(D&D) Breaking New Ground OOC [Full]

Arknath

First Post
*insert obligatory fantasy greeting here*.

Obviously I'm running a PBP campaign. This is a home-brew world and it will be set in the first year of the world's existence. The requirements are simple and as follows:

Race: Elf (more specifically, a race we call "Twilight Elf")
Alignment: Any but Evil and CN
Classes: Any PHB or Psionic Handbook classes. We do have house rules for just about every class and classes are not restricted by alignment.
Level: 5
Number of players: No greater than 5 for now, would like to have 1-3 alternates in case more are needed
Names: First names are open, but you are all of House D'Lur, the ruling family under King Koreth and Queen Anoria.

Level of posting: I am new to PBP DM'ing (but not new to DMing) so this game will post once every day or two, depending on your character's actions and your participation.

Motivations: Teamwork, desire for the greater good, survival of the race. Your people have need of a new home, as their old home is becoming overrun with hostile creatures.

Sourcebooks: Currently any book by WotC (including FR books as we have converted most if not all specific FR things to our world)and Malhavoc Press will be allowed in the game. However, your choices are subject to my approval (naturally).

We'll start the recruiting now...would like to have recruits and characters created by the end of the week.

I'm probably interested. I'd like to play a wizard. Shall I draw one up & post it here? Anything I should know before that? gold? magic? origin advice?
 



Information

Thank you for your interest and questions...

I'd like to play a wizard. Shall I draw one up & post it here?

That would be fine. If you want to email it to me instead, you can email it to gemguard@hotmail.com.

Anything I should know before that?

To flesh out the family a little bit...Your house patron, King Koreth, is a renowned warrior and a fair man. He is rarely seen without a smile upon his face and a jovial remark or two has been known to escape his lips. His combination of swordsmanship and magic is incomparable to any you've ever heard of in your race.

However, lately he's been a little less laid back and more stern, as the world you call home is at risk. The natural inhabitants of the world, tyrnadors in your elven tongue, are at war with each other and will stop at nothing until one side or the other is completely wiped out. They are wreckless in their consumption of resources and careless of the condition of your lands. Several diplomatic envoys have been sent to both sides with little progress. It has been determined by the council of elders that the tyrnadors are savages and cannot be reasoned with.

The house matron, Queen Anoria, is a high priestess to the god of war and battle, Keytenye. She is an abrupt elven matron and very unaffectionate towards most of the family, save others who are in the clergy as well. She sees this conflict as an opportunity for the elves to show their loyalty and dedication to Keytenye. As you may guess, the queen and king have been arguing their points of view for years. Unable to settle their differences, the royal couple brought their problem to the table of the elders, the proper procedure in elven monarchies when the king and queen cannot come to some compromise. After much debate and long months of weighing options, the council decided that this war was not for a good cause and the elven lives that would be claimed would not be worth the effort. The council commanded that a new refuge be found, one that could be an elvenhome, or ersadia, for all and all would be equal in this new land.

Thus it was agreed to, reluctantly by the queen, and the ruling family was given the task of finding this new land for the elves to occupy. Queen Anoria assembled the first group of scouts to venture forth into unknown worlds...those scouts are you.


Your gold shall equal 20,000gp to spend at the armory. When purchasing items no single item may be more than 25% of your total gold. All items must be under 5,000gp. Wizards can flesh out their spellbooks with this starting gold, in addition to their spells learned at each level.

origin advice?

You are a part of a fairly large elven house. The king is the house patron and he has 3 brothers and two sisters.

Koreth D'Lur (king)
Myllannah D'Lur (sister, druidic in practice)
Ellhirra D'Lur (sister, master swordswoman, trains the Crimson Guard - personal body guards of House D'Lur - in sword use)
Nurboi - (brother, wizard of some power)
Selor - (brother, has strange mind powers, very rare in family history)
Peilense - (brother, family comedian and entertainer)

The King and Queen have just had a son, which they have named Arknath, and he is the crown prince of D'Lur.

I'll play a Ranger. Zyrial D'Lur second born of House D'Lur.

This works perfectly...just for your knowledge, we have a house ranger, if you would like to have a look, let me know...
 



Interested in a psion or psi-warrior. The relationship to the others is up to you, I don't mind [brother, cousin, nephew].

I'm definitely interested. I want to play Ellar D'Lur, son of Elhirra D'Lur, but I'm not sure which class - I'm trying to create an arcane-magic-using scout, but the rules aren't accomodating me. Let me know if you have any suggestions or house rules that can help. Failing that, I'll build a fighter/rogue or straight rogue of some sort.
