Appreciate the feedback, I was hesitant honestly to look up Ravenscraeg or too much about the Frozen Shadows for fear of spoilers. But I saw you wanted some kind of hook or reason for our character to want to join the adventure so I hoped maybe they stole his dog would suffice. Little bit of John Wick action mixed with some Liam Neeson Taken action there, simple motivations for a simple guy just trying to wander the land and get high on flayleaf with his dog.
I'd love to submit this character. I think he might be filling some of the categories your party needs. His name is Scruffy, he is a psychedelic Psychic. He loves eating all kinds of food and personally ingesting/smoking Flayleaf. He is a half elf out of Varisia but was currently traveling with his best friend and dog companion, Chestnut, north and has found himself in Kalsgard. Unfortunately do to a misunderstanding with some thugs, they stole his dog! Scruffy is normally pretty non confrontational and frankly quite scared of monsters. But he isn't above helping solve mysteries and will always help his friends in a jam. He is pretty motivated now to work with anyone that'll help him find his dog and get him back. Regarding the character, he is an intelligent based caster with wisdom/charisma as well. Doesn't exactly have all the face skills but can help or assist if needed. Has some knowledges, perception, a bit of linguistics. He brings some enchantment spells, not really any blasting spells, some single target damaging spells as well as some nice buffs and some nice debuffs.
A rather ditsy looking Half-elf stumbles in, smelling of earth and dirt and smoke, with sticks and leaves in her hair, both woven in a band and just haphazardly stuck its clear she spends her in time in the forest. With nothing but simple form-fitting robes and slippers she seems rather unimpressive. "Oh man, like the Bloodsworn Vale? I heard there was some absolutely righteous roses there. I'd like love the chance to get in there and just like try some of those plants. Like what properties do they possess?" As she pulls up a chair she pulls out a large leaf that is wrapped around a batch of pastries. "Oh man, you just like have to try these, they'll like make things all funny." Taking a bite herself she'll introduce herself as she chews "Omph, like I'm Rainbow Starshine, like have you ever seen a rainbow at night, like wow," She is a Half-Elf raised by humans in the Varisian town of Ravenmoor, she is a Psychedelia school Psychic and smokes/eats flayleaf which is Golarion's Marijuana. This is a character I had wanted to use for PFS but the rules just weren't right for her there. If you are okay with a character that uses a drug like marijuana, I'd love to play in your game. I've included the drug's stats, both bonuses and penalties in my character sheet. Really they are more for favor, the bonus is small and the penalty is small but I think that authenticity is important in character design. As to her being in the area, Varisia is rather close by and she is kind of a wanderer, communing with nature and just experiencing the world. All the while looking for more psychedelic plants to expand her awareness of the world and the spirits around here. |
