I like the joint background idea as well
Still, that might have to wait until the GM actually picks a party, methinks.
Glad to see so many people interested in the shared background idea. I am excited to see what develops after the GM makes his selections. Even if I am not one of the lucky ones. :)
:)
Thanks.

Name: Losvarlinth
Race: Half-elf (darkborn)
Gender: (25) Female
Class: Fighter (Two Weapon Warrior)
Str 14, Dex 15, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 10
Step 1—Homeland, Family, and Childhood:
Homeland: (85) Forest - You gain access to the Log Roller regional trait.[/i]
Parents: (33) Only your father is alive.
Siblings: (42) No siblings.
Circumstance of Birth: (70) Noble Birth - You were born to privilege among the nobility. Unless one of your parents is the regent, your family serves a higher-ranked noble but lesser nobles serve your family in turn. You gain access to the Influence social trait and the Rich Parents social trait. Roll on the Nobility table: Nobility to determine your family's noble rank.
Nobility: (47) Gentry - You are the child of a minor lord, lady, or noble with an income, hereditary land such as a manor, and titles. You likely grew up in a manor and your parents were paid tribute by peasants. Your parents serve a higher baron, count, or duke.
Major Childhood Event: (42) First Kill - You've had blood on your hands since your youth, when you first took the life of another creature. Whether this act repulsed you or gave you pleasure, it was a formative experience. You gain access to the Killer combat trait and the Innocent Blood story feat.
Step 2—Adolescence and Training:
Background: (31) Gladiator - As an adolescent, you learned to fight and kill because your master made you, and if you had not learned, you would be dead. Killing was a way of life—a means of survival. At first you did it because you had to, but that soon changed when you heard the chorus of the crowd. You gain access to the Killer combat trait, the Life of Toil social trait, and the Champion story feat.
Influential Associates: (08) The Pariah - You met a disgraced exile, and found in his words and attitudes something that spoke to you. What once seemed true in your religion, society, or family began to appear false the more time you spent with this person, and you quickly learned not to trust everyone you meet—especially among those who would claim to be most deserving of it. You gain access to the Suspicious social trait.
Step 3—Moral Conflict, Relationships, and Vulnerabilities:
Conflicts: (10) Betrayal - You betrayed someone who trusted you. 4 CP
Conflict Subject: (18) Adventurer
Conflict Motivation: (9) Pleasure. 5 CP
Resolution: No Guilt (+2 CP)[i] - Either guilt is for the weak, or you know you made the right decision. You might not openly brag about your part in the conflict, but you don't deny it when confronted either.
Alignment:[i] Neutral Evil. 11 CP
Deity: Sarenrae
Romantic Relationships: (1) One Significant Relationship - You had a true love once, but that time has passed.
Relationship with Fellow Adventurers:
1st Fellow Adventurer – (13) Tavern buddies.
2nd Fellow Adventurer – (28) Contractor and employer.
3rd Fellow Adventurer – (20) Hunting companions.
4th Fellow Adventurer – (02) Family or close as family—close friends, close/distant relatives, relatives by marriage/adoption.
Character Drawback: (03) Attachment (Object) - You are attached to a precious possession with immense sentimental value and significance. Without it, you are no longer yourself and are prone to suffer from depression, moodiness, or aggressive behavior. You gain access to the Attached drawback.
Traits:
Campaign – Exposed to Awfulness
Combat – Killer
Social – Suspicious
Faith – Flame of the Dawnflower
Loyalties:
1. Sarenrae.
2. Protect children
3. Trustworthiness
Losvarlinth traveled to Kenabres with an Oracle of Sarenrae while converting to the new faith. Once they arrived in the city, the Oracle brought her to the temple of Sarenrae, presented her with a scimitar, and asked her to wait in the temple for three days before venturing out into the city.
Lmao...i was waiting for that....very sneaky....
Having found this thread after finding the IC recruitment thread, I can say I'm definitely interested. However, it also occurs to me that there's a lot of history here and players already integrating backstories with one another.
That being said is it alright if I create a character for this?
Popping in with Azura Celestine, aasimar bard (arcane healer). Note: This character is a mystery cultist of Arshea, and thus may explore certain mature themes. I've spoilered anything that could be an issue.
Azura is a very compassionate, generally happy and congenial person. She wants to spread kindness, love, etc. While some people would see this as a "dreamy idealist," she understands the practical limits of this approach - she doesn't think that you should offer a flower to an aboleth, for instance. She does believe that nonviolence is a preferable approach to mediating conflicts between intelligent creatures.
Azura's mother was a priestess and her father a half-celestial divine herald, so she has long been steeped in divine traditions and religious reverence for joy. Her own talents bend arcane, so she spreads music and wellbeing with her powers.
Her goal in dealing with the new Crusade is to help the crusaders to survive the inevitable injuries that they will sustain, and to remind people that dealing with the Worldwound is probably going to involve more than just slashing up a bunch of demons.
Her Loyalties are:
Compassion: Azura believes in showing compassion to living, suffering beings. She treats everyone she meets like a potential friend. She believes that friendship and love are not selfish, they are opportunities to show how much you will give to others. She tries to resolve conflicts diplomatically first, with weapons last.
Care for the Wounded: In spite of being an arcanist, Azura focuses much of her skill on healing. She sees the battle against the Worldwound as a much larger scale conflict in the same vein as a physician trying to heal an injury in a patient. To that end she focuses on healing hurts both physical and mental, great and small, because healing individuals inevitably leads to healing groups, nations...
Art and Music: Azura feels that art and music are important ways to communicate emotionally, to show one's personal preferences and views, and to celebrate the diversity of life. She feels that existence without art and music is sterile and stunted, and she encourages the growth of art and music among individuals and cultures alike.
I'd love to be part of this campaign. I'm thinking a vanilla halfling bard. I've never played a bard before other than a 1 night filler campaign a few weeks back. Fun fun fun.
Do you know when the choices will be made?
Official submission, since I haven't formally done it on the interest thread yet.
Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out of this recruitment. I do wish everyone good luck and happy adventuring.
Thank you GM for the opportunity and I hope the adventure goes great for you! Thank you again!
