Well... ya certainly talk alot... the tiefling notes before seeing the Dabus fall to the ground.
Fell... Glyphimor says knowingly through gritted teeth. The tiefling bent down, grabbed the Dabus, and pulled him back to his feet.
Having trouble keepin' on yer own two feet, Fell?
The tiefling gives Attai Kah little regard as he continues pushing his way through the crowd shoving with horns and stamping with cloven hooves. Only when the Smoldering Corpse is clearly in sight, does he pause to reply gruffly, Name's Glyphimor. He seems to care little about making friends in the sea of berks and is much more focused on locating his next pint.
Glad to have you aboard :) Also, Litany, you might want to try PMing the others? It is possible they didn't see the gameplay thread go up.
Why with this sodding mess? Can't a berk get a lousy pint of bub? an older tiefling grumbles to himself while shoving through the crowd trying to get to one of his favourite nearby taverns. He starts forcibly moving people out of his way if they don't let him cut through the crowd, Get outta me way, or I'll put ya down in the deadbook meself. He has the washed up appearance of someone who has hit hard times and has little left to lose. And he certainly doesn't seem like he can be bothered by some silly event at a broken down old temple. In the process of bowling over anything in sight, he rams through a bizarrely ornate and painted up sylph causing Glyphimor to trip. Watch where ya're goin', Berk! Sodding Genasi running around like ya own the place!
Well sinc eI'm practically in anyway let me make an alias and get a very absic backstory in. I think I want Xaoc to be a character whose past develops as I figure him out. Rather fitting that a creature of chaos would have a back story that isn't rigidly planned out in advance :)
Oops! I misread that. Stats have been altered accordingly: boosted Int to 20 (+6) and lowered Wis to 9 (-1) for a new total of 20. And my profile page shows the corrected character sheet. Thanks! Bit of a Backstory: Glyphimor has been banging around the Cage for more than a century, and if the rumours are true, he is a fair bit older than the 217 he claims. A tiefling born to a elven woman from the material plane, both were immediately outcast due to his ram horns and devilish tail. She did not live long enough to see him to adulthood, and the half-elf/half-outsider raised himself always looking for a road to redemption and greatness. Having heard stories of his outsider father and the planes beyond, Glyphimor spent much of his young adulthood studying and training while looking for a way off the material plane. When he finally arrived in Sigil with a party of pilgrims and explorers, he set out to make a name for himself and to prove his worth. If he could become someone of importance here, then he would be able to prove to his elven ancestors that they were wrong to reject him. Disaster struck in a foray into the Blood Wars. Out of the sorry group of berks who traveled to make themselves a legend, Glyphimor was the only one to make it out alive. He came back to Sigil changed and no longer carrying for his legacy, the would be family on the material plane, or any desire to better himself. Seeing nothing but futility in the spinning of the great cosmos, he resigned himself to live out the rest of his days in Sigil. In the Cage he became something of a fixture and familiar face in several taverns. Most importantly he became well versed in the cant, the chant, and the most potent spirits. For the last 120+ years, he has done little but be a drunk and source of wallow. Some say he still has the gift for knowledge, magic, and a hint of swordplay, but few still living in Sigil can attest to ever having seen those talents displayed.

@LitanyOfCurses, here is my submission, I assumed the standard starting gold of 150, but I can make adjustments as needed to my equipment. If anything doesn't seem to flow right with the campaign as you envisioned it, let me know, and I can rework it. (I can also work up a more traditional character submission, such as a human or tiefling, if you would prefer that). Box is a rogue modron who has ended up hipped in Sigil. It is unknown why he was separated from Primus and ended up away from Mechanus, and it is unknown exactly how long ago this happened. But what is known is that he's been stuck banging around The Cage becoming engrossed in finding out everything there is to know about everything. He is driven to sort all the facts of the planes into a structured, ordered model of everything. He is also determined to understand more about his new-found place in the multiverse as an individual instead of one of the Marchers. He still struggles greatly with social interactions and grasping the chaos of humanoid interactions, but he is making progress. Box's name came from the fact that nearly every berk in the Cage called him "Box," so Box assumed that must be his name. Box's Character Sheet: Modron investigator (empiricist) 1 LN Medium outsider (android, native) Init +3; Senses darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +4 -------------------- Defense -------------------- AC 17, touch 13, flat-footed 14 (+3 armor, +3 Dex, +1 natural) hp 10 (1d8+2) Fort +1, Ref +5, Will +2; +2 vs. illusion, +4 racial bonus vs. mind-affecting effects, paralysis, poison, and stun effects Defensive Abilities constructed, illusion resistance; Resist acid 5, cold 5, fire 5 -------------------- Offense -------------------- Speed 20 ft., fly 30 ft.

By the way everyone; I'm a major fan of everyone playing what they want, but doesn't anyone want to play non-melee? We've got two bards, two monks, two rangers, a magus... Got you covered with focus on support/ranged/arcane :) Also, what were you looking for in terms of backstory for submissions? I didn't want to get too in depth yet on writing something up so I could make sure it fits the theme of the campaign.
They are in ultimate equipment and pretty nifty. :)
Both your archetype and the key feat are Golarion-specific, therefore off the table. Feel free to make adjustments and then I can have another look. :) Ah, I see. Well I've changed her direction to be an archeologist bard flirting the line between rogue/arcane and going for a ranged build.
Ok, here is my submission so far. I decided to go a bard route instead of a cleric. But I'm still open to changes that would better fit your campaign style. I still haven't added weapons/armor/gear, but she will definitely use a scimitar. -Sersi |
