Campaign Setting- Homebrewed setting.
Story – 5 adventurers get invited to a meeting with the king Corniera, there he discusses the plight of the world. The world is changing and not for the better.

This doesn’t affect just the good people, this affects evil people as well for their world will be destroyed. Some might join this quest for selfish reasons, the king doesn’t care, or some might join this quest for the betterment of all. Most people are in it for the loot… Oh and the king’s great offer. (That will be revealed in game)

dot
dotttttt
clarifying question: when you say 16rp, i'm assuming you mean no race with more than 16 from the books, would you be open to a custom race?
Dot
Dias-Lewis, what languages are permitted? I'd assume there was a Common tongue of a kind ... and then languages based on the seven continents? And even one from the home town we create?
Oh forgot about that one, you're allowed to pick any language so long as it's not a secret language, like druidic if you're not a druid, or drow if you're not a drow, obviously, unless you're playing a D’ziriak you wouldn't know D’ziriak, Protean would be a language that would be hard to pick up, and Vegepygmy unless you're one of them.
I'll get to working on the basic details of each continent soon, it's been a while since I've ran this game, and sadly I've never gotten to finish the game due to circumstances cropping up.

Standing in at 5'10" and looking like a lightweight boxer with shoulder-length chestnut brown hair and deep green eyes, Shavel exudes an air of cool confidence. This is generaly a front, however. The Elf has seen two generations of human friends pass on, and being far from most other long-lived races, Shavel has built a bit of a shell around himself, throwing himself into the study of magic and swordplay.
His family originally hails from Ophelia, but immigrated to Talios before he was born. Succesfully allying themselves with the nobles who won the civil war nearly 100 years earlier, the name Gysselylth now has a reverence to it, causing many people to seek Shavel's assistance and occasionally attempt to kill him in some vague atempt to regain honor a generation or two lost.
Shavel has few cares but those he does have take heavy priority in his mind. Slow to trust but even slower to lose his trust once gained, Shavel can be a friend through and through.

Appearance & Background
--------------------
Zulan stands at 5’10” and weighs 163 lbs. A handsome young man, he has dusky/tanned skin, dark brown hair and warm amber eyes. His physique is toned with defined musculature and he possesses a hunter’s natural grace. He has a quiet demeanour – more observer than talker – but is still social enough when a situation warrants it. He was born in the village of Tagore in Zantar, to a human mother, Qaza. His father had been a wandering Elf who had lain with his mother for a night and then promptly disappeared. He was raised in a human tribal community with his mother’s family. Zulan had been teased by the other boys of his village – due to his beauty and prominent ears. But it only made him stronger and more determined as the years went by. He enjoyed exploring the jungle and rainforests, especially with his tiger companion, Beza, by his side. Zulan became a skilled hunter and tracker – having a preference for the bow. His mother, Qaza, was proud of her only son, especially when the village elder, Chaka, gave him the honour of leading the daily hunting parties. Zulan was not accepted by all in his village, but his talent/natural skill was respected. One fateful day, when Zulan and Beza were exploring the jungle many miles away, a small band of raiders had come to the village and killed a number of his people, including his beloved mother, Qaza. Zulan vowed to avenge his mother’s death, and, together with Beza, began tracking the raiders, moving at a distance behind them, pursuing them relentlessly all the way to Talios. He had never seen the likes of such a land as Talios, but his need for vengeance and justice fuelled his heart, will and spirit.
Age – 23
Deepest desire: To locate/hunt down his mother’s murderers and bring them to justice (tribal or other).
Darkest fear: He will lose himself completely to the vengeance which now fuels his actions.
What is his dream reward? To find peace (after his mother’s murder) and to discover his true place in the world, where he can carve a name and home for he and Beza without the stigma of being a bastard half-breed.

Link (Ex) : A hunter can handle his animal companion as a free action, or push it as a move action, even if he doesn’t have any ranks in the
Handle Animal skill. The hunter gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and Handle Animal checks made regarding an animal companion.
Share Spells (Ex): The hunter may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on himself.
A hunter may cast spells on his animal companion even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion's type
(animal). Spells cast in this way must come from a class that grants an animal companion. This ability does not allow the animal
to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.

