Aerian (Male Human Rogue - 1st Level)

DM:

Spoiler:

I am afraid I am going to have to withdraw my participation from this thread. Very reluctantly, because I really like the look of how things are developing and I was looking forward to playing Aerian. Nonetheless, given recent work changes and my pre-existing PBP commitments, I am not going to be able to commit to posting as regularly as I would like.

I'm really sorry for messing you about like this - I wish I'd known a week ago what I found out today. Good luck with it - it sounds like you've got a great bunch of players and a terrific setting/style.

Cheers
Steve

Aerian (Male Human Rogue - 1st Level)

DM:

Spoiler:

"Discrete! When have I been anything but?" grins Aerian at his old mentor who merely raises an eyebrow in response.

"I'll keep my ears open, sure. If he's a master thief," continues the young man raising his hands in mock awe, "then I'm sure there'll be some buzz around the taverns. The city loves stories about people like that. Is he famous for any great theft in particular?"

After finishing his tea, Aerian will head down to midtown, wandering the streets and briefly watching the performers from the shelter of the shop eaves. He'll drift from tavern to tavern meeting regular contacts and friends and keeping his ears open for any tall tales or mention of the name Shilukar. Initially, at least, he won't press anyone for information - just keep abreast of any rumours or gossip.

Please have a look at the background for Aerian.

The background is good. Just a couple of other details...

Thanks.

Spoiler:
I've amended the wording slightly, to incorporate this. It will feature most prominently in interaction with Mirannee as Aerian is trying (so far unsuccessfully) to persuade her to accept a place under their care.

Rogue is underway - stats weren't quite what I was hoping for, but then they never are are they(14, 13, 12, 11, 11, 9)?

I keep switching around my background, so I havent posted that yet. At this stage, I'm thinking that he grew up as an orphan and was rescued from a life in the Warrens by the church of Lothian. They trained him attempting to turn him into a paladin (where he learnt to use his longsword), but he really didnt have the mentality for it and frequently absconded to the much-more-exciting streets when he was supposed to be studying religion, swordplay and other more knightly pursuits.

He's currently renting a small but clean apartment somewhere near the coast in midtown between the docks and warrens. He'll have a couple of friends from that area: a fellow lodger who is a member of the town watch and a street urchin who lives in the warrens. He'll also have a contact within the conciliators - an ex-tutor who relies on Aerian to keep abreast of news and rumours from "the rough end of town". He recognises Aerian as a good sort, even though he doesnt have the discipline or respect for authority that was required to be a paladin.

Aerian has a couple of aliases or disguises he uses as necessary. One a beggar who lives on the streets, the other a trader who is frequently "out of town on business".

He doesnt like real violence. In general he tries hiding first, talking his way out second, running away third, fighting with his sap fourth and reluctantly using his hidden daggers if absolutely necessary. If push comes to shove though, he isnt afraid of a fight if the enemy is beyond negotiation...

The whole character idea is still forming, so let me know if there's anything which either isnt going to fit or which you think I should expand on (I'll suggest more info about the NPC contacts shortly).
