				<em>"In the land of the pigs, the butcher is king."</em><br>(http://i.imgur.com/VSZmHWn.png)<br>&nbsp;<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Story Details</strong></span><br>In this story, players will take the role of assassins belonging to a group known as the Choir of Swords.&nbsp; <br><br>The Choir is powerful and its reach is widespread, such that they are the de facto rulers of their home city-state. While they take on many contracts for assassination across the world, the guild’s masters are also interest in assassinating certain people for their own ideals and purposes.<br><br>The action of this game will focus around the guild’s headquarters, with adventures and excursions into the surrounding territories. <br><br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Style and Content</span></strong><br>I'm looking for a game that can have both serious roleplaying, but not get needlessly grimdark, gritty, or angst-burdened. However, while dark senses of humor are appreciated, I also don't want anything overly silly or stupid.<br><br>In many ways, this will be a semi-sandbox game, and will be only lightly GM’d. <br>I will be directly GMing the actual assassination missions your character may go on and similar excursions, as well as certain other storyline developments. <br><br>Apart from that, things will be a little bit more freeform, and you won’t have to check in with me when you’re just hanging out at the guild headquarters or the main city it is based in, unless it’s something important (interacting with an important NPC for instance). <br><br>Apart from the aforementioned events I will be presiding over directly, you will be free to do as you wish, provided it isn’t anything gamebreaking (i.e. don’t try some zany scheme to farm gold off game mechanics, summoning armies worth of minions,&nbsp; trying to get infinite wishes, whatever, in which case I will step in and glare at you…)<br><br>Hopefully this problem will alleviate certain issues, like party power balance and the possibility of different players having different paces or needing to leave the story for awhile. <br><br><strong>Re: Smut: </strong>This is not intended as a smut game, but you may feel free to sex things up as you please. Just don’t, like, do nothing but that, as if that happens I will start to lose interest (I’m wanting to run a Pathfinder game about some assassins killing dudes, getting involved in intrigue subplots, and a bit of erotica on the side, not attempting to direct an assassin-themed porno).<br>I, as GM, will not guarantee sex scenes or scenarios, so please don’t come to me, personally, with incessant requests for certain things along these lines.&nbsp; <br><br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Character Creation</strong></span><br>Yeah, you're gonna be badasses here. <br><br><strong>Level:</strong> 10<br><strong>Ability Scores: </strong>You will get a whopping 40 point buy. No lowering stats below 10. <br><strong> Hit Points: </strong>Max per die.<br><strong>Equipment:</strong>70,000 gp. You may craft your own items if able (please not when you do so). <br>There won’t be limitations at the start, however, you may be more limited in what equipment and magical items are available to buy later on.<br><strong>Skills: </strong>We will be using Background Skills [2 ranks per level, as usual] http://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/background-skills/ <br><strong>Alignment: </strong>We will not be using alignment for this. Spells like <em>protection from evil </em>will only work against extraplanar creatures with a subtype, or creatures that otherwise have a supernatural/cosmic connection to the alignment concept. <br><br>While you are playing assassins, your character should not be complete sociopaths, characters that worship evil, want to eat babies, steal souls, or otherwise engage in top-tier evil acts. Anyone attempting to play such a character might find they don’t have a lot of plot armor and you won’t be able to make a new one if it dies.<br><strong><br>Background: </strong>You have two options here. Either you were raised and trained by the guild (probably as an orphan), or gained a reputation as a skilled killer and were recruited in. At the start of the story, you will have just been granted the status of elite operative and gotten transferred to the group’s headquarters. <br><br><strong>Allowed Sources</strong><br>Most Paizo material will be allowed.<br>WOTC 3rd Ed. Material will mostly be allowed (though with possible fiddling to bring it in line with Pathfinder).<br>3rd Party Material – ask me first. Path of War for sure is fine.<br>No psionics (i.e. powers, manifesting, power points). However, I’d be fine adapting some things outside the psionics system (like Soulknives). <br>Unchained class options where relevant.<br>No Leadership for followers (cohorts okay)<br>Race options are negotiable as long as its humanoid. <br>If you want to tweak something (like an archetype) or otherwise bring in some kind of custom content, run it by me first, I’m pretty open to such and will likely be fine with it. <br><br>Some things might be inappropriate… check with me first and I will let you know.<br><br><br><br><br>

				<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Setting Information</strong></span><br>The setting for this will be a region called the Bluemarch, located in no particular campaign setting [so homebrew, I guess]. The guild operates semi-openly out of a front business, a large inn called the Thorn &amp; Talon in the region’s central settlement. The region is ringed by several loosely aligned city-states, which will provide a diverse range of environments to go adventuring in.<br><br>More details on this will follow when I get the OOC thread up.

