Dalen's Background:

Born the youngest son of four brothers, and the youngest child of eight siblings, Dalen was almost an afterthought in many ways. His eldest brother would inherit the family's fortune and main businesses while the younger siblings were each groomed to aid in growing that same fortune or the family's influence. By the time Dalen was born, the Felders really only had one thing left for their youngest son, to join the Brotherhood and help the family get a foothold there. So, after a childhood of learning all of the niceties of high society, Dalen was apprenticed as a squire at the age of fourteen.

Dalen found that he was well suited to the physical demands of his job, and the knight assigned to mentor him was impressed with his strength and toughness. So much so that he began to test Dalen to see how he handled different situations. The affable young man rose to the challenge with tact, charm, and wit. The knight, Sir Aldon Rhodes, fast tracked Dalen and did his best to teach his young squire all he knew and how to navigate the politics of the Brotherhood.

Unfortunately for Dalen, Sir Aldon's second squire, Frodericke Holton, felt that the commoner, however well off his family may be, had no place in the Brotherhood. Using his family's connections, he delayed Dalen's trials until he could take them as well. Dalen's success, and the praise Sir Aldon and his peers laid upon him, rankled the young noble's nose and had begun to blame Dalen for any bit of ill fortune that came his way. Dalen, who had no idea why the noble hated him so, tried to mend the rift between them, but was rejected in a rather spectacular fashion. If he could, Frodericke would have Dalen expelled from the Brotherhood and find some way to make him pay for every perceived slight.

Now that Dalen has succeeded his trials, however, Frodericke is unlikely to succeed without more dangerous methods. Dalen's parents have also been pulling strings to have Dalen mentor a squire of his own now that he is to be a full knight, and their influence helps shield their youngest son somewhat from Frodericke's ire. Given the praise he received and the influence his family had over trade, the Brotherhood felt it best to assign a squire to him. Dalen, always obedient, accepted, with misgivings, and now awaits the day he is officially a knight.


Dalen's Personality and Appearance:

Dalen is a genial sort. He gets along with just about everybody, though he can be a stickler for the rules. There are a few things that do get him into a foul mood, his parents, his squire, and moneychangers. Those that get to know him, or are assigned to the same mission as he is find that he is a shrewd businessman and often makes money on the side by selling and buying goods in the towns he visits along the way.

Despite his image as a moonlighting merchant, he does look the part of a man at arms if not a knight. He stands at 6 foot 4 inches and possesses a thick torso and arms. His hair is black and his eyes are green.

Elaina's Background:

Elaina was born in Aldune as the result of a tryst between two foolish adolescents on the cusp of adulthood. Her father, an unsuccessful blacksmith's apprentice and her mother, a lazy scullery maid, soon learned how large of a mistake they made when their families could not support them and their newborn daughter. Rather than face starvation, the two abandoned the infant to the woods. She was discovered by one of the better trackers and hunters in Aldune and he took her in as his own. He taught her the skills she needed to be able to survive, and for fifteen years, everything seemed to be going right. That was until one of the knights of the Brotherhood came and called on the tracker's services as a hunting guide.

The knight got drunk one night in the camp and made advances towards Elaina, which were rejected. The knight grew furious, but the tracker swiftly knocked him out. The next morning the tracker was informed that there was a penalty for striking a knight, but the knight would be merciful and only take his adoptive daughter instead. Unable to do anything, the tracker could only apologize to Elaina before she was dragged back to the capital and pressed into the Brotherhood.

The knight lied about how Elaina had come to accompany him back to the capital city, and promised to go back and make her watch while he slowly tortured her adoptive father to death if she didn't play along. She did and feared that she would be stuck with the corrupt knight, but was surprised to find herself apprenticed to a young knight named Dalen. In the few months since her time as a squire began, she's come to see Dalen as her older brother, though she would never admit it to him. Teasing him is too much fun after all.


Elaina's Appearance and Personality:

Elaina is wise beyond her years, and can see things from both sides. She is a skilled archer and tracker and will likely surpass her adoptive father in time. While reserved most of the time, she possesses a rapier wit that comes out when people annoy her, or she's around Dalen. One of the things she hates the most is being called a kid or child, which is very easy to do given her red-haired, blue-eyed, freckled face looks a year or two younger than her sixteen years to most people.

