New Norwick, New Plot: The Favored (Character planning/discussion thread)
-
75% sure I can make it
-
Sounds good to me too!
-
Works for me!
-
That works for me, barring the unforseen!
-
New proposed start date is May 23. How’s that look for everyone?
It’ll be easy to fold in any absences for a while. So if we have five yesses, we may move ahead.

OOC: If it wasn't clear from the threads on our fiery friend, the Norwick release is now TBD. I gave Flom the go-ahead when it became clear I wouldn't have the time to work on maps last week. Tentatively shooting for the weekend after the star is put on ice.

Salina Datson - Rogue
The Datsons have lived in Norwick for generations, but now only Salina remained. They had once had a small farm of their own, before the occupation. During the Zhent's time, her family were taken away one by one. First her mother, burned alive inside their farmhouse, for trying to insist on a reasonable price for their crop. Then her father, sent to Zhentil Keep in chains for refusing to kneel before the officer who ordered his home burnt down. Finally both of her older sibings, publically flogged for reportedly passing information to the enemy - then they too followed their father in chains to Zhentil Keep mere weeks before the town was finally 'liberated'. Salina herself kept her head down until the occupation ended, she made ends meet by working shifts at the makeshift inn that would later become the Mirthful Cup.
Now Norwick is free once more, but Salina's home is still ash, her family are all dead or still suffering somewhere in the West. And despite the energetic pluck of the young survivor's demeanor, the scars of the invasion still run deep.

Marcel Deleuze - Human - Monk | Most Solemn Order of the Silent Shroud (Kelemvor).
White hair already, this almost past mid-age man carries more than one shoulder in his back. He's been a gravedigger since childhood.
(May need a delevel as he's 7. Marcel is an old character I've never had the chance to develop, nor play fully, but he's been a Norwickan since day one.)
-
Zorazina Zidane - bright-eyed and bushy-tailed human, hailing from parts unknown.
Zorazina's capacity for dreaming is as great as her impossibly huge hair. Upon meeting someone new, she'll often exclaim, even when unasked, that she's going to be the BEST BLADE-SWINGER OF ALL TIME! Just where this exhuberant confidence comes from is hard to tell - while she's physically fit and strong, it doesn't seem like she's had any serious martial training. Even so, her sheer pluck won her some modest employment with caravans across the desert wastes, mostly as a look-out. Her eyesight is keen enough, but she only ever seems to spy the strangest things.
Reporting back that she met a lizard by the crossroads who crooned a song about selling his soul to a devil in order to play the world's smallest violin - well, not only does this sound like a tall tale but is, evidentally, the sort of nonsense that gets a scout fired. Especially when that same scout completely missed the signs of a bandit ambush.
Deity: as the future greatest blade-swinger of all time, Zorazina pays enthusiastic homage to Tempus. This ardent admiration's one-sided thus far. Instead, and quite unbeknownst to Zorazina herself, she is favoured by Lurue, the whimsical Unicorn Queen.
Class: Rogue at level 1, planning to progress to fighter, then weapon-master (likely scimitar)

Sebastian Rusk. Aasimar LN of Helm Rogue/Fighter/Banner Knight is the plan. Recruit in the Norwick Redcloaks. He may or may not know that he is actually an Aasimar, even if he knows he is different.. will figure that out before play time!
Character Description is HERE
-
Thromm Ironback - Half-Giant - Shieldbearer class. | Grumbar deity.
(Or if de-level is premitted, I'd like to play my Ilmateri cleric)
-
Without going into too much detail on backstory or the God that favours him, I am considering rolling a Hawksong Moon Elven Ranger or Arcane Archer (Edited from pure Arcane Archer).
