Treasure Hunters - A Warhammer Fantasy Adventure

@Bright_Ops Good, but just add a few flaws, what does he really hate? What breaks his calm façade? What does he not do right? Or what does he do too right? Of all his features, which will get him killed? You don't have to answer all those questions, but do that, I'll be willing to accept it, just so long as you remember that you're playing a fresh faced 16 year old boy. I wouldn't expect him to run from bandits, but you'll be facing far more than bandits. A lot of Fortunes development across his adventures should probably be overcoming his fear, which should be interesting! (A description of the De Vigny crest would be good to!)

Also, I'd like to remind people that it's all well and good having a horse and plate armour when you're traipsing across the prairie, but when we go to Lustria, there will be swamps, and heat, and really dense woodland. Horses and armour will end up more of a hindrance than a help.

@Maxwell My friend, we will be travelling across the known world!

Dwarf Runesmith or Master Engineer gut?

@Andreyich

A master engineer would be fine, though I am wary of allowing a runesmith, if only because it would be difficult to find a reason. (And yeah, they can be OP)If you wanted to be a dwarf, a slayer engineer, maybe?

Also, is the intro paragraph's first lines a play on "Ulster is the Land of no surrender" or have I gone mad.

@Andreyich

It was not intentionally, but, after listening to it, I can see why it might seem like that. You may, or may not be mad.

Also, where does everyone want to go for their first adventure? I can give you the choice of Lustria or Cathay. Neither will give more reward than the other, it's just two different adventures. More locations will come, but I've yet to prepare the story for them.

Sorry, I was rushing slightly.

@POOHEAD189@Andreyich@Maxwell@DrunkasaurusRex@Keksalot The OOC is up! roleplayerguild.com/topics/155351-trea..

Treasure Hunters - A Warhammer Fantasy Adventure

From the vibrant cities of Cathay, to the dark jungles of Lustria, from the bright land of Ulathan, to the desolate wastes of the Badlands, there is so much in this universe beyond the old world, beyond the empire and it's petty struggles. Great treasures are hidden far beyond the borders of civilised man, waiting to be taken. I will not lie, the path will be treacherous, and in the lands beyond the border, your strength will not be as much value as your wit, your weapons as your map. Status as the richest nobles the world has ever know await you...all I ask is a small cut. Travel expenses, the like.

So the fantasy OOC is up! Yay! If you have just arrived, than this is an RP where you, as heroes (okay, maybe not heroes, maybe just, really good miscreants) of the old world, journey beyond it's borders in search of fantastical treasures for a mysterious sponsor. The CS is posted down below, and I hope you have a good time!

Character Sheet:

Name:(obvious)

Age:(Remember to keep it realistic to the race.)

Race: (All good races + one dark elf, if it's really good)

Profession:(Remember, you're treasure hunters, not mercenary's. Almost any profession is allowed, within reason)

Equipment:(Don't state everything, just the things which may be specific or are required for a characters skills, e.g. thieves lock pick.)

Personality:(Only one or two paragraphs needed, but feel free to ramble)

Appearance:(Include a picture if you like, but at least one paragraph one appearance. If you really want to say what your character wears, say it here.)

Bio: (As long as you want, but preferably at least two paragraphs)

Reason for joining: (This is a pretty shady guy bossing you around, and it is very dangerous. Why the hell would you do this?)

Terrible secret: (PM me this! This will be used in the RP, just to add some spice. Make it something your character would kill to keep!)

Treasure Hunters - A Warhammer Fantasy Adventure

Perfect! We needed at least one trickster/priest/guy who doesn't just solve every problem by hitting it! I can now have the OCC up by tomorrow! (I only need a small group)

OK, so my red shirt is:

Name: Thintos

Age: 19

Personality: Over enthusiastic, naïve despite what he's seen in Troy. No-one knows how he manages to smile

Relationship with Ambrus: Originally, hero worship, Thintos was among the first in Ambrus's Trojan brigade, and Ambrus dismissed him as just another devote. However, he has since saved Ambrus's life on multiple occasions, and has proved more loyal than any of Ambrus's soldiers. Ambrus would even be hesitant about selling him out and, if it came to it, he's worried that he would foolishly give his own life for Thintos.

Reaction if() dead: Though he doesn't admit it, and may not realise it himself, Thintos has become a true friend to Ambrus. If() he dies, Ambrus will likely be crushed, but also confused, as he has never had to deal with these kind of emotions before.

Is that enough, or does he need more detail?

