Duplicity

A D&D Inspired Rp

Premise


Many years ago two children from different families came together and became friends. They played, they grew, they learned; as children tend to. Both grew to fine young men who had a flair for the world of magic; attending a far off academy to hone their respective talents. They both were very successful in their own way, excelling in different fields of magic but complimenting each other as well as any two could.	

	There was little time to much else other than study and practice but when such a luxury as down time came along you could bet they would be in the cities grand market center sifting through trinkets of this and that in hopes of finding a needle in a hay stack. One day, they found such a needle; more accurately two pieces to a rune engraved medallion. One-hundred gold pieces is what it cost but to them they felt the strange markings would pay off in spades. 

	How both right and wrong they were. The runes were unlike any they knew and even when presented to those that were far more learned they discovered nothing to translate it. So each of the friends retained one half and parted ways upon completion of their apprenticeship, setting out to try to solve the puzzle which now hung around each of their necks.

	Research and luck in the depths of the archives after years of looking, hidden beneath layers of dust and long forgotten scriptures, led one of them to quite the discovery one late night as he burned the midnight oil. An ancient scroll finally allowed him to translate his half of the medallion. Excited beyond belief he quickly wrote to his childhood friend so they could come together and finally solve the mystery that had plagued them for so long.

	Such a prize they found out they did hold. A necomancers tool to control the undead, creatively enough called The Amulet of the Dead. Yet they only had two out of three parts, the third, a gemstone in the middle, was missing. The two pieces would allow the wearer to control undead to a point but once they had the gem, they would be nearly untouchable. One man saw the darkness within such an item while the other could only see the potential power to wield. And so the decent into betrayal began.

	One refusing to give in, the other plotting and scheming to obtain his darkest desire. One thing led to another and poison was slipped into an evening nightcap. He did not mean to kill his childhood friend, only to weaken him enough to take what he wanted. Such a loss only drove the remaining man further into the abyss, thinking that now, once he recovered the gem spoken about on the back of the amulet, he could perhaps raise his friend once again.

	More years passed, more madness, in search of the missing piece until finally its location was discovered but it was heavily protected in such a way he knew he would need help; of the undead kind. But where to find enough dead to raise? Why not right there, between the shakily peaceful lands between the Orcs and Humans? Crush the treaty between the two and start a war. War brought death, death brought a possible army of undead for the now mad necromancer.

	More plotting and war had broken out, orcs slaying humans, humans slaying orcs. The body count is climbing and time grows short. This is where we begin, in the middle of a town on the outskirts of war is where our adventurers will meet. Why they are there is up to you, what happens next will be shown by me in the first ic post.

	Will you join me?

Holy hell that CS is in depth. Good thing I have a few days in between exams to fill it out


As a DM for DnD who deals with new players a lot since I run games for the club at my university, you can easily do your stats you using the numbers 15,14,13,12,11,10 (normally the last two numbers are 10 and 8, but this isn't DnD) as a basic stat set from best to worst.

The way I teach new players what stat does what is with tomatoes

Str- ability to crush a tomato
Con- ability to eat a rotten tomato and not puke
Dex- ability to throw and dodge a tomato
Int- Ability to know a tomato is a fruit
Wis- ability to know a tomato does not belong in a fruit salad
Cha- Ability to sell a tomato based fruit salad

(sorry if I'm being too DMish, I just really like DnD)

@Experiment 249 Lmao, I've used similar to teach state basis. You are perfectly fine, DnD is a passion (One I have had had since the 80's, lol) We have several DM's that have shown interest for this Rp; myself, yourself, Sigil and others. (Not sure if that is going to be a good or bad thing yet, :p)

And yeah, the CS is a monster but it really isn't that bad, just broken down to a less than paragraph form for easy reference. (Plus it helps someone really think out their character fully.)

@Experiment 249 No, not for this. Just giving a base line of stat points to keep people on a generally equal level. (Since there are several that have no background in DnD, it keeps things a tad simpler. Now, racial attributes, such infravision, are available and there is a place for them. Anyone that isn't learned in them I'll drop a line once they pick a race if need be.)

Probably going way too DnD on this, but I'm making a Gnome Rogue (arcane trickster) and was wondering if I should have him start off with magic, as opposed to waiting until level 3 to gain spell casting since levels might not exist? If we're not doing levels how powerful should I make him?

@Experiment 249 It will depend on how you want to play him, we are looking about a level 3 to start, so if you want magic to start out it is an option. That being said, I do give generously through out an Rp so scrolls, magical items, spell books, weapons, armors, and such will pop up over the course of the Rp. There will be plenty of chances for advancement, experience and to grow powerwise. 

Personally, I usually prefer for people to start out minimal and work up - it leads to a much more dramatic rp over all. I will have my character sheet up today for people to make reference to.

But again, completely up to you.

