I currently reside in the Mountain Time Zone and have to work in the first half of the day. My posting time would probably be somewhere between 3pm-6pm and 8pm-11pm MST.
While I have done some online RP it is like you said I have not played Pathfinder like this yet. I was a little worried at first about how often and what times I'd have to post but to me it looks like we have a somewhat similar schedule. I will be able to at least post once per day. While I have a few years of D&D 3-3.5 and Pathfinder experience at the gaming table, it is as you said, I have not played it online like this before. I would like to try playing in your campaign but I will understand if you choose someone over me who is more experienced in PBP gaming.
Hello, I am new to the Paizo message boards and PBP game playing. However, I have partaken in online RP sessions before. So please bear with me if my posting is slightly unorthodox but I'm still learning by example from other users on the message boards. All that aside here is my proposed character.
Suddenly, the door is flung open and slammed closed. A human male stands with his back pressed against the wall, breathing heavily as if he had been running for quite some time. He looks troubled, and as though he doesn’t realize how loud his entrance was; as slowly and quietly as he can, he reopens the door he has just come through just a slight crack and peers outside.
The man wipes the sweat from his forehead, lets out a sigh in relief as he closes the door and under his breath says, “Phew! I think we lost em’.
He turns to take a better look at his surroundings and notices he isn’t the only one in the room. Right about when he tries to make an excuse for his sudden intrusion, the Caravan Master says, “I assume you are here to join our caravan?”
Within seconds, leaving no time for awkward silence, the man assesses his situation. He grins and looks Yalandere square in the face, “Yes. That is exactly what I am doing here. My name is Hethor, and I wish to join your caravan.”
“Were you just running from someone?” the Caravan Master asks.
Coughing, Hethor hastily explains, “Was I running from someone? Ha ha. No, of course not! I only wish to keep my body fit for I feel that idleness is a sorry way to go, so I enjoy daily jogs as often as I can.”
“Am I to believe that you often enjoy jogging at night?”
Hethor mutters something about jogging is best at night when the air is cool, but quickly tries to change the subject, “Anyways, never mind that I believe that you’ll find my …services… to be quite invaluable for I can let myself into a lot more places than others can.”
“So you’re a thief?”
Taken aback, Hethor tries to defend himself, “I try not to think of myself as a thief, but as a person whose only curse is that he is too curious and that maybe, just maybe, he indulges himself a bit too much in whatever he finds. Some might say I’m a trouble maker, but rest assured I only tend to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
“Hmm… I don’t know…”
“Please, I assure you that I will not be a bother. Surely you can find a place for some one of my abilities? I have a keen eye for danger and I have knack for opening locks and other arts requiring a sleight of hand. And believe me when I say, if you do decide to take me along, the sooner we leave the better. He he… gulp.”
Backstory:
Hethor is a human male rogue, with the Burglar alternate class feature found in the APG with the Hunted trait. He stands at average height with a light athletic build. While he isn’t unattractive by any means, he definitely isn’t good looking. Goofy would probably be used to describe him in one word, yet he doesn’t take any means to stand out in a crowd. Hethor is a young man in his late 20’s and hasn’t seen much outside of the city of which he has been living in (a city of which I’m not entirely sure what it’s proper title is for I am ashamedly unfamiliar with the specifics of the Pathfinder world though I do have all the core rulebooks but none that thoroughly explain the campaign world) Though I have played in a couple short Pathfinder based campaigns and if I had to choose I’d have to say Hethor hails from the city of Ptolus but I’m not sure where that is in relation to your campaign and I regrettably don’t remember too much about the city itself.
As for a back story, Hethor grew up as a lonely child on the streets. He is by no means an orphan, it’s just that he was born in the slums and when his family suddenly grew too large to be able to support him, his parents kicked him out and left him to fend for himself at the ripe age of 12. With no one to teach him any better he got himself in to a lot of trouble by taking everything he needed for himself and not caring who he got it from. Eventually he took up with a local gang of thugs who reveled in acts most would consider villainy. Hethor however was definitely not the brawn of the group was used to break into richer families homes and protected warehouses for a quick profit since he was always of a lighter build and the art of stealth seemed to come to him naturally. As soon as Hethor felt he was self trained sufficiently in burglary, he left his gang and went freelance. The gang he was with did not like this one bit and still hate him to this day, and even more so when he robs a place before they can get to it. His old gang is not his only enemy, for he has angered other criminals and rival organized crime syndicates, so much so that now he is running for his life. How Hethor has made it this far without dying is a wonder to all who know him well, for he doesn’t think his plans through very well.
Sorry about this being so long haha. I suppose it’s time to roll up some stats.
