Bio:
As the eldest daughter of a successful but retired mercenary, Ruth grew up on her family's farm alongside an impressive and ever-growing roster of siblings. Being the eldest, she learned early and well how to wrangle and care for her damned-fool siblings, most of which seemed to take pride in bringing harm to themselves and others. When the troubles started and bandits began raiding their farm, her father and eldest brothers enthusiastically took to driving them off, while Ruth just kept patching them up like always. Swords or branches, a scrape was a scrape and her kin were determined to collect some.

However, as Ruth began to approach marryin age, it occurred to her father that her local prospects were slim. Unwilling to compromise on his daughter's future, he instead struck upon a brilliant idea: She'd join that newfangled Shields thingy, journey around, see the world, and probably meet some fancy prince or knight or somesuch along the way. Ruth thought that was a fantastic idea, donned her departed momma's best teal traveling clothes, and struck out for adventure.

Sentient Bowtie, I'm done with my sheet here, save the mug. The char skills are pretty different, so tell me if you want any of them toned down. Also, if anything confuses you, I'll be glad to explain.

I won't tell you your skills are strictly bad, because they're very unique and I can appreciate that. However, some of them are weak or just don't work like you want.

Incomprehensible Culture: It has a cool concept, but I can see tracking active personal skills outside of their actual use being rather tedious. Also, the variety of Personal Skills means you're very likely to be within range of at least one nearly all the time, so you need to change it.

Otherworldly Inspiration: Unique, simple, and probably useful. Approved.

Anthem of Many: These kinds of Personal Skills that affect others are generally not allowed (I've heard something about 'personal skills being personal'), but I'll allow it with some changes. Just not sure exactly which ones... It's in limbo for now.

Transcendent Chord: Literally useless, since Performances have no crit chance whatsoever. I'm willing to give you +1 Performance duration instead. Nope, forgot about Call Magic. Approved.

[Edit] It has come to my attention that Center and a Call Magic class is no bad, so choose a different Character Skill, if you would.

[OceanSoul]

Made the fixes. And, honestly, I was hoping you'd realize the power of Center/Imbue regeneration on Call Magic users. Especially since Center would use max growth Strength to heal, but the text of Lore Master's "Dance, Magic Dance" allows that Strength to be used for spell casting at no penalty.

Also, I've figured out what general mug I want. From this site, the body of the mug second from top right under Sacred Stones, and the face of the mug fifth from bottom-right of allies under Blazing Sword. The left eye may need to be recenterred a bit, though, but otherwise it's fine. Gonna go ask about it in the hub thread.

you could say that instead of keeping silent and also overestimating me :p

Make Incomprehensible Culture -2 DEF/RES for me, if you would. And Anthem of Many... The bonus can be +5, since it's only two people who can ever benefit at once per turn. Otherwise, it's fine.

Also, Haspen is unfortunately going to withdraw. Sad to see you go.

Bio:

Arachne the Heavenly Maiden is part of the Cult of the Sanguine Spider, a religion that believes the end of the world is nigh. After many and varied signs and portents, the apocalypse will happen, and the world will be consumed by an enormous spider. All will perish - for the good to be reborn into paradise, while sinners are forever digested in the belly of the arachnid. The Spiderites are mainly found in villages, hidden in valleys high in the mountain range of the Coastal Spires - they have steady footing on hilly terrains, and typically carried axes to clear their way - or defend their way of life. Their beliefs haven't always been the most popular, after all.
 
Her parents were Sanguine, and she was raised as part of the faith with her three brothers. She was born in the valley village of Laitfiole, where she emerged from the womb with the tiny nubs of horns on her head. It was a holy sign to the church - rather than milking goats, she was raised as a Heavenly Maiden - one of the chosen of the Cult. As she has grown, she has developed a muscled build, with what can be described as an ample chest. Her horns have grown larger and pointed, to the point she's had to modify her hood to compensate.

Growing up, she was somewhat isolated from the children by her nature as a Heavenly Maiden and the horns on her temples. It was a little lonely, but she was comforted by the fact once she came of age, she could travel out into the wider world and try to spread the faith - meet new people. She's not very confident, is a little naive, and quite easily flustered, but she has a good heart, and a solid belief in Doing The Right Thing. Her precise understanding of the Right Thing might be a little more... harsh... than most people, due to her religion, but she is, at heart, a good person.

