Rediscovery of the World - 4e (OOC)

[sblock=voda]ok. Let's say he has faint memories of a great conflict he doesn't remember the details of. ok? as soon as WD and, hopefully, graf, post their characters you'll start too. If you want to add or change feel free to do so in the meantime ^^ [/sblock]

Is my initial concept ok?

Malek is a hire of an infernal bloodline with many infernal warlocks in it. He abhors this self-induced slavery and searched for other means of powers. Finally he succeeded in 'optaining' an obscure text about astronomy and astrology from the Apprentices of the Stars, that shows the method how to make a pact with the creatures that live in the void between the stars. He gladly made the pact, requiering some strange oaths, but not the kind of servitude most infernal pacts require.

Kicker follows in sblock.

Possible Powers:

Eldritch Blast
Glow of Ulban

Dreadful Word
Crown of Stars


Str 11 Dex 12 Wis 10
Con 14 Int 16 Cha 1
8

Starfire Womb
 

Oh! I was waiting for the full sheet. Didn't realize you were waiting too :)
Yes it is ok. Maybe Malek might be born from the oligarchy of Thum-Binyas(see 1st post of the thread)? You may want to give your character a "hook" or something like that.
I'd like the campaign to develop in a way that you, the players, substantially contribute to decide.

-What's his story?
Malek is a hire of an infernal bloodline with many infernal warlocks in it. He abhors this self-induced slavery and searched for other means of powers. Finally he succeeded in 'optaining' an obscure text about astronomy and astrology from the Apprentices of the Stars, that shows the method how to make a pact with the creatures that live in the void between the stars. He gladly made the pact, requiering some strange oaths, but not the kind of servitude most infernal pacts require.

-Where does he come from?
Malek was born and raised in the greatest city-state of the continent, Thum-Binyas. His natural intelligence and charisma brought him to the local 'secret' magic academy. Here he used his family's ressources to investigate into some old and nearly discarded tomes. After winning a formal duel versus Tliak Moden, he flew pact with some infernal master (the duel earned him the right to become the next pact-bound) and the city. Now he lives in Nesiah, heeding to the whispers in his dreams on the search for his true destiny.

-What's his personality?
A bit dark and calculating, he isn't evil per se, but hasn't yet expirienced the true values of sacrifice and friendship, but is up to learn them...

-Why is he an adventurer?
Profit and exploration. You never know what you may found in the next tomb.

Hooks:
- And there are the whispers...
- Tilak Moden, who made the pact Malek renounced, hunts the defector.

Great! I like the duel idea. I hadn't thought of something like that. Also, very promising hooks :)
As I asked the other players, if you want you can make a "wish list" of levels two-three from yours that you'd like to find. If you want the surprise, that's alright too. ^^
 

Who are the other two characters? Need some info to decide if we should know each other.

And, btw, who is the third new player? I only saw myself and VV in the thread.
 

I noticed Graf was complaining several of his games have died, so I invited him to join us, so hopefully he'll be the third. The other two players (the original ones left) are Redclaw with Isdar and Garyh with Oak. You can find them here.
The original kicker was a letter that the characters had received inviting them to meet the new-founded guild of the Fellows of the Unknown Path, in Nesiah. You can decide individually if you have indeed received a similar letter or not.
 

Hmm the last thing Graf said about this was:
I actually saw you start your game, and regretted missing the window at the time. I really appreciate being asked... But realistically it'd be close to a week before I can even make a character. Judging is.... there is a lot of email/issues to address (sorta my fault but...). Yesterday I almost pm'd you to ask if you were reopening; but then I sat back and looked at the list of things to do....
Did you told him to make the character anyway?
