Here is what chat GPT came up with :) and a gnome druid named Flora who was gentle and kind.
I am going to rename my character for I love this name and we haven't really started yet.
Yvonne > Flora

Yeah, it's a much better name.
I submitted Flora as a character now.
I am still a bit confused on the art. Do I want art as a child or as an adult? Or find art with both ages. A bit difficult.

I don’t know. I was just thinking that we could start with kid art and then later update our art when our characters become level 1

Awesome and the city name is Dalton though. Lol. Flora as a warlock is awesome.
And I think do children art then art as adults, that sounds awesome and Atrius a.ka. Tink is awesome too.
But whatever you guys have for your beginning backstories is how we will start your characters stories.
I love the one with Baba yaga which is Floras origin story and stuff and the artificer escaping from an orphanage where his friend/mentor gets killed by a Baroness sacrificing kids to Goblins like the anime series The Promised Neverland and the thieves guild and the fighter having become adopted by a the Thieves guildmaster or King of Thieves after he escapes from a fire that kills his parents and after being in the orphanage.
These are all awesome backstories and I can't wait until we officially start soon.

Don't forget to submit your characters to the game when you are ready.
So far I accepted Eyes and Basil. Just need Svandes and Secks character to be submitted.
If y'all have any questions or suggestions for me, please let me know.

Tink (Atrius)
10 Year-Old Human Tinkerer (aspiring Articifer) Level 0
Here are my answers to your questions Amber:
Let me ask some questions to help get your characters created?
1. Whats your characters name, How old is your character and do they live with their parents, close relatives, orphanage, alone in a cottage, has a maternal Grandmother or Grandfather or elderly Uncle they live with, etc?
2. If a tragedy happened to your character like say your Guardians were taken away from you or were killed due to fighting or helping out in a war, or trying to protect you from a dark entity or you were captured by slavers of a different race or you fell into a portal to a different realm, what would you do?
3. What made you decide to go the way of the fighter, the way of the arcane arts? What major event in your life from childhood to becoming of age shaped you into the person you are today?
4. Upon meeting each other, who is your best friend in the group and would you protect and die for each other and would you sacrifice yourself to help /save others?1. Atrius. He doesn’t have or know his last name. His friends call him Tink, because he’s always taking things apart and tinkering with them. Tink is 10 years old. He doesn’t really remember his parents as he was left at the orphanage as a three year old. All he really knows is the orphanage life.
2. (This depends on if it fits with the group's overall story regarding how we get connected and become friends) Tink doesn’t know much about his parents, but he was close to Carlin Dimble the old groundskeeper of the orphanage. Dimble had a workshop in his shack on the grounds and was a tinkerer and aspiring artificer magic user. Tink witnessed Carlin get killed when the old man confronted the baroness that runs the orphanage. He was trying to divert the baroness’ attention so Tink could escape. Seeing his grandfather-like mentor get killed affected Tink profoundly. He wants to stop the baroness from selling children and get her back for Carlin’s death.
3. Tink was always interested in how things work and Carlin inspired and taught him, especially regarding the ways magic and technology could be fused.
4. It took some time but Tink has come to trust his friends and he counts on them and would do anything to help them and protect them any way possible.

Awesome answers. So Carlin Dimble is your friend/artificer mentor Tink? Awesome. I will be sure to note that then.
Accepted your character. Just need Svandes character submitted and we should be ready to officially start after that. We'll officially start on Sunday then.
So we have Flora, Ollie, Atrius/Tink, and Woody. Awesome.
Just waiting on everyone's characters to get submitted so I can accept them to the game before we officially start.

An idea to pull our ideas together and give us a chance to meet and know each other:
Atrius doesn't remember his parents. As far as he was told, he was left at the orphanage by them at age 3.
The orphanage is run by a Baroness (who was exhiled from her home land). This is the same orphanage that Ollie lived in. Also the same one that Flora used to live in before ending up with Sophie, the fairy godmother.
At the orphange there was an eerie cat that lives there that seemed to always be watching the children. It turns out that the cat is the familiar of a goblin warlock who is the adviser of a goblin king.
The orphan grounds were maintained by an eccentric old fellow, named Carlin Dimble, who also has a tinkering workshop. He dabbles in magic himself and is interested in the artificer discipline. Tink befriends him and spends much time with him in his workshop.
The old tinkerer comes to discover that the baroness has been turning children over to the goblin king and that the cat has been advising which children are the next candidate. The tinkerer warns Tink and Ollie and helps them escape the orphanage, telling them to find Flora because he knows she is safe with Sophie. he also tells them that the Guildmaster knows how to find Flora and Sophie. In a heated escape scene, the old man faces the baroness. The boys see the old man get killed by the baroness just as they narrowly escape.
They wander the city for a short while, sleeping in gutters and alleys, trying to find the Guild, when Woody finds them and brings them to the guild.
Basil, if Ollie has already been adopted...then instead of Tink and Ollie escaping the orphanage together, Ollie somehow hears about what happened at the orphanage with Carlin Dimble being killed and a boy escaping. Ollie knows Tink from the orphangage and suspects that Tink was the boy who escaped and goes out into the city looking for him with Woody who he now knows from the Guild. Ollie and Woody find Tink hungry and sleeping in allies and bring him to the Guild.
I'm assuming the 'retired' thief that adopted Ollie is actually the Guildmaster. The same anti-hero, philosopher thief's guildmaster that Woody knows as Tolraq and that knows Fairy Godmother Sophie

I love this idea, if everyone is game, we can play this all out in the Childrens Journey.
Mar 16, 2023 8:02 am
Oops. I thought I had submitted Flora. Guess I didn't. Fixed that now.
I like Seck's idea a lot too, although I can imagine Flora will not be very active in it yet, as she is not part of the orphange group. But I could imagine Flora being in town for some reason (groceries?) and connecting with the group before she brings them to Sophie.
I love this horrible orphanage, very fairytale/Charles Dickens like, to connect all our characters somehow.

Maybe Flora had to run an errand to the guild, drop off a few things.
As far as the guildmaster we need to give him an identity and a front --- In the Gentlemen Bastards series, the guild master was named "Father Chains" A priest of the god of poverty, he would stand outside his shrine/church in chains feigning blindness and begging for money. His children, were pretty much altar boys that would help him along.
Of course it was all an act, the geezer wasnt blind and he wasnt a priest...at least not one of poverty and the altar boys were not so innocent either.... all part of the training.

I was thinking of calling the Thieves guildmaster/The King of Thieves Dodger that is from The Charles Dickens novel Oliver and the Evil Orphanage Baroness is named Lady Georgette Grimes if that ie ok with everyone.
But yeah that sounds good. Let me go accept Floras character and we can begin today if y'all want to.

Accepted Floras character. Let me open up the thread for the Prologue and we can begin.
Mar 16, 2023 1:11 pm
Sounds good, the orphanage probably sells the kids...and writes it off as an adoption.
