What does race 'other' mean?

 

That means I'm being mysterious

*Cue sinister music*

I'll explain later, unless I really have to here

 

Name
Torben

Sex
Male

Age
31

Race
Hobbit

Class
Alchemist

Family
Torben's mother and father came to the village tavern one hot summer night long ago. His father was bloody and injured near death, raving about the night spirits that had attacked them, and his mother was in the process of giving birth to him. The midwife was called for and brought Torben forth, but his mother died soon after, and his father was overtaken with crazed grief, yelling that they would never take his son alive. In the process of trying to protect his family, he managed to burn down half of the tavern and inn, gettin himself burned to death in the process. The midwife managed to get Torben and his mother's body out of the room before it burned up. On her body, they found an exquisite gold and diamond necklace.

The tavern owner, a miserly sea elf named Nimmkelt, took the necklace into his keeping, and said that when Torben was old enough, he could work to repay the cost of rebuilding the inn and eventually get his mother's necklace back. The mid-wife, an old woman named Katja, raised Torben until he was nine, then Torben went to work for Nimmkelt.

Torben lived in the tavern's root cellar. He soon excavated himself a comfy hole to live in behind the potatoes. As he grew older, Nimmkelt had him help in brewing the tavern's ale. One season, the hops had a funky shimmering mold on them, because Torben hadn't kept them dry like he should have. Not wanting Nimmkelt to be angry, Torben used the hops anyway. The result was an ale that made it's drinkers very extravagant with their coin. Needless to say, Nimmkelt wanted Torben to continue brewing that kind of ale. Since then, Torben has been experimenting with different brews, mixes, and their various effects, under the tutelage of Katja, who though now quite old, hasn't forgotten all she knew about herbology.

When Torben's hole hit up against the stones of the tavern's well, he cut a hidden door into it. Diving down into the well, he found an underground stream that lead to a network of natural passages under the village.

Torben spends what time he has after all his chores at the tavern are done searching the caverns, the nearby forest and jungle, and the sea shore for interesting plant, animal, and mineral items to mix up and see what he can make with. He also likes to drink some special brews he has with his good friend Miost Berrain.

Appearance
Torben has long dirty blond hair. He usually wears a brown shirt and breeches, with a cloak bedecked with pockets and buckles and webbing to put stuff in.

Weapons
Torben carries a 3 foot long stout pole, with three different tools that can attach to it, depending on what he is collecting: a small trident for catching fish and frogs, a bill hook for cutting plants, and a pick axe for digging tunnels. He also has a net bola for catching flying things, and of course his sling and dagger for personal defense, though he tries to stay hidden from anything that might harm him. He usually has several different bottles of various brews on him, and is always trying to concoct something new.

Name:
Lena

Sex:
Female

Age:
16

Race:
Halfelf

Class:
Healer or Cleric, however it works best in RP

Family:
Lena says nothing of her family, except that her mother, whom she resembles greatly, is gone of this world. Lena is too quiet and does things with an efficiency not seen in someone so young.

Appearence:
Lena has long, reddish hair pulled back in either a tail or a single braid. Her pointed ears and big green eyes denote her elven heritage. She wears rough garments of s shirt, skirt and scuffed, low boots.

Weapons:
Lena carries no useable weapons. Always at her side is a pack slung crossways over a shoulder and is filled with bandages and herbs.

 

Great characters guys!! I'm hoping this new way of RPing for me will work out.

 

Name:
Rayenna

Sex:
Female

Race:
Human Traveller

Age:
16

Class:
Bard - Her spell casting is similar to the BG type bard but is in a sense inherent. Some Travelers are born with an Order. They have no choice. They are what they are. They do train and learn but if they never used their talent they would go insane. There are few of them and they are much valued by their clan.

Companion: Salana, a large silvery white owl.
Family:
Father: Jerban, clan smith Mother: Aryann, healer
3 brothers and 2 sisters.

Appearance:
5' 7" tall, slim but not skinny. Long pale blond hair almost white worn in a braid down to her waist. Sky blue eyes. She wears baggy blue trousers tucked into soft brown leather boots. Her tunic is white with intricate embroidary. Around her neck is a silver chain from which hangs the image of a silver owl.

Weapons: Short sword and short bow, quiver. Lyre in a leather case. Back pack.

Note: I have taken the idea of Travelers from Patricia Briggs.

Edit :name - add information

Hmm, I suppose I'd better post a character thing for ALandra too.


Name: Alandra Faeylin

Age: 28 (just older than Alandro)

Race: Human

Class: (Not thats its important) Swordswoman

Weapon: Nothing now, she can only appear to scare people.

Family: Alandro

Appearance: When she chooses to be visible, Alandra is a tall woman with long dark hair and green eyes. She wears chainmail armour sometimes, but can change her clothes at any time. Occasionally a longsword identical to Alandro's hangs at her hip.
Physically, she is certainly attractive, but she rarely appears long enpugh for anyone to get more than a glimpse of her.

Dragon? I gots me a birdie!

 

Name: Holongost Berrain ( cousin of Miost )

Age: 17

Race: Half-elf

Class: Hoplite in-training ( spearman)

Weapon: Short spear with a 2 foot sword blade.

Family: Deceased and Miost and his family

Appearance: Long brown hair always messy and in his eyes, dark brown eyes, 5'11" lanky ,a broken nose, long legs. A quite intelligent warrior but still green and hot headed. Very competitive and can't stand losing.

Creature: A small humanoid thing the size of a two yearold human with a bulls head. It's name is Beratli.

