DM appears to have gone AWOL, no posts in any of the 3 games he is apart of in about a week but daily posts on his main account. In any case, I don't believe I want to be apart of a game where the DM takes extended breaks from his games with no warning to his players, especially when he remains active on the boards. So ill be withdrawing my submission to the game, good luck if he comes back.
Dremoran is an investigator, not an inquisitor thus why it's not explained, just fyi. Also I'm not seeing how you're finding a disconnect between his resentment of the unknown and the rest of the story. I tried to show Dremoran as a very curious young boy who was always looking to learn as much as he could. I'm not sure how that theme can be lost in his story?
Nope, don't hate it. But it should be justified by a good story surrounding it. I think you've done that. Cool, thanks :)
@Dremoran, Wealthy Parents is always a red flag for me, but I like your backstory. I thought it felt appropriate that he have an assortment of alchemical items on him, and it fit into his backstory well. If you absolutely hate it I suppose I can trash it, let me know.
All finished. Statistics:

Inspiration (Ex): An investigator is beyond skilled
Background: -------------------- Background -------------------- Dremoran Alterna was never satisfied with the concept of the unknown. To him, all things should be able to be both verified and quantified. Ever since he was a boy growing up in Magnimar, Dremoran has been on the hunt for answers. The Alterna family was a very well off one due to their grandfather’s life as an adventurer. Most of the family was content to attend social events and live their lives in luxury. Dremoran found this boring indeed, by the time he was seven he had already read and digested most all the books in the estates personal library, and spent most of his days either at Magnimar’s enormous library, or hard at work in his alchemist’s lab in the basement of his parent’s mansion. Another of Dremoran’s passions was inventing. At a young age he created a hand crossbow for himself after his mother signed him up for archery lessons. The exertion of using a bow and the amount of practice necessary to use one properly, seemed woefully inefficient to Dremoran, and so he built a device to do most all the work for him, much to his mother’s exasperation. Dremoran’s boredom around the house soon turned to mischief as his parents would routinely lock the doors to rooms they were entertaining guests in to avoid the children bothering them. And so Dremoran became quite adept at picking locks. This trait that proved useful when an explosion from his alchemist’s lab while experimenting with volatile materials blew Dremoran backwards through a false wall in his parent’s basement. Behind the wall lay a locked door, curiosity overtook Dremoran and he rushed upstairs to retrieve his tools. It took Dremoran much longer than normal to pick the lock on the door, but it eventually gave way. Inside he found a small room with an ornate chest, excited he opened the chest and inside he found a small silver key. Dremoran was ecstatic but it quickly subsided when he realized the key fit none of the doors in his house, and after checking everywhere he could, found no more false walls within the estate. Still, Dremoran couldn’t bring himself to throw away a trinket that he had earned, and so fashioned it into a necklace he wore around his neck. As the years past and he grew into a young adult, Dremoran felt he had extracted all he could from his life at home, and decided to set out into the world in search of new curiosities, mysteries, and hopefully, more answers.
Submitting Dremoran Alterna, human investigator extraordinaire. Crunch is done and in his profile, getting to work on backstory now. Let me know if you have any questions Dm of the Coins. |