Psychological Attributes

Brave * Suave * Noncommittal * Criminal


Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Lucan's personality is fairly well summed up using the same term that exists as his previous profession - a Con Man. Lucan is a liar, a cheat, a charmer, witty and sarcastic. He has a way with words and knows how to twist them so that anyone may fall into his trap or believe what he has to say. When he has a desire to be genuine and friendly with an individual, he can be fairly easy to get on with, but the difficulty with Lucan is that it is hard to tell whether or not he is genuine. Overall, he is not the most trustworthy of individuals, likely to betray, backstab and sell out anyone he knows for the promise of coin, or something better than he is currently getting not to sell someone out. To those who perhaps do not know the true depths of Lucan's personality, he would essentially seem to be little more than an ass.

Despite himself being untrustworthy, Lucan has difficulties of his own finding the capability to trust other individuals. A man who has spent a great deal of his life running and hiding from the law, he holds a general fear of placing trust in individuals for the thought that they may sell him out, as he would do them. Lucan holds this fear in terms of relationships as well, he is generally noncommittal with a partner, and many of his past relationships have involved a few sexual encounters and a stealthy retreat into the night after he has gotten bored. He is generally incapable of settling down, and spends most of his time moving from town to town, and tavern to tavern looking for work, people to rob and ale to drink.

Despite the fact that Lucan is nearly constantly running from the law, he is not one to run and hide from a fight. Should some sort of challenge be issued to him, or the law finally catch up to him at some point, he will not shy away, and instead turns to face the problem head-on, usually resorting to violence when words will not do the trick. He is not at all against the use of violence, but will generally avoid resorting to it when he can see an alternative.

Habits: Drinking (Mild Alcholism), Taking stupid bets/dares for small amounts of money
Hobbies: Gambling/Sporting
Fears: Imprisonment, Sailing, Teleportation
Likes: Gold, Alcohol, Busy Taverns, Women (Of Any Kind), Gullible Individuals, Halflings
Dislikes: Rules/Laws, City Guardsmen, 'Heroes', Loyally Married Women, Politics, Puzzles

Skills


Horseback Riding: Lucan's main mode of transportation is by horse, and he regularly moves from town to town, often in a hurry, and so he has become accustomed to and skilled with riding a horse. At the very least, he knows how not to fall off.
Swordsmanship: Much of Lucan's young life was spent as a pit fighter and duelist in Baldurs Gate, and he has used his skill with the sword as a bandit in his later life, as such he's become quite remarkably skilled with a single blade.
Survivalist: Sometimes, not even the most isolated and tiny hamlet on the map is safe for a wanted criminal, and so there have been many instances where Lucan has had to resort to living in the wilds. After doing this so many times, he's become used to and skilled at living off the land.
Smooth-Talker (Deception): Lucan has a wonderful way with words, and is usually able to work on people's weaknesses in a way that makes them see his side of things. Generally he's able to convince shopkeepers into giving him a bargain, trick hapless peasants into handing over valuables, and other similar things.
Met One Bandit, Met Them All: When it comes to the major cities and settlements, there's almost always one major bandit gang operating within its borders, and they usually use similar techniques to communicate, hide their stashes, and enact their plans. Working for a bandit gang for some years has given Lucan insight to these workings.
Lucky Strikes: While most of the gambling Lucan involves himself in is rigged by him to work out in his favour, he generally is an outstandingly lucky person, both in games and in life, Lucan generally finds himself coming out better than he went in.
Alertness: Keen to pick up on noises, people, scent, etc that are out of place
Language(Common): Speaks, reads and writes in the day to day common tongue of humans
Escape Artist: Work ones way out of tight spaces, binding spells, ropes, manacles and so forth
Streetwise: Lucan has a keen eye within cities and towns, he generally keeps an eye out for things of interest, people talking in alleys, posters on walls, etc.
First Aide: Tending to wounds, setting breaks, stitching skin and so forth
Balance: Ability to remain sure footed when in precarious situations and while in battle.
Hide: When holding still with minimal coverage or in shadows you will go unnoticed if someone tries to spot you
Martial Weapon Proficiency: All martial weapons such as bows, whip, flail, mace, swords, axes, etc


Magic

A listing of spells, their descriptions - casting times, elements needed to cast, expected damage, any draw packs to casting

N/A
Possessions


Possessions Generally On Person: Clothing, coin purse, money, etc
Basic Clothing: Fitted trousers, short sleeve tunic, Leather boots, thin coat - all light shades.