The Shields are a good fit for one of her motivations; she's not interested in fame as much as helping people, and she'd rather feed the hungry than pile gold in a treasury. She's got a surprisingly keen eye for the skills of enemies and how to avoid them. Perhaps she'll make some friends here, as well.

One can only hope.

Bio:
Renae is a bit of an odd case among the ranks of the Shields of Caermo. While she did come willingly, and has skill that justifies her presence among them, she did not have any real wish to join them. She mostly came because of a connection with a friend - one “Nuallán Subhne”.

Renae’s family is rather poor, but their conditions are eased by their connection with the Subhne family; domestic servants, aides, sparring partners, whatever they need, it is the Eldred family’s purpose to provide, in exchange for providing food and housing. This is an amenable agreement to both parties; the nobles get their needs taken care of and the Eldred family doesn’t need to worry about basic living.

Renae is no exception, assigned to be an aide to the fourth son of the family, Nuallán, from a young age. This mostly meant following him around and listening to his orders, although unusually for nobles, he seemed to consider the lower classes worth something - this, along with their time together, allowed something of a proper friendship to form rather than just master-servant.

She joined the Shields not out of obligation as a servant - after all, they would hardly allow such a thing. She joined them out of obligation as a friend, and certainly had the healing and combat skills to back such a thing up.

Bio:
Tali spent her early years as a sheltered child. Her family was a small, four person group, with her father and two brothers. Her father was a retired hunter, now a farmer (which her two brothers followed up in), and kept his philosophy in life simple and plain, but also kept a large variety of books to keep Tali occupied, one day wishing her to be a scholar. The topic of her mother was something she learned not to approach after having asked the question at the age of 6, only meeting a grim, sad look in response. Alongside her brothers, she developed an aptitude of tilling and caring for the land, and in her free time (leaving other chores to her brothers), took up studies of hunting topics, alongside cooking and caring for food on long journeys, plus the many ways to skin and care of meat from hunted game; this was her early life, which only changed in the last years of the civil war.

Being a sheltered kid, Tali was wholly unaware of the surroundings around her, and kept solely to the household and its surrounding area. When she answered a knock on the door and came face to face with a simply armored man, gruff with mustache, and with a grim (but different) look on his face, she ran facefirst into her father as he angrily mentioned there was nobody else at home. It was saddening, however, to meet the reality of conscription--her brothers were being taken away, and her father was the only soul left to be with her. After weeks of what seemed like prolonged sadness, and a multitude of work to offset the workload of her brothers, she was approached by her father with fear in his eyes, but a sturdiness in his tone, as he told her about his wife--her mother--and the glory of being a guard of the city, alongside the many details which brought him to her and the many intricacies of the outside world there was. He explained his fears of losing others he loved, and cared little about the farm other than companionship. What with losing his two sons, whom he doubted would return in such a hectic (in his knowledge) climate filled with political unrest, he began training Tali as his wife would've wanted: Prepared for the world and all its troubles, rather than kept safe and hidden, even in the wishes to be safe.

Approaching young adulthood, Tali did not hear about her brothers through letters or otherwise, and it had been a while since the civil war had ended. She was skilled both in survival and sword, holding a replicated blade as best as her father's rusty sword would do--alongside skilled in the culinary arts, coming from her childhood love of books and blades. When opportunities came knocking, her father made sure to make the right choice this time (in his knowledge); having word from others around, he sent in her name, encouraging Tali to make a name of herself just like her mother did in defense of the country and locality, and cautioned her to use her skills for the benefit of others, just as he knew her brothers would've done. To make the community, at least, a better place, that hadn't a need to rely on conscription and rather become prosperous again. And, to also send back word to home.

Tali left for recruitment within the Shields of Caermo, with knowledge that her father would be waiting for her when she was better off--and successful--in making the best of her life.

Disciplined Finesse has to be +5 Crit as per the subcat PS rules. Also, the civil war was a really long time ago, meaning either Tali is a lot older than she looks, or you need to change part of your backstory. Otherwise looks good.