Info: from another village quite far off that was destroyed, Holon( nick name ) was sent by his father to seek help and doesn't know what befell his people. Unsure were to go next, he headed for his only surviving relatives, Miost. 2 weeks days away from the village he came upon a screaming woman who thrust a bundle into his arms and ran off. In side was a two year old baby with a bulls head. Condemming it to death he was about to cast it away but he felt such an iresistable to keep the monster. Naming it Beratli he straped to his back and made for the village.

Edit: Holon changed his last name like all orphans under 18 do at his old village he is now Holongost the Bull

I didn't intend Bracdorn to be a playable character but he seems to be developing into one.

Bracdorn is the clan leader. He doesn't have any other title. His father, deceased, was a Traveller, his mother, living, a non-Traveller. His philosophy comes from both parents. He doesn't feel obligated to fulfil something that some weird wizards caused 100's of years ago but he does feel very strongly that evil must be fought. He is in his early 30's, a warrior and a charismatic leader. He expects obedience but is fair and cares very much for the members of his clan.
Ruggedly good looking(married and the father of 2 sons and 1 daughter). 5'11"-6' in height. Normally he dresses in brown pants, boots and an embroider tunic but I think now he would be lightly armoured, long sword and dual wields a short sword. Can and does use ranged weapons..longbow. Guess he should have a light accent but not too noticeable. He does come from a different continent but has spent most of his life on this continent but is new to this area.

He is used to being obeyed especially by the younger folk. They jump when he says jump! Speak to him with due a leader of even a small group but know your own worth. (I just can't think of the right word)
All Travellers are trained to fight but actual warriors would be about 12. I know, not many. But I figure the older men would not be front line fighters. The women would be concerned with protecting the children. 14 & 15 yr olds would not be sent out. If the camp is attacked everyone old enough & big enough to wield a weapon would fight. Bracdorn would welcome a few seasoned warriors.

Another thing I thought of: Bracdorn would have talked to the leaders of the village including "The Blade" I gather he is in charge of the fighters. The attitude of the leaders is that they will be prepared for trouble but don't really expect any. Right now, they are just confused about all these strange animals showing up but don't really expect trouble. Patrols have been sent out I gather.

I also intend Bracdorn to offer good serviceable armour to any who need it. Nothing fancy or magical but after all Rayenna's father is a smith and naturally, he is a very good one. Any one wanting the armour would have to be willing to fight "the Evil" and just trotting off somewhere would be severely frowned upon.

Please see fit to interact with Bracdorn.

Now I would rather not add another character so anyone wanting to interact with Rayenna's mother or father just go talk to them.

Any questions ask on OCC or PM me.

 

Hello all,
I don't know if i'm allowed to join in but i will just post my character and wait for a reply from the gm if it's ok. This is my first rp so don't be too harsh if my character is somhow strange or "overpowered".

Name: Riavin "Roo" Shadowhand

Age: 19

Race: Halfling (or better half-halfling, half-elf)

Class: Thief (2), Ranger (1), Sorcerer (1)

Allingment: Chaotic Good

Creature: Black Squirrel called Mephis


History:
Roo was born in a great city, far away from Laelit and the Jungle. His mother was a halfling who sold her body to keep alive in the cruel city. One day an Elvish nobleman took her services and Roo was born 9 months later. His mother was killed by some unknown person when he was 6 years old, and had to live on his own from then.

He grew up and became a quite good thief. But one day he ran into a sorcerer who had better magic than his skills could handle. The sorcerer felt some great ability within him and made him his apprentice. But Roo couldn't get away from his old style of living and still broke into houses at night to gain some money. One day he was carless and didn't notice he forgot to disarm a trap on a chest and lost his left ring-finger.

Now he hadn't the ability anymore to cast complicated spells and his master had to dismiss him from his studys. But the old mage had compassion with the halfling and sent him to a friend, an elven ranger, to train him in his arts of fighting and natur knowledge.

Now Roo desperately searches for a way to get a new finger, to continue his career as a great magican. He is at the moment training his skills as a ranger but as usual, he can't keep away from using his thief-skills.

Roo learned the same weapon style like his Ranger-master, who used a scimitar and a short-sword. Roo had to buy a special crafted short-scimitar and uses a dagger instead of a short-sword, due to his smaller size. He is also skilled in using a short-bow.


Gear:
He wears a pitch-black masterwork studded-leather armor, a specialy crafted Short-Scimitar and a dagger. He also has a short-bow, a quiver with 20 arrows, some masterwork thief-tools and several bags on his belt.

Some Information on the Travellers

Travellers are human beings who have been charged with fighting evil especially those they call the Shadowed. A few of them are Ordered. At birth or conception they receive innate gifts.

There are six Orders. The Raven=mage; the Falcon=Ranger plus the ability to spot traps/disarm traps and open locks; The Lark=healer; the Owl=bard plus the ability to know if someone is telling the truth as they know it; the Cormorant =weather witch and can control the wind/lighting; the Eagle is the Guardian of the Travellers.

Only a Raven has the power to 'see' the Orders. The Orders actually don't manifest themselves until about 10 yrs old. Otherwise the undisciplined children bearing Orders would be a danger to the clan and other innocent people.

All the Travellers and those who join with them, have a touch of something different about them. It makes them fiercely dedicated to fighting evil.

On their home continent they were persecuted by the very people they were charged to protect. Many were killed by these people as well as the Shadowed they fought. In fact around half the clans have been wiped out.

Men and women are equal and both are trained to fight. If not wearing some sort of armour they dress in embroidered tunics and pants which can be any color but not garish.

They do not worship any gods and there are no clerics.

There is only one Car'ygal to each Chosen!

 

Why don't you make two of them pseudo-dragons or something? It just seems like you might be a bit over-powered. Like dragons that only get to the size of a Rotweiler or so? Dragons are very hard to come by! And just one Car'ygal remember? You get one egg.

What's a skayer? Do you mean Slayer? If so, explain.
