9"
Hair: Black
Eyes: Gray

Class: Mercenary Rogue, alchemist
Specialties:

• Lore
• Alchemy
• Traps, locks and other mechanics of secrecy
• Melee combat

Personality:

• Brianni LaRue lives for the mission. The attainment of a goal or item on contract. Taught by the sorcerer Orleon Templeton, she is an expert on items of both precious and eclectic value.
• She carries herself quite seriously, though rumors exist of a strange cloaked and relaxed lifestyle in the myriad taverns and inner courtyards of Rivermoon.
• LaRue carries numerous scars on a face. Nor is it something that she reveals lightly or at all.
• Keeping her loyalties close to her, Brianni will protect someone only if it is part of the contract.
• LaRue holds a deep rage, that she wears on her face, and a resentment for those that see themselves as entitled. Thus she is the bane of the grand Oaken District.
• While she much prefers to work alone, if the contract calls for she will work with others.
  
• She has a curious affinity, at times sadistic, for blades and poisons

History:

• Nothing has escaped the lips of many about Brianni LaRue. While some have seen her hard-drinking in the shaded taverns of Rivermoon's Caid District, other swear she was born in a brothel's sweaty and bloody bed.


• Regardless of the tales, one thing is true- the scars on her face. Memory serves many well on the night LaRue got into a bar fight with a pushy drunk and got a flagon in the face and flung out into the gutter.


• Discovered by the drunk dwarf C'ang DerrThorn and taken to Orleon Templeton, his employer; Brianni started on a new life, a mercenary and rogue of extremely needful things. Often times needed by Templeton himself.Thus she will drink and even relax around sorcerers and dwarves.


• Either through teaching, alchemy, skill or sorcery LaRue has a knack, a spontaneous ability, to get out of tight situations. It is an improvisation that has cost many dearly.

Relationships/Connections:

• Cang DerrThorn (comrade in arms)
• Orleon Templeton (teacher and employer)

Additional Details

• Brianni wears obsidian armor that holds many of her improvisational 'solutions'. It is riddled with pouches, slips, folds and compartments. Other than a close circle around her it is unknown if it is enchanted or not.
• LaRue, dutiful to her work, carries a array of melee weapons including swords and an occasional small crossbow for sudden surprises or opportunities.

[Primarch]

Hey folks, if you're waiting on a review bear with me. Very busy week but I'll be going over everything asap.
