As for multiclassing/PRC nope, it's hard enough for a kineticist to keep up and multiclassing will kill her effectiveness. I also can't think of any PRCs that would really complement her short of maybe the evangelist one which won't fit the setting well.

I don't drink so sparkling grape juice. Vinexa doesn't either, it's too dangerous for her as she could lose control of her powers quickly if she did so she'd have the same kind of drink.

Human Druid

Do you plan on multi-classing? Prestige classes?

Seriously considered going into a wild shaper prestige class, but nothing concrete at the moment.

What're you drinking for New Years? And what's your character drinking?

Myself I might have champaign or wine. My character is definitely more of a sweet wine person if not just water.

Satinder's presence in Sandpoint is only tenuously voluntary. Not long ago, he was mentoring under Antus Miron, an inquisitive in Sharn. In the course of one of Satinder's first solo cases, he stumbled upon a cover-up that implicated several of Sharn's elite. Shortly thereafter, he was politely but firmly offered a post as an administrative assistant to the mayor of Sandpoint. While he has grown fond of the town and many of its inhabitants, he yearns desperately to return to Sharn. He knows the city's corruption, but it doesn't keep him from dreaming of going home.

Satinder will probably be an investigator with the Psychic Detective archetype.

Garrick grew up in Karrlakton, in the shadow of the Deneith stronghold. Such an upbringing certainly ensures martial puissance, but he didn't feel at home because he believed that Deneith distanced itself from Karrnath when it should be thankful to the nation that facilitates its prosperity. Much of this line of thought came from his parents, both having served the crown. His mother, before she died, was a medical officer; his father a field commander in the Royal Army. Now retired, his father has aged to the point that he rarely makes it out of his modest estate, and is looked after by his servants. After his mother's passing, his father moved to the city that sprung up around the outside of the Rekkenmark academy, and occasionally gives speeches to graduating classes, when his age permits him to leave the home.

Born in 968YK, Garrick came of age in 986YK. In 992, he graduated Rekkenmark academy and served as an officer in the army until the end of his commission a little more than a year after the Last War ended. He served along Karrnath's borders with Thrane and Aundair during the war and along the Karrnath-Talenta border after the war. He left the service to explore the continent, the constant reminders of past conflict in Karrnath were too depressing so soon after the war. Uninterested in living amongst his more bitter enemies, he traveled to Breland and sought the life of a paid adventurer, in the hopes that the goal he was paid for would be less poisoned by politics...

Regarding the sources you tend to draw from, I would say:
Game of Thrones: Garrick would get along with the Hound on a personal level but consider him rather stupid. He would appreciate Tyrion's intelligence and skills, and Tywin's masterful battlefield leadership, Eddard's grim determination. From KoTOR he would appreciate the Mandalorian's lust for battle and glories past, and would like (at least my main character's) grey jedi approach.
I know i picked an ACG class which you don't particularly like, and I normally don't either (the few I have played have usually been underwhelming, mechanically, from their parent classes) but when I saw this class (particularly Steelblood and Black Blood/Arcane) I immediately thought such a character would be great from Karrnath, so I had to give it a shot.

What country were you born in? Do you currently call Breland your home? Do you think Breland is a 'good' government? (Do you trust it, love it, proud to live here, etc.)
Karrnath. While Garrick doesn't call Breland his home, he does currently live there. Nothing will compare to the feeling of being 'home' he has while in Karrnath, but Breland isn't so bad, at least for people in his situation. The people generally have more freedoms, and it would appear there are less sinister groups vying for overt power (whether this is true or not, he doesn't know). He doesn't trust or distrust it, he likes it but does not love it, and he is nether proud nor ashamed to live there, though he considers his living there to be temporary.

What does your character lie about? Their weight? That they passed a test for some organization, when the truth is they never took it? That they love their siblings, who are truly awful?
His service in the war. Part of what inspired him to leave service when his time was done were his actions in the ruins that were once Shadukar. He and his company slaughtered the Thranians there, man woman and child, before torching the place. Instead, he tells people he operated on the Talenta front. While that is true, his significant lie is a lie of omission, mostly.

