[SmashGoblin]

Here's the backstory Idun (BeerCrusher) made: [sblock= Click] Idun and Lana met early on and quickly got along well; an off-hand comment about teaching Lana to read became a source of countless jokes between the two. Although Idun continued to teach the younglings of the tribe to read and invited Lana at every opportunity, Lana would constantly find ways to evade the question and instead drag Idun off to some new, exciting distraction. Every time Idun would start a religious discussion, Lana would find an equally exciting story to tell of her spirits, and the two found themselves spending many late nights just exchanging stories until all the religious stories were spent. And so Idun began to talk of home and the world that she knew, all the differences, both good and bad, from the tribal life Lana had known her entire life.

Needless to say, the stories captivated Lana and the two grew ever closer, with Idun beginning to come along on a few of the caravan escorts to talk with Lana under the guise of expanding the potential converts. One particularly entertaining night lead to a hasty promise to see the world together; a promise both intended to keep, and saw the opportunity for when a caravan sought to reach further than the tribes. They have since ventured together from caravan to caravan, and find themselves taking on a new job.. one which may just bring more surprises than all the others combined[/sblock]

 

[Random Bystander]

I've personally never been a fan of the number crunching side of things. I just set those ability scores because it was quick, easy, and fit what I had in mind well enough. The games I've played have mostly been nearly pure roleplay, with the sheets just being paperwork in the background and not something that defines the character's personality or quirks. What I had in mind was not so much a typical cleric, but something that would fit in with SmashGoblin's barbarian; we haven't quite sorted it out yet, but the two main ideas I had in mind was either a low-ranking, uncharismatic apprentice who got stuck with the rather prestige-less job of spreading the faith to a nomadic tribe because she'd proven inept in a more civilized setting, or an aide to the nomadic tribe's wise woman, sent out to assist SmashGoblin on her travels. Name obviously pending.

You didn't really answer if the new ability scores were a-okay? It'll just take a few minutes to re-arrange all the numbers either way, and we've still got to work out the last of SmashGoblin's paperwork and our shared backgrounds.

[sblock="Idun Papel background"]Idun had shown much promise in her earlier years, and had often been praised for being wise beyond her years. It came as little surprise to most who knew her, then, that she drew the attention of a local temple ward at a young age, bringing a sense of pride to both her and her parents. By the age of eighteen, however, it had become dreadfully clear that she did not live up to the potential others had seen in her; though she sought to apply herself and followed the teachings as best she could, her knowledge of the scriptures was severely lacking for one who had studied them for so long. The priests acknowledged her dedication and good-natured spirit, but, growing increasingly frustrated with her inability to keep track of even the most fundamental passages in the holy texts, had little confidence in her as she was sent on the final part of her education. Two years as an apprentice under a stern, dwarven high priest, some two hundred miles from her hometown.

Or rather, it should have been two years. In three short weeks, Idun had managed to inadvertently insult the local lord in public, make fun of High Priest Tormac's stature, and alienate herself from just about half the acolytes in the local chapter. It didn't take long for her to be sent on some trivial task, as far away as possible, yet she tackled the task with gusto and failed to realize for many months the punishment intended by the task. Instead, over the following years she came to enjoy the company of the nomadic tribe she was originally sent to convert, growing rather enamored with especially the children and Lana, a young, adventerous tribeswoman. Many nights of storytelling around the campfire and a hasty, but earnest, promise later, Idun found herself travelling with the curious warrior, bent on showing her what else the world had in store. And perhaps, one day, finally managing to convert even one person.

I'll probably change a few tid-bits around before we start, but that's 90% what I had in mind for me. SmashGoblin we're still sorting out, but probably done in not too long.

Ah; apologies. When I see ability scores that are either as high or as low as possible, role-playing reasons are far from the first thing to enter my mind. I am, perhaps, too used to encountering munchkins in online games. In that case, an 8 Charisma does fit...Er, not to be too much of a hassle, hopefully. Anyway, your character sheet with final ability scores is accepted. You can drop your Charisma to 8 if you want; you have presented good, valid reasons, and it does seem to be a focus of your character as a cleric.

BACKGROUND
A carpenter in a township near Neverwinter, Kel was happy enough plying his trade and minding his own business. But at the new Lord came in with his new taxes and harsh laws, he noticed his beloved town become a place of fear. A commity was formed to treat with the lord but they were imprisoned. Organising a few of the townsfolk, Kel managed to sneak into the keep and arm the people who rose up against the Lord. But despite being forced from the town, the Lords memory was long and he has been trying to kill Kel for the last year.

Currently on the run from his Lord, he seeks annonimity as a caravan guard.

Pale and fair like most of his race, Kelstands just over 5'5" feet tall with a thin frame. His blond hair is cropped close and his beard is closely trimmed but not styled.

Accepted as-is.
