THE PACK Message Boards

What a corney name... but it's twice as bad as the other game; Birth of the Deathwatchers.

There will be a couple of threads used in the game. This character thread, the rules thread (which will also include the gaming system rules), and the 'in character' thread. Any of you can start as many out of character threads as you want. They will not apply to the game. This is because, when I'm pressed for time, I will check only the following things:

Godnotes (PMs)
In Character Thread
Character Descriptions
(maybe) the Rules Thread
and that's it.

Out of character discussions about what is going on in the game are done at your own risk. I will not be entering any out of character info (aside from fiction I make publicly available anyway). If you tell another player something secret about your character that you don't want anyone else to know, they can use it in game. It doesn't matter if it happened in person, over the phone, via email, on this discussion board, or any other means known to anyone in this universe (anything I missed?).

As an exception to the Rules post, keep your character description updated.

So. On to character descriptions. Humans, Werewolves, Weretigers, Werebats and Werebears are allowed. Other were races are allowed, if you PM me and I send you my approval.

Character descriptions will have (in addition to your description, history, and anything else you want to put in there):

Character Name

Race-specific rules:
Humans have humanisitc abilities. I will update this later with any specific rules.
Other races will be added in time (while you don't get to change your race, you can start a new character as a new race, if you die, and I've already added more races).
Weres: They have better senses and are more closely tied with their instincts than humans are, for better and for worse. They posess the ability to transform on their own, and they also transform on a full moon whether they like it or not. 1 MP is consumed (for that day, until rest is had) per transformation. That doesn't mean change into a werewolf and change back. That is one TF period.

Now, who are you and what do you look like?

Oh, and choose a character concept, occupational preferrences and the like. Here's a list to get you started (though this isn't mandatory or anything):

Advocates (lawyers), Armorsmiths, Bakers Barbers Bards (resident) Bards (wandering) Bathers Beer-Sellers Blacksmiths Bleachers Bookbinders Booksellers Bowyer Buckle Makers Butchers Caravaners Carpenters Cartographers Chandlers Chicken Butchers Clergyman Cobblers Coopers Copyists Cutlers Doctors Fishmongers Fletcher Furriers Glovemakers Guards Harness-Makers Hatmakers Hay Merchants Healers Inns Jewelers Locksmiths Mages Maidservants Masons Merc Companies Mercers Mercs Noble Old-Clothes Painters Pastrycooks Plasterers Priests Pursemakers Roofers Ropemakers Rugmakers Saddlers Scabbardmakers Sculptors Spice Merchants Tailors Tanners Taverns/Restaurants Thieves Undertakers Watercarriers Weaponsmiths Weavers Wine-Sellers Woodcarvers Woodsellers Soothsayers Smugglers Assassins and anything else you can come up with.

EDIT: Related to your concept (or not at all, your choice - you can always tell others your a blacksmith, but you really don't have any skill in it)...
Skills.

At creation, you will start with six skills of your choice. This includes any magic schools, domains, paths, spheres of influence, disciplines, etc. So, if you'd like to use magic, it will cost you, since you'll be devoting some of your skills to that instead of other things.

At creation, you will have

Milini (NPC example) (deceased) (an advanced character - that lived in the game world for quite some time....)

Skills:
Master: Magic: Travel
Veteran: Magic: Diviniation
Expert: Magic: Enchantment
Expert: Diplomacy
Expert: Scholar
Journeyman: Meditation
Apprentice: Healer

Occupation:
Oracle of the Divinorium. Despite her young age, she had an unnatural ability to gather the Vision's thoughts.

Small of frame, confined to the Heart of the Eye. She is pale as the clouds, her brown eyes and hair showing a calmness that hid her innermost thoughts from anyone. Often dressed in a simple robe, she lives in the Heart of the Eye, in the city of Kar. Kar calls itself the City of Magic. The plateau that the city sits on is ruled by various orders of magi.

