^^ Hiya Shadowstartheleader
!!!
So, we said we wanted a darker fantasy style, kind of d&d-esque, right???

Yup!!
Are you okay with dark, depressing themes?
-
Yeah, I'd rather my stories have darker elements to them, honestly ^^ I'm definitely up for some mature themes/plots
I can't wait till this new account restriction is off so I don't have to wait 300 seconds between posts, or not talk privately with more than 3 people -.- -
Okay cool. I really prefer those as well. Is suicidal thoughts too depressing of a topic?
The limit is really annoying, I wish it was a bit less stringent.
I'm thinking of having a Druid/Sorcerer mix. Is that too weird of acombo in your opinion? I know its unusal. I want to have someone living in a city but with a little bit of animosity towards the city--kind of as a motivation for leaving?
And is it okay if I have more than one character?
-
No, I think that would be alright.
And I don't mind what kind of characters you make, or how many of them ^^
I'm still trying to decide on what kind of characters I'll make myself, actually lolI could use an old D&D Character I used to have? She's a dragonborn wizard ^^ She did... die in the campaign she was in, but this isn't that campaign! XD I'll probably figure out another, too
-
Just....we'll call it a new reality! xD she gets a second chance.
should we draft up a form or something like that?
I'll probably have a human or a half-elf(as my main).
-
Hahhaa, yeah! XD
And yeah, a form might be good, just to get basics and stuff in. ^^ I'm sure super deep backstories can just be elaborated on later lmfaoI'm still thinking about having someone else as main since I've done Maldrith before... hmmm... I don't know, I'll have to make one, but I know I AM using Maldrith again in some way ^^

Age: 17 years
Image(as a reference, look more to the description for specifics):

Physical Description: Shadow stands at an average height for a male, currently at 5'8''. He has dark brown hair accompanied by similar chocolate-brown eyes. He sits his bed of hair over his ears to hide his half-elf roots. He wears light leather armour and primarily makes use of a bow and arrow, or alternatively, a longsword with a hand free for spellcasting.
Class Description: Fighter 1/Druid 1. Shadow was young when his mother, an adventurer herself, began helping him learn the basics of fighting, sending him on the path of a Fighter. At her death, he departed on his own to find a job in the city; he figured adventuring was the only shot he had. This adventuring led him on a quick journey to hunt down a city brigand; here he found a starved wolf which he fed after ending the brigand. Since then, the creature has followed him around. He does not know, yet, that he can cast spells.
History: Shadow never elaborates about his past to others. He wears a deep scar just below his neck that speaks to some awful wound he once had; he seems to have no family and no one other than his wolf, Lavender.
Personality: Quiet, reserved, and calm. Something always seems to be on Shadow's mind, never slipping from his thoughts. When he doesn't seem to be brooding silently, he displays a calm and collected demeanor in both battle and conversation with others. He seems to lack humor. What can be said for him is a steadfast interest in keeping his allies(though he currently has but one, his wolf) alive and healthy. He seems to feel guilt whenever he fails his allies in some way.
Notable extras: He carries a necklace with a small, brilliant emerald embedded in the center. He never wears it on his neck, instead keeping it locked in a small case attached to his belt.
-
I'm hoping I'll get a form in sometime soon ^^' sorry, it seems every time I think I'll have time, someone wants to hang out or needs me to go someplace

Age: 17
Physical Description: Luminous, sometimes called "Lumi", "Lumo", "Lumin", is a slim woman from both tiefling and elven decent, leading to her almost sun elf- like colors. It is easier for her to hide her tiefling heritage this way, as she can hide her smaller horns under a cloak. She never takes off her mask or cloak when in public, and keeps her tail hidden away in her pant leg to keep away suspicion of her tiefling side, leaving most to assume she's a sun elf. She stands at a height of 5'5, but otherwise seems rather small and thin for her age.
I imagine the image of her is fairly accurate except for her eyes, which will instead be like that of a sun elves, with pupils and irises of gold.Class Description: Bard (2) Luminous had been taught by an old man who had become homeless due to a bout of bad luck, despite her father's wishes for her. She now uses the skills she had learned from the old man to gain whatever coin possible with her lute, whether it be in a tavern or a street corner.
History: Luminous was born with a sun elven father and a tiefling mother, though her mother had left them for unknown reasons when Luminous was just a toddler. After many troubles, she eventually ran off to the city, for reasons that she keeps to herself.
Personality: Luminous is said to give off a mysterious, yet calming vibe to those around her, and her speech patterns often make her seem rather composed. She doesn't seem to hide emotions, however. She simply has a way of keeping them under control- or at least she makes it seem that way. She is rarely seen outside of a performance setting and mindset, though she is known to be kind, and will sometimes play for those on hard times, such as soldiers or the sick.
Notable extras:
- Can play the lyre, the lute, and the bowed psaltery, but only owns a lute- Despite the fancy gold mask and black, golden-stitched cloak, Luminous lives in poverty and the rest of her clothes are that of a commoner, her only other jewelry being the earrings in her ears, which are hardly ever seen anyway due to her hood always hiding all but her face and hair.
Sorry that took so long ^^' I'll have to post something for maldrith here later, I won't be using her for a bit anyway.

