Anakim's page

Drum roll!

Added a brief backstory to the character. Any notes? Want more? I'll endeavour to specify his code, if/when...

As for the entity influence, an absolute yes to either favour or ire, as you see fit. Or an item, which would fit. Up to you!

Here's a summary of the character build for Anakim. Working on the backstory, etc...

(I had submitted another character in the previous recruitment thread, but decided to go for something somewhat different...)

Same question! I am fairly new to the boards, but it seems that dying campaigns is a thing...?

Anakim follows, glad that his companions are able guides.

The crashing of stone... Anakim listens carefully, wondering if these are the sounds of a mine or quarry?

Having lived a Life of Toil as a slave in mines and quarries, are these sounds that he recognizes?

knock!

Anakim looks at the small hole, and despairs somewhat. That's not enough, he thinks to himself as he kneels and digs deeper with his bare hands.

He digs until his efforts prove fruitful or clearly futile.

"Perhaps it knows where to find water?"

A surprisingly insightful question from such a brute of a creature... He seems entirely out of his element, but happy to be free.

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Anakim may be large and unaccustomed to surviving in the open expanses of the desert, but he is extraordinarily tough and resilient. He endures the heat without a word.

Still, when Illuriel offers some sound advice, he takes note.

"There must be water," Anakim states the obvious as he looks at the forest in the distance. He turns to Tkk-Tkk, to lead the way.

Unsure but resolute, Anakim follows, some distance behind Varro.

"I have no idea where we're going," he admits, inviting any one of the others to guide the expedition.

Anakim grabs the supplies and a spear, and climbs off the ship. He is glad to be standing on solid ground. He takes a first step, figuring that the others will follow...

Anakim grabs whatever food and water is made available to them, and is ready to go!

"Food and water?" the half-giant asks.

"Can we take some supplies?" Anakim asks simply.

Over the course of your voyage, you have come to know Anakim to be able and strong, and wiser than most half-giant brutes. He knows that he is ill equipped to survive in the desert. But staying here, remaining a slave when freedom has been offered, would be insufferable.

Anakim recalls the chains that have bound him his whole life, and stands as a volunteer.

At almost thirteen feet, Anakim is tall even for a half-giant. But against all odds, despite his brutal past, he is a gentle creature.

He stares at the land beyond, and wonders: Freedom?

He thanks his Ancestors that K'aketak is here. He has found in the Thri-Kreen an unlikely friend who shares many of his values. And the others also have shown themselves to be good travelling companions.

"Life is a path, not a destination," he reminds himself, as usual reciting the old wisdom that he learned from his father.

Nice!

Still here!

Here is Anakim - Half Giant Unchained Monk of the Sacred Mountain.

First and foremost, Anakim wants to be free. After that… A wife? A child? A descended to inherit his learnings? My goal is create something more than a dumb brute. Or rather, my intent is to create a brute, but with a bit of depth!

He's atypical: opinionated and religious. Should be interesting :)