He grew in orphanage under headmistress who disliked Balt just for being who he was; a tiefling bastard. On age of eight he ran off into streets and then lived in streets, stealing and scavenging to survive. He learned how break simple locks to break into houses to find food or valuables, he broke into a alchemist's lab.<br><br>However he was fascinated by all vials and chemicals in there....so he experimented with them until accidentally he created a loud explosion which woke up aged old alchemist check downstairs what's going on his lab. Balt was dazed from the blast and so was caught, but the old alchemist was symphatic for Balt and promised him food if he works as assistant and first task being clean the lab. Balt did as told and started live by the old alchemist, learning his craft and arts and learning about science of alchemy. He fell in love to all explosions and various destruction forms what pure alchemy can do, however he never quite learned alchemist's art while his natural talent for arcane was discovered by through exposure to chemicals which react only in presence of spellcasters.<br><br>So old alchemist send him to a colleaque to learn arcane arts and Balt embraced his arcane studies.....only as means to create grander explosions and destruction! The old alchemist (who had become sort father figure to Balt) worked for some nobles and suddenly he was found murdered on his own house. Balt discovered what noble families were behind the entire affair....so he burned the families and their estates down with blaze of revenge! Balt continued arson entire noble district in the city and was caught in the act and he ran and hid in sewers....and there while in his sewer lair he was contacted by Cloister of Swords who were impressed with his knowlegde and talent with magic and overall causing destruction and mass murders.<br><br>Since then Balt had worked in the assassin guild and worked up the ranks, albeit he is not most subtle type of killers they have but his skills in arcane are unmatched from other agents and he is quite well capable countering most magical security to get to his target and is skilled in magical deceptions and countering magical divinations trying locate him or fellow guild members. But thanks his infamous deed he does not go out much, without wearing magical disguise or two.<br></div></div>

Despite looking human the grayish tone of her skin and the deep yellow of her eyes made her inheritance hard to ignore by those who resented those who had attacked the village so many times so she spent most of her time training on solitude on the mountains. She never thought the first undead she would ever face would be her own mother, the only person that cared for her, when the orcs attacked again this time with their shamans chief who wanted to create a small undead army to attack a bigger city.<br><br>She went after the orc-chief and was able to finish him off and the orcs were repelled but her zombie mother was destroyed by the villagers together with the other undead and in a sudden rage she killed the few survivors before she left everything behind, she had nothing now to look behind at except the burning remains of her home and the bloody corpses of orcs and humans, since then she usually preferred to be alone or in the company of undead which she usually treated as if they were living.<br><br>Never being completely alone as she learned ways to just reanimate more friends or helpers if needed Vulra never stopped moving and kept herself traveling, she didn't want to attract to many attention plus she never found a good reason to stay in just one place, but then something made her change her destination, she mostly travel though small settlements but as her psychic abilities increased she had learned some ways of foreseeing and that included her own future, something told her she had to travel to this big city state in the west and so she did posing as a traveler performer with a company of artists. Once there she received an invitation of The Choir of Swords. It seemed her skills had attracted their attention of the assassin's guild and following this good omen she accepted to work for them as an hired killer, spy, informant and in whatever minor tasks her undead puppets could help.