ONCE MORE INTO THE ABYSS!

Squeezing in my application at the last minute here, sorry... I'd be very interested in joining this campaign, I am a huge fan of the Planescape setting and I have read & enjoyed your Out of the Abyss campaign thread so I feel like I know you'll be a good DM :^)
This would be my first experience with PbP, although I have played a lot of 5e face to face, and have wanted to try PbP for a while.

Aurienne Harcourt
Lawful Good Aasimar Wizard (Planning on Divination school)
Faction: Fraternity of Order

Ability Scores: STR 11 / DEX 14 / CON 11 / INT 15 / WIS 9 / CHA 15
Skills: Arcana, History, Investigation, Religion

Personality:
Aurienne was born in The Lady's Ward in Sigil, to a well-off family. Her human parents doted on their daughter, viewing the birth of an aasimar as a divine blessing to their family. At a young age she discovered a love for books, and dedicated herself to reading & learning everything she could about the world. Her conviction is that knowledge is power -- that the best way to improve the multiverse for others is to understand how things work, inside and out, and leverage that knowledge to the benefit of everyone. With such a philosophy it only made sense for her to join the Guvners, and it was through faction connections that she first began to learn magic.

One of her personal quirks is her obsession with divine signs and portents -- she is always looking out for minor occurrences and trying to interpret them as having some grand meaning for the future (after all, everything has to have its own lawful place in the order of things). She has spent very little time outside of Sigil because she feels she hasn't yet learned enough about the city, but is more than willing to travel if she has the opportunity to obtain new knowledge, or if she is needed somewhere else. Her biggest flaw is her naivete -- she's spent so much time buried in her books that she is somewhat sheltered, and despite her aspiration to do good hasn't faced serious adversity yet.

FYI - I cleaned up some grammar and bad autocorrects in Wyaph Cloudrunner. Sorry I didn't review it earlier.

Wyaph Cloudrunner

Coming in just under the wire, Zan Tirish, human Cipher ranger. Zan is a quiet and instinct-driven traveler. She will likely multiclass into monk. See profile for background, description, etc.!

hmphm, me, an inadequate wizard. The Nerve, Poppycock I say! I'm quite accomplished. Tally-ho and all that hmhm.

Well, technically Zethaya transcended the transcendent order.

What does 'prime' mean?

What does 'prime' mean?

Slang for someone who comes from the Prime Material Plane (e.g. Greyhawk Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, etc.). Usually pejorative as "Primes" are assumed to be clueless about how the planes work.

I would think of Aerin as a planar; being from Ysgard originally he is aware of how the planes function and fit together. Factionwise, he is a Sensate, though I only mentioned that outside the background provided. Not that it should matter too much in terms of game play.

"Clueless" is generally the pejorative. Prime and planar are just descriptors noting where someone is from. If I recall correctly, generally all the standard races are considered prime unless otherwise noted. But it's been a bit since I read through the old Planescape stuff (only read through the adventures that I've translated more recently).

You can be a prime and still have solid knowledge of the planes. IIRC, in the old days there were even spells which affected each group a little differently. But if you're brand new to the planes, you're a clueless Berk. :)

1) The Orc next door - dragonborn wizard, prime
2) Ken Marable - Barriar fighter, godsman

5) Balec93 - human mystic, free league
6) Threeshades - human warlock, planar
7) Mercurion - Air Genasi Bard, planar
8) Jereru - Human Barbarian, prime
9) Ragnadrok - Human Fighter, Soldier
10) Atlas2112 - Human Cleric, Acyte
11) Devis - Human Warlock, Bleaker
12) Baticeer - Aasimar Wizard, Frat of Order
13) Jesse Heinig - Human Ranger, Transcendent Order
