Q'Barra: Facing Truth (New Campaign Recruitment)

[ethandrew]

Alright, we're getting down to the last hour. If anyone still wants to submit a character, now is the time!

I'll post a final list of submissions, and then I'll have the final party posted this evening.

The tension is palpable! Every character is excellent, I don't envy your position right now!

 

[Pebele]

Well, it's after noon, so here's the final list of submissions:

EvolutionKB: Kaelan Tahlinali (Jin), Changling (Elf) Ranger/Fighter
Yeoman: Catherine Valeska, Human Healer/Knight/Fighter/Marshal
Ethandrew: Lucien Wildrose, Human Ranger
Shayuri: Trebuchet, Warforged Warmage
Rolzup: Darrick ir'Davven, Human Knight/Marshal
Brother Allard: Swift, Shifter Ranger
Rookseye: Sepoto, Shifter Monk of the Closed Fist (Ninja)
Ivellious: Lam (Lucia), Changling Fighter/Rogue
Craw Hammerfist: Rheklyn de Syb, Human Diviner
BRP2: Charles Feyheart, Human Scout

I will look these submissions over and make my final decision this evening. Check back here to see the final party.

 

[Pebele]

I want to start by saying that I am very impressed with how great all the characters were. I had a hard time coming to this decision. I want to thank everyone for their submissions.

No one was left unchosen because they had a bad character. I simply had to decide which characters I thought would mesh the best.

So, here is the final party:

EvolutionKB: Kaelan Tahlinali (Jin), Changling (Elf) Ranger/Fighter
Yeoman: Catherine Valeska, Human Healer/Knight/Fighter/Marshal
Shayuri: Trebuchet, Warforged Warmage
Rolzup: Darrick ir'Davven, Human Knight/Marshal
Rookseye: Sepoto, Shifter Monk of the Closed Fist (Ninja)
BRP2: Charles Feyheart, Human Scout

I would appreciate if you all could let me know if you are still interested in playing. Also, if you can all use this space to merge your characters, that would be great.

When the game starts, I will ask that everyone use a different color for their speech, so here would be a good place to get that all decided as well.

I will start both an OOC Thread and the Game Thread probably on Monday.

Again, thank you to everyone for the great submissions. If you'd like me to keep your characters in mind for alternates, please let me know. I'd be more than happy to have any of them on the second line.

 

[BRP2]

Woo! I'm looking forward to it!

Also, if you can all use this space to merge your characters, that would be great.

Hmm, I don't completely understand what you mean. Do you mean write each other into our background bios or something similar?

Anyway, I call the color Green.

 

[EvolutionKB]

Fantastic.

Hmm, I don't completely understand what you mean. Do you mean write each other into our background bios or something similar?

Here is the quote from the first page:

Once all members of the party have been chosen, we’ll work on integrating their backgrounds here before the in-character thread starts. All characters must know each other, whether they have a positive relationship or negative relationship. This will be your first exercise in teamwork.

I'll take royal blue

On another note, I can see Kaelan and Charles forming a bond because of their hatred and similar circumstances involving lizardfolk.

 

[Rolzup]

Dim Gray for me, if it's visible enough.

As to the more important matters, I'll look folks over and think some thoughts. I can certainly see Catherine and Darrick being reluctant rivals, of a sort.

 

[BRP2]

Oh wow, how did I miss that? Okay, this sounds like a lot of fun. Hmm, I'll have to examine everyones profile a little more, I skimmed only a few.

 

[Shayuri]

Definitely still interested!

I'll take Red!

As for background, anyone who's been in fights against the lizards probably has at least seen Trebuchet. He's not terribly subtle.

In particular anyone with a military background, or who's in the Academy could easily be a friend of Treb...

 

[EvolutionKB]

Kaelan would definately see the warforged warmage as a curiosity at first. Warforged aren't real common in Valenar, and from the sounds of it they are pretty rare at the academy as well. I could see Kaelan approaching the friendly warforged, curious at first, then respected, after he saw what he can do to some lizardfolk.

 

[BRP2]

Hmm okay, this is just up in the air for now but:

Kaelan Tahlinali - Hmm yeah, these guys should be good friends and allies. I don't know who suffered their lost first, but if Charles's group was slaughtered after Kaelan's then perhaps Kaelan, in addition to Brick, helped Charles get through it. They also have training in the same areas which means they would be in some of the same classes.

How strong is Kaelan's hatred for Lizardfolk? Charles is a little more subtle than pure hate, almost like an extremely strong dislike. I could see their difference in how much they hate their enemies make for interesting drama. (Sorry for like totally ripping you off ;x I didn't read your character's profile when I wrote mine lol, but hey maybe it'll be a good thing)


Catherine Valeska - Because the great difference of their combat styles, Charles and Catherine probably never got to know each other well. Charles naturally respects the "Knightly" image, but can be bothered by the strict nature of it. Charles always respects those who lead.

Trebuchet - Charles probably is or was a little distant from Trebuchet because of him being a Warforged. That can/has been put aside the moment he saw Trebuchet's skills in combat. Considering they both seem to be interested in combat from a "fun" perspective, they could have a lot to talk about.

Darrick ir'Davven - A lot of what can said for Catherine can be said for Darrick.

Sepoto - Seeing how they both seem to be playful people, they could be or have been friends once Charles got over his appearance. Charles loves good humor and would laugh often at Sepoto's jokes. If they were friends, its likely Charles severed the tie after the scout party incident.
