[PF-1e] Fall of Eldir

[Dark Asterisk]

Game Name Fall of Eldir

Game System Pathfinder

Theme Being heroic, solving puzzles, fighting monsters, and uncovering lore.

Flavour Post apocalyptic vibes with some fallen empire and epic heroism.

Plot Summary Eldir was a country split off from the Eldaman Empire before the calamities came. One day, the great shrines to the divine beasts opened their sealed doors and the ancient braziers began to smoke. In the same instant, cracks appeared in reality, releasing monsters from myth and legend upon the land like a plague of locusts. Villages and settlements were wiped out swiftly while armies fought against the monsters to protect those fleeing to the capital. These were dark times, but all was not lost. Heroes sprang from the citizens of Eldir with power rivaling that of the monsters and these heroes protect the capital from incursion. Once a year, each hero must make a pilgrimage to their respective shrines for reasons known only to the hero. As long as these shrines exist, the heroes live to hold back the monsters and so has life been for one hundred years. The capital city of Eldir is called Eldonis and it houses around two million people. There are towns now situated around the city with a population of around a million. The monsters have settled across all of Eldir and most likely invaded the Eldaman Empire as well. It's hard to say as Eldir has lost communication with the outside world. The areas outside capital control are known as the untamed wilds and beyond them are the hinterlands. Only the heroes brave these wilds and only they return. Sometimes, a hero may fall in battle and when this happens, a new hero is chosen by the divine beasts to fill the void. The secondary effect of the tears, in reality, created human off-shoots with affinities to elemental or planar forces. These off-shoots were originally met with some scrutiny and sometimes hostility, but now, they have been integrated into society and are mostly treated like normal humans. There is an exception to this with some of the aristocrats, but they currently represent a minority of the population. The newest development has been the formation of multiple heroes for each shrine rather than one. The empire at large and Eldir are a melting pot of cultures, religions, and beliefs. Real-world inspirations could come from both mythology and ancient cultures found in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. If you'd like to know more about a specific Divine Beast or the city, I'll be happy to expand the lore for you. This setting is one I've used for my real-life players, but they started at level 1 and had to earn their status as a shrine hero/champion. Instead, you'll pick up as established level 10 heroes and we'll go from there. The events leading up to the story will involve the dead rising and attacking the living at night as well as a cold mist that creeps into the city and results in the disappearance of citizens. Witnesses swear they see the shadows of monsters in the mist. This is the first time in decades that the city faced such attacks. So far, the attacks and mists have come from the northern section of the city as well as the settlements around there. The attacks appear random and no connection has been found between the attacks and the dead rising. There are regional languages with Eldan being spoken by everyone and then there are dialects of Eldan and languages that predate Eldan.

[Ermine]

Is it supposed to have a Dark Souls/Elden Ring feel? Because the names of the divine beasts give me that feel.

Also, any limits on archetypes for the listed classes (and unchained versions or not?)? Or alternate racial features for the races? And what do you mean by Physical and Mental Traits? Is there a set date you're going to stop taking applications, or are you doing it first come, first serve? Can aasimars and tieflings do the thing where they roll d100 for an alternate to their spell-like ability? Can they do the d100 thing for other cosmetic features?

[Runetide]

I'm totally up for a flavor-dense game like this! Let me ponder for a while.

[Ermine]

I'm considering an aasimar druid. Unsure which kind of each, but I'll be focusing on summoning. Specifically rats.

Maybe a couple levels of Dragonheir Scion Fighter for mild draconic features. Usumgallu the Fallen Dragon as her "patron", of course.

[CatCanCook]

A couple questions:
- Would you be using the Feat Tax Fix?
- Would you be using Background Skills

For the Aasimar/Tiefling races, do you allow the alternate racial heritages? I am interesting the the Oni-Spawn: +2 Str, +2 Wis, –2 Cha instead of the base tiefling.

Likewise, for the Aasimar/Tiefling/Skinwalker races, the descriptions allow these to be Small sized. Are those variants allowed? I'd prefer being Small, to ride Medium mount, which gives more options for going indoors / underground, etc.

I'm interested in being a Druid of the Nature Fang archetype. Kind of a paladin of nature; charge in mounted atop a steed, wreck vengeance against defilers and violators of nature's balance. With the animal companion, in the role of a melee striker. Spells are mostly for out-of-combat buffing and backup.

(If accepted alongside another druid, Ermine's, I'll play a completely different style of druid: a melee animal-companion teamwork striker. I'm sure we can be very differentiated, different shrines / different styles.)

What is the role of the Shrine companions?
- Do they show up as NPCs?
- Will they be around a little or a lot?
- Can you take them as a form of animal companion?

