We've yet to see posts from our Skald, or our Wilder, we can probably hang back for now, chat til they come on I say.
Also, I'm digging Kavaks backstory and appearance sections. So deep bruh.
| Devic Zaitsev |
Yeah, working on that >.<
Hoping to explore some of it in these conversations.
Maybe we can work on that here too. He seems like a nice guy so far, where did he learn all that smart guy stuff? Devic was self taught and happened to be in a good place to get new totally-legal-I-swear things to take apart and put back together, for example.
Edit: Also between posts, Imma add a bit of info on Devics family, since Ratfolk are based on rats, and rats have lots of kids, it'll probably take a while.

Well, Kavak was born in a goblin enclave established in some caves on the Iran-Irak border where they managed to subsist on occasional raids and a strange kind of cave fungus. He was supposed to be the next shaman but he was decidedly more neutral than what was required. His lack of aggression and his weak body relegated him to a low place among the other young goblins and he was further hampered by the verbally passed down hatred for letters, he could not fully exercise his intellect as much as he needed. It was a rough and brutal life. To escape the realities of his situation he tended to sneak up to the surface and watch the skies on cloudless nights.
It continued with little difference day in and day out until evil machinations created conflict between Iraq and Iran. The conflicts were engineered by evil outsiders on both sides of the border and the magical and modern armaments used rendered much of the area inhospitable. Eventually a battle was raged just above ground. The magic and mundane shelling caused the cave system to begin collapsing and Kavak made it out, to his knowledge he was the sole survivor. Thus he was allowed to see the celestial host up close as they descended to scour the surface clean of corruption with their holy magic, having finally had enough and ending the conflict by taking a more direct approach via various loopholes like the requests for miracles.
Suffused by the holy magic Kavak noticed that he was beginning to change. He was growing more intelligent, he was feeling healthier, and eventually he flew, as if by accident. He had travelled on his own for a while, clothed in remnants of the uniforms left at the battle and after managing to find something valuable he set towards civilization. His first encounters were rocky, to say the least, but he persevered, and took to living on the road, always headed someplace else. Eventually he ended up in Japan and he has stayed there since, only leaving when he found the letter in his apartment. The story of his years in Japan can wait until later (read; until I have nailed it down), but they are chiefly responsible for his abilities and learned state.

Oh, just to let you know, I don't look like an Aasimar. I took the Scion of Humanity alternate racial trait which makes me look like a regular human since my godly ancestry is very distant. As far as everybody other than me is concerned I'm just a very talented human musician.

Felt it'd be more fun for the party to know about Yelis than otherwise. For now, they probably don't know he can take multiple forms. (Most kitsune can only take one, after all.)
Psst... your alias is showing.

But really… how do you know who the alias is?
What would be funny is if you had an alias for each of Yelis's different forms.

Also, I meant you're last post was done as you not Yelis.
Unless you are yelis...
I may have been. There;s no way to be sure.

How does one make a youtube playlist? Never done it before.
Log in to YouTube. In the top left-hand corner, there will be a menu icon. Click on it, and select Playlists. You can make 'em from there!

Look what I made! She doesn't know what they're saying, but it sounds cool!

Yelis is using his 1/day Detect Law SLA. Anybody with an alignment aura of law (e.g. Paladin, Cleric of a lawful deity, etc.) or 5HD+ and a lawful alignment shows up.
Still ironing out some details regarding his character sheet, but I'll try'n get that finished up soon.
Also, I love Rakshasas. Sorry if I'm giving the GM ideas, but Rakshasa crime lord kingpins are too cool to pass up. (If it's not the case, that Yelis is just grossly mislead by Hollywood gangster movies. That's what he gets for limited Knowledge ranks.)
