@ Barnabus: I'm a little confused by the alias. Profile block is a Human Cleric of Abadar while text blocks are for a half-elf arcanist.
Pending/WIP
1. Barnabus Starson (Human Cleric of Abadar) (see question above)
* "Complete" does not necessarily mean I've had an opportunity to review the submission. I will follow-up if I have any questions.
Already updated ;-)
I have the idea of an cleric of Abadar, looking for his daughter.
1. What is your character's connection to Korvosa? Why is he here?
Barnabas Starson´s Family has been living in Korvosa for generations.
He was born here and lived his whole live here.
2. Who is one NPC your character thinks of as a friend or ally?
Barnabas Godfather is Syl Gar. Sir Gar has taken care that Barnabas was taken into the faith of Abadar. Barnabas now works in the Magistrate
of Expenditures as a junior acolyte.
3. What is one goal for your PC other than the one provided in your campaign trait?
To raise in the Ministary and make his Godfather proud.
4. If your character is anything other than human, explain how she fits in to Korvosa.
Baranabas is human
This will be my Arcanist... still a bit work in progress.

I thought about it for a long time, but I will bow out.
One reason is, we will start it at the table and I do not want to spoil a few surprises, the other is that I could never identify myself with my character. He sounded great on paper, but I somehow never connected inplay. It has been an honor and a joy writing with you, but you deserve my best and somehow.. I can not offer it. I just can not. And then I know I have to offer my spot to someone... who can.
@GM It has been a pleasure, maybe another day!

Barnabas checks all his extracts and his weapons. "I am ready!"
Male Human Cleric (Herald Caller) 1
Counting the illigal activities around, Barnabas looks for a moment quite uncomfortable, before he shrugs and smiles and starts to inspect the area for what it is worth. And checking for any unusual sales, maybe of magic wands, maybe of some other arcane trinkets.

Entering his office his secretary, dutiful as always offers him his customary cup of tea. After checking his clients and writing 2 legal documents. Smiling and working dutifully in his mind he thinks about the next problems.

Tell me about it. My parents home went down in price hard. Really hard. A few years ago, my uncle sold his fathers home for about 12 times what we got now. Granted the garden was bigger, but Twelve times.....

Drinking his second Shield extract Barnabus goes en garde.

Used to play VtM and CoC. I am all up for mature audience movies.

Barnabas leans over and whispers in Darios ear"Do not mention to work against the hellknights in public, I beg you. They have ears and eyes everywhere and ... they have interesting ways to show their displeasure. I just ask you to keep those thoughts in very very private."
Straigtening up Barnabas clears his throat and says."We should get to work. The sooner the better. For the people."
Male Human Cleric (Herald Caller) 1
Barnabas looks around and drinks the surrounding. He checks for poverty, missing boards while his body stands still and just his eyes looking around.

Curious Barnabas will join.
Male Human Cleric (Herald Caller) 1
Barnabas looks around and finally says. "Dear fellows, let us not forget why we are here. Talking about chelish opera is not but will not solve our problems."
Male Human Cleric (Herald Caller) 1
"I think it is a subtle way to lessen our humanity. Art forms behavior. The other sad side of the coin is that our people have nearly no other ways to let them forget their soiled life. But why HORSES for an opera, as far as I know they can´t carry a tune."

"Well I saw him once, or twice. He is good! He is that good? Well, we have some very excellent singers in our beloved city!"
Male Human Cleric (Herald Caller) 1
Finishing the group of newcomers is a distinguished man in the late twentys. With a charming smile he bows:"Well met, everyone. My name is Starson, Barnabus Starson. Advocatus in this lovely city, ridden by human and not so human lice since the rise of our beloved house of thrune!"
Male Human Cleric (Herald Caller) 1
Well met again. I am quite happy being chosen. Let´s call this... Challenge Accepted!
"And metal can be easier mass produzed. Although some branding for a wooden coins should work too."
"I was thinking of something more inspiring. And ratman, there are some were things with rats and we do not want to go that way!"
"The idea of a symbol is a good one. But I would suggest for the moment... to chose an impersonal one. We all know to well how our beloved house thrune handels the long nail in the board! And I would prefer not something that might get you in jail immideatly, but something... something with more hope! Maybe a beacon. A beacon for our desire to end the night´s terror. A beacon that shows here is safety!"
Taking a sip from his drink, Barnabas is silent for a moment. "Do not doubt, there are many people, who still remember the horror of the civil war. And more who just want to live a peaceful live. Who will adapt to the injustice of our lovely peacekeepers. We also have to show them... that there are other forces there. On second thoughts. Maybe we need a hero. A hero with a mask, a mask everyone will know who it was. Yes. And never forget. We need the mask, not a person. The more impossible his deeds will be, the more the people will look up to him!"
Barnabas comes in a bit late. "Some poor wench was just beat up in the streets. It is horrible, these crooks told everyone she was stealing. But that is the name of the game in this city." Politly ordering some ale, he waits till the wench is gone before continuing. "I am quite happy all is well with you. I hope the time in custody was not too painful. Now, you asked if I would be willing to aid you in another matter. Even a bit more direct. This morning, I was not ready.... but now. What can I do?"
