Appearance:
Wulfric is 6’ tall and weighs close to 200lbs. He has tanned skin and like most of his people considers a full head of hair a weakness in combat. The right part of his face bears a tatoo which according to tribal shamans makes his eyes sharper and hardens his bodys resistance (eyes of a hawk... and all that good stuff).

Background:
To be recognized as an adult in wulfric’s tribe,a youth must pass a rite of passage where he has to make a pilgrimage to the 5 ancient thassilonian monoliths near his village. After reaching the 5th monolith, wulfric encountered an old shaonti warrior bearing a gigantic hammer almost twice his height. The old warrior has been tracking a group of hill giants for the past 4 days... and based from their tracks these giants were headed for wulfrics village.

The giants have already left the village, killing almost all of the villagers, when wulfric and the old man arrived. The survivors informed them that the giants killed the tribe’s shaman after taking an ancient stone tablet from him. Due to the devastation caused by the giants to the village. The old man, who was called “Storm Forger” decided to stay and help protect the survivors. It was during this time that Wulfric aswell as a handful of the other youths in the tribe learned the ways of the titan mauler from him.

After a year, the village has almost recovered from the giant attack and Storm Forger decided that it was time to leave. But before he left he bestowed on each of his students their full names, Wulfric became “Red Hammer”. It was around this time that wulfric learned that the stone tablet stolen by the giants bear the location of several ancient “wells” of power. Packing his weapons and gear, Wulfric started his journey to one of those locations... a small town called Sandpoint.

This is Tim Woodhams from earlier. Developed and altered idea quite a lot the basic background is similar (all in alias). What do you think?

Looks great. I like how you used the alternate race traits to make him a different kind of elf and it looks like he could be fun to see develop.

just realized I don't have a campaign trait...

Shoanti Tribesman is a Varisian regional trait though
is that sufficient?

Please swap out for Exile.

Definately interested, have been waiting to find a Rotrl game for ages so i will be submitting a palading to the group. Im thinking either a dual wield or a tanking one (sacred shield awsomeness), which would you prefer GM?

Thanks for switching classes later. I am rather fond of the paladin that’s already been sumbited.

It is with great pleasure that I now present: Xogar. A half-orc paladin redeemer/warrior of the holy light.

DM Mathpro, would you be so kind as to look over my character and tell me what you think? I had a sudden burst of inspiration and put it all to paper and this is what I came up with for a background. I am very fond of it. The crunch is also done too.

You're the Paladin I was talking in my above comment. I really like this character and really look forward to seeing it develop if I end up choosing him. Not to be unfair to the others but...I'm leaning your way for a spot in the party.

Appearance:
Obviously short and slight, Vin has hair literally the color of gold, and bright sapphire eyes. His skin is pale with a slight warm tone to it. Unlike most gnomes, he dresses simply in drab olives and browns; his clothing is obviously more for comfort in the wilderness than for show. Pouches and pockets are scattered throughout his wardrobe, containing various inks, pens, notebooks, whittling knives and materials. He fidgets restlessly and speaks quickly, and seems to have a keen interest in most anything around him.
Background:
Like many gnomes, Vinderbenjin (Vin to his friends) keenly feels his hereditary connection to the First World. His curious and risky nature leads him to continually push the limits of the magic he has inherited through his bloodline.

Vin is goodhearted, and he tends to avoid many of the 'pranks' his kin play on the larger races; his wanderlust has led him to associate with many other peoples throughout Varisia, and although he is by no means serious, he prefers to get along with people larger and stronger than he.

When he was an adolescent, Vin was the victim of a strange, wasting illness. The sickness left him physically weak, though he does not generally fall prey to other maladies. However, he often has trouble with his physical strength and prefers to avoid serious manual labor or heavy tasks.

Vin's curosity has long included Thessalonia, and when he is not whittling or practicing spellcasting, his nose is buried in a history book. Much of his wanderlust is fueled by a desire to see Thessalonian ruins, as he feels there much be some connection between ancient Thessalonia and the First World. He has come to Sandpoint to rest and re-equip, not realizing he is about to be swept up into events that might sate even his curiosity . . .

