[OOC] A Little Night Music

[Old Fezziwig]

Hi, all. Just a note about PCs and backgrounds. If you could, when you post your finished PCs in our Rogues Gallery thread, please list the following at the bottom of your post: one item of importance to them, two people important to them, and two places important to them. Please be as specific as possible with regards to all these items. Feel free to create things, places, and people if you haven't already.

Best,
Nick

Is it necessary to have these? When I created Traubon, I was going for a character who was still searching for a purpose... I imagine that he hasn't become close to too many things, hence his leaving his homeland.

Douane: You should have e-mail again.

Best,
Nick

Just to let you know, Nick, that I got no email.

Could you please re-send it?


Thanks,

Folkert

GnomeWorks: Yes, I'd prefer that you did. You already have some things taken care of (I'd accept the village of Traubon's youth, the old dwarven sage that taught him magic, Traubon's father). Other than that, I doubt that his time on the surface has occurred in a vacuum--has he met anyone? Found anything? Stayed anywhere something interesting happened to him? Maybe the weapons his father trained him with hold some value to him. I'd like something to work with. "Important" doesn't mean they have to be close, but all people are influenced by some things, and that's kind of what I'm looking for.

Douane: Odd. I'll resend it later tonight.

johnsemlak: If you could, I'd like to have those five things done up for Roland as well.

best,
Nick

Okay. I'll work on something.

Hey, no fair stealing my shtick!

I really don't know what TWO places would be important to Valathorn. Obviously, the temple is important, for several reasons. But another unless you want to count the whole city as a seperate location. He really has spent the majority of his life in the city; and the majority of that at the temple. As for people there is Hrothgar and the officer that is teaching him how to hone his psionics. (Can you name him? I'm drawing a blank.) As for important item, that would be a holy symbol of Heronius, it is both a symbol of his 'family' and focus he uses in meditation.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

GnomeWorks: Thanks.

Douane: I thought we were stealing [insert sci-fi/fantasy author here]'s schtick.

rangerjohn: That all sounds fine. The city itself is far too big, although I can appreciate that. Maybe he meets the officer somewhere other than the temple to train or maybe Hrothgar's residence would work?

Best,
Nick

Douane: E-mail resent.

I had pictured the 'temple' as a compound, consisting of the actual church, training and housing facilities for the various orders of Heironius and any thing else that would be in such a complex. With your mentioning it as one of the major temples of the capital and Heironius being a martial god, this is what I pictured. Is Thorakas not as big a city as I imagined? Or are the gods relegated to a lesser role, behind the university and the arcane?
