Character Scratchpad
So I'm thinking either a Troll (or maybe jungle elf?) pirate of some kind, or a holy man (cleric/paladin/crusader type) with some invocation magic. The latter probably would be a human, but I haven't really nailed that down as of yet.
How bout you boys?

[quote="jimmy corrigan"]whee!
as i hmm'd in an earlier thread, i'm thinking satyr. maybe some sort of hunter or maybe even a noble or something.[/quote]
Just as a point of clarification, you can safely think of the satyrs as Native American Indians. So while there are hunters in abundance, actual "nobility" might be a little harder to swing (apart from the nobility of the noble savage, of course, who cries in one-tear increments).

My concept is a carousing knight from a good family in Brightmar. Brawny guy who's good with the sword and the ladies (he thinks).
Possible Aspect - "Let's visit yonder inn, hence to sample the ale and the wenches!"

Hey man, I'm slinging volume and fat stacking benjies, you know what I mean? I can't be all about spelling and shit!
From what I've read so far, I'm thinking of playing a Lowland Dwarf Artificer, or a young noble who is going or recently graduated from a military academy like West Point and thinks he is hot shit and needs to brought down a couple pegs to reality. That may change as I read on. This is a great setting BTW.

Perhaps one with a steam-powered crossbow and a suit of retractable armor?

This is a familiar concept, but a good one.

Now I'm kinda thinking of a 'trying very hard to be civilized' troll writer. He needs some adventure and excitement so he'll have something to write about. -- might fit a little better with the current mix of potential characters. Former scrivener, possibly raised by human godparents in Brightmar or something.

I half expect to read that Chris was playing a princess. Since that is still up for grabs....
Whenever I get confused about D&D alignment morality, I just imagine Abraham Lincoln and Mahatma Ghandi arm wrestling shirtless on the back of a killer whale.
In other words, I remember that it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense and deal with it best I can.

I'm not counting him out just yet. There's still time for him to swap out military academy for princess academy.

Heya fellas -- could you post your full character sheets in this (or a new) thread? You don't have to include your phases, I guess, but it'd be good.
It'd be good to have them all in one place to reference, not to mention a convenient backup in case of a forgotten sheet or a missing player.
Thanks!

No problem. I'd just like to have 'em before Friday.
Oh, also -- Nat wants me to make a character for him. Anyone have any ideas? And don't say "Old man." I don't want to typecast him.

We don't have any dwarves. I considered an artificer dwarf, but it was to close to my sundered skies character. It's be cool to see this settings version of that though. Also, did I get my sheet back from you after you copied the aspects down, because if not, shit! I did find a picture though.

Yeah, I was thinking of a dwarf artificer myself, actually. He'd be significantly less... er... "power-armored" than your Sundered Skies character. I have some new rules of Artifice that make use of story aspects so you can't just make infinite items in between adventures, and I'm curious to see how they'd work.

I don't seem to have it, but it's probably at Andy's.
