@Roman Do you wish me to make the rest of the sheet then submit it, or am I better waiting for PM response?
If your sheet is finished, submit it here so Hillan can see it as well.

@Mao Mao Hillan and I discussed your sheet and both agreed that while the final concept - Sychan Tribal forcibly conscripted into the Wardens - is a great angle, we find the backstory a bit messy. To me personally, with the added context of the PMs, it feels like you approached me with a core concept, and then layered on top every suggestion I made in order to sort it for the game, and then you could play the original character regardless.
For instance, you came to me asking about hybrids, whereupon I suggested animal reverence, and then you've had your character and their tribe mistaken for hybrids in-universe anyway. Your backstory also feels contradictory at times; born as an orphan into the Wardens but brought up with knowledge of the tribe's culture anyway - the Elders (Khemrin elders?) being discovered but not punished - the original tribe approaching the Wardens for assimilation, but being first-generation Wardens?
We both agree that the core pillars of the character are great. Sychan Tribal, separate from Eerum? Great. Ex-Warden, blacklisted and exiled? Great. Rediscovered cultural heritage of animal worship, bringing a forgotten rival to the dominant religion of the Barbed Church? Great. All of these thrown into a cooking pot together without really straightening them out together, making the biography feel like your initial ideas with my PM suggestions layered haphazardly on top? Not so great.
There's a final-product-Gil here that's an excellent tribal making his way back into the world to save what remains of his lost culture, but it needs a bit of sanding and polish to make him really shine and clarify who he is and what he's striving for. Some streamlining would go a long way.

@Zyshi Theron is accepted! Feel free to move her back to the Characters tab. Welcome!
Wow guys. My PM inbox has never been busier and it’s great to see so many character applications up so rapidly. I’ll start working through and discussing all the characters submitted with Hillan this weekend, but until then here are a few discussion points and questions to pose to the players:
Which of the regions do you each find most interesting and enthralling, and which mysteries are you eager to unravel first?
Does anyone have any early theories about the source of the Blight?
When we begin the game, would you rather your characters were drawn to Vasilius and then sent out to begin their quest as a group? Or would you prefer a more individualistic approach, where each character pursued their own goals separately or in smaller partnerships?

@Zyshi please remove your application from the characters tab and submit it to the OOC for deliberation by the GMs. The Characters tab is for accepted sheets only. Thank you!
@Roman, could you give me a break down of the magick system? I'm thinking of making a practitioner this go round.
It would be easier if you gave me an idea of what you’re trying to achieve and we can see how well it would fit. But basically, cantrips and sleight of hand yes, potions/elixirs no, enchantments kind of yes, big grand spellweaving yes but highly discouraged and will probably cost more than you and the surrounding 50 square miles can afford.
@Roman if you need help with the Gming. I volunteer as tribute, I mean obviously if someone better than me Volunteers they are more important.
<Snipped quote by Sep>
Do I count as someone better than Sep volunteering? Because I could help too.
Thank you both for the interest. I’ve currently instated @Hillan as my GM Partner as we’ve worked together in the past and I know he can get done what I need from him. However if I need further consultation or the game ends up bigger than expected I will bear you both in mind if I end up looking for further help.
Ah, I remember this. Are you taking newcomers from the previous iteration?
Hello! Yes, everyone is welcome to apply.

Forum: General Interest Checks
I had hoped to get this up yesterday but unfortunately I took a long day at work so instead got it up today.
Bear in mind I am still trying to find a suitable GM Partner. I appreciate the interest in the position I have had thusfar but I'm still weighing my options and would prefer someone I know I can trust.

P R E M I S E:
Vassidia is a plagued land.
The people are not unfamiliar with sickness; under the Garland lineage, the kingdom has already suffered and survived the Wailing Death, the Red Plague, the Ursine Pox. The cities know how to quarantine, how to detect, how to treat and experiment with cures. Vassidia is not unfamiliar with sickness; but this is not a mere sickness.
The citizens see it every day; cracked statues, eery in their accuracy of form, mottled ruby chunks bursting from cracks that run across their entire surface. They depict agony, despair, rage and resignation. In the first weeks, before word spread and knowledge grew, the rubies were stolen, chiselled, even thought to be lucky. Now, with wisdom of terrible truth, they are avoided, demolished, known to be cursed. The statues are no depiction; they are the last living moments of those victim to the Stone Blight, captured forever in petrified rock.
Across the continent, beggars and barons alike are developing blisters and boils that burst into encrusted maroon gemstones, fat and dewy rubies that begin to spread lethargy and dullness as quickly as they do a cracked, hard black skin rash that grows to encase the victim as the metamorphosis continues internally. Nearly every resource the kingdom possesses is now dedicated towards a cure for the accursed blight that has seized the kingdom.
The High Lord Jocun is running out of hope, and his subjects moreso. From his seat, he has called for adventurers, mercenaries, academics, peasants, nobility - anyone willing to travel the continent in search of answers. Many have departed; few have completed their journey. Fewer still have returned.
