[Characters] The Unlikely Heroes

[DraconigenaArma]

One post per player, in the following format.

Biographical Information Name, race, gender, bio-metrics, etc. A list will do just fine.

Background Where you came from.

Personality Your character's personality.

 

Character sheets have more than enough room to explain its content when the PCs are level three, but barely have enough lines to hold all the abilities of this kind of character. Use this space to give breakdowns of bonuses and keep an eye on bonus types, give an idea of ability combinations, the why/how your tricks work, special conditions for skills/feats/abilities, etc. I am going to rely heavily on trust and assume you know what you're doing and what you've put together is done honestly. This section isn't a place to "air laundry" or give anyone more opportunity to nit-pick a build. It's just a handy resource for me to keep track of what's going on and why.

 

Include a sheet preview here, the code looks like this: [nsheet]your character's sheet number[/nsheet]

This necessitates you use RPGx's in house character sheet profiler; no quarter for Myth-Weaver heathens. I also use the attribute summary, so keep your sheet current.

Keep it in a spoilerbutton, as it makes scrolling the thread easier.

Biographical Information Name: Elaenia Carren Race: Human Gender: Female Class: Sorceress Bio-metrics: Petite, green eyes, medium-length dark hair, tanned/olive complexion, high cheek-bones, narrow chin.

Background Elaenia has deep connections to Bridgetown. Her grandmother was a local nymph, and the descendants see themselves as stewards of the land and liaisons between the human wold and the fey - or just a bit odd, depending on your perspective. Her father is a merchant. El finds herself somewhere between her parents - both well integrated with the gig-economy of Bridgetown and also very aware of the impacts of people and development on "her" land. She makes ends meet by foraging specialty materials from the local wilderness (which she trades with locals or sells at market) and gig-work like bar-tending and waiting.

Personality El is quick to humor and loves to laugh - at others, herself, or the world - and has been known to create occasions for laughter from time to time with a barbed-witticism or practical joke. She is typically understanding and forgiving, but repeated or severe transgressions may earn someone a permanent blacklisting. While she takes a certain impish delight in being the center of attention, it is not a state she strives actively for. She loves a good haggle at the trading table, and is a happy flirt when serving booze, but she feels the most resonance with her authentic-self when in the wilderness.

 

Unbuffed, no tricks up my sleeve at the moment.

Biographical Information Ulfar Arjax Race: Dwarf Gender: Male Class: Warpriest of Myketa Bio-metrics: 4'2", 185 lbs., brown eyes, brown moehawk, prominent nose, muscular tan skin from day labor

Background   Ulfar and his son Derdric moved to Bridgeport about thirty years ago, just after the "Heroes of Cambridge" succeeded in unraveling the plot to manipulate the King of Kingseat. Derdric tells people that this is because his father, Ulfar, was one of the Heroes who decided to live a more peaceful life after these incidents. However, anyone who knows Derdric also knows that these are just exaggerations of a young dwarf who wants to believe that his father was a mighty warrior. And anyone who knows Ulfar knows that the only reason Ulfar allows his son to persist in spreading such rumors is because Ulfar is a doting, insecure father who desperately wants his son to love him. Besides, the truth is not really something Ulfar wants to talk about... Ulfar used to serve the Defender's Church of Myketa during those dark times. When he first joined, the Defender's Church had a warm feeling of community and camaraderie. It was unusual for the clergy of Myketa to form a group which gathered in a single place often, but the Defender's Church had a noble vision of itself as a group devoted to defending the meek. However, as King Nichol's reign began to change, so to did the Defender's Church of Myketa. Corruption seeped into the Church; more and more, the Defender's began to barter their services for profits at the misfortune of others. Worse yet, the very same "community" and sense of brotherhood was used to silence those who would speak out against the corruption. During the peak of the Kingseat's corruption, the Defender's Church was basically a legalized gang of thugs who did the dirty deeds of whoever was willing to pay them well. Ulfar was involved in some of the more ruthless and unenviable jobs, from "acquiring" tithes to "punishing" political adversaries. There is blood on his hands, and he is not proud of it. Ulfar had joined the Church to protect the innocent, but he ended up staying with the Church to protect his family. His wife, Elgra, was pregnant and Ulfar was determined to provide for his family, regardless of the consequences. Politics were not Ulfar's strong suit, but even he could understand that to refuse or disobey orders would have serious consequences for both him and his family. A young and naive dwarf, Ulfar convinced himself that if he just did as he was told, everything would turn out fine. Of course, they did not. When rumors began to circulate that the dwarves of the Creed of Iron had summoned the beast of the lake, people started to accuse any dwarf they saw of betrayal. Ulfar was no exception, especially because he had developed a bad reputation for carrying out the corrupt deeds of the Defender's Church. It didn't matter that he was not the leader of the Church, he was the one who had done the deeds. Thus, it was easy for people to believe that Ulfar and his family had evil in their hearts. One day, Ulfar returned from work and found that a group of angry citizens had set his home ablaze. Elgra was still inside with their babe, Derdric. In a rage, Ulfar managed to chase off the instigators. He rushed into the burning house to save his family only to find his wife curled over his son, bruised, battered, and on the verge of death. Elgra urged him to live on and to take care of their child. It took every ounce of willpower for Ulfar to fight his instinct to go rampaging through the city for revenge. Knowing that he would likely be blamed for the fire, Ulfar fled with his son, in search of a place where they might live a life free from suffering. That place was Bridgeport. Here, Ulfar started his life anew, devoting his life to being a simple tradesman and a good father. He left his past behind him. The only evidence of his past life that remains is the pendant around his neck which contains a small portrait of his family and a chest in a dark closet which hides his old garments, weapons, and armor. For the now young boy, Derdric, this chest is evidence that his father was once a hero. For Ulfar, this chest is a relic of a past that he'd rather left forgotten...

