@brathdyn Welcome
This thread is for your character creation. Take a look at welcome and character creation.

If you have any questions you can post them here or if you think they are general on the Q&A

Ok I have looked into but not had the chance to play 13th age yet but dont know the other systems you listed.

This game system is rules light and I try to keep the games moving. I currently have a couple groups that stuck around but the game also has a high turn over as people join in and move on. I have another newcomer finishing up their character. Once you are good to go and we get a scene or two for you to familiarize yourself with the game then we can move you to join the other newcomer or ove of the other groups

Excellent! Thank you for this thread. I only just noticed it now.

Last night I looked around the plentiful resources and threads. After some tooling around I made my character sheet, Nekgen. To me, he is a bull on two legs. Think the traditional minotaur, but less monstrously threatening and more like the real life bull. A patient, stubborn and slow creature with a disdain for mockery.

He has taken on the mantle of adventurer because butchering is no longer sustainable in the lands where he is from. His tribe was spread thin and the older generation died out. Without young blood to replace them, this middle-aged bull has to seek his fortune at the head of his axe over the handle of a carving knife. He is not well traveled or well read or even well socialized. This world is big and new and he is unto a deer in the headlights. Fortunately, or unfortunately, he is tough enough to handle a car crashing into him.

Ok a big tough guy with deft hands, a big ax, and no real plans except staying alive. As a bull/man I see no oreason not to simly call his race Minotaur. I added some detail lto your characters Traits. Heightened sence of touch will be interesting. I am thinking about allowing this to give you near spidern sence like ability with reguards to "feelin" object directly around you reguardless of sight/sound. We will see how this goes.
Interesting beliefe statment.
You are also the first to use a heavy weapon. These are slower and only allows a single attack so often players will use the other combat action to focus to increase their chances to hit.
Can you find and add a image to your character for his avatar? Edit character (pencil icon top right) and cclick "Change Avatar" then upload the image.

I just started another character who is more geard to a social setting and so am putting them on a quest with more talking than fighting Let me know if you are okay joining them or would prefer something else.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I'd be happy to join another player, but know that this character will be very role-play-ey.

I'll find a minotaur pic I like sooner than later and add it to my character :)

Nice pic..
Alright I will moveyou into the expedition base and you can start from there.
Quote:
Nekgen began looking for work in the Kingdoms as an adventurer much as we would try to set up shop in a new town. Looking for those in need and those who would sell gear to and buy materials form adventurers he picked up a few odd jobs and realized that wild beasts and monsters were a bit harder to deal with than your average livestock. Not long ago he was directed to a city known to be recruiting guards for escort duty out into the Shattered Lands. Making his way there he soon was directed to the man managing the hiring.
We can start you
1. Meeting the recruiter
2. already hired and on the wagon trail as a guard
3. just arriving at the expedition base
4. already employed either as a guard, lumberjack, or scout (where the real adventuring happens)

Let me know your preference

If Nekgen is good to go then go ahead and and introduce him on the Who's Who thread

Let's go with #4 as a Scout. That sounds the most appealing to me!

I'll work on an introduction in the Who's Who thread after I get done with some errands today :)

Alright. As I have another character alr3eady in the base thread I will start you in the dark.

Buan
You recently joined the expedition, having arived with a supply wagon train that took a coupe weeks but was oddly uneventlful. You have been assignee to work with Buan, a Florid healer. The two of you are to familiarize yourselves with the swamp while identifying and collecting useful plants and animals

The Story will begin in the swamp

Now that you have had a short solo intro to th game and system I would like to pull your character in with the tunnels dungeon crawl. Pulling character into a party lets them interact with each other and means I have fewer threads to manage. They are currently chatting in the Base Tavern

Let me know if you have any questions.
