				You can say hello and chat freely here :-)<br><br>We'll be doing more character building now that everyone is assembled. <br><br>As mentioned in the recruitment thread you guys are now starting as <strong>1st level characters</strong>. I'll accept any kind of character sheet and have linked mythweavers in the first post if you'd like to use an off-site sheet. However, any other sheet format is also accepted. The <strong>story begins in a small pioneer village</strong> on a New World style fantasy continent of which very little is known. To recap!<br><br>60-ish years ago the <strong>Kingdom of Old World</strong> funded a massive expansion fleet to the <strong>New World</strong>. Colonists and adventurers flocked with them and established various ports and towns across the shattered coastline of the New World. What was thought to be an easy expansion however soon halted when various forces of inland began fighting back, hunting stray pioneers, killing unwary adventurers as they explored ruins. It was soon discovered that some sort of empire of monsters is hiding beyond the mountain range. <strong>For last several years the navy has been at constant war with that mysterious monster empire</strong>, and <strong>only some of the most remote towns are saved</strong> from the brutal fighting, <strong>such as our little starting town</strong>. These save havens are now the hotspots where of adventurers who care not for the war. These are the towns where the schemers come to make deals over who will be the next governor, and odd monstrous creatures come to shake hands with hooded figures, plotting their nefarious plans over the future of the New World's colonies.<br><br><strong>Pioneer's Pier </strong>is a town of about 1000 inhabitants in a lush inland valley that opens up into a mountain shrouded lake-land of mainly unexplored territory. <strong>How did your characters come to end up here </strong>is what I'd like us to decide before we begin ;D<br><br>You all already have some ideas for the backgrounds, but now is time to build those up. I intend this story to have room for exploring adventures inspired in part by the character arcs and so tying your characters into the world is important. Who do they have in the colonies that care for them, enemies, friends, family? How did they obtain their powers and what further deals do you think they might be willing to make to grow them? I'd like the characters to end up being a tight knit adventuring party of friends, but you can also think up some fun potential conflicts that might arise between them. <br><br>Please plot everything out here in the OOC. I trust you guys can keep IC-OOC knowledge separate in play :-)<br><br><strong>Once you have some more concrete ideas on character background</strong> (or while you ruminate on it) you can start looking at the <strong>bonds</strong>. These are connections, or beginnings of connections that you must have with <strong>at least one</strong> other player character at the beginning of the story. You can look at <strong>these for inspiration</strong> (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGZKblpJGgYaExuQUJmcG1PN0E/view), or come up with your own. These are quick and short connections, descriptors of recent developments in the relationship, or simply first impressions that your character might have of another. They can be one sided, or reciprocated.

				Heya!<br><br>I'll get a sheet up as soon as possible, but Grunkar Broadfinger, the Mountain Dwarf Fighter shall be developed accordingly.<br><br><div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ba/50/b3/ba50b3e88e9b92df87fab3c799ef6cab.jpg)</div><strong>Name: </strong> Grunkar Broadfinger<br><strong>Race/Class: </strong> Mountain Dwarf Fighter (ultimately Champion archetype)<br><strong>Brief Description: </strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">A dwarf not well-suited to a life within the confines of the walls and tunnels of his clan’s holdings, Grunkar has an intense natural inclination to wander. He is very devoted to the task at hand, but has a hard time truly understanding others. Grunkar is a very devout religious dwarf, worshipping across the dwarven pantheon, but favoring [appropriate deity of strength or defensive warfare], hoping to emulate his god’s form by standing as a bastion before oncoming danger. He fears the terrors of the deep places of the world, and is distrustful of those who wield mind-altering magics, knowing all too well the horrors that can be unleashed when one is made to act against their will. Grunkar tries to be sociable when involved with others, but finds himself speaking on subjects his fellows seldom care about, or going off on unrelated tangents. He loves his beard more than gold, gems, ale, and she-dwarves, and will compose doggerel verses about it when he has time to spare.<br><br>Grunkar is, well, a dwarf’s dwarf. A stout, hearty fellow, he is broad and well-thewed, made even more stout by the thick armor he wears, a nearly ever-present addition to his own bulk. Even when going about peaceable business and eschewing his favored plates of steel, Grunkar carries a solid shield over his shoulder, a versatile tool when danger presents itself. He favors axes over blunt instruments, primarily the long-hafted blades of his people, but he keeps a smaller axe on his belt as a tool or weapon of last resort. Grunkar favors practicality over displays of grandeur when it comes to his garb, often sticking to drab leggings and tunics, simple leather boots, and warm furs to ward off the elements. His pack is brimming with such garments at most times, however, as they don’t really fit under his armor well.<br><br>Grunkar’s bushy brown brows flow from one side of his face to the other with only the barest of breaks between them. He keeps the edges of his moustache and beard neatly trimmed, a flowing mass of deep brown with flecks of red throughout. Impeccably groomed, the adornment begins at his temples, cascading from the edges of the rest of his hair down his cheeks to meet his moustache. From there the combined threads of hair are woven intricately into a fine pattern, various geometric shapes interspersed with each other, occasionally tied off with tiny rings of silver binding them together and pulling them into place. The rare red hairs are wound about the silver rings, giving them a subtle striped pattern. After the beard leaves his chin, it is worked into three larger braids, each bound with a piece of string of a different hue. The leftmost braid is bound in blue, signifying the sky, the vast expanse that limits dwarven ambition. The rightmost is bound in a shiny onyx black, signifying the depths of the world from whence his people came, his history. The middle braid is bound in white, signifying righteousness, his goal in the world. At the tip of each braid, each are brought together and tied with a plain brown band with tiny, poor quality emerald flecks, signifying the life he must live to bind it all into one cohesive whole.</div></div>

