Added my gaming set. Don't know how I missed thrives tools but added them to my equipment. Still need to come up with a trophy. That will come as I work out my background.

Think my character will be from Waterdeep. Probably served in the City Guard.

There is the Vintners', Distillers', & Brewers' Guild out of Waterdeep? "Lightning in a Bottle" seems like it would be something with a kick so I will go with moonshining.

I started with the explorer's pack, and then I began selling things back (at half-price, per the book) to reduce weight carried (Also why I'm wearing Leather instead of Scale). I was going to have the trophy be a part of his clothing (like a coonskin cap), and then forgot to do it. [EDIT: I added a wolfskin cloak to my traveler's clothing]
The woodcarver's tools are only 1 gp...

Last character review then I will start suggesting some hooks to see if/how PC may be related.

Whoops! Forgot about Winged! I’ve updated it. Take a look and I’ll replace what’s in the RG. And I’ll work on my traits in a bit.

Would add fly 30' listed under speed then everything is good.

Cat like eyes and fangs, maybe whiskers like a cat?or is that to much?

 

[tglassy]

Whiskers are a bit much. Sword Coast Guide said fangs aAnd catlike eyes were an option, so I’m going with it.

Terry & Niklos could get their powers fromt he same Goddess - Eldath with little change to the characers themselves. Niklos could be from the far North where he learned his trade in a cavern glade with a sacred pool. Terry's druid mentor would be a follower of Eldath, and was instructed that with the coming troubles a soldier was needed to fight the war to come.

This all would be so they have a common bond when they meet. As to the trouble/hook...

A terrible threat gathers in the North. Throughout this region of the Forgotten Realms, savage marauders bring destruction. Monsters are on the prowl, preying on flocks, rampaging through croplands, and attacking homesteads and travelers. In settlements, discord and suspicion grow. Sinister strangers lurk in the shadows, whispering about how everything is soon to change. This year brought an unseasonably warm and stormy spring. Tales spread of flooding, windstorms, wildfires, and tremors.

Hook: Dark Omens
The signs and portents are clear: nature is out of balance. Terrible disater is drawing closer ith every passing day. Everything points to the cause somewhere in the Dessirn Valley, but as to what? who? or how? there is no clue yet. Red Larch will make a good staging base as all information in the North floats eventually through here.

So Niklos was "pulled" to Red Larch by a feeling of being needed there. And Terry could have been brought to the village by her mentor with instructions to help in the village where she can, and report any "oddities" to the Druid Circle.

When we start everyone will have been in town a tenday or less, so they are still the "new people".
_________________________________________________________

Oh before I forget again, jonathonhawke is reward one point of inspiration for his holiday themed character - great work
_________________________________________________________

Cyan is pretty easy. You want to set up your still and everything close to the trade routes so it can have the most exposure. From Red Larch it can go south to Amphial (where a lot of Waterdeep nobles have hunting lodges), and the Bargewright Inn to be served to people heaidng east where they can spread the word. North is Tribor, Yartar, Westbridge, and Beliard all important trade towns heading off in all compass points. So now it is just a matter of getting the equipment, finding a spot, and getting in good with the towns folk so you can start shipping out your wares.
Hook: there will be trouble in town and what better way to get in some good graces than to help, making the mooshine will probably be downtime activity
____________________________________________________

Talinthos, bit harder to figure why a elf goes assassin, but then you aren't an assassin yet so maybe we can RP into that. You could be from Silverymoon to the east where you served as assistant quatermaster during an orc horde invasion. During your service you found you like numbers and inventories over sword practice and marching. Some of your suppiles came from the town of Yartar, mostly foodstuff from outlying farmsteads. The contact was a thieves guild member (human) who recurited you, after the fighting was all done. When you thought your training was complete they sent you to Red Larch to await further instructions. Now you are in town and bored out your mind. Later they may call on you to "complete a job". Hook: Undercover: Working for the Hand of Yartar you have been given orders to wait in Red Larch until word is sent on your first assignment, what it will be you haven't any ideal.
_____________________________________________________

Captain Barakas, maybe the easiest of esay hooks, righto ut of the book. Hook: Shatterkeel's Trail - Months ago, Gar Shatterkeel destroyed the character’s ship by conjuring a powerful storm. Dozens of sailors died, and now the character intends revenge. Losing his whereabouts so far from the Sea of Storms until you heard of Gar's first mate being sighted in Red Larch, perhaps Jolliver Grimjaw knows where his old captain is.

OOC: All this is food for thought please use what you wish, add/subtract since this is role-playing nothing is really ever wrong, just needing a bit of tweaking is all.

 

[tglassy]

I like it. I’ll be easy.
