Already have commitments from others and looking for additional pax to round out the group. Team lacks divine, arcane and someone who can take care of the sneaky/thieving stuff (be it an actual rogue or someone who has rogue like abilities through class or traits). Team interaction is more important than min/maxing to me.
Stats:
to add to the randomness I rolled up the stats to use through the Hero Labs die roller and ended up with these numbers: 15, 15, 14, 13, 12, 8, which equates to a 24 point buy. You have to use these stats without altering them except for racial adjustments. You are lvl 1 and are not as powerful as you would like to be but you will gain power if worthy...and your worthiness starts at the escape
Races:
*core races, featured races plus Kitsune, Nagaji, Wayang, and Vishkanya
* pick wisely since you may not get all the items you think you are getting if you have previous knowledge.
*alternate racial traits allowed. alternate heritages allowed, alternate racial abilities NOT allowed.
Other Character Creation info:
*two traits- no campaign traits (given later so think about your crime). Drawbacks allowed and may be the reason you ended up in the brig.
* Classes- no occult or vigilante classes as i do not own those references. No guns so no gunslingers.
* starting gear- rags. No other clothing or gear. This includes spellbooks, holy symbols, bonded items, etc. This also includes familiars, mounts, and animal companions.
* 2 extra skill points per level.
* No leadership feat. you are the minions.
please make submissions fleshed out and I will make the selection on the 5th for a start on the 8th or earlier if possible.
I had a slayer ready for a game of this that fell through. I would love to be able to use her!
Backstory:
Carol lead a simple life growing up, only child of a wealthy merchant famaly. Neither spoild nor neglected, happy nor sad she was...to put it simply... Bored. So, on the day of her 18th birthday she decided that it was time to Leave.
She said her goodbyes and left out on her own... With half the family's valuables in her pack. Having tryed to get away with this I. So blatant a way had,of course, gotten her caugbt. She spent 10 years after she got out roaming from city to city until, finaly she found herself in a situation without the ability to get away... At least... Not on her own
(sorry for the off topic comment, but is that name *Umbungo* from a certain youtube series?)
Nope. Senor Umbungo was the name of a character I played in the old multiplayer mod for GTA Vice City. He was named after the drink (which I think is actually spelt Umbongo).
The character I want to play is delusional. He was a soldier at the palace that convinced himself that he and Princess Belinda were in love and he attempted to show that love when they were caught by the kings guards.
In his eyes the king unjustly threw him in prison to keep them apart.
As you can guess the reality is much more unseemly. In reality he was drunkenly trying to take advantage of her.
A fallen Aasimar (though you wouldn't know to look at her) who spends her time subtly spreading the word of Asmodeus and planning for the day when true order comes to Talingarde.
Planning on making her a very casting oriented cleric, focusing on enchantment and summoning devils. She'd make a good face too. I'll either stick with the evangelist cleric throughout, or take some levels in the diabolist prestige class.
here is the story for my anti-paladin of Asmodeous.
background:
Jet black hair, Vibrant Green eyes, 6'3" 245 pounds of muscle.
born from an elf mother, and a mighty angel general of Iomedea, the angel kin Child Cedric was lost in the wilds. He was found as a babe by a farmer on the edge of the woods, but the child was not crying nor was he malnourished or feeble. In fact, he was quite full of life, and energy, almost emitting a golden glow. The farmer took the child in as a son. Cedric lived a happy life as a farmer’s son, learning the till and the trade, a good life, a humble life. But not all was to remain, for soon after his ninth birthday the small village was attacked by foul demons. The child watched on as his father, mother and brothers were slain trying to defend him and his sisters from the beasts. When the beasts turned there foul heads towards the young boy he did not flee, he did not cry, he stood tall in the face of death for not fear ruled his heart, but anger, a burning fury. His adoptive father would have been proud. Alas naught but a child there was little he could do, and surely he was doomed but, at the last moment a trumpet sounded and several knights in gleaming armor charged into the battle, their glimmering armor shining bright through the smoke, fire, and darkness. never seeming to become fouled with the blood of the demons and Before the demon could strike the killing blow a sparkling sword as bright as sunlight burst through it from behind and it dissipated back into the depths of hell from which it had come. With the threat seemingly gone, and all his strength drained the boy fainted, but was looked upon with seeing eyes. That day the head master of the paladin order of the holy light took on a protégé for he had seen a fire burning in the child’s eyes as he had bravely stood his ground. He had seen a greatness in him yet to come. The child was trained thenceforth under the tutelage of headmaster Rorek Rossburg. It was in these hallowed halls that the boys true parentage was made clear, his father, an angel of epic power spoke to him in a dream. He told Cedric of the good he would bring, of the light he, with his father's aid, would bring to the darkness. Together, they would stamp out evil and corruption from the land. This had always been the angels intent. To create a champion of mortals. Fused with his holy blood.
Where there is darkness darker than night, I shall bring a shining light. Where despair, suffering, and oppression run rampant, I shall bring a mighty hope. When demons and undead run amok, I shall bring them to heel. When Evil threatens the world, I shall stand against the tide. When all hope is gone and evil has seemingly won, I shall stand strong. Where tyranny reigns free and tyrants oppress the people, I shall bring freedom. Where sin and evil run rampant, I shall bring redemption. Where disease, death, and strife are present, I shall bring relief. Never Shall I yield, never shall I waver, and never shall I falter. I am the sword of justice, the hammer of the righteous, the shield of the people. I am a warrior of the holy light, and evil shall fear my name. It cannot run, it cannot hide, and it shall not best me. This is my oath, my vow, my life, be I live by it, or die by it. I, am a Paladin.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans for this would be savior.