Age: 264 years
Physical Description: Lauriel has light peach skin, complimented by green eyes and light auburn hair. She has a muscular build, the result of her years of fighter training.
Class Description: Fighter 6. Lauriel has had many year of fighter training, due in part to her past and in part to her adventuring career.
History: Lauriel has never spoken of her past. Clearly, it bred her into an excellent warrior.
Personality: Lauriel exudes a wise and calm aura, deploying a tactical mind in battle and a cautious diplomacy in tense situations. In most situations, she looks to see if violence can be avoided and lives can be saved. She grows quite irritated with people who display arrogance or overconfidence beyond reason.
Notable extras: Lauriel won't be a party member in the typical sense; she is over the level of the normal party. Instead, she will eventually be wrapped in to play an advising and mentor role.
It is unknown to everyone, but Lauriel is a Drow. She makes use of a magical artefact she heard of in a story, which allows her to adopt the facial features of a high elf.
-
ooooh, she's cool! :0
-
That was the goal!! :D(also, i edited her age. i forgot elves are like, really old.)
Age: 38 years
Image:

Physical Description: Of average height for a halfling, Ariel is a sturdily built yet slender woman. She is early in her adventuring career and isn't built like a seasoned adventurer. She has dark blue eyes and a bed of blond hair.
Class Description: Paladin 2, Sorcerer 1(abandoned). Ariel is a follow of Pelor. Her faith is not unwavering, assometimes she feels more at home with the goddess of the halflings, Yondalla. Either way, she follows a light path, using magic to heal and bolster her allies. She wields a mace and shield.
History: Ariel left her home because of strong family disagreements. The path she sought in life was very different from that she was being forced into. She came to the city to begin an adventuring career, leaving behind her former roots.
Personality: Ariel seems to have a highly cheerful and carefree character. She is constantly making jokes and trying to make light of a dangerous situation to keep her companions from feeling down in spirits. Overall, her nature seems to be to bring up the aprty's spirits.
Though she allows no one to be privy to this, her cheery and joking nature is something of a mask over the sadness and the lack of acceptance she feels from her family.
-
^^ Great! I love all your characters so far! I'll try to put more of my own up soon!!!
-
Cool!
-
Okay so we have a bard, 2 fighters (one multiclassing druid), and a paladin multiclassing sorcerer :0 hmmm... Well, I'll make Maldrith's, so we'll get a wizard, and I can probably level her down from her character sheet lol. I could perhaps make a ranger for another character? Though I don't quite know how I'll build him yet.
Age: 34
Image: I have an actual commission my brother drew me for Maldrith, but the site says that it's too large for me to upload? D: I'll figure out a way to get it so you can see her.
Physical Description: Maldrith is a nearly 7ft tall white dragonborn with blue eyes, horns, and green scholar's robes with small glasses resting on her snout. Though her large frame can be intimidating, one look into her eyes would calm just about anyone. She carries a quarterstaff along with a satchel that has a strange seal over it, keeping everyone out except for her or those with her expressed permission.
Class Description: Wizard (3) Maldrith has studied in her clan's libraries for all her life, leaving her with much knowledge of histories, spells, artifacts, and important locations.
History: Maldrith comes from a clan of dragonborn in the northern mountains, and was a cloistered scholar under her grandmother of the same name. That is about all she tends to tell unless she believes it is worthwhile to tell her story, not liking to linger on herself and have people worry on her.
Personality: Maldrith is certainly awkward and somewhat strange in her demeanor, not hiding her curiosities and often doting like a mother over plenty of children. Though she isn't quite shy, she still doesn't quite find herself as a coordinated and noble type, as most scholars are assumed to be like. She spent so much time with books and spells and learning, that she didn't have many social experiences outside of the lessons with her grandmother as well as the occasional talk with others in the library. Despite this, she is shown to be incredibly kind and generous, often choosing to help even when there is no talk of a reward.
Notable extras: Maldrith is often seen checking a small, old leather notebook with several tabs inside, though she immediately puts it away once she notices anyone trying to look into it or ask her of it.
-
Looks great! A ranger could work.
Now...we should develop some conflicts for a party to face.

Age: 42
Physical Description: Halstein, or "Hal", is a beefy man with surprising dexterity and flexibility, along with the strength to pack the right punch. Hal is surprisingly good at keeping himself hidden, and he's incredibly quick and agile. His tattoos along his dominant arm are actually several small runes pressed together to form the overall design, and they seem to shine or glow when he releases a rather powerful shot.
Class Description: Ranger (6) Hal has been acquainted with the bow all his life, and most of his childhood had been spent hunting and living on the land. He does, however, seem to have an odd vibe around him, almost that of something magical, despite having never studied anything of the sort.
History: Hal has told just about no one about his life, and when asked, simply states, "I have lived in the forest." or "I'm but a hunter", leaving those questioning of him to their own devices
Personality: Hal is silent and almost seems to be the broody sort, a cold silence taking his place in most conversations, and leaving things less to words and more to actions. Despite his mysterious and off-putting personality, he tends to lean toward justice.
Notable extras: Halstein's eyes are rather piercing, and he for some reason does his best to keep from actually locking eyes with someone.
Hmmm... :0 I'll have to think about some stuff. I know I had a place with some plots for dnd and all written down, just have to find them or try and adapt them to this.
-
Well, I have a couple conflicts in mind which relate directly to a couple of my characters. I'm just thinking, it would be good to maybe have a villain or two in mind for the future, or a couple problems they have to deal with. Its not critical to think too ffar ahead i guess, i just tend to do that.
-
Hahaha, no, it's fine, I get you ^^
I have one or two villain ideas that I could probably re-purpose here, but one is SUPER dark and not the most original, while the other I'd have to work on a bit since it would be a little bit more political