Bio: A long long time ago, an idealistic young man joined the Caermoan Knights. He had dreams of defending his countrymen, of fighting evils and righting wrongs. He found love, companionship and a group of friends who understood him. And then, they were gone, lost in the flames of a Civil War that tore village against village and brother against brother. Disillusioned and utterly broken, he retired back to his hometown, determined never to be seen again.

Decades have passed and the chaos that he saw at the end of the War does not seem to have abated in the least. Fields are still burning. Banditry is on the rise. His countrymen are still screaming. Caermo still lies in ruins. And he is still in his cups, lost in his pain. Some of his old comrades attempted to convince him to join their Defense Force but he found their methods distasteful and refused, declaring that "Soldiers are not mercenaries."

He is an old man now but old dreams die hard. One day, the Shields came to town and he saw, first-hand, their dedication and their hope and he was, once more, inspired. Vowing to right some of the many mistakes made during the War, he took up once more his old spear and armour and set off on his new destiny.

Bio:
The small fishing village of Lipiz lies on the river connecting the inland Sea of Caermo to the vast ocean beyond. It has a small population, barely breaching fifty people at any one time, mostly fishermen, merchants and farmers. The village except during the times of the various rural festivals to celebrate harvest, the solstice and the arrival of spring, where Lipiz's population swells to over two hundred people, as villagers from the surrounding towns and hamlets visit Lipiz to frolic and celebrate upon the famously beautiful riverbanks that gaze upon the clear running waters and onto the Forest of Dreams on the opposite end of the river, a sight that remains unrivalled for miles along the river. Otherwise, however, Lipiz is unremarkable, a village mostly untouched by the civil war that ravaged Caermo due to its remoteness from anyone or anywhere one might desire for any tactical reasons.

Ennis was born the daughter of the village blacksmith Bran, an unremarkable man save for his talent with the smithy who had shown up years before, quite suddenly, in the middle of the night; it was often rumoured, among the rare gossipy hens that were in quiet Lipiz, that Bran had once been a blacksmith for the royalty in the capital, who had fled in the civil war. However, being as it was a fishing village, the people of Lipiz had hardly need of his skill, save for wheelbarrows and horseshoes, and nobody quite ever knew where Bran came from, not even the wife he had taken a year into his stay. Within five, Ennis was born to them, and within two afterwards, Bran's wife had passed away, taken by a winter chill. Otherwise, young Ennis' childhood was unremarkable, as the years passed, Bran plied his trade and the village of Lipiz continued to exist, entirely unchanged; she skirted the edge of the Forest of Dreams on the other side of the river, headed over the hills that blocked Lipiz from sight not two miles from the village to look onto the distance beyond. This, for most of her life, was the extent of Ennis' world.

Yet as Ennis grew, she slowly became tired of the unchanging world she'd grown too large for. Slowly, Ennis grew disillusioned as she learned her father's craft, and she yearned to see the world beyond the Forest and the hills that had once demarcated the edges of the world for her. By coincidence, an old man- a man who had once been a knight of the Caermo military- came to Lipiz to settle down, but sought an apprentice to pass on his skills to. Ennis, having grown into a curious and restless young woman, jumped at the opportunity, and so learned the art of the lance and the horse. Though this satisfied her for a time, Ennis eventually grew tired of this too, and so sought a different, new thing to learn. The gossipy hens of the village accused the old veteran of putting odd ideas in Ennis' head, but it was unfounded; Ennis had long grown tired herself of living in Lipiz, alone and separated from the rest of the world. For her, however, it was pointless to leave; she would wander and wander, aimless and homeless, and be no better than she had once been in Lipiz.

Her chance came one day.

The bandits that had been unleashed by the chaos brought on by the civil war decades ago had finally reached the remote village, which was ill-fortified and ill-prepared for bandits. Seeing easy pickings, the bandits descended upon the village like vultures, making off with what little riches the villagers had and some of the more desirable women into the woods. Ennis and the old man, the only two armed and trained in the village, were tasked with recovering their neighbours and their treasures and hounded the bandits down. Despite being outnumbered and ill-armed with only pitchforks and old heirlooms, the two defeated the bandits, rescuing the kidnapped victims and returning the stolen goods to Lipiz. After this, Ennis finally found her calling; to protect the weak from those who would prey upon them, in this case, bandits.

