Appearance: Standing at just 4 feet high and weighing in a little over 40 pounds, Cricket is a fairly young gnome with fiery red hair and a short clipped beard streaked with white. He wears small, round, gold-rimmed bifocals and a simple shirt and vest with his sleeves rolled up.
Personality: Cricket more than makes up for his diminutive stature in his taste for adventure, loyalty-to-cause, knowledge, and appetite. Cricket is kind-hearted and compassionate. He knows something of just about everything and often comes across as a know-it-all and a goody-two-shoes. He is very bookish and loves to read, write, and build with scrap metal. His nickname, Cricket, is due to his skills as a fiddler. Cricket does not drink, purely for the fact that he does not care for the taste of alcohol.
Background:
An intelligent tinkerer and a book collector with a penchant for stories, he decided to leave his boring old hovel in his hometown in search of business and/or adventure. He is a member of the Clockwork Artisan's Guild. He is the firstborn son of Copernicus Kipling Casper Cambridge "Cricket" Kermillion, Jr., and Calliope.  He also has three brothers, Crispin, Cornelius, and Caldwell, and three sisters, Crysallia, Corinthia, and the estranged Crysanthamum.

So, this is long, but hopefully it's compact enough and still accurate. Sorry its been so long in the making, I tend to be a perfectionist when I write :/


Name: Casebolt Thundertongue Sähkövaraus - but his friends call him Ironsnout
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Race-Subrace: Dragonborn - Bronze Dragon
Level - Class: Lv 1 Ranger
Alignment: Lawful Good

((Standard set))
Strength: 14 + 2 (race) Modifier: +3
Dexterity: 8 Modifier: -1
Constitution: 15 Modifier: +2
Intelligence: 12 Modifier: +1
Wisdom: 13 Modifier: +1
Charisma: 10 + 1 (race) Modifier: +0
Walking speed: 30 ft
HP: 10 + 2 (lv 1)
AC: 13 (Scale mail 14-1)


Appearance:
The short answer:
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ed/53/...

The long answer:
6’6” and 300lbs. Stocky humanoid build with the sheen of polished bronze. Strong arms with four fingers and broad legs with three toes, all of the above ending in sharp talons. His face elongates in the front to form a solid reptilian snout with small but sharp teeth, and splits off in the back to form ridges and loose coils. Dark eyes are in fact solid black and very difficult to follow. His brow is naturally narrowed, making it usually appear that he is inspecting or critiquing something. Walks with a very slight limp and breathes heavily unless he specifically makes an effort not to.

Personality:
The short answer: Epic boss, but stubborn AF

The long answer:
The epitome of a lawful good dragonborn, Ironsnout has impressive leadership skills and prefers to be in charge. He is commanding, decisive, strong, composed, direct, and has an aura of general power about him. Along with impressive leadership, he is distrustful, arrogant, proud, unforgiving, judgemental and demanding. He is also extremely stubborn, especially on a moral issue, which is how he got his nickname. As far as Ironsnout is concerned, THE LAW IS THE LAW and it must be followed. A strong believer in an eye for an eye, he often views himself as the force of justice.

Background: Noble
The short answer: High up captain of marshals and always wondering why people do stuff.

The long answer:
His family rules a mountain sector on the edge of a distant kingdom and holds the responsibility for keeping the border secure. He is the second son of the head statesman, and so by tradition was appointed commanding marshal when he came of age. When he wasn’t training, giving orders, or inspecting officers, he studied history. As the commanding marshal, and an avid student of history, he became acquainted with very selfless and very selfish people - as well as their actions. Several years ago, he became very interested in motives and why people do what they do. About 3 years ago he presented himself before the council and proposed that, seeing as it was currently a time of great peace and prosperity, he should take the opportunity to become an adventurer. Part of his reasoning was that he could study the motives of his companions, as well as his enemies, and then return and share his insight. In his own words, “An extensive treatise discoursing on the reasonings and motives of intelligent beings would be an invaluable resource to the knowledge and betterment of our society”. The council, knowing how stubborn he was and that he would only stay very grudgingly, consented. Many of them were honestly glad to see him go, as he had become very unpopular with them due to his blatant obstinance.

Skills:
Dragonborn: Resistant to lightning, speaks Common and Draconic
Noble: History, Persuasion, Dragonchess, speaks Dwarven
Ranger: Athletics, Perception, Investigation, Natural explorer: Mountains, Favored enemy: Dragons

Proficiencies: (bonus +2)
light armor, med armor, shields, simple/martial weapons.

Spells:
Breath attack - lightning beam



Like I said, I've never played before...did I miss something? I didn't post his equipment because I felt like it would take up unnecessary space, but I can. As you wish ;)

Name: Arīa
Age: 17
Gender: female
Race: Half-elf
Class-Level: Druid Lv.1
Alignment: Neutral Good
Background: Outlander
HP: 8 + 1

Strength: 14 (+2)
Dexterity: 13 (+1)
Constitution: 12 (+2)
Intelligence: 9 (-1)
Wisdom: 17 (+3)
Charisma: 10 (+0)

Proficient Skills: Athletics, Survival, Animal Handling, Insight
Equipment: Dagger, Scimitar, Leather Armor, Explorer's Pack, Wooden Staff, Traveler's Clothes, Belt Pouch, 10 gp
Languages: Gnomish, Halfling, Elvish and Common

Appearance: Blonde hair, small pointed ears, light grey eyes that seem to have a glow about them. ((https://goo.gl/images/dnB27r))

Personality: Arīa is very kind hearted but shy and skittish. She prefers to be alone out in nature and is usually in an animal form. She always has the best intentions at heart and helps anyone whenever aid is needed. Unfortunately, that has been used against her in horrid ways. Because of that, she now has difficulty trusting others, but once you do earn her trust, she is a powerful Allie and a very loyal friend.

