[sblock=Appearance, Personality, Background]APPEARANCE: Isphet is a fairly tall, but slimly built man with dusky skin. He keeps his hair short and beard trimmed as tradition dictates among his people. He is (or at least was) a member of the successful merchant class, and thus keeps a "cultured" appearance: trimmed nails, perfumed and oiled skin, bright teeth, and fine, brightly coloured robes.
A smile is seldom far from his face, his jovial attitude just beginning to etch its tale on his face as his boyhood falls away. He tends to speak in measured tones, dancing between respectful and insolent, but always with humour.
PERSONALITY: Isphet's chocolate brown eyes are always watching for the details in everything, not wanting to miss anything that might be to his advantage, and also to watch out for pitfalls.
He's serious about protecting what is important to him, but he has a tendency to couch everything in anecdotes (humourous or otherwise), rather than being direct. Isphet doesn't let morbidity or fatalism take over, instead concentrating his efforts on how to get out of the latest disaster.
Archetypes: Companion, Trickster
Traits: Calm, Charming, Loyal, Skilled
BACKGROUND: Isphet was raised in moderate wealth in the city of Azrafel. At the foot of his father, he learnt about people, what motivates them, and how, when and in what order to push their buttons so that you get what you want from them.
However, as the youngest son of his family, Isphet did not inherit his family's fortune upon reaching his majority, instead needing to carve his own place in the world, eventually settling down in Majoor. Fortunately, his father had instilled in him a good sense of business, allowing the young Isphet to live well (if modestly) as a trader, pawnbroker, and moneylender in his new home.
Unfortunately, the same could not be said for his older brother, Yaqim. Squandering the wealth his family had accumulated, Yaqim had fallen into a spiral of gambling and vice. Isphet decided it was his duty to protect the family name, and helped his brother out with his debt, transfering the debt to his own name. His home, favoured possessions, and a number of family heirlooms were all lost as collateral for this debt.
It still wasn't enough. This was how Isphet ended up at the Twin Scimitars guild with only a few meagre possessions and need for gold. He needed it quick, which meant dangerous work. It was there that he met Droban Ironthane, who, he had to admit was a lot better at being a mercenary than he. During the course of their mission, the two became fast friends, and they also encountered Avardis, who proved capable, even invaluable to their efforts investigate the camel thieves.
Upon returning to Majoor, the three now discuss what further options they have. Meanwhile, time is ticking, and their gold is slowly drying up even as they talk. Still, Isphet can think of far worse company to be in.[/sblock]
PS: Sorry it took me so long to post him up I got roped into going to my girlfriend's Father's Day celebration in Melbourne.
I also rethought Isphet's progression a bit. I want to instead multiclass him into swashbuckler and Duelist. With your permission, Master Thrower would be a heaps cool class to pick up eventually (if it goes on long enough).
EDIT: Thanks Redclaw! That's what happes when I get lazy and copy a template.

IC thread to come shortly. For now, check to see if anything needs to be done with your characters. Also, your bonus xp, if any, is listed below.
[sblock=Redclaw]
Asad looks great. No changes needed.
Start with 250xp[/sblock]
[sblock=YeOldeAlbatross]
Droban looks great. No changes needed.
Start with 250xp.[/sblock]
[sblock=Rolzup]
G'Sharn looks great. No changes needed.
Start with 250xp.[/sblock]
[sblock=Necro_Kinder]
I'm a little concerned with Dirk's CHA score. It's fine mechanically, but that's pretty low. Make sure you are able to roleplay this low score effectively without pissing off the rest of the group. It's a fine line! If you decide you want to raise your CHA, just post a new version when you get the chance.
Good use of the adventure background and that of G'Sharn!
Start with 250xp.[/sblock]
[sblock=Sound_of_Azure]
Looks like you went with the UA Rogue variant for Isphet, which loses Sneak Attack for Fighter feats. Is that correct?
Everything else looks fine.
Start with 150xp.
PS. In terms of that progression, I don't think that will be a problem, but take a look at Duelist and Swashbuckler again. You'd think that they would be a good fit together, but actually, they aren't that fantastic. We may need to work out a variant of one or the other if that's the route you want to take with the character.
[/sblock]
Ilium, we're still missing Avardis. I'm not waiting on him to start the game, but I'd like to see a character in the next few days. You can still participate in the roleplaying part of the adventure setup without your character posted, but please post your character asap.

[sblock=Insight] Well, he is a loner who grew up mostly by himself in the desert, but yeah, 6 does seem low. I re-arranged his scores so it's up to 8 now. Still low to show his poor people skills, but not as low. Thanks for the XP too.[/sblock]
