OOC: Tales From The Old Bald One-Eyed Salty Red Dog Tavern!

[Hypersmurf]

So folks, if B.O. doesn't mind, and you're having a bit o' trouble coming up with character ideas, take a peek at his spoiler block above for some ideas (don't steal his, of course. Hopefully it'll get your creative juices flowing).

His first idea has a wonderfully Pratchettian feel to it.

His third idea... well...

[sblock]Since I'm playing a dwarven barbarian/bard poet in one of his games at the moment, I've got a horrible feeling that my poems aren't properly appreciated! [/sblock]

Anyway, here's my offering:

[sblock]Grey the Indecisive
A human Rog1/Clr1/Brd1, with multiple personalities.

The cleric doesn't realise he's a bard. The bard doesn't know he's a rogue. The rogue knows about the other two, but doesn't like to let them out, since they always spoil his fun...

And just to confuse everyone else, the cleric and the bard both look completely different, since they subconsciously use the Hat of Disguise to look they way they think they look. And naturally, they go by their own names...[/sblock]

I hope you don't mind any Douglas Adams inspired comedy... wacky brits.

Here's my character background anyways:

[sblock]

Gnogish grew up in an entirely unimportant village in the middle of the most staggeringly boring tracts of pastoral landscape that are often seen in those sort of washed paintings that rich people like to hang in their homes and make all sorts of comments towards while sipping wine and chatting vigorously to people they didn’t care to know. Seeing as this quite remote and uneventful town was where Gnogish was to spend his rather long childhood (longer than most gnomes – his mother was quite protective) he decided to make the most fun of the situation and introduce some ‘events’ into the quite thorp. Needless to say, the fires were quite frowned upon, even more so than the whole-goat milk incident (one would think that whole milk would utilize the entire beast). The town issued a very stern plea never to return by the town, Gnogish gathered what he could (including his whole milk) and set out to discover more eventful circumstances. Sadly, being raised in such a place, he had no real life skills and was quickly reduced to savagery in the cool, slightly damp, and not entirely un-harsh climate of the pastoral countryside. Sustaining himself on small woodland creatures (often his knack with speaking with these animals would go off at entirely the wrong time) and various shrubs, he managed to eke out an existence as he slowly learned the ways of the world.

Becoming bored with the quite repetitive trials of making shelter, finding food and staying safe, he has decided to return to society to find something more fulfilling and hopefully more interesting.

I'm interested in playing i'll think of some ideas in a little bit......

Here we go

[sblock]A Dwarven Druid with Agrizoophobia or Fear of Wild Animals who would probably have to make a will save every time he spotted even the simplest of animals such as a rabbit, his mission in life is to reveal the secret to the oblivious people in the lands[/sblock]

 

[DrZombie]

[sblock] Buaahahahaaa. Lawfull neutral female cleric of Wee Jas. A bit of healing, a bit of raising the dead. Nothing evil, but nothing good (for free) either. No. Make that a sorceress or a wizard, specialised in necromancy. Not evil, but callous and a bit disturbing.

And if there's allready fifteen spellcasters in the party, I'll play a half-orc paladin . Ugly as sin, rough, uncompromising, honest but blunt, and not afraid to whet his sword, nudge-nudge winkle-winkle. Euuhm, well, not in the nudge-nudge sense really.[/sblock]

Oh and heres my background

[sblock]Born from a druid, raised by druids,i grew up to be quite the looker with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes with a greenish hue weighing about 245lbs and grew to be as tall as 4' 2", i was determined to become the best druid in all druidism so, at the age of 72, i set out early one morning from my clan to show them my awesome might in the magic of nature oblivious of what was about to happen. While traveling through the forest tree by tree i spotted the strangest animal that i had ever seen, also by the fact that this was the first time i had ever stepped foot out of the village, i pursued it with great determination to find out what in the nine hells it was. Thats when it hit me, it was tempting me toying with my head, somehow someway it knew i was following it so it drew me farther and farther from my land to perform some outraegeous ritual upon my soul. "Just look at it plotting" i told myself "i'll show that thing whos boss with its white coat and long ears, and those espeacially funny looking buck teeth, i'll show him what for." I prepared my spells so that i could talk to the thing and insult him in any way "your a vile dumbo-nothing wretch" i told it and it just stared at me like i was insane, those eyes THOSE HORRID BEADY EEEYES!!! "Back demon I know what you and your friends are up to and i shall forewarn everyone about the truth of you and your "little" friends SECRET plans for domination. So off i ran back into the village telling everything i had learned about forest critters "secret" plot, this unfortunately got me disowned by my family and eventually kicked out of the clan, but till this day do i still warn any sucker to whom have been tricked by these "creatures" of the forest and when ever my authority is question and my name is asked i answer with a simple reply "some people call me.........Tim"[/sblock]

His third idea... well...

[LITTLE WHITE LIE]I swear, that idea has absolutely nothing to do with your character in my game ... [/LITTLE WHITE LIE]

I do love your recent poem, that isn't a lie. And he does have more than a 6 Cha.

Thanks for the kudos! You have my permission. You know, seeing my screen name abbreviated makes me think I should have thought a little longer before picking it.