				Hi, everyone! Happy to get a chance to write with you all in this game, and looking forward to seeing what the other characters are like. I'm a D&amp;D newbie as well, but I've experienced a tiny bit here and there.<br><br>This is the basic concept that mine's currently at.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">My character.</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/bc/05/1a/bc051a44a4f4f0062f750f37bb3a226b.jpg)</div><strong>Name: </strong> Nhyris Extaminos<br><strong>Race/Class:</strong> Yuan-ti Pureblood Warlock<br><strong>Brief Description:</strong> <br>Nhyris likes shiny things, gems and jewelry. Though she doesn’t talk about it much, she believes that a show of wealth is like a show of power, and weaker people will cower at the sight of it. She also is aware that wealth can be dangerous, so she favors wearing a cloak with a deep hood to cover her head and upper body, and loose, non-restrictive clothing underneath. With the hood on, she could pass for an average human female, or a half human. Her body is of willowy build and her hair black with a gloss of dark green. Her golden reptilian eyes and the smattering of green scales on her body are the things that usually set her apart though. Another thing of note that is not readily visible is the stylized black tattoo of a moth on the middle of her back, over her heart.<br><br>Born a clone in a sorcerer’s laboratory and awakened by accident at full growth, she looks just like the Original, and doesn’t know yet what might happen to her if the original ever dies. As far as she is aware, she was created for various purposes. Though her recollection of the Original’s recent memory is hazy at best, she does retain clearer memories of the Original’s past. She works to set herself apart from the Original, however, wanting to be an existence on her own terms, with her own power and identity. After wandering homeless and cautious of being pursued by the sorcerer and the Original, she grasped at the first hint of power that was dangled in front of her--a Patron and a pact. Now, she wanders as a Warlock with a five inch cube box that she carries with her everywhere, strapped like an odd pack at her back.<br><br>Nhyris isn’t good, but she isn’t exactly evil either, though she may occasionally be swayed to do evil if there is enough persuasion. Being neutral, at the core, she cares little for law or chaos, and instead looks out for her best interests.<br><strong>Familiarity With D&amp;D:</strong> Basic, not too much.<br><strong>How Often Do You Elliquiy?:</strong> Almost daily.<br>&nbsp;<br>Trinket: <br><br>SidekickBOTToday at 2:40 PM<br>@Mirrah:&nbsp; d12&nbsp; = (6) = 6<br>SidekickBOTToday at 2:40 PM<br>@Mirrah:&nbsp; d100&nbsp; = (94) = 94<br><br>A 3-foot cube box that causes bread placed in it for more than one minute to become toasted and buttered on one side. -- After some discussion, altered this to a 5 inch cube box, as in the description above.<br><br>Her tattoo looks similar to this image:<br>(https://comps.canstockphoto.com/vector-illustration-of-a-sketch-tattoo-vector-clipart_csp48372204.jpg)<br></div></div><br>I'll try to work on my character sheet sometime this weekend.

