Sorry, guys, my internet is broken and they're not exactly rushing to fix it ... not sure when I'll have full access again ... but I'm still here~

Leiara doesn't seem particularly afraid of the forest. She pats Zoom, who she's brought with her, the big dinosaur tromping along behind them. Seeing that people are all buffing up, she shrugs. Scales crawl across her features, and her eyes go a bit feral and reptilian, coloring similar to that of Zoom's.
...don't tell Leiara! :)
Leiara relaxes a bit. Most of that went over her head, but what she heard was 'cover the world in green', so then she grins at Min. Too bad that just makes her look creepy.
Leiara scowls, "Leave the trees alone." She says flatly. "Build your city somewhere else."
"Would that kill the forest?" Inquireth the suspicious druid.
"Well, of course! You still haven't explained what you want with it." Leiara says.
Leiara blinks about the forest, eyeing Min narrowly.
She says, "I'd love to investigate this forest." She toys with the gem around her neck.
Min's city, it appears! Leiara opted to stay and fill her tank of water, not being pArticularly interested in demons.
Leiara is in Min's city! :D She seems bored. She is currently creating water into a big glass tank-thing she made instead of a house.
Leiara does flap back to the capital eventually. She's a bat, with a shiny stone around her neck. She circles around looking for anyone who's made it back from ... wherever.
Yep, Leiara would have agreed, taken the note, and then disappeared. She didn't mention going anywhere. But no worries, she'll be back soon!
Leiara is lounging about with Zoom after whatever her interrogation uncovered - She looks up lazily at Min. "Oh, I guess," She says with a slight yawn. She takes the note to read.
Sorry about the slowness, guys! :) On vacatiion, so off having fun and stuff. XD
"Don't be silly, you're not going to die! I'm a healer, don't you know?" It hasn't occurred to Leiara that he wouldn't. "But you were made to sing? That's not very fun at all. Nini sings for me, but she likes it. That's too bad. I wanted to hear." Leiara pouts audibly.
Leiara, indeed, quite likes the rap, clapping and laughing like a little kid. Then she trips down the stairs lightly with Nini to visit the prisoner. She lets herself in with the keys, and a happy little coo, "Awww. He's all decorated for us!" She tells Nini happily. She pets the prisoner's tattoos - its not even sensual really, more like he's a small puppy with fluffy ears she can't resist touching or something. "Diaz tells me that you won't sing for him. But he's not very nice, so, I guess that makes sense. I'm real nice ... if I ask nice, will you sing for me?"
Leiara seems excited to be giving a task! She can go talk to them and maybe set things on fire. She does pout a bit when Nini decides to come with her, but doesn't protest. "Okay, well, I want to hear a song first." She waggles the key that Diaz gave her.
Leiara perks up a bit."Can I go talk to him?"
Just letting you all know, tomorrow, I'll be getting on a plane to the US. So there will be a huge gap of time where I will most likely not be online. I might check in from Beijing, but I can't guarantee it. Also, I'll be in the states for about a week, and I'm sure I'll have internet at various points, but I'll also be moving stuff and visiting friends, so I might not be available quite as much as I have been. Aside from my day in the Beijing Airport I should manage once a day just the same though!
Leiara looks up when Mr. Jingles comes in, but gives a disappointed sigh, and goes back to playing with her armor. "Just tell me who to light on fire." She nods a bit.
Leiara loiters at the table, playing with the spiky edge of one of the leaves that comprises her strategically revealing amor. Its safe to say about ninety percent of what Old Smoky says is lost on her, she's busy pouting because Zoom (4) wouldn't fit in here. The imperious and vacant-expressioned druid is thus bored. And she sighs. "Whatever, can we just go kill them already? I'll set fire to them or something. She shrugs. Adventurers are easy. And warfronts are beyond her. Leiara figures that killing everyone is probably just the easiest course of action, regardless of how difficult that might actually be. Its certainly the simplest!
ROARRRRR DRUID SMASH! Like so!
Hmm. I know I am missing something...
Hmm. I dunno how I got a point over, but my calculations tell me you are correct! Drop a point from Charisma and she's good. :)
Isnt that what bracers of armor are? :)
Sorry, blagh. Having a hard time updating and fixing this stuff from my ipad. ><
Hmm. I shall calculate! Also, how'd I miss traits?! Derpderp.
