Lirana Caldori |
Working on a late submission now. She is a Neutral, Human Cleric.
Here are my answers to your questions:
1. Why is your character fleeing Galt? Are they from a neighboring nation? What attracts them to this expedition? Be specific!
Lirana's mentor in both the clerical and alchemical arts found himself under the executioners axe for a role he played in a noble house losing the head of it's household and getting a new one.
Fearing that she could be seen as a lose end, Lirana is rather anxious to get out of the city and get as far away from the executioner's axe as possible. This is the first expedition out of the city that she has heard of and is rather desperate to become part of it.
2. In character, write your pitch to the noble as to why your character should be taken along. The rendezvous point is a secret, so you must convince the noble that your character is trustworthy.
"Excuse me sir. If I may have a moment of your time, I'd like to express my sincere interest is joining your expedition. I have some ability as a healer and a cook. Both are things that would be valued on any long journey. You never know when someone could get injured venturing into the unknown and dealing with wild animals. I would be very useful."
3. Long term, what role does your character hope to play in the fledgling community? Start a business? Range outside the town to scout for threats? Serve in or lead the militia? Found a temple to their deity? Establish a thieves' guild? Dream as big as you like!
Lirana would eventually run a two-tiered business. The top tier and public face of the business will be a alchemist's shop that will focus on such things as healing potions and other helpful items.
The second tier and secret part of the business will be a darker alchemist shop for those interested in more illegal dealings and it will also be home to a shrine to Blackfingers (Her patron deity and a facet of Norborger).
