[Iron Heroes] A Saga of Might - OOC (Re-recruiting)

[Walking Dad]

...
Background I'm a bit stuck on. I don't want to do a silly 'raised by animals' thing, but I like the idea of a sort of primitive, quasi-feral warrior. Any thoughts as to what would be appropriate?
...

Maybe something like a totem warrior, channeling the power of some wild cat totem...

I like the sound of the totem warrior/animal clan kind of culture, that's got interesting potential.

This is another busy week for me, but I'll try to get the game started at some point before the end.

Rogues Gallery is now up for this game. Please upload your characters.

Ok...I'm looking at refluffling the character as more of an 'exotic' than a savage now. A character from a far off land, with strange ways and beliefs. The character would owe a bit more to the 'monk' style of hand to hand combat...a disciplined philosophical martial art rather than just screaming and leaping.

I see the character as being of the desert tribes, perhaps...a sort of combination of Arab and Chinese (likely a 'china' styled empire who's influence stretches as far as the desert, but not beyond)...

New stats posted tonight!

If you want an interesting twist, perhaps the character does not speak Basic (the Common of the setting)? Xoria speaks "Imperial," the language of an Empire to be Named Later, and she's got the knowledge skills to recognize the stranger for what she is.

This may not be what you want, as it limits your interactions with other characters. Perhaps Xoria recognized her early, and has for weeks (months?) been helping her learn Basic when she thinks no one is watching? Xoria does not want to give away her education, but would recognize a useful ally when she sees one.

Let me know your thoughts.

 

[Shayuri]

I think it might be a bit limiting not to speak the language most PC's speak at game start. However, depending on how long Xoria and my character have been captured, perhaps Xoria helped her learn it?

Then there'd be a certain degree of mutual trust between them...always handy in a party.

Do you mind if I name the town that Lazarus was born in?

Shay, you may want to have a look at Phaezen's background where he mentions a self-styled "Emperor of the Sun" to the east. The suggestion, though, is that the "Emperor" is little more than a bandit lord, although he might be styling himself on a proper Empire even further East.

Please, go ahead. I really have no setting details planned (beyond the immediate set-up) and I'm more than happy for players to contribute to world-building as we go along.

Good luck with the game!
