Characters

Here's a place to post your characters. From their names to their shoesizes.

This is also a place we could discuss stat work, such as what skills fit with your concept and backgrounds (if you attend, submitting a background to the Lions plot team allows them to mess you about with things from your past and such).

I'll start.

I'm currently working on my next character; Thorg Bloodrot IX. The IX doesn't mean he's the 9th, just he was born on the 9th day of his birth month.

I'm basing him on a D&D/Pathfinder character, who was a half-orc druid. My original idea had him as an orc channeler (healer), but I've settled on the idea of him being more shamanic, and thereby settled on Incantation.

The base concept is that he is an exiled orc, who has come to venerate the Ancestor Cernunnos, believing that the blood of hunted prey allows people to enter the bloodline of Cernunnos, and that the hunt is a most noble and powerful tradition. He is the kind who, while not a warrior, isn't afraid of combat, and would be a skirmishing type, usually offering limited healing on the field, whilst also being able to use a variety of other useful abilities.

All characters have 16 points to spend on skills, so my idea so far is:

4 points on Body Development 1 (grants +1 hit per location)
4 points on Incant 1 (allows casting of 1st level incantations, alongside 4 spell cards per day)
4 points on Power 2 (grants an extra 4 spell cards per day)

Still got at least 4 points there, so need to do some thinking.
Most likely is:
2 points on Ritual Magic 1 (can perform rites and use a transport circle)
1 point on Contribute to Ritualist (can contribute 1 point of power to 1 ritual per day)
1 point on something else, possibly Sense Magic, as yet undecided.

Right, Thorg's story is still in the works, but the build is cemented.

8 points Incant 2 (access to 1st and 2nd level Incantations, 12 spell cards a day)
4 points Body Dev 1 (+1 hit per location)
2 points Ritual 1 (ability to use Rite spell effects, such as Transport)
1 point Contribute to Ritual (provide 1 point of power to 1 Ritual/day)
1 point Sense Magic (detect magic in items)

For Occupational Skills, I intend to buy:

+4 spell cards, 10 OS points
Immune to Fear, 10 OS points
Herb Lore, 10 OS points
