RPP Character Creation

First let's see what everyone wants to play. Give your top choice for Roles before diving in too far.

I want to be the Occultist role.

Hmm, either the Muscle/Explorer or the Scholar/Professor

Magician is quite a weird idea for a subclass.
Is it really pulling bunny's out of hats?

I'd like to try it.

Second choice would be criminal.

I am going to be the Occultist
Her name is Madame Felicia Parker and she is a Gypsy Fortuneteller and Occultist who specializes in the Occult and reading Arcane texts and anything having to do with ghouls, ghosts, and anything supernatural in their ilk.



This is what she looks like.

So I think we can move forward here. We might have a fourth join, but we can work them in later. So, right now there are no overlaps. Amber seems settled, and the other two have each expressed interest in non-competing Roles, so just make your final decisions and we can move onto weaving the Circle together.

To address your question @Ledosero , yes it does imply a stage magician of some kind in that role, and a Vaudeville style act would fit that role. You get to choose one of the two abilities under Specialty to start with. Misdirection would imply a Sleight Of Hand style, no-real-magic magician, but you could have actual real powers if you go with The Prestige. So it's up to you if you pick the Face. The Slink/Criminal could also be fun though, just up to you on what you want to play.

That being said, and this is for everyone, you can make these your own a bit. Let's not go too crazy, but we can expand upon the character some.

Once you've settled on the Role, you can introduce your character and we will decide if/how they know each other, and what they know about the organization Candela Obscura.

I have two guiding lights to put out at this point that I want give you.

First, Candela Obscura is a secretive organization and works to keep all the weird shit contained. Your character should at least be okay with that if not enthusiastic. My take is they fear another societal collapse from uncontrolled Magick.

Second, remember the Illumination Keys (middle column, bottom lines) on your sheet as you develop your character’s personality. These are an important way you gain experience points and advance after each investigation. Your character should seek to do one or more of those on each case.

Awesome. Btw my gear as an Occultist is going to be Arcane Texts, Bleed detector and Occult supplies. Those will be on my character sheet

And my illumination keys for Occultist are Consult Arcane Texts, Collect Oddities and Act Bizzare. That's for the Weird role too.

If we do get a 4th playing with us, I hope they have fun.

Added my character to the game. Please accept it.

From the actual play on Critical Role, you don't actually pick any gear to start. You can just claim you had it in your stash during the case as it is needed. So while the Bleed Detector is very likely to be needed at some point in almost every investigation, you don't always have to be the one to carry it.

The idea seems to be to let your characters have what they truly need in the moment...up to three times. And once you claim an item from your list, it's available to you for the duration (unless you like throw it away for some reason).

Ok. Well I already placed it on my character sheet so they are things I always have.

I overlooked it before but her is an Obscura Character Sheet for this site. If you want to use it go for it, or you can just use what you have. It's not that important.

I posted the same sheet in they other thread, but I made a couple changes to the rolls at the bottom. Runekyndig hadn't updated some text when he copied they logic for the bottom Intuition rolls is all.

I'll take the Slink/Criminal then as it looks like no one claimed that one.

Cool. Thanks @Qralloq.

In the end it isn't mandatory to use any particular sheet since we are using the pregen character sheets for stats and such, but it is fun to have the formatting and quick buttons. Looking forward to seeing more character ideas.

Alice Mist

Daughter of The Great Master (Sebastian) Mist, a great escape artist who had mastered the ability to teleport, which he taught to Alice.
During one stunt, her father vanished from this cabinet of blades... and never returned. He has been missing for years. There was no body in the cabinet, punctured with swords. So he did vanish. But to where?
Alice had always been enthralled by her father's tricks. And she loves to put up a show. Less dangerous, but more special effects. For special effects, smoke, light effects and mirrors are great. Still, it is hard if everyone knows you're a child of one of the best, who even has a mysterious story going on. True magick would be the solution to be better. And it might help her find out what haappened to her father

Meet Otto Mann:

I'm liking what I'm seeing. Lots of good hooks for me to weave into the story.

I rather use what I have

I'm goint to try and play the Scholar character.

Hey, sorry for the delay. I've got a character concept in mind, will be using the Muscle.

Planning for an ex-night watch / police officer.

Excellent. Let me know if I can help with anything.