Ambrus of the Owl and Dove

Name: Ambrus
Epithets: Of the Owl and Dove, the laughing giant
Age: 26
Appearance: Not Greek at all, red hair and pale skin, cause many to denounce him as a barbarian from foreign lands.(That's before he's bought them a drink and told them a hilarious story involving himself, a maid, and a porcupine). Though he cuts his hair short(ish) in the Greek fashion, dresses in a brilliant white tunic, (literally, it's always white, no-one knows how he does it.) though his arms are adorned with golden rings, won from the many battles he's fought in (apparently), and a single, winding tattoo up left arm (his sword arm, he's left handed) further indicating his barbarian origin. Of course, what most people notice is his height, he's about 6ft, which, in the day, was f****** HUGE! BY virtue of his height, he is also quite broad, but not beastly, more of a rugby flanker kind of build. His shield is adorned with a brass owl in the centre, while his helmet has a brass dove just above the nose guard.

Personality: A shameless flirt, a charismatic captain, the best laugh for miles around, if you'd want to fight for anyone, it's this guy. It takes him the length of a cup of wine and an amusing anecdote to get past those sensibility's regarding his barbarian appearance. They may not be true stories, and that wine may be a little stronger than expected, but hey, we're all having a good time! In battle, he's the same as at the table, laughing and joking from his vantage point over everyone's heads, it's really quite unnerving. However, he is also quite cocky, which really ticks some people off, and, most of all, insecure. He befriends people because he needs the validation they bring to his life, without them, he is nothing. Being kicked out of his original band of warriors really shook him up, almost to the point of going mad, but he recovered fast.

Bio: Not much is known of the strange man from the west, mostly only stories coming through. They say he travelled to mount Olympus to woo Aphrodite with his wit and charm, and succeeded in winning her favour by pledging for the Trojans. As her favour, she laid a golden dove on his helmet, so that wile he wore it, his judgment would never be clouded by wine or battle rage. He then went to see Athena, and won her affection through his battle skill and stories, and pledged to fight for the Greeks. As her favour, she laid a golden owl upon his shield, so that it would always find the next blow, no matter where it might fall. However, as he turned to leave, she saw the dove as he put on his helmet. She was not happy. She laid a curse on him that his skin would forever be as white as the snow on mount Olympus, and his hair as red as the fires of Hades. Or so the story goes. He arrived to fight for Troy, some say as a mercenary, others because it was Aphrodite who forgave him his betrayal. He fought and drank and made friends, and soon commanded many men through the sheer quality of his character, and the strength of his arm. Anyway, what wouldn't a man give, to fight beside a man who holds the hearts of two goddesses in his palm, their place in history assured.

On his real history, yes, he was a barbarian, a Briton warrior, he travelled the world, looking for money and loot and women. Born Aed, son of Aiden, son of Drust, he was arguably the smallest in his family, or his tribe, for that matter. instead of his sword, he used another way to get respect, his words. When he was a young boy, Aed would lead a pack of other boys, often, they did the fighting for him, though he was still a barbarian, so he got more than his faire share of violence. As he grew older, he learned that the more women you had, the more people seemed to respect him, and it wasn't long before he put the information to good use. Eventually, he outgrew his small hill fort, and made his name the only way a barbarian can, as a mercenary. He picked up the languages required on the road, and soon had a close circle of admirers. But luck turned against him. They were captured by a Hittite warship while they were raiding along the striates of Salamis (the Cypriot one). He, along with his comrades, were to be executed. He was offered a choice, his life, or the lives of all 50 of his men. He chose his. It would have been set to look like a daring escape, had not their support ship arrived and scared off the Hittite vessel. Cast out and abhorred for his betrayal, he changed his name to Ambrus, and set off to make a new life...in Troy.

Skills: He swing his sword like a barbarian, and can throw a javelin as well as the next man, he's a terror on the battlefield. Like any charismatic hero, he plays the lyre, mostly sad melodies about loss of a homeland. Despite most peoples expectations, he's actually quite an accomplished sailor, and would give any Carthaginian admiral a run for his money,(he learnt this skill from his many voyages across the Mediterranean as a mercenary, plotting the stars for something to do. Also, the ladies love a romantic story based in the sky)

Greatest Strength: His charisma, he will be remembered for his silver tongue and honeyed words.

Greatest Flaw: His overwhelming arrogance, of course. But most of all, if things ain't going well, he ain't sticking around. It's all good to laugh and joke when you're winning, but when your life is on the line, that's a different story. Faced with real, actual death, there's no heroic last stand for this guy, he is out of there, or curled up in the foetal position, he'll sell out anyone to save his own hide. He's not cowardly per say, but in battle, like life, it's all about number one.
