I'm game with that! For broader setting, if we're sticking to going with a caravan, perhaps we could make the wider world something perilous or desolate. Then maybe we could all have different positions within the caravan, as a way to explain who our characters are going in?

That sounds like a good old classic fantasy adventure to me!

Awesome! @DMBraniac May I ask if we'll be sticking to a campaign frame if ever we go with this kinda set-up?

Sure, that sounds like a solid base to start from. :)

Just to recap everybody's characters so far:

elysium7771: Underborne Elf Syndicate Rogue
Drgwn: Underborne Clank Primal Sorcerer
runekyndig: Slyborne Draconic Wizard

I'm gonna do what I do best: build a tank :) Going to go for a borg giant (half-giant half-clank) stalwart guardian with a wanderborne background. Since I'm doing a half ancestry, I'm also going to use purposeful design (from clank) and reach (from giant).

What sort of tone would you guys like for the game? A serious one, or something more lighthearted?

Tone of the game Multi Public

Serious
Something in between
Lighthearted

Thanks for the invite. Was going to look into character yesterday, but ended up with a forest hike in the rain instead. But I've played a Warrior in the one-shot I tried, so could play anything else really.

Was thinking possibly a Wildborn Goblin Ranger

If we are going with the caravan idea, he could be hired as a guide through the wild outdoors.

Here's what I have, in case folks wanna take a peek at a character sheet on Demiplane:
Chiara, Underborne Clank Primal Sorcerer

That is an awesome image. Reminds me of this image I used for a character at one point

Ooh that's lovely too!

@Furmyr, I think a goblin ranger would be a great addition to the party. :)

It looks like most people are interested in a mostly serious tone, with room for some moments of levity, so that's what I'll strive for. Once everybody has solidified their character concepts and backstories, you can start making connections by asking the other players some of the questions in that section of your class description.

Sounds good! Do we have an idea of the setting or what broad strokes of countries/happenings are there to provide a foundation for backstories and stuff?

I was thinking to do something similar to Battlestar Galactica. Your home nation has been invaded by some overwhelming force. (An enemy nation? A monstrous tribe? Demons or devils? ALIENS?!?) The survivors have formed a caravan and are fleeing through the dangerous wilderness in search of safety and a new place to settle.

That's the broad strokes at least. Feel free to come up with any details that you'd like within that framework! :)

Phu (pronoused Fo) is a DRAKONA SLYBORNE wizard. He usally keep all his belonings on him at all time, always on the move, but he could have a cargo that was big enough to require a caravan transport. This expense have set him back to only owning 1 hand fuld of coins (starting value)

I love it! Seems really fun, Aguz would certainly fit into it I think :) I'll just make the basic bullets of my backstory for now, and then come up with the rest when we make connections.

Well. I finished up my character. Fizzle the goblin.

He once lost two fingers on his right hand in a wolf attack, so had to learn to shoot the bow left handed.
He has a personal enemy in an especially ornery white owlbear.
And he don't like cities. Too many smells, sounds and people.

What did you get caught doing that got you exile from your home community?

"Stealing from a petty nobleman, a man named Maerin. I wasn't stealing from him for petty reasons. I just wanted to help someone."

You used to have a different life, but you’ve tried to leave it behind. Who from your past is still chasing you?

"That bastard, Maerin. Though, I'm not sure how he knew it was me. I never did like him and I made it pretty well known, but whatever. I guess he just needed to pin the blame on someone."

Who from your past were you most sad to say goodbye to?

"The person I helped... My sister. She didn't even know I was leaving. I just... Vanished. I thought it was safer that way. I'd already dragged her through enough trouble by trying to help. If Maerin came after me, I didn't want her anywhere near it. Still... Not a day goes by where I don't wonder if she hates me for disappearing."

(OOC: idunno why I did this but w/e)
