Yikes, sorry! I jumped into the conversation with Raef with both feet, expecting that folks would be more interested in the information that came from the conversation than the conversation itself. I'll slow it down if that's what you need.Could I get a pause or a slowdown or...I dunno! The whole game's racing by without me here!
I'm confused on timeline too. Have we all been adventuring together already?
A story for my character is coming, but it's just not as QUICK as you guys! Creatively, I'm spread kind of thin right now. And so far I haven't seen much from the folks who want to connect backgrounds with other than "our folks know each other."
Admittedly, I haven't produced anything for them to work with either.
I'm just dismayed and frustrated to see all these RP moments blitz past before I've even selected a name for my character!![]()
First of all, thank you Renau...my angst recedes.
Your notions have created notions of my own. Let us see where this leads.
Let us say we share the same mother, an elfmaid of Alfheim. Astrad, my character, is her firstborn, with another elf, a good 85-90 years ago. They were together for a time, then grew apart as elves often do. Our mother then became curious about the outside world and went into the lands of humans. That's where your father comes into the picture.
In my head, their affair was a brief, intense thing, and she left to retun to Alfheim shortly afterwards. She gave birth to her half-elf child...and a very difficult and painful birth it was.
Although my character 'big sissed' you and helped take care of you, we went separate paths as we grew. Astrad was more physically oriented, preferring to 'study' nature by experiencing it directly. Keharn was more thoughtful and philosophical, and studied with druids and shamen. Parallel courses through life; separate but equal.
Now as for what brought them out of Alfheim...what do you think about wanting to meet your father? And Astrad could use the notion of trying out for Elvenguard as an excuse to go with.
Not sure where our elf-raised human fits into this...but there's room for fitting him in if he's interested.
I know! I feel awful trying to slow things down when everyone's excited, but it's like the firing gun went off when I was still tying my shoe here. What else can I do?

And I probably won't have it done before tomorrow night at the earliest. It is my birthday today, and I've got a busy day/night planned.![]()

Happy Birthday to you, too! (Assuming that's what you meant by your statement.)Happy Birthday!

Working on Questor now. Getting him created will be easy, and then it's just a matter of advancing him to the proper level.As of this writing, Rhun and Leif are the only ones left who have not posted completed character mechanics to the RG thread.
