[OOC] The Death Knight's Squire [D&D 5e One Shot]

[Mistress Dizzy]

Well, it's not mobile friendly, that's for sure. The site is very old. Which worked to my advantage as my login was tied to an aol email I can't access anymore.

[Vertigo]

All done, here ya go.

Name ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Wager Age ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ 38 Gender ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ He/him Sexual Orientation ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Bisexual Languages ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ - Common - Infernal - Abyssal Specialties ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Wager specializes in subterfuge (deception, persuasion), assessing others (insight) and to a lesser extent, knowing bits and pieces of arcane lore (Arcana). But really, he'd say his real specialty is his dashing smile.

Warlock - Chaotic Neutral - Tiefling ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Wager is the type to look suspicious even when just breathing, and that seems to suit him just fine. He isn't one to worry needlessly - or even when needed, really - and takes most things in a stride. In his almost forty years of life lived to the fullest, he's heard every insult, faced every setback and survived impossible odds so many times he's earned his moniker. To this day, he lives for thrills and is disconcertingly willing to risk it all for a moment of adrenaline, fame or pleasure. He's hedonistic and changes his mind more often than his clothes - which says a lot, considering he owns more hats than one can count. But though he comes with a long list of vices, Wager isn't a bad person per se. He's sociable and pleasant enough a person to talk to as long as you don't try to engage in any serious topic that'd bore him. And though he is self-serving and irresponsible, he never sets out with the plan to cause others mischief or harm. On the contrary, he is willing to help whomever as long as there's something in it for him. Sometimes a thanks will do; other times he'll do it for the experience alone. If you've got a face he fancies, he'll help and treat you to a drink afterwards. Now isn't he a gentleman? Background ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Name any profession of ill-repute, and Wager's likely at least dabbled in it. From a decoy to a thief and a smuggler, he spent his younger years trying to get by through whatever means necessary. The older he got and the more connections he made, the wider his job opportunities - and the longer his list of enemies. Eventually, he grew tired of a life lived constantly on the edge, and made an earnest attempt at turning over a new leaf. For a couple of years in his mid twenties, he ran an honest business and managed to get on his feet as a respectable member of society. But old habits died hard, and he soon found himself missing the thrills of his previous life. His risk-seeking behaviour led him down a rabbit hole of gambling, and he soon found that he could make a better fortune playing cards and throwing dice than he ever could in his mundane day job. Especially if he, well, took some liberties with the rules. He found success, enemies, danger and glamour, making a name for himself in one of the land's largest cities - until a certain incident a year or so ago. A peculiar, drunken man out of coin decided to bet a small, ugly statuette of a misshapen man in lieu of cash, and Wager happened to win it. He had half a mind to throw the abomination away, but ended up finding out it was more than met the eye. Apparently, it was the prison of a Genie - an Efreeti, to be precise, and it had absolutely not been meant to be gambled away on a drunken whim. It didn't take long for it to dawn on Wager that he'd gotten involved with some dangerous lot, and so he took his belongings and skipped town before anyone could come chasing after him. Since then, partnership with a Genie has given Wager some new-found powers - and another surge of risk-seeking behaviour.

@Vertigo Just a heads up, your picture isn't working (at least for me)

[Mistress Dizzy]

https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2717849

Link test!

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Benzaiten Sorry 'bout that. I had... a very long day yesterday, so I basically got home, fed the cats, fed myself, and fell asleep. I'll get that backstory written up for you today, I just had next to no time yesterday.

Also, people, remember, you can put your character sheets in hiders. Keeps things tidy, you know? 😅

[Vertigo]

@Vertigo Just a heads up, your picture isn't working (at least for me)

@rocketrobie2

Interesting, I wonder if Postimage pictures don't show up for people in certain countries (USA?) or something, cause the link works on all my devices and my local friends have never had an issue either - but this isn't the first time it happened internationally. Changed it to Imgur, should hopefully fix it!

[Vertigo]

So I just realized we should have rolled for our hp at level 2 - I took average out of habit. Can roll and edit that in instead.

Edit: Aaand the roll is a 5 anyway, so no change there! :D

Edit #2: Actually, wait, just realized we might be using custom rules for HP? Since normally you get your constitution modifier added every level, but according to the first post we only get it once for a level 2 character. Is that on purpose?

[Mistress Dizzy]

@Vertigo We are max hp for the 1st level and doing the con thing for everything else I guess?

[Benzaiten]

@Vertigo You get the con mod as normal! I wrote it confusingly. So it's max HP + con + roll HP + con.

[Vertigo]

@Vertigo You get the con mod as normal! I wrote it confusingly. So it's max HP + con + roll HP + con.

