I am recruiting once again!

Samples of games I DM:
PF Shackled City SCAP, 3,900+ posts, started Sept 2010
Ashardaldon Series - Unoptimized KK, 2,500+posts, started June 2011

For whatever reason I have decided that I need to try Kingmaker through play-by-post.

I have book 1 and 2; Stolen Land and Rivers Run Red. I have the other pdfs listed in my wishlist. I am not promising to run the AP beyond the pdfs I have.

I have a lot of information listed in my profile, including DM style and other relevant information. I strongly suggest you give it a read through before applying.

Let’s say 20 point buy, two traits, one must be a campaign trait. (no rich parents trait).

Max gold to start.

I tend to like core classes and races, But remember I will not be voting ; )

I am not going to determine who will be included in this game, the applicants will each vote on who they want to game with. The voting will be via private message to me.
There are 5 slots, each applicant to the recruitment thread gets 2 votes. Please try to refrain from voting for yourself! Also try to just offer up your single best character/concept.

A concept is sufficient to apply, though if accepted your full character must be ready by the game kick-off. I will list a couple of alternates in the post that shows who came close to getting the votes.

This thread will be open until Friday. Voting will occur when this thread closes. If you vote prior to all the submissions I will delete your Private message, without counting your votes.

Game kick off should be the following Monday.
Any questions?

What is the square root of pi?


I'm going to offer my Human Cavalier from a previously failed KM PbP. I know it's not core, but he's one of my favorites.

A large, haggard man sits alone at a table, an empty flagon in hand. His face is brutally scarred from combat. With each new patron that enters, he looks up, as if waiting for someone. Each new patron is a dissapointment to him, causing him to grumble and return his eyes to a charter spread out before him..


I'm in. I'll have a character ready sometime tonight.


I wish to adventure alongside this (soon to be) mighty band!

I propose, for your approval, Qirolli Treelurker, Neutral Good gnomish ranger, a traveling protector of nature and animals, wielding his trusty sickle.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Really interested. Have a social character in mind with lots of CHA, either a serpentine bloodline sorcerer or a ninja outfitted as kind of a scout and spymaster. A sylph listening to the "wind" or a kitsune could be good i think (although not core).I imagine them both more as different humans as described in PF. Would do with rogue as well if prefered. Will dwell on it over the course of the week.

I would be interested in putting up a rogue scout or ranger.


KenderKin, would we be allowed to submit more than one character? I have a half-orc Inquisitor and a kobold Sorcerer that were both made for a Kingmaker campaign.


You can but your peers will be voting on who gets in.

So you might split your votes....

I'm working on a couple different ideas for an Aldori swordlord. One fighter. One bard. I've been through about half of Stolen Lands with another character. Are you ok with someone that has played that far, but can keep player/character knowledge separate?


That's a good point. Certainly don't wanna be reducing my chances by submitting multiple characters. I hadn't considered that angle of it when asking the question. Decisions, decisions, then. Out of curiosity, Kender, which of those two characters sounds more like one you'd like to see?


@ML
I am fine with that and appreciate your honesty....
Could even be someone applying that has read the whole AP...how would we know?

@P0
Will be up to the votes. I will not be deciding

If people prefer they can just submit themselves and chose concepts after selection.....


I'm going to have to make a character tomorrow, I want to play through kingmaker before I run it.


Would like to join Kingmaker, profile is done, started with 150 GP and not 300 because of the Poor family Trait


Submitting Lem Bander, a LG halfling Underfoot Adept Monk who is also a newly appointed Field Agent in the Pathfinder Society. He's a disciplined but cheerful halfling ready to tumble, trip, scout, explore, and settle the Stolen Lands!

I have played in a RL Kingmaker campaign before, but I have no idea how much of it I played. (I'm fairly certain it was just the first 2 books, though). I joined in somewhere in the 1st book and the GM was moving so he rushed through (I think) to the end of the second book to give a (relatively) satisfactory end to the group. I'm eager for another go at the Stolen Lands!

Lem has the Fleet of Foot alternate race trait from the ARG, if that is alright with you, GM :) Boosts him up to 30 ft land speed at the cost of the usual racial bonuses to Acrobatics and Climb.

