Baldwin the Merciful's: Razor Coast (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

The Razor Coast has drawn men to madness and slaughter since the world was young. Tulita natives, born from the same fire as this jagged coast, claim the Razor existed long before the world’s other lands. It is a crucible of flame cooled by the ocean’s caress and its mountains, reefs, and lightless depths teem with as many terrors as lustrous spoils. The Razor bucks the trappings of civilization in much the same manner the storm-tossed sea spurns the men who dare mount her. This is no place for the weak-willed. Untested souls are food for its storms, its fickle gods, its ancient spirits, and the evil predations of unfathomable creatures. No less dangerous are the men who make the coast their home and whose dark desires put most horrors to shame.

Long Dong Dondrel can keep his wanky to himself for now.

He is completely filthy, likely insane and just ate the ass end off of a rat.

Not the traits I usually look for in potential bedmates.

With little else to do I thought I’d try to come up with some attempts at Theme Songs for the rest of the gang since me and Sath kicked a few around earlier. I also tossed out one for the GM and one for Astrianna the other day, too, but I figured I’d try to come up with one for everyone just for fun.

I'm not sure if you all will agree with how well the songs will suit people’s characters, but a good “Theme Song” sometimes helps me to envision the characters personality more. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy them :)

Okay, so this one I picked for Darius because although it’s a bit gritty/tough it’s also a fun song and that seems kind of the type of person I think he's going for with Darius. Truth to tell the video also sold me; despite the "Title" it's kind of a mash-up, the main character's quotes in the video just seem so spot on for the concept for some reason, too ;)

Possible Darius song

This song is just instrumental, but it seems in keeping with Adriel; but I think that's mainly because the guy in the video just seems to be pretty much what I think of when I think of Adriel so far; plus, based on his character build, I imagine that this clip is something his character might end up doing at some point...

Song for Adriel

Embrianna was probably the hardest because I know so little about her character yet. But from what I’ve seen the song and the video seem to work pretty well. As an added bonus I saw the guys in the video perform live at the 9:30 club in DC a few years ago. They were awesome!

Possible Embrianna song

Like I said, they’re not perfect, but I don’t have much to do at this point so I thought it would be fun to see if I could find some music that fits.


M Elf Hexcrafter 5 (AC18/12/16), 51/51HP, F7/R4/W7+9vs enchantment, Per+10/ +2Thrasher, Init+4

Not a bad clip for Adriel.

Hmmm, totally not the style of music I would have chosen for Bri.

Damn!

Well, I took a hunch with the song mainly because of the lyrics and the style of the musician and not necessarily the actual style of the music; but to be honest, I don't really know much about Embrianna, though I'd like to know more.

What I have so far in my notes is that she's friendly, relatively gentle and not into combat much, somewhat soft-spoken; that she's very attractive, somewhat flirty/sultry, and generally quieter than many of the other people (though I may be off-base on that last one).

I have a few other notes about her, but I'd like to know more. If you're interested in doing some ret-con social RP while we were "on the ship" on the way to this "possessed ship" we did have about 3 days of sailing to try some. If so, I'll toss up some spoilers to her sometime later today when I get back from work. The few times that David talked to her, he was really intrigued by her, but we haven't had much in-game time for interaction.

Sadly I need to go to work now, but I'll give it a try later tonight :)


Male Human Bard: Arch/Ranger: Trap/Free -- Fort +6 Ref +10 Will +5 Ini +4 Per +11, AC: 20 HP: 56: 56 Uncanny Dodge

Just so everyone knows - I'm totally open to social RP with anyone else, too. So far I feel like I'm getting a pretty good bead on how some of your characters would "feel" in the game, but the more I learn the better I'll be able to interact with your character and (hopefully) the more fun the interaction will be in the game.

See you all tonight.

For those who don't know, I work fly in, fly out of an Iron Ore mine. 1 week on, 1 week off. Alternating between days and nights. I can post but not on shift unless I sneak my phone in and work takes a dim view of that. Hence I post 3-6 times a day within limited hours.

