Fluff:
Background
When word of the Black Horde's siege of Kotelia reached the conclave of the Contemplatives, the thought spread that assistance should be rendered. But concordance was not easily achieved about what that assistance should be. For a decade minds debated, concepts and positions flowing through the conclave like ripples in a pond.
Eventually one plan won. A caravan was assembled and crewed. A dozen souls traveled with non-perishable supplies, alchemical reagents, plans for siege engines, and what warriors the Contemplatives could supply. After years of travel they arrived to find the Black Horde disbanded and repairs already begun.
Their mission, in a way, accomplished they sold their goods and most began the trek home. Part of their deal was for consultants to interpret the weapon plans. The three youngest of their number remained in Kotelia to help with the assembly of the new siege defenses.
T'Krell Voril was one of those three. A mere stablehand when they left, he had been trained on the journey to trade with any they encountered. He had a way with the draft animals and was able to quickly pick up new languages and how to assemble and use the massive weaponry they brought.
Since their stay in the fortress city the three young Contemplatives joined the service to add that experience to their own. During the intervening years there has been some attrition to their number. T'Krell is the only Contemplative remaining in Kotelia.
The deaths of his companions were a series of mighty blows to T'Krell. Having felt their minds fade while in telepathic communication and their souls move on, he has begun to change. Turning his studies away from the engines of war and to the transition away from the corporeal world.
As he has served in the defense of Kotelia, T'Krell has begun to see the material plane as a stepping stone to more evolved state. He seeks the release of the physical body and the limitations of a physical mind. His studies have already born some fruit as he can now shift his corporeal form slightly out of phase making him harder to hit in combat.
Appearance
T'Krell Voril is easy to spot, he's the giant floating brain. A diminutive body hangs below the engorged cerebral matter. Dressed in what amounts to dolls clothing, T'Krell's body is definitely inhuman. His long thin arms end in hands hands armed with pointed chitinous claws. His short dangling legs taper to chitinous tips rather than feet.
Personality
When he first arrived in Kotelia, T'Krell reveled in being smarter than anyone else. As his companions died, his attitude mellowed. Still a master of book learning, he has begun to question how much he actually knows about the world. While not a warm person, he has grown to be less cold and emotionless. When he came to Kotelia he worshipped Kalaban as a merchant does. However, his time since has slowly moved his devotion to Alcinea. As a lone member of a fairly communal species, T'Krell seeks others to share his continuing journey.

Fluff:
Background
Twenty seven years ago Syndenomial (Nomi for short) was born in the wilds to an elven druid and raised in the Elven ways of magic and swordplay and archery. While growing up in the wilderness, she befriended a gnomish druid named Nafiz Gloomglow. Nafiz claimed to have learned the ways of the fey and was always accompanied by several sprites and pixies.
In reality, Nafiz was little more than a talented illusionist with deep concerns for the natural world. His companions were simply complex illusions, but Nomi never did figure that out. Nafiz and his fey companions taught Nomi as much about magic and illusions as they did the forests and animals around them. She also excelled at archery and was thrilled when she was allowed to make her own bow from a paueliel limb. That bow is still her prize possession.
However, Nomi was never really cut out for the druidic lifestyle. She yearned for civilization and eventually her mother agreed to find her father. Carl Moore worked with the caravans, always traveling. When she caught up with him, Nomi discovered that her mother had simply been one night of comfort on the road and she did not realize that he had a daughter.
He took her home to Tasuc Cer and introduced her to his family, his human family. Carl had been a simple drover on the caravan at the time of his dalliance, but was now the caravan master. He still spent most of his time away from home.
Hilda, Carl's wife of thirty years was kind enough, however her older half brother Marcus was a lumberjack and was looking to expand. With very different outlooks, Nomi and Marcus fought about the uses of natural resources nearly constantly.
Not quite fitting into either of her parents worlds, Nomi set out to find her place. Her father set her up with a buddy of his to work with the draft animals and help guide a caravan to Endhome.
Appearance
Syndenomial is fairly average in size, her slightly pointed ears peeking through her dark red hair. Her sharp brown eyes are almost always full of laughter. Her skin is well tanned, but not rough. She wears dull browns and greens to blend into the underbrush. She carries a fine bow at her side.
Future Plans
I intend to keep leveling in the primary classes, perhaps picking up the Life and/or Conjuration Spheres. Keeping a similar role to a straight Ranger, but with additional casting abilities.