Backstory:
He's the eldest son of the Bander family, favored servants of a House Orlovsky noble--he and his family always loved the irony of serving a human family with the motto of "high above". The Bander family recognized that being underfoot can be an advantage and thus came to read "High Above" as an instruction to keep your enemy--rather than yourself--above you.

In his school days, Lem proved a disciplined but ultimately average student, hindered by a lack of talent in book knowledge, though his strength, speed, and intuition developed strongly. Though opposed to fighting just for the heck of it, Lem faced bullies, who made fun of him for being a halfling at an almost entirely human school. Lem became a decent fighter by learning to use his small size to tumble around opponents unharmed and bring them down by tripping them. He and his brother and sister met a Pathfinder, who gave a lecture at their academy, and all three were enthralled with the idea of joining the Society.

Once he'd come of age, he headed to Absalom to apply as a Pathfinder and receive monk training under a Pathfinder guru. He developed a unique style of fighting, focusing on tripping opponents or tumbling right around them, using light weapons in a flurry of well-aimed blows. His Confirmation mission involved exploring an ancient, ruined monastery in Brevoy and recovering ancient monastic texts.

Lem was given instruction by his venture-captain to join one of the groups the swordlords were chartering to explore and settle the Stolen Lands. Lem readily agreed, eager to settle in the lawless lands, bring order, and to hone his skills so that he can eventually found a monastery and Pathfinder lodge in the area.

Fearless (racial trait) +2 on saves vs. fear. Stacks with Halfling Luck
Fleet of Foot (racial trait) Have a base land speed of 30 feet.
Halfling Luck (racial trait) +1 to all saves
Keen Senses (racial trait) +2 to Perception checks
Noble Born (campaign trait) (House Orlovsky: "High Above": +1 trait bonus to choice of Acrobatics, Diplomacy or Stealth (chose Acrobatics) and to CMD.)
Honored Fist of the Society (combat trait) (+1 to ki pool)
Improved Unarmed Strike (bonus feat)
Improved Trip (bonus feat)
Weapon Finesse (1st level feat)
AC Bonus (class feature) When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds his Wisdom bonus (if any) to his AC and his CMD. In addition, a monk gains a +1 bonus to AC and CMD at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every four monk levels thereafter, up to a maximum of +5 at 20th level.
These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed. He loses these bonuses when he is immobilized or helpless, when he wears any armor, when he carries a shield, or when he carries a medium or heavy load.
Flurry of Blows (class feature) Starting at 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When doing so he may make one additional attack using any combination of unarmed strikes or attacks with a special monk weapon (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham) as if using the Two-Weapon Fighting feat (even if the monk does not meet the prerequisites for the feat). For the purpose of these attacks, the monk's base attack bonus from his monk class levels is equal to his monk level. For all other purposes, such as qualifying for a feat or a prestige class, the monk uses his normal base attack bonus.
At 8th level, the monk can make two additional attacks when he uses flurry of blows, as if using Improved Two-Weapon Fighting (even if the monk does not meet the prerequisites for the feat).
At 15th level, the monk can make three additional attacks using flurry of blows, as if using Greater Two-Weapon Fighting (even if the monk does not meet the prerequisites for the feat).
A monk applies his full Strength bonus to his damage rolls for all successful attacks made with flurry of blows, whether the attacks are made with an off-hand or with a weapon wielded in both hands. A monk may substitute disarm, sunder, and trip combat maneuvers for unarmed attacks as part of a flurry of blows. A monk cannot use any weapon other than an unarmed strike or a special monk weapon as part of a flurry of blows. A monk with natural weapons cannot use such weapons as part of a flurry of blows, nor can he make natural attacks in addition to his flurry of blows attacks.
Unarmed Strike (class feature) At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A monk's attacks may be with fist, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may make unarmed strikes with his hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A monk may thus apply his full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all his unarmed strikes.
Usually a monk's unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but he can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on his attack roll. He has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.
A monk's unarmed strike is treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
Underfoot Grace (archetype feature) At 1st level, an underfoot adept uses his size and grace to avoid the attacks of those he passes. When using theAcrobatics skill to avoid attacks of opportunity by moving through a threatened area or an enemy's space, he only takes a –5 penalty when doing so at full speed, instead of the normal –10 penalty.
Underfoot Trip (archetype feature) At 1st level, an underfoot adept learns a number of maneuvers and grabs that can cause even the largest opponents to stumble and fall. He gains Improved Trip as a bonus feat, even if he does not meet the requirements. At 4th level, and every four levels thereafter, he acts as if he is one size larger for the purposes of determining the maximum size of creatures he can trip and when determining his CMB and CMD for purposes of a trip combat maneuver.


