Joe's Iron God's PbP

Game Master Joseph Millsaps

Goals
- Since the Esoteric archetype has diminished spell casting, I would like Adrazzi to branch out into some style feats. He might lean toward Kirin Style, which would take advantage of his high Int to identify opponents’ weaknesses. I might also take Snapping Turtle Style for the extra defense, or Tiger or Snack Style for the different damage types.
- In terms of his story, I would love for Adrazzi to embrace his technological origins and find some way to turn that to the advantage of those he values.

Secrets
- Given his somewhat unknown beginnings, Adrazzi prefers to hide his true nature from those he does not know.
- Adrazzi does not know that he was initially sent out from a crashed ship as an assassin intended to blend into society while he stakes out his target

People
- Khonnir Baine: Found Adrazzi unconscious (malfunctioning and in low power mode) a short distance from Torch. He mistook Adrazzi’s tattoos for those common among Varisians, He took the “man” in, helped him recover, though there seemed to be no external wounds, and befriended him. When Adrazzi awoke, he had no memory of his name, purpose, or background, so Khonnir gave him a Varisian-sounding name and took him on as an apprentice.
- Rocky: A stray dog that Adrazzi found pinned under some debris in the Junkyard. Adrazzi rescued the dog and took him back to Khonnir to heal the animal. Rocky lost a leg, but became a constant companion to the android in his excursions around Torch.
- MZ-477 (enemy): Another android that was dispatched to eliminate malfunctioned units that are no longer following their original directives. Adrazzi has a vague memory of this figure, but does not recognize that he is probably coming after him.

Memories
- The aforementioned memory about MZ-477. This is more like a memory of a dream or a distantly recalled urban legend, but it sticks in the back of his mind like a primal fear about things going bump in the night.
- The memory of his tutelage under Khonnir Baine. Khonnir has almost taken on a fatherly persona, though Adrazzi finds it difficult to process such sentimental feelings.
- He also remembers the day he rescued Rocky. Yet more feelings to confuse him.

Despite his odd powers and the suspicions of the townsfolk of Torch, Fal was welcomed into Baine's family with his adopted sister Val, who quickly took to Fal with affection, giving him the nickname he now uses proudly and happily teaching him everything she knew about machines and technology... though, bizarrely enough, in some cases, Fal could actually recite more information about the tech they brought in then either Val or Mr. Baine could! Fal doesn't understand how he got his current powers or what he has to do to control them, but his abilities vex him and his adoptive family to no end.

But now, the fires of Torch have gone out and even worse, Baine has gone missing! Fal fully suspects that something in the ruins below is responsible, and he feels a strong sense of responsibility to address the problem himself. Beyond that, he feels a deep desire to repay his adoptive dad by rescuing him from the same ruins the kobold had once been trapped in... and besides, he was his father! No difference in appearance or origin could destroy the family bond he'd developed with Khonnir and Val. Fal believes that his strange powers may be of use in the ruins, and has volunteered to venture in with a group of other brave souls to search for Baine and investigate the cause.

Falthor used to be a ruin delver for the Technic League, slipping quietly into ruins and retrieving as much valuable looking technology on behalf of the League before getting out and turning in his quarry for a marginal profit. However, his last expedition dropped him into some ruins near Torch that had a toxic radiation leak, gravely poisoning the kobold and nearly killing him. Luckily, the automatons of the ruins scrambled into action, placing Fal into a rehabilitation pod and flooding it with medical nanites, which worked quickly to try and remove the toxicity from his body.

Unfortunately, the poisoning had spread too rapidly to be removed, so instead, the nanites infused themselves into his cellular foundation and formed a medical network to restructure him from the ground up. The procedure was a resounding success, but left him with some unintended side effects. Thanks to the nanite network keeping him alive, Fal is now something of a living hive for the tiny robots, able to command the robots with enough concentration and practice. The reason he can break things by touching them is because he is in fact releasing millions of nanites to destroy whatever he is touching on a microscopic level. In addition, Fal can release a swarm of nanites to heal those around him, with the medical nanites being built for medical work and able to treat most minor injuries before returning to Fal. All of the "spells" Fal casts are really due to nanites doing much of the work for him.

Once Fal had been saved, he was kept in stasis, although the reconstruction left him with total amnesia. He could not remember who or what he used to be, but with Baine's rescue from the pod, he has come to accept his new family and is grateful for folks who care about him and overlook his odd conditions.

Although Fal has no interest in learning who he used to be, he does have a keen interest in trying to figure out WHAT he is - what gave him his powers? Why? Can it be replicated? Should it be? All of these questions and more vex him regularly, and his studies along his dad and sister help him to slowly understand what he came out of, but not quite what he is as a result of it. Sadly, his interests must be kept relatively quiet in the hopes of keeping whatever discoveries he makes out of the hands of the Technic League, who he despises with a passion. Their hoarding of technology is a criminal offense - that tech belongs to everyone interested in studying it! If given the chance, Fal would love to deal the League a considerable blow for stooping so low.