 

Feats: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
(If no feat tax fix) Power Attack
(If no feat tax fix) Combat Expertise
Pack Attack (Teamwork)
Outflank (Teamwork)
Precise Strike (Teamwork)
(If feat tax fix) Improved Spell Sharing
(If feat tax fix) Accomplished Sneak Attacker

Slayer talents: 4, 6, 8, 10
4: Ranger Combat Style => Mounted Combat
6: Ranger Combat Style => Ride-by-Attack
8: Ranger Combat Style => Spirited Charge
10: Ranger Combat Style => Mounted Skirmisher

[Ermine]

Yeah, I'll mostly be a scout type. ^~^ still undecided on archetype. Thinking Pack Lord or Menhir Savant.

Edit: Going with Pack Lord, and not going to take fighter levels. Another question, though: Variant Multiclassing? (I don't like picking feats, so replacing them with static features is nice). I'm assuming no, since not all classes are available, but thought I'd check.

Edit 2: I think I'm going to prepare almost all healing spells, since I can summon spontaneously.

Edit 3: Also, how many traits do we get?

Edit 4: Going Swarm Monger instead. Regular rats that can become swarms are a little easier to hide than a large number of dire rats. Also, the Shrine Champions things...are templates we apply to our characters based on their shrine? Because that's what it looks like. And that would be very nice.

[triedtherest]

Are there any limits on Prestige Classes, and is the Leadership Feat allowed?

I am thinking of a Rogue PC, with the Phantom Thief Archetype, going into the Noble Scion Prestige Class.

[Dark Asterisk]

Ermine - Dark Souls/Elden Ring isn't a bad analogy actually. There is a souls-like quality to this game for sure!

Yes, to all except for first come first serve. I'm still deciding when I'll close the application. By mental/physical traits, I mean give a summary of their mental and physical strengths and any unique traits that stand out. Yes to the d100 for tiefling and aasimar.

No variant multiclassing given how the game is set up with limited classes. Two traits. You are correct, they are templates you add to your character. You get one and it corresponds with one of the divine beasts.

CatCanCook - Yes to feat tax. Yes to background skills. Yes for alternate race features. The role of the shrine is that you are chosen by the divine beast of the shrine to represent them, so you get the template listed in the spoiler button added to your character as champion. Instead of a companion, although, you can at some point gain a companion that fits the theme of your shrine.

triedtherest - No limits on prestige classes. Leadership is allowed in this game. The only caveat with leadership is your companion would need to fit the theme of your shrine/divine beast. So going flame shrine but having an ice-themed sorcerer would conflict.

[DebiRedHair]

Colour me interested. I think an Oread Skald linked to Grnadarg's shrine would be a lot of fun,

[CatCanCook]

