Dmitri Valkov's page

I think the lesson to learn here is "don't play League of Legends."

;-)

Congratulations to everyone that made it in - I suspected I wasn't going to make it with the quality and quantity of submissions, but I enjoyed the exercise.

Thanks for considering me!

@Shenhua: You did absolutely nothing wrong. I've seen a great number of character submissions for a great number of online games. Never have I seen anyone go to the lengths you did to develop your character pamphlet (because calling it a sheet would be as great a disservice as calling a trip circumnavigating the globe "a short voyage"). If you didn't get in, I would be calling shenanigans.

@Dmitri: Excellent background! One point to keep in mind (it won't affect your backstory much but might be something you reference in character), when Kyonin was destroyed by a falling comet (around 7 years ago in-game history) there was a tidal wave that did significant damage to Razmiran's capital and much of the coastal villages and towns. Thousands died and many more were displaced. Razmir wound up working some [s]wish spells[/i]miracles to repair some of the damage, but there was a period of high taxation, homelessness and vagrancy greater than the country had ever experienced. Whether Dmitri's family was impacted directly or indirectly is something you may be able to use as character development later on :)

That's the one thing I wasn't sure about - I wasn't sure how Razmiran was affected by the failure of the APs, as I've not read most of them. In order to keep rewrites to a minimum, his family was far enough from the coast that they weren't displaced, but the region was flooded with a number of refugees. That influx of people meant the meager resources his family had were almost non-existent. What wasn't taken by the priests went to relief work, and I think it's safe to say that one or two of his siblings died from starvation. Just another thing that makes him question why Razmir can't just wave his hand a fix all of this for his people.

One more thing - any winter portals in or near Razmiran?

I'm not especially certain just yet. Backstory could suggest a bipedal creature with an ivory mask for a face, but I'm not especially married to that. His whole character concept is about questioning blind faith, so perhaps an angel dressed in motley or something like that would be more in character. The eidolon definitely is an extension of his psyche, that's for certain!

I, Dmitri Valkov, hereby submit myself to the College of Shadows under the sign of The Inquisitor.
