I can hit up my old party and see if they're still kicking. Want me to tell em to come straight here or message you first? Work out the details of their capture and such.

@Lucius Cypher

Well before you to reach to this possible player, first I would like to ask @rush99999 and @Guardian Angel Haruki, would you two be okay with a 4th party member eventually joining? If so then you can tell this other player to come message here so we can get to know them as they create their character and eventually join the party.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Expolar
I’d be okay with that. ^_^

[rush99999]

I'm cool with it.

[Lucius Cypher]

Coo. I'll hit em up and see if there's any biters.

[Ryonara]

Hello, Lucius PM'd me about this RP. Are you guys still looking for another player or any specific type of character?

[Expolar]

Hi Ryonara,

As our recent posts in this OOC would say, we are open to a 4th player character joining the party. For the current party members we have a Angus the ancestral barbarian, Najila the djinn warlock, and Orchid the eldritch knight fighter. But you can choose a same or different class of the already existing party members, its really up to what you feel and decide. And don't feel rushed as I would like to get a sense of the character that you decide on and discuss how they could fit into the world of Assembia. The first post should have enough general information of the setting and history of its major regions. If there are other questions that you have of the setting, I would be happy to discuss them here in the OOC or PM me if there is something about your character that you don't want to be reveal until ready to mention in the OOC or reveal in the story in the IC.

EDIT:
I also do recall you posting back when this was still an interest check, so you could use that character or another, just let us know. And if you think you will be too busy or away for some time, please just give us heads up when you can.

[rush99999]

If you felt like making a healer, I certainly wouldn't argue.

[Ryonara]

Thanks for having me. I'm still reading up on the lore and trying to think of where my character could come from, but my first concept would be a warforge gloomstalker ranger, with the Mariner fighting style if you'll allow it. Both are WoTC materials and UA respectively. But if you need healers, I can roll a dream druid/life cleric instead.

[rush99999]

Do as you please, friendo. There's always short resting.

[Lucius Cypher]

As far as party comps go, we go got a barbarian and fighter for frontline work and a warlock for range spell damage, but not much in the ways of healing or supportive spells. Orchid can make healing potions but she needs prep to do that, and unfortunately prep was not something Orchid had time to do atm.

[Ryonara]

I think I'll go with pure druid. Now, just to determine if I want to do Dream for healing, or Shepard for bigger support.

@Ryonara

A warforge I would most likely imagine being from the Veteris since they specialize in golem creation. The creation of warforges would make sense as during and after the battles between the Veteris Empire and Novus Alliance, the empire would not have as many soldiers that they would have from the once outer towns and cities militia. But in what they lack in numbers, they had more readied understanding and enough resource at the time to create more advance magitech and creations like golems. The warforges would just be another product to help increase their army power and size. Although they are not a complete replacement or seen as a majority, they are the occasional 1 or 2 seen with a squad of soldiers either on patrols, guard, scouts, etc. So perhaps a warforge as a gloomstalker ranger may have been on missions to scout the northern regions of the Verteris Empire.

I think I'll go with pure druid. Now, just to determine if I want to do Dream for healing, or Shepard for bigger support.

@Ryonara

For a druid, they could easily be placed in most of the major regions. and yes, having a healer/support for the party would be nice. My next question as you decide the subclass would simply be what do you have in mind for this druid's back story, why they may be adventuring, their likes and dislikes, and what goal(s) that the seek to achieve?

[Ryonara]

Instead of a warforged I think I'll do a lizardfolk instead. A lizardfolk Dream Druid.

He is one of the clan shamans, however unlike his fellow kin he has a curiosity to the world outside of his home and wants to share the stories of the outside world to his clan so that they may learn from others without being directly exposed to their conflicts. So he left his home to collect stories, basically becoming a bounty hunter of sorts for two reasons: first to just have a steady income and to witness stories in person. He actually doesn't care to read books.

Additionally while he still has a swimspeed and the ability to hold his breath for a long time, his clan of lizardfolks are actually desert dwelling instead of swamp or coastal. Though they do have control of a hidden oasis which again, is one of the reasons he choose to leave the village instead of suggesting that they open up to outsiders, knowing how important water is in a desert. He hopes to one day return to his clan, let them know what he's learned, and use that experience to elevate his people from just their small tribal life style.

Edit: Here's my character sheet.

She voiced her thoughts out loud, "Oh! I actually did it? Huh!"

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Her damage was exactly met the remaining health of the drake. It really surprised me how much damage it was, but then realized you had hex and the extra evocation damage. So nice job with that.

Also I won't make a post yet, but just a heads up, Celeste would motion herself towards Ironbane, quickly walking up to Ironbane and heal his very injured body.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Nice! XD
Thank you!

[Expolar]

@rush99999
Also I was curious and feel I must ask, how would Angus react and behave with a lizardfolk in the party?

@Expolar

I believe I mentioned before that Clan MacAlister is no friend to dragons or anything that resembles or associates with dragons. Considering the fact that lizardfolk both resemble and associate with dragons, Angus will not be pleased with welcoming them into the party, though he won't do anything beyond grumble about it if he's the only one opposed to the lizardfolk joining.

[Ryonara]

Could be something worth talking about IC, since it's actually Ulhar's personal pet peeve that people mistake him as a Dragonborn or has any real history with dragons. Neither he nor his people, the Deep Water Tribe, have any notable history with dragons and has more of a history in regards to their troubles and trials with humans and other foreign settlers. Namely, how Madam Merseger looked like a prophet leading her people to the promised land, but for the lizardfolk who lived in the desert she lead an army that forced them out from their ancestral homes and made many tribes shut themselves off from the outside world for their own protection.

Ulhar himself understands this ancestral hatred but doesn't care much for it himself. He sees it as old history and doesn't want to beholden to have grudges only his ancestors feel strongly for. For him, that was just messy business and a natural part of living in this sort of environment; predators compete with one another for the spoils of nature, and the Lizardfolk lost. That's why Ulhar now travels to learn more about the world outside so he can one day teach them how to start winning.

@Ryonara

Okay then, well I'm okay with Ulhar's backstory and character sheet. Just finish with the character sheet that is in the first post and then you can add him to the character tab. Then we can discuss on how Ulhar will be inserted into the story. But before then, I may have some more things related to Ulhar to discuss.
