I’d say... Wood’s ultimate fear is probably being alone. Despite his love of the road, one of the drawbacks to never settling down is that it’s hard to form lasting bonds with people. That’s another part of what he found appealing about bards; they SURROUND themselves with friends and strangers alike wherever they go. Kenku are reliable company where they can be found, but most tend to pick a place and settle there; in order to avoid having to brave the roadways and towns by himself, Wood developed a pretty agreeable personality early on, wanting to be liked so that people would want him around. Kenku don’t have terribly long lifespans compared to other races, so Wood wants to live his to the fullest... preferably alongside some good friends.

Aaand that should do it! This should be more or less done, feel free to give feedback. I'll probably swing in and adjust things eventually. Last edited by Mechaniacal; Jan 10th, 2020 at 01:16 AM. |

...I know that I'm not the GM, but I'm gonna chip in that I absolutely love the character. Part of it comes from a stance of the character I applied with-I think that they'd have a great dynamic, though I have NO idea if she'd enjoy the presence of Malori's endlessly optimistic, always happy, always wanting to make conversation with everyone around her self, but that's mostly up to Galvana.
And from an outside standpoint, I can tell you put a lot of work into the character. I don't have much critique, but that's because I think my app looks frankly outclassed next to this one. So...good job!

Oh I'm sure they'd get along just fine. XD She'd probably remind Galvana of Alera a lot. If you're up for it, we could tie the characters together somehow... Games always seem to flow better when the characters have ties that bind them together.

Hm...sure. You got anything in mind? They seem to both be fairly well traveled, so them being in the same place at any given time to meet each other certainly isn't a problem.

I'll think about it at work tomorrow and see what I can come up with.

Lookin' forward to it. I have plenty of room to expand Malori's backstory, after all, so it's not like I don't have space to throw in ties to other characters.

Hey everyone!
I also just wanted to announce my interest in the campaign I have a fun concept in mind and I'm currently working on it, before posting it here. This would be my first official application to a campaign, so I'd like it to be a good one and there is so many good ideas and concepts here already. I hope I can keep up ---- I'm finally done with my application, so here it is: Name: Yahben Hazelstone Age: 30 Race: Halfling (Stout) Class: Warlock (Archfey Patron) Subclass / Pact Boon: Pact of the Chain - Sprite Alignment: Lawful Neutral Background: Guild Artisan - Cook Personality Trait: I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing right. I can't help it – I'm a perfectionist Ideal: I work hard to be the best there is at my craft. Bond: One day I will return to my guild and prove that I am the greatest artisan of them all. Flaw: I'm never satisfied with what I have, I always want more. Appearance: Yahben is usually seen wearing simple garb of cloth and leather. He has brown hair and eyes and sports some surprisingly impressive mutton chops. He is very slim and just over 3 feet tall. He carries a backpack, as well as a satchel, which holds his books. Hanging from the backpack are some cooking utensils and strapped to the back appears to be a small stool, which Yahben will often use to be able to work at tables not designed for his height. Personality: Yahben is a very passionate halfling and clearly defines himself by his love for all things food. He can be very dismissive of ideas that hold no interest for him and can be a bit too hasty in speaking his mind. He doesn’t tolerate people that have no respect for his work and will do his best to make them see, for what in his mind is the light. Yahben is not a solitary person and he likes to surround himself with people to perform in front of. He craves the approval of others, so he tries to make friends that will tell him the truth. He is not humble by nature and carries himself with the air of an artisan that knows he is skilled and wants to be recognized for it. This arrogance blends well with his passion and when you hear him speak he has a way of drawing you in and painting a picture with his words. Yahben is grateful to his patron for the gift he has been given but also scared of the costs that still might come his way, because of the pact. Not that he would ever admit that to anyone, of course. Backstory: Why: The king’s decree was the perfect stepping stone for Yahben to experience new and exciting food and maybe even gain some companions along the way. Gaining people he could trust in would be valuable in the long run. But first and foremost it would finally give him access to the rich and wealthy. The people with influence and wealth that one day might make sure that everyone knew his skill and name. And gaining access to the neighboring country, that he knew nothing about? What recipes and ingredients he might find there! He must be allowed to join this venture! Nothing else was acceptable to Yahben. He was no fighter that much was obvious, but his unique skillset should prove very valuable in making sure the princes reached her destination safe, well-fed and, for example, not poisoned. Why OOC: This would be my first campaign outside of the NPSG and seeing all the creative and cool ideas here gave me the inspiration for Yahben. I tried to figure out how to make a cook turned warlock, but still wants to be cook, work and somehow landed where I am now. As this is the first real fully worked out character I have created here I’m not too sure if the concept will work, but I’d love to play and find out! I also wrote a small in-character scene: That's it! If you have any questions, feel free to ask --- Quote:
As you can see, Yahben would have serious problems favoring one over the other. In the end, he'd rather choose something warm and comforting though, having been influenced by the venison he was served by his patron over something cold. Prior to that, it would have been the other way around, as cold hors d'oeuvres to him sound more sophisticated. Ideally, he'd do both and use Prestidigitation to keep everything at the temperature it's supposed to be. His creations getting soggy or mushy one way or another would not do.

Complete, but I reserve the option to add more chapters later.

I think a nice simple background is often the best option because it gives your character so much more room to grow. If you wanted to hard commit to the miner angle you can swap out a homebrewed 1d8 Versatile(1d10) players choice of piercing or slashing damage.Pickaxe for any simple or martial weapon you might already have chosen.
What are Erk's hobbies? If he could have a companion animal (pet, beast of burden, etc.) what would it be? Quote:
How does Galvana let off steam? does she have any vices? What would it take to make her smile? Now the hard question. In d&d a paladin makes a prayer to a deity and that deity then provides the raw power that gives the paladin their abilities, otherwise Lay on Hands is just harassment in the workplace. Where does that power come from In Galvana's case? You don't need an immediate answer, just something to think about. Quote:

Geez, interest in this game really blew up. I’m ambivalent; I LOVE some of the characters I’m reading, but the competition is making my little kenku sweat, lol.
