Common Worlds

Little Senech is the sower of discord in the Rass Clan. A nobleman turned pickpocket and sleight-of-hand trickster, He enjoys slipping loaded dice (of his making) into other people's games, intercepting messages and forging new ones, "misplacing" important items and documents minutes before they are needed and stirring up fights between his siblings. Fortunately he's a quick and agile boy capable of vanishing into empty shadows or crowds with ease - or dodging anyone's attempts to throttle him. He knows the locations of three trickster shrines in and around Pavis. Senech hasn't spoken since he was a baby. Senech relies on the patronage of his father for protection.
Senech gained the respect of the Cult of Zola Fel when he and his family delivered the Lesser Trident of the Cleansed One to their temple, and by successfully completing part of the Cleansing Leap Heroquest.
Senech entered a portal to the Green Age and joined the Giving Dance, giving away his Bag of Loot, gaining a gift of Fur and the hatred of all baboons everywhere.

I am Oshun Kahn-seeker of the Zebra Riders. You may have seen the dunes fall behind me on Skimmer. You may have see me spear hated demon crabs from the sand to clear trails for foreign caravans. I am a warrior blessed by ancestors to be Kahn someday. The fat Pavic merchant Lugo Tolkazzie saw this when my quick thinking saved his son from the burrowing snake. He rewarded me with the Lance of Fruitful Journeys. Spirits fortold this when I walked and talked with them in the Spirit World and they passed me the Bit of the Bow-Legged Kahn. I travel the Wastes to do great deeds and to someday be Kahn. Gagarthi fear me and my Bad Wind Spit.
The spirit chief of Joraz Kyrem proved that I am blessed of the spirits and put Nine young Zebra Riders in my care. I took the Shield of Night from the tomb of a vampire, Garjairazen the Servitor.

Tiny Boomer Redclay works at the Flintnail Complex as a Quicksilver Alchemist. Using his miniature laboratory to create potions from Quicksilver Grimoire #1A, he helps protect and explore the tunnels beneath the Old City. His nilmerg, Transporter X17, aids him.
Forty-nine years ago, he disrupted a Sable Rider attack on Croly's Gate, and contacted his Internal Immutability while stranded in the spirit world by Efanhab Greypoint, a Sable Shaman. Rescued by Croly, he remembers how to resist spirits through transformation.
Ginkizzie often assigns him dangerous duty for his suspected individualist leanings. On one of those duties, he rediscovered the Mostali Goblet of Fermentation.
Boomer passed through a portal into the Green Age, where he entered the Gifting Dance and gave away his smallness. As a result, he traded in his nilmerg for more suitable assistants. While on a cleaning mission with these followers, Boomer befriended Chozo and his clan by offering them protection. For killing a walktapus, Ginkizzie awarded Boomer fine Sra-metal armor, which Boomer's squad enchanted. Trailing an enemy, Boomer commanded Serviam, a pure fire essense to obey him. Boomer followed Efanhab's trail into a Hidden Field, where he earned gifts of a hardy zebra and a Spirit Banishing Hoof. On the 3 striped wives hero quest Boomer gained the thanks of the Pol Joni Clan.

A loyal spy for Pubshanap, Vessel of Light and King of Teshnos, Garusharp Banaru follows Vanesha Kan Sa and spoke to the King when no other advisor dared. Famous at court for skill with his Golden Bow of Perfect Size, he gained Kira Sun Kian, the Shining Knife of Judgment for Somash Edi Varo as an enemy. It did not help that Garusharp infiltrated the harem of Kira Sun Ki repeatedly and enjoyably. He ruled Garusharp must find a way to destroy the Thanatari of the Tunneled Hills. But Chaos must be destroyed even if it meant leaving a fine home with warm breezes and two swimming pools.

(I'm not certain this is the final for Garusharp.)

Things to add:
minor details like a year of Thanatari captivity
Encircling whatsis.

the idea here is to use this topic as a clearinghouse for discussion and editing of additions and potential changes to hero descriptions.

so, I'd like to see those of you with incomplete descriptions start to add to them.

Then cool thing about the additions after the 100 word start is that you don't have to watch your word count so much. Just be concise.

Mike

How about this instead for the latter part of the description:

This doesn't change anything. It just makes it read better.

Mike the edit sounded fine with me... an addition beyond the 100 words might be;
"Caught by the Thanatari, Garusharp suffered horrible torture and ritual, but what the thanitar wished to take from him he kept hidden. He endured the dark and was finally rescued, but it took the power of the White Bull to truely bring him into the light and help him heal."

"Caught by Thanatari, Garusharp suffered horrible ritual torture, but he kept the most secret thing they wanted to take from him. He endured the dark magic of Drugke the Monster Scholar and was finally rescued, but it took the power of his friend and patron White Bull to truly bring him into the light and help him heal."

I'm not sure what "torture and ritual" meant.

