Added more detail to background.
Absolutely, my heart goes out to your city. Glad you're ok.
Background and Appearance for Sarenrae's Hitman. (Background still developing) Background
Spoiler:
Step 1: Write five things about your character’s concept and background, five things that you think are the most essential parts of your character. You don’t have to stop at five, if you like…this is just a minimum.
6) Step 2: List two goals for the character that you, as a player, think would be cool to see accomplished in-game.
Step 3: List two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help me in creating plots that center around your character. I will also be creating a third secret which you as a player will not be aware of, so expect some surprises! 1)Gregori was once on the verge of falling, having descended into depression and rage after the death of his love Tania against a horde of orcs. Unable to forgive himself, he spiraled into violence and rage, seeking perhaps a violent end in battle. Brought to the brink of death after taking on a pack of trollhounds that were preying on an outlying village, his inner hate festering to the point where he found himself stripped of his resistance, the Bloodfire fever burning within him, he had a vision. Whether hallucination or divine providence he would never be able to say for sure, but in that moment Tania came to his side, and convinced him to release the poisionous rage that was slowly eating away at him. The tattoo that he bears over his heart, a circle made of equal portions of light and shadow interlocked serves to remind him that in even the greatest warriors of light lies darkness that must be acknowledges and controlled, and that by the same token, in the darkest of hearts may be a glimmer of light. Step 4: Describe three people that are tied to the character though blood, romance or honor. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. All can do something useful for you, if you can get the situations to line up. If you like, you can include an enemy of yours here as well, so I have an instant NPC nemesis to throw at you. 1) One of the most influential people in Gregori’s life has been his mother. A much respected priestess of Sarenrea whose meteoric rise within the church was exceeded only by her wisdom, she is the primary reason that while driven by strong emotions and conviction, Gregori also possessed a sharp tactical mind and a broad perspective of most situations. She is the one who has instilled in him the sliver of humility that keeps his ego in check. Step 5: Describe three memories that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor. 1) The battle in which Tania fell. Description
Spoiler: Gregori Tall, dashing, extremely well muscled, Gregori seems a temple statue brought to vivid life. In his stylized armor, fully equipped he virtually radiates an aura of martial divinity, ready to stike at the heart of evil. From his flawless appearance to his stunning smile and roguish grin with just a hint of playful mischief, the man seems kissed by Sarenrae herself.
Will have background up tomorrow sometime.
Would any of the settlements have a large temple of Sarenrae? I see Gregori as almost being Sarenrae's hitman so to speak. The church tends to come to him when something dark, scary and dangerous needs killing.
I present The Light in the Darkness Gregori Shadowbane Working on background
Considering a deep walker ranger or some sort of tomb raiding bard.
I'd be down for Legacy of Fire. I have a Bellydancing Bard that fits the setting. It was a blast to go through and this is one hell of a group.
Hell this is starting to look like a TPK
Ka'kara: What I think happened is that the demon pulled off a 2 parter. First teleporting me to where he was standing then using 2 illlusions, one made him look like me, the other made me look like him. So while it looked like you and I flanked the demon, it was actually you and the demon flanking me. Ad yeah, the last round alone did 100pts damage to me. As much as I hate to say it, I'm dead."
Previous round
Black Tom:
With a roar of divine fury Gregori erupts into blazing violence, shimmering blade slicing deep into the demon's foul flesh as he seeks to send the foul outsider back to the pits of hell.

Hasted attack
False rolls below
Gregori's blade sweeps in a powerful arc seeking the demon's head.
Black Tom:
Drawing on the inner wealth of blazing divine fury granted by his goddess Gregori reaches out with his mind, calling to the sacred spirit tied to his sword, the chill dark metal blade shimmering with a golden light as the edgees seemed to glint with razor sharpness. As he does so he focuses, healing power flowing into him, preparing him for the battle of his life.
Gregori shield comes up to deflect the demon's attacks, his sword swinging in a high arc, attempting to bite into the fiend's neck.
Gregori raises an eyebrow,staring at the young cleric, then the werewolves, but remaining silent.
"Sounds like whatever won this fight is still here." Gregori says fanning out to cover more of the room.
"Yeah I'm not even bothering to tryy and see the evil here, does anyone have any questions before I split this thing in half?" Gregori asks shifting into an attack stance.
"Excellent, because I was getting bored with giant rats and undead heroes".Gregori mutters dryly.
Gregori chuckles picking up the hammer and arrows.
With the number of undead around, the warhammer would beuseful against the more skeletal ones. Does anyone else use a bow?" Gregori asks as he peruses the catche of weaponry.
Gregori wades in on the opposite side to Ka'kara Bade slicing wikedly into the undead.
Gregori strides into the room veering to the left. Fort
Gregori's countenance seems to erupt in a righteous blaze as pulsing golden light radiates from him. The golden glow spreads forth, washing over his friends and fortifying them with a touch of his trademark confidence.
"Tika, stop making her crazy and just open this mystical hidden magic door of yours."
Gregori grins at Roylenna's quip, looking at Ka'Kara and nodding before descending on the filthy direrat infestation, blade flashing.
Gregori turns his soul searching gaze on the bound man assessing whether the man was worth the risk to his friends.
Gregori allows his vision to shift, glaring deep into the souls and deeds of the ogres, while keeping his expression unchanged.
"I don't know. I don't speak monster, but I know hostility when I hear it. And that sounds like the preamble to an ass kicking."
"You do realize there's sombody probably arguing on the other side of that door, right?" Gregori asks, blade resting on the shoulder plate of his armor.
A slight grin crosses the Paladin's face as her turns, first with his head, sparing a momentary glance for the door before following Ka'kara's lead.
"This warrior, from the artwork it looks as though he may have changed sides in the end." thge Paladin says, his voice tightly controlled.
"The feeling and look of the script is like writings I've seen Asmodean priests use, but the spacing and....I don't know...flow of it feels familiar. Whatever it is it can't be good." Gregori scratches his head.
Gregori hooks his hammer back on his belt, bending to retrieve his sword.
Reacting with surprising speed Gregori drops his sword point down, the razor sharp blade sticking into the ground as he draws a warhammer from it's place in his belt, while slamming his shield into one of the skeletons, the polished steel lion's head animating with a roar, steel teeth claming down on black bone.
"Makes sense,"Gregori says as he follows down the highway.
"Or contain a vile tobacco spittle monster that willalmost kill you for going too close if our current trends stand." Gregori mutters
"Rat skeletons mean that thre's nothing even rats would eat, poison, or something very hungry down here. This is getting more screwed up by the minute." the Paladin says as he stand up, sword drawn, surveying the scene.
Gregori glances at Roylenna with a raised eyebrow, which dissolves into a roguish grin. "And I think you're entirely too perceptive, little lady." he replies in a whisper of his own. "Although I'm not sure I'd use the word sweet."
Gregori also crouches beside Roylenna, scanning the arm to determine what severed it, and approximately how long ago.
Gregori strides over to Ka'kara and without a word slips a gauntleted arm around her waist, suprisingly warm as the barbarianess feels as if the summer sun were spreading across her back and midriff, radiating through her body.
"That should help," the Paladin says with a grin.
Init Despite having an interesting outlook on things I am still a Paladin.He's still breathing, wish him good luck and move on.[/ooc] Current Campaign
