Unfortunely I do not. I am friends on Facebook with the guy behind The Knotty-Works and came to him with an idea and he made it into a reality. I just made some suggestions here and there. I was really wanting a Gun Mage class for pathfinder. He also did the Sellsword class for me that is a fighter/ranger hybrid.

Name: Reivar

Alignment: NG

Age: 27 years

Race/Class: Div-spawn Tiefling Eldritch Desperado

Background: Reivar was orphaned at 16, her father having been pulled into the war that was raging between the Crown and Desert Kingdoms. While he was gone, and shortly before his death, her mother had died of an illness due to the lack of money for medical care with his absence. Not wanting to be defined by her heritage and upbringing, Reivar left the streets of Sanctuary behind and worked hard to be perceived as a human. She joined up with the police academy by making herself known around the Academy District as soon as she could, trying to work small jobs and earn enough to live nearby honestly without having to resort to theft or joining into the small bands that were popping up here and there to do mischief for profit, and studied hard despite not being incredibly smart, working her way up to inspector quickly through ambition and hard earned skills. She finds Terra to be the best of all things good, and doesn't think that any rumor of evil doing is true, and does her best to keep the city in her favor. Reivar struggles to contain her desires for chaos by keeping the city free from it.

Personality: Driven by instinct and a desire to be good, Reivar tends to be stubborn and pig headed, especially when faced with a criminal.



Appearance: Standing at 5'5", Reivar has to work hard to be seen and taken seriously. She has auburn hair and small Tiefling horns that she tries to keep hidden with a wild hair style. Normally her hair is cut to her chin, but she has recently let it grow due to being busier as a full fledged inspector. She has a full figure with a lean body hardened by her work and pretty face, and her complexion isn't quite the normal shade for humans but close enough to a tan that it usually gets overlooked.

Virtue: Temperance

Vice: Wrath

You know you can use the insert image button lol. That might be easier that way you can put it in your appearance section. There is also a thread on here that allows you to mess around with the different functions however, I forget where that might be located.

[Jovian815]

Yeah... I'm on my phone and it was easier to just attach the sucker for now. I'll be switching it up when I can get on a computer. I've played with the thread you're talking about, to figure out how dice works on this forum.

Gotcha well anyways. . . Welcome to the Vigil! Glad to have you on board. If you haven't yet, I suggest reading all the game info since I update it quite frequently. Mainly for questions I come up that I didn't address at first or something someone brings to my attention. Looking forward to your Investigator man. And thanks for joining the crossing to help support my game. Glad you went with the Eldritch Desperado since I haven't seen it in action yet. For a dollar and fifty cents, it is packed with some awesome features. Waiting on my other friend to submit their Inspector or Vigilante. If he goes Inspector. . . Season 1 is going to be awesome. Even if he goes vigilante it will still be awesome but we discussed somethings if he goes Inspector. What are those things? You gotta wait and see.

Character Name: Elayne Reed Role: Vigilante (No Alias... yet) Age: 17 Race:: Human Character Class: Brawler (Snakebite Striker) Looks: Standing at an unassuming five feet tall, Elayne has burgundy hair reaching down to between her shoulder blades. Her piercing emerald eyes are observant and calculating, and her features often settle into a confident, pretty smirk. Attitude: Cocky and proud, Elayne's ego is too big for the small vessel it has been provided. She is rakish and charming, and the object of many men's (and some women's) fancy. Her temper is nasty once provoked, which can be accomplished easily through comments about her stature (a sore subject between her and her brothers). But unbeknownst to the public at large, she is soon to don an alternate ego... one just as large as the one she has now, though, so fret not. Background: Elayne was born to a small time fisherman and his wife in the harbor district of the metropolis of Havenport. With three older brothers, Elayne learned how to roughhouse at a young age, often being dragged into their wrestling matches against her will. She and her brothers helped her father with his fishing trade, and she learned much about the trade in her youth. When Elayne was 16, her father and her oldest brother were killed in the crossfire between two small-time rival gangs who were fighting for turf in Eden Harbor. They had been pulling a late shift, and had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Their murderer was never caught. Not long after, the young girl's mother took her own life, preferring death to the grief of a lost son and husband, despite having three other children that needed her. Her two older brothers took their father's fishing business and took care of Elayne until she reached adulthood. She helped them in whatever way she could, keeping a stiff upper lip by day, relying on wry wit and humor to keep her morale up, but by night, she often cried herself to sleep, overcome with grief and bitterness. Months passed, and her pain dulled, but it never truly went away. Craving revenge at the men who took her family from her, but only having a vague target, she began to formulate a plan. She would rise up against them, she would fight back, even if she had to do it alone. Virtue: Elayne's primary virtue is Diligence. Growing up helping her father with the fishing business, she learned the value of hard work, and will push herself until the job is done, sometimes to her own detriment. Vice: Elayne suffers from the vice of Pride. When she is underestimated, insulted, or belittled, she endeavors to make sure the slight is paid back, tenfold. Oh yeah, and don't call her short. She doesn't like that either.

