GM Knight's: Plunder and Peril! [Chapter 1 Completed!]

mishima
Tall tales of hidden riches are common in the pirate-infested taverns of the Shackles, but when Captain Varossa Lanteri claims to know the location of the secret treasure hoard of legendary Captain Jemma Redclaw, it seems she may be telling the truth. Captain Lanteri hires the PCs on as crew to help her assemble the magic key that will open the door to Redclaw’s treasure... and the ancient cyclops stronghold in which it’s hidden! Can the PCs survive long enough to claim their share of the lost loot, or will their enemies—or their allies—send them to a watery grave?
I am more interested in fluff than power
Alright, that took longer than expected. Anyway; Whiskey's submission, for your viewing pleasure. I'm not quite done with the background yet but I sketched out the basics.
Quick note on mechanics - I took the Accurate Stance rage power from Unchained Barbarian, let me know if that's not alright.
Submitting Lhinneth Silvertide, a DEX-based unchained rogue / brawler focusing on looking seemingly innocuous before engaging foes into melee with her battle fans (stats and bio in her profile).
Mechanically, she resembles Serenna very much, though that is bound to change as she takes more levels in Brawler (next level she gets brawler's flurry and piranha strike, which should boost her DPS), making her more of a front-liner than a skill monkey. Still a bit of a work-in-progress and, as such, any feedback would be welcome!
I've changed a few things about Serenna's equipment and bits of her stats... will probably make some additions to her background as well if/when i get the time.
@Serenna, no problem, if you are submitting via an alias I will be going over the "fluff" once the submission deadline passes.
@Lhinneth, looks good at a glance, I do not like to give too much feedback outside of explaining house rules, etc., because I find initial submission are a better measure of what a player will be like in game. Generally I will not sweat the small stuff, so any niggling details can be ironed out if/when a character is selected.
Yep. Info including background etc is in my alias
@GM Knight: makes perfect sense. Good to know, I'll tinker a bit with her in the following days then!
@GM Knight, might need to redo the background a little, specially as Arven dropped the peg leg feat, but other than that its pretty much him.
Submission deadline is in just under 5 hours, please try and have all of your details in your profile alias, or at least clearly laid out in a single post if you do not wish to use an alias :)
@Arven I'll bear that in mind, but ideally please try to make the alterations before I go through the applications tomorrow.
Yep Good Luck ... forget last comment, read the background for the Skulls and Shackles campaign, not the background for Plunder and Peril ...
The old background is much fuller if you like a read, the new background is a much smaller synopsis in line with GM Knights request, and different.
Not the highest submission count I've ever seen, but virtually all of them very intriguing and well-fleshed out characters coming from players with a rich history of strong role-playing. This is going to be interesting.
Good luck, everyone!
