I've made an alias for Marcus and tweaked his build and background slightly.
Ishman was sitting, staring at his hammer, while outside his little outcropping the rain was washing away the road. It was a good hammer; he'd had it for years, now, and though worn and chipped in places it was still as solid as the day it was made. His gaze shifted to his hands, scarred and callused. Shame you can't say the same about these. Idly, he tracked a small stream of water as it carved a valley into the floor of his shelter. He could see where it would flow, where the harder stones would divert it right into his pack, and with his finger he carved a new channel for it to flow away through before sitting up. He was tarrying, he knew that, but this was the worst storm he'd seen in years. Besides, he wasn't as young as he'd used to be; his hands were proof of that.
Lightning flashed outside and Ishman screamed, as what felt like a red-hot coal lodged itself in the pit of his stomach. It slowly worked its agonizing way up through his core; by the time it reached his head Ishman's lungs were empty and all he could do was curl up on the floor.
Eventually, it stopped. Breathing, just breathing, Ishman opened his eyes. He spat blood - he must've bitten his tongue at some point - and spoke aloud. "Ye don't get it, do ya, you daft creature. I walk out into that storm, I'll more than likely die. Then neither of us get what we want." He waited, but there wasn't a response. "Hmph. Not feeling like talking today, then." With a deep sigh, he picked up his hammer from where he had dropped it and shouldered his pack. Taking a moment, just to appreciate the dryness, he stepped out into the storm.

Wow that template is pretty strong it's allowing the equivalent of a 47 point build at the cost of CR+1.
wow lots of templates being used. guess I am the odd one out? normal human and no template.
Need to share my background
Right, almost forgot - I can commit to posting once a day. I should note that I am a college student, so during exams my posting schedule is catch-as-catch-can.
I'm still around, by the way, I just don't have anything to say. I'll usually post at least one sizeable post a day, with the potential for a few smaller ones as well, depending on the day.
wow lots of templates being used. guess I am the odd one out? normal human and no template.
People are taking a rare opportunity. Not many games give that opportunity.
I guess that makes you my competition, though, as my character is a female human with no template too :P
Human Fighter/Cleric, no template as well.
Tharasiphs - Sacred Shield 4/ Fighter 3/ Holy Creature Human Paladin.
Here is my druid/unmonk, no templates, decent bloke, bit of a tragic end to his time in a circle.
He would be a good all-rounder, with a focus on frontline combat and control during fights, with some healing and survival skills outside to help compliment the other druid.
If anyone complains you didn't give enough time aside from the character in this profile here are 2 other options:
Marcos Salvatore, a Swashbuckler/Occultist/UnSummoner Azata-Assamar with Azata Eidolon
Horace Archibald Hyde, elf/ogrekin Magus/Slayer and all around bad mamojama
Even if you pick none of these let me just thank you for a fun set of creation rules to play with and wish everyone the best.
Good luck to everyone! :D
I just wanted to pop in to thank everyone for their entries and wish you all best of luck. Lots of lovely possibilities that Zelani would just adore to meet, well, if she wasn't currently being traumatized by a ghoulish murderer who seems to fancy her as part of his evil plan...
Oh well. Rejected twice now. Guess not meant to be.
Gratz, Rixa. Have fun!