Searubis Name: Searubis Race: Skinwalker: Ragebred (Wereboar-kin) Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Class: Druid (Nature Fang) Chosen Shrine: Nature / Botanica the Vibrant Party Role: With animal companion, a melee striker. Out of combat, buffs / utility spells. Physical Traits: This skinwalker, in his human-like form, is a small, hairy, but massively muscled man. He stands about four and a half feet tall, but bulges with rock hard muscles. His hair is black in a mohawk ridge, and coarse, his jaw out-thrust and bordering on bestial. His skin black and leathery. When he skin-walks into his more bestial form, his head becomes that of a boar with sharp and jagged tusks, his feet become hoofed, and his overall shape, while still humanoid, is pronouncedly more boar-like. He has a bit of a pot belly, and he is customarily ravenous; he eats like a pig: preferring vegetarian fare but omnivorous. Mental Traits: Searubis is a creature of his passions and instincts. What he feels, he does: not without wisdom but without care for rules, or law, or social norms. As a wereboar-kin, wrath and anger are close at hand, as well as great warmth and jovial affection. His moods can change on a dime, with whatever stirs him. Deep in his nature is a love and reverence for nature: beast, plant, and the elements that nurture the life force in living creatures. His call is a guardian and avenger of whatever despoils natural order. Nothing stirs his wrath more than corruption which perverts and destroys what is natural. Searubis prefers life away from cities and crowds; he enjoys the loyalty and affection of a small number of people, but among strangers or civilized sorts he will like as not offend if he opens his mouth. Because of his appearance, brute strength and coarse manner, he can be mistaken for unintelligent. He his not: he has a keen snout for problem-solving, and deploys tactics with cunning. Background:   Searubis comes from the Nuvidian clan, black-skinned humans who transformed as a whole into skinwalkers of various sorts when the cracks in reality came. Among their own kind, Nuvidians accepted and rejoiced in their bestial nature -- but they tended to be disdained and stigmatized by the central Eldiran society. They practice ancestor worship, they build pyramids or stone cairns for the dead, and worship beast-headed gods. Nuvidians tend toward chaotic. They lacked the social stability to remain organized as monster raids came in from the hinterlands. Consequently, many of the clan members have come into Eldir's urban core, where they may be social misfits: some turn from their proud ancestral ways to crime or alcohol. While Fighter is the most common class, Shaman, Druid and Skald classes are common. Searubis was born to petty criminals in the dirtiest and most violent streets of Eldir; his mother was of boar-kin (Jascinta) and his father (Surro) of rat-kin descent. He learned early to fight dirty, to cheat and steal, and then slip away stealthily. As a teen his life was headed toward becoming a thuggish rogue. But he was caught in a robbery gone sideways, where he nearly killed a tall young girl. For his punishment, Searubis was conscripted into a work-gang, and assigned to a year of hard manual labor on the outskirts of settled lands. The work was earth moving, to dig moats, build ramparts and fortify at-risk villages on the frontier. There, he witnessed something life-changing: a forest of primeval beauty beyond the outskirts of the town. Raised in the poorest and most polluted district of Eldir, the majesty and wonder of the wild enchanted and softened his heart. The geometry of leaf and branch seemed of mystic and profound beauty. He felt at once the presence of something sacred. Week after week, he actually enjoyed the hard labor -- but not when it required cutting into the forest. That made his blood boil. But then, one morning: the monsters arrived. They were demonic, chimeric, forms both bestial but of evil horror. In wanton destruction, they set the forest aflame. The boy watched, safe upon the ramparts he had sweated to build, while a vision more lovely than anything he had dreamed was consumed in wanton hate. From that day forward: he returned to the druidic faith of his forebears. He learned his grandmother's ways; he put on war-paint. The old tribal chants became his. For a decade now, he has served as a war-druid, devoted to Botanica the Vibrant. He has stood alongside soldiers of all description, using his skills for the healing of all who combat destruction and desecration, and for vengeance against despoilers. A lawless wanderer, he has lost taste for city life and meanders as the winds take him. (As an advancing druid) Searubis as an experienced druid has traveled far and wide in his roving career, from the mountain highlands of Bantir to the marshes and wetlands of Rami. It was in Bocor that he met and tamed Nugambo, his third and longest surviving animal companion. His career as a champion was transformed when he purchased a magical saddle that enabled Nugambo and Searubis to collaborate much more effectively in tactics. Searubis retrained his talents substantially at that point, and since then has enjoyed increasing fame as a mounted defender against dangerous encursions. He attracted a follower in the swamps of Rami. A witch-woman descended from an Annis Hag had been in increasing conflict with some villages (who were themselves on the brink of collapse due to monstrous incursions.). He was contacted to save the village by defeating the witch. Instead he found a woman who was wrestling with her conscience and self control, poised on the cusp of hearing the Mother's Call and turning full hag, vs resisting it and staying a lesser (non-cannibalistic, non-monstrous) humanoid. He supported her in her redemption (but just as well might have killed her if it had gone the other way.). Since then, hag and boar-kin have traveled together as an odd couple. She rides a warhorse to keep apace with him, and generally tries to support the purposes of her mentor and Botanica. If there is one region the druid has always avoided, it is Dwemi. The lack of life repulses him, even if it natural in a desert land. As well, he has long fel ill omens from that direction, he knows not why. (in town) Searibus invested a bit of cash as a co-owner of Crown and Wheel on Baker Street. He and Katya lodge on the third floor -- she gets what used to be a hallway and he a closet. (Really they are contemptuous of luxuries and he'd just soon sleep in an open field.) His "office" is a back table in the bar, where he can deal with those who have need of a Mighty Champion, and where he can knock back a few. RP Sample: Searubis riding upon Nugambo the Tiger came reluctantly back to Eldir. He was a sight to behold upon the beast: he black of skin and fur, almost as bestial as his mount. Nugambo striped in black and white: a prowling menace that made the city-folk flinch. Well, he was here to help these people from the rising dead. "Peace to you!" he growled. "I come in the name of Botanica, to fight against the rising dead." He offered flowers -- grown earlier by magical enchantment. (Children cowered, and flinched away.) "I come from the frontier, where I have defended many villages against monsters." He pro-offered good-berries; he kept many small jars of them, carefully label by date, held in double criss-crossing bandoliers. He'd gotten that idea from an alchemist-hero of Thestalon the Arch-Phoenix. But were that fellow carried deadly bombs and admixture he held healing. "Good-berries will heal injuries. They will keep you well-fed and satisfied! " He offered gifts of nature's holy blessings, freely. A rotten cabbage banged off his hastily raised shield. It was from an upper balcony, a gap toothed old man. "Nuvidian! Boar-kin, you lot are just a mess of bullying, thieving trouble. Go back to the woods!" That stung. He had been a thief and he had hurt people, on these very streets. But instead of contrition, rage bellowed out." DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? I'm hear to defend you! From undead. From evil mist!". At his tone, Nugambo snarl and spun about, ready to pounce, rend and tear. People fell back abruptly away from them. "Peace now," said a veteran constable, captain -- stepping forward from the crowd. "This good fellow is here to help, he has quite some reknown -- both as healer and fighter. Why, he's a dragon slayer -- see his armor? Apologies to you, good sir. The people here are spooked, unfortunately. We have been under attack. People have been disappearing, and it's put everyone on edge, suspicious of any strangers. We put out a call for heroes. Eldir is threatened, as never before in my time. But ... well, people are disconcerted at who has answered the call. There's an undead hero, a lady with rat-swarms and, well, sir you uh can be a bit daunting atop that fine animal. Forgive the discourtesy." As quickly as his rage had spun up, he calmed. He puffed out his chest, stood tall in the saddle. Praise to his faithful companion always cheered him. "Yes, that's me: dragonslayer, hero, defender. I'm glad somebody has sense about them! " his voice was still snarling and unpleasant, but he meant well. "Good captain, I'll buy you a tankard of the finest: Is Crown and Wheel still there on Baker Street? And you tell me what you can about the troubles here, eh? And who is gathering to answer the call."