I may add more to Zulan's background ... it's very late here right now, so I will look at it again tomorrow. Thank you. :)
Dot
Dot. I would be interested in this. Will have a character later.
Dotting for interest.
Is the lack of plane shift indicative? Are spells like Gate, Summon, Create Demiplane etc also banned?
Well Plane shift takes you to another plane, I do not want this ability in the game especially if someone plays an Evil Wizard/Sorcerer/Summoner/witch/cleric because all it would take for you NOT to have to save the world is - Oh, the world is in danger... everything I know is going to be destroyed... Might as well jump planes so I can live..-
Creating a demiplane is still attached to the original plane I'm assuming so really, you're not safer than if you jump into the water hoping you'll survive.
** spoiler omitted **...
Don't forget desires, worst fear, and reward.
Hi, presenting a human ninja from Dasin. The fluff is already written for Tian Xia so just please swap Dasin in where appropriate. I will modify his crunch but otherwise I think he's pretty good. Please let me know what you think. Basically he fled his home village and ended up in Talios. He's CN but I feel he could lean towards CG later on.
His Deepest Desire and his Darkest Fear are kinda related as his Deepest Desire is for his home village to stop chasing him and his Darkest Fear is what might happen if they do. His Dream Reward (though this is in his subconscious really) is that the feud between his two villages would end.
Presenting Mileana, an Aasimar cleric of Urgathoa following the Undead Lord archetype.
First run at the background and other things are in place on profile, still filling out the crunch but thought I would throw the idea out and see if it goes over. Very interested in playing.

Theodric sees himself as the greatest swordsman in all of Talios! Of course the reality is that he is just starting out, but he is convinced that his natural aptitude will lever him into that status. His pride makes him somewhat off-putting socially, but he is generally an optimist and nothing really discourages him for long. He longs for the chance to prove his mettle and the King's call is the perfect opportunity he has been waiting for.....
His deepest desire is to win the accolades in prowess of swordsmanship he believes is his destiny. His darkest fear is spiders! God, I hate spiders.... jk. His actual darkest fear is simply irrevelancy, doesn't sound like much, but he dreads being nothing. His dream reward would be accolades, honors and titles befitting a great champion.

Appearance & Background
--------------------
Hunched over like most of his kind, Buzzak stands at only 5'1, and a mere 101 pounds. He wears robes over his armor and, like most tengu, resembles a large crow. He might not look like much, but he can strike as fast as lighting with his dueling sword. The hood he wears doesn't keep anyone from noting his beak or avian eyes.
Born in a slum zone in a large city on the continent of Dasin, Buzzak grew up learning to fight off the racist children of his local school. Rather than let his grades plummet, he threw himself into his studies the same way he threw himself at opponents. He quickly became infauted with the subject of history (and magic) and decided that he would one day travel the globe to hunt relics and chronicle history.
For years, he did not have the funds to set out on this dream of his. But after years of saving and training, he is finally ready to live the dream. He bought passage on a ship to Talios to answer the kings call to adventurers.
Age:30
Deepest Desire: While Buzzak has his race's normal affinity for wealth and loot, he desires historical artifacts and his chance to leave his own mark on history. He wants to rediscover the past while leaving his mark on the future.
Darkest Fear:That more ancient knowledge will be lost to the ravages of time, and that he could not contribute to the field of historical studies in any meaningful way.
Reward:Besides large amounts of wealth, Buzzak's dream reward is a massive library of knowledge to study and analyze, as well a massive reliquary of historical treasures. Oh, and his own published chronicles of his adventures in the field.
Also, when do you want to start this game? I am really getting into character here. Also, tell me if I did anything wrong.
I'll be doing a slight edit shortly to my own submission (trait modification and adding fears, desires and reward).
No multiclassing, but what about a Prestige Class down the road? And what is the racial feat?
I assume they mean a feat that requires you to be a crrtain race, such as Breadth of Experience, since that was how I built my character.
No multiclassing, but what about a Prestige Class down the road? And what is the racial feat?
A prestige class is perfectly fine and racial feat is something that you can get when you pick a race. I.E. Humans can get a feat known as Fast Learner.
** spoiler omitted **...
I was thinking on the 14th or the 15th of this month, depending on how much time I have, I do have something I need to do on the 14th, but all these characters are pretty good, I'm liking them so far.
Ok. Thank you for telling us.
Oh! Side note- There will be a DMPC in this game, I know some people cringe to that idea, but she's a plot-kit device for the game. A little bit of a 'required' character to say the least.
Thats ok, DMNPC's are ok as long as they never overshadow the players.
And since you said prestige classes, might do horizion walker somewhere down the line.
Indeed, that sounds great, and I don't plan to actually have the DMNPC overshadow the players, no she's more or less the one who'll help push the story, but her role isn't huge.
Ahh, no bonus racial for my idea then. But the only one I could take at first level wouldn't really work with the concept very well. Part of the price of going counter to a races general bias.
I have no problem with DMPCs as long as they're not abused absurdly.
Dotting for interest. Character to be reworked.