I'm going to submit an advisor-type character, a Tien man who is a Monk of the Lotus. He is very pragmatic and believes in the redemption of criminals although only because they could become valuable members of society whereas simply executing them could be a waste of resources.

It will be interesting to play such a pragmatic character, if chosen.


I'll post my kobold sorcerer today sometime. May not be as strong as my inquisitor, since kobolds are a little on the weak side, but the character just seems like so much fun to play that I really want that opportunity.


Vaho, Draconic sorcerer at your service.

Backstory:
Vaho was chased out of his village in the eastern River Kingdoms because he is part dragon. He went to live with some brigands until he burned their camp down. He wondered into a trading post and heard of an exploration party and decided to join.

Tektik is kobold. Tektik from Longtooth kobold tribe. Tektik has had hard life. Life of kobold is hard already, but Tektik life harder than that! When Tektik is hatchling, he learn big people take advantage of kobolds. Think kobolds weak. Or at least...that what other kobolds say. All his life, clutchmates tell Tektik how big people bad. And Tektik believe them! Why not? Clutchmates not lie...they always tell Tektik truth. Tektik only kobold in Longtooth tribe that can use magics. Not big magics, though...only little magics. He think that why other kobolds act funny around him. Tektik not use magics much, 'cause he not wanting to be treated not-same.

Anyway...one day, Tektik out for walk. Tribe send Tektik out for walks a lot. But is ok, Tektik like to go out for walks. I walking around, then suddenly, ground fall right from under Tektik's feet! Then feel bad hurt in leg! At first he not know what happening, pain hurt so much. Then he notice that him in a hole in the ground and there is a sharp stick poking through leg! Well, Tektik know he in trouble. Can get stick out of leg, but cannot get out of hole with hurt leg. Tektik think..."This is it. Goodbye, cruel world!" But...then he hear someone above him, so he look...and there is big people! Human! Well, Tektik think again..."Goodbye, cruel world!" But is not goodbye, cruel world! Big human not like clutchmates say. Big human, he tell Tektik he sorry and try to get animal, not kobold! Tektik still very scared...human might lie! How Tektik know if he tell truth? I very worried at first, but then he give Tektik food and tell him if I stay night, he fix Tektik's leg! Tektik know he in trouble if leg not fixed. So...he stay. But he not talk to human! Human, though? Human talk lots. And lots and lots. Tell Tektik lots of things. Things that surprise Tektik! He start to think…maybe other kobolds wrong about big peoples. So…he start talking to human. Find out lots and lots of things about bad big people and not-bad big people. Then sleep...then next day, human uses magics to make Tektik's leg all better, just like human says!

Tektik go back to tribe, quick as can. Have to tell them about not-bad human! But...when he gets back to tribe's home, he find bad things! All tribe dead! All Tektik's clutchmates dead! He not know what happens to them. Tektik looks around to try and finds out what happens to them, sees many kobold footprints. Only kobold footprints. Tektik thinks to self, must be other tribe that kills them all! Tektik very sad. He know clutchmates not like Tektik much, but they still his family! Tektik know he cannot stay at old tribe home. He needs find out what happened to clutchmates, so must leave and find out.