Torture and ritual meant the same as you said only more confussingly so. :shock:

"...Drugke the Monster Scholar..."??? Is that a friggen AWESOME title to have or what??? Khan-Seeker is just so yesterday....

more to come...

First off, don't forget that if you've added some NEW thing/skill/relationship to your sheet, you need to add it to your description. We've been slack about this.

Secondly, Kirk emailed me with

All I can say is "Don't ask me!"

The players should describe their heroes. A few things I know:

Rasa, Will--no beards
Oshun-- beard
Senech--full body beard.
No one is particularly tall, short, ugly or handsome. Except Senech, who is 80 lbs soaking wet and I think Will is moderately Strong.
Nobody has interesting armor of note that I can think of.
All the other heroes bear the mark of the Rass: Oshun and S'peth on the right hand, Rasa on the center of his bald forehead, and I don't know where Will's is. (Right hand=fighter, left hand = magician.)

Pavisites tend toward black hair and olive skin.

The Shield of Night is round and medium sized, perfectly smooth and black on its face. The Iron Barb spear is crude and ugly looking.

That image in the title of this page is the Mask Potonis. I suppose there might be a resemblance between the Mask and Rasa. that's up to Brad.

For an idea, here's their adoptive brother, Asher

And handsome, lamented Gil

What is the mark of the Rass?

As a Boomer Redclay and as Will I Am the character has always been a fighting magician. Neither right hand nor left hand seems appropriate. However, if the mark cannot be centered, either over the heart (or if it must be visible, upon his throat) then I suppose it should be on the left hand. After all, the character is and always has been a fightng MAGICIAN

I really don't recall, but at the time, Boomer/Will did choose.

I bet it's in your notes!

He endured the dark magic of Drugke the Monster Scholar and was finally rescued, but it took the power of his friend and patron White Bull to truly bring him into the light and help him heal.

Garusharp through sad insight gathered in the river of tears realized he could not even remember poor harem girl’s name he had seduced. In the spirit world Garusharp impressed Ice Fist, a great and terrible winter spirit, and and may call him up once. For the horrible wound given him by Kodat, Garusharp gained a deep hatred of the Thanatari spy.

For story color: Oshun has a neatly trimmed full beard (he is a bit formal and anal about things) . His leather vest has an opening to allow Ten-Lance the brave's symbol to be seen over his left kidney. He has large horse styled bite mark in his neck (his control stallion fetish). Senech indeed has a full body beard, but mange appears in some spots. His gigantic penis is covered in fur also, but no one (at least the few he hasn't flashed) can tell cause of the sorry sock-codsheath he covers it with (yes the sock speaks...unfortunately). Spank the monkey has double meaning for Senech.

and speaking of heroes...last session we chuckled about the rocks that Boomer and the mostali made to hide under on the 3 striped zebra wives quest. I found this excerpt from a word document that I sent my previous gm who was interested in our storyline. Oshun is heroquesting as Joraz, and Asher, the rass scholar is Churnin:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Joraz and his followers searched the quiet camp until they reached the outer ring which traditionally was where the beasts of capture were kept. Joraz was ready to search in another direction when he noticed Churnin staring at the edge of camp. "What are you studying scholar?", asked Joraz. Without ending his scan of the area Churnin replied "I do believe I observe rocks…Yes!! Astonishing! The rocks display mobility! Ah! I surmise they are Chaos rocks... Come, look there!". Joraz sprinted to Churnin's side and scanned the edge of the camp. Joraz did notice some rocks on the edge, but they were not moving. After looking for a few seconds Joraz replied to Churnin , "wise sage, I believe the events of the day and the loss of your mount have strained your eyes." "No Zebra warrior, I reiterate my affirmative that they displayed movement!" said Churnin. "I am sure you could find ample reason to study this, but the sacred herd must be found and we are at constant threat of notice" retorted Joraz. Churnin did sigh the sigh of research undone, and turned to follow Joraz.

Greetings,
While this is not important in the scheme of things, I just want to be sure that the moving rocks on the 3 striped wife's quest were their own moveable camp structure and not constructed by Boomer & Company.
The camouflage rocks were made during the Sable Waha Quest in order for Boomer & Company to infiltrate the camp (before the big fight against Chaos).

Hey you quiet lurkers (excluding Brian) describe your character...I want to draw! :evil: If you do not describe them then it will be up to me to design them and you do not want that! Just think of a screaming meat rag baby-doll.

Greetings,
While I do not have an image in my mind of how Will actually looks, I consider that it is an undifferentiated being. My understanding is that it is some type of Proto-Person. It is either male & female or neither. It is a life form that existed in the Green Age (before death and time) who unites the aspects of human, elf, dwarf, troll and possibly others which became separate (diferentiated).
It is normal size, with long hair and dark skin. The character wears robes and has a 6 foot black snake (The Mark of Pavis).
