My guy is in! Time to do SCIENCE

My character sheet is in, as always I know who he is in my head but seem to lack the ability to put it on paper.

I will endeavor to write down a description and a character summary as well as a basic backgroud... I doubt I'll be able to get a full background written by the time the game starts.

I'm sure you'll do fine.

Character background is important because it gives you a sense of where your character is at the moment. Even if it is very brief, you'll have something to build onto once the game starts.
In this particular game, character background adds a bit of interaction possibilities, since your characters most likely know each other. Stone's Hollow isn't a very large village.

Admiral,I love you character already

"Glitch" the diviner XD

The Wizard with the Wrench – A Brathun in Stone's Hollow

by Jinx the Storyteller

I've been wandering Antaron now for almost 200 years, collecting stories of my people and their influences and dealings among the other races. In all those years I have never seen a Brathun that walks so close to insanity. At least not one this young and productive. Typically the “mad scientist” persona develops late in life after several centuries of work in the arts.

Perhaps this article can serve as a warning to the young Brathunspar that read my stories. Wizards that become Technits usually abandon their magical roots, for good reason. The line between what is natural and what is arcane is blurred enough for Wizards, but with the knowledge of science comes possibilities for creations that far exceed safety. Even after all these years I still have a healthy fear of the arcane, and I have been carefully wielding it my entire career.

The subject of today's entry, on the other hand, has no such fear (or respect) for the arcane or the scientific.

This story is about Masure Shadowshaper Dweomermaker Techomancer Heimerdinger Zwischenfall. His name for the Apanonar to call him is Glitch, an Apanonese name for when your invention doesn't do exactly what you want it to do. I have found that this term is inappropriate, as Glitch's inventions always do exactly what he wants them to do, even if nobody else can explain how or why.

Masure departed Lindaletempla 30 years ago with nothing but a weasel and the most rudimentary magical ability, hitchhiking a caravan ride to Pardinal and from there a ship to Bayris where he became apprentice to a powerful magician named Murdock. Murdock had a “loose” grip on his sanity, from the stories Masure told me about him. Apparently once a powerful enchanter, one of his spells was directed back on him, and ever since he has just not been able to shake the idea that someone or something is following him, waiting for him to let down his guard. Masure told me that Murdock had spell contingency triggers set up all around his house that would instantly dispel any magical or illusionary creature.

Masure learned much from Murdock, albeit remaining cautious as to not repeat his mistakes. Masure swore an oath to himself only to peer into the minds of others, never to enter them. It is a policy that he states has kept him sane, although at his level of arcane power I have my doubts. Masure departed Bayris shortly after his master passed and wound up in Coria. He states it's due to all the resources and booming markets. He chose Stone's Hollow due to it's proximity to the water for trade and easy access to both the Sylvari and Caelstra. Also for proximity to home for his eventual return to the Brathnaii Hallows, no doubt with tales of glory and technology beyond our wildest dreams.

Technology? You ask? Why would a wizard have anything to do with technology? Well, dear reader, being a wizard is not what Masure is known for in Coria. He has become known as an inventor of gadgets, and a master of the sciences. He has become what he calls a Technomancer, one who crafts items and then instills them with magic. Although I am unsure if Masure is what one might call “sane” one cannot argue with his results. My personal favorite is the wooden pony – that can be unlocked to turn into a real mount!

Of course Masure never shares the secrets of his technomancy, understandable as yours truly would never share the secrets of his artistic success either.

Very nice story admiral, sounds like this group will be much fun!


also Almerin, reading up on more Khordalum stuff, I think I made some wrong decisions on what My character would of done in his history, I would like to change some things, and the PM is to come.

Coolness.

Edit:
Intro post is up. Not too long, but I think it sets the mood and the pace.

Have fun!

boy am I glad I stayed up later than I should, reading away!


Oh also Almerin, great post, and thank you for compiling everything together on my character sheet!

I added the Character Sheets to the first page of the Q/A. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you all that these sheets are for your own convenience as well as my own. Reading other people's sheets cannot be prevented, but I would ask you to keep it to a minimum. If you want to get to know another character, I suggest you roleplay your way into it.

Also: for the moment there is a little addition to your sheet. I've marked your equipment with a small list named Current Inventory. That is ALL your character has at the moment. The equipment list that you submitted will be available later in the game.

Happy gaming to you all!

PS: I hadn't noticed it before, Admiral, but using a wrench as a weapon is genius.

Anyone want to have a relationship prior to this game starting?

can i reveal my background in-game?, I just need to think of a background.

Well, my character is a local stone mason who has worked in Stones hollow for the past three or four months, so if anyone wants to be a customer, neighbor, or local friend, PM me i'm all ears

my idea is that he is the scout for the guard and he is also the messenger

My character is likely to have been one of the town guard or militia. I'll get something up in a bit.

Hailing from an ancient line of rogues, Ta'nil came to be the 1225th rogue of his family. Coming to Stone hollow, he sat in his new home for a year until the guard came to his house saying that they needed a scout. He was made a scout for new squad of guard that patrolled the newly added part of the town. He was quickly promoted to the messenger as well as scout as he was known as swiftfoot early on by some of the guard. He later proved it by scouting the area known as the zone of Yowtyone, the only area most of the scouts would not go to because th elves of the area refuse entrance to all but other elves; the zone of Yowtyone is also known as Bekyiinmotinor or the zone of death, luckily, his grandparents lived there and he was warmly welcomed by the people of Yowtyone. Later on he heard the cry for people to hunt monsters and he walked towards the inn.