Elaina stands only a little over five feet tall and is all lean, wiry muscle. Her boyish figure, like her freckled face, does little to help


You didn't list Lily's class and race, so just for clarification she is a human sorcerer.


I will be closing submissions this coming Tuesday night I believe, I will be selecting 5-6 players. Also, if you are not chosen, but want to stick around there may be some special "one-off" characters for certain times. You all made it into the Order after all, just not all of you will be given the same assignments.


May I present Brak-Ji.

Please note my previous post for the ability rolls (restated in the Abilities section).

Let me know if you notice anything I missed or if you need anything like age, height, etc, added)


Totally forgot about background skills. I'll update in a bit.


Updated.

Also Swapped the usual Multi-talented trait for : Arcane Training: Half-elves occasionally seek tutoring to help them master the magic in their blood. Half-elves with this racial trait have only one favored class, and it must be an arcane spellcasting class. They can use spell trigger and spell completion items for their favored class as if one level higher (or as a 1st-level character if they have no levels in that class). This racial trait replaces the multitalented racial trait.


I seem to be missing from the list of those interested.

I have however settled on submitting an investigator to the campaign. I hope to have him mostly completed sometime today so I can jump into the discussion thread!


Will jump in on the discussion thread later tonight.


with no other replies on those that were interested, I may move selection day to monday night.


Alvin here is still a bit of a work in progress but I'll definitely have his profile polished up by Monday.

For now I'm going to go check in on the discussion and see about introducing myself.


hmmm. This is hard to choose.. that said, I expect to have those selected posted soon.


Screw it! I don't want to have to pick, and I shan't, I'll give a go at running two tables of a joint campaign. That said, I unfortunately still had to make some cuts. (my apologies to those who did not make it)

What I am going to do with this, is run two different "tables" of the same campaign. Each team will be given different tasks however, they will all take place in the same world. So you will still know of each other, and may even have times where you are required to work together. (If I do decide to create a short scenario like this, I'll let you know ahead of time and ask that everyone be sure to post at least 1/day or more during that period to keep it from bogging down with around 10 people. Unsure if I will attempt this, but it is a possibility, if a mild one). That, Or I may simply cross reference actions taken by each group as background fluff/rp during those situations, which might be more manageable.

I will assign teams as I see fit, however if you feel your character meshes better with someone elses, or wish to be on another team/have a concern feel free to let me know. Changes can be made for a bit as we still make our way through the intro.

Team 1
Lily Frosthood
Dalen and Eliana (sitting in a tree)
Anduriel Silverthorn
Damari Wilder
Serill Elamaer
Sir A. Wellington

team 2
Posh Nanjet
Artemis Juno
Alvin Timo
Tordrek the Rusted
Dreadguard Lienhol
Ol' Rols

I realize some may notice one party is heavy on the arcane, so I balanced it out by making the other more heavily on the divine. Neither should be a problem however due to the general idea of the casters and their apparent role.

Gameplay should be up with the day. Please go ahead and finish any alias you have not yet finished.

I will also begin detailed inspection of character sheets, but one thing before I do, what I suppose is a houserule on a certain ability-
channel energy, lay on hands, anything of that nature always increased every two levels. so if you obtained an ability at first level that is based on half your level, you get another boost to it at level 3. However, if you did not obtain said ability until level 2, you don't get an increase until level 4. Its not a big change, but its something I prefer as it avoids the needs for rounding and is in my own humble opinion simpler.


On the 1/2 character class abilities, by the rules in the core rulebook, unless it is otherwise stated, all rounded numbers are rounded down. As the GM, you can rule otherwise, but generally, the assumption is that you round down.


I remember seeing that numbers for ability mods/damage etc were rounded down, Then again, I suppose its never been a problem.

actually, I think we just played it as increasing every 2 levels after you obtained the power, so my example actually is wrong. I'll fix that.


Congrats, one and all! For the Order!


Congrats to those that made it. Enjoy.


Woo-hoo. This feels like it's going to be a great game.


Woohoo, let's serve the brotherhood!


Looking forwards to it!


Same here!


Is recruitment closed?
