[Blade Master Model 42]

In the beginning, the Goddess Rhea crafted the sea. It was beautiful, but she grew bored of the flat blue surface. And so she raised up the land from beneath the still waters, and it was wonderful. But soon, she tired of it as well. Rhea made the plants and, soon after, the animals. This occupied her fancy for a time. Then, at the dawn of the First Age, Rhea made man.

For hundreds of years Rhea shepherded man. But as the humans flourished, they began to fight amongst themselves. The goddess worked tirelessly to quell the squabbles of man, but the fire held in men's hearts is not so easily quenched.

The First Age ended when Vissar the Damned, armed with the first sword, Protafyng, slew a man whose name has since been lost to time. Rhea was shocked beyond words that one of her children would slay another. As battle erupted around her, the goddess knelt upon the ground, clutching herself tightly. She never rose, and eventually turned to stone.

At the dawn of the Fourth Age, the king of Izzarra is dead and gone, and soldiers of Mordo rule the country with an iron grip. In an age when the Goddess is gone and our King lies dead, can we still hope for salvation?

Welcome to BMM42 FEF number 3, Liberation of Izzarra. In opposition to my last game, this one is going to be much more traditional in terms of both setting and mechanics.

Example Sheet.

Who are the players? Freedom fighters, sated by morality, coin, or some combination, fighting against an occupying army however they can. I'm going to start with ten slots. I want to be very clear though that when it comes time to select players, I am going to have a definite bias to people that I know to have a good record of posting frequently, or have someone who can vouch for them that they post frequently. Characters who are interesting and fleshed out will also get you an advantage, and a cool mug is also a helpful bonus.

Character List:
1. Bertholt (ElfCollaborator): Troubadour
2. Brock (Stirk): Bandit
3. Esther (Twinwolf): Shaman
4. Farra (Aliemma): Archer
5. Kaldach (CrimsonEon): Mercenary
6. Liam (Gaterhyme): Cavalier
7. Martyn (Lucus Casius): Thief
8. Roux (GiglameshDespair): Cavalier

I'll be making my final selection on Saturday evening. In the meantime, I'll be answering any questions you have about the lore or making a character.

[Swordstar]

Going lady soldier, mug and sheet will come later

[USEC_OFFICER]

I might make a character for this. No clue what though. Maybe a healer if nobody wants to play one.

[SOLDIER First]

ptw

[birdy51]

You know, I may hop in for this one. Planning a Mage girl. Probably Thunder for the tomes.

[Tiruin]

Female archer, using my ol' Swordstar^TM mug in avatar :3 Probably archer/spy, based on lore and reasons for being present. [...maybe a spy to be fast]
Hello explorer freedom fighter! not just using the stats to get the best exp of hitting people but not killing them

Hidden Items are items placed on a map, but not visible to players. If a unit enters a space where a hidden item can be found, they have a LUK% chance to discover it.

^my life story here.

You may not base your personal skills on your own Equipment: I.E. When equipped with Slashing subcategory weapons... Is not viable. However, you may base your personal skill based on enemy equipment if you wish.

Can I say 'if melee' and I'm a ranged unit?

Proximity based skills must be triggered by at least three units within three spaces, rather than one unit.

I'll hug all my allies .///.

Personal Skills with higher parameters are available with GM approval, but must be paired with a more problematic Personal Fault.

Do you accept additions like 'does Canto' and such?
How 'high' is 'high parameters'? Can these parameters mean an increase to starting %? :3 [like, it's a skill, but not an activated one and moreso is for backstory purposes]

At character creation, if a player chooses to put two points into HP, they will receive three instead.

This is from the 4 starting stat points right?

Fire Magic is not effective vs. Undead.

Sooo, what is effective vs. Undead now ._.

I'll be making my final selection on Saturday evening. In the meantime, I'll be answering any questions you have about the lore or making a character.

Does Roleplaying and diplomacy affect rewards and plot too? Like, added maps or battles or opportunities? Does our backgrounds do something like 'added knowledge when we meet things'.

{Player's character's name}'s knowledge of {this area} has them notice a few places of importance. The region has {some backstory on worldbuilding on resources} and its people {may be specializing in this area of weaponry} and while they may have a reputation for disliking outsiders, it is moreso their severe distaste for [reasons].

