Depending on what the posting timeframe expectations will look like, I have two ideas... will wait a bit and see how the gender ratio of character is before I decide on one. Thinking either an innkeeper or someone that works with the guild in deciphering ancient runes/text that get brought back. I could see both having a lot of potential for interacting with other characters.

Rallis the Hunter

Rallis

_{+ Hunter/Scout +
23 in Human Years|| Male || 6'1 Athletic Build || Half-Elf}

> In the Hamlet I live in a cabin on the outskirts of town. I prefer living close to the woods in order to keep watch.
> I spend most of my time hunting in the woods. Villagers in the Hamlet know my skill with a bow and are willing to pay decent money - by Hamlet standards - so they don't have to venture into the woods.
> I am known for having a mildly standoffish demeanor. Due to incidents in my past, I'm not the most trusting person so it leaves me guarded at times.
> My current goal is to survive. So long as I have a bow in my hands and the freedom of the world stretched out before me, I don't care much where I am or what I'm doing. My only roadbloack tends to be my never-ending search for money.
> My secret is I'm a Half-Elf. Because of my Fey ancestry, I have a certain amount of magic which I use to aid in my daily hunts in the forest. Forest dwellers are mistrusted though, so I try to keep my elf side a closely guarded secret. As such, I'm almost always seen wearing my hood in town to keep people from seeing my elvish ears, the most defining trait of mine.

C U R R E N T G O A L S & Q U E S T S

Goals and Quests

Rallis has been living in the Hamlet for a few years at this point, and the re-opening of the Adventurer's Guild has him intrigued. The idea of being a bounty hunter could open new possibilities for earning some extra money for food and other necessities.

I N V E N T O R Y

Inventory

[ Clothes ] Aside from regular villager's clothes, Rallis is almost never seen without the bright blue hooded cloak that covers his head. Why such a cloak doesn't give him away in the green forest is anybody's guess.
[ Sling ] A popular game and toy in the village. Powered by pebbles and rocks.
[ Waterskin ] For when you get thirsty.
[ Snacks ] it's simple food, but lounging in the sun always makes lunchtime special.

So... I think I fused Legolas and Spike Spiegal and this was the result. Lmk if he's approved!

[Enkryption]

@Mae

Race is ??? pending confirmation. The rest is done.

EDIT 1: I assumed the Inventory section was placeholder text, and would vary from character to character, so I did change that, since Nibby wouldn't carry those things around with her.

EDIT 2: Updated Race to Forest Arachne. Not particularly clever, but puns take time.

EDIT 3: Added all Skills.

> I spend most of my time... working in the sprawling gardens I've cultivated or cloistered in my secret laboratory...

> I am known for... little around the town, though some children believe me a witch, as their parents warn them. I cannot say, they are not wrong...

> My current goal is... to escape this humdrum Hamlet, and strike it rich in the city with my talents in medicine. It's not like I have any connections to keep me here, after all...

> My secret is... I'm not the Human as I appear to be, and my hermitage is all that keeps my secret such...

Skills & Rewards

[ Passive: Dangersense (Severely Wounded | Nearby) ] A passive ability owing to her Dryus father, allowing Nibby to sense the lifeforce of living beings around her for a short distance. Perhaps, if she were more intune with her true nature, this sense would extend further.

[ Passive: Dangersense (Concoction Mishap) ] An innate sense of chemical reactions under pressure instilled by her Arachne mother, gifting Nibby a near flawless record of concocting medicines once studied and practiced.

[ First Aid ] Nibby's bread and butter. A talent developed from her days as a bored child, mending bird wings and nursing fallen squirrel, to cure what ails sick children and soothing what aches grown adults, as the Witch of the Woods.

[ Passive: Identify (Reagents) ] Nibby has a natural talent for finding alchemical reagents in her little neck of the woods.

[ Passive: Identify (Medicine and Potions) ] Due to her many years of study, Nibby can pick apart and determine what most, if not all, current medicines and potions can do.

