Anno Domini 1400 Character Creation thread

    Character creation for this RP will use a modified version of the creation system I used for Star Wars, with a little more depth, but hopefully not so much that it over complicates things.

    Character sheet:

    Name: Self-Explanatory
    Gender: Self-Explanatory
    Religion: Christian, Muslim, Baltic Pagan, Wiccan or Tengri
    Culture: ie: German, Polish, Russian etc.
    Homeland: i.e: Poland, Moscow, Denmark etc.
    Social Rank:

    [Social Rank is a new addition, that measures what your character's position is in medieval society. By default, your characters are considered to be members of the lower nobility, effectively of the knightly class, without any land. Note that these are just loose equivalents. Picking the bastard rank doesn't necessarily mean that your character has to be a bastard, just that you're of equal social standing as one.]

    [You can spend a skill point to go up in social rank, which will grant you one of the perks listed below, or gain points for character creation by starting as a lower class character. The social ranks available at the start are as follows]

    Landed Knight (-1 skill point for character creation, gain a positive perk)
    Landless Knight (Default, 0 extra skill points)
    Noble bastard (+1 skill points)
    Peasant (+2 skill points, take a negative perk, -500 Grosz (currency) at start of game)

    Positive perks:
    Rich farmlands: The lands that you own produce higher than average crop yields, making you wealthier than most of your class. You start the game with 5000 Grosz (currency).

    Noble retinue: You begin the game with three hardened soldiers sworn to your service.

    High Standing: Your ancestors managed to play the game of aristocratic marriage with immense skill. Though you are only a lesser noble, you have the blood of a great family running through your veins. You will be treated with more respect than others of your social class.

    Noble's Weapon: You possess a weapon of extremely high quality, that has been handed down from generation to generation, and is simply superior to other weapons of its type.

    Negative Perks:
    Bumpkin: Even for a peasant, your vocabulary is limited. You can only express yourself in coarse, uncivilized terms. Other peasants don't mind, but to the upper classes, you don't seem worthy of respect.
    Ugly: Maybe you were kicked in the face by a horse, or have plague scars. Either way, your visage is highly unpleasant, meaning that you'll have a hard time convincing people to get into bed with you.
    Diseased: You managed to survive the plague, but at a high cost. The disease left you sickly and weak, so you're not able to raise any of your combat skills.

    Biography/Personality:

    Physical appearance:

    Skills:
    Like before, you have 5 skill points by default, that can be increased or decreased by social rank. Spending two points on one skill increases it to mastery. For example, spending one point on swordsmanship makes you highly trained at sword fighting. Spending two points makes you a master swordsman that very few people could defeat one on one with the same weapon.

    To use magic, one must spend two points on skill called "magic user".

    Sex Skills:

    You have three seperate points to spend on sex skills. These represent where your character excels sexually. Examples of sex skills include, but are not limited to:
    - Big dick
    - Large breasts
    - Oral expert
    - Rough sex expert
    - Beautiful face

    Like regular skills, spending two points on a sex skill will upgrade it.


    Equipment:

    Equipment is fairly straightforward. The default character starts with 1000 Grosz (currency), unless they have the rich lands perk, or are a peasant. You get a standard quality primary weapon of a type of your choice (extremely high quality with the Noble's weapon perk), a n item of the player's choice, a week's supply of food, and armour (chain mail for knights, gambeson armour for bastards and peasants). Everyone but peasants start with a low quality horse.

    Magic:
    Spend two points to gain the magic user skill, and you can use magic. The magic user skill comes with one free spell. Other spells cost 1 skill point each, or half a point if the spell matches your religion's specialty (eg, if your character is Christian, a healing spell would be half price).

    Name: Rhaelicca
    Gender: Female
    Religion: Wiccan
    Culture: Celtic
    Homeland: Western Scotland
    Social Rank: Landless Knight

    Biography/Personality:

    Rhaelicca comes from one of the few remaining druidic enclaves in the wilds of Scotland. Although the term "druidic" is now lumped together under the umbrella term "Wiccan." She is still fiercely devoted to The Old Ways. Her father is the chief of one of the tribes and she's been trained in both swordplay and rune magic. Her skill with a blade is decent, but her aggressive and fierce style of combat makes her a far more dangerous combatant in one on one combat. After she came of age, her father sent her out of the village. He wasn't sure how long the Christian King of Scotland would handle the village over the long term.

    Despite her heritage, Rhaelicca has earned some minor recognition in both the courts of England and Scotland before she began her travels through the wider land.

    Physical appearance:

    Rhaelicca is short, about 5 foot 5 inches with pale skins and green tribal markings covering several parts of her body. Her casual attire is lightly clothed with much of her skin free with just leather cloth covering the most important bits. Her breasts are small. About a B-cup but appear even smaller due to being wrapped. This isn't a way to appear as a man though as her beautiful face and long, firey red hair gives that away easily. The rest of her body is athletic, but not overly muscly. Her combat style emphasizes speed and maneuverability over power.