Geez, finally! I've been agonizing over this character for days... finally out in the open. I tried to keep the background brief, but if you want me to go into further detail, I'll definitely elaborate on whatever you want.

[Kazegami]

@SonofSamWich: Looks good to me bub. I just need your Vice and Virtue on your application. This is mainly for me to use against you as GM. Muhahah


Also I just got a chance to read my messages and I finally got my game thread folders. So when I get home from work tonight, going to work on that.

[Kazegami]

I also wanted to make sure I mention the posting rate since I have a feeling I didn't do so on my opening thread.

I've been thinking about it and I came to a conclusion. Posting rate is going to be 1-2 posts a day Monday through Friday. We'll use Saturday and Sunday to let our creative juices replenish and for me as the GM to plan some stuff ahead since even with the best laid plans, players have a tendency to go off the beaten path. Also I want to use that time for you guys to pitch me any ideas you want to see as far as your character goes. I won't guarantee it would happen as you wanted or thought or even if I will take it but it is still a possibility. Which I don't mind for this campaign since it really leans towards being character driven. Again, I will give you guys a general goal for each episode such as "You recently came across some information regarding a drug deal going on at that docks. . .etc etc etc". Plus wanted to touch on combat. Usually I am a stickler on mechanics and such however I am taking a "rules light" approach since this is suppose to run more as a television drama and focus in on each character's story and how they intersect with each other. So instead of me using a grind and saying you're 30 ft from Thug A, I am opting more for "You're able to judge the distance between you and the Thug to be in your favor, however with all the garbage and broken glass around it could prove to hinder your approach" Something along those lines. I want to try and it make it as fluid as possible. If that makes sense.

Again this isn't just a campaign but a drama unfolding before our audience. And speaking of audience, I plan on making the episodes public so others like the general public and our friends can read along as the action takes place. I plan to make everything else secert besides the episodes and the character bio section. Hopefully by doing so, we can get more cast members for Season 2. But of course we have to focus on Season 1.

And again I want to thank everyone who has applied or shown an interest. It means a lot and I greatly appreciate you taking a chance on this campaign. I hope as a GM I won't disappoint. And I look forward to what our imaginations my conjure.

Ack, it was so late, I forgot the virtue/vice. Updated with that info. Would you be opposed to me picked runner up virtues and vices? I had trouble just picking one of each. :P

If you want bub. Lol But I will be more focused on your primary. We have wrath, pride, and gluttony for vices so far. No one has done diligence as far as I can see for virtues.

[SonofSamWich]

Oh, I thought Fwalin went with Lust, but I see he changed it to Pride. Here I was thinking I was the first to go with Pride. :P

Well you're the first one for diligence!

[Jovian815]

I've worked for like... 20 minutes trying to resize that image and I'm probably just using the wrong coding system like a total noob. But I think I have her done. Let me know if I'm missing something, because it wouldn't surprise me. I went short and simple on her background because I wanted to let you have some freedom to do whatever with her. I'm sure you'll have an idea or two about what I can add to it.

[Kazegami]

How about you check out the different locations of Havenport for a place she grew up in. About her family, her past. The more you give me, the more things I can plan for her. Mold the setting however you like for her background. Havenport is a huge metropolis brimming with stories to be told and tales not to be forgotten. If you want something extra, I forgot to add this but the Crown right now is in the middle of a war with the Desert Kingdoms who are trying to secede from the Crown's rule iif you want to play with that.
