[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6766383, member: 11146"] I think most of us struggle with the perennial "do-I-go-with-Human-or-Variant-Human" internal debate. This is a little stream of consciousness, hope you don't mind the lack of focus [MENTION=6799753]lowkey13[/MENTION]. You've given me a nice plot hook in the "bound to service" and "greatest honor for any Haruchai" aspects, thanks for that. Reminds me a little of the Unsullied from Game of Thrones. Brinn is a good name for PbP; we'll be typing it a lot, so short and sweet is good. Otherwise, we're apt to come up with a god-awful nickname for your character! I LOVE the idea that a portal opened to the Realms from another world. It's nice that you've anticipated this quirk and that it's purposeful. It'll fit well with the "whimsy" theme that is woven into the adventure, too. Don't feel like my excitement locks you into it, though. If the portal doesn't make the final cut of your draft, no worries. A drow raiding party is pretty much dead-on for what the drow have been doing in OotA, and would also work nicely as a character hook. Maybe check out the OotA Bonds I posted in the OP, see if any of those take you in a particular direction. And feel free to invent your own custom bond, of course. That'll be fun to rp. Can't wait to mess with Brinn's head about that! I'm a fan of broken. I like characters with flaws. Not only are their flaws useful mechanically to me as DM, but I think they're entertaining to watch as the character reacts to their environment. Plus, flaws are fun to roleplay! Will Brinn be an anti-hero? Beg to differ about being an underachiever, [MENTION=23298]industrygothica[/MENTION]! I [I]know[/I] whatever character you dream up will come to life during play. You could take Race: Potato and Class: Sack and make it shine, yeah? See?! BRILLIANT. On point buy versus rolling stats...these days I always use point buy for PbP, but I still roll characters for tabletop. Funny, that. [/QUOTE]
