one has taken touched by divinity with the deity being Shelyn
That's what I was afraid of... I was hoping to take touched by divinity too, but I would need it to be for Erastil... Oh well, the group probably doesn't need two hierophants anyways. I feel like just changing that trait and shoe-horning it into his current background would be sloppy and inconsistent, so I'm going to take some time and properly rework things... I will have an application in on time, though it will be closer to the deadline than I'd prefer (and i might end up switching gods... He will still be a healing/skills guy who can contribute in combat though- it looks like maybe you could use a champion, possibly dual path with trickster...)
yeah I took touch of divinity as well assuming no one took it. I guess the shaman did. I am more then happy to switch to Stolen Fury and go crusader. I will probably dual path not sure with what. I will be taking selective channel and then mythic selective channel to aid in healing. Down the line I would hope to pick up a phylactery of positive channeling and take the aligment channel feat so I coule wreck big groups of demons surrounding us. :)
Lol- so we'll both switch from touched by divinity to stolen fury? I guess that is better since if we both got picked we could pretty easily connect our backgrounds...
This is how you will feel when you are in a party with Viktor!
I'd like to offer Brother Aglamore. He was in a WotR game that petered out about where yours seems to be right now.
Hey there ! I would like to throw my hat in the ring with a gnome by the name of Svett Koon. Not finished with the character yet though.
Yay! :)
This is Nate Lange posting. Micah is not at all finished but I'm posting him now you can see where i'm headed with him ahead of the actual deadline.
@Tyrnvald Olafson: Alright everything is looking good.
@Viktor Rusnak: lol, I assume overprotective is a word that isn't in Victor's dictionary?
@Aglamore: Nice to see you joining. Just remember that if you are picked to move up to a 25 point buy and to level 4.
@Svett Koon: Can't wait to see Koon when you're done.
@Mich Haynes: Don't worry you still have 4 days, so don't feel in too big a rush.
Overprotective Completely Reasonable Amount of Protective If one of your allies takes any hit point damage whatsoever, you may take a turn immediately to wrap them from head to toe in bubble wrap.
Isn't that an Oradin that does that.
Sacred Shield Pally/Oracle of Life, you take 5 less points of damage per hit and then attacks from the specific target BBEG, if your close to the Pally you take half damage as well.
Here it is!
As far as character advancement goes...
I am planning on dual pathing this character between Guardian and Hierophant. He will continue his normal levels along the Oracle Of Life path.
Svett talks quite swiftly, "Just is, I guess. I would rather not tell you how. I don't understand it much myself. The first demon we encountered snatched me and left wounds that I would rather not relive. You remember well, Marlo. Every since then, I have felt a strange feeling in my heart. A desire to give everyone a chance to be themselves. My heart even beats at a different rate, often irregular. Something has intruded into my body. I do not understand why I am mostly blind either. I have grown to accept what has happened to me."
"Good, Lad, I have decided we should return to Kenabres."
Svett responds with obvious rejection, What for? There is more chance for redemption here."
"Indeed. But, With the abundance of demons, I would rather not lose more lives. A good restock of supplies and men will do a good service. Svett, collect some water for us tonight. But before that lets join in prayer.
Everyone chants, "Praise Sarenrae's compassion, let her fire guide us through the realms of evil, follow her steps with promise of redemption and charity."
After the prayer Svett moves away from camp to collect water for his fellow men, despite his insistence of wanting to stay on their initial task.
But then.. it happened without warning, screams abound...
Svett hurries along as fast as his small legs can carry him.
The ground was wiped clean and they were gone, but the campfire burned on still.
Svett, now alone, must find fellow companions soon or die.

The character list so far:
Zoren-Male Tiefling-Ranger (Trapper)/Rouge (Knife Master, Scout)
Miko-Female Kitsune-Bard (Lotus Geisha)
Derrik Grunsweld-Male Human-Alchemist (Grenadier)

Micah Haynes-Male Assimar-Inquisitor (Sacred Huntsmaster)