This functions as the rogue sneak attack ability. If the nature fang gets a sneak attack bonus from another source, the bonuses on damage stack. This ability replaces resist nature’s lure.

These if successful, will trip opponents and cause them to provoke attacks of opportunity, for which Searubis has Combat Reflexes. - Nugambo will almost always want to charge=pounce. - Searubis would often want to resolve his attack first, having done a swift studied target, having crazy to hit bonuses, and getting a free trip attempt on the first attack. - Between flanking at +4 and tripping many opponents, Nugambo's attack routine, iterative attacks, or AoOs should land pretty reliably. - With a charge on a lance, Searubis will do x3 damage. - Both Searubis and Nugambo can can threaten at a 10' range, if Searubis is using a lance and Nugambo using a lunge. To enable both to pounce and benefit from flanking, Nugambo should be lunging all the time - If they cannot charge for some reason, as a skirmisher he can still do a full attack. Attack stats on a typical charge: - +7 BAB + 8 Str + 2 enh + 2 charge + 4 outflank + 3 studied target -3 power attack = + 23 to hit Damage one handed: 1d8 + 8 Str +6 power attack + 2 ench +1d6 (template) + 1 (trait) + 3 (studied) X 3 = 28 X 3 = 84 damage + 7 precision = 91 average damage Damage two handed: 1d8 + 12 Str + 9 power attack + 2 ench +1d6 (template) + 1 (trait) + 3 (studied) X 3 = 35 X 3 = 105 + 7 precision = 112 average damage With a gore attack, he can attack at 5' even when a reach weapon is at 10' -- helpful for AoOs. A full attack would be without the X 3 damage or charge bonus to hit. So +21 to hit for 28 damage.

She is veiled and mysterious. Her charisma is force of personality, not beauty. She has some of the apparent traits of her hag descent. She is six foot five with hunched back, warty blue skin. Like her progenitor, she was tempted to dwell in swamplands far from man ... but at last the vileness of the reality-distorting invasion turned her stomach: she rejected the hag ways and the tempting call to evolve into a monster. Since then she conceals her physical attributes behind veils. Her patron totem is a swampland dragonfly, a creature of the misty mires and of darting motion. She has been Searubis's companion for several years; like him she is a wandering free spirit, and like him she shares the conviction to defend the natural world after her home region was obliterated by monstrous invasions She has come to revere Botanica. https://aonprd.com/ArchetypeDisplay....tch%20Ashiftah Str 7 Dex 10 Con 14 Int 17+2(race)+1(level) = 20 Wis 12 Cha 14+2(race) = 16 FCB +7 hp Witchborn (Changes racial modifiers) Hag Magic: Some changelings develop a gift for spellcasting instead of their mothers’ overtly fearsome traits.

[Ermine]

