Do you know what region you might place the campaign in? In the OP it mentions being somewhere in the Shaar/Lake of Steam/Border Kingdoms region-- I think we're starting in Border Kingdoms but it's reasonable for your character to have been from the other two?
So your character uses magic, interesting nice I am looking forward to seeing what you have so I can spin something up and pass it by you to see what you think. Also with that being said if you were to make this D-Bee what would you have had them focussing on -- class wise. I want to make sure I am starting down the proper path. Well, I don't want to be too prescriptive about the character you're creating, but you could go for something not 'magic' but still magical, like a psionic, a mystic, something like that? Or Maybe go with more of a focus on the mundane instead as an Operator, City Rat, something like that-- Faustus has defined himself solely by his magical abilities, which he has worked since birth to attain, while your psionic abilities are just something you have, ultimately a single part of you, useful but not your profession, your life, anything like that.
Soren's Story: The Flareheart family has a long and storied history, but what is most important is their position in the last hundred years or so. Soren's Grandmother, a woman who had a long apprenticeship under a wizard, but also a keen eye for business. Moving from Calimshan to Mintar, she built herself a well-renowned shop offering various minor magical gimmicks. Her children took over the business, and their children (Soren included) were to take it over themselves when the time was right. From a young age Soren was taught The Art (as best a Sorcerer could be taught), with a particular focus on the crafting of magical items. Not just gimmicks, but those powerful few items sought out by adventurers.
And things were good for the Flareheart family. Soren wanted for little, and with a quick wit and ample passion, he had made fast friends with a fair few folks. However, few could expect what would come next. The church of Xvim marched on Mintar, and in a short manner of time controlled the entire city, ruling with an iron fist. The Flarehearts were a stubborn sort, unwilling to abandon what they had built to flee for Saelmur like many others. In staying, those of the Flareheart clan were given an ultimatum; serve Bane in creating magical items for his armies, or serve as a sacrifice for his glory. For a time, the Flarehearts played along. The gold they were paid got smaller and smaller, the orders they needed to fill larger and larger, but they stayed, secretly training Soren in not just The Art, but swordplay that he might one day be able to defend them. However, after the construction of the Scepter of the Tyrant's Eye, the head of the family, Flint, could bear it no longer. He said the Flarehearts would refuse to provide anything else to Darkhope. The retribution was swift, and sad. Soren's father, his mother, his aunts, his uncles... they were all flayed, then left to freeze to death without their skin. Soren and his kin were made to watch. In that moment he realized he had no interest in revenge, or heroism, or destiny. He just felt pain, and he needed to flee it as fast as possible. The next day, Soren fled the city with what little he could gather, and forded the Steam Lake down south to the Border Kingdoms.
I'm not super sure how often you'd really be using the traps unless the campaign was based around defending specific places as opposed to exploring/conquering them. Unchained Rogue seems like a safer bet, but PA Hunter could be more fun if you were able to actually use your traps relatively frequently.
Alright, going for a Fire Gensai Eldritch Scion Magus. Rolling for Wealth.
EDIT: okay that didnt work ill just do 4d6 and then multiply by 10 after lol
I'm definitely interested in playing this, but how would level adjustment work exactly? Are we simply not allowed to play something like a Fire Gensai, or should we use the Ifrit stats instead?
I had been waiting on Dejoker so we could collaborate on a background, but I'll write something up tomorrow and if they're still interested I can alter as needed.
You could break up your powers so that they will be easier to read. Done!
Currently putting everything into an alias, will for sure be done by the end of the night. As for type of D-Bee I was thinking of initially, either a Fennodi or Trimadore. As for the relationship, while I started with the idea of romance in mind, I kind of like the idea of fate just pushing them together super often and them becoming a weird mix of rival/friend. As for personality, I was going to play my character as relatively unassuming, mild mannered, not particularly flashy or anything, but deeply obsessed with increasing his own magical power. Not out of ambition to rule the world or anything, it's just an OCD type thing.
So Kafka I see you might like a D-Bee partner any particular kind of D-Bee you would like to bounce off of or will just about anything do? Elton asked me to drop in and make a character as I played in his last Rifts game. I was originally thinking just an NPC that my character was romantically involved with, when I said D-Bee partner, but having two PCs be connected is always super fun if you wanna do that I'm super down! I'm down for pretty much anything, race OR connection wise. What were you thinking? Childhood friends inseparable since birth? Two people who just can't stop running into each other? Romantic partners? Also, character is almost done, just need to decide on what to do with these funds and then copy it all into text.
Alright, decided on a Ley-Line Walker ultimately. = Gain the Concentration Edge
Cool!
Oh, I forgot to ask, I assume we're rolling for starting wealth and on the hero's journey tables-- should we just use the inline forum roller to do so? Is in here fine?
Since it's a rules light system, I think I'll avoid using a pregen If that's alright? I grabbed and have been reading the required materials and have been using the licensed SW character builder to mess around and I think I understand character building decently well. I wanna go with a Power user like a Techno-Wizard or Mind Melter or some such, probably a human from Caledonia with a D-Bee partner from Caledonia heading to New Salt Lake.
I've never played Savage Worlds, and I'm not too too familiar with the Rifts setting, but its always looked so cool to me, I'd love to join! This would be my first time doing PBP on Paizo's forums, too, so if you're looking for someone with a little more experience on that end I understand. How should we get these ready made characters to you? |
