[sblock=Background in Brief]Charn Windrost was born in Thunderstone and spent the majority of his life in and around the mining town. His family has been part of the town's mining tradition for generations. It was expected that Charn would join his father, uncles, and brothers in the mines, but the boy took a different path. Early in his adolescence, Charn began spending a lot of time in the mountains. He loved to climb the craggy rocks and watch the sun rise over the mountain. Charn spent so much time in the mountains that he started to feel more at home outdoors than in town. By the time Charn reached the age of maturity, he declared that he would not become a miner. Instead, Charn would work on the mountain, helping travelers as a guide or aiding hunters attacked by evil humanoids or beasts. Though the Windrost family could not understand their son's affinity for the mountain, they felt a certain sense of pride when they boy would shepherd yet another lost soul back to Thunderstone or save another hunter from a pack of goblins.[/sblock]

Murmock

Murmock was an odd dwarf. He didn't like the montains at all, and often wandered off into the swamps nearby, to play with the frogs and toads of the swamps, and ocacionally, with the groove of bullywugs that inhabited the swamps. Oddly enough, the tribal frogmen didn't consider Murmock an intruder. His fascination with it, led to his father outcasting him from the clan. With no where to go, Murmock asked for shelter in the bullywug village. There, he made friends with the local druid, an eldery bullywug named Cockrack.
Cockrack took Murmock under his wing, and showed him the wanders of nature and the gifts it offered to the ones patient enough to look. After years of contemplation, Murmock became a full druid himself.
Murmock worked to forge a bond of friendship between his homeland and his adoptive people, and finally succeeded, and the dwarves and bullywugs signed a treaty of alliance and trade. Now at the service of the alliance council, Murmock is sent to the town of Thunderstone to investigate, for one side, the possibilities of mine exploration, and for the other side, to see what was perturbating nature, around Elber’s Tomb.

[Charwoman Gene]

I still can't access the house rules section. But I can see just about everything else. Would a dragonborn or tiefling warlord be acceptable? If so, I'll start work on my character.

*grumble* the one thing I don't copy onto en world...

Everyone but Deva have access to martial.

 

[airwalkrr]

Here is a rough draft for my character. Still can't see the house rules, but will make adjustments as needed.

Rhogar Drakebane is a captain of the militia in the town of Thunderstone. He makes a humble living as a journeyman blacksmith when he isn't drilling with the militia to defend the town in case of attack. Although he is not a career military man, he has an uncanny knack for all matters military and prodigious skills in leadership. He also has a certain sense of destiny. Something happened to him at the age of 5 that changed his outlook on life greatly. He often refers to this as his "awakening." Raised in poverty with no family ties, he had to earn respect and position as he grew up. Because of his natural talent, strength, and wits, he has often been mistaken for a much older person, but is quite young at the age of 15. His scales are a shimmering silver color and he has a powerful athletic build. His color is Light Blue.

As I see the controller role not much represented, here's my dwarven druid.
...

Hi, I'm the other controller

[Shayuri]

Hmm...no feedback on my concept proposal...

Was it merely missed, or are you trying to think of a way to say no strongly enough?

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Okay, The Following are Definitely in. You all voted for this campaign, and your characters don't make me cry, and conveniently, you cover 4 roles.

WD Human Mage
Insight Human Warden
Rolyat HO Monk
Airwalker DB Warlord

I wanted 6 people. I have 8.
I'm closing recruiting to anyone else now, and I will post later about how I am apportioning the other spots. (I am considering just opening it up to 8, but seeing as how I am not sure everyone's concept flies with me I really have to think.)

 

[tiornys]

Updated my initial post with a character sketch and mini-build, since we've had several builds popping up ...edit: Now a full build and a thinly fleshed out character.

edit: this should have a side benefit of making it easier for Charwoman Gene to decide whether she he likes my concept....

 

[Walking Dad]

Thanks for taking me!

I added a picture and background to my sheet.