Background
Ellyrion was born in Crying Leaf in the Mierani Forest about 127 years ago. He was never particularly talented in the arcane, but did have a knack for bowmanship. He joined the militia as they ranged into the Mierani Forest to defend against the drow. Even as he learned to survive in the wilderness and defend his people, he was always reading a book. Constantly interested in knowledge than in the arts, he never quite fit in.
When Aroden failed to appear in Cheliax and the Age of Lost Omens began, he became disillusioned with the battle to reclaim the ancient Elven capital and began wandering in search of himself. He wandered Varisia for many years, doing a bit of this and a bit of that. Learning many trades and reading any books he could come across. He studied many Thassilonian ruins, learning their language.
Eventually Ellyrion began riding with human caravans, teaching those who were interested about the history of their land. As he traveled with the Varisian caravans, he became a worshipper of Desna. Hearing about the dedication of a new Cathedral in Sandpoint, he worked his way there for the ceremony.
Appearance
Tall and thin, Ellyrion is nearly six and a half feet tall and only 126 lbs. His blond hair is short cropped to keep it from getting tangled in ancient stone or metal work. His once fine clothes are dusty and frequently wisps of cobwebs cling to his collar or hair from where he stuck his head into some dark place looking to see what was there. He carries a heavily laden pack, a bow and quiver strapped to the side. At his waist are a sword and dagger.
I'll be reusing an alias name created for a now defunct game. I still need to do some formatting and clean stuff up before I move it into the profile.
As you may be recruiting more players for empty slots at some tables would you allow someone new to create a character on the off chance that you need them? I missed the initial recuitement and this seems like a very cool concept.
I'm currently working on a CG Halfling Inquisitor (infiltrator, preacher) of Milani.
Specifically in Kaer Maga to work against the Chelaxians. Working towards rebuilding the Freemen.
I think some of it is the sense of anonymity that the boards give. You don't have to share your email address with strangers. I also find that the aliases give a sense of immersion that replying to name.name@yahoo.com just can't compare to. You also don't risk losing a post in all the rest of your personal mail.
Also, here there is at least some moderation. If there's a problem with another player or the GM, here there is a reporting process. With pbem they have your email address and there isn't anything you can do about it.
I've got a concept for a Dhampir Life Oracle that I have enjoyed playing. Here is her background. I'll get the crunch up ASAP.
Description:
Kinvara Doone is a tall thin woman. She could be described as youthful and beautiful if it weren’t for the pustulant sores scattered about her skin. Each patch of sores connected to others by enlarged veins, the raised dark lines standing out in stark contrast to her pale skin. In some sections her skin has nearly completely rotted away, showing the discolored bone and muscle below. This is especially true of her hands where most healing energies are focused. She tends to keep her cloak hood up and leans on her spear.
She speaks about how Pharasma has granted her the ability to heal others, but not herself, as punishment for her parent’s failings. Whenever she channels positive energy, to heal another or harm some undead, her hands burn and her muscles cramp. Healing is a painful endeavor, but she still feels that it is what Pharasma demands of her ... why Pharasma forces this “gift” upon her. One day she hopes to be able to heal herself of Pharasma's curse.
Background:
Twenty five years ago a mysterious woman appeared at a Pharasmite temple in Shenmen requesting sanctuary. She claimed to have escaped captivity in Yin-Sichasi. When it was revealed that she was pregnant and that the father may have been a vampire Lord, the clergy smuggled her to the temple in New Oppara in Amanandar. The Pharasmite temple there would be more able to provide the necessary rituals and incantations to limit the undead taint upon the child. After a hard labor, the child was born. The mysterious woman died soon after childbirth her last act was giving a name to her daughter. This was the way Kinvara Doone was brought into the world.
Kinvara was always a very sickly child. Weak and frail she never had much use for physical activities. She was always able to convince some other person to perform any physical labor that was requested of her. Her body continued to weaken and eventually sores started to appear on her skin. At about this time, she also started showing a certain affinity for healing. Some clergy thought that she might have been destined to be a prophetess, but Pharasma’s control of prophecy had become flawed. Some healers think that attempting to force healing energies through her half-undead body may be the source of her disfigurements.
As her skills grew, Kinvara’s training became focused, though she was always in pain when she performed healing. Eventually she decided to travel to Avistan in an attempt to find someone who could provide answers or a way to heal without pain. Her travels have brought her to Oppara where, running short on cash, she signed on to assist the caravan guards.
I'm making the support site public here so anyone interested can review things. I also added a house rule for dwarves: they have access to rune magic/feats.
I like it! Although I am uncertain exactly what I would wind up spending 300gp on as a nomad. But that'll probably cover a bunch of the upcharges for being Large.