Heh, just had the mental imaged of Adriel literally flying in and out of a huge mine shaft in a small plane.

Dirk - Bri is kinda needy and seeks out lots of positive attention, even if it is based solely off her appearance. She has been avoiding the sparring stuff because of some abuse in her background. She just doesn't want to get beat on for fun.


M Elf Hexcrafter 5 (AC18/12/16), 51/51HP, F7/R4/W7+9vs enchantment, Per+10/ +2Thrasher, Init+4

Wtf!

Adriel has been giving her a ton of positive attention.
Is she like a 'mean girl' cheerleader type?
If he tells her she looks fat she will want him?

Adriel - Bri has seen you give plenty of positive attention to Astri as well and you certainly seem the type to give that sort of attention to any female that you happen to be with. She has to be sure of what your intentions are before she engages you in any kind of romantic or sexual relations.

And besides, are saying a girl should just jump at a guy she's only known for a week or so because he says a few nice things to her? Some girls move a little slower than that.

If that were the case, I'd be doing the naked crazy guy next....

I figure that Embri has had plenty of experience with sailors who will say anything to get a girl into their bunk. Unless she is actually in the mood for a random tumble, she's learned to be a bit more cautious about a man spouting pretty words. She can be a bit cynical about that sort of thing and knows how quickly they can turn on you when things aren't going well.

Good to know!

I've tried to RP a lot of theories I've had about her so far, but I'm not sure how well that came across "in-game". But I am curious to know what you thought of the theories, though.

Here's a bit of psychology on Astrianna.

Astrianna's Personality Traits:

Astrianna's psychology is based off the following personality traits:

  • Desire for attention, recognition, and acceptance
  • Sensitive to negative remarks about her appearance
  • Feeling she has something to prove
  • Dislike of routine and fear of captivity in any form
  • Love of calculated risk and excitement

Reasons for these traits:

Not necessarily in chronological order.

Desire for attention, recognition, and acceptance

Astrianna is the bastard child of an unknown elven father and the daughter of a low-ranking Taldan aristocrat. She was treated as a discovered orphan to avoid scandal, and while she was treated well she was not a true part of the family. She experienced emotional and physical mistreatment from other Taldan girls her age during schooling due to her elven features and supposed adoption. The girl was never part of any group and was only friends with the other outcasts.

Later in her life Astrianna was sent to the Rhapsodic College to become a singer and actor based on her charms, appearance, and voice. Through acting and illusions, she could become anyone, and excelled. Despite her prodigal singing and acting she was never credited on stage, for her grandfather did not wish a spotlight to cast shadows on her past.

Sensitive to negative remarks about her appearance

Taldan girls learn brutal quips from their mothers simply by attending parties and being involved in their social interactions. These were used on Astrianna starting at a young age, and she was constantly ridiculed for her elven features. Close inspection can reveal a scar on her right ear where, driven by depression, she attempted to sculpt it into a human ear with a knife. The pain was too great, and the blood too shocking. She never attempted any self-harm after this point.

Feeling she has something to prove

The half-elf was moved to train with boys instead after she knocked a bully's teeth out. She had to constantly prove herself to them due to her gender and slight frame, often going to great or dangerous lengths to do so. The pretty girl found some supporters of course, and she began to learn the powers of manipulation and coercing men.

In addition, her grandfather only acknowledged her when she was misbehaving or in danger of bringing shame on the family. She felt a burning desire for his approval while simultaneously hating the man. Astrianna felt that his approval would justify her existence, but she never received it. He never truly accepted her as a member of the family.

Dislike of routine and fear of captivity in any form

Throughout her adolescence Astrianna was kept on a tight leash by her grandfather, which was released only when she moved to the Rhapsodic College dormitories.

During a wild night out with her thespian friends, the group was caught by a press-gang that sold slaves to galleys or nobles. A family friend, Marco Atanas, spotted her as she was being sold off, purchasing her as she pleaded for someone to save her on the block. He returned her to the Sparacello estate, and in return for the price he paid ripped up the contract that bound her to him.