I'm pretty sure Twil is Eastering. He usually posts pretty frequently on the campaigns we're both in. :)
I dunno, in terms of DnD I've always used comeliness as a vague reflection of Charisma - Leiara is pretty, but to balance her Charisma score not being that high, she's also creepy and looks evil. I've had plenty of really charismatic characters that aren't necessarily pretty, but just have big personalities. And my favorite is the low charisma character that isn't necessarily ugly, just isn't very pretty and is instead rude. Or awkward. XD TLDR: I don't care either way. XD
Does jungle count as forest? :)
@Smoky - Yep, Shapeshifter/Bear Shaman :) FIxing Hps. @Min - Sounds like fun! Leiara would be totally behind that. :) This character needs partners in crime; otherwise she'll just be growing forests in deserts minus the water. XD
On the note of me being dumb, Smoky, any suggestions on my sheet are welcome. :)
...seriously, I think Leiara's stats may be accurate for me. LOL. Thanks. :) Got it now,
Oh! Got it. I was thinking drakehide was also a material. Derp.
K, so I'm buying it instead of spending material points, eh?
Oh, I know what my question was. It was about using Ironwood as a material point. I still need to do ... consumables. For Leiara.
Yaaaay! :D Hi! I'm sure I had questions, but my brain is less than fully functional this morning, so I'll think of them soon!
Here's my picture for Leiara. :D Yes, I know, its a wow character, but she just looks so evil. Haha.
I can't claim credit for that, I stole it from Twil. :D
Also fixed the horrific textwalls in Leiara's fluff. Sorry. >.>;
Leiara’s Background, finally done!
Leiara’s concept elements:
Step 1: Write 5 background and concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character. These can be a concept overview, a list of important life events, a physical description, a personality profile...whatever you need to get an image in your mind.
1) Leiara is a jungle druid / ranger. Born and raised in a continent and climate similar to the Mwangi jungle, she is one of the few half-elves of the elf tribes that actually lived in these hot rainy forests. She is close to dinosaurs and other jungle animals as a result of her wild upbringing (or lack of it). 2) Leiara is tall and pretty, in a cruel sort of way. Like an evil queen should, her most prominent feature is probably her winged eyebrows that just lend her whole face an air of … mean-ness that’s easy to spot a mile away. With straight, jet-black hair and bright green eyes that blaze in her porcelain white skin, she simply does not fit in anywhere. Not with elves, for all her ears are very exaggerated for a half-blood, for she is too short and has more of a sturdy human frame than the frail elven one. Not with humans, either, since she has that unearthly perfect skin and eerily colored eyes. Not in the jungle, as she is too pale and delicate looking compared to the generally dark skinned inhabitants of the Mwangi expanse. And certainly not in a city, as she wears armor made of wood decorated with curling vines of gold paint. The rest of her armor appears to be made of various saw-edged jungle plants. She’s never wearing shoes. All in all, though she is beautiful, there is something simply off about her. 3) Leiara is dumb as a post. She has decided that the world needs to be returned to a green state. Her nature as a druid makes her feel destruction to the environment very keenly, though she probably couldn’t explain why. While that might make her good, in a general sense, she takes it to a frightening extreme, using the higher level druid spells to level towns and grow forests (or that’s the plan when she gets them anyway). Humanoids have never treated the half-elf well, so she’d just as well see Golarion rid of them all. Stupid as she is, that seems like an excellent idea to her, though to be honest she’s not really intelligent enough to pull it off. So she’s content to loiter in her jungle, randomly smiting any unlucky adventurers into it, and playing with the dinosaurs. As far as she’s concerned, her ‘kingdom’ is perfect the way it is. Wild and untouched, where the laws of the wild are the laws of the land. Leiara sees herself as nature’s voice (and arm. And teeth. And any other part that occurs to her at the time.) And nature … she’s a b&%*%. 4) Leiara’s animal companion is a large Tyrannosaurus named Zoom The Fourth. He is Zoom The Fourth because there were three other Zooms before him. She didn’t kill them, though her various ‘adventures’ did get them killed. Leiara flies into a rage if anyone asks her about them, though again, she probably couldn’t tell you why. Somewhere in her black little heart she feels bad about their deaths, probably the only thing she would ever have an attack of conscience over. Zoom I (Leopard) – Died fighting a Tyrannosaurus when Leiara happened to choose one’s lair for a place to build her ‘palace’. Zoom II (Raptor) – After the incident with Zoom I, Leiara took somewhat of a fancy to the dinosaurs that she had found in her realm. She couldn’t corner another Tyrannosaurus or get one to obey her yet, so she called a smaller version. Died while breaking into one of the old ruins in her ‘Kingdom’ – she tried to stuff it down an ancient chimney to get it inside and it suffocated. Zoom III (Tyrannosaurus) – Her first Tyrannosaurus! Leiara had this one for a while. It was killed by a giant vorpal parrot because Leiara wouldn’t play guessing games with it (She knew she’d lose). There must have been animal companions before these … Leiara tends to go through them like tissue paper. It makes her very grumpy, but she puts them in dangerous situations out of sheer stupidity. Her current plan is to buy gear for Zoom IV so it doesn’t die. The absurdity of a dinosaur wearing a cape (or hat) has not occurred to her. 5) Leiara allows a few odd humans to loiter in her domain, but they don’t tend to stay for long, particularly because any cutting down of trees, hunting of animals, or building of fires results in death by Tyrannosaurus. Or other stupid but evil punishments. (Murder house?) Leiara has a tendency to make up games that only make sense to her. Leiara’s Goals:
Step 2: List at least two goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game.