Tektik never be by self before..not really...Tektik not know how dangerous world is! Tektik start finding good plants to eat and using tricks with his magics to get by. Makes big people hear things so can sneak in from other directions and take food. Need meat from somewhere! All time, look for what happened to clutchmates...but no have luck. But Tektik not give up! He has to find out truth! One day, Tektik hear big peoples talk about new place called 'Oleg's' where they get foods and things from! So Tektik decides maybe they be like first human and be nice to him, since theys been nice to others. Tektik hope maybe be someone who help find out what happened to clutchmates. So Tektik goes to Oleg-place now. He tired of living by self in woods and not knowing what happen to Longtooth tribe!


Presenting Asta Blackheart, a LN Winter Witch with big dreams. ;) Crunch and fluff completed, I only need to add the equipment.


Seems we have some interest in starting kingmaker.

Looks like 2 kobold sorcerers already.

I can not wait to see how many total applicants there are and how everyone votes!


I would love to play an Aasimar Bard, wondering minstral entertaining the masses with his mastery of the flute.

Yes. We do. :)

If you mean Vaho and Tektik - one of them is actually human. ^^


Ok, but I do not get a vote....

I am waiting to see what kind of party I end up with! ;0

Ninja'd by Asta before I even started the post! Yeah, I made Tektik to submit to a different Kingmaker recruitment, but he unfortunately didn't make it in. Primary inspiration was Deekin from the Neverwinter Nights series. Probably my favorite sidekick in a game ever!


Well, for what it's worth, Tektik has my vote. ^^


Draconic sorcerers seem popular in Kingmaker.


Alright, finished my equipment purchases. I shifted one rank from Use magic device to Craft (mapmaking); I figure we're going to need some good, up-to-date maps if we're going to found our own kingdom! ^^

The Exchange

Good Morning guys! I saw the recruitment post I am looking foward to submitting a character. Not quite sure what I will be writing up, but I know that I want to be apart of this AP! Best of luck to all and I look foward to reading each persons character.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

So im heavily interested in playing here.

After reading the kingmaker players guide, i would like to define the role i want to play. I would aim for the Charisma and Dexterity part of the leadership roles, royal assasin and spymaster, perhaps even ruler. For this i would take a rogue or ninja, as allowed, or a bard. For races i would consider halfling, kitsune or sylph because i think all could fit the theme very nicely and the lore also.


I'm going to throw my hat into the ring on this one as well. What do I intend to play? As core as you can get. Human Fighter, hailing from Restov but not involved with the Swordlords. While she highly respects them and their style, she never felt worthy to try to join their order, and instead worked as a mercenary guarding merchant caravans to the River Kingdoms until things became just too hostile for that line of work to continue.

I will post a full character sheet and backstory shortly.


Here is Hranos, a happy-go-lucky urban barbarian. He would fill the tank roll and would have little interest in taking on administrative tasks. If he is chosen he would dip into fighter for a few levels.


And here is the official Alias for my character (Thron). It will continue to get fleshed out over the next few hours/days.

DESCRIPTION
--------------------
Wulfgars was born in Trollheim , Land of Linnorm Kings.
His father was a Ulfen Noble,that belonged to the PFS , but his mother , was a refugee from Brevoy who came to Trollheim to escape political ploting in her home country.
One summer , when he was twenty, Wulfgars left his home, with his family, when his father asked them to met him in Absalom.
During the journey thou, the caravan was attacked by strange goblins ( in a place where goblins usually don´t dwell), and everyone, except him, was killed.
Using the skills learned with his kin in his homeland, he chased down the attackers and killed the one that murdered his mother. He know wears those same Dogslicers that killed her, and are his signature mark weapons.
In grief, he started drinking a lot, while getting jobs as a guard and soldier in caravans, until he arrived in Absalom.
There, he learned that his father hadn´t come here for some years now, although he truly was a Pathfinder Society Hero,but more than ten years ago.
Lost and confused, he continued drinking.
Then came the day when Cayden Cailean intervined, and he,during a hangover outside a Inn, saved a Venture-Captain of the Pathfinder Society. It was an old friend of his father, and that man, and the God Cayden Cailean, saved his life that day, because of that incident , he got into the PFS, learning to better fight with The Swords.
That was where he has been for the last two years, going in missions around Absalom, especially those of the Lantern Lodge, with whom his father´s friend belonged , and from whom he received his strange looking armor, and "living the good life" his God talks about.
Then came the day when he was called by another VC, to go on a mission in Brevoy, specifically in the town of Restov, where he was to receive further instructions ,this was strange because he never worked with that man before, but , nevertheless , he went dutifully.
He came into the PFS Lodge in Restov and waited ....

