I hope to have a decision made by the end of the week, but it will likely be sooner. I hope to start things up by next week Tuesday.
Here is Trsitian's new backstory and I changed my campaign trait from Ilizmagorti Native to Touched By The Sea.
Tristian was born and raised in Restov, a city in Brevoy’s province of Rostland. But he spent much of his time in New Stetven with his grandfather. His grandfather would take him sailing on Lake Reykal all the time. Tristian loved this part of his life. Somehow, while sailing, he felt truly alive. When he was 12, they got caught in a sudden storm on the lake. His grandfather was worried (being an experienced sailor, he actually understood the danger), but young Tristian was enthralled. He stood at the bowsprit of the small sailboat and laughed as the waves crashed over him and the wind whipped lake tried to smash the boat. His grandfather tried to instill more caution in Tristian, but the call of the sea was too strong now.
At 17, he left Brevoy and travelled to Varisia. Arriving in Magnimar, he immediately gained employ on one of the many ships sailing from that busy port. Fortune would have it that the ship he sailed on was bound for the Shackles which suited Tristian just fine as he was dead set on a life of adventure on the seas.
Patrick this is Free Radical, here is my submission.
PERSONALITY AND APPEARANCE
Now reaching the age of twenty eight, Karga is a fully grown Orcish woman, bearing the mixed blood of both Human and her home race. For being essentially a doctor, her brutish and often angry demeanor has led to complaints of little to no bedside manners, even from the hardiest of salts in the Shackles. This is added to her orcish appearance, that while considered by some to be a beauty, outside her own race has left much to be desired, littered with knicks and scars that cover over thirty percent of her body.
Tattoos as well have stayed primarily over her body, creating an intricate pattern when combined with multiple scars over her body. This is all easily visible, as Kargas's attire is a mix of tribal gruffness and sailor refinement and roughness, her long curly hair tied back into a knot when she works.
BACKGROUND
A product of Orcish and colonial settler border conflicts in the outreaches of Sargava, Karga Blackhook was born to an enslaved woman of an undisclosed name. Enslaved her self since birth, she would be put to work once able performing minor manual labor until found by the tribe Shaman, an Orcish woman that saw the taint of magical blood in her, considering it a sign of their gods of a great gift to the tribe. The shaman would adopt her, bringing her into the regular Orcish tribe hierarchy as part of its small spiritual cast.
Covered in tattoos symbolizing patron demigods and deities, especially that of the Orcish goddess Dretha, Karga was thought of the tribe to soon be made a wife of the tribal chieftain and made a sacred part of the spiritual needs of the tribe. However, when found to be barren and unable to produce a child, the later was made in effort to continue her use. These spiritual aspects that she took part in were of the darker magical and ritualistic acts one could perform in Orcish local society, ritualistic sacrifices and pleas to dark gods that even other tribes would not ask of. All of this taught by her adoptive mother and caregiver, teaching and enforcing the spiritualistic customs of the tribe, while also providing her education on minor medicine and practices. She also taught her a somewhat advanced degree of other educational skills far beyond the expected of the area, using books captured that taught her several languages.
Eventually other tribes, fearful and angered by sacrifices of their own kind and attacks on their own territory grew too much for them to bare, resulting on an alliance of tribes that would attack Karga’s own. The tribe was decimated, forcing Karga to flee with her master and adoptive mother through the jungle. Only Karga would make it to the only place that was safe, colonial territory, littered with wounds along her body that she almost succumbed to. The young young half Orc of roughly twenty three years had made it to the damp and decaying streets of the capital, with barely enough to scrape by to live. Through use of her own understanding of the common tongue, Karga would find work at the many bars and taverns, attempting everything in her power to throw away the old vestiges of her former life in place of the accented common that she knew, adapting to local buccaneer lifestyle.
At the age of twenty four, lured into ship life by the advertisement ship doctors, Karga would leave the dead end bar to begin life on a ship, starting again as an apprentice and later an assistant to to the hard living and dangerous practice for the past four years.
Here's a link to my character: Jacques Lacrimoisi. Note that while he is currently a swashbuckler, he is really intended to be a Siege Mage wizard. :)
Apologies, but the unrogue just isn't inspiring me.
I will be drawing up an 1/2 orc storm Druid.
I plan to write him up tomorrow after work.

This will be Dorian Grey's submission.
Thank you for the latitude!
Poor Arkhan! He is my forever-ever suffering character...lol.

Alright, any and all character changes are now locked. I will reveal the roster and have the thread up this Monday at about noon MST.
Hey Patrick, I am politely bowing out of consideration for this game. Thank you for considering me!
Cheers!
Eli
Noon MST time approaches! :D
EST
Patrick said MST ;)
I'm a bit late going to bed today. Oh dear, going to be antsy. Wait... if I stay up a bit longer...
First of all, I'm dusting off my new DM cap for these kind of purposes. I'll be using this profile as my DM threads (if I get the chance to host future threads... which isn't likely right now but here's hoping).
Now... it was a lot harder to pick a crew than I thought, but I finally got it done. Will the following people please step forward?
Pad300, playing Djir Brentwhisker
Delmoth, playing Mama Mambo
Delightful, playing Black Bess
hustonj, playing Ioney Dragi
Ouachitonian, playing Cnut Bjornsson
Cwethan, playing Chisomo
I want you to report to the recruitment page I created under my DM name. I know that not all of you have created profiles, so I will give you some time to complete that before we can get started.
As for the rest of you, I'm very sorry things didn't work out. I thought about a second table, but decided that I probably need to keep my work load into something I can manage. But if these characters can have a second chance, maybe you will too.
Congrats to those selected - hope you have a great game.
Thanks for inviting me to the recruitment, good luck then.
Thank you for the invitation, Patrick, but I think I will decline.
Interesting day at work has left me considering how many games I should be attempting to juggle.
Understandable. I have a substitute in that case.
Edeldhur playing Reknar. Can you please bring yourself to the discussion page?
Does anyone here have any way to contact @Delightful outside the site?

Sorry for late response but I'm going to have bail out of the game. My apologizes.
Alright then. Shame that you couldn't join in.
Dorian Grey you are the last person chosen for the game.