Completely Reasonable Amount of Protective If one of your allies takes any hit point damage whatsoever, you may take a turn immediately to wrap them from head to toe in bubble wrap.
Quite reasonable indeed! Paladins be righteously awesome. :)
I look forward to hearing your decision :)
I agree!
Miko was a part of a group of entertainers. They loved to make people laugh, cry, dance, they loved to make people feel the whole spectrum of emotion.
With their arcane and natural abilities, they did just that. Some scenes or plays one of the family played all the rolls. Miko as she was known, was very gifted in the art of changing her appearance. She could do it faster than most of her family, and she enjoyed it very much. She made friends quickly, soothed over a savage crowd, even made people believe her characters were real
Tricks and games were part of everyday life. She and her family never revealed their true identity. It would just cause confusion and maybe even make their acts less awe inspiring.
@Svett Koon: Everything looks good, and thanks for the list.
@Micah Haynes: Looking over everything seems to be good. Nice backstory as well.
@Seth86: Okay, background is up, but it still needs to tie in your trait.
Okay. What i think...
Their show was attacked, in the confusion she was seperated from her family and friends, running for her life. In all the confusion and her that just kept running she ended up behind the lines. No clue where she was she wandered around for a few days till the woman helped and saved her, getting her back on track and she finally is reunited with her family :)
Good luck everyone as tomorrow is the deadline I believe.
btw here is the secondhalf of Zoren's background bringing him up to the Heart...
A lot had happened over the last few days since Zoren arrived in Kenebras holding the hand of the child that he and the strange woman rescued. As irony would have it the little girl’s name was Faith and she was only 8 years old. Quite fitting indeed considering Zoren’s crossroads in his life at this time. In some ways faith was all he had to go on while Faith had nothing but Zoren. How long this could last though Zoren didn’t know. He was not cut out to raise a child at the best of times as his upbringing was nothing but pain and suffering. Yet try as he might he could not find anyone to take her nor did it seem that she wanted to be anywhere but by his side. Without consciously thinking about it Zoren began to teach Faith little things here and there about surviving and making the most out of a situation. Simple things like how to start a fire or how to stay warm if you couldn’t find shelter. Even though they were in the city Zoren did not feel comfortable yet in staying at the inns: too crowded and loud and it was easier to teach outside in the streets.
Zoren wondered why there were so many people around when he passed a town crier hollering about the festivities that would be included on the morrow. Food, festivities, and fights were available as entertainment to be seen. Not having anything else to do and at Faith’s persistence Zoren agreed to attend but to stay near the back. Faith’s eyes lit up as she gave Zoren a hug and grabbed his hand once again. Zoren was growing accustomed to the hand always there and part of him wondered again where this would lead. He wondered too at the way she never flinched when she felt the scales of his skin.
The next day dawned bright and clear as Zoren and Faith made their way to the grounds. Spending a little from his stores Zoren spoiled the girl with some sweet meats and a small stuffed silver dragon toy. They had just sat down to enjoy some people exhibit skill at archery when the world crashed in around them, a dragon and a demon fought in midair, the ground started to give way in the middle of the parade grounds, buildings toppled over, and the sky darkened. Not for the first time since that fateful night Zoren acted on behalf of another and not himself. Yet this time it was not the struggle it normally was. Instead it was impulsive and reactive. Zoren scooped up Faith and carried her away from the carnage. It was apparent that the demons were attacking as a horde of them and some cultists breached through a building 50ft to his right. Using his time spent amongst them Zoren was able to blend. Keeping his cloak around Faith he was able to shield her not only from the sights of the depravations of the demons but also from being seen and targeted. When the chance came Zoren turned down a side street and left the cultists and demons to continue onward.
Minutes dragged on to hours as it was everything Zoren could do to avoid roaming patrols of demons or cultists. Worse were the groups of tieflings that he saw joining in on the slaughter. He felt a pull from his blood and heritage every time he witnessed these acts to join in the carnage. Yet everytie he felt the small hands of Faith holding onto him. The hours dragged on into days as they were able to get very little sleep, always on the alert for danger. Finally after 3 days of this the first sign of relief was seen. A patrol of crusaders was seen marching down a street. Following them from a distance should they be ambushed they lead Zoren to the Heart. Once there, Zoren finally let down his guard and entered in. The future was still murky and dangerous and he was surrounded by crusaders being attacked by people he may have interacted with a great deal ‘before’. Yet Faith was safe for now, or at least as safe as possible. How was it that a strange woman and a child could bring about such a quick change in perspective on life?
Good Luck Everyone!
Good Luck All
Recruitment is now closed.
I shall be going over everyone's character submissions now. Obviously there was a lot of character submissions and I won't be able to pick everyone, so let me just say thank you to everyone who expressed interest and created a character for me to go over.
Thanks GM. Best of luck everybody!
thank you for taking the time to consider all these applications... that was a lot of interest for only 2 slots! (if anyone wanted to start a WotR game they could probably put together a whole group just from applications here that don't get one of those 2 spots)
i know you're very busy reading through things but if you have a spare moment to let us know when you plan to reveal your selection those of us who will otherwise be obsessively monitoring this thread would be most grateful!
I will be reading through and waiting to get some feedback from my players, so I expect to be done and ready to reveal my selections tomorrow around 1-2 p.m CTS.
Thanks (again)
Now you all have been waiting patiently (or maybe not so patiently) for the results. After going over every character I have made my decision. I'm sad to say that I can't take everyone, but unfortunately some of you won't get picked. Here in no particular order are the two people I have chosen.
Victor Rusnak Alias of CampinCarl9127
Micah Haynes Alias of nate lange
I would just like to thank everyone who applied once again as it was hard to make this decision, and I hope you all find a game for your characters.
Victor and Micah please follow the link below to the discussion tab.
Wow didn't expect an inquisitor for the skill slot. Good luck Victor and Micah.
Congrats!
