(WoT) The Finding of the Dragon OoC Thread- FULL

[Mithreander]

ya... I suppose, though it depends on how that whole transaction went. Someone who steals is inharently less trustworthy. What made you do it? Why did they trust you in the first place?

All you basically did was transfer the trust issue to the past with no explination... I would like the explination.

 

[ES2]

what about this: Let's say the white tower was hearing a rumor (a vicious rumor) that a person that looks like me in the area I live was a male channeler, and when they went looking for that person they found me instead. Upon my capture, they found out that I had no channeling powers at all, but instead of just letting me go, they require me to go on a mission for them. Either I accept, or something else happens to me (although as to what that is, I don't know).

As for more background, I was thinking I could be an only child raised by a single father (or mother), and one of them died while I was a child. It could be that they can help me find out how, or what, killed the one that died but only if I help them accomplish this mission of theirs. They could be lying, or they could be telling the truth.

Ok, heres how the whole thing happend

It had been a few weeks since he had gotten a job, and his reserve funds were near dry. Decideding to double his efforts, Juair went to someone who knew someone he knew. This person arranged a meeting with a woman (obviously Aes Sedai by her apperance), who gave her name as Tarya. She questioned him for a few hours on how an Athan'Me managed to be on dry land for a few months, and Athan'Me society. Juair was payed well for his time, and when he was getting up to leave, the woman mointed him back. She said a certin Tearin Lord, Lord Lebash. At the mention of the name, Juair started. He explained to the Aes Sedai, that shortly after being ship wrecked, this same Lord had refused him and his sisters food or shelter, and refused to give them so much as a mark. Juair had cursed his name, since Athan'Me tend to help nearly everyone (except Aes Sedai wanting passage, due to some things best kept secret). This Tarya Sedai wanted him to "retrive" a small ivory necklace set with saphires. Aparently it was very important to the Aes Sedai, but Juair took the hint that inquiring too much might be a bad idea. Deciding that if this Lord Lebash was a theif as well as a horrible person, it was only fair that he took the blow of losing this necklace. Juair used his stealth and guile to retrive the necklace, and covered his tracks. The Aes Sedai thanked him, and said she may contact him later, under a diffrent name, since this was an assumed one. Just as Juair seemed to be down and out again, a messanger came, with summons to see the Armylin.


That good enough? Oh, and I left the Aes Sedai and the Lord for you to flesh out, in case you ever needed someone to try and kill me later. Who dosnt love a good death threat?

Story: Ok I'm no writer...So I'll summarize. Mira Lived in a small village between two Rivers and Tar Valon. A number of years ago an Aes Sedi came to the village, noted her big sister, Alise, and took her to the tower. A few years later an Aes Sedai returned and tested Mira, and took her to the tower. She saw very little of her Big sister there, Mira was too busy!

After a (relativly) short time Mira took the Accepted test. I won't go into details (Because I haven't fully developed them yet) But the tests involved Mira, Alise, the Black Ajah, and the Dragon Reborn.

After the test, before she sould confront her sister about what she saw, Alise disapeared. All her questioning of the other sisters was met with half-truths and pointed 'business for full sisters, not for Accepted' sniffs huffs and shawl adjusting.

One could imagine that this could be a reason that the Amrylin summoned her to her office that day...?

Is this good?

ES2: But the Three Oaths prevent them from lying . Okay, the back ground is fine... and I know what happened to your father, who died when you were very young.

whatku Now that i can work with... infact plots and subplots are just popping in my head. It's good to be GM.

Todd: Very good background, though I may add some more detail to flesh it out, unless you ahve something specific. I'll more then likely do it during the game, because I tend to think of things on the spot, rather then in chunks. Good to have you aboard!

EVERYONE: I found my book this weekend (much rejoicing) and will go over your characters either today or tomorrow, and start the thread the following day, if there were no issues.

Kewl... I think one thing to remember though is that you either get your DEF bonus for your class OR the DEF bonus from armor... not both unless you are a 3rd level armsmen. Just an FYI as I think I have seen that a couple of time. NOT rules-lawyer honest
I am looking forward to this game, should be fun

Duh!!! *slaps self in head* No wonder my AC was so high to start with.

Well, I guess I shall have to change that then. I will when we post the characters into their own Rogue's Gallery (if we have one).

 

[Mithreander]

We will have a rogues gallery thread, but not until after I start to approve characters... any day now.

Sorry for the delay!

 

[firstborne]

I know this is kind of last-minute, but do you suppose you could squeeze one more in? I've got an idea for a character, and would live to play in a sane WoT game. (The only other person besides myself who'll run it at home is a little nuts. Lots of fades, Black Ajah, that sort of thing. It never ends.)

 

[Mithreander]

Can't say I'll be any better... but you're free to throw up a character for this game... if you think you can have it ready by the end of tomorrow. That's when I'm planning on starting.

Cheers!