History

Parents: Tayli Cauldwell/Mother/Deceased, Aedan Cauldwell/Father/Unknown
Siblings: None
Childhood: Born to a slave mother, Lucan was immediately placed in his mother's work by the time he was old enough. Due to the poor conditions she passed away while he was young, and not knowing his father, Lucan remained as a slave, becoming a Pit fighter for his master at the age of fifteen.
Adulthood: Earned his freedom after successfully completing a number of pit fights, but continued to fight for a number of years until he was 21, at which point he left Baldur's gate to join a wandering Bandit gang. Served with the gang for a number of years to reach the position of second-in-command, eventually abandoned the gang as City Guardsman grew closer and closer to catching them, he is still wanted in most cities and settlements.
Special Moments: The Red Scarf Lucan wears was the only gift he ever received from his mother before her death, as such he holds it quite dear as his only real connection to his family. Lucan achieved relative fame with his career in Pit Fighting, to this day many individuals would be able to recognize him at least by the title 'Baldur's Mate', he often uses this fame to more nefarious purposes, such as stealing from people and conning them.
Current Events: Lucan is currently still on the run from a particularly tenacious group of bounty hunters. He has chosen to hide in towns on the outskirts of the war in the hope that their dangerous locations would make those seeking him think twice before going there. Since leaving the bandit gang he was apart of, Lucan has mostly tried to stop committing criminal acts, and tries to steal just to get by, however he has taken part in a few small caravan raids and muggings, primarily conning people out of their money though, rather than harming them.

@Pundii Looks good so far. There is one thing, which is my bad. I left out Alignment when I first made the character sheet and added it as an edit after you grabbed yours, could you add an alignment under Character Summary, right below race?

I see the relations are left out, need one sworn enemy, can be a bandit he's dealt with in the past, perhaps a lawman from another city he ticked off, anything really. You don't have to have a high ranking or others if you don't wish or can add as you meet people in Rp but the sworn enemy is a must.

Persephone


Character Summary

Name: Persephone (no family name)
Aliases: Seph
Age: 22
Race: Human
Alignment: Lawful Good
Place of Origin: Ravens Bluff
Gender: Female
Class: Monk

Stats

Strength: 12
Dexterity: 18
Constitution: 10
Intelligence: 14
Wisdom: 10
Charisma: 11

Physical Attributes

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 124 lbs.
Build: Light, toned
Eyes: Blue, almost violet
Hair: Black, shoulder length, wavy
Skin Tone: Fair, pale
Racial Abilities: N/A
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: No major scars, but frequent nicks and cuts. No tattoos or piercings.
Day To Day Attire: See above image for reference. A white hooded robe, mostly form fitting above the waist, with a flowing knee-length skirt over grey leggings. Lightly plated knee-high boots. Extra wrappings for padding on her hands and forearms.
Strengths: Excellent agility and balance. Skilled in melee combat. Proficient and budding healer.
Weaknesses: Poor endurance in prolonged fights. Lacks a tactical mind. Often reckless when fixated on something.

Psychological Attributes

Generous * Brave * Passionate * Reckless


Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Single

Personality: Seph is like a puzzle where the pieces have all been forced into place, and the image isn't quite right. She was excelling as a young monk, tempering her emotion and learning strong morals. Much of that still remains; she's generous and selfless, almost always willing to lend a hand even when there's no direct benefit for her. Though she's skilled in fighting, she has never killed anyone, and hopes to keep it that way. She's incredibly brave, and not opposed to taking on challenges much bigger than herself. She works well with others, so long as she approves of their goals. She's quite sociable, and able to make friends easily enough.

Recent events have caused elements of Seph's former self to start springing back up, though. Without proper guidance the last two years, she's grown to dislike isolation, and occasionally lets anger slip through. She's passionate about whatever she does, but this sometimes leads to stubbornness and recklessness. There was a great deal of anger and aggression worked into her before she changed her ways, and she was cast to the winds before it could truly be eradicated. She's now left to deal with her demons on her own.

Habits: She paces when agitated, and will absently twist something through her fingers when in thought, or idle (her hair, a stick, edges of her robe, etc)
Hobbies: Healing. She used it to replace her hobby of pickpocketing.
Fears: Her own aggression, the idea of whatever destroyed her monastery, and the undead.
Likes: Healing, conversation, physical activity, music, the countryside, animals.
Dislikes: Violence, isolation, waiting, cities, criminals, dishonesty.

Skills


Melee Combat: Seph has had thorough training in the use of her quarterstaff, and was a natural learner in its use. She is by no means a master or even an expert, but she is very proficient and talented, and can best many opponents without killing them.
Hand-to-Hand Combat: She also knows how to engage most kinds of opponents without any weapon at all. Not her preferred method of fighting, as her reach is somewhat lacking without the aid of the staff, but she's nimble enough to flow around most attacks, and close in tight for quick, debilitating strikes.
Healing Arts: Her magical abilities aside, Seph has a growing knowledge of more mundane means to heal as well, for when a spell isn't called for, or she's too drained magically. This includes cleaning and stitching wounds, and moderate knowledge of herbs to combat sickness or even poison.
Underworld Knowledge: Seph comes from a thoroughly criminal background, and while she was never a high ranking member of any organization, she knows more or less how criminals think and operate.

Still a work in progress, just wanted to get some thoughts down. Borrowed some stuff from Sister Agnes from Cinder for the healing stuff. Don't know too much about monks so I'm sort of making stuff up, but hopefully that's alright.
