@Randomness Approved! Welcome :D

Yes, that's what Casual Roleplay should look like. No skillfully fabricated images, and a small character sheet--only three fields, very nice. I've been through the first page and only found one actually Casual thread, the rest should be in Advanced.

Anyway. Rant aside, is there still a spot?

@Einherjar 906 Hey there! Yep, we do have a spot! Feel free to submit a character sheet if you'd like ^^

Also we have a Discord server if you'd like to join (optional, though most OOC chatter is currently taking place there): discord.gg/8dGyySVW

_{I have decided to be daring and put this character in a position of somewhat importance.}

@Einherjar 906 Ooh interesting! Yes I think that will work nicely~ Approved! Welcome ^^

@wierdw @JP @A5G @Mas Bagus @Soldat Elf @Randomness @Einherjar 906

And we're off! This first part will be a bit of a prelude before the real adventure begins. Feel free to get your characters settled in, interact with the Captain / locals / each other, explore the village, and do whatever you like on what's likely to be your characters' last evening in this world. When everyone is ready, we can do a time-skip to the next morning where the expedition will commence.

If you have any OOC questions, let us the GMs know, either here or on Discord!

Hello! I saw that the join status was still set to "Apply" and I was wondering if there was still maybe a spot open! I've got some ideas for a character and I can probably bang out a decent sheet tonight ^_^

@Rekkuza Hey there! Apologies about the delay, saw your message only now~ But yes, you're very welcome to join! Feel free to post your character sheet when you're ready and I'll have a look at it ^^. Also if you like you can join our Discord server (discord.gg/3aqTVThJ); it's not mandatory but it's where most of the OOC chat has been taking place~

@spiral origin Awesome! I'll be sure to join the Discord :). I haven't found a good picture for him yet, but here's my current character sheet, lemme know what you think!

Name:
Arthur Mercier

Appearance:
A tall, heavyset man in his mid-to-late 30s. His hair is normally brown, although the Sun has lightened it to a dark auburn, and he keeps it cut short, but lets his beard grow out. His skin his tanned from long days spent outside walking or working under the sun, and his hands are large and heavily calloused from years of hard, manual labour. Arthur bears a variety of scars across his body, though none are serious or even especially grisly. His eyes, which are brown, look somewhat small on his face, but they still glow with warmth and good humor. His nose is a bit crooked, probably from a past break. He prefers to wear sturdy, undyed travel clothing in his day-to-day, and only puts on his armor when he needs it (it's rather heavy, you see).

Bio:
Born to a farming family, Arthur quickly heard the call of adventure (and potential profit) and, at 16 years of age, set off on his own, taking up various mercenary work. Throughout the years, he has done almost every odd job you could think of, from construction work, guard duty, deer and wolf culling and monster hunting, to less... reputable work, like bounty hunting, debt collection, helping fix underground fights, participating in underground fights... the list goes on.

While Arthur is not an evil man, and would never stoop so low as to take on hits or participate in more serious criminal enterprises like smuggling or trafficking, his moral compass does still heavily revolve around his purse, and he does not mind skirting around or outright breaking the law if the job pays well enough.

Nevertheless, as the years went by, Arthur grew to yearn for a slower, kinder life. He had done his time on the road, and was ready to settle down, to finally meet Mr. or Ms. Right, maybe even start a family! Seeing the Duke's notice sealed the deal: one last job, enough to secure funds, and perhaps even land, and then he'll retire from this life, for good.

Skills:
Adaptability: A life on the road of doing odd jobs has left Arthur a pro at adapting and improvising on the spot.
Weapon handling: He is skilled with the sword, and has a good aim with the crossbow, although ranged weapons aren't his usual go-to.
Physical strength: Arthur is tall, large, and very, very strong.
Amiable: Arthur is a very friendly, jovial man, who tends to get along with most people. This is both his default way of being, and a great boon when looking for work.
Sewing: Arthur knows how to sew, and can patch up clothing, or even make simple shirts and pants if given enough time and material.

Equipment:
- Brigandine (a type of inexpensive armour, made of cloth or leather -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigandine)
- Camping equipment, containing a bedroll, a mess kit, a tinderbox and a few days of rations consisting of hard tack and salted pork, all neatly rolled together and carried on his back
- A rucksack
- A well sharpened hunting knife
- A buckler (small shield used for close-quarter combat)
- An arming sword (typical double-edged sword)
- A relatively well-stocked money pouch

Trivia:
- While far from being an intellectual, he has acquired a wide range of odd knowledge from the various jobs and he had and people he met over the years.
- Coming from a peasant family, he's never had a formal education, and can't read or write very well, or do complex math.
- He has 3 younger siblings, 2 sister and a brother, and 1 older brother. He hasn't seen them since he left home, almost 20 years ago.
- He has a weirdly good sense of direction since childhood, and he is almost always able to find the north, even when not outside.

@Rekkuza Your character looks great! Approved, welcome aboard :)

Feel free to jump into IC posting as you like~ I'd recommend catching up with what's happened so far, but a summary would be something like: the adventurers have been asking the Captain a variety of questions, getting acquainted with each other and the locale, and figuring out staying arrangements for the night.

Thinking your character could have either quietly stood through the briefing, or been a bit late to the party. Either way, the real expedition wouldn't be starting until dawn of the next day in game. Whichever way you'd like to introduce him should be fine~

If you have any questions, let us know, either here or on Discord ^^

@KITCHEN GUN Approved, welcome ^^
