Jovinus' Story:
Jovinus Corinne grew up as the child of magically gifted scribes, Gilrith and Yvonne Corrine. Gilrith & Yvonne, both trained at the Academy, where they met and fell in love. Both were very talented wizards and accompanied several adventuring parties after their graduation. After Jovinus was born however; they longed for a quieter and less adventurous life. They retired from adventuring and started a bookeeping and transcription business. Both were very talented and their abilities and discretion were sought after by the local nobility as well as most of the major businesses. Business flourished and they were able to pay for a better education for Jovinus, whom they groomed to take over the business. Unfortunately for Gilrith and Yvonne, Jovinus desired everything her parents had given up- adventure. In fact Jovinus enjoyed the physical exertion of adventuring as much as the intellectual pursuit of the arcane. Instead of focusing solely on the arcane, Jovinus melded her magic with melee and became an adept Staff Magus.
Yearning to pursue her dreams of being a famous adventurer, Jovinus has run away from home and her responsibilities to the family business in search of adventure. Hearing rumors of strange events in the small town of Sandpoint, Jovinus has traveled their to investigate things herself. Jovinus is a straight talking head first kind of girl. Unfortunately this sometimes gets her in trouble. Not known for her tact, Jovinus has a tendency to blurt out the first thought that comes to her mind when dealing with strangers. A "Good morning to you" followed by "why did you wear that? It makes you look fat!" is a common occurrence for Jovinus. While her parents are upset she has gone missing, none of the neighbors will miss Jovinus or her sharp tongue. Despite her tactlessness, Jovinus is actually a kind hearted and good person. She believes in doing what is right and fair. While she isn't a lawbreaker, she does find that laws sometimes interfere with doing what is right. A worshipper of Nethys, though not devout, Jovinus has studied the arcane and finds it interesting. As such she has taken time to become learned in the arcane as well as the history surrounding the arcane. Jovinus is a selfless companion to her adventuring parties just as likely to wade into combat as she is to sling spells. She tries to make herself a versatile asset to the party. Loyal to the last, she will never leave a companion in the lurch. For the crunch, feel free to check her profile.
I am EST posting. Multiple posts per day should not be a problem for me most days, unless i have a drill weekend which is once a month. I should be included in this AP because I am very excited to be starting one of my first PBPs. After over 20 years of gaming, it's good to get back to a text based game! I am reminded of the MUDs that got me in trouble in college! Aroden... Is that you? Wanna spar?
Yeah, I was thinking probably a tiger, wolf, or boar since they'd probably be the easiest to manage in a city setting. I play a druid with a wolf companion in a RL game and the DM has basically ruled that most common folk just mistake her for a dog or a half-breed wolf due to her (apparent) tame nature. I like the Boar. I see it as your protector. Heh a seeing-eye boar sounds like fun!
Jovinus is a human so no Dark Vision here. I dont even have low light! |
