It should be almost complete, I'll start writing the longer stuff once I get back home in a couple of days. Okay, sounds good. Here's my character sheet! I'm thinking of calling her April Showers, but I can come up with something less silly if you'd like. Nah, it's fine. In fact, that probably won't even be the silliest aspect of this game, as you'll soon see. My idea was that her mother was a member of the Elonnian church, so she grew up within it, training to be a Paladin. However, her more unorthodox views has caused some conflict with her religious elders. Sounds good. I'm looking forward to reading about these unorthodox views of hers.

So for Poppy's backstory, specifically about the murder of her family: I was thinking of having it happening when she wss like 8-10 y.o. by the hand of some criminal organization of which she recognized a symbol or something that one of the assassin was wearing/had tatooed/etc. And the reason she is in Salt Whale (I have her being originally from Azure Coasts) is that's she's gathering clues to track down the men that killed her family and this is where her investigation lead her as her next stop.
Could that work/be something you'd be interested in?

That can work.
The primary plot of the game is helping rebuild the old empire. Maybe the reason she'd get involved with that is the obvious political connections that she can make, which can help further her own goal. Also in possibly rebuilding her house once she does have her revenge (assuming that's something she's interested in).

Looks good, Horizons, but I think you forgot that Elves get proficiency in Perception as a racial trait.

So, a Monk, a Paladin and a Rogue. I like the fact that there is no Full Caster in the party, should make things more interesting.

And all three of you dumped INT. This is going to be great!

We are beautiful, we can't also be smart. We'd be too powerful 😌

April's most unorthodox belief is that Elonnorism should be spread by force. No matter how closely the faithful Elonnori follow Elonna's tenants, it will all be for naught if everyone else ruins nature, so forcing them to follow Elonnorism is a necessary evil. The fact that they won't believe in her sincerely doesn't matter, because it's their actions that will keep the world safe from her wrath. I don't know what I'll put down for alignment, though. April probably thinks of herself as Lawful Good, but who knows where she actually lands. For equipment: Glaive [6 lbs], Longsword [3 lbs], Coral Chain Mail [55 lbs?], Priest's Pack [25 lbs], the Acolyte equipment (which may be different in flavor for Elonnori), and a pouch (15 gold)

Well, that's pretty similar to the original, Gygaxian version of Lawful Good. I would say it probably comes down to just how far she's willing to go. There's a huge gap between believing something should be done and actually putting it into action. And whether she'd be willing to say, torture and kill to bring her vision to fruition.
As she is a Paladin, though, I'll mark her down as LG for now, and we'll see if that changes during gameplay.

I've started working on the sheet: Poppy
It should be almost complete, I'll start writing the longer stuff once I get back home in a couple of days. Sheet updated with equipment and features. Birthday, hmm... Let's say 7 Magmapour. This weekend I'll write backstory and the rest of the fluff, and she should be ready, I think!

Oddly enough, I'm starting the game on Magmapour 4th, so...everybody save up some shards for a birthday gift.

Is there anything else I need for April? Besides her birthday, which can be Smokehaze 15, 644.

Aside from age/height/weight, I still need her actual biography--her appearance, personality and backstory.