Her goal in life is to be free of everyone, including her employers. While they treat her with the utmost dignity and respect, at the age of fifteen, she craves independence. That is something the Divinorium cannot allow her to have.

She died at the age of fifteen. Referrence Nephyl's Heritage, Page 2, I think.

Novice: Knowledge - Animal Behavior

* Sometimes has difficulty in social situations

Advantages:
* Light Sleeper
* Agile and Sure-footed
* Stamina

Physical Description:
A sturdy young man -- not muscular: healthy. He wouldn't win any arm-wrestling matches against your average full-grown man, but he could easily outperform a bookish-type or the like. He is possessed of a somewhat tall, light frame, and moves with agility and surety. He could maintain a light run all day.

Behavioral Description:
A lover of nature and animals, he values solitude and freedom over a busy life of responsibility. However, he tends not to anticipate the future beyond the current day or the requirements of the season, a trait which has often landed him in one tight spot or another. He's not one to care about promises, and doesn't understand it when people voluntarily submit to restrictions, such as those you might find governing a city. Doesn't always catch the details in a social situation.

He tries to avoid confrontations whenever possible, and will always flee if able, rather than come out on the bad end of a fight.

There is nothing he hates more than being confined in a small space, or having his freedom taken away. He also dislikes being bored.

A light sleeper.

how do you make a player

The game is currently suspended, so there is no reason to make a character right now.

Goddamn it u say i made my character for nothing? HATE U,nO i love u

Suspended? *grins* You did that all for me!? *grins again* Anyway I'm back...if you coudn't tell...why did ya'll suspend it anyway?

Darkmoon wrote:Suspended? *grins* You did that all for me!? *grins again* Anyway I'm back...if you coudn't tell...why did ya'll suspend it anyway?

Baphnedia has a lot going on, with a promotion (and a transfer?) and some other things. The game was never really officially suspended, but after a good while with no posts, I unstickied it. Without a GM, it just kind of... died. I don't know whether or not it will continue in the future.

-- Vilkacis

I did indeed get promoted, and will be moving to Arkansas (the aforementioned Transfer). Once I'm settled there, I may get the game going again - I don't intend for it to stay in this state for too long, though I won't be over there till October.

Granted, it's a lot shorter amount of time than a deployment. I'm counting my blessings.

I'll also be writing fiction to go along with the game, as the situation the characters is surrounded in is getting layered, though I don't know if I'll lay it on thick when I return. I may or may not have the time.

I'm still writing more material for the game, and when it's active again, you'll see the Ghulidalen threads up at the top. Likewise, I'll have links to my own Books forum that discusses features of the campaign world, to answer questions, etc.

Furthermore, I may be starting the game up in a chatroom with scheduled game times, and a veritable system in place. I'll let you all know which route I take when I get things going again. I don't mind that the game was unstickied.

So when will you be set up in your home?

Description:
Rather muscular with pointed fingernails, Sharp eyes, and a quick blade. Although she prefers to fight hand-to-hand. She's a little robust and has a quick temper.

She's extreamly intentive in situations and leaves no stone unturned. This quality had led her avoid tight spots and anger others who rather keep secrets. Sporting a red shirt and bage trousers she not hard to spot.

She has a deep love of the forest and would live there forever if she didn't have to make a living. Catching animals in the forest and selling there hides to overpaying nobles. meanwhile keeping the meat for herself.

She barely sleeps and if she does it's only for a few hours. She doesn't like talking to people when she's reading, eating, or running. Which is most of the time. She hates to be kept unbusy, so she reads lenghtly novels and does a little adventuring on the side.

23Jarden wrote:and is a furrier the same thing as a trapper?

Furrier:

1. One that deals in furs.
2. One whose occupation is the dressing, designing, cleaning, or repairing of furs.

So... a trapper is probably a furrier, but a furrier is not necessarily a trapper.

-- Vilkacis

So then I can put in Furrier as an occupation?

Sounds fine to me. I won't be settled in until probably late october - but I'll be keeping the group informed.