Perhaps because of his adoptive family's attitude or his almost child-like innocence, Fal has a very curious outlook, and were it not for the danger, he would love to regularly venture down into the ruins and study the structures and treasures within. Fal places a great deal of importance on information over tangible prizes (not that he doesn't like a good shiny reward as much as the next kobold). But it's technology that really vexes him, perhaps due to the nature of his powers or the eternal drive to see something glowing and ask "What does this do?"

Norhalo is a quiet, moody sort. He's not sure of his reception back at home, since he's been gone for several years and has been living among the (strange to him) people of the Impossible Kingdom. His desire to help the people of Torch is unconsciously influenced by his reluctance to go back to Iadenveigh.

Traits
Campaign: Skymetal Smith - You’ve long hoped to work with skymetal, and begin the game with a small metal bauble made of the skymetal of your choice—you made this item yourself. The item is nothing more than a valuable art object worth 100 gp. You can sell it to gain an additional 100 gp when creating your character, but if you keep it, your pride in its crafting grants you a +2 trait bonus on Will saving throws made against emotion and fear effects. You lose this bonus if you willingly sell or give up the item, but if it is destroyed or lost through no fault of your own, you retain a +1 trait bonus on such Will saves. (Dragon Torc)
Equipment: Iron Liver - You gain a +2 trait bonus on Fortitude saves against poison and drugs, and a +4 trait bonus on Fortitude saves to avoid the effects of alcohol.
Combat: Armour Expert - When you wear armour of any sort, reduce that suit's armour check penalty by 1, to a minimum check penalty of 0.
Drawbacks
Cruel - Whenever you are engaged in combat and there are dying or helpless foes within 30 feet, you take a –2 penalty on attack rolls against foes who are neither dying nor helpless.

Deeds
Deadeye (Ex): At 1st level, the gunslinger can resolve an attack against touch AC instead of normal AC when firing beyond her firearm’s first range increment. Performing this deed costs 1 grit point per range increment beyond the first. The gunslinger still takes the –2 penalty on attack rolls for each range increment beyond the first when she performs this deed.

Steady Aim (Ex) At 1st level, as long as a musket master has at least 1 grit point, she can take a move-equivalent action to increase the accuracy of a two-handed firearm. When she does, she increases the range increment of the firearm she is firing by 10 feet. This stacks with other abilities that increase her range increment.

Quick Clear (Ex): At 1st level, as a standard action, the gunslinger can remove the broken condition from a single firearm she is currently wielding, as long as that condition was gained by a firearm misfire. The gunslinger must have at least 1 grit point to perform this deed. Alternatively, if the gunslinger spends 1 grit point to perform this deed, she can perform quick clear as a move-equivalent action instead of a standard action.

He worked on his craft for years, till he finally had grown in to adulthood. He earned his spurs as it were, and became a travelling Blacksmith, leaving his family at home and moving out in to the world to learn new skills and tricks.

He spent a couple more years in the military near Lastwall, working as a Smith, learning some combat till he was discharged honorably and sent on his way. His travels took him to the city state of Alkenstar, where he learned a new craft, the ability to make firearms.

He crafted his first weapon, a monstrous long rifle which he named Runedar, Haven in Dwarvish. He learned how to clean and maintain her, how to make the ammo she used and how to tell when she needed to be repaired.

His time in Alkenstar was punctuated with sadness however as a letter from home finally reached him, telling him of his parents passing in a mysterious fire in their home. It was with a heavy heart that he abandoned his new tutelage in the arts of Gunsmithing and returned home to see to their affairs.

Gorin wears a heavily repaired but smart and functional set of Studded leather armour, over tough but breathable clothing. Around his neck sits a braided silver torc with a stylized dragon design inlaid in the ends. Atop his head sit a pair of battered goggles.
His hands, arms and torso bear the marks of many burn scars, from his days in the Forge. He sports a large tattoo of the holy symbol of Torag, across his back.

Gorin is rarely seen without a cigar clamped between his teeth.

Constructed For the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as a ranger's favored enemy and bane weapons), androids count as both humanoids and constructs. Androids gain a +4 racial bonus on all saving throws against mind-affecting effects, paralysis, poison, and stun effects, are not subject to fatigue or exhaustion, and are immune to disease and sleep effects. Androids can never gain morale bonuses, and are immune to fear effects and all emotion-based effects.

Emotionless Androids have problems processing emotions properly and thus take a -4 penalty on Sense Motive checks.

