Garvin has had his Story Changed some to fit campaign info more, and has been updated to use words. I think I got the way they work right.


Nope, I missed Brother Manus.

Updated Submissions:


Are submissions still open? I'd just to put one forward for consideration, if so.

Yup, until Sunday!


Recruitment is open until monday actually.


The 8th! My Birthday! Maybe I will get a present, but at my age, not really important. LOL!


I'm almost done with my submission, an elven reincarnated druid.


stat generation:
Str - 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Dex - 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 +2 racial = 18
Con - 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 -2 racial = 15
Int - 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 +2 racial = 15
Wis - Focus - 18
Cha - Foible - 8

backstory:
Eldarien has lived a long life. Longer even than his elven heritage might suggest. Through the eyes of many bodies, he's seen the ages pass by and generations of friends and acquaintances pass away. He is not quite old enough to remember a time before the Void Tower, but its influence has punctuated his entire existence. All he remembers is it being around, and for five hundred years it's spread its polluting presence, diseasing, killing, and terrorizing civilized folk. For a time, all Eldarien wanted to do was retreat, to hide in the wilderness from the Void Tower and the suffering and the pain. Well, he did just that. For two hundred years he lived alone and amongst the wilds, cycling through his original elven body, a human body, and entering an orc body in the meantime. One day, an injured and poisoned half-elf stumbled into his domain. Eldarien had grown half-feral by the time the dying man made it to his forest home, but Eldarien saw the pain in the man's eyes, and so cared for him, and nursed him back to health. When the man was healthy again, he began to talk, and talk, and talk. All he had to talk about was the struggle against the denizens of the Void Tower. There was a new war declared on it, the civilized folk were bent on its destruction. They talked for several days, but of course Eldarien let him go. He had grown used to his solitary existence, and the visitor, however friendly, bothered him a bit, just being around all the time.

Still, shame festered within him like a rusty knife. Where had he been, in his nearly immortal existance, while the rest of the world fought and died and suffered from the predations of this alien device? He had been hiding in the woods. He took a few weeks to mull it over, to lovingly stroke the walls of what had been his home for so long...and then he left. He left for civilization, and spent the next century and a half on the fringes of society, healing the injured and hunting the creatures that escaped from the Void Tower. Packs of summoned creatures make short work of even dangerous alien and evil creatures, and Eldarien was an effective hunter, especially in his orc body. Still, it was never enough for him. The only thing that would satisfy his long-term mind was the utter destruction of the Void Tower. That's why he leaped at the first chance he got, when a call was put out for adventurers to seek the Tarrasque Amulets. He saw this as a chance to finally end all of the suffering he had seen for so long. To finally make things right with the world.

He was eager for this adventure.

Alright, here he is in all his feral glory. Ask if you've got questions, I want him to be clear.


@ Leinathan: You may want to double check your stat generation, I believe you've miscalculated.


Str is just straight-up 12
Dex is the 16 rolled plus +2 elven racial
Con is the 17 rolled minus -2 elven racial plus 1 4th-level increase
Int is the 13 rolled plus +2 elven racial
Wis & Cha are set - I think I'm good.
EDIT: Oh, and he's wearing a headband of inspired wisdom +2. That's why he's got 20 Wis.

Any other concerns?

Ah, a July baby. My birthday is coming up in a couple weeks. I look forward to it. I get a free burger at Red Robin this month.


Niiiiice...


My birthday happens to be on the 12th, oddly enough XD So many birthdays~

I find it amusing that I have an elf spellcaster with 16 constitution. Hey, he spent 200 years in the wilderness by himself. That stuff hardens a guy.


Anything I need to do to my back story to bring it more into line with campaign?


@ Warden: Other than a couple of possible spelling errors, not really. Seemed pretty solid.


And Eldarien? Anything he needs?


@ Leinathan: Nothing that stikes right off the bat.


Yeah. It's what I get for doing it from my phone.


DYAC!!!!!!


Latest Submissions:


20 so far... someones popular.


I certainly didn't think I'd get this many, that's for sure.

EDIT: Given the amount of interest, I'm increasing to six party members.

Well, you do have a lot of submissions to look through. It looks to be a tough decision at any rate.

Good luck!


updated the profile with the correct crunch


had to change alias's

new character alias and profile is located here


Modified Okana's backstory a bit to fit better into the world info. Tweeked a few other bits and pieces too.


Finally got to my comp. Crunch is in profile, just need to get equipment and spells done. Will get that done tomorrow I think.


Good luck to all - great work - very interesting builds! Happy 4th!


Four days left.


Update: I have decided to go with a narrative method of leveling up. Instead of having you level up once XP is gained, I will be informing you when you have gained said level. If his is a problem for you or do not understand what I'm talking about, let me know.


No problem with that. I have GM'ed and played under that approach in the past.

That sounds good.


One less thing to be kept track of.


BAM! Tiriael background information is now on the alias.

Do take a look at it and let me know your thoughts GM Scary Ceiling Voice.

Wish the selection would be right now, the submissions do really seem interesting ;)

Grand Lodge

agreed


Dot.


Even though I'm know Recruitment is open till monday, I've started going through the submissions. Not an easy choice. Cross your fingers, but don't hold your breath. Don't need anyone passing out.


*starts banging on the desk from lack of air*

*gasps for air*

Stop that! Waiting is detrimental to my health!


The wait is killing me! Not literally, of course, but still, just sayin'. Good luck everyone!


It is killing me literally.
The wait is here in the room with me, smiling and holding a knife.

Grand Lodge

Good luck to you all


I'm very glad that I have a significant number of other campaigns to keep me occupied, and a life besides this, or I would sit down refreshing this page for hours on end, hoping that you'd made your decision already.

Eagerly awaiting your eventual decision, and hoping that I make the cut next to so many interesting characters.


Lien is a Noro hater....

Just joking good luck all


Do we know when decision time is on the 8th?


Given there is one submission that still doesn't have a backstory, I'll keep the submissions open until 3 pm (-8 UTC Pacific Time).


Tap, tap, tap - Tiriaels' fingers drummed endlessly on the table, as she awaited for a decision - surprisingly, or maybe not for the performance inclined girl, even the impatient finger drumming carried with it a measure of rhythm...


Doran grins widely, youthful enthusiasm flush on his face as he faces the sky and roars out a bolt of red flame. "HA! I'm gettin' all fired up!"


Eldarien crouches at the edge of a bank of trees, watching, waiting, for the perfect moment. He is patient, but he knows their guard will be let down eventually, and that will be the moment he strikes.

Shadow Lodge

Comes back from the Con (Was at Dexcon) and passes out anyway.....I didn't need to hold my breath..hehe :)


Well, the time has come. The recruitment is officially closed. I would like to thank everyone for their submissions. It was not an easy choice, but I have made the following selection:

Captain Piers Makepiece
Nebari Freyr
Terra
Doran Wyrmson
Alaeron Longstrider
Tiriael

Once again, thank you all for your submissions.

For those selected, I will get the Gameplay thread up as soon as I can.
