I switched out Intimidate for Diplomacy and Knowledge(Nature) for Knowledge(Nobility) because it seemed more in keeping with her. If you'd rather I didn't, I can keep things vanilla.
A minor scion of house Wintrish, Unelma, generally Nel, came into Lady Jeggare's service as a lady-in-waiting fairly, although not unseemly, recently on the recommendation of a friend's friend. Her family hopes that being in the midst of everyone else interested in the marriage, Nel will be able to secure a good match, either Cheliaxan or Andoran would be fine, but hopes are for one of the prominent banking families across the border. For herself, Nel doesn't mind at all. Lady Jeggare is an amiable companion, who has started noticed that things just seem to run more smoothly when her companion is around, and the opportunity seems promising.
Nel's history is complicated-ish. While bastards aren't de rigueur, they aren't exactly uncommon either. How they are treated largely depends on how much scandal their appearance causes and the personal inclinations of those involved. In Nel's case, no one, well, almost no one, knows that she is one. In the days before her arrival, her 'mother' was troubled by dreams that focused on her recent miscarriage and the child that was lost. The last night, unable to sleep, Korva Wintrish was pacing the halls she heard a baby crying. Following the sound, she found a newborn swaddled in a basket with a note, "In place of what what lost." And so she became.
Raised as a noblewoman of moderate standing, Nel thinks of herself as just that. That she has some magical gifts doesn't change her position or duties. She's never shown any talent for summoning or binding, nor a burning faith in Asmodeus, though she is properly devote, so she keeps them to herself in order to maximize their usefulness. She enjoys being able to give her friends a bit of luck, or put a bore to sleep for the few seconds needed to slip away.
Appearance/Behavior
Softly svelte in the manner befitting a noblewoman, Nel exudes a drowsily sensual friendliness, inevitably finding herself curled up around anyone who remains stationary long-enough. This has lead to a few raked faces, and more tender parts, for those who misinterpret her intentions. As lady Jeggare put it, 'Nel, you're a cat. Some witch cursed a rival's familiar and turned her into noblewoman. You even have the claws.' When the situation calls for it however, Unelma Wintrish emerges from Nel to become a perfectly fine lady's companion: intelligent, perception, and well trained in courtly arts.
Though heterochrome is not soley the province of changlings, Nel sometimes wears a contact to conceal her blue eye. Otherwise, her appearance is quite normally Chelaxian: pale-skin and black-hair, neither tall nor short, etc.
Here is my Bard entry. I hope to add more detail to his background as I learn more about the setting. Basically Kyrax is a friend of the prince, having grown up at court with the young noble. He has spent much of his youth at court in the halls of Andoran and sports an appropriate skill set. His family was not so high that he was always welcome or expected but his natural charisma often managed to span the gap and get him into events above his pedigree.
Question: if she's from Cheliax, how did she become a Winter Witch?
Question: if she's from Cheliax, how did she become a Winter Witch?
Good question. Dreams and slumber just naturally led to winter as I was making her.
Witches are self-taught, like summoners and fighters, which means they can develop either from directed training, like an academy or bootcamp, or organically. For changelings, witchcraft is in their blood, so I guess a particular archetype could manifest anywhere. It'd make the most sense though if her hag bloodline was connected with the cold somehow. Sea or Annis could work, but Winter Hag would be the best fit for this. Which heritage is hers, and how her father connected with this hag, are as much a mystery for me as Nel.
Would you like me to drop it?
Character selection so far. I am keeping one slot open for aileigc, hoping he'll show up with a character before tomorrow. ^^; Everyone else... REPORT TO THE GAMEPLAY THREAD NOW!

Nova Yuuki Aiba - Aasimar Samurai 1

My regrets to the applicants who didn't. *bows* I hope you'll find other games to play in soon.
That would make running the adventure a bit difficult, yes. ^^;
Excellent. Thank you! Wow, quite an eclectic crew. Looking forward to it!
Thanks Nine and I hope to play a game with you and the others another time!
Hi all,
aileigc here. This is going to be my character for this game. Just to let you know that my background is online as my profile.
I would also like to say hi to everyone else in this thread, and thank you to DM for accepting me.

Seeing this great opportunity of gaining the flavor of House Thrune and expanding the trade of weaponry to Andoran, House Henderthane selected his most promising gladiator, Thol, to join in the escorting of the princess.
Thol had been brought into the House of Henderthane since young after being seen by the lord himself of his ferocity. He was being kept with the other children who were either bought or brought in from the street and trained together in the art of combat to fight for the House in the colleseum. Death is a common thing to them and therefore none of them would had any expression. Thol, among all the rest, is the best fighter and had won in many life and death battle. This alone made Thol the best candidate for the job and of cause, he was expendable and would not bring any harm to the reputation of the house should the mission fail.
Sorry, but recruitment is currently closed. The game has already begun...
This group is currently in dire need of a healer willing to accompany us on our slow, leisurely journey into darkest peril.
If there's anyone willing to fill that role, let me know here in the recruitment thread. I'll make a selection from the available applicants (if any) by Friday. ^^
Currently level 1 -- I run a slow game -- but level 2 should be coming up quite, quite soon...
I am going to make an oracle. I am toying with an oracle of battle, or an oracle of lore. I will make a decision tomorrow most likely.
Many apologies for not having this sooner. I have a basic background in place along with most of the crunch. The following have not been selected:
- Gear, including weapons.
- Feat (suggestions anyone?)
- 0 level spell, all 1st level spells.
- Personality and appearance.
If I think of anything else I will add that to her profile. Sorry for the delay.
I present Raina Tanethta, a half-elf Oracle Stargazer.
This should give a reasonable picture of who she is and what she does.
Looks good! Please proceed first to discussion, and thence to gameplay. ^^
Do you want me to make a gameplay post? Or are you planning on something for that?
Go ahead and scream. ;)
