Black Spine, Red Blood: A Dark Sun 3.5 Campaign

[Keia]

Thanks for your help Paxus!!

Sounds good. I'll look through the psions tonite and see what I can come up with. Otherwise I'll just drop them, they weren't that important (mostly for story and ease). I'm going to rename some of the items to correspond to the spells or effects being used. I'll work in that tonite as well.

Hit points will be 80% of max, in partial compensation for your low EQ. Speech is is quotes, thoughts italicized, action in normal script, and OOC can be separated by parenthetical notes, by , or in a separate paragraph headed by OOC: If you wish to use color schemata, you may, so long as no two people use the same color.

Ooh, ooh, I call dibs on DeepSkyBlue for my OOC trash talking!

[Jarval]

Here's my character's background. I've left is a bit vague in places, as we've still not sorted out how our group got together. Also, what time period are we in? Is Tyr a free city yet?

Uden Askaar

Age: 31
Height: 10' 10"
Weight: 1,470 lb
Eyes: Light blue
Hair: Dark brown, currently bound back in a long tail. However, Uden sells his hair to rope makers at regular intervals, so its length varies.
Skin: Light tanned brown.


Appearance: While not the tallest of his race, Uden is certainly solidly built. He's quite fair-skinned for an Athasian, but tans rather than burns under the sun. He's always clad in what seems to be his only set of clothes, a rough leather vest studded with bone and stone rivets and a loose-fitting pair of blue trousers. It tends not to be his clothes that draw peoples attention to him, with the large club strapped across his back making a far more imposing statement than any outfit could...


Background: Uden had been wondering from city to city, taking employment where ever he could find it. However, given his kind nature (at least by Athasian standards) Uden almost always left each post a few weeks after obtaining it, his employers having a tendency to want him to hurt people he didn't think deserved it. This changed when he met Grykee. Uden took a liking to this small elf as soon as he saw her, and she quickly became his friend and traveling companion. Then the slavers came, and knocked him out. On waking, he found Grykee gone, and a trail leading off to the north. For weeks he followed the trail, hot anger at the evil people who would steal his friend brewing with each step. He caught up with the slaver's caravan one evening, and the damn holding back his rage burst. By the time he calmed down again, half the caravan had been reduced to splinters by his swatter, and the few surviving slavers had fled from the apparently insane half-giant. Grykee must have been really pleased to be rescued, because she started treating him better than any of his other friends ever had. Uden travels with her still, protecting her from any other evils that would try to hurt his friend.

Recently, Uden has meet with a band of travelers who seem to want to help others, like himself. Grykee seems rather grumpy about his new friends, but he has reassured her that her still likes her best. And now maybe they can do something really useful!


Personality: Uden is a simple soul. He expects the best from those he meets, and tends not to realize the repercussions of any orders he's given until after he's carried them out. Still, for all these flaws, he's loyal to a fault to those he considers his friends. And even the expanse of the Silt Sea will not stop Uden from evening the score with anyone who hurts a friend of his.

Oh, and I call dibs on sandy brown for Uden's dialogue

Here's my character's background. I've left is a bit vague in places, as we've still not sorted out how our group got together. Also, what time period are we in? Is Tyr a free city yet?

My intent is to put it in between the death of Kalak (and thus the freeing of Tyr) and the return of Rajaat; I've never been entirely satisfied at how Rajaat's return played out, and it gives a nice place to go once you've finished this mini-campaign.

 

[Keia]

I adjusted my character for items corrections and posted it in the rogue's gallery (basically I removed the quiver and haversack, purchased several other stones and a dorje). I believe she's ready to go.

All we need now is Jarval's character (with EQ), and we can begin.

 

[humble minion]

I'll take Sienna for Garak's dialogue.

Hey, he's an earth cleric. Gotta be something brown...

 

[Keia]

Light Blue for Arriha's speech, much for the same reason as Garak here.
