Name: Zion Runningblade
Race: Human Class: Paladin - Oath of Conquest God: Torm Personality: He gets along with others just fine, then there are times when he sits by himself. He's ferocious in a fight, someone you know will be there. He's been helping others for a long time, hearing stories of Karredal and now that there's an opportunity, he is going to see to it that the people arrive back in their ancestral land. Appearance: 6' tall, dark green eyes and bright red hair. Medium build and athletic. Has a bow at is back, a sword at his left hip and a shield in his hand. A dagger sheathed at his right thigh. He wears a chain shirt, prefers the flexibility of it compared to a full suit of armor. While not cocky, he does walk with confidence of one not afraid of a challenge. [IMG] Background: Folk Hero (I stood alone against a terrible monster) Personality Trait: I judge people by their actions, not their words. Ideals: Respect: People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Bonds: I protect those that cannot protect themselves. Flaws: I'm convinced of the significance of my destiny and blind to my shortcomings and the risk of failure. Backstory: Zion grew up in a town, it had a wall around it. There two ways in, a gate in the front and the rear, a secret passage that was tunneled underground from 50 yards and under the wall into a basement of a building. Soldiers were always around, guarding the town and the farm outside. The farmer would enter the gate for the night. No one stayed outside the gate at night, except the nomads that roamed around. They were near the wild borders, all sorts of creatures were out there, it was folly to be caught out there alone. Men were either killed or made into slaves, depending on the creatures. The women were either killed or taken for breeding, thus, the rise of the half-orcs. Children, may the gods protect them were either killed, made into slaves, or made into a meal. You always had to be on the alert, the monsters were relentless. Zion had asked his family if it was always like this and will be always like this. His grandfather started reading to him from a book that was handed down to him for centuries, passing it on to each family member. New books were written after the people left and what their new life had been like and is. Not a lot was said about the exiles for the stories always varied. They were slaves, but some were living the good life, especially the elven slaves. Some were doing nothing but hard labors, especially from the dwarves. As he gotten older, he had read the books over and over. He asked how all this happened, but no one knew. His grandfather had notes, he feels it was the cult. No proof, but everything seems to be pointed to them. When he began his teen years, his grandfather sat him down and handed him the family crest and told him the Runningblades were a long line of noble dignity. The men were warriors of faith, paladins, the women were of the cloth of faith, clerics. He asked Zion, who was the oldest, to carry on the tradition and train to be a paladin. Yes, he knew it wasn't the same back then, but that wasn't the point, it was pride, and the determination, the thrive and never giving up. Zion had a couple of uncles that were paladins, one of them had given up hoping for anything better, his own father, now retired, didn't have the same spirit now like he did when Zion was a youngin. Things will get better his grandfather insisted, nothing ever stayed the same, might take longer than other things, but everything always changes, either for good or bad. They had enough bad times, the good had to come sooner or later. His grandfather, a man of great wisdom and knowledge, had never let Zion down, he a proud man, and the lad was determined not let the old man down. So Zion went into training, he was taught how to fight properly, he taught how to treat others. He was going to be a warrior of faith he was told. Fighting and destroying evil was only a third of it, the second part was treating others as equals, regardless of station they were in. Always help your fellow man, do it for two reasons, one is it the thing to do, the right thing. The second is, treat them as you would like to be treated and in most cases, you will be treated as you like. The third and last part was, to learn obedience and keep your anger in check. May not like some things, may not like some folks, but violence isn't the answer, the only time violence is needed is defeating evil. Other than that, it was not solve anything, IF anything, it will make things worse. As he gotten older, he learned the proper etiquette, he learned how to fight, not only with his hands and weapons but with the shield as well. The time came to take an oath and there were many to chose from. The way his people been struggling against the monsters outside, the way they were treated by the other races. Sure, he can understand how they feel, but his fellow humans were not part of that time. How can they treat them as if they were the same as their ancestors? One oath was too weak he thought, especially this day and age. He finally found the perfect one, the Oath of Conquest. When he took the oath, his grandfather, who now was on the decline, took him to their favorite