Application Name: Yemoja, better known as Ratspeaker Kahina Race: Aasimar (variant ability to be rolled later, Deathless Spirit, Halo, Medium Size, Standard variant) Class: Druid (Swarm Monger archetype) Chosen Shrine: Chromatic - Usumgallu the Fallen Dragon Party Role: Emergency Healer, Summoner, Scout, Backup Face. Her cohort focuses on bad touches. Physical Traits: Tall, at 6'5", though her frame is slender, almost frail-looking, but deceptively sturdy. Her eyes are a deep brown, even darker than her skin. Tightly woven black hair keeps out of her eyes and goes back into more than a dozen rat skull-tipped braids. Her clothing appears to be just robes, but she hints that she has more layers beneath, where she houses her rat companion, Madness. She doesn't appear to be over 18, but is very likely at least a few years older. Her spells all appear to be either rat- or dragon-like, depending on the spell, as some spells she views as hers, and others as Usumgallu's. Her skin has patches of dark, iridescent scales, she has extra canine teeth, and more obviously, a large set of dark, iridescent leathery dragon wings. (Also has another feature to be rolled later) Mental Traits: Intelligent, as well as highly perceptive and personable. Basically, well-rounded, but with a strong lean into her investigative abilities. Like a rat. Background: Kahina spent her youth in the streets of Eldonis, not out of necessity (she had a home in the city), but because she felt they called to her. She had very few friends besides the rats that kept her company over the years. She didn't identify with her family, save for the fact they had a swarm of children (10 siblings, not counting herself), something she hopes to one day achieve. If not literal children, then metaphorical ones. She has her own home now, but only uses it for sleeping, leaving nothing inside except rats and a bed. Her father disappeared in the fog, but she hasn't reached a stage where she mourns him yet. She herself has almost died numerous times, but most notably when she was 7 and was nursed back to health by rats, as she had nearly died in the streets in a robbery gone sideways. She spent even more time in the streets after that, and started using rats to support her lifestyle. Her druidic magic comes from her bond with rats, but also from Usumgallu, who has granted her a cohort, a dragon disciple named Ellie, as a show of their strong bond. Kahina has never experienced romantic attraction for anyone, and doesn't know if she's capable. After all, no one she's met has been as honest with her as her rats. She has some feelings of some kind for the guard captain, but doesn't know if it's just friendly attraction. Maybe aesthetic attraction? She was a freelance investigator for the city guard for a while, solving crimes simply by asking rats who did them. She'd usually get a pretty solid description which she would relay to her handler. Most of the guard considered her one of their own, but several viewed her as a nuisance and tried to ask the guard captain to not hire her anymore. The guard captain, however, did not go through with their requests, hiring her whenever Kahina had a lead. RP Sample:   A little over a year ago: "The rats say it was a balding human in lightweight clothes. Since they couldn't make out what color he was wearing, it was likely red. He had a...what I assume meant "pistol," though that's a little harder to tell. Believe it or not, rats don't generally understand weapons of any kind that isn't immediately obvious." The nearest of the city guards scoffs. "We're supposed to take your word for it? You could be saying anything you want!" He turns his head to Guard Captain Inari L'Mothe, who looks concerned. Not that the ratspeaker may be lying, but that there's dissent from someone in her command. "I believe her." The captain says after a long pause. "She's not lied to us once. Why would she start now?" The lower guard is taken aback, speechless. He salutes the captain, however, and turns back toward the ratspeaker. "If you're done, I can give finer details of his appearance." Ratspeaker Kahina sounds annoyed, but only a little; as if she were dealing with a child telling the same joke over and over again. "He had a small nose. 'Too small' they said. And the horns of a goat." A lot more recently: The chromatic champion returned to Eldonis with little fanfare. She preferred it that way. She was no more important than anyone else, in her eyes. She would have liked to have met with Inari again before seeking the source of the mist and the undead, but that would have to wait. Or would it? She saw the guard captain approach. "You should have someone here to welcome you," Inari said. "I hate to admit that since you left, we haven't found a trace of the goat-horned man. If you could send out a search yourself...no, I know you can't right now." "I would if I could." the Ratspeaker said. "I need to meet with some others first, though. Have the other Champions arrived?"

[Seekr34]

Name: Dunkan
Race: Dhampir
Class: 6th level Rogue/4th level Shadowdancer
Chosen Shrine: Erebus the Primal Dark - Shadow
Party Role: Scout
Physical Traits: About 6 feet tall, this very handsome young human looking man has dark skin, dark brown eyes, long dark black hair down to shoulders. Medium build, athletic. Dressed in all black, with a chain like shirt & vest and matching black pants designed for simplicity and mobility. High boots. Bow at his back and a sword sheathed at his left hip. A dagger sheathed at each thigh and at each side.

Mental Traits: He walks with confidence, like one that can handle himself, but because life threw him a bump in the road of life, it isn't easy for him to fit in with others at times. He keeps to himself mostly, but once he is excepted, he becomes more open. While he may seem like a loner, he doesn't shut himself out, he will engage and seems even outgoing, during the day though, he becomes a bit quieter when on the road. It could be he's on alert for any surprises, but it seems he's on guard for another reason.

Background:

 

She woke up in cold sweat, although she felt warm. Her window was open again and she looked under the sheet, she was naked again. She couldn't understand what was going on. Rachel was afraid to tell anyone, she heard the stories. Women being seduced during the night in their dreams. She got up, shut the window and looked into the mirror and found couple of small cuts on her neck. Now she was terrified, she heard of vampires but who would she know that could be one? Her parents gone, the only one she could trust, was her professor. The next day after class, she approached him.

"Professor, I think I am in trouble." she says as she lightly bit her lip.

He turned to her from his books. "Nonsense, you will do well on the test, you have the potential to be the best scholar of the class."he smiled.

"Nnn no,nothing about class, it's..."

"Well my dear, spit it out." he smiled at her, putting her at ease, making her feel warm and fuzzy each time he smiles at her.

"It's this." she took off her scarf and showed him her neck.

He stood up and looked at the neck and his eyes on hers. "I see..." his hand roamed to her belly and slowly moving up. Any other time, she would refuse the advances, but she was memorized by him, so charming and so nice to her. She felt his hand softly cupping her breast and find herself kissing him passionately....