I have no issue with it. The Paizo dice roller is notorious for being odd.
Besides, it is in the GMs interest to keep the PCs alive but in peril. TPKs are actually not fun for players or GMs.
I personally like the anonymity that the Paizo forums provide. It let's me set up a profile for the character and only use that one in a given game. It makes it easier for me to keep multiple games separate. This will be my first pbem game.
Not explicitly combat yet, but check out this map. You should have editing rights. Feel free to change your character's color or symbol. Roll initiative if you decide to start combat in earnest.
Any chance you could make that a Slide instead of a Drawing? I don't currently have access to a computer, I can edit Google Slides from my tablet, but not Google Drawings.
Just about to update with a new link. Everyone, please let me know if the functionality is alright - I basically copy/pasted the map over to Slides.
I was doing some spitballing and ran across an issue with the racial builds. The 7RP version of Large includes a +2 to Strength and a -2 to Dexterity. This makes some of the attribute modifiers somewhat off. Any suggestions?
Best one might be just to ignore it and move on since the same modifiers have been applied to all three Large races.
The midsummer sun rises over the horizon, bringing forth the heat of a new day. The light slowly reveals the charred remains of a tent, then another, then more. Before the new days warms, the sun has shone upon the glowing embers of what was once a nomad camp.
At the edge of the ruined camp sits a figure. It leans against a stone jutting from the ground. As the morning twilight brightens, details become clear. The figure is massive, large even for his kind. His rough, wrinkled grey skin stained with ash and blood. Salt crusts the runnels on his face where tears flowed during the night. Beside him sits a pile, items saved from the conflagration. A brightly painted shield, tanned leather stretched over wood, a bundle of spears, a heap of hides that might be worn as armor, a pack with all of his worldly possessions.
In his massive hands rests a book, tattered and charred, but still usable. Between two tusks, one of his trunks wields a small piece of cinder, marking the book in small careful motions. He mumbles to himself as he writes, sounding out the words. His deep quiet voice rumbling in the morning silence, disturbed only be the crackling embers and the occasional birdcall. "Last night they came, quietly at first. The first ones slew the guards before anyone knew what had happened. The dogs and serpents, working together. The fires were are first warning. They burned the grasslands, driving us into their nets. We fought, many were slain, more were captured."
He pauses and looks toward a pillar of thick greasy smoke rising from the pile of burning bodies. His shoulders slump and he goes back to his writing. "By what right do I survive? Am I being punished for some unknown deed? Or is this something twisted reward for a life well lived? What God to I blame? What God do I turn to for revenge? Justice? Absolution?"
He stares off into the distance, the horizon already shimmering in the heat. "I am all that remains free of my herd. I think I saw Ansora in the nets, she had our son in her arms. Do I dare hope they yet live? Do I throw my life at Lhesper? In the hope that I can single-handedly fight my way through the Gnolls and save my family from the Yuan-ti? Or do I trek to the Council Hills, or some other center of men, and beg assistance? In the hope that my family will still live by the time I return?"
A wistful look crosses his weathered face. He sets down the book and stares at hosting thick, blunt hands. He watches the rough callouses move as he flexes his fingers to pick up the book once more. "Would Theibor forgive me my failure? The dwarf trained me to defend the herd. Our herd traveled many months with his caravan when I was a child. Perhaps I should search for him or his kin to aid me." He finally speaks out clearly, "Whichever direction I choose, it is time to be on my way. Words will help me no further here."
He carefully folds the diary and places it in the pack before slowly rising. The impressive figure stands nearly 8 feet tall, a towering wall of muscle. His torso is broad and barrel chested. His small pale blue eyes peer sadly from his broad face. His simple hide armor is stitched with swirling lines of bright beads made of stone and bone. His tough wrinkled skin is marked with the scars of battles past. His left ear is notched and his right tusk is shorter where the tip is broken off.
He gathers his meager belongings, taking the time to don his armor. He moves slowly, with great deliberation, as if the world is too small and delicate for his massive form. He lifts the spears and slides them into a pouch on the side of his pack. Lifting the shield and strapping it to his arm, he takes one last look at the smoldering remains of his home and turns his back, striding into the Shaar.
Personality:
Braydok Firrith is quiet and somewhat melancholy, but not morose or morbid. He feels he failed his herd and someday hopes to redeem himself, either in their freedom or in the protection of others. He does not fear death, but intends to welcome it. Just not yet, not now. He is slow to anger, but once moving, quick to act. He can be suspicious of strangers, but loyal to those who manage to befriend him.
