Aww, I liked her

Thanks I like rose too. Buffy was a sort of gentle giant type. But I dont think this game is meant for "gentle" types.

Surge is a similar beast that fits better and brings a bit more to the table.

You'd be surprised where an odd fit can lead a story. My first 4e character was a rogue undermining a region to set up a criminal underground (evil campaign, but not 'blarg i eat babies!' evil), started some peasant revolts as a distraction (I still remember getting up and pacing around my room as I gave an incendiary speech over Skype as my character jumped up onto a tavern table), found he cared more about the people he'd inspired than the Mastermind paying his tabs. When our group turned on him I took the town as my territory, became more of a mayor than a monarch.

I ended up writing a bit more with the character afterwards, went kinda redemption story with it, even became a sort of paladin (chaotic good version, liberty over laws) with a fey moon corgi as my mount and moral minder.

But yeah, you do probably have a better grasp on your own character than I do from a bio, and Surge is well written and if we're chosen I look forward to working with ya

I have had some time on my hands so I have yet another alternate application. I still love Surge but this idea came to me and I wanted to share it. He kind of reminds me of a former Jedi and I would be happy to play him if he fits better.

introduction Ratt (Rowan Whitecandle) (sheet) Race: Human Class: Cleric (Arcana) Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Background: Harper Agent Appearance: Rowan or "Ratt" as he is called these days is a filthy vagabond. He is somewhat tall and very lean, as if he hasn't eaten for some time. Ratt wears a dirty travelers outfit under a long coat, well tailored but worn. A harpers pin is attached to his lapel and a chain around his neck with the emblem of Mystra. His only other possessions are a dusty backpack and a rune-carved staff. Personality: Rowan is an angry drunk, mad at the world that forsake him. He is uncouth and uncaring but there is a hint of some former class. He was once a good person fighting for what he thought was right. These days however he is consumed by self pity. Mostly he just wants another drink or some coin. Backstory: Long ago Rowan was a respected member of the church of Mystra. A Harper agent and something of a legend. He and his comrades fought to recover and protect historical artifacts. Framed as a thief by one of his superiors Rowan has been disgraced. He has spent the last few years as a gutter-rat and sell-sword unable to muster the resolve to clear his name.

Interested and have something brewing. Could someone link me to the post where the group meet the pirates, or can explain what these pirates are like?

My thought trail at the moment is a Barbarian (1)/Moon Druid (4) dwarf. Tanky tanky and spells for healing. Brief backstory; the dwarf is somewhat ferral having been abandoned in a forest. And if it fits, is being held prisoner/servant/cruel amusent for the pirates.

[Drachenspirit]

Well, I don't recall if the ship they rode on was ran by pirates or not, but here's where that happened: https://www.rpgcrossing.com/showthread.php?t=198279
Also, a few posts back on the 7th, it mentions that the deadline is today, and in just over an hour. If you can get something in before then, it will be considered. Good luck!

[JohnStone]

I am still finalizing a few details (spells, items) but Ratt's sheet is up to date. A fairly hardy up front melee cleric with elemental flair and of course all the healing support of a full cleric.

The first app will suffice Treble83.

After reviewing and consulting with the current players, the following are invited to join the current trio of miscreants as they keep working to improve their means and make their way in the Realm.

- Treble83's Rogue/Cleric, Remy Haystack, and

- Noltelix's Rogue/Fighter, Sagda Vohr


Thanks for everyone for applying and good luck in any future games you may apply to.

Application window closed - game is full up.

Gratz to you two. I'll probably be lurking now and then to keep reading

[JohnStone]

Gratz and good luck.
