Ok well that's alright I'll keep in mind that some of the more obscure things might be a little difficult for you. As far as where you're from, may I suggest that you take an Estalian character? I have a possible plot-hook that might be interesting. Of course it is up to you.

Yeah. OK. They look like the kind of guys I was thinking about at the time.

Name: Barnan "Smity" Arbell
Race: Estalian human
Calling: Retired Veteran Soldier
Age: 67
Height: 180cm
Weight: 75 Kilograms
Father’s name: Never knew who he was. (Grew up as an orphan)

Childhood: Barnan had no friends, he grew up in an orphanage and was almost always picked on for his hair. It had always been white for some reason. His time spent in the orphanage was spent mostly reading stories about great battles and learning to read and write. In secret he used to spend his spare time practicing sword fighting with a stick.

Since then: When he was 14 he was recruited into the army. He didn't have any say about it. In the army he only had one friend, the rest of the recruits were all too judgmental about his hair. After he left boot camp he went to the real army. His first battle was terrifying for him but after the next and the next he got more use to it, but no-one could get used to all dieing. He was one of the best and advanced through the ranks quickly and found himself leaving his friend behind. When he was 30 he almost lost his right army and had to use his left arm for most of the hard work, after a while he was good with his left hand, he could fight with it, write with it and work with it. Even after his right arm got better he still used his left for most stuff because he was more used to it. At 43 he found out that his old friend had died and it shook him up pretty bad. He had completely forgotten about him. He than realized that in his line of work he wouldn't die of old age so he set out looking for a place to settle in. At 51 he arrived in Lustria and found it to his liking. Apart from the poisonous animals, insects, plants and the heat the jungles were pretty and full of wonder. He adapted pretty well to the climate and built a house safe up a tall tree. At 53 he saved the daughter of a Lizardman Chieftain, named Tlaxtza, from a huge snake. In return the Chieftain offered him a magical long sword made of a black metal. Ever since than he has lived up in a tree and been friends with a Lizardman Chieftain. Three times he had gotten poisoned by something or a type of disease had gotten to him and the Lizardman Chieftain had saved him. He taught Barnan their language and how to make cures and antidotes for various poisons and infections. They were good friends. He had never understood why but Tlaxtza said that he could never repay him because if he hadn't saved his daughter than his line would fall because there would be no one to take his place.

Not sure if this is alright, if not I can change it.

Most effective elected official. Ever. (not counting Jubal)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

Sounds good I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

It just occured to me, we have a hell of a lot of really tall dudes. :D

Tonto is not that tall either.
Scum of the highest degree and don't let charitable citizens tell you otherwise.

Yeah I think we'll go to 6' 4" for Bjorn. Still damned tall but hopefully not going to have to duck to enter a cathedral. :P

To Mark: Well I think we'll go with it up to the point where he's looking for somewhere to settle down so we can navigate around the potential minefield of female Lizardmen. :)  So no starting with a magic sword or a house either, they'll need to be earned at a later date. Thanks mate, I'll write up your profile now.

Still waiting for Declan J to make a return appearance and for my new set of dice to arrive before we can begin. We're getting mighty close now guys.

Oh I wouldn't say ruins it, it's just that magic items and such are supposed to be rare so we can't have you starting off with one. :D

Problem is with Lizardmen, they don't have females. All lizardmen are created from spawning pools, so this guy might have saved some important lizard, but it wouldn't be a daughter.
There are many shades of skin, many colours of personality, yet when you look deep inside a person, he is just like anyone else; red and squelchy.

I enjoy negotiation, all that hacking and slashing and biting and- wait, you do it PEACEFULLY?

When the rich go to war, it's the poor who die.

This is true, they are wholly androgynous.

No Therix, the saving an important Lizardman might come later depending on what Khan does during the campaign.

I've finished writing my notes for the first campaign story arc so we're just waiting on Declan and my dice. Oh and anyone else who wants to join.
