Hello and welcome aboard! I've been looking forward to running this thing and I'm glad to have all of you along<br/><br/>So first things first, Here's our Character sheet thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=303273.0). Feel free to drop your critters right there! I'll also be putting up NPC blurbs as we encounter and invent them.<br/><br/>Second, about those characters... Before I launch the IC, I want you guys to take a little time to set up character relationships; you've all been traveling together for at least a week or two to get to Torch, probably longer. So you might not be especially intimate with each other (maybe you are though) but just to establish the group, just come up with a few things everyone would know about your character, maybe something only one person might know, and how you came to meet first someone in the group. Doesn't have to be long, and can definitely be collaborative! Campaign traits might help; As it stands, we've got two Numerian Archaeologists, a Skymetal smith, and two Local Ties, so i can see three people who want to dig around in Numeria, one who wants to find out about how smelting skymetals works, and one guy who's like "Hey, i know someone in Torch, why not start there?"<br/><br/>Speaking of, who is Jeffery's Local Ties trait with? did you want the default Old Wizard Dude, or did you have some other sort of NPC in mind, Tavarokk? If you go with the old wizard dude, that gives you a ready-made connection to Autocad's Arcanist, who's also got him, but you can go with any sort of NPC you'd like - we got casino owners, we've got elderly dwarves, we've got a scrapyard operator, we've got a brothel madam oer two, gimme a gist and Ill hook ya up!<br/><br/>Also, before the IC goes live, feel free to take this time to adjust anything about your character that you feel might need it. I know I'm always wanting to go back and fiddle with a character to get them in the space I think they need to be in a group, but maybe I'm just neurotic.<br/><br/>And finally, I'd like you guys to use this header: It's a bit bulky, I apologize, and am open to smoother suggestions  ;D<br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatright][img height=300 padding=5]https://66.media.tumblr.com/75cffc883b880012bf36b59287bcd191/tumblr_p7wo9yQi111v4fvg9o1_1280.jpg[/img][/floatright]<br/>[size=16pt][url=CHARACTER SHEET POST]Jhess[/url][/size]<br/>[b]HP:[/b] CURRENT / MAX | [b]AC:[/b] | [b]Saves:[/b] [i]Fort:[/i] - / [i]Ref:[/i] - / [i]Will:[/i] -<br/>[b]Initiative:[/b] | [b]Active effects / conditions:[/b] | <br/>[b]Tagging:[/b]<br/>[hr]</code></pre>
