| Callant Arakh |
Well, since everyone else has posted in character, I guess I'll do the same...:)
Character Name: Callant Arakh
Character Title: Old Dude, the Walkin' Man, Keef
Race/Class/Etc: Aasimar (angel bloodkin)/23rd lvl Oracle (seeker)/NG
Flavor/Backstory:Callant has been around the block...many times. Although he's young (for an aasimar), he's been told on several occasions that he has an old soul. That, and his friends all call him Keef (they say that it's an inside joke, but he doesn't care, just so long as they don't call him Barney). Callant feels like he has seen everything and done even more, always appearing nearby when something bad is about to happen. He's also has done his fair share of 'recreational alchemical ingredients' a few decades back. He did his share, and your share and GMV's share...he did a lot. He stopped taking the hard stuff a couple of decades ago, but he does have this rather calm demeanor about him, even in the heart of battle.
He has been to many places over the past century. Golarion, some place called Midgard, dealing with a demon called Orcus. a place called Earth, filled with Rifts and where magic and science were indistinguishable We can say that GMV and I met here, since we have both played Rifts over the years. Another planet that called itself Earth, where dragons roamed, orcs had arms made of metal, and every carried something called a 'piece'; all in a undefinably large city called "Seattle." Welcome to Shadowrun, another place that GMV and I could have hung out.
What kind of campaign are you looking for/wanting to play? I'm pretty flexible when it comes to playstyle, having DM'd just about the entire spectrum of gamer types over the years. From what everyone has posted, I am in favor of planar travelling. There's a gold mine of materials out there from various gaming systems. In terms of combat vs. RP, I would lean personally towards RP'ing, with a good mix of combat. Given how powerful we are, I think that most combats will turn into tactical events, trying to figure out what works best against what we are thrown at.
Level of experience/gaming resume: I started playing with the Blue and Red boxes in 1983, not even 10 years old yet. We used an old Fisher Price castle set as mini's and props. Since then I've played just about every major gaming system over the past 30 years: GURPS, Palladium (TMNT, Robotech, PalFantasy, Rifts, etc.), White Wolf (Mage, Werewolf, Vampire), Battletech, Shadowrun (personal favorite, I love me some cyberpunk), Cyberpunk 2020, ICE, you name it, I've either ran it or at least heard of it. After getting out of the military, I came back to the DnD fold after many years away. Since '01, I've played 3.0, 3.5, and PFS almost exclusively (it's nearly impossible to find someone in this town that wants to play something besides a sword and board game). I have been a DM for most of that time, although I don't normally attend conventions. I currently run 2 RL campaigns, 1 PBP campaign here on Paizo, and run a character in a Mythic PBP here as well. Let me know if you want references. :P
