Warhammer Fantasy RPG Signup: We have our players!

[Phoenixguard09]

I have for several years now, run a more-or-less acclaimed RPG based in the Warhammer World. It occured to me relatively recently that I could well adapt it online play. As I felt in the desperate need to GM a group once more, I went ahead and so this thread is made.

So please, if you are interested post as much on here, preferrably with at least a basic idea of what you would like to play.

Now I realise that several people are busy with Axiosa but I figured I would post this here, mainly because I'm an impatient sod and I couldn't wait to get GM'ing a group RPG again.

Player List:
Alexander: Umforth Back-Snapper, Ogre Mercenary
Therix: Cuautemoc, Saurus Mercenary
Jubal: Frederich Tybarino Bagelskuchs, Tilean Halfling Agitator
NightAngel: Tonto Mortal, Bretonnian Bard
Dripping D: Bjorn Jonstrom, Norscan Berserker
Declan Jones: A Dwarf
Mark the Khan: Barnan Arbell, Estalian Soldier

Consider my interest expressed.
If possible I would like to experiment with an ogre character, this could be quite simple because the ogres are know to hire themselves out to other races. If it is no possible to play an ogre character do not worry as I quite easy going and I will take on any roll the GM need filled. I hope everything goes forward and I look forward to playing.

I am interested, but I am not sure if I will have the time or patience, you see:
I rarely go on exilian, so might not exist at random points in the RP
I also am not sure what character to play (Ever since I heard of an idea for it I have wondered about playing a saurus warrior, but there are lots of implications related with such a character)
WHat sort of style is it going to be? I would like a mix of combat, dialogue situations and a bit of humour if that is possible.

Also, if I can't do saurus, would you mind if I go some sort of wizard, preferably human or elf, since I want to try out a personality type.

[Jubal]

Nobody seems to be playing on Axiosa atm. 

Nevertheless, consider me 110% in (also, are we doing character Gen as normal, or can we choose our start career?).

[Declan Jones]

I'd quite like to join, if you don't mind. Dwarf character, preferably.

[Captain Carthage]

Is it stat-based?

Not that it matters because nothing on this planet will stop me from taking part!

In the system we're using would it be viable to make a character who’s prime directive is to sleep with everyone important we meet? Because I’m detecting unlimited fun with that.

If all else fails Tzeentch.

[Jubal]

Don't you mean Slaanesh for sleeping with everyone?

I'd quite like to use my much-loved concept of Frederich Bagelskuchs, Halfling political agitator and worldwide professional gourmet chef and revolutionary. Though obviously only if that concept works with the rules.

Or you could go estalian diestro, no woman could resist your charms

Dwarf slayer, warrior priest or Norse barbarian

[Phoenixguard09]

Wow! This is unbelievable. I was off here for all of 9 hours and already we have massive interest.

I will be allowing you to pick your own background which will basically give you the career you want. Remember there must be somewhere to go with it, so no Grail Knights, Swordmasters or what-have-you.

To answer Therix's question, there will be several dialogue situations, quite a bit of combat, some puzzle type scenarios that will not just come down to a dice-roll and enough humour to get us by. I've been told that I'm a funny guy. Well funny git as it happens but close enough right?

To answer NA, yes it is stat-based. The profiles will be PM'd to the player at an appropriate date. By that I of course mean when we have everyone sorted out.

So we have:
Alexander: An Ogre.
Therix: I believe I might just be able to get a Saurus in there as I was in fact planning to play this out in Lustria. In that context, a Saurus is eminently possible.
Jubal: Halfling Agitator? This is completely fine. In fact it should be really interesting.
Declan J: A Dwarf.
NA: Sorry mate but you can't be Tzeentch. On the other hand I'll pm you a suggestion that I thought of.
DD: Well any of those are possible but I'd prefer not to pick for you.

So 6 players.   So at thise point just start thinking about your characters' lives specifically the following questions:
What did your father do?
How did you spend your childhood?
How did you spend the following however-many years?

There's no need to go into massive detail with these questions, just enough to allow me to flesh it out a little. On the other hand, if you want to write a novella about it, feel free.

To anyone else out there, I will accept at most three more players.

