A Word of Warning
The Forumbeast will eat some of your posts as you are submitting them. Do yourself a favor, and either compose the post in Notepad (or something similar) and copy-paste it over here, or select your whole post and copy it to your clipboard before submitting. It will save you a bunch of frustration.

"Hi friends! This is me talking," the anonymous stranger said as she was explaining different markups for posting.

"This is me shouting," she said over the noise of the crowd.

This should be a lot of fun, she thought while talking to her friends.

And this is out-of-character text.

If you hit the [Reply] button, you can see how I accomplished these.

We use "bold" text in quotes for dialogue.

We use italic text (no quotes) for inner monologue.

We use out-of-character text for off-topic remarks.

And we use unmodified text for narration.

Small change:
Instead of commas as separators for skills and talents, use space-period-space. It spreads things out just a bit more and makes it easier to read. I used a Unicode Middle Dot character (·), which I like better. You could copy it here and paste it in, or just use a period. :)

Thanks!

Also, when you craft your posts, there is a handy cheat sheet for formatting your text just below the dialogue box: "How to format your text."

Play around with them in here. You will be using Bold and out-of-character a lot. But you can also do italics, strikethrough, and a bunch of other html codes as well.

This is how to build your profile bar:

Open your profile in another tab so that you can refer back to here, then click on the [ Edit My Profile ] button.

Enter the following in the fields given (yes, these are out of order from how they appear in your profile, but this order will put them in the correct order on your bar):

Gender: F Twi'lek Mercenary Soldier ( Br 3 )( Ag 3 )( In 2 )( Cu 3 )( Wi 2 )( Pr 3 ) [ Soak 5 . Wounds 0/13 . Strain 0/13 ] [ M 0 . R 0 ]

This should be: Gender, Species, Specialization, Characteristics, Soak, Wounds/Threshold, Strain/Threshold, Melee Defense, Ranged Defense

Race: | Athletics 2, Brawl 2, Coordination 2, Leadership 2, Melee 2, Ranged (Light) 2, Ranged (Heavy) 2, Stealth 2

This should be: | skills you are trained in

Class/Levels: | Adversary 1, Point Blank 2, Side Step 1, Stalker 1 | Shadowed

This should be: | talents | special abilities

Then change them to match your character.

This is where the gameplay discussion will take place.

Meanwhile, back on the ship...

Two crusty old sea dogs are busy planing and sanding talon-marks out of the top deck. The captain, looking on, shakes his head and says to his first mate, "Smitty, remind me to never again take passage from Pathfinders."

"Aye aye, Cap'n!"

The captain nods, seeming to agree with Zahra's logic. "Very well."

He turns to his first mate, "Release the terror bird." The captain then whispers to his first mate, "and remind me to never again book passage from Pathfinders."

"Aye, Cap'n," the first mate responds before leaving with Tika to release Manuk the Doomchicken.

One of the sailors turns to his companion and mutters under his breath, "Avast. This best be the last time the cap'n be takin' on passage from bloody Pathfinders."

Besides my local PFS scene already has a silent monk. Amusing character - he actually has a vow of truth, not silence, but because of that, Zarta Dralneen made him take a vow of silence also before she'd let him join the Dark Archive.

That is excellent.


Thanks GM Rennai. Hopefully next time.


@ GM:
I am free to start any time. :) I'm relatively new to PbP, but feel free to troll the few games that I've played to see examples of RP.

I have changed the name of Annie Oakleaf to Pepper Berrythwaite. I might change the last name again if I can think of one that is more fitting.

GM:
Gunslingers are a lot of fun. They have cool mechanics. But their reputation of being very powerful with lots of damage output is well-deserved. The real limiting factor is that they need to get pretty close to combat to use their touch attacks. In Pepper's case, she needs to be within 20 ft. Sometimes that is hard to do, especially if the adventure is mostly outside.


Ok. Here is my contribution. :)

A halfling girl walks in, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and dressed in a leather skirt and a sheepskin vest.

"How do, all? I'm Anafa Oakleaf, but you lot can call me Annie." She seems to fill more of the room than her small frame would suggest is possible.

"I'm real excited to go on this here adventure. A girl can't just sit around doin' nothin'. For me, sittin’ still is harder’n any kind of work. The gods intended womenfolk to be outside as well as the menfolk, and they don’t know what’n they’re missin’ when they stay’n all cooped up in the house."

Looking around, she asks, "Where's the bar in this town?"

Annie was once a member of the Bellflower Network, but recently her wanderlust has caused her to set out in search of greater adventure. She has come to Korvosa after hearing word that King Eodred Arabasti has been looking for brave souls to tame the wild lands known as Bloodsworn Vale.

@ GM:
I really like gunslingers, which is why I built this one—I've been wanting to try a character built around the Gun Twirling feat. But if they aren't your thing, I understand—I know they aren't to everyone's taste. I have a couple of other character ideas I'm happy to pitch instead.

Also, in my home game group, we have reduced the critical hits of firearms to x2 instead of x4, and they feel much more in line with other weapons. So I'm perfectly happy with such a change, if you want. :)
