Ozymandias Character Creation Thread

[GravityEmblem]

This is the Aftermath of Ozymandias Character Creation thread, where y'all can set up your characters.

By the way, it would be nice if BBEG and Potato Golem could convert their character sheets into plain text, which is how we usually store them on this site. And Daos, should I copy Daos' Level 1 sheet from WoD, or do you want to make him from scratch?

[TheBBEG]

Two things.  First, I didn't realize how close our characters were in concept.  High dex high charisma half-elves.  I can change if needed.  Second, I can easily convert mine to a PDF and have it stored on site.  If it needs to be strictly plain text I can do that as well, it will just take more time.

There's no need to change with two. Now, three...three would require a change.

Strictly plain text would be ideal, but it's not mandatory. The way the characters are stored isn't a big deal to me, we just usually do it as plain text in a thread.

[TheBBEG]

No problems creating a plain text version.  I'm easy.  Likewise, if there is too much overlap, I can change characters.  I'll get the plain text done soon (tm).

Backstory
Flynn grew up in a nice home living a privileged life. Upon coming of age, he set out on his own hoping to have an adventure and make a name for himself. Flynn has had some adventures, but most of them started and ended in taverns, bars, and seedy gambling dens.

He has become a rather streetwise individual capable of talking his way into and back out of most situations. He also found that the musical instrument and singing lessons he was force to take as a child have paid off substantially. Heck, he has even learned enough parlor tricks to pass as real magic.

Flynn has realized that while he has learned a lot in the past few years, he is still yet to have any real adventure. Flynn has decided to put his modest fencing and magic skills to the test and answer the call for mercenaries.

Flynn is the youngest of the di Maravoni sons.  He is ready to set out with his brother Alonzo and make sure the di Maravoni boys make a name for themselves.

As soon as Zero Prime makes his character (and I get all the sheets together) we'll be able to start!

[TheBBEG]

Sounds good.  I'm excited to start.  I think the dynamic between Alonzo and Flynn will be great.

[Zero Prime]

Allow me to introduce Aerendyl vaer Tharandiir, Champion of Bahamut, Lord of the North Winds

SPOILER: Click to show

{Appearance}

Basic background at this point is that Aerendyl was born in the northern vale of Foccu, bordered with the Land of Giants. He was orphaned at a young age, an ogre-led raiding party savaged the small hamlet where his family resided. When the Foccu militia discovered the survivors, Aerendyl, along with the other war orphans were fostered in a larger village, deeper in the vale, and safer. He was fostered by the Braewater family, led by a Master Smith, so Aerendyl was apprenticed as a smith, which explains his physical strength and constitution. He fell in love with the Braewater's youngest daughter, and the two of them would often wander the vale, then when they were both 16 they discovered the ruins of a temple, the young woman, concerned her father would disapprove of the discovery fled, but something deep within called to Aerendyl. It was an ancient site of power, dedicated to Bahamut, and sat at a nexus of dragon lines that ran through the vale. For the next year, he kept up his work at the smithy, but in the evenings would escape and seek out the site, to commune with the draconic power that resided therein.

The spirit of Tharandiir, an ancient silver dragon resided at the site, and through the communion, Aerendyl was infused with his draconic knowledge, confidence and power (Arcana proficiency, Draconic Language & Charisma bonus). Through the silver dragon's spirit, he learned of Bahamut, and pledged himself to the code of the draconic knights of old.

Paladins of Bahamut valiantly follow the dragon god’s tenets of holy vigilance against evil. Those following the rigid code of a paladin must sacrifice the sedentary lifestyle of living in a single place in exchange for continuous travel and hardship. The tenets of such paladins include the following maxims.

• I am the talon of Bahamut’s wrath. I strike where I am needed, but only when evil has been unmasked and there can be no doubt of my enemy’s malice.
• When my purpose is unclear, I will walk the roads of the world to find a fresh focus. Every road leads to a new beginning.
• Nothing is worth sacrificing my life for, except protecting the lives of others. I will retreat when needed, and come back to vex my foes once again.
• Mercy is offered, but only once. Should I be betrayed in my moment of kindness, I will not stop until I have put my enemy down.
• It is not enough to slay evil and carry on. I will spend the time necessary to help those I’ve protected to fend for themselves.

However, before he would begin the itinerant life of a draconic knight, Aerendyl pleaded with the spirit to grant the northern vale refuge, to protect it from further incursions by the giants and their kin. So the spirit of Tharandiir called to his brood, and a clutch of young silver dragons, three in total, now protect the northern vale. Before leaving Aerendyl professed his love for the Braewater daughter, he would have called wife before he discovered this, higher calling. In honor of the sacrifice the young man made, the Braewater woman convinced her father to restore the site, and despite the friction it caused with the Foccu government, the northern Vale has re-established the worship of Bahamut, Lord of the Northern Wind, as he has protected the vale from giants in exchange for Aerendyl's servitude.

[GravityEmblem]

I'm thinking of just starting, since Zero Prime and Igordragonian seem to be taking a while. I hate to keep the rest of y'all waiting, and it'll be pretty easy to insert their characters into the game after it starts. Perhaps we could begin on Friday?

EDIT: Oops, I didn't notice that Zero posted a sheet link. (It would still be nice if you could put it in plain text for the Characters thread...)

[TheBBEG]

I'm ready when everyone else is.
