Hey guys. Post your characters here. Remember, 1st level. Max starting gold. Stats will be rolled using the 4d6-drop-lowest method. Stats will be rolled here:

Invisible CastlePlease make all rolls under the same name (like, Laura should always roll under the name "Laura" or "CrazyIrishBitch," etc.) :p You know I love ya, kid. :D

If your stats=uber suck, I may have you reroll them. Please post your character concept first. Once I approve the character concept, then you can post a character sheet. Mmmm'kay? I'll have a semi-standard character sheet to use (don't worry, Laura, it's real easy to fill out ;).

Special
List any special abilities or miscellaneous information that doesn't fit anywhere else on this character sheet. You can include animal companion stats, familiar's benefits and stats, horse/steed statistics, etc.

Write a long paragraph of character background and history here. Try to take advantage of using this section to make your character interesting instead of just a "video-gamish" list of D&D statistics. But don't write too much; keep it focused and stick to the highlights. If you want to write a longer background (and trust me, I don't mind a bit!) please place a link here to a webpage where the whole story can be found.

Write a paragraph that describes the character's personality, manners, attitude, motivations, likes, desires, goals, aspirations, fears, habits, quirks, and similar things. Thinking about that stuff and writing it down will help you role-play better and your games will become more fun for you and everybody else playing with you. Who knows, your role-playing might help you win an Academy Award someday! *still crossing my fingers* ;P

Write out another paragraph with details describing the way your PC looks when first encountered. Make him/her unique enough that your character isn't just another boring face in the crowd. Also, be sure to describe all your clothing colors and materials so that everyone isn't walking around looking like perfect clones wearing duplicate copies of Adventurer Jumpsuit Outfit #9.

Armor (worn, ??wt) ??gp (optional)
Robe (worn, ??wt) ??gp (optional; continue for each item below)
Outfitname (worn, ??wt)

Medium Weapon or item (belt left, ??wt)
Medium Weapon or item (belt right, ??wt)
Tiny Weapon or item (belt front, ??wt)

Other items attached to belt (location, ??wt)

Quiver or Javelin Tube (right shoulder, ??wt)
Backpack (center back, ??wt)
Bedroll (below backpack, ??wt)
Other items worn on back or shoulders (location, ??wt)

Headband, Hat, Helmet (head, ??wt)
Lenses or Goggles (eyes, ??wt)
Cloak, Cape, or Mantle (worn, ??wt)
Vest, Vestment, or Shirt (worn, ??wt)
Ring (left ??th finger, -wt)
Ring (right ??th finger, -wt)
Amulet, Brooch, Medallion, or Necklace (worn, ??wt)
Belt (worn, ??wt)
Gloves or Gauntlets (hands, ??wt)
Bracers or Bracelets (wrists, ??wt)
Boots or Slippers (feet, ??wt)
Other minor accessories (location, ??wt)

Waterskin- water (backpack, ??wt)
5 Torches (backpack, ??wt)
Flint & Steel (backpack, ??wt)
Trail Rations- 1 days (backpack, ??wt)
Other backpack contents (backpack, ??wt)

Coins- ??gp, ??sp, ??cp (pouch, ??wt)
Gemname- ??gp (pouch, -wt)
Gemname- ??gp (pouch, -wt)
Other pouch contents (pouch, ??wt)

Remove any items from this sample list that the character doesn't have. Keep a blank line between the seperate categories (main clothing, belt things, shoulders/back, accessories worn, jewelry, backpack contents, pouch contents) to help organize the character.
The equipment listed should show where everything is usually carried during "hands-free" situations, such as when sitting in the tavern drinking an ale, or climbing up a rope in a dungeon, or carrying your unconscious companion's body back to town to be healed. Even though the character may typically carry certain equipment in his hands, writing your character sheet like this will help visualize where everything goes during any hands-free situations that come up.


((Note also that in order to make a blank line on this message board, you actually have to put in some HTML. Kinda dumb, I know, but necessary. Place a "<"BR">" (no quotes) twice at the end of a line to make a blank line.))

I've decided to wait a couple quests for the whole idea of using your characters' backgrounds for quest ideas. (Don't you worry--I'll still do it! I swear!)


THE STORY SO FAR....


Visaport is a fair-sized port city on the northern coast of the Alaborn Province. Here, fishing and trade are aplenty. It is also the site of the famous Allfather's Delve, a large church to Moradin built straight into the side of a large hill. The Delve is still under construction; it would have been finished sooner, but they've had some... problems. Mainly the not-so-dead kind.


To clear out the problem, they need some special equipment. But with their hands tied with the construction, the church needs adventurers to seek out the items for them.


So... Are you prepared?
