It'd be important to note my weapons I suppose. .

I'm looking forward to Nathan meeting a rockman and a fishman... me oh my, is the negative trait 'stereotypist' going to make things difficult to begin with XD.
Rhythm doesn't mean having to ryhme, by the by, juuuuust incase you thought that. Probably my wrong impression of what I read thar. :3

Nathan would probably have SOME knowledge in... well... I imagine whatever counts as wood elf if such a thing exists, and their language. Not much. Like the ability to say simple sentences. Less so whatever Angelborn speak, but he'd recognise the language if spoken.

Ah, the equipment is more of a request- trying to think of how to get a fisherman miner led to imagining how that would even work. I didn't want to put the idea to waste, (even though he's not really a miner- I have an excuse but don't want to spoil his history just yet), so included it and thought up an excuse for having it.

[Maxinum McDreich]

Well, it piqued my interest, so I have now equipment and I added another weakness I meant to have put in earlier, but didn't know how to word it. I like to balance out my positives with negatives.

Spoiler: Joe has arrived! (click to show/hide)

Name: Joe Bridger
Race: Human
Age: 86
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 100 lbs
Appearance: Joe is in his mid-eighties, with a white beard to his waist. He wears a black leather tunic and breeches inscribed with aqua threads as adornment. He carries a walking stick. He wears deer-leather boots with curled points. He has a black belt adorned with aqua thread slung with an assortment of pouches strapped to his waist.  He wears a round black leather hat with an upturned rim and a falcon's feather stuck into it. His hair is long and groomed into a loose mane. He is old, pale and wrinkled. He is very tall. His eyes are blue.
Strength 8, Stamina 8, Agility 25, Speed 10, Endurance 8, Willpower 28, Intelligence 28, Perception 18
HP: 12
Level: Adventurer 1, Elementurge 2, Scholar 1
Virtues (Although mine are set up more like traits):
(Critical - 3pts)
Elemental Scholar- Joe has spent his whole life in the pursuit of his magic. This gives him the ability to use Elementurgy, and gives him a summons cap of 2.
(Major- 2 pts)
Elemental Companion- During his career, Joe has acquired a companion from the planar realm, who serves him willingly (Doesn't count against summon count) and offers aid and advice. Joe is followed by Sasha the Air Elemental. Sasha can fly at will, use air magic, and speak Elementare.
(Minor-1 pt)
Experienced- Joe has had a lot more time to prepare for his career as an adventurer than most heroes. Thus, he has higher raw abilities.
Flaws: At least 5, no more than 7.
(Critical - 3pts)
Old- Entering the heroes' life at the end of one's own life isn't easy, you know. Joe takes stiff penalties to anything involving physical exertion, as well as somewhat less heavy penalties to anything requiring good eyesight.
(Critical- 3 pts)
Planar Foe- As it may be known, magical enslavement is not viewed well by certain parties. As a result, the Planar Elementals have Joe marked for death. Elementals encountered will be hostile and will attempt to kill Joe at any cost, ignoring use of tactics. In addition, Elementkind in general really don't like him.
Hobbies:
Major- Concentration
Minor- Knowledge: Planar
Feats:
Eternally Alert- While conscious, Joe cannot be caught flat-footed or victim of a surprise round, and gains a situational +2 bonus to initiative.
Craft Vessel- Joe can prepare spells to be used at a moment's notice by summoning the required elemental and binding it to an artifact along with a spell forcing the creature to perform a predetermined set of tasks.
Gods:
Amral, Daimonas, Kuro

I believe you called for a character? I'm not quite done, but I'm on it.

EDIT: Now done.
UNEDITEDIT: Jacked up stats because I've already got elemental strike teams on me anyway.

[Xanmyral]

I can see this going interestingly.

[Xantalos]

*sees the name Joe Bridger*
Oh lawdy.

[Remuthra]

*sees the name Joe Bridger*
Oh lawdy.