Riding out with a masterfully-crafted set of armor and spear from her father Bran, Ennis rode out from Lipiz to pursue her calling, with a shred of sadness for the world she was about to leave, and excitement for the world she was about to enter. As she rode out over the hills that marked the two-mile mark from Lipiz, she gazed once more upon the village, swearing only to return when she had fulfilled her purpose, and then continued on her journey, wherever it took her. Months have passed since Ennis left Lipiz, and from time to time, bandits might be found in the countryside of Caermo, hearing tell of the Little Knight, a knight of short stature who happens upon injustices and rescues victims, before riding off as quickly as they appeared, with hair as red as fire and a spear as quick as wind.

Ennis is, indeed, rather short, standing barely at five feet with vivid red hair, green eyes and a rather large bust, as if to compensate for her short stature. Personality-wise, Ennis is rather humble, looking upon herself as merely doing her part for the people. She is naturally curious, hungry for knowledge of the world she has introduced herself to, and wilful and determined, standing her ground for what she believes. She is propelled by a fierce sense of justice, one that drives her and one that she sees as defining her purpose; though normally rather quiet and mild-mannered outside of battle, Ennis becomes a woman possessed in battle, fierce and overwhelming to compensate for her little size, demanding that her opponents 'count up their crimes', ere justice be done upon them.

Looks good.

Bio: A boy as young as Henry shouldn't be as experienced a fighter as he is. Originally the son of an apothecary in Norcliffe, his small town - more of a village that cropped up around a wayfarer's resting point - was less than a day's travel from Becker Pass on the border of Lorgen; when the pass was taken by a large gang of bandits, his home was engulfed in war by that night. Grabbing a fallen militiaman's helmet (for protection; it was all he had time to take), some herbs from his father's shop, and the hatchet his father used for gathering plants, Henry fought his way through the carnage with the only remaining survivors - his heavily wounded older brother Girard and his scared little brother Eric, carrying the older one on his back as he went. He fought his way out of Norcliffe, getting himself and his siblings as far as he could each night and finding a place to hide during the day - just in case.

Eventually the trio of siblings fell in with a mercenary troop called the Defense Force, where he was basically given a suit of armor and told to get back out there since he was a competent healer and had experience fighting. He didn't like the fact that the Defense Force left villages to save themselves unless they paid - in his opinion - exorbitant fees, and as soon as he made enough money to set up Girard and Eric, he quit and instead took up with the Shields of Caermo - they did good, honest work, and it was a good way to make sure no one had to go through what he had.

As for who he is, no one really seems to know. He hasn't been seen with his helmet off since he's gotten it, so his age and face can only be guessed at though he does sound to be in his mid-to-late teens - which makes sense, as Norcliffe fell four years ago. He's about 6' tall and a bit gangly and thin, though he's actually fairly strong and swift from fighting. He's not exactly a loner, but he tends to stick by himself when given leave, reading or writing letters to his brothers. It is known that he sends most of his pay back to them to pay for their lodging and upkeep, since the Shields take care of most of his needs. He's friendly enough when approached, though often seems lost in thought when immediate action is not required.

Looks good.

Bio: Simon discovered how it felt to wander the streets aimlessly at a young age, after a bandit raid ruined his life. Back in that day, taking what supplies and little coin the inhabitants of the growing village had to offer hadn't been enough for the brigands, and in the end some of the healthiest villagers were rounded up to be used for forced labor or sold away. While his parents managed to hide him during the abduction, they weren't as lucky. With his mom and dad gone it was hard for Simon to live on, at least until the priests of the village's church chose to adopt him, hoping to give him a better future. While he was taught how to write and read as well as general knowledge, they also taught him about light and darkness, as well as about the entity they worshiped and hoped to arrive to assist them during times of need.

During his teenage years Simon was taught how to use a weapon; Light magic instead of a sword or an axe. That made him confused, considering the priests apparently had the resources to fight back the intruders and yet chose to not act. And yet again after a few years there was another raid, but this time the number of brigands was much smaller and Simon was the first to show up. Since the bandits weren't expecting any resistance, he had the element of surprise in his favor and managed to take down a few of them before the others retreated. His actions bothered the priests as they went against their beliefs; he should simply have waited for their enlightened superior being to judge those bandits instead of fighting them. Simon chose to leave the village right after that, because in his mind there was only one way to handle those constant attacks: purify the intruders. And he has a very twisted concept of what "purification" actually means.

