Flaws: I'll never fully trust any one other than myself.

"Poltergeist" effects happen around me when I'm under stress. (see prestidigitation, first two bullets only. The effects are harmless, are under GM control, and will abate once he gets any magic training, as they are manifestations of his magical potential activating due to trauma.)​

Background
Jordy worked at a tavern, clearing tables, washing dishes, and cleaning the privies. One night, vampires attacked the tavern. Jordy watched from behind the bar as the creatures sucked the life from servers and patrons alike, including his mother and sister. When a vampire grabbed him and he felt the thing's fangs on his neck, Jordy know that he was dead, and he fainted. When he recovered, the tavern was on fire, and the vampires were nowhere to be seen.
Jordy suffers from nightmares in which he is tormented by spirits (many in the forms of Aberrations) speaking an unknown language (Deep Speech, which he will recogize if he encounters it while awake), which he somehow understands. [/sblock]

Did you forget ability scores?

 

[jonathonhawke]

Just forgot a closing tag, thanks for catching that.

 

[jmucchiello]

I'm wondering if XP should be -100/0 instead of 0/300.

 

[jonathonhawke]

I think he's using milestone advancement rather than experience, so...

 

[tglassy]

Yep. Milestone. Basically, a year at the academy gives you a level. Don't worry, years will pass quickly, at least for the first few.

If there is still room alow me to introduce...

Zilzivar Kivrippliss Seodoireacht the 3rd son of Kanzum Fricomems Seodoireacht. The Seodoireacht family is an up and coming mercantile family making a name for themselves making trinkets, jewelry and work inlaying gems into precious metal decorations.

The Patriarch of the family has decided that in order for their family to move further up the social ladder and gain the name recognition to make pieces for clients that can truly bring the family name to the forefront is for his Sons to be Academy trained. His two oldest sons being too busy at the moment with contracts and already too important to the business to be gone for long means that Zilzivar will represent the family at the academy.

Zilzivar is passionate about his work. The truth of it is that he loves the sparkle and beauty of the products that he produces. His brothers Bozutras Vuh and Nizzeenzix Honsives (Boz and Niz for short) get along well with him, Boz being the consumate salesman arranged a deal with a local Dwarven mine to get the families supply of gems, and Niz is an excellent craftsman. Anything not worthy of the family name simply is not acceptable.

The 0/300 was on your character sheet. So I was just joking about it.

 

[tglassy]

Ok! I'm going to try to get this going. First up, I'll be putting up the Roster thread, hopefully by tonight. I'd like everyone to post there for the usual reasons. Just copy paste from this thread. Everyone's characters look good.

Time frame is typical fantasy medieval, very classic DND. I've done a lot of stuff with adding high tech and industrial age stuff in my games, but for this one, I'm going for a very Hogwarts feel. Magic is rare outside the Academy, but overblown inside the academy, so remember that for your characters.

I'm going to start you all at a port, waiting to take a ship to the Academy. I'm also going to come up with a real name for the Academy. The beginning will be RP heavy, cause your characters aren't trained for combat. Not to say there won't be surprises, but just giving you a heads up.

I'll probably try to post only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but I might do the random post during the week depending on what's going on.

 

[tglassy]

And the Roster thread is up.

And yeah, I changed the name of this thread, cause I figured this could just be the OOC thread. I'll see about getting the first posts up here pretty quick!
