Please don't move this thread to the Homebrew section, because I already have a thread there and this world should be more off-topic like. Thanks. :)

This is a world that will be based on your avatars, including mine. Based on the name and art of the avatar, I will create a brief description of your character and make a place in the Home Brewed World for him or her. Also, you may create your own brief description too. Be warned, however, that I may change it around to fit into this world's concept. I don't know what the concept is yet.

This is all being done in anticipation of the new edition of the Pathfinder RPG coming soon. I will order a copy, and I am certain it will become the greatest edition of any rpg ever made. I am looking forward to it!

For my avatar, Farael the Fallen, I am going to go by the obvious: he's over 7 feet tall, muscular, has pointy ears, and he's blue. Farael has the el at the end of his name, so I will make him an Angel. He was cast out of the Heavens for refusing to fight in an angelic war up there, which is why he is a fallen angel. He's not a bad guy, but he's also no longer part of the Heavenly angels so he's in-between. He is stuck on this world in-between the Heavens and the Hells, so he wanders the lands trying to survive and help people. That's his story.

Okay please begin. By the way, if there are no contributions I may look at other avatars and sort of improvise...lol

Is this a PbP? If so, I'm not really into that scene. But if it's just to be creative with the avatars then by all means have at mine!

No its not a PbP; this will actually be a fun activity.

DungeonmasterCal...How about we change it to Dungeon Master Callus. You are cruel. Really cruel. You are one of the most cruel and callus DM's who were driven underground after the Desolate War. There they have their own domains where they enslave and torment people by forcing them to go into dungeons filled with dangerous creatures and traps. If they manage to survive, they are just put into another even more dangerous dungeon. How can you do so callus? That's good!

You are being a killjoy, Captain! However, you replied so I will write a brief description for you:

You have to be Goblin Pirate. You are short, but vicious. Your small, monkey companion is always with you and you share a telepathic bond with him. You feel entitled to be a pirate, because you feel that the Goblin race has been discriminated against for thousands of years. Your authority on your ship is unquestioned, but its because you are a great captain, your crew respects you and you share the wealth evenly. Of special note, your actual name is Captain Kill Joy; most people just put your first and last names together and you never correct them.

I will be an elf shaped object wearing a mask which is never taken off, as to do so would be to reveal my Awful Secret, namely that I am actually a sentient citrus fruit.


Mine seems fairly obvious.

This could be interesting.

Thanks for the contributions! Right now I am in the theater waiting for Infinity War to begin. Tomorrow I will write up descriptions and they will be somewhat awesome. Let the witty banter begin...

Maybe not... I will either go for something completely different or it will be very obvious, but not fairly obvious.

Feros! You look and sound like a powerful demonlord or something close to that. I will ponder this as I watch Infinity War.

Limey Long Ears, you will be exactly what you have described, but in a completely different way.

Is that existential? It feels existential to me.

Well I am a pacifist so I'm not sure how much cruelty is necessary (I mean, maybe a little).

You can always stop granting him spells if he goes too far.

Limey Long Ears, I did ponder it last night after Infinity War, so I see you as a unique character with the name: Limey Long Ears. You appear as a short humanoid with pointy, long ears so you definitively has an Elven/Fairy aspect to you, but you are not. I see you as a magical mix of a Halfling, Elf/Fairy who wears a mask! Why he wears a mask is a mystery or Awful Secret, but let's keep it that way for now. Is he a sentient, citrus type fruit? Is he?

That sounds wrong...


No Selene, that sounds just about right!

Vankrye, yes it's obvious you are a dragon and it looks like you are a big red one. But you are also a very angry dwarf with reddish hair and a really bad anger management issue. Cursed by a good god with a grudge, you were turned into a dwarf, but you can turn back into your normal form as a dragon when you get really angry; so yes you Hulk Out! So you are forced to wander the world doing good deeds until you earn the right to become a dragon again all the time. You must have been a bad dragon before this happened. I wonder what happened, but this is a question that will lead to more answers...

Feros, you are a cruel tyrant who has created your own empire and your goal is to take over the world and become a dark god! You were once an ogre with a dream of greatness, so you set out on a quest away from your barbaric tribe to better yourself. You taught yourself to read! You drank demon's blood for power! You learned to fight not just with brute force but with tactics! You learned to channel dark, divine energy and magic for a lethal and (almost) unbeatable combination!

The name of Feros is feared throughout the lands, and he believes no one can stop him from his ultimate goal of world domination...and he's right. Kind of hopeless...but just wait until the sequel!!!

