Awesome sauce okay Charwoman Gene I have one other approval item for the character that I need to run by you. This character is mainly a Rogue due to life style of growing up (which will be evident with the backstory) and thus has never been associated with a Thieves Guild -- the previous GM allowed me to swap Thieves Cant for the Cantrip Prestidigitation because they agreed the character would not necessarily know Thieves Cant and Prestidigitation would be a good way to reflect that the character is a Wizard's Apprentice and therefore gives a smoother pathway for them to take Wizard upon obtaining 2nd Level. Would you be okay with that as well? Other than that he is a normal 1st level Rogue and will be a Wizard upon obtaining 2nd level (assuming the goblins do not eat him first 
)
Also Charwoman Gene where do you want me to post the full character? I am rather new to this site, although not at all new to PbP, so not sure where those get placed.
So EarlyBird now that we (our characters) know each other how do you think we met -- (readers digest version) Born a Deep Gnome in a Deep Gnome city, Zath'ras went on a raiding party in a Wizards tower in the mountains, The raiding party got zapped for trying to steal treasure, Zath'ras having got separated because he found the library and got lost in the books got caught trying to walk off with Wizard 101 book, Instead of killing him the Wizard offer him the chance to be an Apprentice, Zath'ras accepted and spent a lot of time doing menial tasks and stuff and then eventually learning the rudiments of being a Wizard (Background : Sage - Alchemist/Wizards Apprentice), the Wizard then sent his current apprentice on a mission to get some information and that leads us to where we are today. The full background is of course more colorful but that is it in a nutshell for perhaps figuring out how to mesh our characters. By they way had a thought my character is focused on Alchemy and if you wanted to be a better healer you could pick up Cooking and/or Herbalism proficiency both of those allow you to produce minor healing items Cooking allows you to make 1 hit point food items and herbalism lets you make the healing potion -- Cooking of course is the easier cheaper one and might be worth picking up first then Herbalism but if you do not want to take Cooking let me know an I will see if I can incorporate that into my character some how -- either that or I will pick up in-game later on because Cooking is similar to Alchemy well Brewing is more similar but you cannot make a drink that restores 1 hit point currently but maybe the GM would allow that -- use Brewing (like Cooking) to make little 1 Hit Point elixers (potions)
And hi there Thateous, Circle of Land is good what kind of background did you go with.

Maybe my character was contacted after your Master Wizard caught a disease of some sort. Other healers to scared to work on him and I needed more experience "in the field". When he heard this he hired me to accompany you on the first trek to help bring you back alive.
Needless to say my skills did the job or the lucky cure all herb I had actually. And now I have another exciting assignment.
I was thinking orator/poetic type bard. He inspires with big words and technical terms. Everyone thinking hey he's smart we may just get out of this yet.
Being captured by goblins sounds like it sucks, but maybe some heroes will come along. Until then he will study their behavior.

Okay granted my Mentor would be a Wizard but that does not mean he could not have a hand in your education as well (Hogwarts ). Perhaps you are one of his sons, or nephew or you simply came to him for instruction and guidance in using magic. I think if he were truly sick that a more high powered cleric would probably come to his aid so it would be best to focus on why a pre-1st level scholarly bard might come to him. Otherwise perhaps there is a town nearby and I met you at a tavern there or bookstore or some such on some of my trips there for my mentor
Yeah Zath'ras might not even view it as being a prisoner but a field trip and a chance to study the natural behavior patterns of the goblin race first hand

Sure I can be a nephew it matters little when in a dungeon. Can't call on Uncle Snape deep in the belly of the Sunless Citadel. Might come in for some good RP between adventures though, so anything is possible.
I will work on the mechanics of my character this afternoon, have them up before the end of the day.
