One of them could turn down going to Leed and suggest we find his character as he was looking for adventure/heading that way anyways, etc.

I'd be interested in tossing my hat in the ring if you'd have me. I'll probably need until Sunday night/Monday morning to get you a character though.
 

I will have anyone who can reasonably commit to not disappearing without at least sending a "sorry I can't participate any more" message. :)

The first post of the RG thread has the character creation rules. The links to the RG and IC threads are in the first post of this thread. And don't forget about the need to have a link to party. With Earlybird's entry at the same time, you could choose to know his character, Keth, or one of the existing PCs.

Here's what I have so far, everything is changeable as needed to help fit in.

[sblock=Background]
Whenever he's asked about his past Keth's face takes on a serious frown. Not sure if the whole story he was told was the truth he relays what he knows to be fact.

Left for dead as a newborn on the fringes of the Groaning Forest, he was lucky to be found by a group of hunters risking the dark forest. Why was he abandoned? What did he do to be cast out into the wilds only hours old? Keth had no answers to those questions, only a silent thank you to the gods above for sending the woodmen who found him crying naked in the cold.

They hailed from a homestead near Groaning, a small three family farm that tried to stay out of the politics of the world. A place to work, love, and grow old. Had Keth no orc blood in his veins he may have stayed and hunted and tilled until his hairs turned as gray as his skin.

It was the emblem of the Ten Swords that called to that blood. They passed through once every year, trading news, tobacco, and shells from the coast. Keth was enthralled by the arms and armor each mercenary carried and by the tales of battles and monster-slaying they told around the fire. When he became a man in the eyes of his adoptive family, it was with heavy hearts that they consented to his wishes to join the mercenary company.

It was during his time with the Ten Swords that he came across his older half-brother, but he talks little and frowns, saying his not sure what he learned from him was the whole-truth. Keth never blamed the man for the actions of their mother and they parted as friends.

He also met ___________ on his travels across the Old Empire and the two became a good team, having a few side adventures of their own. One of those adventures involved revealing a counterfeit scam being ran by the Ten Swords own quartermaster. It was Keth's bad luck to be the person caught using fake coin to try and purchase goods for the mercenary group. Kept in jail for three days the half-orc warrior found himself on his knees asking for help from The Family of the Tierden'Tor, more than trusting in the corrupted system of men. ___________ discovered the mint's location and proof of the quartermaster switching the real gold he was given for purchases with his fake currency. Together they brought the whole operation down and during the fight with the quartermaster and his devilish ally Keth was aided by the gods N'drovio and Essembri, taking his first steps on a new path.

Although found not guilty by the local officials, he was dismissed from the Ten Swords unjustly. Maybe this was the gods will, but he was unsure and needed answers, so he traveled to Bit with ________ seeking them. [/sblock]
 

Veit Ironfist is the best fit for that background. Check him out in the RG if you like. I like the Ten Swords.

You split up with Veit when you arrived in Bit so you could seek out your family at the inn they usually stay at during the festival. Veit said he would catch up with you there later. I'll work out how Veit trades places with you. You can write up about seeing your family again after being away for a while in the IC if you like. And then I'll tie it together with Everett and Perin heading out of town.

Will do. But are you talking about meeting his adoptive family who came in to enjoy the festival? Or his real mother who threw him away - (that will not be a nice meeting).

My schedule has been busier than I anticipated and I haven't had time to get a character for this game. I completely understand if you need to move on.
