Name: Brambleheart Race: Elf (Wood Elf) Class: Ranger (Swarmkeeper) Background:Folk Hero (Savior of a Child, Once-Stranger from the Wilds.) Appearance: A tall pale skinned elf, standing 6'5 wearing a patchwork outfit & wearing deer leather moccasin's. Glistening jewelry hangs from her long ears, black hair frost nipped & tangled, full of knots goes down to her upper back. Blackish blue lips find themselves impassive, yet day by day begin to default to a smile warm & understated. Personality: Personality Traits: I enjoy my privacy & am a private person, letting only the words that are needed leave my lips. I've come to enjoy other's company, though I may not always have much to say, I would struggle alone now. I savor the admiration of others, nothing brings a smile to my face more than the laugh of a child, the invitation of an 'Elder' for a drink or someone genuinely wanting me to be around them. Ideal:To live is to help others, it took me a long time to understand that. To understand what life should really be. Bonds:My home has brought my life meaning, days of endless wandering through the pine feel so banal now... Flaws:I struggle to open up, to be emotionally honest & desire to not worry others. I can be considered frigid, cold & inhuman. I am not human, but I wish that I was better able to-to share, how I feel. Backstory: A tale of isolation told through generations. Within the pine, footsteps found in snow, permafrost disturbed. Black eyes without pupils watching from the edge of the forest, wreathed in pelt's & with a bow strapped atop their back. Vanishing for a few years, only to reappear by the end of a fifth no matter what, stalking eyes that watch the village come & go from the edge. It started slowly. The steps into the village, first a small tent placed near the edge of the tree line. Curious eyes & twitching ears, watching as people approached, skittering away. Rare moments where hunters started to run into her in the woods & what had to be fear? Began to dissipate, as questions were bandied out, yet she never replied, never spoke for weeks. Her first reply's were to a small child, lost in the depth's of the woods, having run off in the night & her words were simple. "Come." A heavily accented voice, a child atop her shoulders, she walked into town. Fifty years ago, she walked into town & found smiles granted towards her. Fifty years ago, she began to slink into that town & a smile began to tug onto her lips, thirty years ago a little home began to take shape. Twenty years ago, the children find her in her little shack on the outskirts of town practicing herbalism, tanning hides & smiling at them. Ten years ago, she comes to the meetings hesitantly & goes into the markets to talk. Now? She still holds back her talk, she still looks upon the village strangely, rarely speaking of where she came from. A little place, a little home abandonded for the endless tundra, for the endless pine. For a place called Cilsie, yet if you ask her, it's just? H o m e. Pretty aware your not taking anyone else right now, but I hope your interested in what you see & if anyone drops out or you decide you want another player? Brambleheart, the one who found a home. The one who slowly crept in & let a village seep into her heart? Gets a good shot at it. Last edited by Ath; Feb 29th, 2024 at 03:05 PM. Reason: Grammatical Fixes/Other Errors. |

