Interesting how we somehow ended up with three alchemist/potion makers. Didn't think others would also possess such skills, will need to think of some way to make mine unique still. Unfortunate every Tom, Dick, and Harry can brew up a motion of healing, but I'm far too invested in my idea now to change it.

Assuming, of course, Roman does not smack me with a ban hammer.

Mine is not really an alchemist. It's just that one, highly specialized stuff and its for his personal use only. The goal behind the design of my character was to pick up the berserker theme, but alter it so create a magic-berserker.

Again this is assuming that it can be approved :)

@Fetzen Nah, your character's cool bro, I hope he's accepted. I think him and Drath have a lot in common but have a very different set of skills. I meant other characters previously introduced. I see both of them getting along.

I probably should have said nothing though, people can make whatever they want, but I did feel the need to point out that specific overlapping skill since it's the main focus for my character. She's not too different from the Plague Doctor from Dankest Dungeon now that I think about it. Probably occupies the same position waaaay in the back. The rear guards rear guard.

Edit: Assuming we both get in, I'd in fact like to talk about possible interactions your organization has had with Ravensworth. If the GM is ok with a little world building in that regard. Time will tell.

@GreivousKhan I was actually wondering if that's where you took inspiration from lmao, I obviously took a lot of inspiration from Thief but I got a very Darkest Dungeon "For Science"-y vibe from Drath. Been playing a lot of DD tho so maybe it was just stuck in my head

@Drag I come from a D&D background so there was some unintended or intended building blocks from there, to be honest, my main inspiration was partly from the Hunter of Hunters in Bloodborn, mixed with the assassin doctor from Assassin Creed multiplayer, and later on, I decided to take pointers from the personality of the plague doctors a bit. In terms of trying things out and endlessly testing new tonics, potions, etc.

She draws from a lot of sources, but I hope to really bring her into her own, specifically when it comes to her motivations. It might surprise some folks- assuming she's accepted once again. :P

Still, can't help thinking about how I want to develop her as a character.On the topic of D&D though, I did think about the rogue's sneak attack being something Drath could do to a degree representing her knowledge of anatomy. She'll still be terrible in any fight though, and I realize unlike DD AOE from her potions limits what she might actually be able to do in that regards. :P

She's mostly meant as a support character anyway, also I did look in psychology aspect and found out the earliest equivalent were called alienist. It's a bit to close to modern era for my taste though since it did not really become a thing until the 19th century.

@GreivousKhan I really hope through some series of events we get to hear Drath utter "a hoonter should hoont beasts"

But yeah I can kinda see the AC inspiration there more than anything else, lost way to many hours to Brotherhood's multiplayer not to. Even though I might have went a little too heavy on the Thief influence as Roman pointed out I kinda take a few influences from Jetstream Sam from MGR as well for Claude, kinda see him as being annoyingly arrogant yet also fairly lighthearted (when not on a job) just to kind of set him apart even further from the more noble characters, to put it another way were he a Darkest Dungeon character "Gallows humor" would most likely be one of his skills lmao.

Drath and Claude would be a good team for combat tho since individually they both aren't exactly great at it, she hands him a syringe with nasty things and he slips on in and places it wherever she tells him to, then they get back in their van and solve mystery's together :p.

I haven't played dnd in a long time though, really need to find some folk to get back into it

Hm. Since everyone else is discussing it: I drew inspiration for Roderick from Geralt, Guts, Dalinar from Stormlight, and I'm seeing some Kratos there since I started playing God of War.

Hmmm. I can't truly tell from what kind of source I took inspiration for Týfurkh. I am convinced there must be some that I've encountered, but I can't tell at the moment. Strange :)

Oh, and... Drath and Claude could make him feel very uncomfortable. He has a massive tendency to self-inflicted damage, so I could imagine a scene where they are talking about how to patch him up this time again.

I'm really sorry! I didn't realize what everyone else was doing. Depending on what I get Pmed, I will change it.

Jartod's potion making is more general in stature per say, he's better on the poison and damage dealing side then making mere ointments and healing potions (Though he can make a minor one, compared to the other potion makers it probs wouldn't be as effective or get to the root of the problem)

Again, I'm awaiting on my PM however if I have to take it out its fine.

I don't think all the characters have to have completely different skills. We're not focusing on combat or boss battles like we would in a traditional game like D&D; we're telling a story. Characters having similiar skills can be a good thing and give them a common thread to bond over and converse about. Also, the characters may not all wind up in the same traveling group.

Got a day off tomorrow [ i.e technically later today ] and got a schedule to get my character out of the concept stage. Luckily it's piling together nicely. Till then.

@Mistress DizzyNah, I'd feel bad if you feel the need to change cause of me. I mean potion/alchemy making is quite extensive in the kind of regents or categories one can expertise in. I imagine Kassandra probably leans toward potions with spell-like effects that Drath can't replicate being she is only capable of natural alchemy.

Has anybody received the PM so far ? I'm getting a little nervous that something unexpected could be seriously wrong with my character, even though I know that exercising myself in patience not always is my forte and that this could be a very good alternative explanation.

@Fetzen probably finals and irl stuff like work dude, I wouldn't worry too much, college has personally had me in a veritable armbar since it started so I imagine with school and stuff coming to a close it's kinda tenfold for anyone going through it rn

@Fetzen I have, currently working on my character with Roman. Expect more than a few changes when all is said and done.

The dude is a busy man after all so I imagine it's only a matter of time don't worry too much about it.

YOUR TIME SHALL COME! >=d

Yeah like said, it's purely my own fault. It's a work-free day over here in Germany and I ran out of greater rift keys in Diablo AND the weather has dramtically deteriorated, so I'm idling around enough to allow all my follys to seep into the active centre of my mind :)

@Fetzen

I'm working on Lowe's bio as we speak! it's changed a little, but most of it is the same.

Good. Got my email from the GM yesterday so I'll be working on that.