What is your defining strength? Your ability to forgive? Your hammer? Your intelligence? Your ability to talk your way into and out of everything?
He can take the lead in dangerous situations. He is a trained leader and graduate of Rekkenmark, and led men in the last war in groups of varying size.

What is your motto? "You cannot fix what you cannot face," "Work hard, stay humble," "If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together."
"Death Holds no Terror." - While not a motto of his own invention, it was drilled into him in training. He charges headlong into battle, not fearing death but trusting his abilities and those of the people he chooses to surround himself with to see them through the fight.

What is your most treasured possession? Your sisters last letter to you, a pocket portrait of your dead lover, your lucky set of dice.
His Black Opal Ring that signifies that he is a graduate of Rekkenmark. His graduation from Rekkenmark was the proudest moment in his life so far.

If you had to list a class (yes it can change) what is your starting class and race for your character?
Human Bloodrager (Steelblood)

Do you plan on multi-classing? Prestige classes?
I don't have a plan for that. Bone Knight would be cool for the theme and flavor of it, but he won't qualify and i have no plans to multiclass to make him qualify. I just kinda like the idea of bone armor, bone weapons, etc.

What're you drinking for New Years? And what's your character drinking?
I drank Caipiranha and some bottles of Bohemian, my character would probably be drinking hot wine.

Alric Magnus is 5’8” 155 lbs., but is stronger than he looks. He has pale skin and dark wavy hair that always seems a bit unkempt. He wears basic adventuring clothes and leather armor. His dark blue (almost black) cloak covers, but doesn’t hide a sharp, curved blade on his side, as well as a dagger on his belt. When he dresses up he wears basic adventuring clothes with a dark blue (almost black cloak). . . I guess he doesn't dress up. Being in the ruins of an abandoned monastery by himself off and on for 3 years doesn't lead to much socialization.

Failure is only opportunity for learning. Though, his greatest regret is not spending enough time with his father after the Last War. He never did get a chance to know him before his untimely death.

His greatest accomplishment is following in the footsteps of his granddad and learning the ways of a kensai. He's still got a lot to learn; but following through on the long path of enlightenment his granddad set him upon and learning to focus his arcane energy through his blade has earned him his granddad's respect.

Pride: Though he strives for humility, he can't help but see his thirst for knowledge and way of life a step above everything and everyone else.

What kind of clothing do you wear? And what kind of clothing do you wear when you have to dress up? He wears simple tunic and hides, preferring what he was able to piece together to wear as he grew up. He's never had to dress up, so he would probably look out of sorts if he had to go to any kind of dressing-up event.

What is your personal greatest failure? What is your personal greatest success? Personal greatest failure would be that he couldn't prevent Mother Fortuna from dying. He would consider performing the rites for her passing to be his greatest success at the moment. He feels that she would have been proud of how well he performed them for her.

And lastly, What is the sin that your character is the most susceptible to? Wrath, probably, if angered though he is very slow to anger.

Who are your characters heroes? Did they love the stories their mum read them as a kid of Matthias the blackhanded, who was redeemed from his wicked ways when he sacrificed himself to save the city of Tellmoradon? Or was Tira Yronforged, the champion of battle of the rails, your favorite hero to read about in the news prints during the Last War?
Garrick grew up steeped in the tales of Karrnathi national heroes, so those are the ones he likes the most; however, he could appreciate tales of patriotism from other nations as long as they didn't run afoul of Karrnath.

What kind of clothing do you wear? And what kind of clothing do you wear when you have to dress up?
Garrick wears plain, functional clothing. Having left the service, he eschews the Karrnathi military uniform, but he still appreciates the functionality of clothing that mimics military clothing (extra pockets, thicker material, etc.).
When dressing up, he prefers clothing that is elegant by virtue of its cut and cloth, rather than choosing things with added embellishments (Think like what Petyr Baelish would wear early on in the GoT TV show. Simple, cut to fit, but nice material without all the added symbols of house or rank.).