Finesse Training (Ex) At 1st level, a rogue gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat. In addition, starting at 3rd level, she can select any one type of weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse (such as rapiers or daggers). Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. Whenever she makes a successful melee attack with the selected weapon, she adds her Dexterity modifier instead of her Strength modifier to the damage roll. If any effect would prevent the rogue from adding her Strength modifier to the damage roll, she does not add her Dexterity modifier. The rogue can select a second weapon at 11th level and a third at 19th level.

Immunity to Disease (Ex) You are never subject to disease effects.

Immunity to Emotion Effects (Ex) You are never affected by emotion-based effects.

Immunity to Exhaustion (Ex) You can never be exhausted.

Immunity to Fatigue (Ex) You can never be fatigued.

Immunity to Fear (Ex) You are never subject to fear effects.

Immunity to Sleep (Ex) You are never subject to sleep effects.

Nanite Surge An android's body is infused with nanites. Once per day as an immediate action, an android can cause her nanites to surge, granting a bonus of +4 on any one roll which must be activated before the roll is made. This ability causes the android's circuitry tattoos to glow equivalent to a torch for 1 round.

Skills
Sneak Attack (Ex) If you can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from your attack, you can strike a vital spot for extra damage. Your attack deals 1d6 points of extra damage anytime your target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC, or when you flank your target. Should you score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet. With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage, you can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. You cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual -4 penalty. You must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. You cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.

Trapfinding (Ex) You add +1 to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks. You can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magical traps.

Two-Weapon Fighting You can spend any number of stamina points to reduce the penalty from Two-Weapon Fighting on attacks made with a weapon in your primary hand by 1 for every 2 stamina points you spent. This benefit lasts until the start of your next turn. You can't reduce the penalty below 0.

Weapon Finesse You can spend 2 stamina points to negate the penalty on attack rolls from your shield's armor check penalty until the start of your next turn.

Her knowledge of what she was to find was maddeningly incomplete though.

Since then Mara has wandered Numeria, thinking that something or someone will trigger her mission and she can complete it.

She has learned to conceal her Android nature, seemingly a pleasant young woman, though this is fake. Mara has simply learned that it is easier to travel if she can pass as a human.

She acts normal, even though she still has great difficulty understanding peoples emotions and motivations.

Her constant explorations, and searching of ruins has given her valuable skills at trapfinding,stealth and lockpicking.

Hearing that the flame has gone out in Torch Mara considers this an interesting disruption in normal routine, perhaps something has changed, or emerged that can help her discover her mission?

Bones! always with the bones... shiny and white, pearly and clean. this one was Dimble, he was a hunter. this one was Frani, our best trapper. Here are the brothers Stern and Wivin, they where just idiots.

OOC: gringe was the young soon-to-be shaman of a kobold tribe. unfortunately for her, the Technic League decided to test out some newly discovered weapons on her tribe. she was the lone survivor, mostly out of luck. being a hedonistic, she had drank far too much the night before and had passed out a few miles away. when she woke, she found her tribe in ruins. now she travels the lands seeking revenge against these "fire-gun-men". she carries the bones of several of her tribe-mates. they decorate her like jewelry, and she claims they talk to her. (she's a little off the rocker). she's actually the reincarnation of a very white powerful dragon, she just doesn't know it. because of her former life as a dragon, she has a desire to enjoy luxury. she sleeps constantly, drinks to excess, and enjoys the pleasure of company if she can get it. and like her former life she hoards objects... just not valuable ones.

Maxwell Silver is from the small town of Habersfield, which no longer exists. It was, as Max describes, "lifted into the air, and folded over, and-and-and dissolved into the infinite cosmos"

Max witnessed the "Gravitational Anomaly" at a young age. It was a traumatic experience, and has twisted his mind and perception of reality (well, so has his voracious appetite for mind-altering substances). He is now a tremendously paranoid conspiracy theorist, fearing an overbearing and treacherous (and possibly fictional) shadow government. He sees spies and cultists in every shadow, and around every corner.

If asked about the Gravitational Anomaly, Maxwell becomes very upset and begins ranting about every terrible things he witnessed that day.

His studies and investigations have led him to the theory that the Dread Cult of Xalghul is responsible for the destruction of his hometown. Recent rumors have led him to the town of Torch, where there is supposed to be an active branch of the cult.

On the way to Torch, he has hired a Dwarven gunslinger named Gorin Ironblind to protect him from the Cult of Xalghul.

Oddly enough, his teeth are pearly white. He keeps immaculate care of them, often obsessing over his dental hygiene for hours.

He dresses in a long, dark duster and hat. The inside of the duster is lined with various investigation tools. He has a cane on his hip, it is rough, as if he carved it himself, and has writing in very small notes all down the length of it.

He carries on his hip a large formula book, which is filled with hastily scribbled alchemic formulas and notes on his latest theories in regards to the shadow government.
