Character posted! Thanks for all the help folks. I can't seem to click on any of the other characters, though - anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Is not you. Other players have to go into the character builder and add them to the library so other users can view them. Characters > All Characters > Go to character and click on the grey book icon so it's highlighted red. You should be able to view mine at least.

We may also be still waiting on the DM to accept them.

Thanks Valkeelis, that worked for me! You should be able to find Hebron now, as well.

Hi all, I need to dig my copy of the Ravnica book out and take a look but I'm going to be going with an investigator type character within the Azorius Senate - possibly Rogue Inquisitive archetype (from Xanathars) or a Divination Wizard, probably will go for a Veldaken if that all sounds good.
Both options sound good to me.

I've also approved the characters submitted so far. Still some details missing on all of them, but you'll get there. Again, if you have any questions let me know.

Could you please let me know which parts I'm missing or you'd like more on? Thanks

Yep, ditto. Oh, I forgot Renown, I'll look into that. (I suspect for Brozhlek it's just 5 points in Boros, honestly.)

Sure...as of this posting the following bits are missing from the characters submitted so far.

Gitzmar...has no equipment, spells prepared, and no background traits (Personality x2, Bond, Ideals, Flaw)

Brozhlek...has no background traits (Personality x2, Bond, Ideals, Flaw), and Renown

Hebron...just missing Renown at this point.

Hi sorry. At work now. Will have it all entered by this evening when I get home.

No pressure intended at all. Just answering questions. We still have two PCs that have no info. No worries

Hi DM as I am playing an Artificer there are few details about my character that I'd like to have 'reskinned' with your permission. Will inbox you shortly. One of them being my daggers. I would like them to appear as double-bladed throwing daggers (a bit like a chakram) for a boomerang effect when I use my 'Returning Weapon' infusion on them. Otherwise would be the same as a dagger statistically. Some other stuff as well. Once again sorry for the delay. I'm really looking forward to playing.

Sure, if it is only a matter of shape/design for flavor, I do not object.
May 7, 2019 10:02 pm
Ok I'm pretty much done. Wow as expected from an Artificer, this character has lots of moving pieces. Just have o fill in backstory and explain to you the 'science' behind my magic. That will come in a moment.

A slender Vedalken female stands before you with long black hair and light blue skin. Her eyes are wide with enthusiasm, but she is otherwise expressionless. She wears a tight fitting, long sleeve white body suit made of some kind of semi-rubbery material, over which she wears a golden, x-shaped metal harness on her torso, with a glowing orange orb in the middle of the chest piece. Her hands and forearms are covered by gauntlets of a similar metal with glowing orange crystals embedded in each finger tip. Her belt jingles with mechanical components, tools and vials, within and without a series of large pouches that line her belt. On her belt also hangs 2 exotic, S-shaped, double bladed daggers with crystals at the base of the blades where they meet the handle. Like any artificer, she seems all too eager to explain what all of her equipment does.

Special Tools for Casting:

Arc Blade - Engineered by Gitzmar herself, this double bladed throwing dagger looks almost like an 'S' with a handle in the middle. The handle section features a socket for special cartridges that give the blade upgrades, and gravic crystals that can be charged for improved throwing and returning functionality:

Gravic crystals - Charged for the Returning weapon Infusion (Long term mod)

Elemental cartridges - Used as the 'Arcane Weapon' spell. Depending on the energy application of spell.
Vulcan cell - An energy cartridge containing stabilized quasi-elemental fire particles called Flogistal, which is used to apply fire damage to the blade's attacks.
Zero cell - An energy cartridge containing an alchemical solution called 'Quick Ice' that reaches freezing cold temperatures, used to apply cold damage to the weapon.
Ion cell - An energy cartridge constructed using LSMT - Load Stone Magnetic Field Technology - used to apply electrical charge to the weapon's attacks.
Vibro cell - An energy cartridge that causes the blade to vibrate rapidly with sonic oscillations dealing thunder damage.
Anti-matter cell - An energy cartridge that uses special particles that corrode and disintegrate organic matter in a similar way to acid.
Radon cell - An energy cell that generates sickening radiation, making cuts form the blade poisonous.

Thermo-Gravic Reactor - An energy core located in the middle chest compartment of Gitzmar's special X-harness Exo-suit breastplate. The power supply is fueled by quasi-elemental Flogistal particles stabilized by a LSMF (Load Stone Magnetic Field) matrix. The Thermo-Gravic Reactor can produce a number of effects such as thermal energy blasts (Fire Bolt), gravitational deflection fields (Shield of Faith), sickening radiation blasts (Ray of Sickeness) and light, and is also used as a power source to charge her other devices. Gitzmar is currently working on upgrades that will allow an anti-gravity cushion for levitation and later, flight.

