What I'm thinking at present is a Half-Orc Alchemist (Vivisectionist) that will multi-class into Barbarian. Reasonably bestial in appearance, but when he takes his mutagen and/or rages his human traits become dominant... sort of a Dr Hyde and Mr Jekyll situation.
Gah - let the idea swirl around for the day and unfortunately the more I thought on it the more it faded away. Rather than pitch a half-arsed concept I'll withdraw and wish the best of luck to the many fine folk in the running.

Only four slots left before I close recruitment. This is going to be a hard choice, some extremely nice characters on offer.

Yeah the horror aspect and adult content of his AP really appeals to me. Its the one I've wanted to play most for a while now, even including the newer ones like shattered star.
There are some good submissions here so the DM has a tough decision to make but having too many good characters is a nice problem to have!
Rance! |
I delectable your decision this character is not for everyone. I will state that he not evil nor a rapeist. As stated in his background he finds rape detestible. He is intended to be an adventurer who is not motivated by gold or honor but instead obssessed with rescuing damsels in distress.
He is rped as the first to volunteer when the king offers his daughters hand in marriage to the hero that will slay the dragon. Not a rapeist a man who will do anything for "love".
Buron Windsted |
Presenting Buron Windsted for consideration.
I deliberately did not pick adventuring gear, as he is not the type to consider going on an adventure. Though he by know means is a coward, hench the daredevil. However with the death of a close friend and his mentor should something come up in the first encounter to change his mind he will purchase stuff and strike out. I believe you would call this character development.
Also if picked I plan on taking levels in Cleric, his favored class. Bard reflects more of an educational background.
Finally I picked Academy Graduate to suggest the last few years of his life spent studying under the Professor. Let me know if the feat selection is incorrect as I believe it is a specific feat to another AP.
Good luck to everyone. I am crossing fingers because this is tough.

Belle Mithix - Yeah it would, though we already have one player with a creative solution to that. Dantarian Almaeus.
Buron Windsted - You do realize that you wouldn't even be able to cast a single cleric spell right? You have an 8 wisdom ~_~*
Two more characters or approximately 32 hours until I close submissions.

I am still considering all the characters posted. But if it comes down to two characters who fill a similar role that I both really like, the person with more posts will get the spot. I simply want people who I know are more likely to stick with the game. It's really annoying recruiting players a week/month into the game and then trying to keep it from dying. I may go with six players if really really can't decide, but that would create more work for me, by having to up the difficulty of the encounters. So we'll see.
Anton Klasnic |
I totally get where you're coming from Jelani, having inconsistent posting or players pulling out is frustrating at best.
I'm gradually building up my post count but hopefully its mostly with quality posts rater than 200 "Lolz." I am in GMT and I'm guessing you are west coast? I can easily post several times per day though as I always need to have my phone with me.
Anyway, enough rambling on, is there anything else you need to know about this particular character?

Some of you are wondering why you aren't on the list. I will repeat myself from earlier in the thread. "If your character hasn't met my expectations and requirements in the original post, it was left off the list on purpose...I saw several characters who looked promising but didn't follow instructions, or who aren't yet complete. Submitting an incomplete or non-compliant character is a waste of your time, as they won't be considered until they are finished." That means, correct point buy, right level (1st), background, personality and appearance all in the alias.
One more slot before I close recruitment.
Buron Windsted |
I am just glad I decided to take a second look through the requirements for entry. I missed the 3-5 paragraphs for back story the first time through and mildly panicked, as I was thinking that I didn’t have enough information to put that much. Happy to have pushed through on that little mental block.
My favorite thing to run is undead. In my table top game people always looks twice at direct anti-undead spells, feats, and what not. It’s been discussed several times by totally different groups “Well you know we are going to fight scary undead things”
It makes me smile every time.
Buron may have gotten too comfortable in his life. He may be a scholar currently but in his chest beats the heart of a true adventurer. This would explain why he is set up as a passionately studious, but then you know a Daredevil.
I also changed his stats around to squeeze in some skill ranks to have more knowledge skills. Being a student and not having a smattering of ranks in various Knowledge skills isn't making to much sense to me. I could have gone just straight Bard and picked up the Bardic Knowledge but Daredevil just fits so well with Volstagg. I also swapped out Combat Expertise for the Scholar Feat.
My three skills for Academy Graduate are Diplomacy, Bluff, and Use Magical Device

A letter arrives. The envelope is emblazoned with a stylized M.
To My Lord,
I write this letter knowing that you will make the right decision in regards to appointing your new Prima Donna for your production. Your reputation is the reason I applied for the position and I expect that with your tutelage we will grab the attention of the masses.
With all Respect

You will be joined by Tibideau Maroon LeClerc a M Human Witch. I ended up going with more newbs. It came down to build strength and writing/creativity in the end. Mostly writing/creativity. Hopefully I won't be disappointed. Sorry to those of you who didn't make it, wish I could have taken everyone. If replacements are ever needed I may PM some of you.
Those selected please head over to the discussion thread.