Rachel woke up middle of the night, a bit sweating but warm feeling but very tired as well. She noticed her window was open again, as well as being naked under the sheets. Scared and confused, she doesn't sleep in the nude and always has her window closed but been going on 10 weeks now. She gotten up to close it and walked by her mirror. She noticed her neck's cuts, they looked fresh. Strange, she put on her nightgown and seemed a bit tight. She went back to the mirror and stared open mouthed in shock. Her belly had swelled. How she thought? She hasn't been with anyone. She was really frightened now. She told her professor, scared and not wanting her family or others to know because she had no answer. Once again, with a charming smile, he put her at ease, and talked her into staying with him, he would tutor her at his mansion and his servants would wait on her while he was out during the day. Her belly swelled with the coming months and during her eighth month, Professor Warrick had an emergency and had to leave town for a few weeks.

A month later she gave birth to a healthy boy, but there was a problem, his skin would change every time he was exposed to the sun, he would look all bruised like he was beaten. His skin would turn back to normal when he was out of the sun. The child was examined, and they asked Rachel all kinds of questions and for the majority of them, she didn't have an answer. She wanted her baby and go home but they took the child for studies and kept Rachel in a guarded room. When the Professor came back, he appeared in her room and brought her back to his home.

"What's going on, where's my baby? They say he has vampire blood, isn't that crazy?"

"Hmm, not really my lovely Rachel. It's rare, but it does happen on occasion." he grins at the girl as he leads her into the house.

"What? but, but how can it be real?" she looked to him for guidance and answers. She felt concerned about him always but yet, felt safe with him whenever he made eye contact with her. Just… weird mixed feelings.

"Because my dear, I am the father and you and I will live forever as lovers. Do not worry about the child." He turned around to face her with a smile, his teeth pointed and sharp. She screamed as he bit into her and she fell into a pleasant dream...


Growing up, he never knew his parents. All he knew was that some young lady looking like a noble claiming to be his aunt, came and got him but a week later, brought him back. He became an orphan, although he was adopted, he was soon given up, then another couple adopted him, then found what he was. was quickly given him up as well, back to the street, when word spread what he was, no other family came to him, he was not wanted. If that wasn't bad enough, he had trouble making friends as well. For a child, that's rough as it can get. Unable to fully play outdoors on a bright and sunny day with the other children because of his eyes being sensitive to light, he had to either wear a hat, hood or just stay in the shade and watch the others play. His face exposed in the sun alone kept others away, shunning him, while others bullied him. He was living on the street like a common urchin. As he gotten older, he found he was much more agile than the others and on occasion, his ability frighten others. He did wind up with one friend, someone he could actually call a friend and could rely on. Ghuan was a half-drow and he had his own similar troubles with the community. The two of them became best friends and the two of them protected each other, becoming blood brothers. They both helped each other find each other’s true identity, though Ghuan's history was easier to reveal, half surface elf, half drow. Dunkan finally found out what he was later on and that gave him another question about his mother, not knowing if she was dead or alive, now he wonders if she gave him up because of what he was? The two managed to get invited to the Beggers Guild and two of them tackled the prejudice together, understanding the fear others may have but since they don't have the full abilities of their tainted blood and Ghan pose no real threat, why did the people continue to treat them as outcast?

The two grew up to adulthood in the big city, with the two of them becoming quite a force, with Ghuan's drow blood resisting charm and sleep spells and Dunkan's vampire half resisting mind effects from enemies, they were a force to be dealt with. Having trouble entering their minds, they had to face the duo up close. Their reputation spreading, The Guile's Fingers of the Thieves Guild came a calling, accepting both of them and both of them enhanced their abilities, learning more skills to better themselves, thriving. Both learned a lot at the guild, besides the art of thievery, they learned how to strike and when to strike, they also learned to fight, though not warriors, even thieves need to know how to defend themselves. As their skills grows, they had still had their troubles. Their skills and abilities, surpassing their peers has added jealously besides bullying and being shunned. Their teacher Larald though thought differently. He saw the two young men as exceptional thieves that could only make the guild more powerful. He has been around for a long time, he knows the two mix breeds had no real power of their evil blood and enjoyed teaching the two.