[ Passive: Identify (Treatment) ] Years of study, practice, and practical experience has giving Nibby more than a comperhensive knowledge of the condition of the physical form, and she can general devise a treatment for any injury.

[ Gardening (Herbs) ] Born with a green thumb, Nibby has a natural talent for growing herb - medicinal and recreational.

[ Gardening (Flowers) ] While her penchant is herbs, Nibby understands the value of flower growing as a means to make dye for paint, petals for perfume, and a very important alchemical resource: honey.

[ Research (Flora) ] Every ready to learn, Nibby is always on the look our for new plant life to study.

[ Research (Potions) ] The study that takes up a large portion of her days, and nights, as Nibby learns, refined, and perfect known medicines, one-by-one, on a quest to master them all.

Goals and Quests

[Master Medicine Creation] I have learned all I can from my books, but I know I yet learned it all. There's more out there for me.

[Make It From Rags to Riches ] I want out of humdrum existence. I'm more than this place can ever be. I'm sure of it, if I can find a place in the city, I'll make it big.

I N V E N T O R Y

Inventory

[ Clothes ] A rather standard, if not, almost out of place, pharmacist coat with a loose grey blouse, a matching pencil skirt, a pair of grey multipurpose garden gloves, and a pair of three-inch heels to complete the ensemble.
[ First-aid Kit ] A well-constructed, and well-kept, clasp-locked lunch pail from her Elementary School days, now stoked with anything she could need.
[ Gardening Tool Belt ] A well-worn leather belt with pouches and loops for all kinds of handheld gardening tools.
[ Pipe ] Recreation for those long, lonely nights. All sourced from her secret garden, of course.

@Enkryption I can sense that Nibby might find a Kindred spirit in Wormwood, being their both not close to the village. No that I think about it maybe Wormwood is squatting in your cottage and is often a bit of a pest trying to eat the tasty leafs in your garden.

@TheNoCoKid maybe Rall has come across Wormwood in the woods before and after realizing he is not a threat he come out every do often to check up on the dumb little lizard? Lol

I'm interested to see how all the characters interact, @Crimson Flame and even though Mary is literally Snow White mixed with Cinderella I wouldn't mind her being the baker that is apart of my secret on my sheet.

[Dark Cloud]

Now as for leaving the village, Wormwood wants to be accepted by hoomans and be apart of either a small clutch of people or a community so that could lead into adventure hobo Wormwood so...

YOU ALL GET LIKES FOR YOUR SHEETS WEEEEEE

@Dark Cloud

I could see, maybe, if he was in the immediate area behind the house, like, if he was squatting in her toolshed, he could definitely get away with that, if he was careful enough. And taking bits and pieces of her greens could be seen as wild animals being a pest, for certain.

But, Nibby is far too meticulous to not see anything amiss inside her cottage, and doesn't want her secret getting out, so she wouldn't allow anyone to stay over.

Her Druidic Transformation comes undone while she's asleep.

That actually would be something Mary would do tbh.

I just hope I get accepted.

Sheesh how many of us are just various stages of hobo? 🤣

@Dark Cloud

@Dark Cloud Honestly I could see Rallis and Wormwood having some fun interactions. Like, if Wormwood is good at finding things (I.e. arrow materials or tracking his targets), Rallis could “pay” him in food or other stuff to keep him going. It’d be less like a sidekick and more a paid partnership since Rallis could also supply Wormwood with stuff from the Hamlet or possibly give him an alternate residence in his cabin. 😜

Wormwood would appreciate knife-ear tradeytrades, but me like moss in woodbox. Tankubye *stuffs mouth with all the food*

But that sounds pretty cool I like it.

Also @Mae will there be a discord for the rp or nah?

Nibby is a self-imposed hermit. Far more respectable than hobo, lol

Alright folks! Looking to square up starting skills and starting magic so we can polish them up together. If you don't think your starting skills reflect your character (including a little of hobbies, since you will start with some understanding of anything that your character would do regularly)

@scrawls accepted! I love the 'hunting down stories to trap in books' which is so evocative. Does this mean Boro has a special skill / type of magic that extracts stories in a very literal way? Going through the Character Sheets and starting to think about the spells/skills appropriate to start the game with (reflective of a key feature or playstyle) so let me know what you were imagining for Boro!

