Song of the Deep - OOC

Okay. After doing some FR-based research, this is what I've come up with. Please tell me if it contradicts any specific aspects of the Realms. >>;


Kyren Fogborn
Human Male
Chaotic Good Sor1
Str 10, Con 12, Dex 8, Wis 11, Int 14, Cha 17 (28-point buy)

Hailing from the slopes and valleys of Archendale, Kyren Fogborn was brought up in a reasonably prosperous family of cooks, merchants, and tradesmen. Never especially concerned with the politics of the area, he lead a peaceful life - until the day when, at the age of sixteen and during an argument with his older brother, he shot him with a spontaneous Ray of Frost.

Although the brother wasn't badly hurt, the family agreed that, nevertheless, it would be a good idea for their son to get some training for this new ability. Following rumors of a strange old man who lived behind a waterfall, they entrusted Kyren to an old three-sixteenths dragon. Under this mentor's teutelage, he grew strong in the mystic arts, until the day came to trek out on his own.

Adventuring runs in his blood - his older brother is the well-known warrior Janus Fogborn, and it's rumored that his aunt was once Dalilah Sharpoint, warrior princess of the wastes.


Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, yay!

Ory Willowfarthing - Stoutheart Halfling Fighter: Ory is an outback halfling, often wearing a broadbrimmed hat and looking much of the backwater farmer type. He is a happy fellow, although never taking up his fathers trade of farming, although he's a sharp learner, he put a lot of his wit into perfecting the halfling habit of throwing stones. Naive when it comes to city folk, he is straightforward and prefers a handshake to the wordiness of others. He often carries with him a sling and halfling skiprocks which he finds so enjoyable to flip like coins. (rolled stats)

I LOVE Ory, Ferrix!!! :)
 


Aren Bluebeard - human sorceror - Aren grew up as the second son of
a farmer in Featherdale. He was a disappointment to his father as he was
not very strong and somewhat of a klutz.

Upon reaching puberty, Aren's facial hair started to grow in blue. This scared
his father, and since he didn't like Aren anyway, he kicked Aren out on his
own.

As Aren journeyed throughout the Dales, he took oddjobs to earn money
for food. On occasion he would have a period of enlightenment where he
would suddenly know some new power. These strange new powers and his
blue beard made him question his parentage. He talks to anyone with
blue facial hair in hopes of learning more about himself.

May I chip in?

Hey. Found this thread while browsing around tonight. I know I haven’t posted before, but here are a couple characters that I’d like to toss into the mix and hope I can join in on this adventure.

Feral Dwarven Barbarian (Savage Species template)
He’s a +1 ECL… and you probably shouldn’t let me do it, even with the minuses from the Faerun book (or heck, he could just be a Feral Dwarf, no class until second level) OK… I’m not going to waste time with the write up since I doubt this guy can be allowed. A Feral Dwarf says “Grrr grrr grrrrr! Grr?”

OK, my “real” first choice
Aasimar Paladin
20 years ago, a brave warrior defended a small shire from being overrun by an angry orc clan that had felt insulted by the humans living there. The warrior rallied the people and led them to a great victory, single-handedly slaying half of the attack force. But in the battle, he received a terrible wound from a weapon dipped in a nasty poison. A young girl nursed the hero back to health and, as a gift to her, the hero, who turned out to be a celestial being, granted her a child before leaving to some unknown destination.

The young girl, though proud to bear the child of a great hero, was ashamed to have no husband and, because she now was with child, would not be able to find a husband very easily. Though all would know it was the great Hero’s child, she could not face the accusations and so left the shire before she began to show, traveling far until she was ready to give birth. She found a church where she birthed the child and gave the boy up as an offering to the church. The high priest of the church took pity on the poor young woman and accepted her gift, for a celestial born child (for which he obviously was) was a rare and powerful offering. The High Priest named the boy Rhoen Silvermane, for his flowing silver hair.

The young girl left after weaning the boy and the priests never saw her again. Some believe she was struck down by the gods on her trip home for rejecting the gift bestowed to her.

Rhoen grew strong and tall. All the priests loved him and he served the church with zeal all his life as he studied the ways of the priests. When he was but a teenaged boy, a group of ruffians harassed the town the Church served. When the Magistrate was stabbed in the back by one of the ruffians while trying to break up a fight one of them had started with a local proprietor, the priests prayed to their gods and went to confront the evil men wielding their powers of faith. The boy, left behind for his protection, disobeyed for the first time and followed the priests. He later said that he was “told” to go, but by whom he could not say.

When the ruffians fell upon the priests, Rhoen rose up and smote them down with their own weapons. The folks of the town still speak of the glowing aura the engulfed the boy, the lightning like strikes he made, and the thunderous power with which he struck down the ruffian leader.

Realizing the boy was destined to be a hero, the priests hired a swordsman to train him the ways of the sword, all the while continuing his studies of the church. He grew stronger and wiser and became a talented swordsman.

But one night, not so long ago, the High Priest had a vision of Rhoen in a far off land and knew that the boy, now a man, had a destiny that he must fulfill. Supplying him as best they could, the boy headed out to meet his destiny.

Because he is Aasimar, he will have the negative modifiers listed above.

Ghostwise Halfling Druid
In case there are too many ECL shifts going around, this guy can be who I play.

Ogden Pathfinder learned the ways of his father, the tribe shaman who advised the chief and lead the people spiritually. Ogden’s tribe wandered the harsh northern lands for ages when they finally came upon Chondalwood, where they settled, at least as much as the nomadic tribe could settle.

When Ogden came of age, he was unable to find his “totem” and was sent on a “spirit quest” in which he had to leave the tribe until such time that the Great Spirit bestowed her blessing upon him and granted him his totem so that he could take over for his father as Shaman.

With a great heaviness in his heart, Ogden set out on his journey wondering what deeds he would have to perform to prove his worth.