Traits
Scholar of the Ancients: +1 Knowledge(Arcana & History), Read & Speak Thassilonian
Maestro of the Society: +3 Rounds of Bardic Performance

Class
Weapon & Armor Proficiencies: Pronto is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the longsword, rapier, sap, shortsword, shortbow, and whip. He is also proficient with light armor and shields (except tower shields). Pronto can cast bard spells while wearing light armor and using a shield without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance.

Bardic Knowledge: Pronto adds half his class level (minimum 1) to all Knowledge skill checks and may make all Knowledge skill checks untrained.

Archaeologist's Luck (Ex): Fortune favors the archaeologist. As a swift action, Pronto can call on fortune’s favor, giving him a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. He can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + his Charisma modifier. Maintaining this bonus is a free action, but it ends immediately if he is killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. Archaeologist’s luck is treated as bardic performance for the purposes of feats, abilities, effects, and the like that affect bardic performance. Like bardic performance, it cannot be maintained at the same time as other performance abilities. This bonus increases to +2 at 5th level, +3 at 11th level, and +4 at 17th level.

Spells Known
Cantrips (DC13): Daze, Detect Magic, Message, Read Magic

The background for Denidiel Fallenwillow is in post 20 of this thread

Pronto was born in the friendly village of Nybor, unique in its acceptance of half-breeds His parents, both half-orcs, did not want their son to be limited by the expectations placed upon all half-orcs. They worked themselves into an early grave to afford a tudor to educate their son in academics. The ancient kingdom of Thassilon would be the focus of most of his studies.

The private lessons ended after his parent's funeral. Seeking the next step in his education he sets out to Absalom to join the Pathfinder Society. And gain access to their extensive records. He travelled with a Varisian caravan to Korvosa where he arranged for passage by sea to the Absalom. The journey opened his eyes to how people in the world viewed half-orcs. It wasn't until then that he understood his parents.

Upon landing at Absalom Pronto headed directly to the Grand Lodge. He completed the application process with ease, and was made an initiate of the society. For three long years he toiled between those walls. After the third year came the final test of Confirmation, one last hurdle before becoming an official pathfinder. Nothing could stand in his way, so he thought. He was assigned to infiltrate and chronicle Chorak's Tomb located on a tiny island in Lake Skotha in Varisia. An easy enough task, except that anyone who approaches the island is swiftly destroyed by boulders or rune carved ballista bolts.

Pronto bartered passage for a ship bound for Magnimar. Then travels along the coast to a little village called Sandpoint. He decided to stay a few days as they seemed to be preparing for some grand affair. What could go wrong?

As a young halfling growing up in Sandpoint, Bert's cleverness and outgoing nature seemed to make him a natural for a bardic career, and his family sent him off to apprentice at an informal bard's college in Magnimar. Unfortunately, he really didn't care much for music of any sort, even the common party songs of his people. He was definitely interested in bardic knowledge, and his grasp of the arcane side of the field was not lacking, but when it came time to practice music he couldn't be bothered to keep his mind on the task. He would borrow books on history from the library and smuggle them into classes, he'd skive off practicing, and (worst of all, from his family's point of view) he'd hang out with all sorts of disreputable elements, picking up the basics of what under other circumstances might have made him into a decent rogue. But his real interests lay elsewhere. Magnimar was filled with great monuments, and all around Varisia were the ruins of ancient Thassilon; Bert spent a great deal of time studying them as best he could--among other things, trying to find out the role that halflings played in the time of the Runelords. Whenever he'd go home, he'd inevitably end up spending time listening wide-eyed to Brodert Quink's more fevered historical speculations, a habit which did not sit well with his parents. He was personable enough to avoid repercussions for his transgressions for some time, but eventually his luck ran out and his glib tongue couldn't save him. After being kicked out of the bardic college, he made his way back home, dreading what his reception would be. As luck would have it, he arrived in Sandpoint just in time for the Swallowtail Festival...which meant that the time of reckoning with his family could be postponed for another few hours. And who knows what might happen in a few hours?

Despite his pathological disinterest in music, Bert nevertheless feels as though he's disappointed his family by his failure. He dreamed of making some great discovery and returning home in glory. (If he can prove that halflings were more than second-class citizens--at best--in any of the great ancient empires, so much the better; racial pride is a fundamental part of his makeup.)