Astrianna was still a slave, this time to her grandfather. He put her under house arrest for the rest of her life, convinced she was going to bring ruin to the family if allowed to be free. The only escape the woman had was books, for the only good trait her grandfather had was a love of learning about the world. Four years of constantly reading books about the planet, and the few copies of the Pathfinder Chronicles she possessed made her yearn for the outside world and adventure.

Love of calculated chance and excitement

Escaping on the night of her grandfather's funeral, she found Marco and started her adventures aboard the smuggling ship Impulsive. Gambling, drinking, and living on the edge of the law are some of the most thrilling times she has experienced. Adrenaline became her drug. Her one true love in life, adventure, was realized.

Astrianna's 18 charisma elaborated:

Astrianna has a knack for understanding what people want to hear and see, and fully exploits it. Her acting skills allow her to appear as part of any group, and she will often change her mannerisms and dialect to appear as a local. The woman can flatter and coerce almost anyone into liking her and subsequently seeing how doing things her way is a good idea for them, typically not revealing how much it benefits her. Astrianna's stunning, regal beauty makes this a simple matter of flirting with men until she gets what she wants- it's the women she typically has to strategize for.

In conversation Astrianna will focus conversation on the individual she is with, and reveal little about herself. Instead, she will gather every bit of information she can about a person and they will be left with little knowledge about herself when finished. Her broad knowledge allows her to approach and talk to almost anyone, meeting them on some level or determining what problems they have in life so she can offer advice.

She often asks others to do small favors for her out of a combination of shirking menial labor and knowing that people you owe small favors to tend to hold you in higher regard due to believing you owe them something.

The half-elf has few real friends that she can confide in, but she is loyal to them and will defend them from harm or scandal. With the exception of friends, most of her goodly acts are performed simply to get others to like her more, or with the expectation an award will follow. Otherwise, the woman will seek the quickest way to maximum prestige and profits.

A traditional view of female Taldans is that men are useful and expendable- when one man starts to become boring or begins to expect things from you, it's time to find another. While Astrianna loves the attention of men and their flirtations, she shares this view and will likely never be in a serious relationship or marry for fear of falling into a routine and cutting off her man options. She values herself as a strong woman and and typically only falls into short-term relationships with those who respect and appreciate her, until her fear of commitment inevitably ruins it. The occasional fling with someone exotic or exciting is an occasional indulgence, similar to sampling a new drink in a strange land. She has learned some of those people turn out to be a#*&+~$s.

Inspiration:

Astrianna is inspired by women such as Gwen Stefani (Singer of No Doubt), Alecia Moore (P!nk), and Katheryn Hudson (Katy Perry).

There is also a dash of one of my college friends. While not violent herself, she had an obsession with power and violence. She was particularly attracted to weapons such as guns for the power they give to an individual. When she woke up in the morning she could recall every dream she had the night before with perfect clarity, and there were usually around 6-10 of them. In every dream, she would either be killed or kill the thing trying to kill her, without exception, unless she was woke up in the middle of a dream. Needless to say she wasn't very fond of sleeping. She manifests in Astrianna's love of power and showing off that power to prove her worth. This can take the form of weapons, money, magic, possessions, or what she considered most important, connections.

Maybe. But I certainly hold no offense if a woman has a high sexual appetite and sleeps with a guy on the first date. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

In fact that's how my wife and I met 13 (and 3 wonderful kids) years ago.
We were both up for a one night stand that was awesome. I called her back and what do you know we actually LIKED each others personality.

See. It does work out sometimes.

I realize that it does work out sometimes.

Though you should probably know that you are trying to have a discussion with someone who has a fairly low opinion of most men. My first few relationships seemed to just be interested in sex and then my first long term relationship with someone who seemed to get me turned out to be a manipulative and abusive a&!@&++.

That should help explain a few things.

It's 9:20am here. Hello from the other side of the planet! We have your sun, and we want 100 million Australian dollars if you ever want to see it again.