Cheers guys,

[Alexander]

Race: Ogre
Name: Umforth Back Snapper
Gender: Male
Height: 10 feet
Weight: 400-500kilos
Tribe: Maw guts
Tribe's current location: Mountains of Mourn
Position in tribe: Crusher (ogre champion)
Fathers name: Groth Head Snatcher
Fathers position in tribe: Bruiser
Childhood: I spent my childhood sneaking off to watch the hunters in my tribe over whelm and kill Rhinoxen, sabre tusks and many other large game animals. When not watching the hunts I was seeking out fights with the toughest ogres about my age most of the time coming off second best.
From childhood to now: I have lived for many moons not certain  about my age as ogres do not keep time, I made the pilgrimage to the great maw. On my return I found my parents where trampled by a herd of Rhinoxen whilst they where sleeping, many tribe members where killed along with them including my brother. Got myself into the tribes raiding parties and I earned a reputation as a mighty ogre with a gut any ogre would be proud to wear. I was promoted to a ogre crusher because of the services I have provided and the many lives I have taken and the bounty I return to my tribe after the raids.  

[Phoenixguard09]

Just a few small changes to make so that things are a little smoother in the narrative I want to have.

For one, you will be a Bull not a Crusher as a champion like status is just a little too powerful. Actually you will be on your way to being a Maneater.

So here we have Alexander's revised character. Unless you have any extra changes to make, this is it. Do we have an accord?
Race: Ogre
Name: Umforth Back Snapper
Gender: Male
Height: 10 feet
Weight: 400-500kilos
Tribe: Maw Guts
Tribe's current location: Mountains of Mourn
Position in tribe: Bull
Fathers name: Groth Head-Snatcher
Fathers position in tribe: Bruiser
Childhood: The Ogre known as Umforth spent his childhood sneaking off to watch the Hunters overwhelm and kill Rhinoxen, Sabretusks and many other large game animals. When not watching the hunts he sought out fights like any other self-respecting Ogre its age, often coming off second-best.
From childhood to now: After several years, Umforth made a pilgrimage to the Great Maw to make its observances. Upon returning, the young Ogre found his family and many members of his tribe trampled in a Rhinox stampede. Upon finding this Umforth immediately made his way to the lands of Men hoping to make a name for himself, not to mention food and gold. After years of travelling across the world, Umforth finally boarded The Celeste, a large Bretonnian Corvette headed for the colony of Bregonne on the Lustrian coast. 

(Just a few small changes so it's not in 1st person as it makes it a little easier for me to keep track of in addition to changing your latter years a little so they're not quite so overboard and puts you where I want you.)

[Alexander]

sounds fine, just wondering if I got the weight right?

[Phoenixguard09]

Meh doesn't really matter. Honestly I've got no idea.

[Alexander]

Haha, I just made a gusitmation. Its just some RPG's use the characters weight for different mechanics like opening larges or jarred doors. I was merely making sure just incase the RPG featured any mechanics that involved the weight of a character namely my character being big has its advantages.  

[Jubal]

Race: Halfling
Name: Frederich Tybarino Bagelskuchs
Gender: Male
Height: 3.7 feet
Weight: 45 kilos
Father's name: Enrico Bagelskuchs (deceased)

Story: Born in Pavona in Tilea, where he learned to cook and write in the hope of one day becoming chief cook to the Duke. Escaped Dwarf/Halfling persecutions by a new Duke (the old Duke's son, something of a species-ist who didn't trust the power and influence the Dwarfs had) at a fairly young age (these claimed the lives of his family), and travelled north to the Empire via Miragliano. The experience of seeing humans persecute Dwarf and Halfling children helped radicalise his political opinions against the nobility who had ordered the purges.

His previous adventures include travelling through the Drakwald forests and running away from Beastmen, as well as helping instigate a small revolt in Steingart in the southern Empire in which he and a number of other halflings battled Imperial troops alongside the people of Steingart and Loningsbruck. Having somehow not been killed yet, he is continuing to journey around looking for sentient beings of any race to Spread The Word To and has begun trying to write a book on his philosophies and experiences.

He is literate, highly opinionated, a fantastic baker, and will spout his rather lunatic ideas to anyone who will listen. He has dark hair, tends to wear a leather waistcoat and floppy hat, and carries a bow and a knapsack full of cooking equipment, paper, and pamphlets. Generally he has an affinity with Dwarfs (and Halflings of course), and dislikes nobility of any race.

Quotations:
"This is about the smell of freedom. Imagine freshly beaked bread, but better."
"Some of us may die today. But with noblemen crippling us with taxes and demands, are we not dead already?"
"There is nothing that cannot be solved with determination, a pen, and paper. Though liberal quantities of marmalade help as well."
"Why make a point with arrows and swords when you can make a point with words? What do you mean, that's no excuse for hiding under a cart when Beastmen are attacking?"
"I was born in Pavona, but Pavona is not my home. My home is wherever my saucepan is, wherever there are ears to listen to me, and wherever there is hope for a better tomorrow. Such is the lot of a Halfling Revolutionary."
