Deadline is just in a few minutes! I'll be making a few final decisions and posting the cast list shortly after that. Final adjustments should hurry up.
Please accept the application of Ruce Vayne, with his tongue firmly planted in cheek. I know you said know Eastern weapons, but the background brought it from Tien. I accept that he would never be able to purchase any more Eastern weapons.

Ruce Vayne was the son of wealthy alchemist Tomas and Artha Vayne. The Vayne family descended from the first Chelish pioneers and settlers and grew to significant wealth. Artha was an Arkona, a second cousin to Glorio Arkona. Ruce had a privileged life of wealth and loving parents until they were murdered in front of his own eyes. When he was nine, he accompanied his parents to a popular play. But the play's sinister plot scared young Ruce, so he and his parents exited the rear of theater into a dimly lit alley. There they were accosted by a masked man who knifed his parents, stole their jewelry and cash, and left Ruce crying over their bodies. The Korvosan Guard never found the murderer. His father’s foreign-born alchemy partner Bao continued to raise Ruce in privileged wealth but detected something dark in the boy’s soul. First, born of hero-worship of Blackjack, revenge deeply rooted itself within Ruce.
Within a few years, Ruce’s fortune was in jeopardy from lawyers, so Bao liquidated as much as he could and set sail for his homeland of Lingshen on Tian Xia with Ruce. They settled in Xiwu. At fifteen, Ruce heard the stories of the shadow warriors who exacted revenge at a price. Ruce, then knew what he wanted. After another year, his efforts to persuade Bao succeeded, and Ruce was apprenticed to a shadow warrior.
Ten years later, Ruce Vayne and Bao have recently returned to Korvoso as alchemists reopening his father’s alchemy shop. They renamed it the “Dragon’s Den” with distinctly Tien decorations. While Ruce maintains the comfortable Chelish face to their customers, Bao actually does the work crafting alchemy, because at night Ruce hunts for information. He recently found his mother’s ring for sale. When he purchased it, he found that the merchant had purchased it from Gaedran Lamm.
Now, he searches for Gaedran Lamm for revenge.
Please accept the application of Ruce Vayne, with his tongue firmly planted in cheek. I know you said know Eastern weapons, but the background brought it from Tien. I accept that he would never be able to purchase any more Eastern weapons.

I hope you realize that character is Batman. Was that on purpose or do you just read so many comics that his person is implanted into your brain? XD
The deadline has passed!
This decision has been very hard, and I absolutely adore you folks' abilities to create memorable characters. I'm sorry to those that did not get picked, and I hope you bring much joy to your gaming tables.
Without further delay, my selections!
-Goffred Guilianoff, the lawyerly void wizard!
-Nostrum, the extremely confused Rovagug proponent!
-Akiki, the very reluctantly heroic elf!
-Thaven Jack, the recovering shiver-addict Marine!
-Raijin, the broken Tiefling magus!
Good luck to you, players. Please use this alternative thread, as I seem to have broken this one: The new Gameplay/Discussion Thread
Have fun everyone
Have fun, everyone!
Drat I knew the backstory was too long.
have fun guys
Ah, well. Just a bit slow with my update probably. Oh well. Life happens. Have a good game all.
Congrats to those accepted. And have fun XD
Congrats for the ones accepted.
Darn it, I should have rolled better stats, would have got me accepted :)
To those who were not picked, well, at least you have terrific characters to pitch to other GMs. To Nostrum, Akiki, Thaven Jack, Raijin, congratulations! I dunno about you all, but I eagerly await the IC thread.

Of course. That was the point. The campaign trait seemed appropriate. And your character mix didn't have a sneaky bastard.
I'm reading Grant Morrison's Supergods and reread The Dark Knight Returns for the 87th time after he described it.
Have fun

I dunno if you noticed, but it's located somewhere else XD The thread is here cause I broke the gameplay tab on this URL.
