WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. When did this happen?

...PTW for now.

[SeriousConcentrate]

@CE: The game hasn't started yet if you want a shot at being in the first five.
@Haspen: Sure did. It took me like two hours to get one that looked interesting enough.

[Praefectus Screptum]

Yeah, it is not the same thing but you got my point. Also the Wiki thingy is fine to me.

[Haspen]

Also, how close the 'mercenaries' are? Just formed into a group? Or are there pre-existing ties of any kind?

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'm leaving that up to the players, once I have the initial party announced. They can decide if they've worked with Foster for a long time or just joined up with him or whatever. I don't want to make too much of an impact on the social dynamics and therefore Supports of the group. Foster himself, however, has been a mercenary for about twenty years and has been leading his own for at least five years.

[Haspen]

Hmmm... I'm now keen on having Ramena 'stumble' onto Foster and his mercenaries fighting against someone (so, during first chapter/prologue/whatever you name it), and she would be willing to join them.

Or ultimately, the very first quest of the mercs is a random happenstance of 'save the girl from bandits' scenario where Ramena happens to be the poor girl in distress. Well not so poor given she knows how to defend herself

[SeriousConcentrate]

Hmm, so, leave you out of the 'starter' rolls, then? I have no problem with you wanting to be introduced in a specific scenario, I just like to have everything nailed down before I make any moves that could exclude somebody on accident.

[Haspen]

Wait, what 'starter' rolls? o:

[Xanmyral]

SHEET DONE! Bio... To do later.

[SeriousConcentrate]

@Hasp: Like I said, I'm not just taking the first five people to finish a sheet. Once I'm fully ready to start, I'm going to count up how many characters I have, find an appropriately sized die, and roll it five times to determine the first five characters playing.

[Haspen]

Oh, that.

Sure, I can pop in middle of a chapter instead of being in starter group :3

Spoiler: Updated Bio (click to show/hide)

Nathara Meless, age 16 of southern Maskep is and has been very much a scholar. She, to describe her in a word, is curious. She loves to read magical tomes, to practice magic with her own ten fingers, to dig into magic and find the little corners of magic. She’s also recently shown an interest in dark magic- because it’s unknown and full of markings each with their own meaning, she finds herself wanting to explore it too. However, she’s still incredibly naïve- while she may be intelligent, she seems to expect things to be better than they really will be, and is not particularly emotionally willed. She’s focused on magic, very much, and this is both a boon and a drawback- while it allows her to use magic with ingenuity, it also has the disadvantage of preventing her from really paying attention to anything outside of her work when she’s using magic, often missing things said to her, and falling prey to the world around her from simply refusing to take her nose out of the tome or out of the runes. She once walked straight into a ditch when she was reading, and by the time she managed to get out she’d managed to minorly break her elbow.
      Nathara was born in a rural area of southern Maskep with the talent for magic, and expressed magical talent from an early age- merely a year after she learned to read (she learned to read at five years old- her family is not particularly poor, one parent being a merchant and the other an Anima mage), she started to learn to read magic. Not very long after at all, she learned how to perform parlour tricks- but she took like even these simple tricks like a fish to water, learning to improve the tricks to add minor little effects. And encouraged by this, she continued to learn. And aside from a few injuries (like above ditch incident) her magic tutelage progressed swimmingly, aided by the fact that Maskep is hardly a magic-less country.
    However, now that she’s worked her way up to the commonly available spell of fire, and finally proved herself able to use it, she’s finding that she is not able to get any other spells as a civilian. And as such, she decided to become a wandering mage for a while- finding it spectacularly harder to go alone than she had thought. Realizing by now (and she had already left Maskep for the time) that she may not have thought this out (yet not even realizing the half of it yet), she went and looked for a group she could join to fulfill her goals of studying magic- like, for example, mercenaries.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Okay, got a character worked out, I still need to look at the world fluff and figure out his backstory.

Can I specifically come in on a map where there are bandits or an attacking force of some kind that could destroy a farm, by any chance?

[Praefectus Screptum]

Here is Vandertz's mug, just in case you need it.

[SeriousConcentrate]

That's a third guy who wants to be involved in bandit attacks. XD It's a very popular scenario, apparently. Well, I'll think of something. Anyway, Travis looks fine, I'll add him to the OP.

BMM42: 6, 5, 8. Choose from Ice, Dark, or Water.
