When is the game going to start and at what day & time will sessions begin? What is your time-zone? What rulebooks besides core do you have/use for this game? I
am curious as it really depends on what you'd allow us players to play
as. Afterall this is a homebrew world so would non-AL races such as
grung be acceptable? Those questions aside, here is my current idea for a character -1- Character Name: Bartholomew Blackthorn Race: Halfling(Ghostwise (willing to change subrace if you don't want SCAG content)) Class: Rogue(Mastermind) Background: Criminal Backstory (Sorry for the word wall) : A
few shadowy figures are gathered around a large campfire, the smallest
amongst them was sat on a stump with a small stick in hand. The
flickering light revealing his brown eyes, but what really drew
attention to him was the scar across his face running from one cheek
curling up to the other to his ear. His baritone voice suited his
carefree tone as he addressed his 'crowd'. " I was born
into a family that opposed the law. Comprised of swindlers, thiefs and
fences of illgotten goods even murderers. Now I won't lie and say oh
don't worry I'm different. I'm a good man. I keep to my word." That
would be a waste of time, and that my friend would be the biggest crime
of all. Afterall, they say time is money, right? " " What's that look for? You want to hear more of my story? Really? ...Well alright " Takes a swig of ale. " Well
I was certainly raised to become apart of the family-business. First,
it was mimicry, pickpocketing, and forgery during my youthful years. A
way to learn how to, speak, read and write I assure you " Takes another swig as he paused. " Hmm
Perhaps, I started far too early on in the story. It would go on for
far too long. Needs to be to the point, Don't you think? " " Well
you can't exactly say you just one-night shrugged of work to listen to
the tales adventurers only to get reprimanded by your crime-syndicate
father and boss, who you in turn decide to cut one of his fingers off,
and decided to go against your entire family for the sake of just
following a dream. Choosing to stow away on a boat to this land and
following any trails and rumors pointing towards adventure now can you. " After his expositional onslaught, he paused once more as one of the other figures by the fire nodded. " You can? Well that makes introductions so much easier... " He swiftly rose from his seat with a grin on his face. A few brown curls come out from under his hood with the sudden movement. " Well
thank you for clearing that up. I suppose I should bid you fellows
farewell. No need to worry your friend will be waking up he should be
more than capable. " He stokes the fire with his stick causing a few embers drift to nearby wood. " You just have to hope he wakes up sooner rather than later..." And
without another word, he left leaving behind 3 figures each struggling
with their bodies bound by rope, their screams muffled by impromptu gags -2- I would be starting completely newbut
I do have a friend who has been explaining some mechanics to me and
have been searching tutorials and watched a few games here of there. -3- Whilst
I am one for theatrics as you can see, I would prefer a balance as both
RP and Combat as I've seen both can have large impact on the game.