What is your personal greatest failure? What is your personal greatest success?
Garrick's greatest failure would be, to him, not moving on from his past. The actions at Shadukar haunted him, though he feels that he should have moved on and not let it bother him like many others he sees (whether this is true of them, or they secretly battle with their own demons, he doesn't know. He just thinks they seem to be handling it better than him).
Garrick's greatest success, and defining moment in his life, was graduating Rekkenmark. That said, he cannot rest on those laurels forever, especially since he is no longer active duty in the military (more like ready reserve) and especially as he is in a country that, at times, fought against his own in the war; further compounded by the fact that most folks don't want war relics like him around.

And lastly, What is the sin that your character is the most susceptible to?
Wrath, of course. The fires of adrenaline in battle is part of what overcame him in Shadukar, and in fights he tends to lose himself, never feeling as "at home" as he does in a fight.

Who are your characters heroes? Those who have walked the path of the Silver Flame in righteousness before him. The War itself was one of Greed and Reth does not consider those fighting for personal gain to be heroic.

What kind of clothing do you wear? And what kind of clothing do you wear when you have to dress up? Clothing which covers as much of his appearance as possible. Gloves, robes, neck guards, helms, masks, etc. Reth has had little opportunity to dress formally nor has he bothered besides prestly vestments when asked to do so.

What is your personal greatest failure? What is your personal greatest success? Reth's greatest failure was allowing himself to be freed from captivity by his own Church, that failure eats at him daily. His greatest success was retrieving an ite from the Mournlands for the Darkstar company. Though it was not in service to the Flame the success came after his escape and the Flame sitll heeded his prayers. This fave Reth the confidence to know that he still has an opportunity to redeem himself before his earthly Church.

And lastly, What is the sin that your character is the most susceptible to? Pide.

Vinexa prefers to wear a blouse paired with a loose skirt reaching to mid thigh and her hair loose. When she needs to dress up she wears much the same though usually the dress is one much longer in length, and she'll at the least braid her hair tightly as well as add a bit of soot to her lashes and eyes to darken them. She always prefers clothing in either russet colors when informal, or fiery reds, oranges, and yellows when dressing up.

Her greatest failure was undeniably the loss of control at the news her father was dead. It caused her powers to run wild and destroy the entire village and this will haunt her til the end of her days. Her greatest success is ultimately her desire to go on and try to make something of herself, to keep going so her loved ones are never forgotten and to honor their memory by trying to make the world a better place.

The sin Vinexa is most vulnerable to is the sin of wrath, her demonic heritage already pushes her towards anger, hate, and destruction, her control of fire makes this even worse. When she becomes angry she becomes dangerous and volatile, lashing out without forethought at times. Despite this she always feels profound regret at what she has done and tries hard not to let that rage become her undoing again.

Since coming home, his best friend has been young Tsuto Kaijitso. Satinder sees Tsuto undergoing much of the same torments that he endured as a child, with the added blessing and curse of a present father who happened to despise his existence. Lately he has found himself stepping into an older brother role for Tsuto, which has also brought him into closer contact with Tsuto's sister Ameiko. Ameiko is one of the few people in town for whom he tempers his bitterness, and while his motives may be impure he is undeniably a better person when he's around her. Denala, while initially mistrusted and shunned for her nationality and circumstances, has become well-liked by most of the town, her genial nature and fair dealings overcoming the town's early perceptions of her. She currently has Satinder's old room available to rent.

What is your defining strength?
Satinder's greatest strength is undoubtedly his keen mind. Despite his character flaws, he truly is brilliant, and he chafes at not being able to put that brilliance to use.

What is your motto?
"Power is a function of perception."

What is your most treasured possession?
At this time, his most treasured possession is a cane given to him as a parting gift by his mentor, Victor. The shaft is black-stained walnut, with a silver hawks-head for the grip. As much as he loves it, it usually stays in his room at the White Deer. He knows that such finery would be grossly out of place in Sandpoint.

Race: Human
Class: Investigator (Psychic Detective)

Multicassing:
No
Prestige Classes:
No

New Years Drink:
Belatedly, I wasn't really celebrating New Years, so I was having a Dew. Satinder enjoys a good glass of wine, though he feels that he hasn't actually found one since coming back to Sandpoint.