fishing hole and the talked. The old man warned him about some of the paladins that taken that same oath had become known as Hell Knights and to check his feelings and his gut instincts at all time. It will be a matter of time before they will shun all that is good and there's isn't much left as it is. Zion promised. He had gotten better in everything now and was a man's man. While he was a paladin, there were levels of status, at the level where he was, he was called Myrnidon. No one could remember where or how that name came about, they just knew it was a ancient word. Zion didn't like it much, he couldn't wait to rise higher and be called a Champion. Then that day came, word spread like wildfire. A man named Varad was raising an army and he was leading the humans back to their homeland, Karredal. Thhe other races had mixed feelings of it, the Cult, they were against it and his grandfather wasn't surprised by that. Varad needed adventures to out and scout and perhaps clean out any filth that was in his way. This is it his grandfather exclaimed, the time for them has finally come and told Zion to go forth and do his people and his family proud. Goals: Zion's goal is to bring his people back to their true home, to rise in power and live in peace once more. He is tired of all the suffering they had gone thru because of their ancestors. It wasn't fair and he was going to everything he can to end the suffering and begin the glory. About the player: Been playing D&D since 1979, started with the red box Basic Edition. Moved on to 1st edition when it came out, then the 2nd edition. We would mix the two editions together. 1979 thru 1990 I think, played tabletop. Had one campaign that lasted at least 10 years. Every Saturday, we played between 1pm to 11pm. Only stopped to wolf down dinner. The life got in way, played tabletop with one or two different groups, played by e-mail on Prodigy, we all had password for one e-mail. We would log on and post our moves. 1993 I played online only, either thru e-mail or NWN on AOL (american online) off and on, then in 2002, my cousin and very best friend who also was my first dm that got me into the game (didn't have much of a choice then. LOL) had died from crohn. He was only 31, devastated all of us. Well, I stopped playing completely, I just lost all interest. Then 2005 I began getting the itch again, started with other rpg and then saw NWN on the shelf. I remember looking at the box and thought to myself, "Wow, cool graphics, they really improved it." Now remember, I was completely out of the loop then. When I started playing it, had things I never heard of or remembered, I played on the server and saw classes I never heard of. On the server, I found out 3.0 had come out. In 2014 I discovered this website. I played 1st, 2nd, 3.e editions on here, had no idea what pathfinder was until I found out a co worker plays and he told me about it. I tried 4th edition, didn't like it. So on here, been playing all the editions except 4th until last month, decided to give it another go at it. Still playing it thus far. Also playing Pathfinder on here as well. Then, once a week, every Saturday night, I play on roll20 site with a group. Half the group I knew from playing with them online back in the early 90's. So I guess I am experienced, rusty, and a newbie in some areas. My toughest part of playing on here is posting. While I do post regularly, I see many players posts paragraphs of their move and thoughts each time. I can now and then, nowhere that much like others, but I do try. There you have it. Damn, I just realized I been playing 40 years this year. Getting old. LOL

This sounds very interesting. I have so many character concepts that would fit this game, I'll do some thinking and get an application up ASAP.

I believe the application is complete. If you would like a link to the Character Sheet just let me know and I'll send it to you, MemoryBeast.
My Personal Experience: I've played RPGs for several years now, though usually as a DM. I am brand new to PBP, but I it's not my first forum rodeo and I have played via live chat on discord several times as well. I love text based medium as it allows players to be so much more in-character and interactive with their environment. I'm open to modifying anything about this character to fit the campaign if the DM thinks it would make for a better experience. Last edited by Jab Burrwalky; Apr 4th, 2019 at 09:01 PM. |

My application is now complete. I would welcome a review, if you intend to do any. I have filled in the character sheet, but might change some minor things as I take a closer look and get new and interesting ideas.
In my backstory I made up a fair bit of stuff that might or might not fit with the DM’s view of the world, and possibly the vision of other players who might get selected for the game. Nothing there is written in stone (heck, it’s not even printed on paper!) so I’m willing and able to make any changes needed to the background. The same goes for the other details, if something isn’t quite working I’m happy to work on changing that.

Okay, I think I'm finished for a review! I'm willing to change anything that doesn't quite fit for the story, or if any additional things need to be addressed.
