Crunch for the Crunch Gods:
Bar LongShanks
Fear Ensurers Loyalty:
Everyone eventually slows down, gets old, and has to stop adventurering. That happened to LongShanks, he detested it, his hair was white, beard white and long, and his animal companion long dead. It had been over a decade since he had hefted a shield and sword, and it showed. His Tattoes had been the last thing he had renewed, already having bought replacement gear. The White Spider on his left arm reminded him of the duels he had won as a Witch Guard, The Blue Scorpion on his right arm was there to tell all who saw it that he had lead men into battle as an officer of some renown. His chest had a roaring snow lepoard clawing its way out of his chest, this represented that he had never been defeated by any foe, no matter the number or the number of troops he had. On his back was a Soaring Snow Owl, shrieking with talons out, this was a representation of the Witch he had served long ago. When she had died, part of him had as well, he had left the Guard soon after, traveling far away to be with his thoughts. Snow his bear had died last year, with him dead, he had skinned him and worn his hide, forever would Snow be with him, nothing had ever parted them after they had come together, and nothing now would make them part. His joints hurt as if a cold wind blew over him, and he had struggled for some time, even walking outside and screamed at Death to leave him be, he wasn't going to fight anymore. That changed when he found a single Snow Owl feather on his front steps, much like snow, it had awoken him; just like him he had awoken with the need to kill something, to tear it apart, to destroy it. Whoever played this trick thought him too hold, too tired, to carry on. Picking up all his gear he headed into town, looking for "Adventurers" to tag along with that were heading North, where he would find anwsers. The Commissar Demands Perfection: 10 minute Background: This is in Addition to the written background and isn't just another 'formatting'. The information in this small sentences are here to give life and color to your PC so please add different content from the previous Background. This section has the following steps: -Step 1: Write at least 5 concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character. These can be a concept overview, a list of important life events, a physical description, a personality profile...whatever you need to get an image in your mind.
-Step 2: List at least 2 goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game.
-Step 3: List at least 2 secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help me in creating plots that center around your character. I will also be creating a third secret which you as a player will not be aware of, so expect some surprises!
-Step 4: Describe at least 3 people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. <- Unlike other games, this AP makes it difficult to use character-tied NPCs (won't say why not to spoiler anything) so this is optional.
2: Samantha Von Snowflake, daughter of the Winter Witch that he failed, and supposed charge that he must take up.[I will most likely be taking Leadership in order to have her around] 3: Darsanga, Human Barbarian; he was a lover of Elizabeth Von Snowflake, and blames LongShanks with losing his love, as well as the fact that she left him as he was a rather boring fellow. -Step 5: Describe at least 3 mannerisms, or quirks that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor.
@Gm Frosty The Drawback is Vain, and having played in a majority of campaigns I know the likelyhood of an NPC talking to anyone or everyone in the party grows with the decrease in the party size, the more often I fail a charisma check the harsher the penality gets, making it a great liabilty. I choose tireless avenger as it seemed incharacter to have and not just something on pen and paper that made him better, since its unlikely that I will be required to actually track someone for days on end its just a neat little trait that may or may not come up http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/faith-traits/tireless-avenger Would you rather see a character that can fail, or one that on average will succeed in everything he does?