Proximity Sensors - Currently used to establish security barriers that alarm at the passage of motion through a warded area. Used as the 'Alarm' spell. More functionality as upgrades come.

Biotic injection syringe - For applying alchemical cellular regeneration fluids as a 'Cure Wounds'. Can also apply decontamination fluids (Purify food and drink). Future upgrades may include other metabolic fluid enhancements as the 'Enhance Ability' spell.

Optical Analyzer Lenses - These hi-tech goggles provide visual systems including night vision (Darkvision), Quantum Field Spectral Analysis - QFSA - (Detect Magic) and Quantum Database Analysis (Identify)

Hebron stirs from the heap of rubble serving as his chair - a corner of an Orzhov altar, judging from the pretentious runes scrawled down the sides. Large, liquid brown eyes take in the dark-haired, rattling Vedalken woman before him. The Loxodon rumbles to his feet, leaning on his twisted, oaken quarterstaff; Hebron twitches his trunk upward in friendly greeting, careful to minimize the movement for the newcomer (to many Ravnicans, ALL Loxodonic gestures are threatening). In a tone like a mountain settling, he speaks:

"Blessings to you, friend."

Hebron absorbs the sight of a bewildering array of equipment and technology, thinking What one woman could possibly need with so many glowing gadgets... Realizing his stare has entered the awkward state, Hebron hurriedly exclaims, "What a unique look! You simply must tell me which Izzet lab you..." Hebron suddenly notices the sharp outline of an Azorius insignia. "Pardon me, I hadn't realized the Senate contained such, erm, gleaming members! You must accept my most humble apologies for jumping to such offensive conclusions. And pardon my manners again!"

Bowing low, trunk sweeping broadly in respect, "Hebron, of the Selesnya Conclave, at your service."

Looking up once more, Hebron asks brightly, "Are you here for the" - Pausing, he rocks forward, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial rumble, "...mission?"
OOC:
Love the character, looking forward to playing with you!

OOC:
Thank you and same here. Yours looks awesome!
Gitzmar takes a step backwards cautiously as Hebron stands, somewhat intimidated by the creature's voice and size. Yet still there is no sign of fear in her facial expression, only wide-eyed curiosity and a nervous twitch of her long, pointed ears. She cocks her head to one side, rubs her chin and clears her throat before replying. "Favorable outcomes to you also. Hebron is your designation? It is...." With a finger on her chin, her large eyes roll downwards seeking the right words. "....a pleasure...." Her wide, vacant stare is an indicator that pleasure is a sensation she is almost completely unfamiliar with, and the word is only a formality. "You may address me as Gitzmar....Your initial assumption about my affiliation is understandable given my genetic make-up and attire, however, a gifted intellect is wasted without moral guidance and structure so I serve the Senate." She pauses and bows to the Loxodon. "Affirmative, I believe I AM here for the mission. Long live the guild pact...." Gitzmar too whispers her last statement in a manner which is conspiratorial.

A small metallic orb with a single blue crystal for an 'eye' hovers out from hiding behind her and emits a series of clicks and chirps in an almost emotive fashion. The gadget's blue eye pulses with a dim blue light in sympathy with the sounds it makes, making you assume the little gizmo is communicating somehow. "I am uncertain. Perhaps we should ask him." Gitzmar replies to the little hovering drone.

The corners of Hebron's eyes sigh as Gitzmar steps back. It was so much easier to make friends back in Vitu-Ghazi... However, hope stirs at her odd yet charming response.

"Long live the guild pact!" he returns, a muffled trumpeting escaping his otherwise skulduggerous tone. As the ominous blue orb darts into view, it is Hebron's turn to step backward - this time in alarm! Thopter! I am betrayed!

Quarterstaff creaking ominously in vast hands, Hebron prepares for action...but after a pregnant moment lacking the trademark monologue of the Lawmages of Dovin Baan, Hebron notices the complete lack of wings.

"Pardon me a third time, and now I'm in your debt! Your little friend just reminded me of...well, you know...But I'm sure you get that far too often, so I would be happy to answer any questions asked by..." Hebron's voice trails off meaningfully, trunk curled over his shoulder in embarrassment and contrition.

Sorry I haven't been so active as of late. To complete the odd menagerie we have going on here, I'd like to play a NG Symic Hybrid Wizard(Abjuration) who left the Symic Combine in favor of the Azorious Senate. Renown: Symic Combine 2, Azorious Senate 3