@Enkryption yes, there can be half breeds and also rare monster types, so I'm happy with that! Also I'm a sucker for Arachne I've made a god-race in my dnd homebrew world of mystical spider ladies. Is Dyrus a type of Dryad? Wrote more below after reading your sheet! V

@Crimson Flame Accepted! Add 'Singing' 'Housekeeping' 'Cooking' "Passive: Identify - Cooking' and 'Cooking - Baking' under skills to your sheet. If your character is Snow White like, would you like to pick one of the following (if it suits your character) and let me know if there's any other key features you'd like her to have:
Animal Friendship or Animal Taming
Shopkeeping (if Mary has a shop, might just attend the market or sell directly to people door to door/by commission)
Haggling
Passive Charming - Etiquette and Grace
Passive Charming - High Society

@vietmykeAccepted! Can you replace your skills with the following:
Heat Resistance I
Passive: Dangersense - Urban
Passive: Identify - Metals and Ore
Passive: Identify - Tools
Passive: Identify - Weapons [if Rowan has made weapons before]
Passive: Identify - Armor [if Rowan has made Armor before]
Crafting - Basic Tools
Crafting - Metalwork Tools
Crafting - Weaponsmith (if Rowan has made weapons in the past)
Crafting - Armorsmith (if Rowan has made armour in the past)
Crafting - Repair
Haggling
Shopkeeping
Fishing

@TheNoCoKid Accepted! You can replace the sling in your inventory with a bow and the snacks with trail rations. Since his stealth skills is affected by both his ancestry and his experience I think it'd be an upgraded skill. Haven't fully nailed down what I'm calling these yet so just going to write upgraded for now. Please add the following to your skills if you think it suits your character and let me know if there is anything you'd like to add:
*Upgraded Skill - Unexpected! Stealth* (ancestry)*
Passive: Dangersense - Woodlands
Passive: Identify - Game
Scouting
Hunting - Tracking Creatures
Hunting - Tracking Monsters
Hunting - Bow
Hunting - Trapping [include if you think your character uses traps to hunt]
Crafting - Basic Traps [include if you think Rallis uses traps to hunt))
Haggling

@Enkryption Accepted! Would you like to start with any magic, particularly given her ancestry? Your instinct was right on for items - Inventory is customisable, the water/food was more incase someone went exploring beyond the Hamlet early on without provisions or making time for hunting. Really happy to see multiple goals too :D

Here's some skills that might suit Nibby, feel like it's missing some of her key concept though so let me know! There's definitely some gaps in her skills, and need to add some of her ancestry magical abilitiesz but it's a starting point:
Passive: Dangersense - Nearby wounded (severe)
Passive: Dangersense - Concoction Mishap
First Aid
Passive: Identify - Reagents
Passive: Identify - Medicine and Potions
Passive: Identify - Treatment
Gardening - Herbs
Gardening - Flowers
Research - Flora
Research - Potions

@Dark Cloud working on your skills and magic too! How koboldey would you like to go, e.g have dark vision? Any physical attributes you want to transfer into skills

[vietmyke]

I'd like to get some fire magic for my character eventually too- think of like a forge cleric from dnd, so he might go bugging someone at some point!

[Timemaster]

@Mae You remember me ❤️

Character in the works now. Hopefully it's fine I'll have an intelligent Slime Person. Basically a blob 😅 if not, let me know.

[Dark Cloud]

@Mae He isn't particularly smart so he isn't as inclined to the arts of mining as other kobolds are. I'm thinking he is a rare lil goober, green kobolds maybe have a strong belly so they eat pretty much anything plants and everythin. And yessiree physical attributes and mental attributes skills would be great. Stuff that reflects his Charisma, Dexterity and Wisdom. He is good at finding things and albeit at a rather rudimentary level know what plants are noy good for him to eat.
