I never portend anything. But uh, I like these ideas.

I am currently in no position to critique pacing

@Excession

It's okay, me too.

At the urging of his captain Adrian began to relax somewhat, centering himself even more as they arrived at their destination and were ushered from the streets. Adrian let out a sigh of relief, momentarily dropping his guard before his wandering eyes caught sight of the spider over his head. Once more his paranoia set in as Adrian couldn't help but wonder if Orohome knew of Adrian's origins. That information could prove dangerous for Adrian in the wrong hands, or worse should the wrong people figure out his location. Adrian tried to be as nonchalant as possible as he moved to draw his hood lower over his face. Meanwhile he followed his captain's lead and strained to also listen to the voices beyond the doorway.

Cool, this is a tad old but I was never in any rush so if you guys are still interested I could throw together a thread or a discord or something I'm sure so we can do some actual brainstorming. Now I ain't too worried bout how much anyone writes precisely, just that we're all advanced enough to give each other enough to work with and move the story forward together. Been trying to get back into writing for fun and not having so much pressure, admittedly it's pressure from myself but not the point lmao.

No worries, life happens.
I think you have enough backstory to be posting with, and in the meantime, if you want to give me a nice concrete idea of ya boy's weaknesses, interests, and aptitudes I can put an example spread on a sheet for you. Doctorin' seems obvious but if you think he'd have a specialty or anything let me know.

@Excession

Okay so I was trying to go for a couple different angles, as far as combat interest go my goal was to have him be a proficient duelist. Great in a 1v1 especially against an unarmored or lightly armored opponent. 1v2 would be a struggle and anything beyond basically he better run. I did hope that he could expand on that skill as he goes along and get better at handling multiple assailants through parrying and such.

Social aspects my goal was that he'd be a doctor/alchemist, like making potions or drugs to boost the party's efficiency. On top of that I wanted him to be like the persuasive one of the group, great with reading people and sniffing out a lie as well as good at lying when necessary.

Todays wardrobe of choice was derived of paranoia, an aching sensation that had accompanied Adrian since he'd taken to the sea. A shabby hood hung low over his head, obscuring his face from those who didn't deliberately go out of their way to make it out. Even choosing to attempt to peek under the hood would only reveal a set of piercing eyes gazing out atop a face mask obscuring Adrian from the nose down. Lastly a drab brown cloak wrapped around his shoulders and obscured much of his figure as well as his hands. For all intents and purposes Adrian looked raggedy and uninteresting, a bland figure that the eye might pass over with nary a second thought. To the trained eye though, Adrian might very well appear exactly as he was, a man on the run.

Adrian cursed inwardly as he checked over his shoulder for the 3rd time in the last 5 minutes, gritting his teeth in frustration. Paranoia was unbecoming of him and yet he dueled with it anyways. His escape from the mainland had been far too close for his liking and he struggled with the idea that he might be safe out at sea. Regardless he'd found his way to Kontina and found a ship in need of a doctor. With any luck such a place would throw any pursuers off his trail.

Adrian pushed the paranoia to the back of his mind as Chwegwn spoke of betting at the arena. He'd no idea what Kontina's arena might hold but he certainly considered himself a duelist and would enjoy a few bouts at the arena, especially as a means to put his mind elsewhere.

Movement. A shadow down an alley off to Adrian's left. His breath caught in his throat as his hands reflexively sought to arm themselves. His heart quickened rapidly and his knuckles whitened as he gripped the hilt of his rapier tightly. A cat stared back at him from atop a pile of refuse, absently licking it's paws of whatever it's previous meal has been likely. Adrian slowly let himself unwind and tried to play it off as if nothing had happened. He'd have to do something about the overwhelming paranoia gnawing at the back of his skull.

Sorry, things have been a bit complicated lately and I got overwhelmed and kinda just wanted to hide. Bad move on my part, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be blowing you guys off though.

But yes I could probably use a hand on the last bits of my sheet, the mechanics definitely confused me after my last attempt.
