Belen |

I'd like to offer Belen for consideration. My intention is for him to be a rather atypical Champion of Irori.
Belen grew up in Absalom, and has very little interest in Vudra, much to his parents dismay. While he has always been dutiful and obeyed their wishes, even to the point of joining an Irorian monastery, Belen has spent all his free time sneaking around Absalom at night, defending the helpless. And when a crusade recruiter told him of the latest call for brave warriors to fight off the demonic menace in Mendev, he decided that it was his duty to sign up.
His parents were heartbroken when they learned that their only son had signed up to, as they see it, get himself needlessly killed. But in the end, they accepted that he'd given his word and would certainly go. So they changed tack and made him promise to use whatever trickery he needs to when fighting the demons as they are deceitful and without honor and there is thus no obligation to fight fairly against them.
Once at the worldwound, Belen quickly found himself on a training mission, patrolling an area that was supposed to be safe. When his group was attacked, Belen was cut off from the others and was forced to hide from passing demons for several hours. Shortly before the next dawn, he was awakened by a mysterious woman, who led him back to safety, avoiding several patrols along the way.

I'd like to submit this character concept.
She's a half-elf ranger, going trickster for mythic. Undecided if she'll be a range or melee type, depends how the first level plays out.
For the GM: I'm currently GMing this path as well. I can keep meta knowledge separate, but always feel its nice to tell the GM ahead of time, in case its an issue.
Sending the crunch and background via PM as you requested earlier in the thread, but its also all on the alias already.

That's right. That voice. It was the voice of that woman. Maybe she will find her. And thank her.
Time will tell.

My paladin.
code-
Where there is darkness darker than night, I shall bring a shining light.
Where despair, suffering, and oppression run rampant, I shall bring a mighty hope.
When demons and undead run amok, I shall bring them to heel.

Where disease, death, and strife are present, I shall bring relief.
Never Shall I yield, never shall I waver, and never shall I falter.
I am the sword of justice, the hammer of the righteous, the shield of the people.
I am a warrior of the holy light, and evil shall fear my name.
It cannot run, it cannot hide, and it shall not best me.

This is Olivia Pendragon, Paladin of Shelyn from Taldor. As a devotee of Shelyn she is more about protecting beauty and innocence than smiting and vengeance although as demons are defined by their evil, they don't qualify for second chances.
I see Calistra as lust/external beauty and Shelyn as internal beauty so I have no intention of playing her as a Sune surrogate. Olivia is pretty much a newbie knight errant, sent from Taldor by her family just as they've done with all their second borns for the past four hundred years.
I hope you'll find that she's straight paladinish, although of the "shining example" type, rather than the "smite em down" type. I'm submitting a three page packet but have gone light on the exposition. I am interested in taking the Daughter of Crusaders trait but am not really interested in Marshal as a heroic archtype. If you don't mind me taking that trait but going Defender, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you for the chance to submit my character.