History: Arīa grew up without any parents. Her human father didn’t want to take her in and her elven mother was too embarrassed to raise her.... That left her to the wolves. Having a strong connection to nature brought an unnatural understanding of the world and the wolves sensed something different. They raised her since she was a baby and Arīa always knew the woods as her home. Now 17, she is kind of growing restless and wants to see what else is out there....

Approved


message 8: by [deleted user] (last edited Dec 03, 2020 01:53PM) (new)

oooooh, thank you! I downloaded Xanthar's Guide to Everything and Volo's Guide to Monsters, so I've been looking at every possible combination . . .

Austin | 972 comments Mod
cool, There are no current campaigns going on yet. But I might try a scifi campaign if people are interested.


message 10: by [deleted user] (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
I was thinking something with halo


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

who's Halo?
Also, just so i know, do you know about the more recent d&d races? (Like tabaxi. They're cat people.)


message 13: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
Oh yeah I know they are cat people.

Look up Halo the game on google it is franchise.


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

message 15: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
Yeah I thinks so too.


message 16: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
I don’t remember much about tabaxi except for that they are cat people. What all attributes do they get?


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

uhh, they have the Cat Climb, proficiency w/ Stealth and Perception, Lucky Cat (i think) and also are naturally inquisitive . . .


Then there are aasiamar, the angels, who get wings when they're 3rd lvl, and resistant to celestial & necrotic . . .


The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) ((Is my application from last time still valid?))


message 19: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
yeah I think so.


message 20: by The Batman (Reagan) (last edited Jul 11, 2021 11:22AM) (new)

The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) Cool. You still interested in running this group? Q hasn't been on for a while, so I doubt we can continue his campaign, but I had some ideas for one of my own if we can put together a party.


message 21: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
Yeah I am still around


message 22: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm here too!


The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) Sweet.

The landmaster (landonzea) | 314 comments Mod
I could participate, though I don’t know how consistent I would be. I can be a chaotic Neutral character who you guys can assume just runs away or vanishes when I’m unavailable. Or I can not play, that works too.


The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) Whatever works for you. Rather have you than not. Is everyone sticking with their characters here or is anyone changing?


message 26: by [deleted user] (new)

Sticking w/ my character


message 27: by The landmaster, Cool dude. Inactive. (new)

The landmaster (landonzea) | 314 comments Mod
Either is fine with me. If dragonborn don’t fit in your world or something, just let me know. Do you want me to bring him up to level 3 to be on par with gyroscope?


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

You don't have to, she can be scaled down to level 1 if you want (she's only lvl 3 because she's specifically a glamour bard, an option beginning at lvl 3). You can scale your dragonborn up (hehe dragon puns) or i could scale Gyra down -- either one!


message 29: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
yeah I could play my guy, but he is built as level one cleric. So I need to add levels if we are anything more than level one.


message 30: by The Batman (Reagan) (last edited Jul 21, 2021 07:17AM) (new)

The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) I think we'll start at level one. All races are welcome.


message 31: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
ok then I'll use my guy


The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) Cool. Can you tell me about your character's diety?


message 33: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
what deities are you using?


message 34: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
or I guess find me one about forgiveness maybe revenge.


The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) I kind of have a homebrew pantheon, but you can add literally anything to it as it isn't super fleshed out yet.


message 36: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
ok well if there is a god of forgiveness/ revenge that is the deity my guy worships.


The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) There is now. I'll start figuring them out. What if it's two gods? An angel- turned demon- turned diety trying to lead you to revenge, and his twin sister pulling you to mercy? Borrowing some themes from my own Christian faith seems like an easy way to make this dynamic work well.


message 38: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
sure we can do that, the deity I had on mind was biased off of Christian beliefs.


The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) Is it Taoism that utilizes the yin yang motif? I had the idea that these dieties would be depicted as winged/feathered serpents, one black, one white entertwined in an eternal wrestling match. Sort of that archetypal depiction of spiritual warfare like you see between Raava and Vaatu from Legend of Korra. ((Oh wait, that's where the idea came from...))


message 40: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
Yeah sort of good with a small part of evil in it and evil with a small part of good in it


The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) Are you cool with having a conflict of faith and being torn between the two, or do you want to be devoted just to one? Also, I need names for them.


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

We could try the names from my Darkling pantheon, like Velriankh, or maybe Tesrisane?


message 43: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
I think maybe he id devoted to be doing good, but he knows that evil is inside him.


The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) @Seven, I like both of those names.
@Austin, Yeah, I think that makes more sense than forcing you into a split personality.


message 45: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
Yeah I’ve had split personality characters before and could never get them to come out right
