Sorry to intrude.
I just wanted to say that if ever a space becomes available (after gnomeworks of course
) then i'd love to take part, I'm just about to head off to university so my current gaming is going to take a nose dive and such a brilliant sounding world just seemed too tempting. Seriously I love the influences (princess mononoke rocks) and it sounds really fascinating.
I'll be watching closely, have fun everyone
. As I said before I hope I'm not intruding. Thanks again.

Hey, Arken, no problem. I'm flattered.
The PbP is moving quite slowly at the moment, I guess my players are just busy with their own things. I'm sort of torn about adding more to the already wide cast. On the one hand, it'd guarentee at least something going on daily, but I don't know if I have the DMing skills to handle it.
I mean, we've already got Dimbrilion, Carrie, Christian, Zinovii, and Kail.
What do you guys (my players) think? Add more characters? And are you guys just way busy, or what?

I was a little busy with packing for the move in tomorrow (had to go track down a few random items ><), and I think Neowolf mentioned the problem with that virus that was going around.
Dave_o its really your call on how many players you want, I say go with the number that you are comfortable handling. Yes, I know that was the easy way out

A player or two added would be fine with me, but as squirrel said, it is your call. I'd post more, but I don't want to be a flooder. I am sure the action will perk up soon enough.

GnomeWorks, you were first in line, so - rock me out a character according to the guidlines in this thread.
I'll introduce you to the game ASAP. Odds are, if you just make a character who is being recruited for the Troupe, I can just have you be around the next time the rest of the party sees Jasper.

Description
Eyes - Brown
Hair - Blonde
Height - 2' 1"
Weight - 19 lbs.
Age - 18
Background
On a smaller island in the Grendel Islands, eighteen years ago, a young halfling girl washed up on shore with a few pieces of driftwood that appeared as though they were from a ship that had been destroyed - and their charred appearance also gave the onlooker the idea that the ship had been destroyed by flame. There was one inhabitant of that very small island, an aged halfling who had once been a well-known master of the unarmed arts. He took the young girl in, and fed her and cared for her - and also trained her. Only a few days after he found her, she swore an oath that she would not speak until she had killed those who had killed her parents. She did not speak again, and for six long years, the two did not say a word to each other, their daily routine never changing. For six years, she trained under him, lived with him, and though there was no speech between them, they came to know each other.
However, after those six years, those who had killed her parents evidently learned of her existence, as well. They came in the dark of the night, killed the old halfling, and burned the home in which the two lived. They attempted to kill her, but they failed - her own skills were well-honed enough that she could fight them off. Having no home, she commandeered the ship that had brought the assailers to her home, and wandered the world for a time. During this time, she considered her situation.
Though she had bested those who had destroyed her home, she had done so barely - she had to rest several days in the small boat before she could move without pain. Alone, she could not handle her foes, and she knew this... if there were three who attacked her on the island, then surely there would be dozens more, at least. She had to continue her training, but the old master was dead... if she could find a group that would be willing to help her, perhaps she could finally go out in search of those who killed her parents and her teacher and destroy them, avenging her family.
Now, for seven years, she has wandered the countryside and the sea, looking for opportunities to improve her skills and leads as to where she could find her parents' assassins... in some places, she has found some things, but not enough for anything that could be of true use. Those who know of her call her the Silent One, and if she has a real name, she has never shared it. None who have seen her have ever heard her speak - she has used hand signals or writing to communicate. And she never stays in the same place for long - once she finds that there is nothing in a place that will lead her to those who killed her parents, she moves on, seeking and hunting after rumors and tales...
Personality
Some would say she's a vigilante. And they'd be right - when she encounters law-breakers, she breaks them in retribution. Some would say she's a mercenary. And they'd be right - she'll take almost any job for the right pay.
One thing is certain, though. She doesn't like the Empire. As much as she is a vigilante, she is also a rebel - she'd take out those who broke the law and those who enforced it in one job at the same time. She seemed to be the agent and enforcer of her own kind of justice.
Some would say she's a demon. And they'd be right - her combat skills are rarely matched, and she fights like a whirlwind. Some would say she's an angel. And they'd be right - she looks out for the innocent and puts others before herself.

Two things I ran into using the 3.5 SRD - you can't throw 3 shurikens in a round, and you don't apply your strength modifier to thrown weaponry (or not that I could find).
Would you prefer me to go with that, or keep it 3e?