Who are your characters heroes? Did they love the stories their mum read them as a kid of Matthias the blackhanded, who was redeemed from his wicked ways when he sacrificed himself to save the city of Tellmoradon? Or was Tira Yronforged, the champion of battle of the rails, your favorite hero to read about in the news prints during the Last War?
Satinder's most obvious hero is his recent mentor, Victor Saint-Demain. The master inquisitive lived up to his legend in every way, and then some. A little deeper, though, lies the hero that he hopes for--his father. Despite years without contact and being unable to find any solid leads in Sharn, a part of him clings desperately to the hope that his father is an amazing man who has a perfectly understandable reason for abandoning him. Finally, when he was young, his mother told him tales of witches and monsters, and the heroes who fought or outsmarted them. These legends have faded in his memory, though something of them still remains, buried deep.

What kind of clothing do you wear? And what kind of clothing do you wear when you have to dress up?
Satinder sold most of his clothes when he left Sharn, but what he kept is quite fine by Sandpoint standards. His usual outfit is double-breasted dark vest over a long-sleeved shirt, tucked into dark trousers, which are then tucked into short boots. He also wears reading glasses when he needs to do bookwork.
If he feels like dressing better, he adds a long dark coat and a bowler hat, along with one of three silk cravats. He also has a particularly fine outfit given to him by his mother when he left for Sharn that he's never worn. He was going to wear it when he finished his apprenticeship with Victor, but since that apprenticeship was truncated he feels that he will probably never wear it.

What is your personal greatest failure? What is your personal greatest success?
As far as Satinder is concerned, his greatest failure was failing to maintain his place in Sharn. He often thinks to himself that if he'd managed to become a little better-connected, or made more of a name for himself, that he wouldn't have been dismissed so quickly.
His greatest success, though, was realizing how quickly he could rise in society, once he understood the game. He realized that people are essentially puzzles, and once you solve them, you can have all kinds of things.

And lastly, What is the sin that your character is the most susceptible to?
Definitely pride. It is, in fact, his pride that is keeping him trapped in Sandpoint--if he were willing to let go of some of his mannerisms and use his skills to make Sandpoint better, he would undoubtedly find himself with all manner of fantastic opportunities. Because he refuses to "lower" himself, though, he can do nothing to change the town's perspective of him as a selfish egotist.

Clothing: a wide brimmed hat, a long cloak with hood down, beaten but well polished boots, and a slightly tattered vest and travelling pants.
Dessing up... whats that?

Greatest failure: his inability to stop using chemical substances to augment his abilities. He knows he is better but cannot stop

Greatest success: discovering the wide wicked drug trade that wraps its claws through everything and must be stopped! Even as he falls he must stop the very trade and save those he can.

Sin: perhaps beneath it all it is greed, the greed to be greater then the sum of his parts...

Being driven with nothing to hold him back, Arkus often wonders what he could have being if not driven to what he is now. Sadly these thoughts don't last long as the next mission comes along and he accepts with little regard to its possible consequences to himself.

Dressed for the wilds or the city, Arkus is certain to be dressed for the occassion. Even the latest high fashion is not spared his eye for details as even a formal squire's outfit can be tailored to allow a hidden blade or two within.

Considering among his greatest failures, he failed to retrieve a family heirloom sword from a Karnithi Bone Knight having discovered the man was a bastard gifted a last gift from his father as means of atonment. He reported back to the former's family and was severely beaten for his failure. He left with his head high despite suffering several broken ribs.

Battle Hardened, Vicious even and willingness to undertake underhanded methods all underscored by a fatal weakness. Arkus is a bit sentimental to those outcast or downridden by the dregs of high society. Always more than ready to bring about his Wrath upon those he deems slighted.

Clothing is always in various shades of brown and brass, usually in the most least restrictive cut he can manage. Having patches or holes in it doesn't affect him the least though it could be drafty in some places.

Lokien greatest failure is likely the lack of hindsight as he tends to throw himself into whatever good brawl he can get. Every day alive after some fight is a success. getting friends out as well could be a bigger success. His companions might beg to differ on that.

If there's ever a vice Lokien has, it's Gluttony.....He loves to eat.
After all in his own words.
"You never know when you might never eat or drink fine foods and wine again."
