Eberron campaign; ex-cyrian theme [closed - sorry]

[ShaggySpellsword]

Thank you so much! Glad you like it.

If anyone in writing their back-story wants to work mine in with theirs or talk about aligning ours somehow, I am all for it if it's okay with the DM.

Where and when should I post stats? I've never done a PBP before, so you'll have to bear with me.

Stupid double post

Start writing up your info & once we've got another person approved we'll start up a rogues gallery Thread. Your final version of the character can go there.

My thoughts on a character concept

Hobbes - CN Tiger Shifter Barbarian 2

Stupid armies and stupid governments. They can all go to the abyss for all I care. I was perfectly happy living in the forested hills with my family till they came along. All I wanted was to be left alone but they would not have it. They heard all the rumors and stories from the townsfolk that I had to keep chasing off my land. The stories of how I can kill anything that comes my way, that not even a dragon could stop me. Stupid townsfolk, even after I save their lives countless number of times with the roving dolgrims, they still have to bring suffering to me and mine. So naturally those stupid soldiers enlist my help to aid in there stupid war. They "helped" me start off my career as a solider of the line. Like I had any choice, they held me at sword point and all but shackled me to their cause. They were going to bring glory to themselves as the Cyrian Army was going to march on to victory against the rampaging marauders. No wonder they lost the battles to come, they know not how to fight. They know not how to let the beast inside rise and take command of ones actions. So several years later I have finally come back home to live my life once more and hopefully never to see anyone else again. Over the next hill finally is home.

Stupid armies and stupid leaders....What have they done to my home! Everything is gone, it's almost as if the mountains themselves have changed. Where did my family go? What happened to them, there is nothing left but barren wasteland? No town, no family, no nothing. I swear on the great beast within, that I will find out what happend to everything I hold dear and I will seek revenge on whoever did this.

Anvuss, warforged fighter 2

Anvuss was produced to order by the armies of Cyre. At "birth", a weapon was placed in his hands and he began to train. Until the end of the last war, his life was nothing but training and fighting. Recently, he has developed an interest in his own origins, and in the magics of creation.

Having no familly, he has attached himself to those of his old comarades that he can. Desiring funding to support himself and pursue his interests, he's looking for the only kind of occupation he knows... some kind of fight.

Anvuss has not yet reached any sort of philosophical maturity, and is currently Neutral (undecided.) This may change over time, as he gains more experience acting outside a structured military environment and starts to make his own choices as to how to act. He's pretty naive at the moment.

Alternate: Prism, Psion 2 (Shaper)

Edit: Disregard this, just reread your reply regarding psionics.

Here's the psionic one, in case that's allowed and/or you don't want two artificers in the party. Though two artificers could be cool...

One of the last warforged produced in Cyre, Prism has an unusual composition for a warforged. In adddition to the fairly standard wood & steel, reinforced with adamantine, he's also got a substantial quantity of crystal in his makeup. His primary weapon is his mind and he's very curious. He'd like to someday learn the reason for Cyre's fall. His own egocentric suspicion, which is probably wildly wrong, is that the forces of the Quori learned that Cyre was experimenting with psionic warforged, and found a way to destroy them for it.

Here's my idea for Magnus, a NG human cleric 2.

Magnus is the son of a house Cannith armor smith (not a noble, just an employee). He was recruited at a young age to serve in the cyrian military. Because of the skills he learned from his father, he was assigned to a repair shop for damaged warforged. The shop was close to the front and, one day, a large group of Karrnathi undead troops broke through the cyrian lines and attacked the repair shop. Magnus was terrified by the undead but he knew at the same time that, if no one did anything, they would be slaughtered. Magnus picked up the sword of the nearest disabled warforged and slashed a Karrnathi zombie with it. To his own surprise, as he was never really religious, he heard himself cry out "Dol Dorn help me !" as he attacked. Suddenly, his plain sword became enveloped with a very bright white flame and the undead fled before him. The some cyrians rallied around him and the Karrnathi were repelled.

This miracle marked the beginning of Magnus' faith. Although he was never able to reproduce the kind of power he manifested on that day, he believed Dol Dorn saved him and this faith gave him some powers. He served through out the rest of the war in the cyrian military, as a fighting holy man. During the day of mourning, some soldiers and him were pursuing Valenar raiders across the border when the disaster struck. At first, he cried the death of many of his family and friends but he has since accepted this as the will of the gods. It is simply a new challenge the mortals have to understand and overcome.

With the return of peace, Magnus has spent the last couple of years studying religion and becoming a proper priest of the Sovereign Host. He now has faith in all the gods but Dol Dorn remains his main patron. Magnus is a great optimist. He believes Cyre can be restored, one way or another. He's now in Breland, looking for others who share his view of a renewed Cyre.

Yeah, just create a character from the core races.

There are a few changes in terms of culture.
- Halflings are a nomadic people who are often seen as barbarians. They ride Dinosaur mounts and have both the mark of healing and the mark of hospitalist.
- Half-elfs: they actually have a place in Eberron! The 1/2 elves have formed noble houses and are a sstable and necessary part of both international economics and culture. They have the mark of storm and the mark of detection.

Also there are some nice feats surrounding action points and monk-weapons for flurrying.

email me at "creetbee AT yahoo DOT com" and I'll try and give you the info that you want.
---------------------------------------------------

GPEKO - Magnus is in.
Paitlin - Anvuss is in as well.
Elocin - Hobbes is also in.

we've got a cleric, an artificer, a barbarian and a fighter. hmmmm.
Kolikoes, I'll still take a fifth person if you are keen.

I'll have the RG thread up by the end of the day.

Sweet!!

Very much looking forward to this.
