My thoughts exactly. I've finally gotten a chance to put Anthony's fluff into typed words, but I'm going to leave off those bits for the exact same reason.I havent worked out the Aria Park protest or the Night of Ashes in my background yet. I was hoping to use that to make some ties with other players if I get chosen.
Yeah. I found that it really helps a party get started, and stay together if there are at least some ties. They dont have to be deep, or truely fleshed out, but having them gives common ground to work on.
I am crazy excited to get this going and we almost have the compliment of 3 games worth of characters in the running already. So, I've decided to move up the deadline a week, from the 18th to the . Those listed as interested above will get a courtesy PM notice to the change as well. Feel free to reach out to me in a PM if this change causes a problem for you.
Not a problem GM, thanks for letting us know. Looking forward to Sunday now (even though I'm on call), lots of great submissions here.
Redotting to remind myself to check in here more, got distracted >_<
Will go over the character today or tomorrow to make sure i have everything good to go :3
Please find my submission for Rutilus Rathgan.
PixelsAreGod here submitting Antius Gregor, also known as the Rose Artiste! He recognizes Thrune as a taint upon the art of Kintargo, and thus positions himself against them to return the beauty of the city back to its former glory!
Backstory and crunch are in the alias. Thanks!
This seems way too cool an opportunity to not dot.
Nickadeamous, just so you know the deadline got moved up to Sunday the 11th. It's not too late to submit a character, but you'll need to do it quickly. :-)
Worked out a Brianna's reason for protest. Couldn't resist a little more exposition, as well as the addition of one of my favorite superhero tropes.
Tagging Along:
Brianna heard the protest was going to happen in Aria Park just a day before. A few aquaintances around the War Cage had mentioned it, but she had managed to brush most of them off. Sark knew better.
"You're going to the protest, ain'tcha?" the steam sizzled in the air as he stoked up the smoldering coals in the forge.
"Sounds like trouble," Brianna shrugged. She sat on a stool close to the foundry's exit; the bustle of the War Cage rolled loudly under the midday sun.
"That's ain't a 'no,' his toothy grin shone brightly past his lower tusks.
"Sark," sighed as a young girl might, setting her work in her lap. The two half-humans grinned at one another. Brianna's cheeks shone with a bit of rose color, while one of Sark's bushy eyebrow fluttered in anticipation of the answer. "I....uh, I.. have no business in Jarvis end," she said wryly.
"That so?" Sark growled. He thrust a piece of iron into the forge and began to heat it. "Well I'm going!"
"I suppose that YOU have business in the Park, then?" Earlene asked as though she were a proper maiden.
"I do madam," Sark teased her. "This 'martial law' business is going to be the end of Kintargo as we know it."
"A bit of an exaggeration," Brianna had returned to her work.
"I wish," the half-orc snorted. He pulled the metal ingot from the fire and placed it on the anvil "This is serious though Brianna. He's a THRUNE. He's got a bunch of Hellknights in his service. Even the dottari are starting to get more cruel with all these new proclaimations."
"The dottari are just doing their job," the half-elf interjected.
"That's what I mean! This is where it starts!" Sark set down the tongs he'd only just picked up. He was clearly worked up. "They start by enforcing this ridiculous curfew. Then they dole out a few beatings...just to send a message. How long until someone gets hurt?"
"Sark!" Brianna pleaded. He was grandstanding now. It was aggrevating.
"How long is it until someone dies?" he raised his voice again.
"SARK!" the nearby smithy's turned to see her Brianna, red with fury. Like I don't care. She stepped in close to her friend and the nearby workers returned to their tasks.
"You know I care about the people of this city," she was whispering, but her sharp anger was still clear in her voice. "You KNOW what's been going on these last few nights."
Sark gave her a quizzical look, followed by wide-eyed gasp of realization. "You're-"
"Shh..." the half-elf glared. "No one can know."
"Ok, ok," Sark conceded, threw up his hands. The two separated and went back to their respective tasks.
"I'm still going," Sark broke the long silence. He was grinning like an fool with a new spoon. "And you should definately go."
"Fine," Brianna said, "I'll go check it out with you."
Tagging Along: You gain a +2 bonus on all Perception and initiative checks made during the protest itself.
Brianna's post made me realize I never formalized Darius's "Reason to Protest" either.
He's there to "Protest the Government". The arrival a Thrune lord of the heel of such a disaster seems an unlikely coincidence. Especially with the previous Lord-Mayor vanishing so suddenly. There is something nefarious afoot, and with House Thrune behind it, the very essence of Kintargo is in danger.
The day of the protest, Darius wears some casual robes, in his civilian identity and heads to the protest, ready to do his part to let Barzillai know that he's not welcome in Kintargo.
I submit Vencint St. Charls, aka Black Dhugal, for your consideration.
Here is Ginney, the Silent Slip for your consideration.
Tried to look over everything yesterday but site wouldn't let me on lol
Osveta Daud should be all good to go :3
Dropping out of recruitment, though I've only expressed interest.
The anticipation is killing me!
Anyone else eagerly anticipating the final line up?
First off, thank you everyone for the overwhelming interest and fantastic submissions! It was a hard choice to make, I spent a lot of last night in a spreadsheet thinking things over.

Will the following please report to the discussion thread:
Carl Conrad Copperplate
Brianna Reed
Reynard Freeman

Adun Wulle
If there are any GMs out there following this, you absolutely have my blessing to build another game as well.
Amazing, thanks GM! Looking forward to getting started.
Congratulations to those who made it, and commiserations to those who didn't - lots of excellent submissions.
Darn. Congrats to all the picks!
Congrats to those picked! Have fun!
