Devil's Plow OOC (Full; Alts Welcome)

[Kerrz]

Yup, so I'm gonna have a hobgoblin scout coming up soon, assuming that's okay by you. I have like...no backstory yet. But I'll think of something.

Isn't the point of this whole thing that the goblinoids are raiding the last vestiges of humanoid settlement? Would a goblinoid not be... you know... universally hated and despised? I can assure you that if we go live with a goblinoid in the party, my character will hate and despise him.

I mean, it's still possible, and I think it would be neat to try, but it might lead to difficulties keeping the party together if my character wants to kill yours.

EDIT: Holy crap, I actually could fit that in really well. It really makes a lot of sense, plot-wise. So, if you want that, I'll let you play your hobgoblin scout IF you email me first to discuss it. And please do, becuase I think this'll add something to the game. Thanks.

 

[Komodo]

You got it. What's your address, Ringmereth?

 

[Ringmereth]

Funny, I thought you could email through people's profiles, but I guess I turned that off. Anyway, you can get ahold of me at FhqwhgadsTim@gmail.com, or I'll IM you if you come online. Anyway, you can go ahead and post the sheet here, and I'll email you the background-type stuff you'll need.

Hey Ringmereth,

Quick question: could my character have access to the druid's spell list, instead of the cleric's? I just feel that the druid's list feels more "elvish", being close to nature and all.

Cheers,

SG

An odd request, methinks, but I don't believe it'll cause any balance issues. So go ahead, but make any changes to your character from this soon.

To everyone else: happy wednesday! Look for a game thread in 'Playing the Game' soon. Komodo, if you can get a character in later today, I'll still take it.

Ringmereth, a note from the Playing the Game thread:

it's [ color=red]blahblahblahIsmelllikedogmeat[ /color] but without the spaces.

blahblahblahIsmelllikedogmeat

I will also be using a particular colour for my speech. I hope that isn't a problem. So a post would look like:

Tobe walked into the bar and said, "Man, did that hurt."

 

[Ranger Rick]

May I recommend red be for OOC.

Try to speak in a brighter color. I usually speak in (dark)orange.

First off, characters were chosen on the basis of how well they meshed, their bios, and the RPing vibe I got from their players. If your character doesn't appear below, it's nothing personal-your character just didn't have the feel I wanted for this game. That said, the following characters will compose the starting line-up.

-Tobe Anonced, played by Kerrz
-Ethyann "Sorrowsong" Silverblade, played by Steve Gorak
-Thraxus, played by Pheonix
-Jonath Stonescale, played by Psychotic

This list is subject to change if Komodo and Ferrix produce suitable characters today.

*looks at Ranger Rick awkwardly for a moment and walks off*

Oh, and yes, Red is for OOC. I think we've all determined that by now.

I put it over here, because I didn't want to clutter the "Playing the Game" thread with nonsense that wasn't really about the game.

 

[Komodo]

Description: Troll is a large hobgoblin male, muscular but not overly buff. His dark orange skin is rough and marked by many tiny scars, testament to his extensive stay in the wilds. Troll's face is broad and flat, and two small tusks jut upwards from his lower jaw. He has a wide, large-nostriled nose with a slightly reddish tint (this makes him sexier, according to the Slayer's Guide) and bright yellow eyes. A thick mane of dark gray hair covers the top of his head and falls to about the center of his thick neck. It is swept back from his forehead and bound into three locks by strips of brown cord; the edgemost locks are considerably smaller than the central mass*. However, he tends to wear a well-worn, wide-brimmed hat that protects his face and neck during extended exposure to the sun's rays.