Okay, a little more research has shown me wrong on my last post. I did find a feat that is appropriate. But I will wait to take it until I learn more of the racial breakdown of the world, particularly the continent of Ophelia where this character is from. Since I need to choose which race it is geared towards.

I will be submitting a half-elf investigator later today. Long story short, he is a cook for the king, but he has his way of getting his nose not just into other people's culinary preferences, but their less savory business as well. He'd be from Ophelia, using some of the more advanced preparation techniques there. He was recruited to Talios for he eccentric dishes, but on occasion, the nobility wonder if the chef is a bit too odd for his own good.
Still polishing the crunch up but should be good enough for review. Presenting Wolfphear!
Ariarh Kane's submission, here (again). I cleaned up the background and I made an alias/profile for Zulan.
Created an alias now.
was rereading rules and, I was really sad after reading about no gunslingers.... steampunk nooooo!!!!! :( ah well. moving on.
GM, I know you said no third party.. but I would really like you too look at and consider- Machinesmith
Partly due to I had an amazing character idea pop into my head when I saw the steampunkesque continent and can't get it out....
So far I'm seeing pretty good submission. I'll be making the DMNPC soon enough, she does NOT count as one of the adventurers, at least until the adventure starts. You'll all see why soon enough ^_^

The Elf has seen two generations of human friends pass on, and being far from most other long-lived races, Shavel has built a bit of a shell around himself, throwing himself into the study of magic and swordplay.
His family originally hails from Ophelia, but immigrated to Talios before he was born. Succesfully allying themselves with the nobles who won the civil war nearly 100 years earlier, the name Gysselylth now has a reverence to it, causing many people to seek Shavel's assistance and occasionally attempt to kill him in some vague atempt to regain honor a generation or two lost.
Shavel has few cares but those he does have take heavy priority in his mind. Slow to trust but even slower to lose his trust once gained, Shavel can be a friend through and through.

Fear, Desire, Reward
--------------------
Shavel's darkest fear is failing to live up to his family name, even if it is a heavy burden at times. His deepest desire is to further his mastery over the Elven Curve Blade and it's natural conductivity for his magics. His reward would be a weapon of true master quality and a place to train the next generation in the Spell Dancer style.
Okay, ended up giving Zulan a drawback as it made sense via his backstory. So added extra trait and the drawback to profile. Thanks. :)
I sent you a PM with my backstory on him... I kinda rushed the end cuz it was getting a little.... lengthy...
-Also, I assume the racial feat is held to prerequisites still?
Updated Hisao to character creation rules. It's always fun to add goodies rather than take them away. Added Human Feat Defiant Luck and took the paranoid drawback as it really fits the character and took Fast Talker in exchange. Let me know if there is anything missing or if you have any questions. I have a bit of extra shopping to do but I'll do it later. Gotta sleep now.
Added favored class skill point into knowledge history. Now to just sit back and wait.