<br><br>STR 22, DEX 16, CON 16, INT 12, WIS 12 CHA 20<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Stat Block</div><div class="spoiler_body">HP=88<br>AC 26 (7armor+3dex+2luck+1natural+1deflection+2shield)&nbsp; &nbsp;touch 16, flat footed 23<br>CMB: +12 (7bab+6str-1acp)<br>CMD: 25 (10+7bab+6str-1acp+2luck+1deflection)<br><br>BAB +7/+2<br>Falchion attack: +13<br>Damage: 2d4+9/15-20x2+2d4; with Power Attack and Painful Stare 2d4+25/15-20x2 +2d4+4d6<br><br>Fort 8: +3+3+2<br>Ref 12:+7+3+2<br>Will 15: +7+1+2(+5)<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Feats and Skills</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Feats</strong><br>Power Attack<br>Furious Focus<br>Craft Woundrous Items<br>Intense Pain<br>Vital Strike<br><br><strong>Skills</strong><br>Appraise BG&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8r+3cs+1int+2item=+14<br>Bluff&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10ranks+3cs+5cha+1trait+2item=+21<br>Diplomacy&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10ranks+3cs+5cha+2racial+1trait+2+5item=+28<br>Disguise&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2ranks+3cs+5cha+2item=+12<br>Intimidate&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1ranks+3cs+5cha+2item=+11<br>Perception&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10ranks+3cs+1wis+2+5item=+21<br>Perform (dance) BG&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1ranks+3cs+5cha+2item=+11<br>Perform (string) BG&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1ranks+3cs+5cha+2item=+11<br>Sense Motive&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10ranks+3cs+1wis+2+4item=+20<br>Spellcraft&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10ranks+3cs+1int+2item=+16<br>Linguistics BG&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10ranks+3cs+1int+2+5item=+21<br>Stealth&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7ranks+3cs+2dex+2+5item-1armor=+18<br>Use Magic Device&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10ranks+3cs+5cha+2item=+20<br><br><strong>Occult Skills</strong><br>Psychometry+14: 1/day DC15 (1minute)<br>Hypnotism+28: Suggestion 1/day DC 20+will save (1minute)<br>Read Aura+21: 1/day DC20+HD (10minutes)<br>Prognostication+20: Augury 1/day DC 25+HD (10minutes)<br>Automatic Writing+21: Divination 1/week DC30 (1hour)<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Traits and Features</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Racial Traits</strong><br>ability score increase: +2str<br>burning assurance: +2 diplomacy<br>sacred tattoo: +1 luck bonus to all saves<br>weapon familiarity: proficient with greataxes, falchions and treat orc weapons as martial<br>darkvision 60'<br>orc: blood&nbsp; &nbsp;count as human and orc<br>Favored class bonus: +1/2 level to painful stare damage<br><br><strong>Class Features</strong><br><strong>Hypnotic stare:</strong> swift action -3 to will<br><strong>Mesmerist Tricks:</strong> 10 per day, DC20: Chain of Eyes, Fearsome Guise, Linked Reaction, Mesmeric Mirror, Spectral Smoke.<br><strong>Painful Stare:</strong> once per round add +10+4d6 damage to one attack you make or +12 damage to one attack of an ally.<br><strong>Undead Inception:</strong> can use her mind affecting spells and abilities on undead with no chance of failure without the need of using her hypnotic stare first.<br><strong>Towering Ego:</strong> add you charisma to will saves, lose bonus when can't provide the emotional component of her spells.<br><strong>Bold Stare:</strong> Psychic Inception, Sapped Magic<br><strong>Continued Animation:</strong> when a humanoid target of her hypnotic stare dies, as an immediate action can animate the corpse as if using dominate person for a half her level rounds.

