Game Master Dakcenturi

1- Cedric is a local of Sandpoint, living there most of his life.
2- Cedric has a Sister named Anna, who he cares about almost more than anything.
3- Cedric lost both his parents when he was around 13 to orcs and or goblins.
4- Cedric attempted to join the sandpoint militia, however due to a couple of differences of opinions he wound up working as a vigilante of sorts, protecting the town on his terms. Not the laws.
5- Cedric Detests goblinoids of any kind, likely shooting first, and not caring to ask questions later. After all, he saw them merciless kill his parents.
6- Cedric would sacrifice himself to save his little sister.
7- Cedric is a bit of a tinker when it comes to weapons, having heavily modified the standard heavy crossbow used by the guards.
8- While his preferred method of combat is with his crossbow, Alex is no slouch in a more personal confrontation, as many people in town that attempted to fight him can attest to.
9- He is calculating and tactful, while he can be friendly, he is slow to trust, and slower to forgive.
10- He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and any that challenge that sense have a hard time getting on his good side.
11- He began fighting at first, to protect his Sister Anna, and a select few others in Sandpoint, however he eventually began to enjoy the thrill of a fight, and began honing his skills further, at the expense of other things.
12- His Sister is young, only 14 and disapproves of Cedrics growing tendency to start a fight.
13- As his enjoyment in a fight grew, he started venturing out from Sandpoint to hunter goblins or other more bestial creatures.
14- He has a small pelt business in town, selling any furs he gains from his kills, and any scrap he finds that he deems useful.
15- Cedric is on more than rough terms with the sheriff of Sandpoint due to his, active, sense of justice and combat participation. However, his skill with his crossbow and aid in fights has kept him, mostly, out of trouble.
16- He has started dabbling in alchemy as a side hobby, both to placate his sister on doing something other than shoot things, and in an effort to increase the potency of his shooting things. To some considerable success.
17- Cedric has a minor crush on the tavern keeper Amieko, much to her brother's disdain.

Goals-
Cedric always dreams of becoming one of the most renown sharpshooters across Golarion.

Cedric wants to gain enough fame, or money, to be able to send his sister to the city so she can continue her study in magic, as she has proven to be fairly adapt at it.

Cedric wants to find the creature that lead the raid that killed his parents. He is sure its an orc or something similar, but he really doesn't know.

Cedric does, to a point, want to protect not only sandpoint, but other places as well. The only way he can go about doing this in his mind is removing the threats to those towns and people. efficiently, and ruthlessly.

Secrets- 1. known to cedric, 2. not known to Cedric
1. Cedric has joined a rather secretive hunters lodge in the region, learning about how to read the land and follow animal tracks from them. He also learned most of his alchemical skills from a hunter specializing in poisons and the like from the Lodge.

2. ummm. To be decided?

Character Relations-

Anna: Anna is Cedric's only (to his knowledge) living family member. Anna is cheerful, friendly, and rather innocent. She has Black hair, green eyes, and a smattering of freckles. She has shown some talent for magic and is often sharp witted and more calculating even than her older brother. While Cedric feels like he protects his sister, Anna sees herself as the only reason Cedric has yet to die. He never cleans up, he doesn't cook anything but meat, he constantly gets hurt on his hunts and while his first aid knowledge is decent, it normally takes a good amount of care from Anna before he is back at full capacity. She also makes him bathe and shave, against his will.

Rivals/Enemies: Jubral Vhyski and Tsuto Kaijutsu have more than on a few occasions butted heads with Cedric.

Frienemies, Friend/rival: Sheriff Hemlock. Ever since Cedric left the guard/militia of Sandpoint, he has both worked with, and around the Sheriff. Cedric's type of justice and protection often involved going around laws or orders which caused the Sheriff much frustration, however the Sheriff grudgingly acknowledges Cedrics more than adequate skills so keeps from "locking him up" for long periods.

Quirks, mannerisms, and memories:
1. Cedric remembers when his parents caravan was overrun by goblins and orcs. He remembers watching in frozen terror, barely able to stand in front of his sister as a screaming orc with a battleaxe ran towards him. It was the first time he'd actually seen death, but instead of dieing that day, a guardsman from the nearby town managed to get between him and the orc and cut the orc down. It was what started his desire to be a guardsman one day. To be able to protect people like he had been. It still holds both good, and bad, memories for him. However as Cedric got older that awefilled wonder of him as a kid slowly died out into the realism of the world. Thanks to Anna however, he continues to force himself to believe in that ideal of protector, at least a little bit.

2. Cedric is, in most regards, extremely lazy when it comes to menial tasks and everyday chores. While he could spend most of the day practicing his shooting, or hunting some beast or goblin in the forests, he detests chores and other mundane things. He rarely cleans, savve to clean his clothes, and only cooks the meat he gets from his hunt as farming for fruits and vegetables is too much of a hassle, and he doesn't like to spend money on it usually. Even if he did, he states that cooking vegetables is far too difficult. He does however, sometimes purchase sweet fruits when he has spare money or is in a good mood. Or when he wants to apologize to Anna.

3. While Cedric seems lethargic and lazy, complaining about doing minor things, however when something threatens the town, or more specifically, him, his sister or those he cares about, he becomes a very different person. A fire lights up in his eyes when he can test his marksmanship against live, dangerous foes.

4. When he is telling a lie, or otherwise half-truth he often scratches under his chin and looks up and away from the person he is talking to.

5. He prefers to use only his own bolts he crafts himself. Something about not trusting the craftsmanship of people he hasn't met. He is however ok with using the bolts from the local Fletcher.

6. He has gained a penchant for tasting random things that my be considered ingredients for his alchemy, and has had a few... issues a couple times.

