What can I say, I'm a fan of unorthodox and uncommon ideas.
So! To the point, I'm looking for you shiny, honorable, law-abiding, horse riding, followers of your deity!
I'm kicking around the idea of a "Orders of the Church" idea, or the ever-classic "Holy Quest" starter, but I'm definitely going to be working the story angle on this one.
All Paladins is fine. So is 3 Paladins and a Cavalier. Or Two Paladins, a Cavalier, and a Cleric, or an Inquisitor. I'd like Paladins to be in the majority, though. This story is intended to be driven by the characters, so make them deep, make them thorough.
I want to use Googlewave because it has the potential to make for a scene that is malleable, unlike the break-pause-post of PbP. If you are missing Googlewave capability, let me know. I've invites to spare.
I'm looking for 3 to 4 players (5 maybe), 1st level starting, 4d6 drop lowest (roll your three sets here), and don't skimp on the flavor.
The above still stands, and I am looking for a fourth again. So put your ideas here, sell me Character, and I'll let you know. The theme? "Faith and Steel".
In case anyone is wondering, some (but not all-- still ongoing) of the threads that have been started in this game thus far have been posted ~HERE~.
As the player of Ernesto in this game, I can say that memori runs a good game with exceptional opportunities for imagination and RP. The Wave format has pros and cons, but I like the fact that you can go back and edit things in stream to add RP fluff like raising an eyebrow in surprise during an NPC's conversation.
Either is possible, but ~who~ are they? There's only been one combat in one of the waves so far (besides Lindleys, and one in Rolandir's). I'm looking for the person more than the combat capability. Two of the characters are traveling together now, only because they started in the same area.
Another is likely to meet them maybe after eight (RL) months, given the posting rate and dependent upon character choices, if I had to estimate. I'm still pulling them together, but I absolutely refuse to wave the "Hand of God" just to get them to do that.
So who is the character? Where might they be from?

Hope you don't mind a narrative description.
To the Keeper of Records at Vigil-greetings in the name of our just goddess.
It is with heavy heart in which I write to you. I regret to inform you that the valorous Sir Rhobar is dead, killed by the claws of some dark beast here in the dark forests of Ustalav. I survive only because Rhobar demanded I flee with his family's holy symbol, which I have enclosed with this letter in the hopes that it may be returned to his sister in Taldor.
Despite the shame I feel at fleeing, I cannot help but believe that my life was saved for some divine reason. Something dark dwells here in Ustalav, something truly evil, and though my skills are meager I must do what I can to remove its influence from this haunted country. I pray to Iomedae that my lack of experience may be shored up by a strong faith.
I will not be returning to Vigil at this time. I ask the Watcher-Lord's forgiveness, but I doubt I could survive the return trip through Vyrlich on my own, and I lack the funds to purchase berthing on a ship back to Lastwall. I shall remain here in Cortaud while I hunt for this elusive evil. I hope that my courtly upbringing will prove of some use, but I am certain that vanquishing this darkness will require the work of the blade. Should I fall in the line of duty, know that I fell doing Iomedae's work.
In faith and justice,
your servant Theodric~
Raised the son of a minor noble in Taldor, Theodric Albercroft spent his early years being taught the complex rules of the Taldan court. Though he found himself skilled at such practices, the backstabbing, grudge-holding nature of the courts left his soul empty. His only solace in such activities was the beauteous Viviana Basinora, a young socialite, and wealthy heiress.
In time, Theodric's charm caught her eye, and the two began meeting outside of the noble's salons they often found themselves in. It was through Viviana that Theodric first met her brother Rhobar, then only a recently anointed paladin of Iomedae. In Rhobar, Theodric saw the brightness within that his own soul lacked. A strong, righteous, and charismatic man, Rhobar easily gained Theodric's admiration.
When Rhobar left for Lastwall, Theodric left with him, becoming his squire and casting off his noble name, just as Rhobar had done when he had joined Iomedae's crusaders.
I can manage the both of you. With it being this late in the semester, please don't expect daily posting from me, but I ~will~ post. So, send me an email at H_spirit(at)yahoo , if you don't have a wave account, else give me your wave account name, so I can add you to the OOC and we can start this journey.
