Spells and AbilitiesBackstory
Rose grew up on a farm and lived a simple life. She was the only daughter in a large family. All in all, Rose has 8 brothers. 3 older, and 5 younger. The older three have already lost their lives to the conflict that scorches the land. When they started going door to door to conscript yet more soldiers, Rose stepped forward to spare her younger brothers.
Learning basic self defense is part of living in the country, but the closest Rose has ever been to a real fight is roughhousing on the farm. Rose prays that her limited knowledge of swordplay will be enough to keep her safe. She may not yet be skilled, but she is determined. After all, she isn't just protecting her own family now, but many more just like her own. It's time to learn how to fight or die trying...

Oh, mediocre at absolutely everything.
Thinking Fighter or Magic User, leaning slightly towards the latter unless one of our other peeps calls dibs. (Which is cool, I don't have strong feelings either way.)

Are there any details on who was just deposed? Was is a royal family? A queen? A Duke? The mayor of a major city-state?
Aug 22, 2021 5:53 pm
The capital was, up until the deposing, an aristocracy. The entire collection of the political class was, as far as you can tell, overthrown.
Aug 22, 2021 11:15 pm
Oho. Sorry to dig deeper, but I have an idea or two for my PC and I'm wondering a) what happened to the old ruling class, and b) are there some of them still on the run?

Sorry to be passing notes here folks, just making sure an angle I'm looking at will work with our GM's overall setup.
Should be getting my PC submitted tonight.

Yep. They're not bad at all. I have had a devil of a time deciding what I Want to do with them, though. I think what I have settled on if it is appropriate, is a Cleric of Justicia. I am toying with the idea of taking inspiration from the first Dragonlance Trilogy and starting off RP-wise as a regular Joe, then maybe have a cathartic vision if he manages to reach level 2 that seals him as a member of the faith and grants him access to divine magic. Is that too cheesy?
I'm going to grab some dinner then I'll finish up. I'm just lacking character art, equipment, and making a firm decision on backstory.
Thank you all for welcoming me. I have enjoyed everyone's work on the story thus far and am looking forward to diving in!

Thank you! I'll keep an eye on the story thread for his cue to enter. I assume that he will be a conscript like the other PCs. If you have something else in mind, let me know.
Sep 2, 2021 3:31 pm
I was wondering about this -- we could presume you've been with us all along... (swap one cleric for another!) -- or we can certainly meet on the road.
Sep 2, 2021 4:58 pm
If assuming that Phineas has been there all along is the way things need to happen I would roll with it, but it's not my preference. I'd rather wait and join in when it makes sense to do so. I'm excited about getting started, but I'm not in any particular rush.

The group is actually about to embark on a more or less empty road while on a patrol of sorts. It would be perfectly reasonable for you to be heading in the opposite direction. A key question here, which side will you be showing yourself to be on? The other PCs are conscripts, not necessarily voluntarily, in the service of the Lord Commander Emil. There are however militias about opposing Emil because he and his troops deposed the dukes/duchesses that formed the aristocratic regime. Alternatively, you choose some other allegiance. The choice is yours! Perhaps we could collaborate to invent someplace for your character to be frome. I haven't created any theocratic settlements yet for the world map, so we could develop one quickly for you.I think that is a good idea, regardless of which side of the fray Phineas is on, to have some idea of where he is from. I am happy to work on that with you. Your mention of a Theocracy brought Vatican City to mind. Perhaps a Theocratic city-state that remains sovereign and apart from other nations because they are recognized as international mediators?

That will absolutely work. I just preferred not to hand-wave him into the story as if he'd been lurking in the shadows for the first day or two.
Are you thinking that one or both of the parties sent for a mediator, or that word reached the Justice League (just kidding) that there was trouble and he was sent to offer his service? If someone requested a mediator, I assume that would have been the former regime?

Sep 3, 2021 12:05 pm
The former regime sounds good. Perhaps Phineas was intended to serve as a good-faith an impartial third-party observer to negotiations between Hoffnungsadel's regime, and some other locale. Those negotiations have clearly been derailed leaving Phineas in an uncertain position, and alone in a potentially hostile environment.
Obviously, suggestions only.
Also, Phineas can be an honorary Dr. Fate representing the "Justicia League." I think that sounds...super!

I'm picturing us coming up as Phineas is trying to pass judgement on some quarrel... or him on the run or treed by angry rebels looking to pay him back for some past grievance when along strolls a patrol... ;)

Falcolnloft how would you like your character to join the group? Are you from the capital city (Hoffnungsadel), or from somewhere else? (I've dropped the name for now because I don't like it.) If you're from somewhere else, let's talk about what that place might be. Everyone except Phineas is from the capital which was an aristocracy that has now become a sort of tyranny after being overthrown by someone who calls themselves "Lord Commander Emil". Phineas is from a theocratic state (think something kind of like the historical Vatican City), and approached the capital with a diplomatic mission. Via a series of mishaps, the group members are "prisoners" of a militia comprised of citizens displaced by Emi's usurpation of the former regime. This is where we're at.
Oct 15, 2021 7:41 pm
If they've been caught for something quite common, I'm okay with being thrown in with them. Otherwise, I can wait until they negotiate their release with the militia (or have a more pointed conversation directly with the locks) and jump in then.
Oct 16, 2021 3:04 am
What about being a part of the militia? Perhaps you could step out of the group to join the other PCs?
Oct 19, 2021 8:02 pm
As long as that doesn't complicate things for everyone, I'm okay with that, although she's not much of a fighter. Maybe her father is in the militia and she's just along for the ride and bored.
Oct 20, 2021 11:48 am
I shamelessly admit that it would the easiest way for me to work your PC into the group. If everyone else is ok with it, maybe we can go with that?