    Skills:

    Dueling x2
    swordsmanship x1
    magic user x2

    Sex Skills:

    Beautiful Face x 2
    rough sex expert x1


    Equipment:
    Celtic-style Longblade
    Leather armour instead of chain mail(?)

    low quality horse
    week's supply of rations
    1000 Grosz (currency)

    Magic:
    Healing Rune x1 - Drawing the rune for health on an object (such as the ground) will stop bleeding and double the rate of wounds healing when resting on the rune itself, or wrapped around the wound(such as on a cloth). (free spell)

    Fire Rune x1 - By transcribing the rune for fire in the air. The symbol burns hot and bursts gout of flames in front of her. (.5 for a specialized spell)
    Closed Rune x1 - With the rune for "Closed" inscribed on a doorway or door. That door becomes difficult to enter and between two identical runes, a clear repelling barrier will appear. The barrier is somewhat weak and will be broken with enough force. The larger the barrier, the weaker it is. (.5 for a specialized spell)

    Character portrait (optional):
    [​IMG]

    I'm not sure if maybe Rune magic being the specialized magic of the Wiccan is a bit too broad. The drawback of the spells is the fact that you need to transcribe the rune and breaking the rune disrupts the spell, but I could see how it could potentially be considered powerful. I'll happily make changes if necessisary.

    Just to make sure: Does Seduction count as a Skill or as a Sex Skill? It seems to me like ti should be the former, as being able to seduce people and being able to satisfy them sexually are very different things.

    It's a regular skill. I concur with your thinking.

    What is seduction? Rhaelicca tends to just rush her quarry into bed.


    They usually don't complain;)

    Religion: Catholic
    Culture: Italian
    Homeland: Mantua, Northern Italy
    Social Rank: noble bastard (+1 skill)

    Biography/Personality:
    Left on the doorstep of a Benedictine monastery in northern Italy as an infant, Angelo grew into the life of a Catholic monk. He learned the word of God, white magic and other monastic pursuits. As he grew older, he became somewhat restless to see more of the world than just the monastery and the little patch of farmland around it. Recently, an opportunity presented itself, when a Papal Inquisitor called for volunteers to accompany him to Poland. Strange and possibly unholy occurances had been happening there...

    Physical appearance:
    Angelo was relatively tall and healthy young man, with striking blue eyes and tonsured blonde hair. His face could be considered boyishly handsome and his body was slender from his relatively undemanding life in the monastery, but he had some muscle definition from manual labour.

    Skills (5):
    ** magic user
    * herbalism/botany
    * long weapons (spear, staff, etc.)
    * menial tasks (sowing, cleaning, cooking, etc.)

    Sex Skills (3):
    * biggus dickus
    * handsome face
    * skilled fingers

    Equipment:
    * 900 Grosz
    * mace
    * staff
    * rosary
    * monk's robes
    * 1 week's provisions
    * low quality mare

    Magic (1):
    0 - Cure Wounds
    1/2 - Cure Poison
    1/2 - Smite Undead

    [Yes, this character is somewhat stolen from The Name of the Rose.]

    Any comments about the following characters?

    Name: Benacio Lindhoff-Ortella
    Gender: Male
    Sexual Orientation: Straight
    Religion: Christian
    Culture: German
    Homeland: Holy Roman Empire
    Social Rank: Noble Bastard (+1 skill point)

    Biography/Personality:
    When lord Linfhoff's first wife died he remarried for political reasons. His second wife gave birth to two children: First was Benacio, then an year later came Ophelia. Their half-siblings always treated them as real siblings, however that did not stop people outside the family from treating them as if they were lord Lindhoff's bastards instead of actual children. The fact that as the youngest children they are unlikely to inherit anything – at best they will get some money – further contributed to how strangers see them.

    Benacio is more physically fit than his sister. He is skilled with the sword and the bow, knows how to track animals and haggle with merchants, and is quite skilled at convincing women to share his bed.

    Physical appearance:
    A slim, good-looking young man, one head taller than his sister, with short raven hair and blue eyes.

Their half-siblings always treated them as real siblings, however that did not stop people outside the family from treating them as if they were lord Lindhoff's bastards instead of actual children. The fact that as the youngest children they are unlikely to inherit anything – at best they will get some money – further contributed to how strangers see them.

    Ophelia is a smart young lady with a talent for magic – which is what she has focused on. Like her brother she is quite skilled at convincing people – of any gender - to share her bed.

    Average height, shoulder-length raven hair, blue eyes, large D-cup breasts, curvy body

    An Elegant Silver Ring - receied as a gift from her brother Benacio. Enhances her magical abilities while worn.

    Magic:
    Ice Wall - a wall of ice that can protect her from attacks, though it shatters quickly after absorbing contact.
    Ice Arrow II - ice damage and can slow – or even freeze – target. Now able to create multiple arrows, loosing them at the same time or in sequence, to make dodging them a difficult proposition.