Name: Bilcock Bannon Race: human Class: wizard Background: guild artisan, merchant Personality traits: I always want to know how things work and what makes people tick I like to talk at length about my profession Ideal: I work hard to be the best there is at my craft Bond: I pursue power to acquire someone’s love Flaw: I am horribly jealous of anyone who can outshine me. Appearance: Bilcock is a young man of average height and build. He has sandy brown hair that he keeps well-groomed and has a clean-shaven face. He wears simple yet well-kept robes. He always has an inquisitive look as he tends to analyze everything. Personality: Bilcock is an intelligent and inquisitive man with a friendly disposition. He is obsessed with knowledge and hates not knowing things. His curiosity tends to get him into trouble as it overrides his common sense at times. He prefers to outthink people rather than fight them and considers a battle avoided to be a battle won. Resorting to violence is a sign that you have failed. History: The son of a successful merchant, Bilcock had a more privileged upbringing than most in Cilsie. He was kept warm and never went hungry, and he got first dibs on many of the items that were brought into the town by traveling merchants. One such item was a spell book which he began studying earnestly. It was written in code, but Bilcock was clever enough to start deciphering it and learn a few simple spells. This triumph only fed his obsession and lust for knowledge. His magical talents make him stand out in Cilsie. Some are impressed, but many others are fearful and superstitious. This did not bother Bilcock too much as his parents’ position in the town protected him from any violence. Then one day one of the barbarian tribes came to town to trade furs and meat. This brought them to Bilcock’s family store where Bilcock laid eyes on the barbarian chief’s daughter, Saskia. She was tall, fair skinned with golden hair and exotic tattoos. Bilcock became infatuated with her instantly and tried to get to know her. She wasn’t impressed with the wizard’s scrawny frame, but she was intrigued by his ability to use magic. Bilcok gave her a gift to signify his interest, and Saskia would return over the years with her father for more trading. While she did not dislike Bilcock, she made it clear that as the chief’s daughter, she would only marry someone who was powerful and noteworthy. To this end, Bilcock redoubled his studies in the hopes of gaining power, and he is eager for an opportunity to prove himself. Why I’d like to play this game: I’ve been looking for something more role play heavy than slaying monsters and bandits and this sounds right up my alley. I have Asperger syndrome so I have a hard time socializing, and DnD helps me interact with people. i'd like something that has more depth and character. RP Sample: Bilcock smiled brightly as he saw the familiar faces of the barbarian chief and his entourage approach his parents’ shop. Bolgruff, the chief, gave the young man an annoyed look. It was no secret he disapproved of Bilcock’s interest in his daughter, but he left his daughter to choose for herself who she associated with. The big man walked past him, and his tribesmen followed. All except one. Saskia walked up to Bilcock with a confident smile on her face. “I have another one for you.” she said, crossing her muscular arms across her chest. “Oh?” Bilcock said, smiling eagerly. “Let’s hear it.” “What gets bigger the more you take away?” Saskia asked. Bilcock’s boyish smile did not waver as he looked up in thought. This was a game that Saskia had started after their first meeting. At first it had been meant to humble the cocky boy who she believed was too arrogant and boastful about his intellect, so she had given him a riddle. When he easily solved it, her opinion of him improved. Now she asked him a new one every time they met. It was something Bilcock looked forward to. Bilcock pondered the question a few seconds before snapping his fingers. “A hole.” Saskia sighed as she shook her head. “I thought I had you that time.” Her tone was slightly frustrated but not upset for she was a good sport, and she was actually pleased that he had passed another of her tests. “It was a good try,” Bilcock said, though his tone was far from humble. “I doubt the average man would have gotten it.” “The average man could still throttle you,” Saskia said, trying to knock him down a peg. At this, Bilcock’s smile wavered. His physical inadequacies were a sore spot for him. To overcompensate for his insecurity, he said, “Only if they get close enough,” he drew magical runes and said “Ignis!” a fist-sized ball of fire flew through the air and hit a nearby barrel, scorching it. “And I’ll blast them before they do.” Saskia looked at the barrel and back at Bilcock before she pulled out one of her throwing axes and hurled it at the target. It struck right in the center of the burn Bilcock had left. She smirked at Bilcock and said, “Oh really?” His ego deflected, Bilcock could do little to regain his dignity. “You just wait, one day I’ll impress you.” “I look forward to it,” Saskia said as she patted him on the shoulder. The physical contact made blood rush to Bilcock’s face, causing him to blush. Saskia noticed and chuckled. “Ok, my turn,” Bilcock said. “I have three feathers to help me fly. I have a body and head but I’m not alive. Your strength determines how far I go. You can hold me in your hand, but I’m never thrown. What am I?” Saskia sighed. While she enjoyed thinking up riddles for Bilcock, she hated being asked them. Not once had she solved any of his. She thought for several seconds, then a minute, then five. Finally, she shook her head and shrugged. “I give up. what are you?” Bilcock smiled, his pride restored. “An arrow.” RP sample from previous game

Phann Aelfdottir. An elven woman of about 80 who was orphaned when her mother died here 87 years ago. she has grown into a highly competent smith (artificer), who was in a relationship with Jessica, a local girl who Phann grew up with and fell in love with, but Jessica died of old age about a decade ago, while Phann still looks like a healthy young woman, leaving the local humans a bit perplexed on whether to treat her as an old widow or a young, and in many cases potentially wooable, woman.
Those old enough to remember do know that before she settled down with Jesssica she had a habit of leading on young men as well as apparently some young women. That was 70 years ago now, so who know what, or who she might be interested in now. She is however, still the town blacksmith and a very capable one at that. |

I like to imagine that there's a single warforged citizen of Cilsie who just kind of helps out anyone in town with anything they need. He makes the day-to-day in town a little more bearable for everyone and things were worse before he wandered into town one day years ago.
Being a machine, he would definitely be a part of the group that the town puts together to investigate and solve the problem of the worsening weather, and his mysterious origins can serve as a GM plot-hook. I would very much like to play this character. Would you allow it, 97mg? |
