[/sblock][sblock=background] Ma’haretek is quite literally a monster of a man standing over six and a half feet tall, he tends to walk on his toes most of the time. Born a feral slave to his Yuan-ti masters, he was made the target of cruel magical experiments that left him in his current state. Seeing a chance to create a fearsome weapon out of him, the snake lords sent him to Thay as an assassin to wreak as much confusion and havoc as possible before he was killed. So he was taken half way around the world as a nasty surprise against the red wizards.

When the horrified thayyans saw the mindless beast casting spells as he rampaged through the center of the city, they new he must he destroyed, even as bloody red mist rose from the creature's thrashing limbs and body. Ma’haretek's haunting bellow echoed down the streets of fleeing townsfolk. He targeted anyone that dared to wiggle their pink little sausages at him, making short work of many of the frail casters before they overwhelmed the frenzied weapon of flesh.[/sblock][sblock=Description]Height: 6ft 8in
Weight: 300lbs
Eyes: black (8 spread around his head like a circlet)
Hair: Coarse black hairs like spines protrude evenly over his body
Skin: moddled tan and brown chitinous plates cover his entire body and head.

Ma’haretek has 6 arms as well as a strong pair of legs. The 5 fingers of each hand end in a viscious looking claw with a thick boney ridge down the back for extra strength. His eight unblinking black eyes wrap all the way around his head like a crown, though the 2 in front are in the same place as most bipedal humanoids. His jaw is an amazing compound structure of moving parts and gnashing teeth, but make his facial area look almost human when they have settled into a fully closed position. The thick spines that cover his boney plated body are longer at the outside edges of his many limbs, and at his jawline for a somewhat fringed appearance. Two lines of spines grow up and over his head from above his main set of eyes that are longer still, and have grown down the back, like a pair of spiked mohawks. His body is covered in primitive green tattooes in a variety of spiral and spiked patterns that flow seamlessly over the various interlocking plates that form his outer covering.

He walks on his toes like an animal ready to pounce, but under all that chitinous armor its impossible to tell if he actually is or not. Aside from a noticable hiss and some slightly sharper consenants, his voice is still disturbingly human, but can quickly turn into a bone-scraping screech when he gets agitated.[/sblock]

in case anyone didn't see earlier posts... CM looks to be taking a break until at least the beginning of next week... so I'm sure we won't have any lack of time finishing up character creations... lets all wish him a nice little vaca from the boards! :)

Well... What Can I say that haven't been said already? I guess something serious. But I'm not that kind of person.
Happy vacations CM! You and your flu germs deserve it!
 

vertex: Is your character male or female? You refer to it as 'he' in the background, but your class says 'sorceress'
Yah originally I was going to make it a female, but the 22 strength didn't really lend itself to a girly girl build. He is indeed quite manly now. :cool: Hopefully I can get to play this claw fighter build, and get it out of my system so I can move on to other things when thinking about character concepts in the future! :devil:
 


I am a new pbp player but I have played face-to-face. Do you mind if I play. If not I was thinking of playing either a skullcrusher ogre fighter or a human barb.
 

Our GM is currently away dealing with that pesky 'life' stuff that sometimes happens, I'm sure he'll get back to you when he can.

As for my personal thoughts - well we do allready have an ogre beatstick, so I'd suggest something else.

Updated Player List!. As per Ambrus' earlier lists, red indicates a submitted character sheet.

Vox Fini (Human Diviner 6)
Myth and Legend (Minotaur 6)
Shayuri (Human Psion[Shaper])
Rathan (Hafling Rogue 6)
Voda Vosa (Mind Flayer 6)
Ambrus (Shadow 6)
GlassEye (Ogre 6)
Pneumatik (Elan Psychic Warrior 6)
ethandrew (Human bard 6)
Tailspinner (Human Monk 5 / Assassin 1)
Jemal (Human Paragon 3 / Warlock 3)
Vertexx69 (Feral Insectile Human Ranger 2 / Sorcerer 1)

SiliconDragon (Shifter Sorcerer 5 / Dragon Disciple 1)
Concerro
Cerebus2009

Hmm.. Looks like we currently have 10 submitted characters, and 4 more players who've expressed their interest.
 

I know CM was talking about running maybe 10, he likes to start with lots of players due to player attrition over time. For those who haven't been in one of his games, he really appreciates extensive backstories that he can incorporate into the story-arc. So it seems some of us might not be included in the original party, but I want to let everyone know, especially those newer to these boards, what they need to do to give themselves the best chance to be included.

Best of luck to everyone! I've never seen a more eclectic potential group.