Personality & Description   Dressed in loose cotton clothing, Ulfar Arjax clearly has the build of a carpenter: burly and muscular with the calloused hands of someone who performs daily manual labor. Sturdy, strong, and hard-working, it is unsurprising that he was quickly picked up by Bridgetown's maintenance crew to help maintain the city's trade roads--and most importantly, the does it have a specific name?Glaslis Bridge. Like most dwarves, Ulfar's personality is a little rough around the edges, but though he is serious at work, he is a proud and beaming father at home. The mere mention of his son, Derdric, will start him off on a tirade of stories that causes even the most loving grandmother to politely excuse herself. Ulfar keeps his beard untrimmed and his hair in a short, disheveled mowhawk. He is told that if he cleaned his image up, that his beautiful, dark-brown eyes would be accentuated. However, these comments tend to come from the same people who tell him that he ought to find a wife to help him take care of Derdric. So of course, these are the kind of comments that Ulfar dismisses outright. Ulfar is a stubborn dwarf, and feels that finding another partner--even if it is for practical reasons--would be like cheating on his first wife.

Application Name: Darshee Wynren Race: Elven Gender: Female Class: Sorcerer (Phoenix Sorcerer Bloodline) Mechanical Role/Purpose: Arcane support w/some martial assistance Description: Darshee is not the most comfortable in social situations. She likes to lurk along the fringes of society. When the woman travels she carries a longbow and longsword but wears no visible armor. She is tall and thin with platinum hair and beautiful cerulean eyes. Backstory: It was about ten years ago when Darshee first came to Bridgetown for the festival. She liked the place so much that she stayed for a time. After the first year had passed Darshee decided that she'd stay another, then another and another until it was ten. The elven woman spent many days out in the nearby woods gathering materials to make her baskets. He mother had taught her to make baskets from grasses and tree barks and other materials. Her baskets were mostly utilitarian but they had a very pleasing ascetic appeal as well. She sold her baskets to the locals and the tourists alike. It wasn't enough coin to retire on just yet but it was usually enough to meet her basic needs. Darshee made friends with several of the locals in Bridgetown, but what kept her there for the last ten years was several orphan street kids. When she isn't helping care for the kids Darshee spends much of her time alone in the local forest. Darshee makes an effort to be social, but it is often just that, an effort. In the ten years Darshee has lived in Bridgetown, only a handful of people know of her sorcerers powers. Most of those are grown children she had helped along their way. Your personal Pathfinder and RPGx experience: Extensive on both counts.

Biographical Information Name: Liliane “Lily” Greenwell Race: Half-elf Gender: female Age: 23 Class: Slayer, Deputy Constable of Bridgetown Bio-metrics: Petite, long silver hair, slight lavender hue to skin, mixed leather/metal armor

Background Liliane was originally an orphan found wandering the streets of Bridgetown over twenty years ago during the mid-summer festival. She has been raised by a family of gnomes ever since. The half-elf holds an ever decreasing amount of hope that one of her parents will return to the festival and recognize her. Lily had no interest in taking up the craft of tinkering like her adoptive family, but instead showed an affinity for people watching. Constable Geraint employed Lily as a deputy three years ago for the mid-summer festival to help find counterfeit coins. She proved herself by finding nearly one hundred coins. The following year she broke up a counterfeit spell stall. Since then she has been employed full time as a deputy of the law in Bridgetown.

Personality Lily seems to be a bit of a contradiction when you first meet her. Quiet as a mouse and reserved when people watching she becomes loud and animated once she gets talking. With people she knows she can be overwhelming with her chatter and quick smile. She knows she can be a bit much for some and will settled down if told to do so. When it comes to work Lily is quite serious and focuses on the task at hand. Be it trailing a pick pocket or looking for fake items in the market, not much gets past her. She is always willing to help the residents of Bridgetown as they have given her a home when she didn’t have one.