@Benzaiten

Alright, gotcha!

@Vertigo

Maybe! I’m from Canada and I haven’t heard that site used before so maybe it is some international goof with the site.

@Benzaiten Still kinda WIP, but hey, I've done my best.

Keannan

Name ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Keannan Ivaenodel Age ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ 137 Gender ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Male, he/him Sexual Orientation ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Bisexual Languages ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ - Common - Elvish - Druidic - Primordial - Sylvan Specialties ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ - Animal Handling (Skill proficiency, Speech of the Woods) - Healing (Medicine & Spells) - Navigation & Tracking (Survival, Outlander) - Perception (Skill proficiency) - Shapeshifting (Wildshape) - Summoning if we get to level 5 (Conjure spells)

Druid - Chaotic Good - Wood Elf ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Keannan is a brusque, often short-tempered young man - well, young for an elf. He has little patience for posturing or pretending, and does not care to give his respect to someone he does not see as having earned it. As for how to earn it? Do not pretend to be someone you are not and do not expect things from others when you yourself give nothing. So... mostly he respects animals. Despite his attitude, Keannan possesses an inquisitive mind, a kind heart, and a genuine desire to better himself - and if he needs to humble himself to do that, he'll do it. He still has much to learn, after all, and his life has been longer than most. Background ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Some people have a picture of elves in their head. Proud. Noble. Regal, even. Practically perfect in every way. Never making mistakes. Everything they do is what they intended to. Most of the people who hold this ideal are elves. And anyone who doesn't meet this standard - well, they're troublemakers. Miscreants. They don't belong in polite society. That has been Keannan's experience, at least. Someone who didn’t fit the mould. Who didn’t care for 'perfection' or 'politeness'. Who rejected the idea of it. And took joy in disrupting the sensitive sensibilities of those who found discomfort in his very existence. But he was hardly ninety at the time, and eventually, being rejected by the very people you surround yourself with... eventually, you'll break and lash out. Which is exactly what Keannan did. As a more juvenile elf, he could not be punished as a full adult. Notes on the rest of this; - Keannan was sent to a druid circle to study under one of its masters - Typical resilient mentor story. No matter what Keannan did, the master did not give up on him, and taught Keannan not just about druidcraft, but about the natural world, the order of things, how to manage his anger - and how to deal with particularly annoying peers. - He also taught Keannan the value of life - what it means to have it, and what it means to take it, be it in a form of combat, or as a hunter searching for food. This is why Keannan carries a wolf fang on a leather cord around his neck - a memento of this exact lesson (and also, it came from the background items, 'a trophy from an animal you have killed', so). - Related note - Keannan still hunts and eats meat, that sort of thing. He respects life, and what it means to take it. So when he kills an animal, he does his best to be respectful, does not prolong its suffering, and tries to calm it, if he can. Which is sometimes an ordeal, given he can understand the thoughts and emotions of animals. Things I haven't pinned down: - What, exactly, Keannan did to get himself 'socially excommunicated' from his home. - Who his master is (though likely an elf?), and what has happened in the fifty or so years between then and now that Keannan is no longer at their side, under their tutelage. Starter Equipment ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ - Leather armour - Wooden shield - Scimitar - Sprig of mistletoe (Druidic Focus) - Staff - Hunting trap - Traveller's clothes - Wolf fang amulet - Explorer's pack - Coin pouch (10gp) .................................................................................................................................................

[Benzaiten]

@CollectorOfMyst@Vertigo Both accepted. I have not looked closely into the linked CS (mechanical bits). I extend the trust that it's all fine and according to rules :)

I am expecting to write the first IC post tomorrow. It is a bit too late today for me to still write it. Once the IC is up, we are on a schedule of posting once a week minimum.

[Benzaiten]

@Mistress Dizzy Have I accepted your sheet yet? In any case, it's accepted once you add a picture. As with the others, I have not taken a very close detailed look at the mechanical CS (the linked dnd sheet) and will extend the trust that all is up to standard.

[Benzaiten]

Putting a noparse here for easy copying. I assume that I've gotten everything right when I've made a few edits?

[Mistress Dizzy]

What's a noparse?

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Mistress Dizzy Something that stops all the code from compiling. The command is literally 'noparse', so if you look in the hider, it's all the code from the IC formatting template.

[Mistress Dizzy]

So wait, does that mean if I copy and paste the sheet elsewhere, it won't immediately break all the coding?

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Mistress Dizzy If you copy what I posted in the hider, yeah. You'll still have to make your own edits for character name/dialogue/etc, but otherwise, it should all format correctly.