Wulfgars, is at the forefront of the batlle , and takes the lead in combat, doing a prayer of thanks to Cayden Cailean, and singing a Ulfen battle song while he rushes unto his enemies with his Dogslicers in hand, defending his comrades...

Me as a player:

I abide by the rules always, as i´m a GM myself (and Venture-Captain), i don´t like when someone upsets the game i´m running, and spoils mine, and everyones hard-earned "immersion", just to do something out of the rules. So why would i even consider not doing the same?! I also like to roleplay a lot, so PBP is ideal for this.
I also can post daily and at various times of the day.
I´m currently not playing any PBP game , so my commitment is total , and my schedule is free.


Since we'll need to be voting on characters, here's the list of everyone interested and their characters so far as I know.

DESCRIPTION
--------------------
Wulfgars was born in Trollheim , Land of Linnorm Kings.
His father was a Ulfen Noble,that belonged to the PFS , but his mother , was a refugee from Brevoy who came to Trollheim to escape political ploting in her home country.
One summer , when he was twenty, Wulfgars left his home, with his family, when his father asked them to met him in Absalom.
During the journey thou, the caravan was attacked by strange goblins ( in a place where goblins usually don´t dwell), and everyone, except him, was killed.
Using the skills learned with his kin in his homeland, he chased down the attackers and killed the one that murdered his mother. He know wears those same Dogslicers that killed her, and are his signature mark weapons.
In grief, he started drinking a lot, while getting jobs as a guard and soldier in caravans, until he arrived in Absalom.
There, he learned that his father hadn´t come here for some years now, although he truly was a Pathfinder Society Hero,but more than ten years ago.
Lost and confused, he continued drinking.
Then came the day when Cayden Cailean intervined, and he,during a hangover outside a Inn, saved a Venture-Captain of the Pathfinder Society. It was an old friend of his father, and that man, and the God Cayden Cailean, saved his life that day, because of that incident , he got into the PFS, learning to better fight with The Swords.
That was where he has been for the last two years, going in missions around Absalom, especially those of the Lantern Lodge, with whom his father´s friend belonged , and from whom he received his strange looking armor, and "living the good life" his God talks about.
Then came the day when he was called by another VC, to go on a mission in Brevoy, specifically in the town of Restov, where he was to receive further instructions ,this was strange because he never worked with that man before, but , nevertheless , he went dutifully.
He came into the PFS Lodge in Restov and waited ....
Wulfgars, is at the forefront of the batlle , and takes the lead in combat, doing a prayer of thanks to Cayden Cailean, and singing a Ulfen battle song while he rushes unto his enemies with his Dogslicers in hand, defending his comrades…