It is a little known fact that when a man weighing just 160 pounds is dropped only four feet from the gallows trap, the head will detach from the shoulders.
It was certainly a fact that Nathaniel Harker; trainee Knight and anointed Champion of Iomadae could testify to. Although, now that the deed was done, he wished more than anything he had remained ignorant of this knowledge.
The hanged man was slight and misshapen though his eyes were sharp and dark with evil malice. Since mid-morning the crowd had begun to swell and press together, the smell of sweat and anticipation growing strong despite the chill in the air. The square had not been so full since the declaration of the last crusade.
Kanebres was a hard city. From a young age, all it’s citizens had learnt to wield a blade or bow or spell - even to a basic standard - because living in the shadow of the threat of evil was a grim burden to bare. Crusaders found comfort where they could in the long nights and dark days of the war and the extra-marital indiscretions of Sir Leonard Harker with an elven sorceress on the front lines went without judgement. But Nathaniel was born of their tryst.
It was strange where his mind would wander in these sombre moments but even as the condemned man’s eyes burned fiercely into Nathaniel’s, the Knight never let his gaze falter.
Nathaniel, resplendent in the silver and black ceremonial armour of the Kenebres Guard approached the condemned man and placed the noose around his neck. Dark eyes fell on him and the condemned spat onto the Black Tower, the Harker sigil, that adorned his armour. He gritted his teeth, but did not react. In a clear, strong voice he said;
For your crimes against this community, against our Lady of Honor you are cursed to this fate. May Iomedae have mercy on your immortal soul, for you shall find none here.
The cultists had started to become a growing problem. Kanebres was relatively safe from demon attacks with the ward stone in situe, even after Nathaniel’ father had died in the last assault nearly ten years ago. But attacks from within had grown more frequent. Since the fateful day nearly five years ago when Nathaniel had been taken, drugged and tortured, thrust into some dark ritual – he had awaited justice, perhaps vengeance. He didn’t think Iomedae would begrudge him either. Whatever the cultists had planned to do with him that day, it had failed. He remembers little of it, just lights and shapes and then awakening in the streets miles away from where he was taken. But he still wore the scars, within and without.
For the past four months he had hunted this man with the other paladins and oracles of Iomedae, finally trapped him, defeated him and brought him to justice. Three of his Order, paladins much more seasoned than he, had to tear him away from the fallen man lest he beat him to death with his bare hands.
With foul curses the man mounted the three gallows steps, the last he would ever take, with burning hatred in his eyes he refused the black hood and with whispered promises of eternal vengeance, the executioner pulled the lever. The man fell four feet, the rope tightened and blood sprayed in the mid-day sun.
Thank you, Brother. Nathaniel said afterwards, you performed your duties with honour.
That was not meant to happen, the crowd will talk about it for years. Women and children crying, men I have known for years gagging at the sight. The executioner, Rodahl, replied.
He deserved his fate, Iomade decreed it and I only regret I was not permitted to deliver her justice at the edge of my blade.
Still, he is dead now.
A pity we could only kill him once. Nathaniel replied with some resignation. He ran his eyes over the crowd and idly wondered in Tenevriel was in attendance, the magnificent silver dragon that was such a bastion of hope for the the people of the city. A thousand deaths would not be undeserved.
You really hate them that much? the man asked, eyebrow raised.
After what… they did to me ...they’ve done, betraying their own kind to demons and devils. Yes, I hate them that much.
Growing up on the front lines was difficult. Both parents took part in the fourth crusade and without any siblings, Nathaniel was raised largely by the priests of Iomedae, so prevailant in the city. The paladins had been pleased enough with his martial abilities but he cared little for religious doctrine, more often studying the arcane arts of his mother’s side. However, long had the Harkers paid homage to Iomedae and he had done the same, though more for tradition than belief. Given the extent of the powers that seemed to be growing within him, and the strange language he had begun to utter in times of stress, it appeared She believed in him more than he believed in her.
But it was the events at the hands of the cultists that defined him. He swore that one day he would help to reclaim this lost land, to push back the darkness and bring those who would see the world ruined brought to justice.
I hope you find him interesting and if you have any questions please just let me know.

I would like to submit Kostin Tesarani, a garuda-blooded inquisitor (cold iron warden) of Desna.
Writing here just some informations, I'll make a full character sheet if he's chosen.
Str 12, Dex 14+2 racial, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 14+2 racial, Cha 8
Traits : Redeemer, Child of the Crusade
Inquisition : Conversion
Skills : Knowledge (arcana)+5 (+8), Knowledge (planes) +5(+8/10), Knowledge (religion)+5 (+8), Sense motive +8, Intimidation +8, Spellcraft +5 (+7), Perception +7, Diplomacy +7
Racial aptitudes : Darkvision 60 ft, Incorruptible, Celestial crusader
Kostin is the son of a varisian sorcerer serving in the crusade and of one of her celestial allies. His entire life has been spent in the crusade and since his young age, he has been trained to hunt for demon cultists. He's more a redeemer than a fighter.
He sees each cultists he has to kill as a failure and usually prefers to convince them to renounce their heresy. Or at least to try.
I had several ideas to add some details to the character but I guess it's best to wait for the DM to choose his players.

Working here as well.
Are you using the "My Campaigns" or the "Messageboards" tab? The "My Campaigns" tab was having issues earlier.....
Oh and Hi Everyone.
Toxic, Belen, Ennike, Arasmes
I noted we are rather short on divine oomph. Thinking of respeccing Peter into a fighting/support cleric to fill the gap. Lot's o' buffs and maybe using bravery variant channeling from UM. Still a decent fighter but no longer a primary beatstick.
Assuming Toxic's ok what are your thoughts? Good idea/Bad idea worth a 1 level dip at second but not worth loosing a fighter for?

Belen |

I noticed the same thing Peter. While I'm starting in Paladin, it's not my favored class and I'll never be getting any actual spellcasting. So, if I understand things correctly, I can use wands once / if we get some, but that's all. (My intention is to build into Champion of Irori - eventually - via Sohei w/ a Ninja dip for Cha-based ki)
