[OOC] Estermere - A Medieval Fantasy Roleplay

[The Fated Fallen]

The one you posted 30 minutes ago, if that's of any import

[Shard]

Oooh, yeah. I think the previous ones were hidden up to remove them from the IC since they weren't IC posts

Huh... read through the equipment section of that pdf...a bag of ball bearings sounds like a lot of fun...

Technical, but thank your lucky stars that this ain't tabletop. It gets VERY technical there. Anyway, we're just using this for average prices.

Alright, you don't have to read through it but just ask me for help. I read that thing over and over again (because I wanted to), and probably have more joy in it.

That was me and someone else who was confused, other than that you are the only actual IC post

Oh hi GM! I probably should point out my CS on page 11. I can link it here if it'd be easier.

Elric

Name: Elric Barber
Race: Human
Race Description: Humans are humans.
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance: Elric is a rather lanky individual, with arms that are slightly longer than the average man's arms. He makes sure to keep his hands clean, but occasionally he has loose hair stuck underneath his fingernails. He has short cropped red hair, and a finely trimmed beard and mustache. His nose is slightly crooked to the left. His skin is fairly tanned from him being outside generally, and to greet fellow residents, and travelers and to get people to come to his shop for a haircut and a shave, alongside dentistry and surgery, as a true Barber-surgeon should know and offer.

Clothing/Armor: Armor wise he has a tanned leather chest-piece, and leather boots. However he typically wears a loose red tunic, woolen pants and simple sewn shoes.

Weapons: Elric only has two things (besides arms and legs) that could count as a weapon. He has his straight razor, made of a rather durable metal for better shaving and trimming. And he has his fishing pole, with a freshly applied line and hook. Well then there's the saw for medical amputations but that stays in the shop.

Skills/Abilities: Elric can in fact, read and write. He is a marvelously skilled barber who can elegantly give a fine shave and trim of the hair with his scissors and straight razor, and he has gotten good at pulling out teeth, and other surgical tasks required of a Barber-surgeon. He is also good at running away from things (usually his older brothers). He is also a fine angler, having come in fourth place in a local fishing contest. He is also a decent cobbler, having learned the craft from his parents. He practices his cobbling whenever his shoe gets worn or he has the parts to make a new one.

Magic: He wishes upon stars occasionally. But that doesn't really count.

Inventory: 2 gold
Scissors
Straight Razor and strop
A small container of shaving cream, and a lathering brush
A half used bottle of cologne
A wool rag
Sewing equipment
Fishing pole
Pliers

Backstory: Elric doesn't have a particularly interesting backstory. He was born to Estermere Cobblers, and was the sixth born out of fifteen children, and was one of those fifteen who grew up into adulthood. (Not dying from sickness or other means) He studied the art of cobbling from his father, ran away from his older brothers who liked to playfully smack him about, and fishing at a nearby river with his folks. He picked up the ability to read while messed around in town, when father didn't need him to help make the shoes.

The most interesting event of his life was when a salesman/barber from Farethas came to town. He was a barber who was selling an elixir (made of piss and ink) which he touted as a cure to balding. Needless to say, it was a fascinating day, and he wanted to become a barber like the man, after watching him shave a mans face with style. So he saved up his share of money so he could afford his own straight razor and a pair of scissors. Which he was able to get, he then practiced his craft on his relatives, occasionally cutting them, but getting a smoother shave and cut every time. He also practiced his first tooth pulling on his father who had lower canine tooth chipped when he slipped and fell onto a rock.

Eventually as he grew older, he made a deal with a local locksmith, Johnathan Abbey, to rent out his unused antic, so he could have a place to do business at. Johnathan would become a good friend of Elric, even going so far as to tell him that he was a member of the Red Locks. But back to Elric, he became a respected man of the community. Which was nice and he did enjoy his job of giving people good haircuts and shaves, alongside the other barber crafts such as amputations, bloodletting and dentistry.
However he longs for something more...

EDIT: And it'd be remiss to forget to mention the changes to the traveling exorcist have been done by his player.

Also finished editing my character sheet to include Hart's little crew!

For the most part they're going to sit in the safehouse and be interaction material for Hart when he goes home

[Professor_Wyvern]

Hm actually that sounds like a good idea. I should probably do that for Elric's relatives. And good John, damn fine locksmith.

[Professor_Wyvern]

Convenient for certain individuals clearly.

[Daird]

Edited my post. It isn't much, but I did give some justification for the sailing and survivalist abilities.

Yeah. James is a little pale; I don't want to get a sunburn. Besides, it's more fashionable this way.

[Professor_Wyvern]

You could also use a shave and hair trimming

[Shard]

What about the squirrel? Gonna shave him? XD

[Professor_Wyvern]

Tooth extraction actually

[Shard]

No! Need em' to eat me nuts!!

[Professor_Wyvern]

It's a chipped tooth and it'll mess with your gums, and lead to infection! I must remove it.
