Got the crunch down, gonna work up the backstory next

Do you accept drawbacks for 1 additional trait? If not its cool, only curious cause thats the last part of my crunch.

I allow a drawback in exchange for a trait, but only one such trade off.

Ended up deciding against the drawback. Short backstory and Crunch should be all finished :3 hope to jump on in


Still working on mine at the moment to submit to you. Going with a Ratfolk Sniper/Bolt Ace. Gonna go Lawful Neutral with him and try my best to provide cover fire for the group. Eventually gonna take it up a notch and does some twitch level of stuff, though I assume most demons will be immune to poison, I'll still use a few different tricks.

Ten-Minute Backstory

Concept:

- Jakkur is of the clan Blighted Paw, led by his two brothers with his mother, the Blight Druid former matriach, still providing wisdom.
- He is a kind soul, who likes to protect. I was considering taking the overprotective drawback as well, and may pick it up at a later date as he gets closer to a group that respects him and see's the real him.
- A realtively clean and less gnarled gnoll, he was able to keep from getting maimed and scarred mostly from being cautious of those around him and quick with his shield.
- Despite being the runt of his litter, he and his brothers large builds for gnolls, the other two actually being flinds and Jakkur thinking he too is a flind despite his family insulting that he was the only one born a nothing.
- He can still fight like one of his savage people, but at his core he is caring and hates bullies. He's a bit naive and hopes others can have good in them.

Goals:

- His first goal is to find a family. Not like his own but as he has seen in creatures of the wilds or in human settlements. He regrets the raids on the families he had seen and wonders if he is worthy of such.
- Should his first goal succeed, he hopes to shed off his self-perceived and ingrained weakness. He hopes to bring out the flind he knows is in him and be strong enough to protect his new kin once he has them.

Secrets:

- Jakkur worries of gentle voices in his head, those that call to him to return to the ways of his clan. They goad him to prove his strength and to return to his clan once he has done so to challenge his brothers.
- Jakkur may hide the fact he hears voices now and then, but even he doesn't know this whispers are in fact his mother, attempting to goad him back to be killed. She sees the chance for him to redeem himself or die trying, either works for her.

Connections:

- Hakan: 'Eldest' brother of the three, the vicious and largest brother is also an Antipaladin of the mother of monsters. He is the one who wished to take control and despite being a brute has a sharp mind, even by flind standards.
- Yarrig: The next brother of the three, has become a Warpriest of Flauros to spread the destruction of fire. Has always been controlled and forced to obey by his larger brother, Hakan using his superior might to convince him to rebel and direct his fiery destruction.
- Blightpaw: Former matriarch of the clan, has taken back seat to her two impressive sons. She hates Jakkur the most and would love to see him dead, but she is also not a fool. She whispers thoughts of growing stronger and returning into his head, hoping to either see him die or hopefully even succeed as he would be easier to manipulate than her other sons.

Finished with his overall crunch too I believe. To keep up with his backstory I gave him Hide and wooden armor and shield to sorta make more sense to scavenge. As I said too after I've been with the group and if I get selected, I might also pick up overprotective as a drawback too. Not to gain another benefit, but rather another weakness he'd likely develop. Guess we'll see ^^


Baja1000 here, finally submitting my character, the tanky fighter 2.0 using the new armor and weapon books. Or will once I get high enough level. xD super tank good guy gnoll. For your consideration.

He's not finished yet and I will be doing a 10 minute backstory for him later tonight as well, but wanted to get his story and basic crunch submitted first.