No worries, I make special serious Bridgers when I feel the game tone is too serious to be running about talking to myself and wearing clothes that haven't been invented yet.

[Ross Vernal]

I assume from virtues/levels/feats/hobbies that you automatically have anything relevant to your possession. You can include minor magic items and some good stuff, but no Masterful Diamond Katanas +5.

I will track some things (gold, plot items, major items, etc) but I am working on a basis of mutual trust.

Also, wow, those are hiiiigh stats. Can you keep it in the 20's, please? Else I'll have to unleash some mighty opponents indeed, and they would not play nice with others. >_>

[Remuthra]

Alright, I'll set them back down. I figured since I already said my character was going to be attacked by powerful elementals, it would be better if they actually were powerful elementals.

[Xanmyral]

All I can say is I'd suggest hiding the 'forcing elementals to do stuff' from the elemental in the party. Might not go well, maybe. Haven't thought much about his stance on other elementals beyond "they're of similar race."

Items for Jewel is nothing more than fancy adorned armor, a weapon I've yet to decided but probably a bludgeoning one of some kind, and stuff to indulge in his hobbies. Well, along with stuff he needs to survive too, like rations and stone rations, but I assume that inferred.

[Remuthra]

Yep, I did not check who else was joining me. Interesting party dynamics ho!

I guess I could use some sort of elemental control spell.

My preferred list of items are my walking stick, enchanted with the power to shield me from a single attack per day; a selection of flasks and pouches; a collection of magical reagents; a book for storing my spells; two iron totems for elemental storing; a plain dirk; and a magical amulet that helps me channel my magic.

Also, an explanation of my thoughts on Elementurgy. Elementurgy is focused around bending planar beings to one's will. The only actual magic cast is used to summon and manipulate elementals. Through this, the adventurer can not only summon an elemental to fight as a minion, but also to summon an elemental force to perform a task. Thus, the hero can also summon an elemental to do something such as opening a lock or calling up a sandstorm. The difference from other magics is that an elementalist can only maintain a certain number of servants at once. Thus, if an elementurge calls up the sandstorm, he cannot summon as many elementals while the sandstorm is raging. A summoned elemental is dismissed from this plane once its task is complete, or it can be dispelled by a word from the caster. Other elementals must be dispelled by a much longer spell. More powerful elementals can perform tasks better, but require better skill checks to summon and enslave. Is this a satisfactory model?

[Xanmyral]

Hm, does make me wonder though. If elementals are to come from a different plane, how that interacts with Jewel. I was assuming that since they were a racial selection, they were simply another race that inhabited the world. Hm... Gotta think up of how Jewel wound up amongst dwarves. Who are also elementals, technically, I suppose.

Or is there two types of elementals, ones from a different plane who are more forces of nature and ones who inhabit the actual world, more individualistic than their more primal counterparts? That could be interesting.

[Remuthra]

I assumed the planar setup was like D&D, and elementals on the earth came from the planes and migrated there.

[Xanmyral]

Perhaps, I'm not really that sure. I know that dwarves and dyrads are confirmed for being elementals, goblins fey, and I can't really garner much else of a guess beyond what I hazard at what else there is. So far there's only been sapient undead seen, for instance, although their morality is at question but most don't seem to bother with them. That and angels aren't good and demons aren't evil, rather just representing either major or minor aspects of a deity respectively, to catch you up a bit.

Planar wise, beats me, never thought to ask of such. I think they were hinted at when Ross mentioned death.

[Remuthra]

I just realized Chink has a completely different class he already called the Elementalist. I'll rename my school of magic to Elementurgy.
As far as Jewel goes though, I can see two solutions here. Is Jewel a member who follows the laws of her race or that would be propelled by my atrocities into being affected by murderous blood rage? If not, we may be able to RP it out. Otherwise, I could try to cast a spell on her that meddles with her mind so she ignores it.