1) Leiara wants to gear up Zoom IV so he won’t die. She’ll do this at the expense of her gear. Stupid. 2) Leiara wants to grow more forests. She doesn’t much care where. She’d probably try to grow one in a desert. Stupid. 3) Personally I want to see some of the more clever characters trick or convince Leiara into helping them, just to see her try to do things in her simplistic, over-kill kind of way. Don’t ask the druid for help! She’ll do something crazy! And stupid! Leiara’s Secrets:
Step 3: List at least 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.
1) There are some interesting old ruins in her Kingdom, as yet undiscovered by the rest of the world. Leiara would prefer them stay that way, lest Pathfinders and other obnoxious sorts come to poke around. Its part of the reason she guards her domain so fiercely from meddlers. 2) Some of the elves back home remember her. If she gets too famous, they might send some adventurers to ‘take care of her’ out of guilt for creating such a monster. Leiara’s People:
Step 4: Describe at least three people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile.
1. Leiara has one (1) druid friend, a fellow NE crusader for forest’s rights. He is a full elf, the only one that Leiara trusts or at least doesn’t hate on sight. His name is Aradel. She maybe has a little crush on him. It annoys her. But he’s a wandering sort, so doesn’t show up often. 2. Does Zoom count? Leiara really doesn’t have many friends… 3. Ah, the list. The main ones would be the elves she hates from her mistreatment when she was a child from that old jungle tribe. She’s forgotten their names and they’ve almost forgotten her … but should that hatred spring up again, it would be fierce. There may also be people she’s chased out of her domain, starving tribes of natives that want to eat the bounty of animals on her land … you name it, they probably hate her. Leiara’s Quirks:
Step 5: Describe three memories, mannerisms, or quirks that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor.
1. The bear thing is just because Leiara likes bears. She saw some once in a circus. They don’t survive well in a jungle though, as she found out the hard way when she tried to import them. 2. Leiara gets bored easily, and will make up games to entertain herself. Her games usually involve challenges (against herself or others) involving her skills specifically so if she were playing against an opponent she’d always win. She’s too dumb to rig it in any way that isn’t completely transparent. 3. Once Leiara gets an idea in her head, its stuck there. And she will pursue it doggedly to whatever end, regardless of any change in circumstances or plans. Anything else I need to add? Materials, consumables ...
@boss - Ironwood is, at least in Herolab, considered a 'material' - I forgot to divvy out material points. I assume that's because making stuff out of it includes the cost of the spell being cast permanently on the wood used to make it. (I knew I forgot something) Would you consider it one? How many points is it if so?
Ok! I THINK she is now finished except for fluff which is for the morning ... This is the part I'm unsure about, did I do it right? XD Inherent bonuses: Used inherent ability bonus to +2 strength
Used Resistance bonus on +2 saves Used weapon enhancement bonus as Amulet of Mighty fists +2 (on claws) Used armor enhancement bonus on Ironwood Breastplate (+2) Item 1 - +1 Ironwood Terbutje
Ooooooooohhhhhh. You get an enhancement bonus to 1 weapon AND AC? That was the part I was missing, I think. I love your examples, btw. :) |
