For the Greater Good - Full

Ok reapersaurus, if you don't mind, I think I'm going to go with Jarval for right now, but go ahead and get your character up when you can. I can probably take 7 for this game anyway, but I'd really like to get started soon. :)

Yep, sorry I'm takin so long ill be able to work on it now, just ahd to get past a wicked//harsh term paper at school. I think I'm done my appearance and I'm a bout halfway through my BG and personality.
 

AZ - Yeah, school is important. Don't worry about us. If we end up starting before you can finish, would you mind if I were to NPC your character a bit until you could join? We're still waiting on reapersaurus, so this might not be an issue, but I just wanted to know.
 

Don't be waiting on me.
I would not want to be the reason why anything slowed down - if you are ready, and the players are ready, by all means steam ahead.
If I can make a character that's interesting enough to add into your chronicle after starting, than that'll be cool - it's all good. ;) <-- BIG WINK (I hate that phrase)
 

Okiday, the general premise I have here is that you've all been called to Andeulvay by Orshallan. He has sent each of you a letter to the following effect.

To my fellow Guardian of the Light,

I write to you now to ask you a most important favor, one that may be fraught with peril, yet will serve to advance the cause of light. This quest would require the utmost finesse and care, and thus I feel I can entrust it to you and others I have requested.

My own people in the church of Heironeous have an overabundance of zeal, I'm afraid, for a mission of this sort. They are skilled, brave, true, and faithful, but usually use the most direct method, which is not needed now.

My words are vague, but I dare not entrust this quest to paper and ink. I ask you to come to Andeluvay at the end of Highsun [8th month of the year] if you will hear me out.

I tell you truly, this is a matter of the utmost importance.

May the Invincible Guard You,
Orshallan
High Rightousness of the Invincible

The letter arrived almost a month ago, and depending on your proximity to Andeluvay, you could have arrived a while ago, or just now, or will be arriving in a few days. It is Firstday, the fourth week of Highsun.

Tell me when your character arrived, and what he or she has been doing in the meantime [going to services, listening to rumors, buying things, etc]. Orshallan is not yet in town, though his second, Galdaron Exile, says that he has had letters from him and he'll be back by Fifthday of this week. He marks down the names of any of the group that has reported to the temple early.

Please ping in and tell me what your character is doing/has been doing.
 

Sebastian Andovar has recently arrived back to Andeluvay from dispatching another of his lost brothers. He stays in Andeluvay until he hears rumor of one of his former Brothers stirring trouble. This time, however, he receives Orshallan's letter not but two weeks before he is scheduled to arrive. Sebastian usually never stays so shortly before heading off again.

Of course, Sebastian cannot deny the call of the righteous in the fight against evil.
 

Lyssia arrives in town as soon as she got the letter. Strickly for the cause he's espousing she tells herself repeatedly as she lingers over the letter for the 10th time upon arriving to the town. As she linger over the rooftops, wondering to herself what to do as she lingers by the local temple/shrine of sune, looking to aid those in love (as a distraction to her own mixed thoughts.)
 

Norin accepts the letter handed to him by a young acolyte and reads it with a fair bit of trepidation. The High Righteousness had struck him as a good but cunning man. "Cleverness," the holy texts said, was "a sharpened tool, but Cunning a weapon which cuts both ways."

He had never requested the title of Saint but could not deny the overwhelming response of the church and the people. If Heironeous wished to bless him, who was he to question? He knew of no other living Saint of the church, in fact- the honorific was typically bestowed post-mortem.

No doubt it had been Norin's history which led Orshallan to call upon his services, not the his brief contact with the Monk. If it was something so dire, then perhaps he should grant such a wish.

The ensuing months are spent along the busy trade roads which lead to Andeluvay. Norin walks, as always, for most of the day and well into most nights. He speaks with travellers, offers the blessing of the Shroud of Felis to those in need, and protects the road against any bandits who happen to prey upon it. At last, near the appointed time, he arrives in the Capitol.

Norin insists upon staying outside- in the chapel's courtyard or possibly out front- during his stay. He shares with art with those willing to listen, freely giving tokens of wisdom to those with an ear to hear. Giving is his life, but fighting oppression is his passion. He anticipates the meeting with Orshallan with growing unease.
 

Edited in some more background for Nessa, which includes her connection with Orshallan. (You can find Nessa here.) Any more information you've got about the church of Boccob would be really handy. Thanks :)
 

I'm sorry I haven't got my background up but I got his appearance and personality which should be enough for you to NPC him for a bit. Though I'll have that background put up by tomorrow I'm sure.
