Call to the Four Lands - OCC

[Neurotic]

I'm combination of old Belarus (Rusini) from my father 's side and croatian-german from my mother side...such a smelting forge our Balcan

 

[Scott DeWar]

Belarus (Rusini) ? I am unfamiliar with that race of peoples. What can you tell me of them?

 

[Neurotic]

They are Belarus, but long time ago they traveled south to live in lowlands of Panonic sea (that's Danube river, most of Hungary, parts of Croatia and Serbia).

Here they live in villages as majority, but minority within country...after all centuries passed they are no longer Belarus, have their own culture and language (altough similiar to original one)...think Shakespearean to modern english...

They call themselves Rusini, as opposed to either Russian or Belarus.

That's all I know...I lived in the city and had fairly limited contact with father's kin. I can understand them, but cannot speak the language. And since my father dies (almost 20 years ago) I had essentialy no contact with them...

 

[Rhun]

My heritage is 25% Ukranian, 25% Scandinavian (I always say Scandinavian since I can't remember if it is Norse, Finnish or Swedish), and a 50% mix of Irish/Scottish/English/Danish etc. My mom is great at doing genealogy.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

I'm mainly of Irish and Native American descent, but I've got my fair share of Scandinavian, English and German as well.

 

[Kagehiro]

15% Ashkenazi Jew from my mother's side which according to halachic law of inheritance makes me 100% Jewish, I'm 70% French Creole/Blackfoot Indian, and 15% Italian mainlander (no Sicilian blood baby!).

So I identify with the Ashkenazi side most being that my Great Grandmother was a Holocaust survivor.

Basically I love wine and vodka like crazy.

Short return to the game(s):
Edward Thornrose in Divine Avengers is untrained in spot (it's cross class for duskblade) so feel free to roll for him

[sblock=Question for DM]
While looking for some magic items for marshal in the game you mentioned I spoted a rule that gives more XP to characters of lower level then the party. It would give around 4 000 XP more to Vorian (didn't do exact calculation, but I'm good at math) in Great North (not counting those 'patience' awards just real story XP). Since he's two levels behind may I take that extra XP - with precise math for your inspeciton? I don'0t think it will make me an extra level, but it would only mean increase in HP/skills/saves, it's an empty level class wise...

Neurotic - sounds fine

 

[Scott DeWar]

J Alexander: just shot you a pm

Neurotic: so Rusini is not the same as Russian? any relation to those known as the original Europian gypsies?

Kagehero:

15% Ashkenazi Jew from my mother's side
