Interest Check - Way of the Wicked - Golarian

I suppose we don't need Disable Device. But, even without Trapfinding, DD is still a class skill. ;)

The bard cannot eb LG according to the campaign guidelines.

I know. Maybe I will switch Knowledge (Local) for Disable Device. Who needs to know things when you just threaten others to tell you what you need, ;) . Yes, I will do that.
 





Here is my character and stuff ready for review. I took note that we do not start with any gear, but Firvin's Eidolon is not in prison and would have some stuff.

Aljalyraq: Black dragon-type Eidolon, Evil Outsider
Description: Aljalyraq is a dark, black scaled dragon type creature. He has wings, yet they are small and not large or strong enough to allow for flight. Like-wise his tail is too short and not strong enough to do much. However he has a vicious bite and razor sharp claws on his front paws. His horned visage looks menacing, but the horns themselves are flexible yet and cannot be used for weapons. He has the glowing light blue sigil that matches the one on Firvinianna.
Age: Unknown
Height: 4' 0"
Weight: 400 lbs
Eyes: Dark Red
Scales: Black

Character Sheets: Firvinianna Laali & Aljalyraq
[Sblock=Background] Firvinianna Laali was born of the unfortunate union between her mother, a Wild Elf, and a dark skinned, male Drow. Her mother had always been a little flighty and had a tendency to wander. On one such wandering, she was set upon by a loan scout from a Underdark raiding party and thoroughly raped. Believed to be too badly beaten to move, her mother escaped from her assailant, avoiding a life of potential slavery, and she eventually found her way back to her forest home. But the ordeal left her partially dead emotionally and she wasn’t the same. Unable to heal her, she slowly became socially ostracized by the others around her and was held to blame indirectly for the whole thing.

Firvinianna’s birth became a constant, guilty reminder to the community of their failure and inability to help her mother recover. Never being truly accepted, Firvin did not grow up loving her fellow elves. As she got older she kept to herself mostly. She followed the rules and was adept at staying out of trouble, but mainly to ensure she could gain power and meet her own selfish goals.

Her mother eventually committed suicide by intentionally wandering into some dangerous territory to be mauled completely by some owlbears. The community’s reaction was one of ambivalence and not something Firvinianna could live with quietly. She was still in adolescence, and very outspoken in her grief and her intractable position of holding them all responsible for her mother’s death. Not really wanting the bastard child of a Drow around as a continual reminder of their guilt, they asked her leave, despite her being still very much a girl.

Firvinianna wandered the region for some years, feeling like an outcast wherever she went. Generally this was only her perception of things as she just couldn’t connect emotionally to people while she kept herself closed off. Unless she wanted something from them, most people thought she was made of ice with her cold disposition, despite her exotic beauty. Those attractive features kept her from being completely turned away, and she was not above putting on a facade to convince or cajole people to do her bidding if necessary. Yet she always felt that she must remain secretive about her past and not reveal her true feelings to anyone.

Being still relatively young and impressionable, she fell away from the teachings of the elven gods leaving her spiritually adrift. This lack of religious influence began to manifest in her personal motivations. Still trying to find a community that would accept her, or at least one she could tolerate she kept wandering farther away from her original homelands, searching for a new home and place where, maybe, she would not be so alone.

Firvinianna found herself in the island Kingdom of Talingarde. A wandering priest that felt sorry for her was from there and brought her along home as the young dark skinned elven girl really had nowhere else to go. After growing up alongside some self-righteous followers of Iomedae for awhile, she realized that she was not one to work in the temples, but it did help her to have a more focused mind and she did learn much in her academic studies. Secretly she was more interested in the texts that talked about Asmodeus.

Acane energy was in her blood, not the divine, regardless and she sought out things that were frowned upon by those around her. The isolation and loneliness in her life turned her towards seeking a companion, one that would be more dependable. Pouring through some ancient texts, she came upon the rituals to summon demons and devils, the prospects becoming attractive to her growing lust for power. She also studied alchemy as well. Finally, in an attempt to summon a friend, she bonded with an evil outsider demon, named Aljalyraq. The creature was not one to insist upon her soul, but rather was looking for a change in his fate as well. The bond between them was such that she could transmorph him into a dragon form as he wished.

Jealous, some other teenagers, followers of Iomedae, spied and caught on to what she was doing. After seeing her summon another fiendish creature, they let it be known in the temple that she was practicing witchcraft and dark sorcery. The clergy of Iomedae would not tolerate this and the famed witch hunter Sir Balin of Karfeld was dispatched to investigate and collect the dark-skinned elf should the accusations appear to be true.

Firvinianna and Aljalyraq were alone in the forest, spending time together and bonding when Sir Balin and a small squad of rangers led by his squire surrounded the glade. The arrogant bastard left his men training nocked arrows on the elven girl and her dragon while he strode into the clearing to address them. Despite his sneering leer, she could not hope to resist and she dismissed her eidolon to prevent him from sacrificing himself. They marched her away in manacles.

A quick trial soon found the foreigner elf guilty of summoning an evil outsiders. Those self righteous zealots only ensured that she would forever not tolerate Iomedae's followers and seek revenge if at all possible should she escape her death sentence of being burned at the stake.[/Sblock]

Your character sounds great Perrinmiller, except that I'd prefer if your eidolon didn't have any gear. I can't really think of a reason why your creature would have been carrying that stuff around when Firvinianna was captured...and regardless I'd prefer if we didn't use that as a way to circumvent having no resources to start. Don't worry about gear. It will take care of itself :)
 

Just an update so we know where we are:

[MENTION=6667065]Terrible Swift Sword[/MENTION]
I'd like to get a little background blurb on Terrible Swift Sword's character. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, but just a little something to tie him into the world.

[MENTION=1231]Kaodi[/MENTION]
For your background, House Darius now sits on the the thrown and rules Talingarde as a Religious Monarchy. The last few kings since the civil war have all been paladins or clerics of Iomedae. Before the civil, House Barca sat on the thrown. During the civil war, many of House Barca sided with the Asmodeans and were destroyed along with the rest of the church after their defeat. However, several lesser nobles were able to claim no involvement, their holdings being far enough in the borderlands to have not been directly involved in the conflict.

You may choose to be a decendent of one of the lesser Barca families, or we can go with House Torvin being a house allied with the Barcans, and thus disgraced after the war.

[MENTION=24234]kinem[/MENTION]

The civil war occurred roughly 80 years ago. I may pull that in if you would like to be an actual survivor of that conflict, but you'd still be pretty old (I could pull it in maybe 40 years ago). I realize I didn't include that detail in my introduction, my apologies. Or, we could do something where you survived, but were banished somewhere. When you returned to the prime material, you had not aged, but time had advanced further then you expected.

Imagine your surprise when you returned to find the nation under the iron boot of a Iomedae Theocracy....not the Asmodean one you were hoping to find!

Or something completely different :) Up to you.

[MENTION=30034]ghostcat[/MENTION]

Quiggly looks good. How do you feel about House Sanderson being a family of uplifted merchants that recently "purchased" nobility through generous donations to the Iomedaen church? Your family controls much of the shipping between the island of Talingarde and the rest of Golarian.

[MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] Still need a character ;)
