S@squ@tch's N1: Against the Cult of the Reptile God (Recruiting Closed)

[scranford]

If you're still recruiting, I'd like a chance to play a bloodthirsty, cursing, screaming nasty attitude mercernary fighter. Has seen one (or two) too many battles, and now istn't happy unless slinging his sword; or Axe; or Maul;.... Maybe a dual class barbarian / fighter, as I see offense being his forte. More Blood! More Blood!

Gideon wandered through the haze of the battlefield, the banner for his company "The Snow Ravens" worn like a cape to shield him from the biting cold. Blood steamed from a thousand tiny, and not so tiny cuts, and he barely had the energy to lift his gore splattered Maul from the Mud of the battlefield. Dead, all dead. From young Angus, to Sgt Matters ripped from life and lying cold and lifeless at his feet. Grimald won't need that fine dagger where he's going, and I always did like that helmet with the triple snarling wolves emblazoned on the side that Sledge took off that haughty hobgoblin warchief. My time is coming soon or later, and soon I'll join them with my pale lifeless eyes staring up at the sky. But not yet. Need to stitch up that lip; can't hold in the drool with it torn like that. Where's patches and his medical kit. Guess I'll have to do it myself. What I need to do is find a nice village to settle down for a while and heal. Then onward to seek my own mortality. What was the name of that town that Bellows mentioned he had a cousin in...Orlane yeah that was it. I guess if I just head south, I'll either run into it or find someone whom knows where it is. Ah, there is Patches bald head, and a bit of luck for a change he has his healing kit still.

Human Barbarian 1 / Fighter 1

Ari left his homeland in Celene seeking simpler things. His penchant for fire magic always interfered with his ability to gain respect among elves, yet he found that humans and other "lesser races" respected this power as he felt it should be respected. He has flitted about between adventuring parties, never content to stay in one place for long, never cooperating well enough, but he has finally overcome some of his youthful imprudence and decided it is time to take his life seriously before it ends. Hence, he has taken up with a new group, vowing this time not to let his temper get the better of him and to prove his worth to the team.

I'll give this post until Sunday and pick the 5.

I like all of the entries so far -- thanks a lot!

I am almost done with the nuts and bolts and his history. I don't want to write too much, as he is still a relative novice priest, but I wanted to get something up to show progress was being made.

I found this pic on the internet, so hopefully the artist doesn't mind me using it for the game. His/her work was amazing with dwarves, so I went with this one showing the axe and spell aspects of Krager.

[sblock=Appearance and Personality] Krager is broad shouldered, heavily muscled, with a shaved head and a pair of predatory emerald eyes. Multiple piercings cover his face, from his eyebrows to his lips. A thin scar starts just below his right eye and curves to his chin. His armor is well worn, but serviceable, and the greataxe he carries at his side, with Hanseath’s symbol is etched on the heads, is obviously a masterfully crafted blade. Around his neck, he wears a silver medallion of Hanseath, but if anyone was able to examine it, they would be able to see the many small dents and scratches it has accumulated since Krager first had it placed around his neck.

While many priests preach about the wonders of their faith, Krager believes that the best sermons are delivered through action. As such, he does not mix words and he speaks his mind freely and bluntly. While he has been known to ruffle a few feathers among the other good clergymen he has encountered, especially those who have a less aggressive mindset than he does, none can argue that the paths he travels aren’t a little more interesting when he is around.

Although his family will never admit, they are disappointed that Krager did not follow in his father and grandfather’s footsteps of serving in the ranks of the All Father’s priests; neither will they admit that their son is doing the right thing in their opinion by spending his days and nights brawling and carousing in the name of Hanseath.[/sblock]

Hi! Little late, but I'd like to throw in someone. Let's see...what can I do that no one else is?...

Aha!

Tranis Brell, CN Human Warlock

[sblock=background]
Tranis Brell is an outcast from society due to the pact his ancestor, whose name is widely considered unspeakable, made with one of the Aboleth Elder Evils. Intitially, he believed his gifts a curse, until confronted by a mob of torch-wielding villagers. He managed to call upon his dark powers to escape the mob, but feels guilty about the death toll to this day. He once tried to quash his hideous magicks, but no more could quash the power then cut off his own feet. So he has wielded his powers as he has felt fit, trying to redeem his good name and remove the abberant stain on his reputation forever.

[FreeXenon]

I am sorry. I had no idea this has started and that I have been accepted.
Cool!

It will take me a little bit to get caught up. I do not see myself on the map. I assume that I am there somewhere?

Could links be provided to the IC and RG threads. I think I have them or am I completely confused?
