Lots of submitions, not quite as many full characters yet. How many you intending to run? Or is that subject to change depending on what/how many you get?

Also, if you want, I can try to keep this updated for your convenience.

It is subject to how many I get and what those concepts are, the original Mythar game ran with 8 players to start.

You also missed Lazlow an original player, playing Osric, a human fighter. Although he hasn't been updated yet.

And Erekose13 (also an original) is probably playing a Gnome Telepath/Quietus.
 

Updated (Will be in a second). I didn't see Lazlow post in this thread, but that's fine.

Obviously, you won't have a problem with 8.
 

Okay, after MUCH (unnecessary) deliberation, I've simply bumped Osric up to a level 7 fighter. SOMEONE'S got to be able to kick some butt the old fashioned way, right? ;)

Ferrix, if you don't mind giving this a once-over, I'd appreciate it. I'm sure I've missed something along the way.

Personality
Osric is a warm, friendly sort to those few people he counts as friends, but is quiet among strangers. And while he is slow to judge those he does not know, once he deems someone a threat to the well being of the group, he quickly becomes mistrustful and even outright threatening. Like Kromgron, he enjoys entertaining children and in fact seems to be most comfortable around them; he often breaks out of the stoic, intimidating façade he adopts while guarding during performances in order to give a quick smile and a wink to any little ones passing by. While not a regular performer, he has been known to perform the occasional feat of strength during rehearsals or under-attended afternoon matinees. He especially enjoys lifting two (or more!) children off the ground as they hang onto either end of a sturdy iron bar. His size, striking red hair, and lack of social experience have caused him to become extremely self-conscious and nervous around women, sometimes even around the female members of the troupe.

Appearance
Osric is a large young man, 6’4” tall, about 250lbs, an imposing figure with a barrel chest, large hands, and broad shoulders. He doesn’t have the chiseled performer’s physique, but rather the large, muscular build of one used to heavy labor. Bright green eyes are set beneath a brow that seems a bit heavy for someone only 22 years old, and he keeps his shock of long, somewhat unruly red hair tied back in a pony tail with a couple of small, tight braids dangling around his left ear. He is usually dressed in simple worker’s clothes, his pockets full of tools as he inspects and maintains the sets, wagons, and carts. When guarding or traveling, he dons his mithril breastplate and proudly displays his falchion for all to see (especially any potential troublemakers).


Background
This simple man led a simple life – until he joined Uiim's troupe all those years ago. Born into a tradesman’s family, Osric apprenticed to his father as a blacksmith for many years before he set out on his own. After a couple of years of wandering from odd job to odd job, he attended a performance of the troupe and agreed to come on board as some hired muscle, building sets and repairing wagons, and standing guard during performances. But those days seem to be so distant now, with the resistance seemingly in full swing...

Hello again, Ferrix. Here's a rough sketch of my guy. You got a whole lot of interested souls in this game already, but hopefully you can find space for me. I'll be sending a more filled out guy as I have him finished.

[sblock]He's sort of the "Escaped Slave Turned Liberator" type: a Halfling Paladin (anti-Psionic). Here's what I'm thinking for his stats (after racial adjustments and 4th level ability bump):

Str: 14
Int: 8
Wis: 10
Dex: 12
Con: 14
Chr: 18
As far as magical items, my first choice would be Boots of Striding and Leaping, second would be some nice Full Plate, and third would be a weapon (haven't decided what yet, but probably 1-handed, since his Str wouldn't really make a 2-handed weapon worth the loss of a shield's AC bonus). I need to look into "animal companion" as I'm used to playing 3.0 instead of 3.5, and I know there's differences here, so I haven't decided on that yet, but part of me REALLY wants an ape or giant monkey--or maybe I could get the ape, but make it a "mount" instead of an animal companion. ;) Anyway, let me know what you think.[/sblock]

*laughs* Complete Adventurer errata came out today and gave Scouts the Disable Device skill, teeehee...

Ah, well I've sort of really sold on the tracking feat instead of trap finding but if you want me to change it please let me know.

On a related note I'm going to be very pressed for time till this weekend, I will also be hard pressed for time from next Monday through the following Monday.


Please all bear with me.

Bront, yeah I probably wrote down the wrong feat, the mighty bow shouldn't even be, as she doesn't have the strength for it. (She did at one point in time but I upped her wisdom to make her a better tracker. :cool: )
 


Asterian ged'Irim, gnomish telepath/quietus is coming along well. I wrote up most of his stats (except his equipment) I just have to put it into the computer. Working on his background too, esentially

DM only: [sblock]he is an assassin for the Mythar. He works to keep the populace under wraps, assassinating key members of the resistance with little or no trail of evidence (clairvoyance + burrowing mind thrust). Very recently he was blackmailed by the resistance to betray the Mythar. He is now on the run from the Mythar, thrown in with the resistance movement that he feels little sympathy for. Given time he may come around. Personality wise he is an epicurian, pursuing luxury and pleasure whenever possible accepting only the best ~ most of his money will be tied up in cash to provide for that. Along those lines he is obsessively compulsive, keeping himself as clean as possible, often stopping in combat to whipe blood or dirt off of his hands with his perfumed cloth.[/sblock]

So thats the idea. I'll flesh it out more over this week. Things are a bit crazy both at work and at home till after Saturday. So hopefully I can finish it slowly but if not I know that next week will be much better for me.

I like it BS, and let me know if I'm off in any of my background on you that I included. I assume you had no objection to the family name or the tribal name (Always subject to your approval since you came up with it first).

No I think you've done a wonderful job on this, I have no issues with the family name just little sister's first name. It might change so keep your find and replace tool handy. ;)

Norna - Means fate btw.

Mighty masterwork Comp bow.

I fixed this. :)

Bront said:
You also need point blank shot to take precise shot (Not sure if you just wrote down the wrong feat, or had something else in mind)

Where did you see this? I've looked my character sheet over and I only find point blank shot listed. (Precise shot isn't even on my, "hey remember this feat, you idiot, list" so I've not been able to find it. Even with the search function.

Anyhow, I’ll try to spend the rest of the money tonight... Most of that work is looking in books while writing the background is mostly done at the PC. (Right now my PC is hooked up to a normal TV set. You loose so much many pixels doing this that it’s really not fun to be at the PC. Luckily I have foxfire on my PC and I can zoom in on the text in the browser.)

Anyhow, I can tell you that most of the time I would really just pass at the chance to join a game in these circumstances but I really like the concept of this game. :D