Selune, are a half-vampire with undead powers, but you can go out into the daylight. You used to delight in killing the innocent and drinking their blood for pure pleasure. You sought out power from the undead god and you were happy doing that. Your name was spoken in fear and you liked that.

HOWEVER, something strange happened to you tried to drink the blood of a blind beggar late one night in a very big, overcrowded city. He was not a beggar out all, but a good god who wanted to teach you a lesson. With just a touch of his right hand on your forehead you were instantly changed forever, and you ran away screaming.

What that blind, beggar god did was change your mind. You now find it impossible to drink the blood of the innocent and hurt good people. You find yourself compelled to actually help people, and if you don't you feel intense pain. You still have your cravings for blood, so you are forced to get your daily nourishment from rats or whatever other creatures you can find.

Also, its okay for you to drink the blood of bad people, so now you especially enjoy seeking them out. You are a bad person forced to do good things. Enjoy...

Dracoknight you are a...Dracoknight. Not the only one, but part of an order of Dracoknights that keep the peace across the lands. Sadly, not all Dracoknights are good people and whether or not you are a good person is up to you.

HOWEVER, you are a good person. Based on your picture you are Dracoknight who rides a white dragon in a far north land. You serve a Jarl who seems like a just ruler, but obviously he isn't. I will give you the Nordic, north-sounding name of Brynhila Ragnild and you are a fierce warrior. Hope it helps...

You are a dark god of fear. When you appear on the world it is dressed like a clown/jester, and it seems like you want to make people laugh...but that's not what happens. Your jokes are not funny and you come off as very creepy. Children cry when they see you. Your name is whispered in fear in dark corners of the world, and you have many names. Some call you The Jester, and they laugh but secretly cry. Your history predates mankind, but the name Nehebaku is probably your true name. Knock knock indeed...

Captain Yester Day was once a famed officer in the king's army, and he was very good at his job. His king ordered him to led his army to extend the kingdom into a marshland on the southern border. He was to fight off the reptilian humanoids who lived there and drive them away.

Captain Day was ruthless in battle, and his army burned the marshlands to the ground and slaughtered any of the reptilians who tried to fight for their land. They had no hope against his army, so they fled. Day was happy with his victory, so as the day turned to night he went into his tent at the army camp and slept.

Little did he know that a reptilian shaman decided to gain revenge against Day by turning him into one of their own. When he woke up in his tent the next morning he saw in his looking glass that his body was now Reptilian, so naturally he began to scream.

It alerted his army officers who immediately entered the tent to see him, but they thought he was one of the Reptilians! They did not listen to his pleas, so Day had to run away for his life.

Now he wanders the lands looking for a way to turn back to human, and he survives anyway he can. Like other characters...

Com Rade has become quite mad I am afraid. He was once a well known scholar and magician who wanted to pierce through the thin shell of reality that keeps his world from the chaotic realms on the Other Side. One night Com Rade succeeded and once he saw that chaotic realm his mind quite literally snapped.

Now Com Rade had a new mission in life and its to open a gateway from that chaotic realm into our world. He wants to share his new knowledge of reality with everyone so they can see what he saw. If it destroys the world and all of reality around it that's beside the point. He just wants everyone to feel that one moment of pure chaos before everything is destroyed. Life truly is a joke...

Dr. Arm Chair is well known among academics for his work in a the new field he invented studying the mind; he has named it Mindology. He is especially interested in studying how the minds of the various races are different from each other. He travels across the lands looking for new minds to study and spread his new field of study.

He is well known, but its more like being infamous. He is highly ridiculed by other scholars who say his work and book (MINDOLOGY by Dr. Arm Chair) are not to be taken seriously. They also question his title of DOCTOR and where exactly he received this title; truthfully he just gave himself that title.

You are also in this world, but your character really is very set forward based on your profile. You are this world's version of the Punisher. You are The Slayer. You are on an endless quest to slay all evil in the most violent ways possible. Being sent to the "Gallows" is a saying based on your name. You are the judge, jury and executioner of evil. And you may want to actually eat Limey Long Ear's mask, because he may be evil. After all, why is he wearing a mask? What Awful Secret is he hiding? What does he really look like?

Not to rain on your biography parade but as a pacifist and environmentalist you pretty much described the opposite of who I am. :-)

Changing the picture and profile does change the concept of all this, but that's an easy fix Captain Yester Day. I am going to change it now. I am seeing you now as a time traveling Captain of a sailing ship that travels through the various timelines of this world. You do this to protect the world...and you are a pacifist too. I will now make this change in my notebook...