Tektik is kobold. Tektik from Longtooth kobold tribe. Tektik has had hard life. Life of kobold is hard already, but Tektik life harder than that! When Tektik is hatchling, he learn big people take advantage of kobolds. Think kobolds weak. Or at least...that what other kobolds say. All his life, clutchmates tell Tektik how big people bad. And Tektik believe them! Why not? Clutchmates not lie...they always tell Tektik truth. Tektik only kobold in Longtooth tribe that can use magics. Not big magics, though...only little magics. He think that why other kobolds act funny around him. Tektik not use magics much, 'cause he not wanting to be treated not-same.
Anyway...one day, Tektik out for walk. Tribe send Tektik out for walks a lot. But is ok, Tektik like to go out for walks. I walking around, then suddenly, ground fall right from under Tektik's feet! Then feel bad hurt in leg! At first he not know what happening, pain hurt so much. Then he notice that him in a hole in the ground and there is a sharp stick poking through leg! Well, Tektik know he in trouble. Can get stick out of leg, but cannot get out of hole with hurt leg. Tektik think..."This is it. Goodbye, cruel world!" But...then he hear someone above him, so he look...and there is big people! Human! Well, Tektik think again..."Goodbye, cruel world!" But is not goodbye, cruel world! Big human not like clutchmates say. Big human, he tell Tektik he sorry and try to get animal, not kobold! Tektik still very scared...human might lie! How Tektik know if he tell truth? I very worried at first, but then he give Tektik food and tell him if I stay night, he fix Tektik's leg! Tektik know he in trouble if leg not fixed. So...he stay. But he not talk to human! Human, though? Human talk lots. And lots and lots. Tell Tektik lots of things. Things that surprise Tektik! He start to think…maybe other kobolds wrong about big peoples. So…he start talking to human. Find out lots and lots of things about bad big people and not-bad big people. Then sleep...then next day, human uses magics to make Tektik's leg all better, just like human says!
Tektik go back to tribe, quick as can. Have to tell them about not-bad human! But...when he gets back to tribe's home, he find bad things! All tribe dead! All Tektik's clutchmates dead! He not know what happens to them. Tektik looks around to try and finds out what happens to them, sees many kobold footprints. Only kobold footprints. Tektik thinks to self, must be other tribe that kills them all! Tektik very sad. He know clutchmates not like Tektik much, but they still his family! Tektik know he cannot stay at old tribe home. He needs find out what happened to clutchmates, so must leave and find out.
Tektik never be by self before..not really...Tektik not know how dangerous world is! Tektik start finding good plants to eat and using tricks with his magics to get by. Makes big people hear things so can sneak in from other directions and take food. Need meat from somewhere! All time, look for what happened to clutchmates...but no have luck. But Tektik not give up! He has to find out truth! One day, Tektik hear big peoples talk about new place called 'Oleg's' where they get foods and things from! So Tektik decides maybe they be like first human and be nice to him, since theys been nice to others. Tektik hope maybe be someone who help find out what happened to clutchmates. So Tektik goes to Oleg-place now. He tired of living by self in woods and not knowing what happen to Longtooth tribe!

A really nice and convenient list.

This is great, thanks!


My background is posted, as well as some bare-bones statistics. Have tinkered with them some as the character really completely conceptualizes in my head, but will not deviate much from a "sword and board" style in relation to combat.

RP-wise, Valeria is a confident person, but can be a bit reserved around those she respects or admires. As far as the AP and it's leadership positions go, I don't have anything in particular in mind for her, as I find it far more interesting to let the RP decide that for her.

Also, that list is awesome. Well done, Lem.


Jakob "The Rock or Torag" Giesler, defender of the abused and shield for the oppressed.

For ease of reference

backstory:

Port Ice, on the southern bank of the Lake of Mists and Veils in northern Brevoy, is a refuge for ruffians and lake pirates. A place known for harsh winters and hard people. Jakob was born here in the slums near the docks where it seemed no one ever escaped. His father, George, was a broad shouldered strong fellow who sometimes worked at the docks. That is when someone was desperate enough in the need of help because Geroge's temper was well known and always got him into trouble. Too many times George fought just to see another man fall. When George wasn't working and fighting he was drinking and fighting, Drink didn't do George's temper any good it only fueled it to white hot, which spelled disaster for Jakob. George was abusive both physically and mentally and Jakob bared the scars to prove it so. Jakob took to spending more time on the streets and less time at home to escape his father's wrath. It finally became a full time occupation for the young lad.

Living a life on the streets wasn't what Jakob wanted but it was the only way he knew how to escape. Of course Jakob was running with the wrong crowd. They always seemed to find trouble no matter what stealing a little bread here running a few errands for the local riff-raff whatever it took to survive. At thirteen he was caught trying to steal food from a vendor in the market, the boy was never really good at being stealthy. The man who caught Jakob was not the vendor nor was he just an ordinary man. His name was Jasper and he was a cleric of Torag. The cleric did not turn him over to the authorities, but actually took him back to the temple and talked with and listened to Jakob. Jasper took the time to find out why Jakob was stealing and in the end Jasper offered Jakob an opportunity to live and work at the temple instead of living a life on the street. Why was Jasper doing this for Jakob when there were so many other children on the streets living the same life? Jasper always said is that Torag showed him the spark that was within Jakob.

