Simeon Iskandar's page

I looked at some of the submissions and thought Oh, we're all crew. And then thought I'd check. So submissions so far...

Wait, this is great and makes things much easier, especially for those going on to make backstory when the game starts. Funny how both of the Varisian passengers are musically inclined support based charisma casters. I somehow overlooked your trait Chairo and thought I was the only Varisian passenger here.

But man, only two Humans, that it crazy.

@Ollurim Skull-Render
I am glad you upped it, as I was very concerned for some kind of charisma damage that would wipe up out easily.

@Ace of Hearts
Should/can we make backstories relating to the sample NPCs that are given in the player's handbook? Think a couple of them strike my fancy.

Unfamiliar with PbP Recruitment, if I should shut up, tell me

I am loving the race diversity of possible players so far. We are going to be the most tolerant group of people when in comes to race.

@Travis:
Missed you when I did a quick sweep. As an older, wiser man of possibly "tainted" blood, Simeon would definitely look up to you. Provide law for my chaos, maybe seen as a fatherly figure to the young man. While he might resent some of of your strictness to law or order, he would respect Travis.

@Ollurim
Dang that is some low charisma, Simeon is more than happy to talk for two, especially for those whose blood makes them looked down upon. I was thinking of taking up potion brewing too, so that could be an in for us. Realistically speaking, I could see Simeon trying to use your muscle to back up his at times bold language, maybe even speaking for you (and not always rightfully so) in your silence. Could be nice to see what happens when Ollurim says no, get them to talk while maybe pulling Simeon back down to earth.

Exotic blood seems to be a good running theme with many of the characters, one I am more than happy to get behind. Unifying in a way.

@Lothor
Dead parent club? Perhaps a bonding over drinks on the ship? Simeon enjoys all types of song, and surely a sea shanty would strike up a bit of interest in him.

@Alesha
Both of exotic blood, perhaps that strikes up conversation. A woman of fire on the sea could easily attract Simeon's attention, and a persistent Simeon would try to start some sort of friendly relationship.

@Selvie
A fellow outcast. I am sure many regard a tiefling's blood to be just as poisonous as a Vishkanyan's. A stowaway needs to get food and drink somehow, and in exchange for stories and rumors, Simeon would oblige. I would probably share my secrets with you, possibly thinking your possible relations to efreeti could grant my wish for humanity.

Just spitballing possible relations, I love making and adding backstory. Also a bump of sorts for everyone to see. I want this campaign to be beautiful. Followed on RSS so I can update relations promptly.

The boat rocks gently, moonlight shines on the large ship, outlining it a pale blue. Most of the crew sleeps in the decks below, but the midnight crew tends the sails. “The blood in these veins, though.” Simeon starts, looking at his hands. “They are conflictin’. Tearing at each other, ya know?” The sailor takes a swig, nodding, but not paying any real attention. Simeon raises a hand, reaching it outright to the stars. “Like, have you felt something in you before, like an expression screaming to get out? My blood, man, it screams to me.” He raises his other arm, his hands cup over the distant moon. He brings his hands back to his stomach. “Screaming. It just, like, needs to leave this body. Ya know?” Again the sailor nods.

Simeon takes a drink of his own, beating his foot down. He continues this beat in tempo. “Alright, bear with me, I’mma try something new out. Stomp for me. The sailor obliges, matching Simeon’s pace. A couple of men tending the sails watch. “Right, right. Work in progress, no judges.” He breathes deeply, his head swirling figure-eights to the stomps.

“So I’mma, Slam Sorcera’, an enforcerah,
a man of spells from across another border- A-
explorah of the high seas, a pirate without quarter, a-
blasta from afar, a mortar whose supportin’ ya

“Yaaaa~!
Battle ain’t quite done yet.
Yaaaa~!
Ma’ voice is a stunnin’ threat.
Covered in scales, surrounded by say-lahs,
wanna bring me ta jail?
ya, better bring out the jay-lahs~!

A couple of claps from the ship, the midnight cruise seems entertained. The assistant captain gives a yell, a silence to the noisemakers. Simeon quites down, but a quake fills his voice’s absence. The ship roars, screaming at the sea as is tears opens. It ruptures, cracking at its bow, splitting into pieces. The vessel splinters, Simeon holding on the side of his ship for his life.

Take a look at Simeon's character for more info. Still doing some more info on him. Vishkanyan sorcerer who wishes to become human by any means necessary. Half human, with a Vishkanyan father, mother dies from Simeon's birth.

Dies his skin blue to hide his scales, tries to be the center of attention. Send me a PM if you want to collab. It is a long trip and Simeon talks a lot, surely there is some interaction we had. Worst case scenario, I don't make the game, you get character development, and my dead, shipwrecked body might fuel your character.