    I'm trying to decide which one to use.

    Name: Larisa Solomin
    Gender: Female
    Religion: Christian(Publicly) Wiccan
    Culture: Russian
    Homeland: Kolomna
    Social Rank: Noble bastard(+1 Skill)
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Biography/Personality:
    Primarily the tutor of the Solomin family, she is looked up to teach them about the world and the theory of magic. While on paper, she's a professor for an overly pretentious academy that's to ignore the fact she's not just their educator, and in fact their not acknowledged older sister. Her siblings love her and try to follow their more mature sisters lead....including into her darker pursuits.

    While Wiccanism is a largely misunderstood practice, it's one she's smart enough to keep quiet about while trying to go beyond the veil in private, occasionally taking along a promising student who she can trust, opening their eyes and mind up to a world far more vast than those who would call her a heretic could ever comprehend.
    Skills(6 Total-4 for magic):
    Knowledge(Arcane)
    Knowledge(Academics)
    Sex Skills:
    Tight
    Blowjobs
    Beautiful face
    Equipment:
    1000 Grosz
    Steel dagger
    Magic Enhancing Amulet
    gambeson armour
    Week's supply of food
    Low-quality horse
    Magic(4):
    Enthrall(Free)
    Curse Decay(Half point)
    Phantom Pain(Half point):
    Causes someone to take mental and by extension physical damage by convincing them the pain from the illusion spell targeting them is real. The shape and form that the attack can be in can vary and an extreme mental shock to their system can even cause their heart to give out.
    Invisibility(Illusion)(Learned): Can render herself seemingly invisible and blend with the environment by using illusions to tamper with people's perceptions.
    Illusory Object*(Half point)(Upgraded):
    Can now make objects of a moderate size with her illusion abilities and with better complexity. Wise characters or magically inclined ones are more likely to see past the object and realize it doesn't actually exist.
    Summon Shadow*(Half point)(Upgraded): Enables her shadow to take a life of it's own and act like a familiar/bodyguard for the spells duration or until it's felled in battle. The beast form is stronger and has a slight resistance to light. The duration it can be summoned for has also extended.

    Edited. This might not be the last edit, I have to do, but this is what I wanted to do in the first place with my character as a professor/arcane researcher type but couldn't find any visuals that really worked.

    Hey guys, sorry to everyone who's created or started creating their character, but a bunch of IRL stuff has come up for me, so I'm not sure how long I'll be able to GM. I'll start the game, but may have to abandon it if things get to busy.

    Name: Allune
    Gender: Female
    Religion: Baltic Pagan
    Culture: Lithuanian
    Homeland: Trakai, Lithuania
    Social Rank: Noble bastard (+1 skill points)

    Biography/Personality: Born as an illegitimate daughter of an unknown noble, Allune wouldn't believe it herself, if she didn't live in a house larger than a normal villager's. She was given a proper education as she was raised, but aside from that, she grew up just like any other villager. At a young age she was mesmerized with archery, she practiced whenever she had free time. She also learned she was sensitive to the presence of spirits, though she couldn't communicate with them properly. She could ask for their help by imbuing their power onto an object, which resulted in most objects to disintegrate after one use. Though some spirits were helpful, some were more mischievous and did what they wanted.

    By the time of her twenty-first birthday, Allune was already the most beautiful woman in her village. Along with being the most skillful archer around, with rumors of her elemental arrows being able to fell any beasts... and lesser known rumors of said arrows turning in the air to attack her instead.

    Physical appearance: Long blond hair that reaches her lower back, usually tied with a black ribbon to form a ponytail. Beautiful appearance, with piercing blue eyes, plump lips. Large breasts, with a curvy body. Above average height for a female, she's usually taller by an inch or two.

    Skills:
    Archery x2
    Magic x2
    Spirit sense x1 (Able to tell if there are any spirits nearby, and what they're feeling.)
    Sharp eyes x1 (Able to see further than a normal person, also makes her eyes more sensitive to bright lights.)

    Sex Skills:
    - Large breasts
    - Skillful fingers
    - Beautiful face

    Equipment:
    1620 Grosz
    Hunting Bow
    19 Hunting arrows
    20 Armor piercing arrows
    20 Arrows without arrowheads
    20 Blunt arrows
    12 Silver arrows
    Lacy red lingerie
    Large dildo
    Dagger
    Week's supply of food
    Tight fitting gambeson armor
    Low quality horse.

    Magic:
    Imbue elemental spirit: Calls upon a nearby elemental spirit, infusing them to an object. Giving said object the spirit's element. If used on an arrow, bolt, or other thrown weapon it allows the spirit to take a temporary physical form. Which attacks the user's target, sometimes the spirit attacks a target of its own. If the object imbued is of low quality, it would turn to ash after the spirit leaves. (first spell - free)