He would move to a different kingdom, in hopes of aiding the suffering there and, for a great time he was a champion of good, if not on the field of battle, in the courts and politics of government seeking to end corruption and bring about a way for the people to lead themselves, for there good. He took a wife, the love of his life whom he had met within the church and had one son. Alas, the corruption of the Nobles within the kingdom was far greater than he, or anyone, knew. One fateful day an assassination attempt was made on him and his family. He and his son survived, but his wife did not. It was this day he attempted to lead a revolution, seeking the aid of the church and the people. He was cast out of the church who had been shown, He was told his path lead to destruction, pain, misery and death. Shocked, from being abandoned so wrongly he denounced his order, and turned instead towards the people of the kingdom. But instead of turning on the nobles whom were oppressing them, they, in there greed attempted to capture Cedric and turn him over for the bounty that had been placed on him that morning. The nobles had claimed him an outlaw, murderer, and a fraud, and the people ate it up. Disheartened, abandoned, Shunned, outlawed, and broken, he collected what he could from his home before it was seized. It was at this point Cedric came to the realization that the common man cannot be trusted to govern themselves, that humans and other mortals alike are all fallible, and that the gods care not about the workings of men. His entire moral code, his perception of life, all of it was shattered in one day. Before he left the kingdom, he returned to the order and struck down all within, before leaving he denounced Iomeadea and Sarenae. Cedric concluded that in order for the best good to come, he himself would have to rule, that he alone should be trusted with the power to form laws, that he alone was worthy. The man he had been, the man he was meant to be, all but disappeared that day. He was caught soon after by a group of knights of Mitra being lead by one of his childhood friends. They captured them, and when the boy resisted, killed him on the spot for being "Devil's Spawn". At the trial in mitra, Cedric's anguish and despair turned to anger, and hate. At the words of the court, the one he himself Had served in for so long, He was sentenced to the salt mines. For weeks he let his hatred fester, until one day he heard a sinnister, and deep voice in the dark.
I come with tiding for you, I am sent from Asmodeous, He wishes to make a deal with you. He offers you freedom, and power, power enough to escape this place and bring the world to heel. All you must do is serve him, champion his name, and bring about order and tyranny to those who need, nay, want it. Whether they know it or not. It is after all, for there own good.
He heard a distant voice. A voice he remembered from when he was a paladin. It was his fathers voice, distant and faint. A begging voice, pleading Cedric to refuse, to return to the light. But Cedric had had enough of the lies, the falsity. He wasn't who he had been, he was a broken man.
His father, the angel then appeared with heartbreak in his eyes stated he would slay his son before he saw him fall so far.
Cedric pondered only a moment, He embraced the deal, He signed the blood pact, and as soon as he did he felt dark power surge through him, once again he was a force to be feared. It was with this raw surge of desecrsted power that he slew his angelic father. With one blow, infused with the unholy might of Asmodeous he slew his father before he could react. With not but tears in his eyes, the angels last words were "I have failed you". Cedric felt nothing as the angels body disappeared, only a cold anger, and a distant dream of ending conflicts in the lands, for all would obey him. There were people who he needed payback, after all and many more in need of a master. Now... only to escape
Looks good Indescribable, it may have been his charisma which offended his target of lust.
Looks good Nidjena- an assimar with claws...new for me.
cool guy- i take it he is an aasimar? and that you switched from arcanist to anti-paladin? let me know when he is complete so i can review the stats and traits etc.
just waiting on wireless tyrant for his sorcerer and it seems the group will be all set.
once wireless finishes his submission the group will be all set. for now i consider recruitment closed unless one of the five above pull out. start fleshing out what crime you did to get caught and building your alias profile. you will start out weak and battered and a little bruised but you shall gain power if worthy.

Goals: to reign over the land. After all, its obvious that these people can't look after themselves. They need a strong ruler, and Cedric can deliver....
other than the need to dominate people, and the occasional destructive swathe of devastation, he isn't TOO bad. I mean, he kills demons just as quickly as he does angels...*evil grin*
I was wondering if I could roll for the aasimar alt. racial stuff? or if that is part of the ban.
i saw shield bash on your character sheet and assumed. no worries
as for fleshed out, i have enough of yours, just need to get the others.
@cool guy- alternate racial traits yes, alternate racial abilities- no. also you should have 4 skill points.
As for her crime, Nidjena has spent a lot of time converting the faithful and corrupting the youth, so I'd imagine she's being tried as a heretic. She also did a bit of vandalism to a church, but she thinks she got away with that.
i will set up the thread later on today for those still with us. Let me know you are still willing to go to jail and I will start your backstory on what transpired.
derpidruid, umbungo, indescribable, and coolguy (if you are still with us) dot in on the discussion thread with the requested info. No word from tyrant.
Looking for an additional Way of the Wicked campaign replacement player for someone who dropped off. The group is still trying to escape the prison so still early.
Crime is handled by trait, but the GM is encouraged by the path to work with players who want different crimes. So you'll have to talk to him, but I can tell you if your crime is in the book.