On a serious note, how long have you been a miner? I'm also curious what your opinion on the Australian mining boom is, its sustainability and what kind of impact you think it will have on Australia as a whole.

Backstory:

I lived in Southern Illinois for most of my life, and grew up after all the coal mines in the area shut down. Most of the still living retired folk were coal miners and I saw the pictures of how big the towns used to be and how much money the average miner Joe had to throw around. When the last of the mines shut down, everything else was already limping along and the southern half of the state is economically dead with the exception of corn and soybeans. We have terrible soil, sadly.

On a side note Illinois also has terrible coal- it's 90% lignite or sub-bituminous, and my grandfather had one or two pieces of anthracite because when the miners found some it was similar to drilling into diamonds and they'd keep a piece as a souvenir. Trying to burn cleaner coal killed the mines in the area, and it never ceases to baffle me how the old timers and miners who lost their jobs complain about shutting the mines down because people want clean coal, when they themselves are affected by the burning of dirty coal. I suppose it isn't too hard to understand on a fundamental level- people love their children and will ignore the greater good to provide for them.


M Elf Hexcrafter 5 (AC18/12/16), 51/51HP, F7/R4/W7+9vs enchantment, Per+10/ +2Thrasher, Init+4

I should already be asleep.

Quick reply.
I started in mining 7 years ago.
Gold first, then Nickel, nnowIron Ore. I work for Fortesque, 3rd largest producer in the world.

As for the small towns, they mostly died in the late 90's. I grew up in one before joining the army. The one's that DO survive price themselves out of tenets because local owners charge 2000+ dollars a week for crap rentals, figuring rich miners can pay for it.
Consequently most of us live in the city since there are more facilities and rent is cheaper. Fly in and out is at the companies expense.
As for environmental impacts I don't feel we do enough to rehabilitate areas, but no one really cares since Australia is the most arid country in the world and 95% of us live within 10km of the coast.

We have a big coal industry here, but I have never worked in coal so unsure of our quality. I do know the boon will continue of sorts as coal drops we have a Company CHEVRON starting up the 2 largest LNG mines ever in the world here as well. LNG is the future it seems and we (are told) we have enough to become the next Saudi Arabia.

West Virginia girl here, so you know I've been around coal mines. My grandma used to work at the company store back when she was young and they still paid their workers in "company script" rather than actual money. I forget who still has her collection of script.

If you wanna watch a good movie about the unionization of the coal miners in WV, watch "Matewan". Actually has some good actors in it, including James Earl Jones.

Cool Adriel thanks for the reply! I agree that liquid natural gas is going to be a prime energy source to come, but I don't know much more about it than that.

Ah West Virgina, filled with the finest coal in the world- anthracite. That's neat that your grandma worked during that time, even though the company script garbage was a giant rip-off. My grandfather was a roof-bolter for pretty much his entire post-army life in coal mines all over Illinois.

Coober Pedy just became a new place I'd like to live for a while.

I know, doesn't it just look awesome?

And one guy had a story of finding this huge ass opal while he was just digging out a new set of stairs for his home. Imagine getting such a payoff for just a little bit of home-improvement. :)

I've seen that underground community before; it's really pretty.

Meanwhile, WEST Virginia?

Well, damn... we're practically neighbors :)

Pick a topic and I shall talk!

I'm conducting a literature review and working on a publication so I'll be sitting here on the computer most of the day.

What kind of literature are you reviewing?

Polyol metabolism in filamentous fungi, basically. I'm looking for sources to cite. Specifically I'm looking for a review paper on the pentose phosphate pathway in said fungi that I found last year which for some reason I didn't save. I'm beginning to think I imagined it.

I'm a biochemist, by the way. Perusing a Master's degree in Chemistry at the moment.

Ah, most of the literature I read involve something supernatural in nature. :)

Ghosts, were-creatures, shifters, witches, wizards, vampires and demons. Most of the books I read have at least one if not all of those things. :)
