The Questions!:

The Questions
1. Why are you in Sandpoint? Are you visiting or a local? Having recently finished studying religion in temples, libraries and monasteries throughout the Inner Sea, Kallista has decided to return to Sandpoint to check in on her old friend Ameiko, who she hasn't seen in almost a decade.
2. Which NPC are you connected to? Ameiko. They were good friends in their early teens. (Or what passes for an early teen for a gnome)
3. How would you describe your personality? Bright and a bit bubbly. Somewhat obsessed with learning about new religions and cultures based on the worship of gods. Friendly, somewhat impish in her humor and rather free-spirited. She doesn't always follow the rules, but has a very big heart in her tiny body.
4. What will your character contribute to the group? Primary Buffer/De-Buffer and Face. Can Heal and Use magic devices in a pinch. Some ranged damage with bow. A bit lacking in raw melee damage, but can hold her own if she must.
5. What are your plans for your character mechanically? I don't need to know a level-by-level progression, but where are you taking him/her? Mainly sticking with Bard for now.
6. What is your day job? Scholar, Charmer and Occasional Performer. You mean in character, right?

1a. Are you in another Jade Regent PbP? Nope. I am currently in only one other PbP, which would be DM Patcher's Serpent Skull, as Kythas.
2a. Why would you leave Sandpoint to travel to the other side of the World? To learn about strange new religions, Kallista would travel across the shifting realms of the infinite Abyss and explore the tortuous depths of the Nine Hells... well, maybe not NOW... but she's really looking to encounter new faiths and people to fulfill her gnomish OCD and if it means she gets to travel with her old friend Ameiko, then all the better!
