Gwyndolin Thorn
Human (Illuskan) Fighter, Lawful Neutral Physical Description: A tall, muscular woman with flowing blond hair, bronze skin, and grey-green eyes. Half-concealed behind the bangs of her hair is an unsightly brand, given to her as a child in a Luskan prison, to mark that she is the offspring of convicted criminals, born in the prison itself. Background: Soldier Personality Trait: Gwendolyn’s indomitable will, sometimes crossing over into obstinance, means she will never, ever back down. She will hold the line until death. Ideal: Responsibility. She is duty-bound to obey lawful authority. Bond: Lucas Stormm, her old commanding officer in the Waterdeep militia. Only his intervention kept Gwyndolyn from facing the death penalty when she was convicted, and receiving exile as a punishment instead. She considers this a debt she must repay. Flaw: Gwyndolyn is law-abiding to a fault, and has difficulty going against the established authorities even when they are clearly in the wrong. Quirks: Cannot sit still, becomes bored with “contemplation,” and drums her fingers impatiently when she’s ready to cease talking and start acting. Gets irritated with anyone who tries to shorten her name into something diminutive or affectionate, such as “Gwyn.” Background Narrative: The folk of the city of Waterdeep like to think themselves beyond petty prejudices such as judging a person based on their origin. Gwyndolin Thorn knows this to be a lie. Born in Luskan, in the deepest depths of the city’s prison to a mother serving a life sentence for her crimes in the employ of the local assassins’ guild, Gwyndolin fled the inevitable life of crime that would have been her lot, and made her way to Waterdeep in hope of a brighter future. She joined the militia and worked her way up the ranks, proving her capabilities quickly. Yet her past always marked her, not just psychologically but physically: a brand upon her forehead, received in her Luskan prison home when she was only a child, pronounces her a child of criminals and an outcast from civilized humanity. Gwyndolin’s rapid rise in the militia and the attention paid to her by superiors made her an enemy: Karthon Vallis, a nobleman and militia officer who resented serving alongside “Luskan scum.” No sooner had Gwyndolin been promoted to officer’s rank herself, than she was framed for treason, accused of involvement in a plot to overthrow the city’s leaders, and exiled from Waterdeep. Vallis was instrumental in this turn of affairs, providing false testimony in court and convincing that Gwyndolin’s unfavorable heritage presupposed her to criminal activities. Drifting into mercenary work, but unable to find any reputable jobs because of her criminal record, Gwendolyn drifted gradually toward the Frozen North in search of adventure, or at least occupation. Have you heard of Icewind Dale before?: Yes Have you ever played Icewind Dale the CPU game?: A bit. I've played as far as the start of Chapter Four, but I really don't remember much past Chapter Two.

Loving the amount of interest generated in less than an hour of posting! As soon as players update their character concepts in their respective posts, I'll be updating the "Call to the North" Table of Applications as quickly as possible.
Also, if anyone has any questions, feel free to post them in this thread or PM me directly, thanks. |

Sure, I'd be willing to stop around in the frozen wastes of Icewind Dale for awhile. Application incoming:
Theme Music ![]() Name: Lore Militan Race: Tiefling Class: Warlock [Seeker] (With plans to experiment with a wacky Warlock/Paladin/Sorc build) Alignment: CG Physical Description: Lore stands as an atypical Tiefling. Red skin, visible horns and... That's it, actually. No smell of brimstone or sulfur, no cloven feet, not even a tail whipping behind him. He wears typical traveler's clothes of browns and greens, a heavy cloak against the chill of Icewind Dale, and walks with a heavily gnarled, black staff. His build is lean and lightly muscled, like a red-furred cat. His eyes are an odd shade of violet, with his hair a medium-length brown. Background: Personality Trait: Cautious and highly observant Ideal: "Magic is a fantastic force, one that I WILL harness!" Bond: "I am here to fulfill a purpose. And I will see it through." Flaw: "Life and time are finite and I must preserve both of mine." Quirks: He keeps his horns trimmed and filed down, mixing the shavings into drink and food. Or chewing on entire cuts of his horns. A Secret: Have you heard of Icewind Dale before?: Yes Have you ever played Icewind Dale the PC game?: Briefly. A few hours at best. Background Narrative: Lore seated himself inside the Winter's Candle Tavern in a small village called Easthaven. It had been a cold, long journey to this place but the few people he spoke to before heading out told him it would be the best place to visit first to get the lay of the land and supply for the harsh landscape. He had to admit as he entered the structure and knocked the snow from his boots and cloak, the tavern was indeed very warm. And the Boar Bisque he ate was piping hot in temperature and spice, as well as having delicious melty boar meat among a few sparse vegetables. Helping warm him from his horns to his toes. There were a handful of people in here, their attitude turning the warmer they got from the tone of their voice and what they discussed. He had acquired a small table pushed off to the side away from the fireplace as he had correctly guessed that was prime placement and his appearance was already unsettling to most. He reached into his backpack and produced a thick envelope, drawing from it a well-worn letter and reading it for what had to have been the 26th time. Lore gingerly folded the letter up and slid it back into the envelope, placing it back inside his pack. He kept his hood up as he ate and drank, taking some extra time to produce a thick tome with a chain running under the spine and a heavy lock punched into the cover. He performed a few incantations to try and get a reaction from the book, knowing lockpicks, knives, and other such tools seemed to just break and dissolve inside the lock itself. A streak of arcane energy here, tracing a few runic symbols he knew, attempting to speak in the few languages he knew everything he had attempted in Common. However, an hour passed and he felt no closer to uncovering what made this book open. "Curses and damnation." He muttered to himself. He dejectedly stuffed the book back into his pack, finished his soup, and retired to his room for the evening. Feeling a few curious eyes on him as he ascended, no doubt seeing the pastel red skin of his hands as he went.

Name: Dovar Ironbeard
Race: Dwarf Class: Barbarian Alignment: CG Physical Description: Dovar is short even for a dwarf, and exceptionally stocky. His long unkempt hair and beard form a dark brown mane covering his head and face. His dark fierce eyes show his fighting spirit that burns within. Background: Outlander Personality Trait: I’m driven by a wanderlust that led me away from home. Ideal: Life is like the seasons, in constant change, and we must change with it. Bond: I am the last of my tribe, and it is up to me to ensure their names enter legend. Flaw: There’s no room for caution in a life lived to the fullest. Quirks: (I don't know which book these are in so I just made one up) A lifetime of regular blows to the head has left my memory a little worse for the wear. A Secret: Have you heard of Icewind Dale before?: I have I've read the Icewind Dale trilogy several times. Have you ever played Icewind Dale the CPU game?: I've heard of it but I've not had the opportunity to play it yet. Background Narrative: Last edited by aRePiiGee; Nov 21st, 2017 at 07:19 PM.

Just edited my interest post to include my application. Just out of curiosity, do we send you our character's Secret in a private message, or post it in our application behind a spoiler tag or something?

Couple class questions. Would you allow an Artificer Gunsmith? Would you allow a Mystic Soul Knife? These are both from UA, so I thought I would ask before getting underway on a concept. I am interested in both equally, so if you allow one and not the other, no big deal.
