Character Creation/Discussion

Here's where we can discuss anything related to character creation.

I'd like to make sure that the characters mesh together well, and are fun for you. :)

Hi Knighthawke. Thank you for the invitation.

I have used the link you gave. I think Valeria will be an alchemist, healer type. Less combat focused more, helping and offering counsel.

She is a Zagrian priest of Mitra, summoned to fight. A fierce woman with eyes of fire in passion and zeal against wrong doing but capable of a soft touch when the right word is needed.

Valeria’s character sheet.

Thanks for the invite, I'm looking forward to starting the game.

I'm thinking of going with a warrior from from up north. I'm thinking of probably having Nordheim as his homeland (possibly Aesir).

Would you allow the Conan the Barbarian source book along with the Corebook during character creation?

Seems like an interesting concept. I’ll take a closer look in the morning. :) who would you see as Valeria if this were an HBO/Amazon series? What would really drive her to take up an adventure?
Yes, any of the sourcebooks are fair game. What would bring an Aesir down to Argo? Also, who would you see as playing him in a series? :)

Mmm, I think her priestess vows. To Mitra lack of virtue and dark sorcery is a severe sin and there is plenty of this in Hyboria. So I imagine her as a kind of firebrand preacher type. A zealot.

My character, named Ronzu, is a hunter/tracker from a tribe in Hyrkania. While out on a multi day hunting trip with other members of his tribe, his village was raided. Many of his people were killed or captured. He has departed his village to try and determine who was behind the raid and hopefully free his captured tribesman. His journey so far, based mostly on rumors unfortunately, has brought him to Argo.

As an actor reference, I think of Robin Shou (Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat movies). Not a large bulky barbarian, but wirey and athletic, with a serious but good nature.

I've got my character complete using the website above, but the save to PDF option doesnt seem to work on my kindle. I'll get the sheet finished next time I'm on my PC.

My character, Tydeus, is a Corinthian soldier who is tired of protecting and maintaining the Road of Kings. His great grandfather on his mother's side was from Argos. Tydeus heard tales of Argossian privateers acquiring fantastic treasure and is in Argos to seek his fortune. I will build the character using the website later this evening.

P.S. I did a practice run with the character builder earlier today and couldn't save the PDF either.

Tried on my phone tonight, was on Kindle fire previously. Still just outputs a blank PDF. I'll try on a PC tomorrow and see if I have better luck.

I use an iPad and it works for me. Can you share the character sheet with me? Maybe I can do it for you?

Thanks Laura, I was just able to get it done on my work PC this morning, otherwise I would have taken you up on that offer.

Here is my sheet:

Character Sheet

I was thinking of playing a Sorceress, perhaps from a vanished kingdom or from the deserts of Old Stygia.

I should have my character completed by today or tomorrow at the latest.

As far as why my character is at the start of the campaign...he's the youngest son and knows he has no shot at achieving greatness while under his family's shadow. So he left and sought out the life of a wandering mercenary. He's hired out as a guard for both caravan and ship.

Still working on the PC's one paragraph backstory, but the character sheet is mostly finished. I'm using a modified version of the template posted earlier: Tydeus character sheet

I may want to change my main weapon selection from saber if a different weapon fits the concept better.

My character avatar isn't saving on the document. I need to experiment with other pictures to see if I saved the AI generated image incorrectly.

So no-one thinks that this is just withering and dying, I want you all to know I've been reading and keeping up on the characters. I like the concepts I see. :)

So far I have sheets/Characters for:

LauraChiCio: xxx as Valeria, stoic priestess of Mitra from Zingara
rpgventurer: Logan Lerman as Tydeus, vengeful mercenary of distant Corinthia

And for concepts:
Camila: Taylor Hill as Nekhbet of Farsun, Stygian sorceress
Squadfather44: Charlie Hunnam as xxx, Noble (?) mercenary/soldier
TrantorTheTroll: Robin Shou as Ronzu, oath-sworn Hyrkanian hunter

That sound about right? Would love to know who would be cast for your parts still too. :)

I'm thinking of Charlie Hunnam from King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.

Cool. :)

One thing I noticed is that none of the sheets I have seen show what Attribute Aspects were chosen. I'd like to know what was chosen, for potential references, etc. :)

I'm still thinking on the character, I'm currently reading the relevant books as I was mostly unfamiliar with the system.
As for the setting, I didn't know much so I'm getting up to speed, I figured there are some links to Call of Cthulhu and Lovecraft (apparently the author took inspiration from Lovecraft)

Hi all, I think I'm actually going to withdraw myself from this game. The concept looks neat, but ive had another thing pop up and it looks like you have enough interest to continue without me. Best of luck to you all, hope it turns out great!

Hate to see you go, but completely understand. Welcome back if change your mind. :)