				I'm not really sure where my character falls in regards to "Management" like The Lady, or more like someone like the Cleaners, Outfitters, or other parts of the Killer's World that we see in John Wick.&nbsp; I suspect that crafters would lean towards the Outfitters, but who would be the Switchboard Operators?&nbsp; Cleaners might be those with magic to dispose of or incinerate bodies?&nbsp; One of the things I loved from AEG's Seventh Sea (Swashbuckling!) D20 games was the Assassin prestige class had a special ability to make a body truly disappear so it could never be found, scried, or raised.

				I assume Switchboard Operators stand for between team communications or overall people who manipulate communication of targets or overall contact and operate killers (not seen movies so sorry for mistakes done). I imagine arcanists could do so with rary's telepathic bond spell, sending spells and such. In regards blocking communication; also it's arcanist job as they can place ward spell in area block all means magical communication/warnings.

Those who learn that Kie(pronounced so it rhymes with sky) has celestial ancestry are never very surprised.&nbsp; She looks the way one would expect an angel to look, and her manner of dress only reinforces that vision.&nbsp; Her long, thick, shiny golden-blonde hair seems to always find the light in a manner which makes it almost glow like a halo around her beautiful, elegantly-structured face.&nbsp; Large, fathomless eyes the color of a clear summer sky gaze out over high cheekbones, through lush, gilded lashes long enough to tickle her architectural brows.&nbsp; Her skin is milk and honey with a faint dusting of gold, every inch perfectly flawless and silky soft.&nbsp; She wears a floor-length white dress with pale blue trim that matches her eyes and a matching shawl.&nbsp; Her hair is usually braided at her crown and hidden beneath a white wimple-style hat.&nbsp; She wears simple blue slippers, and, in general, appears to be a modest, devout priestess of some faith devoted to chastity and poverty.<br><br>However, that is merely the face Kie presents to the public...a role she plays for her own amusement and benefit.&nbsp; Beneath her gown, her body is a lush wonderland of delights for the senses.&nbsp; She bathes everyday in perfumed waters infused with essential oils and herbs, designed to keep her skin as soft, supple and sweetly-scented as possible.&nbsp; Her figure is the very definition of the feminine ideal, with full, heavy breasts that seem to defy gravity with up-swept peaks the color of pink rosebuds.&nbsp; Her slender waist flares out into full hips supporting a plump, firm ass that flexes and jiggles with each move of her thick thighs and comely calves.&nbsp; She has the face of an angel, but her body was made for sinning and she does so...prodigiously and creatively.<br><br>Kie has a holy symbol of her deity tattooed on the back of each of her hands, and they are covered by a pair of white gloves when she is in her holy vestments.&nbsp; On the back of her right hand is a pair of lush, red lips with a black, forked tongue protruding from between them and on the left are a pair of wings formed out of serpent tails.&nbsp; On her back she has a delicate, intricate tattoo that extends from between her shoulders (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2a/71/f6/2a71f662178007e9135c7ec004c74d9a.jpg) to her lower back (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/eb/39/50/eb3950a95ee7817e07d2eda379be6171.jpg).<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>:&nbsp; Kie is down to have a good time, in every meaning of the word.&nbsp; She loves to get her hands dirty, whether it be with the blood of her enemies or that of her compatriots as she mends their wounds.&nbsp; While she likes dressing up, and dressing down, she would never be accused of being prissy, but a large part of that is a result of her unadulterated and unapologetic lust for life.&nbsp; She craves new experiences or old experiences, all experiences are equally intriguing in her estimation, whether it be a delicious meal, bottle of wine and wild fuck or a whack across the head and a good, old-fashioned robbing.&nbsp; While one is certainly more <em>pleasant</em>, both have their merits and provide one with new sensations and stories to tell.<br><br>Kie hasn't had much in the way of book-learning, but she makes up for that with practical wisdom and an over-abundance of...charm.&nbsp; She's sharp-witted and has a silver tongue, which means she can talk her way out of most situations, and if that doesn't work, she's not above using her feminine wiles.&nbsp; She was gifted with a pretty face and bangin' physique, and she will put either or both to good use if necessary.&nbsp; Or if she's just too lazy to try doing things the harder way.&nbsp; She's acutely aware of her own short-comings, and never faults others for passing her over when it comes time to do some deductive reasoning.&nbsp; Still, anyone who gets to thinking she's stupid will find themselves surprised when she reads someone within moments of meeting them, or provides a keen insight on a situation that others might have missed.<br><br><strong>History</strong>:&nbsp; Kie was born to a pair of simple peasants in a nothing village on the outskirts of a region no one ever gave a damn about.&nbsp; It's not her origins that matter, for she never knew her birth parents or where she came from.&nbsp; The tales of her birth and unusual beauty reached the ears of the dark priestesses of Ardad Lili, who visited her home and took her from her parents, leaving behind a small sack of gold as payment.&nbsp; She was taken for her celestial origins, as the priestesses were always on the look out for the birth of the celestial-kin females that they might raise them in the image of their wicked goddess.<br><br>Kie grew up in the temple, traditional lessons forsaken for those which would make her a creature of perfect persuasion, allure, and, once she reached the proper age, seduction.&nbsp; She engaged in both practical and theoretical lessons on the subjects of carnal pleasures, conversation, deception and magic.&nbsp; All teachings combined and melded with the tenets of her faith, until one could never separate anything from the tangle and each concept grew organically from each other concept.&nbsp; And it all served as worship to Ardad Lili.<br><br>Eventually, it was time for Kie's lessons to be put to practical use, and she began to venture from the temple to lure the right people into traps.&nbsp; Sometimes she seduced those who purported to piety into wicked acts that broke their faith and added new followers to Ardad's congregation.&nbsp; Sometimes her task was more final, and she used her charm and beauty to place her victim in a vulnerable state before ending their life.&nbsp; She took no pleasure from killing, but neither did it disgust her as it did others.&nbsp; All life came to an end, it made very little difference whether she was the one bringing about the end, or not.&nbsp; Every death served to benefit the living, and the dead didn't care if they were dead, after all.<br><br>Despite the fact that she was clever with her kills, and could never be directly blamed for the deaths that seemed to follow her, she became well-known in certain circles for her skills.&nbsp; This renown, or infamy, came to the awareness of the Choir of Swords, who invited her to join.&nbsp; She's been a part of the guild for a few years now, working for both them and her faith, when the priestesses of Ardad Lili call upon her.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Sexuality</strong>:&nbsp; Kie is as pansexual as they come.&nbsp; She very much follows in the 9" stripper heels of her deity.

Originally a bounty hunter when she left the less populated areas that her race live in and arrived in the city, her skill at tracking and taking marks translated into the Choir of Swords inviting her to join the organization.
