Awww... Well, time to go on. Thanks for the opportunity. Congrats to the others!


A possible anti-hero nation that would not be very nice. Sounds kinda cool, but would require chaotic and evil characters to pursue.


:O
So much info, and yet readable! I will definitely be taking tips from it!


Will we still be waiting till the 11th with so many submissions?


Thanks. Didn't want to get left out of this! :)


Yeah, meant UC, not UM. Don't see Will on that spreadsheet, though.


Will we use the AP rules to build the kingdom, or Ultimate Magic?


Definitely seconding the tabard idea!


I've fleshed Will out a little more on his personality and appearance on the profile.


Kingmaker is my top wanted module to play! Plus, I've been itching to try out a character idea that's been building. It's an Aldori sword duelist that uses song to lead in battle. Here's my entry:

William D. Dross

Background

Spoiler:
William D. Dross, or just Will as he prefers to be called, grew up on the streets of Restov. Orphaned at only six years of age, Will had to survive on his own, even lowering himself to thievery to get by. Though he was not the only orphan of Restov by far, he was often picked on by the others for his daydreaming of greatness. Learning to live with it, Will began to seek out legends, epics, and ballads about heroes. He helped more than one tavern bard to sing of glorious battles of the past.

His true sights were on the Aldori, though. Memorizing each song that was sung of Baron Sirian Aldori and the city’s heroic and legendary swordlords, Will often watched them in practice and duels, desiring to be one of them. His past soon began to haunt him as he realized that no low-born, unknown, orphan child would be able to enter their ranks. So instead, Will set a new goal to go out and begin a legend comparable of that of even Baron Aldori himself.

Upon saving up the needed gold to start, Will heard of the petition for men to set out to start new kingdoms in the Stolen Lands. Seeing it as his opportunity to rise to greatness and create his own legendary epic, Will eagerly sought after the chance, leading him down a course greater than any he had imagined.