				If anyone is interested in a bond with a Chaotic Good Tiefling Bard, let me know as I'm seeking some for her. She's friendly and approachable, so virtually any and all can seek her out (granted they don't fear or hate her kind). :-)<br><br>Here is her background, if anyone's interested to read before making a decision:<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Epiphany, Child of the Cursed Moon</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Description: </strong><br><div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4e/8f/c4/4e8fc425cc55fdaca27cad147ea0b37a.jpg)</div>The Tiefling female stands tall and with a lithe figure that’s usually hidden behind layers of clothes. Her skin has the same crimson shade as her horns and is somewhat scaled, the tip of her pierced ears pointed ever so slightly. From her scalp falls long, dark red hair, the straight, silken locks ending near the middle of her back. She possesses almond shaped eyes which reside above tall cheekbones, both orbs of hers seem to harbour a bright yellow hue – they emit kindness and optimism; not a single word or action of hatred can kill the hope in her spheres. Her nose, being slightly upturned, only adds to the charm of her face. A big, wide smile on her prominent lips on a small mouth, only adds to the bubbly charm that this Tiefling seems to carry no matter which situation she’s in. Epiphany seems to have adapted freckles from her human ancestors – the small, pigmented dots are spread across her face like drops of paint sprayed across a canvas. Her chin is small, her jawline connecting to the rest of her face with soft edges. She’s got wide hips and a medium-sized bust. She’s usually seen wearing simplistic dresses in all shades accompanied by an instrument of choice being either a lyre, lute or viol as well as a small book to take notes or scribble impromptu lyrics in. Despite being her cheerful self, she often intimidates people with her looks. Her singing voice has been described as many to be ‘like notes of a flute carried through the winds of a storm’ – powerful, yet light.<br><br><strong>Backstory: </strong><br>Two decades ago, underneath a blood moon and in a cramped room placed within the alleys of thieves and rogues, sounded the cries of a newborn baby girl. Feared even among her own, only wanted by her mother, the Tiefling infant was soon given a title that could outrank even her father, a notorious and evil captain living his dream sailing the seas and stealing from those unlucky enough to come across him and his crew of dishonourable men and women. Her title, Child of the Cursed Moon, would render her abandoned by the captain, a man so worried about his treasures and life that he chose to leave with a promise of no return. Alas, he blamed her entirely for letting a curse befall their only child. <br><br>The rumours spread like wildfire. The fear grew to intense hatred. Even with a name such as Epiphany, her mother could not protect herself and the child from the wrath that was soon to meet them everywhere they went. Forced to flee, they found themselves on boat after boat in a desperate attempt to flee far away from the rumours of a cursed newborn. <br><br>Epiphany grew up in a human village, raised by her mother and blissfully unaware of the alleged curse. After years of hard, honest and lawful work, her mother had put her life as an adventurer on the shelf to care for her child. She managed to secure a place as an innkeeper despite the many distrusting eyes and whisperers – but it came with a price. No human dared set foot in a tavern run by a Tiefling, and so it quickly became a haven for the outcasts of society; a den filled with gambling, illegal trades and criminals drinking and brawling. Despite having her dreams crushed, the single mother was forced to keep the tavern going for the future of her child; she knew that a life in poverty would only thrust Epiphany into the arms of evil.<br><br>Determined to see her offspring rise above the unfortunate fate she had been given, the Tiefling mother let her daughter experience the criminal acts that took place at nearly every table, hoping it would create the same disgust that she herself had developed long ago. Her wish came true, as it was not the unlawful business of the tavern that caught her daughter’s attention, but rather the entertainers filling the room with joy and life, night after night. Her love for music and poetry grew stronger for each day passing, and from the moment she could work, she would help her mother around the tavern until she had saved up for a lyre; an instrument that would soon become her very best friend. Travelling bards would teach her other instruments, and in time she would learn to master not only the lyre, but also the lute and viol. Epiphany became her mother’s pride and joy, seeing how her daughter had stayed on the righteous path in life…<br><br>… But the tavern life wasn’t enough for the red haired Tiefling. Although being rather lithe and thus unable to defend herself through physical strength, the kind-looking female with crimson skin and eyes possessing a golden tint had decided on becoming a travelling bard, performing for adventurers on the road despite knowing she’d be met with suspicion and rejection – but with a bubbly personality and endless optimism, she had convinced herself that she would take the world by storm.<br></div></div>

				Looks like Silk is getting close to finish line. Another wonderful chara ;D Quite an "earthly" party with a dwarf, "dwarf", and a gnome. We'll start likely tomorrow or Thursday (when I prep for my RL session). <br><br>e. Oh, sweet, Silky posted her already. I think tomorrow should be good to go then :-) (or technically today since I should be asleep like 3 hours ago lol)

Is that you're free to do pretty much whatever the heck you want. Only things I'd like to see is that you try to make sure your character interacts with other characters so we can grow some interesting party dynamics ;) If you want to have some interesting character arcs and need certain nudges from NPCs or plot to achieve them, don't hesitate to boop me and I'll help see that it happens.<br><br>I'll be throwing stuff regarding your characters' backgrounds in here and there, but there will be also events and things that happen whether or not your characters get involved in them.

				Usually I'd be asking OOC right now "Alright, do you guys want to move to the docks then?" or "Alright, you wanna look for a priest?" so I guess I'll ask now as well ;D Let me know and I can cut you to a new scene. Though if you guys wanna banter the problem IC more that's alright too! Splitting up is also an option.

				Woo! I'm up for pretty much whatever. I was thinking splitting up and then meeting back up in the same place in the evening (or earlier, depending) to share/compare notes would be a good idea. :3

				Feel free to post some of the planning in the IC. I can then whisk your chara (and those following her) to whichever location you want or closest equivalent.
