Good morning, I'm submitting Nero, a surly bad tempered old exiled noble and worshiper of Norgorber. Right now he's a oracle with the mystery of lore but willing to change that to fit the party. And I've got to check on the sources for the feats. Submitting before I get dragged off the computer. Hope today is better than the last.
It's average starting wealth, Saedue. I forgot, rolled, got less, noticed later, and then was happy. Only by 10gp, but its going to allow her to buy a coffee pot, and what adventure group can live without a coffee pot! Good Luck. :)
Hello everyone, the player's guide for mummy's mask mentions People of the Sands, which is not one I've read. Does anyone have it? If so, is it worth it?
Hello, I'm submitting Iuni's application to be one of the new yet unnamed group of treasure/fame seeking adventurers. Thanks offering up the opportunity. Even if she isn't accepted I had a blast making her over the last couple of days. Let me know if I left anything out or you want more details or if anything should change. Have fun deciding, I know it can't ever be easy. History:
Iuni is a bastard, not personality wise, though she has her moments like everyone else. Nope, her father (a Kelishte merchant) showed up from one of long caravans with a little baby half elf that was his. Her mother was a beautiful elven mage from an influential family with powerful trading connections, as well as being a bit of a slut. Said mother and her powerful family wanted nothing to do with a halfbreed, but keeping her alive cemented a trade partnership that the merchant and his wife could not turn down. So after the screaming, throwing of things, and one almost fatal stabbing, her new stepmother accepted the unwelcome new baby into the household. Her father weathered a few months of cold nights and burning hate filled gazes, then quickly found an excuse to go on another caravan, and died. Bandits, Inui was told, occasionally she thinks maybe her stepmother had him killed. Iuni had to be alive to keep the money flowing, but her husband did not. Life wasn't bad growing up. She was left alone as long as she stayed out of the way, and could read the moods of her stepmother and many older sisters well enough. She wasn't beaten, forced into slave labor, or told to eat her vegetables. She wasn't hugged, cradled, or even talked to much either. By the family at least. The servants liked her, and her father's library was amazing. The promiscuous man loved books even more than women it had seemed, so Iuni grew up reading and loving stories of adventures more than anything. When she came of age, she left the family estate and dropped the Kelish last name she never felt a connection to. Adopting the name of one of her heroes in a tiny kid's book she loved. Pennywax, adding the second at the end since she isn't the original. Now she would become the adventurer she had always dreamed of. The tombs of Wati had been one of her favorite sources of countless daydreams, so off she went.
Appearance:
Iuni isn't a stunning beauty, at best she's cute. But she does have the exotic grace of a elven maid combined the generous curves of a happy baker's daughter. With hair the color of fading butter, eyes so deeply brown one could lose themselves in them, and a smile that is true and pure, she can turn heads... well as long as there isn't anyone else with breasts and hair standing next to her that is. Sigh... Also she is rather short, and even worse, Pleasantly Plump as she would she rather you put it. Nothing like what a hardened adventure should look like. But she doesn't care, a hardened adventurer is what she IS!
------------------------- The Five Points:
five points of who she is: 1. A lover of knowledge and books 2. A clinger to friends 3. Watchful and wary 4. A stress eater, though fit, a bit on the plump side 5. Too curious, too eager for new experiences, for her own good 2 Goals To Live By:
1. ADVENTURE which can be many things, from fame, wealth, trinkets, but all secondary to the story. That is his ultimate goal, to be the heroine from a story. 2. To be part of a family. Not a husband and kids, she's still got a lot of life ahead of her, but a group of people so bound together they'd lay their life down for one another. 2 Terrible Secrets:
One she knows: She knows nothing about where her powers came from. One day after being scratched by a sister's cat, she suddenly mentally threw it so hard again the wall it went disgustingly splat. She gets headaches at times when using them, not crippling, but bad enough she is worried why. She won't stop using them though, it is what she thinks makes her special, a use to the group. One she doesn't know. Her stepmother's source of vast wealth dried up the moment it was found out Iuni had left, nearly a year ago. The trade contracts of her elven relatives seemed to be contingent on more than her simply being alive. Bounty hunters are searching for her, to drag her back kicking and screaming if need be. 4 Friends or Enemies:
1. Shai-Nefer, [mysterious mentor], a wealthy merchant-queen and owner of one of Eto’s premier trading houses, a friend of her fathers. Iuni had found letters bound together in the library that spoke of respect, maybe a fling, but enough Iuni sought her out when trying to find her bearings. It is Shai-Nefer who sent her Wati in the first place. [Osirion,Land of Pharaohs, page 6] 2. Jamila Shahine, [her stepmother and enemy she thinks she left behind], still beautiful, with a strong will, and a powerful ruthlessness. No longer overflowing with riches, she still is wealthy and uses those resources to hunt her stepdaughter down. 3. Jax Benthon[former lover]: A Chelaxian guard in a caravan Iuni had traveled with. And one that Iuni's desire for new experiences had lead her to do some rather regrettable things with, way too often. Jax is a little too on the thick side mentally and even though she had fun on the trip, she no longer desired to continue the relationship. Which would be fine if he had left with the first caravan, but he stayed on as a guard for a merchant in the next and the next. He is arrogant enough to not be able to get it through his skull she's moved on. 4. Khem: [friend of sorts] a quick witted apprentice cook who signed on to the caravan to get to Wati. He had plans, he says. A dream of a food stall, one specializing on Meat On A Stick. Says adventures always have to have one hand free to fight back evil, so a meal on a stick is perfect! Iuni never has any idea when he's serious or not, but he never seems to mind her uncontrolled giggles either way. 3 Sweet Memories:
1. "The Worst": her name for the time one of her "loving" sisters convinced her she was actually invited to one of her stepmother's parties. She was locked in a windowless room for a week. Only the most scared servants allowed to bring her food and changes of clothing. So a week alone, no books, no talking, just her thoughts. 2. "Leaving": The day she left her home, with a little more than a sack of extra clothes, her father's letters, and a pouch of money she has squirreled away. It was the most wonderful moment of her life. 3. "Proof": Adventures involve fighting, bleeding, and potentially joining Pharasma in the great beyond. She knew she'd have to face this after leaving her horrid safety. A ragged band of bandits hit her first caravan, got lucky enough to push through and she... she didn't die. A young man, looking decades older than he should, obviously starving did the dying instead. By her hand. He would have killed her for what little she had, she knew this, but still. The One Fear: A fear. Yes, she doesn't like rats, insects with more legs than sense, undead of course, getting trapped in pits, drowning, rabbits, being eaten alive by ants, etc. All perfectly good things to be afraid of. But The Fear is being alone. The gift her stepmother gave her time and again. Now that she's escaped the idea of it coming back could send her into a hysterical panic like no other.
Oh forgot about noting the reason why she was at the protest. Thank you for the reminder. Lyra is like Kiri above: Tagging Along(tagging with her chicken though instead of a much cooler intelligent sword). Will add that to her sheet.
Hello SilentSage, I'm submitting Lyra Weir a kitsune witch with her holier than thou chicken, Abraham. I used the emissary archetype on her familiar since he thinks he was sent by Imoedae guide her. But can easily remove that and just keep the chicken's thoughts as flavor. The kitsune part I like (the whole Fox and Hen thing) but Lyra could revert to being just a human. All her stats are in the alias. Posting once a day isn't a problem, formatting as well, grammar sometimes, and spelling... well there is spell check happily. Occasionally though, it betrays me. Thanks for the consideration,
