Personality

Personality

Azra Flametongue, like his name suggests, is a man of quick wits and quicker words. He is a raconteur extraordinaire, who enhances his moderate inherent magical abilities with his prodigious gift of the gab, to make a successful (if not entirely reputable) living as a street performer. He can charm, persuade, defuse, insult, curse, lie, and seduce with the best of them. These later two traits are the ones which most often get him into trouble, Azra has a weakness for a pretty face, and desire to create mischief, especially the kind he can profit from. This has left many angry husbands and conned bar patrons fuming in his wake.

If Azra were to apply himself to his magic or to his diplomatic potential, he very well could make something of himself. The problem is that he is much happier living an idle life, performing tricks for beer money. He is the definition of happy-go-lucky. His easy going manner is not suppressed by the suspicions other might hold of him for being a devil spawned Tiefling. In fact Azra takes almost as a challenge, and will try even harder to charm or seduce those that display an active hostility of him.

Backstory

Backstory

Azra Flamtongue is a man with a mysterious past, and he likes to keep it that. He isn't an old man, by most reckonings he couldn't be more than thirty, and he's been in Neverwinter for around five years. Plenty of people have asked him where he came from, he gives them a different answer every time. So far he's been kidnapped by pirates, raised by a dragon, escaped from the Blood War, a former Masked Lord of Waterdeep, the bastard child of a Calimshan Sultan, and was once the lover of the Duchess of Daggerford. His accent however, says Baldur's Gate.

Since arriving in Neverwinter, he's plied his trade of fire juggling, swallowing, breathing and all other kinds of fantastical fire magic. He's a familiar sight in the market squares of the Protector's Enclave as well as the low port side taverns like the Beached Leviathan. It was there that after a failed con for bar money, that Azra met Gundren Rockseeker, who helped Azra out of dangerously sticky situation and and placed him in his debt.

A recent series of similar incidents has created a large contingent of aggrieved citizens, scandalised husbands, and unamused law enforcers seeking Azra. This has made is normal method of earning a rather dangerous proposition. Fortunately, his good friends the Rockseekers need someone to guard a caravan going to Phandalin. Azra owed them a favour anyway... and it couldn't hurt to spent a little time lying low outside of town.

Lost Mine Of Phandelver (5e D&D)

So what we have Fighter and Cleric so far, yes?

Hmm... I was considering barbarian, but it seems we have tanks covered. I might go sorcerer? Tiefling sorcerer?

Lost Mine Of Phandelver (5e D&D)

I could potentially be down for this, I've never actually played through Phandelver with my physical tabletop group, but I do know most of the plot because my partner has run it a couple of times. What sort of post frequency are you looking for?

Just Another Phi-pademic!

I mean, its certainly a Phi-pandemic now lol.

Welcome to the Guild

Avatar/Signature Poll

I always have avatars and signatures enabled, I don't find signatures distracting really. I always have an avatar on the go, just to give some more easily identifiable markings to fellow users so they can pick me out of the crowd. I used to have a bunch of custom matching avatar & signature sets (I should really go and find those lol) I used on the old site, but now I only use signatures to advertise my own roleplays.

REAL QUESTION THOUGH: Who be browsing the guild with Grayscale Avatars enabled? Clearly the best feature Mahz ever created.

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

I really like some of the converging themes coming up in each of their own backstories and thoughts, it will be really, really interesting, if/when they ever sit down and actually talk about their issues lol

Of Blood and Burden

Karlus Marsh

The use of magic was always draining up the user, this is a fact known my all scholars and mages. Every mage only had so much power they might draw upon at a given time. There are ways to enhance one's capacity, the potion known as Caster's Milk being one of the more common, but ultimately all mages are limited by their strength of their own innate magic.

The lesser effects of expending magic are no different from expending other forms of energy. It begins with a tiredness, a weariness in the limbs. It makes one's thoughts run slow, causes the eyelids to grow heavy and droop. When a mage expends too much of their innate magic, these effects worsen. Overextending one's capabilities leads to cold sweats, painful headaches, shortness of breath, muscle spasms, leading to loss of consciousness, and in some cases, even death.

But there is another side to the use of magic. It drains, but so do does it invigorate. With the use of great power, some mages say there is a feeling of elation, a euphoria that is indescribable to those who have not experienced it for themselves. Like the flush of endorphins the athlete knows, or the rush of adrenaline the fighter makes use of in battle. A high that comes before the low, before the potentially fatal costs. In that case, is it any wonder some mages have been known to destroy themselves in pursuit of ever greater magic?

Karlus was sat on a bench at the back of the treatment room, feeling the after effects of his own use of magic. He felt tired, but pleasantly so, satisfyingly tired even. The joy of letting his power flow through him and into Arlo was fading, but the end of the warm glow it left behind was still there just. He enjoyed the feeling while he could. It had been a long time since he had been able to use his magic so freely. It was nice, despite the circumstances.

His reverie, however, was short lived, as a figure emerged into the ward through the curtains that hung over the doorway. Karlus immediately snapped back to being alert and shrank back into himself. But it seemed to be alright, whoever he was Aemma was dealing with him. Karlus just made himself small at the back of room, surreptitiously watched the newcomer through his lowered eyes.

He was young, he couldn't be much older than Karlus himself. A little taller maybe, and more robust, though still lithe. He was dark where Karlus was fair though, both his hair and his tanned skin. The biggest difference between them was how he carried himself though, there was a sense of assuredness, of confidence, in the way that the young man moved. His accent was Viscellean, but well spoken, he was educated, perhaps even noble born. His name was Sacha it seemed, that sounded familiar for some reason.

Karlus watched as he approached Arlo, and he could not help but feel his lips curl up ever so slightly when Sacha exclaimed his incredulity at Karlus's magic. It quickly faded as Aemma directed the young man's attention to where he had been quietly sitting at the back of the room. He averted his gaze, but not before catching the look of surprise on Sacha's face. It did not surprise him, people had always underestimated him.

But what Aemma said next made him glance up again. Sacha intervened in the initiation. Sacha, that was the name the Knight Captain had used earlier, that's where I recognised it from. He studied him once again with his vibrant green eyes, half hidden behind white-blonde hair. When he answered, his voice was soft, and low.

"Don't apologise." There was a moment's hesitation before Karlus continued. "You don't have anything to be sorry for... you must have a kind heart. To help him, I mean."

He pointed at the still, bandaged form of Arlo, lying atop the table. As he did so, the sleeve of his shirt rode up his arm slightly, exposing the raw damaged skin at his wrist, from where he had been so recently bound and shackled.

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

All will be revealed in time...

But yeah Liveuta has always been a feature of Ozragad's past/backstory, even before I had a name for both the characters, even before I ever saw your interest check for this. So yeah, she's been something I've had in mind from the very beginning.

The stuff with Ozragad's parents is actually something I wasn't expecting. I knew I said his mother died young, but it was really only thinking about this last scene, the poisoning, that I decided to firm up on what exactly happened. So yeah, if it seems a little bit out of the blue, that's because I wasn't planning for it to come up lol.

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

Ah cool, i'll have to check it out.

Anyway, posted!