The Guild, having excepted both as they are, treating them as equals. Both of them were moving up the ranks quickly, becoming respected among their peers, both becoming great burglars, moving up in the ranks fairly quickly. They both became Masters, things were going so well for them that they wondered when their luck would run out. Some years later, it came. Drow had appeared, making deals with both Grand Masters of both the Thieves Guild and the Assassin Guild. Dunkan and Ghuan still had a few enemies and both were always on the alert. It was those same enemies that made a deal with the drow. The two were given the task of finding a small box in the warehouse that were heavily guarded. They took four men with them and set off on the mission, once they arrived at witching hour, Dunkan took two with him to the back, while Ghuan took two and went to the front. Each only managed to reach the second room in when the four men suddenly disappeared. Quickly crouching, scanning the area with his darkvision, he saw movements, then he was attacked. It was hard fought, and he was losing when he heard rats. Dunkan quickly communicated with them and after quickly making a deal, the rats came and came in droves. They were much more than the dhampir had ever expected and the rats attacked the drows. The dhampir quickly escaped and searched for Ghuan. It was a good thing he went stealth, because there were other drows and they didn't notice the the thief as they went by, hearing their comrades shouting. Once alone, the dhampir rogue had found his half drow comrade, his best friend. It was ugly sight, Ghuan was sprawled on the ground, body slashed, and his throat cut. Taking a couple of personal items from Ghuan, he went into hiding. He heard the drow were working with the two guilds and guessed they were sent after Ghuan and himself by their jealous enemies. For the first time since he was a child, he wept, Ghuan was like a true brother and now he was gone. He wanted revenge, but Holken, the Guild Master asked him not to pursue, the drows were out of their league, at least for now. After a few days, he finally realized that it wasn't worth going after his fellow rogues, at least not yet. It was time to leave and with a heavy heart, Dunkan left the city. He thought about his father, if he ever met him, he had to die. But how would he know which vampire sired him? Yet, it didn't really matter, they all needed to die anyway, including the drows. He vowed revenge and one day, he will avenge Ghuan, but right now? He'll perhaps start a new life. He shrugged and pulled up his hood as the sun was nearing its peak on this bright, sunny if not bit hard on the eyes day...

He had come to a large town after a few weeks and decided to stay a bit. He joined the guild there, and with no one knowing what he was, he got along with others pretty well. There was one man, a human, he was amazing, he would be there one minute, then gone the next. He worked with him one time and the man seem to travel inside the shadows and just blew Dunkan away. Everyone had called the man Shadow because of what he can do. Dunkan tried to get the man’s secret, but he wouldn’t tell. It was a week later, coming out of the inn, Shadow was ambushed, and Dunkan just happened to be nearby and went to help. There were three of them and after one of them fell, the other two decided to take off, now that the odds were even. In return for for the fellow thief’s help, Shadow granted Dunkan whatever he wanted. He wouldn’t accept anything but the secret. So Shadow showed him the art of being a shadowdancer.

A few months later, during the late evening, he heard a scream, he moved quickly toward the scream and saw a woman trapped in an ally with three men. He recognized the woman from the brothel, and he jumped in. The men turned, and Dunkan, bein outnumbered, hissed at them, showing his incisors. The men then turned pale and quickly ran away as fast as they can go, yelling “Vampire!!” His incisors disappeared just as fast as he turned to the woman to see if she was alright, but the woman looked scared out of her wits and fainted. He realized then that she saw his teeth and he sighed.

He left town and the next morning, he came upon another traveler. The other man quickly attacked him and Dunkan quickly cut him down. Looking at the dead man, wondering why he attacked. He blinked, he knew the man, he was one of the men who had set him and Ghuan up. He searched the pockets, saw a note. More memories came back to him and his fists balled. They haven’t changed, if anything, they gotten worse. He knew now, that this was the time for payback.

He had met up with a lovely woman on the way to a shrine of the Shadow. Turns out, the woman was reformed Succubus. They were chosen among many others and the dreaded monsters had come. It was a long battle, but the heroes of the people won, the monsters pushed back, defeated. Dunkan was one of the survivors, his girlfriend Lita though, did not. So he was once again alone. He would settle in one area for no more than three years, then he would move on. He once had stayed in a town for four years and people had begun to wonder why he was aging like the rest of them. Once a year, he made his yearly trip to the Shrine of Shadow. He had hoped there would not be another war with the monsters, but he didn't put much faith into it. Nothing stayed peaceful forever.

RP Sample: he had escorted a handful of people to a large town and there was trouble. The cemetery. The dead were rising at night, and something was going on in the Mausoleum. Atwood knew what was going on, he never dealt with it but instinctively, he knew.
He went inside alone, the town didn’t have a lot of guards left, many been killed or became the walking dead. The ranger fought through some of the undead and then, he came to the creature that was causing all the problems. The vampire. The creature smiled at Atwood like he was some tasty morsel. Atwood flung his hood back and bared his fangs. This took the vampire by surprise, but something told him that the man was not a true vampire. They fought and fought hard but at the end, Atwood had won, but barely.
The undead outside and had fallen since their master was dead. When the town people saw this, they cheered and they came to the gate of the cemetery and waited, hoping their hero would make it out alive. He did, he stumbled out, wounded. When people got close, they saw him and gasped.
Atwood saw the people, then realized his hood was down.

“The vampire is dead, the town is safe now.” he said. He was exhausted, and hurt.

“Yeah, but what are you? Your face is all dark and bruised, like….”

“I’m half human.”

“What’s the other half?”

