Heh.
Wait till the other one's done!
I"m probably going to go the route of doing one short update for each SH each week, if possible. That way there'll be progress on both.
Speaking of which, here are the PC's that will be appearing in this adventure film! (And my players, if I got something wrong below on your character's description, let me know and it'll get fixed pronto)
THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
Visiel Warforged Fighter3 (Nayu’s former player)
An incomplete pic can be found here.
Visiel is something of an enigma. Due to the frequent, recurring wars between the Empire, Kandor, Lees and Kubalia, the Imperial Navy found itself in need for something to salvage the wrecks of the great naval battles to reuse cannon, and collect or destroy valuables or important secrets that sank with their ships. To this end, with the assistance of the neutral gnomes, the Empire has succeeded in creating several sentient constructs, called ‘Warforged.’
Production of these machines is very slow, and many still do not know of their existence. Some warforges have managed to wander far from their supposed areas, confused by human activity and seeking to ‘blend in.’ Viseil is one of these. Since the short-lived ‘Peace of Cantoris’ two years ago, the warforged were released from service. With the recent outbreak of hostilities once again, more are sure to be produced, and those that have since wandered are sure to be called back.
While he does not think simply, Visiel tends to think directly. He knows that he is good at salvage work, his size and weapons skills make him intimidating, and he knows humans frequently will need his help. He left the production facility two years ago, and has constantly missed the safe hierarchy of command. From what he understands, human naval vessels both have a need for salvage workers, and also have a strict, comforting hierarchy, as well as constant work. Perhaps one of them could use his service, and just in case he finds trouble, Viseil always has his great hammer (two handed hammer the same size as a greataxe), or his expensive, but useful, wheel-lock rifle.
Viktalia Formorteran (Chirops subrace) Variant Bard2 (Felonca’s former player)
Viktalia is something of a minor celebrity. A bard of a little renown in the city of Erelion, Viktalia is an adventure seeker... something rather unusual for her race. Most Formorteran’s are content to stay on their isle, and try to avoid the brewing conflict between elves and humans that threatens to envelop them. Viktalia cares not about the fighting... elves are elves, humans are humans, and all are interesting to get to know.
Viktalia is from the Chirops subrace of the Formorteran race. Graced with beauty, she looks remarkably human, save her furry skin, her head, which resembles that of a fruit bat (or fox bat), and great leathery wings she usually keeps wrapped about herself. A dancer by training, her ears, fingers, and wings are adorned with numerous small trinkets and chimes that jingle when she moves. She also shares with her distant, less developed cousins an obsession with fruit; she has been known, at times, to perform for payment in kind of fresh fruit.
However, Viktalia has also seen her share of trouble during her days. When traveling, she usually sports two kukris, and a pistol, but even when she dances onstage clad in the slightest of clothing, she still remains armed. Her elegantly carved and beautiful baton, which she uses during her dances, contains a secret chamber. When the proper button is pushed, a short, but razor sharp strand of steel wire shoots out of the end, allowing her to slash any would be malcontents.
Viktalia is hoping that she can find a ship headed either to Kubalia, or the New World. As big as Erelion is, she is starting to grow bored after spending several months here. Maybe a ship in the harbor will need an entertainer, or maybe she can purchase passage?
(Note: Viktalia’s player designed her race by herself. The creature gets an ECL of 1, gets a racial bonus of +2 on Balance, Climb, and Jump checks, alongside a subracial bonus of fly 20ft.(average), and +2 Charisma and +2 Dex in return for a –2 to Strength. There’s other subraces she designed than the one she took for Viktalia. Maybe she could post them?

Siran Rapp Human Cleric3 (the new guy) St. Heraclius (LN Saint of War)
Siran has long been a priest. Tall of stature, graced with the red eyes that signal a descendant of the ancient Desert Dragon, as well as a wicked spiked chain, Siran looks the part of a warrior. The second son of a minor noble from the north, Siran knew that his elder brother would succeed to the family title. All that was left for him was either mercenary work as a freelance warrior, or a life of learning within the church.
Ever resourceful, Siran managed to combine these; he took as his patron saint St. Heraclius, the patron saint of warfare (Domains: War, Destruction). The clerics of Saint Heraclius often find themselves on the frontline of the wars waged by the Empire, and Siran was no different; he saw service as ship’s healer and chaplain aboard several warships during the First Leesian War, some five years ago, serving with distinction and at that war’s end, discharged from the service.
Now 26, Siran is looking for work. He has retained his noble stature and tastes; he loves fine drink, fine company, and money. As the wars with Kandor and Lees have flared up again, perhaps a warship needs a cleric? Or maybe he can use his five years experience as a sailor and join as an officer. All he knows is that its been a long time since he’s had a bottle of Formorteran brandy, and he’s hoping that a new paycheck can buy him one.
