OOC Recrutement: Three Worlds Campaign

[Nomadic]

So then is this still a go? Cause I think I would certainly enjoy it.

One question though, if we know we will be gone sometime in the near future can we prepare in advance (either by having our character's disappear or via DM control of characters)?

[Xeviat]

Yes, that's just fine. I'll be gone for the next two days. I'll put some thought into getting things ready for Saturday; I'll put up an introductary post before you make characters. Talk amongst yourself about what you'd like to play and get everything figured out; again, don't feel required to have all 4 roles represented, I'll cater to the group's skills.

See you.

[Poseptune]

I've got a Triton staff wizard pretty much ready. I see you've added the Triton information to the races thread. I just need to read that to come up with a background.

[Ishmayl-Retired]

See you Xev, I look forward to seeing the campaign introduction

[brainface]

Yeah, I'm in the same state as Poseidon, but with a triton linguist-who-is-also-a-warlock. Probably explaining it as a triton that wandered around a lot--I guess that would be northern culture? They sound more scoundrel-some too, which is always a plus.

(I guess the world has multiple languages? It sounded like the linguist feat would come in handy in this campaign much more than a hack'n'slash one.)

[Ninja D!]

As do I. I should have my character ready within the next couple of days.

[Nomadic]

I am going to be playing a human trickster rogue devoted to being a smooth talker and quick thinker. Much more of a conman than a street thief.

[Ninja D!]

I was thinking thinking halfling trickster rogue.  Basically a conman.  The idea I have in my mind if part Badger (from Firefly) and part annoying monkey.  Like Badger as a child.  I also have a pretty good idea of how I want the character to develop.

I could see some interesting conflict / rivalry with Nomadic.

[Ninja D!]

It would be helpful to know a bit more about your world.  Religions and languages in particular.

[Nomadic]

Basically my concept was thief from 8-bit theater (but a bit less hostile to my own party). Actually change my race to elf. The "run away, run away" attitude fits what I want even better.

[Ninja D!]

Oh yeah, this could be fun.  Put two conmen together and watch the fun.  It will give a bit more motivation for how I picture my characer developing, too.

[Numinous]

I'm working on my unit paper right now, it's a big deal.  As in, SERIOUS BUSINESS.

But I'll be making an Ifrit knight who seeks his lost love, maybe she mysteriously vanished in a recent conflict.

[Nomadic]

Well I have myself statted out according to the base 4e (sans the different racial attribute bonuses). I figure once the Kapn gets back I can change anything else that needs to be changed and add in the fluff. Have to wait on the fluff till I know more about the local area.

Male Elf Rogue(trickster) 1 at your service.

[Xeviat]

I got home later than I expected. Fluff should be up tomorrow.

You are going to be looking for an artifact from the Northern Tritons, stolen by the Hunurst Empire over one thousand years ago. The Northern Tritons haven't been able to mount a search due to their splintered factions, but now the Southern Tritons have taken up the search.

Anyone playing a Southern Triton (who will have a sense motive and diplomacy skill bonus) should probably be from the diplomatic group. Anyone from the Northern Tritons should be an emisary, possibly with strong religious ties, as the artifact is a very holy item tied to the Water God. Anyone from Hunurst should probably be in politics in some fashion.

[Nomadic]

Well conman and politician go well together. I'm game for that.

Update: talked with the esteemed captain and I think I am going to try something here. I am going to play as an elf who was raised into human culture in the local area by a family with government ties. He has long since become enmeshed in the local culture and is slowly becoming quite adept at getting information and help and otherwise nosing his way into things. Due to his human upbringing he is much more aspiring then most elves, taking instead his guidance from humans whose short lifespans force them to take action. This mixing has left him with an urge to experience things at a much accelerated rate (one of the reasons he got entangled in local culture and politics). So for a share of anything found and a promise of protection he would be more than willing to be hired on as help for an interested adventuring party *wink wink*. Anyhow that should give you all a rough background on him (once fluff is up I will post an in-depth one).
