History: Argento is the son of Brennon Lilham, a famed weaponsmith. (Expert-8) Although he learned some of his father's trade, his heart was more in the tales of adventure and glory that customers of his father would tell him while waiting for their gear. Against his father's wishes, he has taken up arms in search of his own personal glory - not knowing that glory is a fickle beast, and that most who quest end up not in the embrace of glory, but in the embrace of death.
Argento is brash and fearless. He has a tendancy to put his foot in his mouth occasionally, but he's wise enough to know when he's gotten in over his head.

DK32, just a couple of notes, profession is a wisdom skill, not intelligence. Also you might want to note that the character has spot and listen +3 when nevermore is near.

DK 32,
Welcome to the Braxus campaign. I have been playing in this setting for some time and it is an excellent place to cut your D&D teeth.
Your stats are off by 2 points. If you notice, you listed the cost for a 14 CON as 4 points when actually it is 6...reducing your Con to 12 will even up your stats and place you within the 25 point restriction.
You did an excellent job of developing your background, by the way.

Background: Scathach is a capricious upstart among the Sidhe. That is to say, compared to the generally disinterested and content elders of his people, he wishes to make his mark on the world. Headstrong and convinced of his own superiority, Scathach has yet to learn fear. He journeys to the lands of Men because his homeland is, in his opinion, hopelessly stagnant and requires an outside viewpoint. Any patriotism attributed to Scathach is misinterpreted- his ego is first and foremost, and in his opinion the world was made for his sole enjoyment.
He isn't particularly large or small for a Sidhe, at 6'1" and 150 lbs. The religion of humans amuses him and, despite any inappropriateness, he wears a long tailored red garment that is similar enough to cause confusion, though not identical to, the robes of many high clergy (think of a Cardinal in the Catholic church) over his black studded leather armor. At his waist is a fine sword of exclusively elven make, and a beautifullly inlaid long (over 2 feet) steel flute hangs from his belt as well.

I fixed up my stats. Instead of dropping con I dropped strength and intelligence each by a point. William spent most of his days working on the field and has gotten into very good shape.
Thanks for the compliment on the background. But to be honest, I'm not sure if I really like it. It's a good origin and a good length but something about the writing style just irks me. I can never seem to make a background as good as they sound in my head.

What's the party so far? As I can see, so far we have:
2 Human Fighters
1 Sorceror
1 Druid or Shaman
1 Hexblade
Is this right?
If that's the case I'll definitely opt for a rogue. Have him up

tentative character
OK here's what I have on my character initially.
I havcent decided exactly where he's from or grew up. My general idea is to have him from Necrovidia but grew up in a large city either nearby or in Necrovidia. What cities would you suggest? I'm thinking of a large, cosmopoliton city. Hajavik perhaps?
Also, could you describe the geography of Necrovidia a bit more? Is Dortlund part of it or neighboring it? What are the other bordering lands?
Here's the character so far. When I understand the geography better I'll give a name, background, and might make soem changes.

Hey Guys,
Great characters so far. Thanks for jumping as quickly as you did. I believe I will close this now with Johnsemlak being the last character in the group. A few comments...
Nameless_excellent concept for a sidhe wanderer. I'll give you a bit of back ground later on today.
Johnsemlak_There really aren't any cities in Necrovidia, but Hajavik in neighboring Dortlund is quite large, I believe a large city in fact by std DMG definitions. It's quite likely that your young Rogue grew up there as there would be a substantial number of hjalmar refugees who have sought a better life there. Check out my brief description of Necrovidia in the game thread if you haven't already. If you need more info, I can provide that later today. I have a very simple map of the lands of braxus that I'll attach here in the OOC thread later on today.
I'll try to work the group into the story today as well.