But such task was too big for him to achieve so easily and worse yet, alone. That was yet another good reason for him to leave his hometown; to look for a new place to hone his skills. And that's when he heard about the Shields of Carmo, a group that was willing to fight back against the encroaching chaos and bring some semblance of order to the country. That was just the opportunity he'd been looking for.

Bio: Nuallán is the fourth child and third son to a growing family, born in a state that had certainly seen better days. While the Subhne name had decades ago evoked wealth and power in the family's home region, close to the woodlands, its fortunes had changed during the civil war, when most of their riches were squandered. The then patriarch spent most of the household's wealth in a risky gambit to try and safeguard the bloodline's future no matter the victor, sinking fortunes into both sides in different places. In the end there were no victors and no compensations of any kind, and the Subhne were forced to lick their wounds for several years to come.

Though diminished, it wasn't like they stood around doing nothing. The family still had a state and could survive fairly well, even if they were impoverished compared to their former selves and had to deal with the problems of its surrounding villages. Back in the worst days some of the family actually began to learn some more dignified commoner activities like crafting on top of the learning that was expected of them. Since then, things have actually improved and Nuallán arrived to a household that's restructuring and trying to get back on its feet.

Nuallán grew healthy and happy, playing with the children of the house's remaining servants and studying diligently to become a child worthy of his family name. When the time came to take up a weapon and train, most of his brothers and sisters either chose swords and spears to duel and attack from horseback or picked up magic, befitting a line with a fame for being fiery. The boy was the odd one out and ended up falling in love with the bow; its range, its power and the elegance of the movements used to fire an arrow captivated him. He was quick to fire witty jabs at anyone who questioned his choice of weapon—siblings included—and when unmoving targets became boring he started to join hunting parties to bag game and train his archery.

It soon became clear that Nuallán was both extremely confident in his skill with bow and arrow as well as very patient, an odd trait compared to many of his hot-headed siblings. He could lay, unmoving, for hours before springing an ambush onto a wild animal. Of course he wasn't as good a shot as the experienced hunters, but he improved quickly and what had started as something to hone his archery skills became a true hobby. Unfortunately, his joy was ruined by banditry. Though the bandits had always been a bother thanks to the breakdown of law enforcement that came with the civil war, they'd been getting more daring. When the criminals started to deplete game from the forest right by the Subhne estate, that was when Nuallán finally lost his cool. He mustered a group of hunters and started to ambush the brigands until they finally escaped the woods, but that wasn't enough.

Feeling like he wouldn't be free to practice his archery and hunt until some semblance of peace was restored to the country, Nuallán joined the Shields of Caermo. Contrary to expectations, despite his haughtiness and confidence he doesn't belittle the lowborn in the Shields' ranks. His family's past means they created a bond with their servants that's closer than normal for noble families as a survival mechanism. Nuallán actually spent part of his childhood playing games with peasant children, which controls part of a highborn's inherited superiority complex. His snarky comebacks might also sting, but so far he has avoided any major incidents.

Despite what's expected from an archer and his tall and thin figure, Nuallán has strength in places other than his arms. His hunting hobby means that he's constantly climbing trees, trekking through the woods and maybe running away from a ferocious critter if things go pear-shaped (he refuses to admit if the last ever happened).

I realize you'll have updated your sheet by the time this is posted, so it looks good.

Looks good. Your connected backstory will not save you now.


Another little note: Some changes have been made to certain Trainee and First Class base / promotion stat bonuses.

-Performer Trainee base DEF and RES are now 2 and 4 respectively, instead of 1 and 3
-Rider Trainee base MAG and CON are now 0 and 5 respectively, instead of 1 and 4
-Thief Trainee base SKL, LUK, and DEF are now 4, 3, and 1, instead of 5, 2, and 3 respectively

We can worry about First Classes later. For now, if you're an affected class, please change your sheets accordingly.
