Distant shores - Sign up (still open) and OOC

[dplax]

If Anon doesn't come from Paradisia you might want to note that in the description/bio. Oh and Paradisia was colonised quite some time ago, and none of the original colonists remain.

Well since my exam is done and I suddenly found myself with some free time, along with the fact that the two sign ups I had been waiting for have been completed, I shall open up the game for a free roleplay part to be able to better get into character, before the mission starts.

Sign up is still open, and shall be for at least two more weeks.

As far as colours go - I'll be taking silver for text and green for speech. Aka: my usual colour scheme.

What will you guys be taking? Of excuse me, and gals.

No doubt Dplax will take his usual red

[dplax]

Actually for Armus I'll be using lightblue, while for DM posts and for minor NPCs I'll use white.

NPCs who will have a greater influence on the plot shall usually get their own colours.

There game has been started. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'd ask you to put all OOC comments in this thread and to disable signature while posting in the game thread, since both tend to disrupt the flow of a game.

Edit: I'm also currently working on the map for the game, which I'll post when it's done.

Edit edit: feel free to interact with the other players in the Town Councils hall, I'll slowly start calling your characters as you start posting or after the weekend probably.

Rastheme Chombra (pronunciation: Rast-Heem Chom-bruh)

Rastheme grew up a bit of an outcast among his people, he was small and his hands ill suited to the heavy work of Guardian Pillar (a nobel caste of elite dwarven guards). The greataxes and heavy armor all but stopped him from performing his duties, and most agreed that he would have better served his clan as a craftsman of some sort, possibly gemcutter or goldsmith. Although he was dismissed from his service in the Guardian Pillar his time there had taught him a love of battle, the most traditional dwarven craft. Rastheme is a bit of an oddity, while a dwarf, he dislikes the traditional battleaxes, hammers, and shortswords usually favored by the Clans. He instead chose to train himself with the Hawk, smallish axes that could be used as servicable weapons in hand to hand combat, or thrown with precision. He eventually created a unique technique for battle while selling his skills as a mercenary called the Axe Storm it combines many of the features of the different uses of his favored weapon into one, he often uses one in each hand and can perform manuevers in combat that leave both friend and foe simply watching the deadly display that makes use of his small size and quick hands.

Rastheme frequently visits the human settlement to seek new business or new craftsmen and rumors, as he is also searching for the secret of elven steel so that he can obtain armor that wears like cloth, but is stronger than a dragon's hide. (a few dwarven armors come close, but the most common dwarf armor is similar to that used by the Guardian Pillars, essentially wrapping the dwarf in six inches of forged steel that limits his mobility too much to be useful).

Rastheme is heavily scarred from long decades of fighting, and is a frequent brawler, although usually quite calm. He trims his black beard down to a thick, but short and well groomed goatee, a decision which has earned him a fair amount of ridicule among his clan.

I stand corrected. I've redone and updated my sheet, keeping the core character concept but updating the biography, race and elaborated on as to why he is how he is - to some degree.

I still need to check with you about that sword btw - if he doesn't have it, then I doubt he'll be wielding any weapons.

Edit: I'll start posting now, since the race has been confirmed with you, Dplax, but the bio's not, so I'll hold off on his past .