7. He remembers the first time he worked with the guard, there was a caravan not far out from the town that came under attack. However the sheriff/captain ordered the guards on duty to remain in the town for fear of a larger attack coming. Cedric disobeyed, his sense of right stronger than any sort training to follow orders(something he never had been good at anyway). He managed to help drive the goblins back, but noticed with distaste the inefficient reloading and stopping power of a crossbow. This was the instance where he decided to quit the guard and become a hunter, as well as to work on tinkering his crossbow to make it more efficient.

I'm in a couple of games with rorek55 as a player (one I play, one I gm) and just wanted to verify for you that he is a fun team player who provides good RP. In both games, he helps the team have a moral center. His characters are strong and distinctive enough to help the team feel like a real team of characters.

I also GM a game with Avoron (Marvin the inquisitor) as a player and he is great to have along there, too. He's got good attitude, posting frequency, RP, and strategy. He's also been in my game for the long haul, posting with great frequency since the game began in December.

1) Develop character concept. Crunch does not need to be complete but it can be. Character concept should include the following:

- Class:

Bloodrager ( Urban / Primalist )

- Alignment:

Lawful Neutral - Evelyn respects the law and is quick to help friends but she's far from a hero yet.

- Characters link to Sandpoint: How long have you been in Sandpoint? Are you a resident? If not, why are you there?

Evelyn is a recent arrival to Sandpoint. After the the gruesome end of her previous party she has followed the druid that saved her life to Sandpoint but rumors of giants gathering in area has sparked a desire for revenge.

- Livelihood: How does your character make a living?

Growing up as a minor Chelish noble Evelyn never really needed a job so she's lacking in marketable skills, but once she left home and joined with a group of Nomads she learned a lot about using her magic to enhance her physical abilities making her perfect for the mercenary/adventuring work.

- Rollplay vs Roleplay: How will your character contribute to the group in and out of combat? Do you prefer one over the other?

Rollplay - She has some pretty scare DPR when raging and that will be her main focus until ~level 4 when She can pick up some utility/buffing spells.

Roleplay - Skill wise she has Diplomacy, Sense motive and some magic skills. She's very curious about magic despite being very bad at it which could be good or bad depending on how the dice fall. Although born in Cheliax she doesn't have their 'ambitions' of finding loopholes in laws or dealing with devils but her heritage could cause some distrust at first.

Both are important but combat can get a bit dull when using a more martial class since all your turns generally become 'I hit him really hard' since that's the best option in 99% of cases.

- Progression: How do you plan to mechanically develop the character (ie dips, multiclassing, PrCs, etc)? If you don't have a plan yet, that is ok.

Unless something drastic happens story wise She'll stay a full Bloodrager. As far as feats goes, unless I can find more interesting ones, she'll stick to the standards - power attack, arcane strike, ect.

- Background: What is the characters backstory? Doesn't need to be a novel, but at least 1-2 paragraphs of an overview.

Evelyn was born to a minor noble house of Cheliax known for their large family of gifted magic users, however she never quite inherited that gift. Her siblings quickly became prodigies of their own respective magics but she was never able to do much more than create a few sparks - even magical items seemed to refuse to work properly in her hands. While it was rarely ever openly discussed, Evelyn always knew of the talk about her failures and how it was reflecting on the family. She tried to use them as encouragement to push herself harder but her magic continued to fizzle and the whispers became louder by the day. After 16 years of hard work and dedication Evelyn was still nothing compared to her family and they were no longer shy about discussing it, finally broken she left Cheliax to free her family of herself.

She headed north unsure of her goal or destination but with a sense of freedom she’d never felt before. She spent a few years roaming various towns working as everything from a barmaid to a farm-hand until, one night working at a tavern in Korvosa, a group of adventures took notice of her. Their leader, a man named Flynn, claimed Evelyn had powerful untapped magic that could be an asset to their group if she was willing to join. She was reluctant to trust his words, doubting he saw something her family hadn’t, but the temptation of redemption won over in the end.

Since she still couldn’t focus her magic into spells they taught her a new method - how to unleash magic to empower her natural abilities. Evelyn continued to travel and train with the group as they ventured further north working to build a name for themselves, until a hunt in Varisa ruined everything. Thinking it would be an easy job Flynn had signed them up to hunt down a group of giants that had been getting dangerously close to the city but his overconfidence cost them everything. They planned to attack during the night hoping to catch the giants off guard but they were ready and far more dangerous than expected. Evelyn didn’t even get time to use her magic before a large club cracked against her skull, dropping her. Evelyn awoke in an strange camp with her wound tended and a female Aasimar nearby - The woman explained she had found the party dead but was able to save her. Once again alone in the world Evelyn wasn’t sure what to do or how to process the news. The Aasimar, that introduced herself as Ziva, offered to bring her to Sandpoint with her. Evelyn accepted, mostly due to not wanting to be alone, and traveled to the festival - she is still dealing with the loss of her friends but the rumors of giants in the areas has filled her with fear and a desire for revenge.

2) Let me know your time zone and the time(s) of day you will most likely be able to post.

I should be free from 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM and from Midnight - 3:00 AM Central but I tend to be more active at night.

3) What is your experience with PbP? How many PbP games are you currently participating in? Do you have a particular PbP moment you are proud of?

I joined Paizo on June 16th 2014 and I've had some experience with a Firefly PbP before that.

I'm currently only active in one game, I was involved in more but had to drop out due to life but now things have cleared I'm trying to get into more games/get my posting rate up.

My PbP Moment would like be When I used bluff and linguistics to mimic a fey's voice so well it confused his pets and basically made them waste their turn.