Jakob eagerly jumped at the opportunity it gave him. It was a chance to escape not only his father but the streets as well and to him that was the only thing that mattered. At first Jakob simply helped clean around the temple, the ground, and fix meals for the clerics, priests, and monks that lived there, But Jasper found that spark of divine favor in Jakob and he watched it blossom. Soon Jakob was being taught the way of Torag in healing and battle. Jakob was a strong student in the art of war and defense. His healing arts were a little lacking but not bad and his wisdom grew seemingly on a daily basis. Torag's favor was definitely upon the boy.

The years passed and Jakob continued to learn and grow and finally ended up becoming a full cleric and a fine young man. A man who never forgot where he came from nor the god that pulled him from that life.

In the spring that Jakob was nineteen, Jasper told him that a journey awaited him that would help spread the faith of Torag and expand his knowledge and abilities even further. There was an opportunity to explore the stolen lands to the south and if successful a new settlement would be created. With this new settlement a chance to build a new Temple to Torag and spread the faith. Jakob did not hesitate in accepting the request but immediately got his weapons, tower shield, and supplies ready. Jakob packed his suppllies on his riding horse and was set to depart, but first he wanted one more chance at making things right with his father.

He had tried many times before but was always turned away by anger and fists. His father never gave up drink, but it seemed to control him. To his father there was only the bottle and nothing else mattered. Jakob could easily defend himself now being even bigger than his father. He could have easily taken him down a peg or two and gave him a taste of what Jakob grew up knowing. Jakob could have but he never hit his father in any of their altercations. When Jakob got to the house his father was on the front porch almost as if he was waiting for him.

"Well it be lookin like you be takin a trip der sonny", his father slurred. "Well I hope you get what you be deserving after abandonin me like you did".

Jakob just stood there looking at the man. He felt sorry for him. Jakob wanted to succeed at settling the stolen lands. He wanted an opportunity to make something of himself. He wanted to have a family one day and be the father he never had. And this adventure seemed to be the very best thing to accomplish everything.

Jakob is strong and determined he will fight to the end for his party. He doesn't believe in abuse and will step in when ever he sees it regardless of the consequences. His objectives are to spread the faith of Torag and create a new life for himself.

Good Evening All!

This is Celeador, I just wanted to give a quick update for Lem's list. Over tonight and tomorrow I'll be putting together Andrei Rogarvia, Human Bard and the last bastard son of House Rogarvia. Backstory will follow shortly with crunch coming after. I just want to say again how excited I am to see another Kingmaker on the boards.

-Celeador


I'm going to go with a rogue or a druid, should have the character up tomorrow.


I vote for Valeria and Asta

Remember, we aren't voting until after recruitment closes on Friday, and then we'll vote by sending a PM to KenderKin rather than posting our votes here.


ooops, sorry. i was too eager to vote, it seems!


I would like to take part in this adventure.
Updating character information soon.
Basically i have been a rebel and lived among humans making my own way sometimes not in a lawful way. Trying to find a way to change the past and be a free elf.


Whew! I am glad I got myself off the hook for the decision making!

This is a good looking bunch!


Hey all, I have this Human Ranger that I'd like to submit. I'll be rewriting his background shortly.

Lucius is heavy on skills and archery focus, so I'd almost suggest he fits the skill category and ranged support rather than strait up martial.

Dotting for interest. I'll work up a character and have him or her posted by Friday! Thanks for running, KenderKin, and thanks for forcing me to up my game with all these excellent applications everybody else!


Signing up for this AP.

Sigaldren is the Gnomish Servant and childhood friend of Audrey Swan, a scion of House Orlovsky. He and Audrey recently had a falling out over the best course of action concerning the growing tensions in Brevoy. He after this argument he ran off (half-cocked) to take a more active role in the coming conflict to prove his argument to Audrey.

In the stolen lands, Sigaldren intends to protect House Orlovsky's interests.

Sigaldren learned the basics of the witch's arts from his mother who served as Audrey's caretaker/nanny. He learned the arts of diplomacy (second-hand) from Audrey's tutors.
