Just have to wait until tomorrow night!
*reads through again to figure out who only posted once*
Wait... that still doesn't tell me anything. They might have NOT been chosen because of that post. The suspense!
Well, and even then you don't know if they only posted once, or had one that was so good (or bad) that it made the difference.
So yeah, pins and needles. Waiting on.
Prove me wrong, but it seems that everyone has completed their submissions. If no one has any objections I can post up the choices tonight
Finally able to post!
See discussion...
sounds good to me.
I have my regular table game tonoght so might not see it until much later or even tomorrow depending on what time we finish up.
but if not selected then that is ok too.
Sounds great, I really want to know if I got in or not. >.<
Yeah, Zalvenos is all done except for nitpicky details like finishing up equipment (how much rope is "enough?") and picking traits. Everyone's core concepts seem to be in place though.
Brelar says, "To taste the marrow, first crack the mammoth’s bone."
Shalluk's done. Although I must say, I'm rather regretting choosing to be an outsider - it's been hard to find anything to do but stand and lurk.

In my defense I tried to start a conversation with your character, but since we were stressed for time I played it off as if you ignored me.
Sorry about that.
Really? I totally missed that. Crud.
It seems like a decent situation to use "flex-time" where you can be simultaneously responding to several things that may or may not be happening at the same time. It works as long as you don't make any space-time paradoxes.
Y'know... "At some other point in the evening, Heroman walks over to PC2 and says 'Greetings citizen!' with a sharp salute." doesn't necessarily need to interrupt a conversation you're having someone else because they're happening at "different times."

The sultry beauty of this raven-haired Varisian seems to be right out of a bard’s tale about the dangers of the wandering Szcarni fortuntellers. Dressed in traditional Varisian fashion, the mischievous sparkle in her green eyes is set off by a number of silken colored scarves and bright bangle jewelry. Under the loose scarves and garments, however you get a glance of polished black leather and amongst the jewelry, a Starknife on her hip. Remarkably, a vivid, colorful image of a butterfly is tattooed on the right side of her neck, plain for all to see. A closer examination shows that the intricate tattoo is a highly-detailed symbol of the goddess Desna. With the weapons, armor and tattoo, she appears more than an exotic Varisian wanderer, but a priestess of the goddess most revered by the Szcarni. The intrigue that she presents seems to compliment her sultry beauty rather than diminish it.
Born into a powerful Szcarni crime family, Redwyna was raised to be a leader in her family. The women in her family were reknown fortune, able to use the Harrow deck with great skill, flair, and accuracy. Of course, they were also expected to participate in the normal entertainment and grift of the associated with the lighter side of the Szcarni life, and Redwyna is reknown for her story telling as well as her fortune-telling prowess. A beautiful girl, she had a bright future and was likely to have her pick of husbands among the senior members of the community… However, her calling was much greater than that – she was chosen by Desna at an early age and was destined to be greater than her family ever thought.
As a teenager, she took part in the families affairs, but upon seeing her potential the women of the clan took her aside and made certain that she was trained to be one with the Goddess of Luck and a leader amongst the Szcarni. As she was training and rising in prominence, she began to see the darker sides of her Szcarni family – the hard crimes of extortion, assault, blackmail, and drug trafficking. While her training and beliefs supported the Szcanri way of life with grift, entertainment, and life of fortune – if one wasn’t smart enough to hang on to their money, then they should be parted with it – these harder crimes disturbed her greatly. She eventually gathered the courage to approach her father and challenge him, invoking the Goddess Desna in rebuking the immoral activities. Her father laughed and claimed that the Szcarni way is not the easy life she had grown up in, and perhaps he had sheltered her too much. He refused to abandon the darker sides of his personality and profession as a crime boss, and Redwyn was heartbroken. She knew her only choice was to disassociate herself form her family, while she loved them as individuals and loved her Szcarni culture, there corruption of her culture into a crime family was not something she could take part in.
Since that time, Redwyn has ventured forth from her home under the bridge in Magnimar to seek out adventure, test her mettle, and temper her abilities. She travels among the local Szcarni families where she finds them, but knows that her quest serve the Goddess goes beyond any one family – and she has no intention toward settling down until she reaches her full potential and can serve the Szcarni and Desna without reservation. She hopes to gain the power and prestige to challenge her father and other Szcarni who have abandoned the old ways of the travelling grafter in favor of the blood-money of organized crime.
Most recently, her wanderings have taken her to the city of Sandpoint where she has just arrived and was exploring the town and considering whether to begin introductions with the local Szcarni families.
Redwyna is exactly what she seems to be, a brash, daring, beautiful priestess of the goddess of luck. She doesn’t hide the dangers that lurk beneath her persona and history, instead daring you to trust and see if the potential reward is worth the risk of dealing with her. That said, she has her own strict brand of honor and honesty, common amongst the better of her people. She is entirely trustworthy and loyal once her oath or friendship is given, but perfectly willing to let a fool be taken advantage of – believing firmly that the fool deserves it. In fact, she considers it her duty to take that advantage of that fool as much as it is to fulfill her oath and friendship to those who deserve them. Sharp-tongued, sarcastic, flirtatious, and sincere in her own way Redwyn is a person few forget meeting. She believes strongly in fate, chance, and luck and will often subconsciously trace the wings of Desna over her heart when worried.