[Haspen]

PTW, you crazy diamond :v

* Haspen pats BMM42

[Swordstar]

Here is mug, sheet will come later. Tomorrow maybe.

[Lucus Casius]

Well.  I.  Might join.  Perhaps grabbing one of my old characters, since it IS a freedom fighting thing.  With a different class, mind you.  Thinking mercenary.

[Lorknis]

This looks pretty cool and I've always wanted to join one of these before. I'm completely new to the rule system, however, so please feel free to scrutinize my character sheet when its done! Also I don't have one of these neat mug things, but I may edit one together (no promises in that department though).

New people! (~'u')~
You can always ask about the mug making though! Like, people can make a template for you and you can spruce it up if you've the digital programming for it [I'd suggest GIMP for starters--free download out there!] People like SeriousConcentrate/Swordstar and many more can help you out with mugs

Bio: Her first memories were of being alone, shivering as perched underneath a watery bridge and warming herself over a broken fire. All about her, children crouched in huddled masses, clutching themselves for warmth.

She did not cry. She rose, slowly, and held one younger than herself and clutched him close to her chest. No. She had to be strong. She would be strong.

Her next memory was dim and hazy. She remembered being picked off the street by one of the Sisters of Mercy. She remembered them taking her to the poor house, giving her food and rest.

Izzarra had left many children like her orphans, and the Sisters of Mercy were doing all they can just to take care of the poor and abandoned. It was not much, but it was enough to at least save Robin. Their kindness, she did not forget, but rather sought to pay back with menial labor.

Lacking name already, the nuns would name her Robin, after the cheerful birds that were never without song.  In spite of crushing poverty, a smile is never far from her face, and her first instinct is to always help another before ever thinking to help herself.

Maybe one day, she might have joined the sisterhood and become a nun herself, but fate had other plans. She found at once, a book, torn and tattered. Though she could not read, she could sense the powers beneath it's pages, how it danced at her touch.

Robin had the gift, and she did not know what to make of it. She stashed the book away, and hoped that she would never have to use it. 

But these days, things have been getting worse. Ever since the King of Izzarra died, there have been more and more people relying on the Sisters of Mercy for help. The people were suffering and deep down, Robin knew that she simply could not stand aside and allow this to happen.

The young girl went back to her secret place beneath a cold, watery bridge and took the book back from where it was hidden. Though she knew nothing of war, she steeled herself to fight for the freedom of her country. Izzarra needed to be free before they could ever find peace.

Robin of Port Talia goes to war.

First sheet, gooooo!

Character is finally done. Even if I don't get accepted, this was a fun way to learn how to make characters.

Bio: Qun is a cruel mistress with bitter winters and jagged mountains that tear into the sky, capped with snow that will never melt. The cold breeds strong warriors warmed only by their constant training for battle. Mirix's father, Doran, was one such a man. His father was a mercenary captain who could have been called crueler than even the Qun winters and was unpopular amongst his peers.

One could see the results of Doran's cruelty in the training of his own son, where he blinded him in the right eye after a particularly nasty "sparring" session when he was fifteen. Doran would fall two years later though, not in battle but by a wooden sword straight to the temple during a match against his own son. While technically lawful, this action branded Mirix a Kinslayer among his family and people and tarnished his honor.

He fled east to escape the accusing glares of his people and perhaps redeem his honor the only way he knew how. He would take up a righteous cause in his eyes so that maybe one day, he could return to his people a full man.

[Lucus Casius]

Ah, shoot.  Guess I'll find something else to be.

Also, you need to include growths.

Edit:  Also, you start as a trainee class.

Edit 2:  Trainees don't get their class skills, your weapon skills are wrong, and to my knowledge you can't boost move with your starting attribute points.

NEW edit:  Okay, since merc and soldier are both taken...  I'm probably going to go Thief Trainee -> Spy -> Assassin, Sword -> Myrm -> Samurai, or... POSSIBLY the wyvern rider route.  If any of you have any particular opinions on the matter so far as Martyn is concerned (those of you who remember him, anyway) and have any particular roles you think A) would fit his character, and B) isn't already taken in the party and could be useful, go ahead and tell me.  I try to be flexible-ish on this stuff.
