I'm unfamiliar with the game mechanics of Savage World, but I do like Conan and the Age of Hyboria. Here's a character concept for a "tank" with a bit of culture (being from Aquilonia). I scanned the game thread and saw that the PCs are currently in Shem.

Septimilius, a bounty hunter from Aquilonia. He’s patient and perceptive. He prefers to claim his bounty by taking the person unaware, yet when he does have to fight (especially facing two or three people) he attempts to parry and defend until he gets a person in a favorable position to strike. He’s successful more often than not claiming a bounty.

A rich merchant hired Septimilius to recover his son that joined a cult in Shem. He accepted the contract knowing that it would be a difficult journey from Tarantia, but the rewards outweighed the risk. Plus the easier contracts were taken by senior bounty hunters, so this was the best of the choices available to him.

Appearance: 5’10” with the bulk of a gladiator. Brown hair. Hazel eyes. When he smiles, it’s clear he’s lost an upper left premolar. While on a job: faded blue linen shirt. Gray linen pants. A backpack with rope, hand manacles, and dry rations.

If you (or the other PCs) have any questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to raise them.

I'll get your character knocked out this weekend as well.

Thanks!


Septimilius is ready for play, so far as I can tell. I'm working on the background a bit more to incorporate Theodorus.


Septimilius

Spoiler:

Great. I'm taking a little literary license to get you into the story here. While tracking down leads for your quarry, you were hired by a pair of brothers to help escort some of their caravans. While the one brother...Otto drew the short straw, and had to travel for the goods, the younger (And Fatter) brother Turel was able to stay in Messantia, and make arrangements to travel to pick up the goods. You...thinking your quarry was in Messantia, joined up with the brother Turel. Though a few clues to the location of your target suggest he has taken to ground in the City, you have been tasked with escorting Turel to Belthaar, and join Otto, and the other guards to bring back the money from selling the goods.

Unfortunately, things as usual didn't work out as planned. When you arrive in Belthaar, you find One of the guards is not to be found, and one is packing up his things to leave. Temugai...the guard preparing to leave tells the new arrivals of the other guards plans to rescue Otto. Turel promises Septimilus a bonus if he can help find Otto, and bring him back safely.

So, Septimilus approaches the square of the Peacock, looking for the other two faithful servants.

From here welcome to the game thread.


Viluki...Still interested???

If not we still have one opening for this fun Conan adventure...


Ongoing Savage Conan game could use another player, experience with Savage World preferred but not necessary, and I'll assist with character generation if required. This is a fun game, with three good players, and a great story, but we could use one more to help move things along.


Bump


I’m one of the players in the game and have no experience with Savage Worlds. If you’re not familiar with the game rules, don’t let that stop you from applying. I gave the GM a concept of the character and background. The GM did all the work concerning abilities, skills, and other mechanical issues.


Could still use another player...This one is getting interesting.


Hey there scranford!

Been lurking around this thread for sometime, almost pulling the trigger earlier.

Too many ideas come to mind with the Hyperborea setting...but the one that resounds most strongly is a thiefy spy type.

However, I'd be willing to accomodate whatever need the current party sees a need for.


Hi...Thanks for replying.

That character would be fine with what we've got. I don't know if you've read the whole game thread, but there are opportunities for spy's from several factions.

Do you want assistance with character generation, or are you good?

Thanks, and looking forward to your input.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Hi, I'm newish to Savage Worlds, but I enjoy the system a lot. Do you still have room for another player?

Also what does the group need?

Sure 5 players if fine.

We currently have a Sorcerer, a Pirate, and a bounty hunter, and Spazmodeus is thinking thief/spy.

We could probably use a knowledge type scholar; priest (If you choose this option, you will be a sorcerer as there is no divine magic) or be a priest with no magic; an Entertainer/courtier; or really anything that suits your fancy.


Sure, I can be scholarly. Let me get home from work and I'll shoot you an idea for a character.


Wow, the rules on languages are brutal. Does the party have a common language?

I believe everyone took Aquilonian.

Don't forget we're using the Pathfinder Knowledge skills, with the only additional one (AT this point) being Knowledge: Legends (Or something like that). You get a free skill point at level one for each die type...d4 = 2, d6=3, d8=4 etc.

I think everyone also got the same for languages.

I'll probably let you guys take two advances to be closer to the PC's, but the adjustments come from the Savage Conan document which makes the PC's a little more powerful anyway.


Do you mean for every die level in "smarts"? Like say if I took a d10 in Smarts I would start off with an extra 5 skill points?

Can I go ahead and move to the discussion tab so I can introduce myself? It would be helpful if I could coordinate with the players.

Yes to all of the above.


Recruiting for one more character for fun Savage Worlds Conan game. No SW experience necessary, but it would be helpful. Campaign Info should give you what you need to present a concept. If desired I can create your character for you once you present me with a concept.
