Savage Tide! (Recruiting Closed, Players Selected!)

Work in progress...

Anar Tovanni

[sblock]
Class Concept: Rogue/Fighter, moving in a Shadowdancer/Dervish direction. Possibly Duelist.
(Obviously, he’ll have to build into this as the character develops, assuming the campaign lasts that long.)

Most likely stat arrangement:
28 pt buy – Str 14, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 8, Cha 14
32 pt buy – Str 14, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 8, Cha 14

[/sblock]

Young and dashing, Anar is a man of great passion and little conviction. He has a great love of ships, swordplay, women and strong drink, but lacks the discipline to stick with any one of his loves. After all, variety is the spice of life, or so he will lead you to believe.

Anar grew up on the streets of a busy port town, and early on took to hanging about the docks. With a keen interest in meeting people from the far corners of the world, Tovanni would take to talking to strangers and learning what he may. Eloquent and likeable, it was an easy thing for him to get folk to open up and share their experiences.

Confident, yet careful, Anar tries to avoid trouble where he may. He has trained his eyes and ears to spot trouble before it starts, and Tovanni is a firm believer that discretion is the better part of valor. Talkative and pleasant, Anar is a deal maker, and believes that if one takes the time, most situations can be solved through negotiation.

At 6’ even and a trim 175 pounds, Anar has a tone, athletic build. His raven hair is nearly shoulder length, and a broad white smile is ever-present upon his face. His eyes are the color of the sea after a storm, and his handsome features make him quite popular with the ladies. Anar is quite taken with dressing in fine clothing, and always tries to maintain a clean, immaculate appearance.

You know, I'm surprised no one has proposed a ninja yet to show those stupid pirates!

Kalenestarianthalus Floriandin gray elven beguiler

To hear the mountain elf tell it, he won knowledge of illusions from the demon prince Fraz Urb Lu and a frost giant jarl after besting all comers at cards in Queen Titania's faerie court. His enchantments were taught by the green dragon Matsuu Dargus before she disappeared from the world in a cloud of ravens. A djinn blessed him with an eye for trapspringing after he released the air spirit from a brass bottle trap. He has travelled the Wild Coast, the Kingdom of Dream, and the Courts of the Fey.

Kalenestarianthalus Floriandin is a gray elf beguiler. Like most elves magic came easily to Kalen. He dove into the mysteries of mind magic, the arts of illusion and enchantment. Reality and truth are states of mind he bends to his will. He has a wanderlust to see and experience the wonders and charms of the worlds, both real and imagined. Not one to brood, Kalen faces life's challenges with optimism and good humor.

Taller and grander appearing than typical high elves, Kalen is a handsome golden haired gray elf. His violet eyes are full of amusment and self confidence. He typically attires himself in striking clothes of silver cloth.

Are you saying to fight pirates you need REAL ULTIMATE POWER?

I'm afraid that neither pirates or ninjas have a chance against Wizards and Clerics! They have the REAL ULTIMATE POWER. Maybe I need to put together a website.

 

[Tonks]

Speaking of power, I am thinking of using one of Damash's Feats to gain access to the Storm Domain and show that as Damash has traveled he has began to take on the slow boiling anger of the sea. From there he would maybe take a few lvls in the Stormcaster PrC if we go far enough and I get picked up for it..

Although if I made the Hadozee I could almost have a monkey ninja pirate which spells fun for the entire family!

Tonks-

While the storm cleric would probably be more useful to the party, you cannot beat the Monkey Ninja Pirate for sheer coolness.

EDIT: It looks like a couple of you guys are fleshing out your concepts; I was not sure if I should do that now, or wait to hear for the selected list?

 

[Tonks]

I went ahead and typed up the backstory because it was burning a hole in my mind and I needed to get it out. I know that the deadline is a long way away, but when the spirit hits you, you just let it flow..

Yeah, nothing says fun like monkies with blades and mad ninja skills!

 

[A'koss]

Well, if everyone else is going to do it... ;-)

Valin Kholgard

To say that the sea is in Valin's blood is very likely not far from the truth. For every third or forth generation the house of Kholgard has seen a son or daughter born with an unusual aptitute (or perhaps more accurately, adaptation) for the sea. It has always been seen as a mixed blessing however as every Kholgard who has possessed this rare trait has an unwavering predilection to attract trouble in a manner similar to that of otyughs attracting flies or dragons and gold-lusting adventurers...

Valin certainly did not need much encouragement to seek his fortune far from the shores of the Wild Coast where he was raised. Since he was old enough to scrub a ship deck, Valin has always had one eye on the distant horizon, sailing with both merchant and mercenary warships to any port he had not yet seen. Valin developed a wide variety of useful skills growing up in seedy port towns and aboard ship with questionably motivated captains. Only Valin's skill in getting out of trouble exceeded his in finding it, but he wouldn't have it any other way. "Who wants a dull life anyway...?"

As he grew older he developed a keen love of maps and cartography and in recent years began training as a ship's pilot. Over the last year Valin has kept his own rutter (which he values almost as much as his own life) and detailed journal of his travels (might be an interesting RP element in this game?). Valin's eye is still on the distant horizon and desires to one day pilot-captain the single greatest ship on the sea and fill in a few of those blanks still left on the map...

rowport, you're certainly welcome to flesh out your concept more now, if you want to. If nothing else, it gives me more to go on, as far as your creativity, and your writing skills.

Having said that, I may ask my selected six players to modify their backgrounds, if it makes it easier to integrate the character into the setting, or assemble the party.

And, some people don't like to invest a lot of time creating a background for a character that may or may not get selected for the game, which I can understand. So it's totally up to you.
