Hello all. I am a 22 year old DnD 3.5e veteran who has been searching for a solid game for awhile now. It hasn't been easy for me. Most of the games I have been coming across are a bit to hack and slash for me, with not enough RP interactions. I really want to play in a heavy RP game, where it might take us a session or two just to get out of town. Where we might actually visit a shop and haggle with the owner. Where there is a story going on and we actually care about NPCs. Where the DM actually tries to make the characters real by putting on accents or being very descriptive. I find that such games are hard to come by, but when I find them, they are amazing. For a bit about my playstyle, I like playing more versatile characters. I like doing some light optimization, but I don't intend to break anyone's games. I typically choose feats because they fit the flavor of the character, not simply because they are the most powerful choice. I am also the kind of person who RPs his stats and will make the choice that lets his character die if that is the choice the character would have made. I want a group who I can hang out with and have fun. I do want a DM who is ok using all of the material though (on approval is fine), just because there is a lot of fun variants and stuff in other books. As for playtime, I am pretty much available any time after 5:00 CST except on Wednesday and Monday. I will only play in games that utilize voice chat. I have three characters that I am particularly interested in running. If you really need something else, I don't mind switching if it means I can play in the kind of game I described. I didn't draw the images of course, I just plan on using them for tokens and they give a better idea of what I imagine them to look like. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : Cecil Nightroad Race : Drow (Savage Progression) Class : Ranger Alignment : Chaotic Good Details : Cecil is going to be running the Mystic Ranger variant from one of the dragon magazines. This will allow him to cast spells right from level 1. I plan on multitasking with him into Wizard at later levels and take the feat, Sword of the Arcane Order, allowing him to prepare Wizard spells in his Ranger spell slots. He will eventually get up to 6th level Ranger spells and 6th level Wizard spells. His back-story revolves around him abandoning the underdark to try to prevent his fate of being killed by a misuser of arcane magic. He stalks the surface hunting his enemy and the man fated to kill him, while protecting the weak so that they do not share in his fate. He wears long robes and a big pointed hat to disguise himself from surface dwellers who would not take to kindly to his heritage. Backstory Snippet : The gnarled, twisted shapes of grotesque shadowy creatures stand beckoning Ivan to the underworld. With terror stricken eyes, he turns and flees as the haunting images swarm their prey. Try as he might to escape them, they surround him, reaching out their emaciated, skeletal hands and smothering him under the mass of their distorted bodies. Blackness fills his eyes as he drowns in the viscous liquid of death and decay. With a panicked gasp of air, he rises, quickly examining his surroundings. With nothing in his vicinity but the faded embers of his campfire and the star covered sky above him, he lets out a frustrated sigh. Another nightmare. The same as before. It had always been this way, ever since that fateful day that he disobeyed his mentor's warnings and used the tools of divination to learn of his death. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : Ross Leonhard Race : Aasimar (Savage Progression) Class : Archivist Alignment : Lawful Good Details : As an Archivist, Ross will be a very intelligent scholar. With a passion for archaeology, he spends a lot of his time delving into old tombs and researching ancient mysteries. Having briefly served in the military, he also plays the role of master tactician, revering the Red Knight. Between Dark Knowledge and Knowledge Devotion, Ross is actually a pretty solid melee combatant, despite being a caster. He wears medium armor and carries a greatsword at his side. When buffed with spells, he will be able to fight just as well as any other melee character in the party, but he also has the option of focusing more on his casting side if the party is in need of it. He can also function as a solid healer. Although he is a member of the noble Leonhard family, he has always been destined for greater things after his mother had him out of wedlock with a noble celestial she met during her travels. Not inheriting any of the arrogant attitude that nobles often develop, he does his best to work within the system, changing it for the better of all mankind and frequently lending his aid toward even the lowly peasants. His family is well known for controlling the cold mountain mines for their rich supplies of metal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : Erasmus Keinz Race : Unseelie Cansin Class : Factotum Alignment : Chaotic Good Details : I plan on running the typical Factotum into Chameleon build. Yes, it's pretty much the way to play Factotum, but I love this class and build so much. For those that do not know what it is, Factotum is essentially your ultimate jack of all trades. You get intelligence to pretty much every check and all skills as class skills. Going into Chameleon will eventually net me both 6th level divine and arcane casting. The idea behind this character is to be an individual who is exceedingly brilliant, capable of doing just about everything with some degree of competence. He will always be able to step in and lend aid, offer advice to handle the upcoming situation, and always has the right tools for the job via alchemic items or other small gadgets. The premise with the character is that he is an immortal fey who disobeyed the Queen of Air and Darkness because he strongly disagreed with her actions. As punishment, he was forever banished from the courts, had his wings torn off, and had his memories and abilities drained (reducing him to a level 1 via negative levels). Part of his backstory will revolve around him regaining his memories and abilities before making it his mission to depose the Queen of Air and Darkness. Wearing the latest court fashion, he will be a kind hearted individual who protects the weak and innocent.