People wanted to know what was going on but before Atwood could say anything else, a man had nocked an arrow and fired it at Atwood, and when he fell, the mayor pushed the bow aside. “You don’t have to kill him.”

“Well look at him.”

“I am, he saved our town from a vampire and as you can see, He’s half human as he said and whatever his other half is, doesn’t matter.”

“Then what is he?”

“I don’t know, but you are hereby under arrest.”

“For what? We don’t know what he is, and he looks like some half dead man.”

“Yes, but a hero as well, he didn’t have to do what he did.”

The town was split, half thought the killer should hang for trying to kill a man who saved their town, while the other half was wary of what Atwood was, perhaps he had his own plans for the town. After a full day of thinking, the mayor had the would be killer sit behind bars for 30 days. He had Atwood given a free meal and room. When Atwood had healed from his wounds a couple of days later, it was the third morning, after breakfast, that Atwood decided to go on his way, he wasn’t going to stay around and keep looking over his shoulder. The mayor however, gave him some coins, apologized, and wished the lad well..

Seekr34 -- it looks like the DM of this game doesn't allow the Ranger class. If you want favored enemy: undead I'm not sure how you'll get it.

Background: Thranodyne was a first generation elemental-blooded; his parents were normal human, yet he was born so completely changed. He was selected at a young age to become the inheritor of the Arch-Phoenix's mantle, as his predecessor had foreseen their passing in the coming years. The training under the prior champion was brutal, but Thranodyne eventually persevered and showed a burning hot combination of talent and dedication that earned the Arch-Phoenix's favor. Thranodyne went where he would for a few years, gathering experience and learning to use his own magical ability in new ways. A number of times he only barely managed to escape with his life intact, but each near-fatal encounter only drove him to burn hotter and brighter, until upon the day he took on the mantle he had become a miniature sun. Metaphorically of course. Mostly. RP SAMPLE The village of Lamec did their best to evacuate in an orderly fashion. It was late at night, on a new moon, so the only light they had to work by was the lights they brought with them; Torches, lanterns, even a few candles carried by the weak and infirm. The population of Lamec were moving as silently as possible, mothers shushing their children, while many animals towed on ropes had their mouths bound. They fled down the main street of the village, heading out the south gate and onto the main dirt road that would eventually lead them to the only trade route that reached the nearest full city. As they fled, a few of the young or curious would look back the way they came, to the gates on the opposite side of the log palisade that stood as the village's defenses. Defenses they knew would not stand. Not while there were raiders on the way. All that they could see of their precious village was an orange light on the far side of the gate. A light cast by the body of a single individual. Clad in black cloth with deep orange underlayers, a bronze-skinned man stood in front of the gates with his back to the village, looking out into the darkness. His shining gold eyes peered through the darkness as he grit his obsidian teeth. As much as they fled because of the bandits and raiders, the village had left at the insistence of the Ifrit who stood watch. A suggestion, more than anything else. The man didn't care for the buildings, but lives... lives were more precious. "Come on... why are you all so slow?" the man grumbled, swiping a hand through a mane of burning flames that was his hair. His hairline was broken up by a pair of smoking charcoal-like horns that flanked the sides of his head and swept back like a crown of embers. An arrow shot out of the darkness, piercing the sky as it bore down on the ifrit standing guard. Just outside of the man's reach, however, the arrow seemed to encounter a wall of intense heat, combusting. Ash and molten iron splattered against the ifrit's chest, of which he merely brushed the molten metal off of him with a look of annoyance. "Oh, there you are." The Ifrit observed, watching the bandits melt out of the darkness outside of the light he was casting. Sixty men and women, the thug he had captured earlier had said. Sixty bandits, dead set on taking everything they could from Lamec, and destroying anything they couldn't take with them. The Ifrit shook his head, looking over the assembling crowds who were staring at him. Their eyes seemed hollow, remorseless, almost dead inside. "Look, you all still have one last chance to surrender, and I promise I'll let you live." The ifrit offered, extending a hand to them. A number of the bandits chuckled, and others just raised their bows or crossbows in his direction. One man, a burly guy with a large falchion, pointed his weapon at the Ifrit and spat on the ground. "Yay." The man said sarcastically. "I was hoping you'd say that." His palms burst into flames, and the fire spilled from his hands to the ground. Where they fell, the flames snaked out across the ground, drawing a burning line that shot out into the darkness, encircling the bandits. As the line grew, jets of fire sputtered and roared, reaching ten feet in height. The bandits recoiled from the waves of heat coming off the wall. They were trapped in a burning ring of fire "From here on out." he called out, his eyes shining bright like the sun itself burned within his head."You're out of last chances." The screaming was only for a short time, but for a brief time, the villagers of Lamec fled their village in fear as the screams of the bandits sang from there to the distant mountains.

It looks like the previous alchemist mentioned in Searubus's RP sample died and Thranodyne replaced them. That would make a good RP sample for you, @Runetide~
