Because the player is new to the system and the campaign setting, we haven't worked out all of the details to her background yet. However, Eowyn is around here somewhere and might add in some details. Sophia's family came to the city of Elweir 18 years ago from Abyzinia when the Witch-Queen came to power. Either through the family's influence, wealth, or some other means, they managed to convince the necromancer Sommal Lisiria to take Sophia into his tutelage. At the time of the game's start, Sophia's mentor has finished teaching her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoywin Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: [Character] Sophia of Abyzinia Woohoo, it's my character sheet!! I've been trying to think into detail about poor Sophia here, but I'm a bit uneasy because I'm so unfamilar with the system. I do know that she is a bit reckless, does things without thinking things through all the way, and she is a bit naive about things outside of the city.

AliceTheOwl Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: [Character] Sophia of Abyzinia Definitely a good start . . . There's a questionnaire for new characters around here somewhere. I won't overwhelm you by throwing that at you, but I will give you a few sample questions: Family? Friends? Upbringing? etc. Yeah, it's okay to make people up. In fact, it's encouraged. Josh can help you fit all this into the setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh can help you fit all this into the setting. I'll have to think about it... I do know that she doesn't have any friends, probably not much in the way of family. Probably that's why she'll be willing to hook up with the other party members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: [Character] Sophia of Abyzinia Oh, right - the most important question of them all: Why is your character interested in adventuring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoywin Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: [Character] Sophia of Abyzinia Oh' date=' right - the most important question of them all: Why is your character interested in adventuring?[/quote'] I'll have to come up with an answer when I'm less tired... I'll have to write her a backstory tommorrow at work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Squirrel Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: [Character] Sophia of Abyzinia Based on the character sheet, my questions for your character are: How did you get your scars? Why/How do you have a pact with this particular Knower of Secrets? Your parents left Abzyinia 18 years ago, how old is your character now and do you remember anything from Abzyinia? Less important are: How did you come to learn the Bow? How did you get so good at bribery? Typically character sheets have five sections on them. You aren't required to write these but you are welcome to if you want at some point in time. These sections are: Background/History - Ye Old Character Background Personality/Motivation - Self Explainatory Quote - A Quote from the Character Powers/Tactics - What powers do the character possess and how do they use them? Appearance - What does your character look like? There is another section called "Campaign Use" but that is mostly for NPC characters.

Super Squirrel Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: [Character] Sophia of Abyzinia I made a more legible version of the character sheet for my webpage.

Super Squirrel Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: [Character] Sophia of Abyzinia I noticed a mistake with the character sheet. Two actually. The PSL for Time Modifier to offset summoning is 1 1/2 points per +1 not 2 as I was calculating it originally. The PSL for improved Animate Corpse was an illegal power design. I resolved it by changing the PSL for Time Modifier vs all Necromancy and putting the lost points from the Animate Corpse into it. Overall the character improved because of it.

Trencher Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: [Character] Sophia of Abyzinia For crying out loud! Great character for a necromancer. Allthough a little bare boned. Go for summoning skeletons instead of zombies they are dead hard and easier to hide. Also remember to use your skeletons vs sword wielders while the rest of the group takes care of the enemies who use clubs and other blunt weapons.

Thanks.... she's a bit bare boned because I don't know the system at all. I plan on having her carry around one skeleton in a bag. I took the spell so I could raise either so if they are fighting in a battle, she could possibly raise someone who just got killed. I'm not sure what I'll do with the extra point... probably not on Com, since I don't feel the need to have a super hot character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trencher Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: [Character] Sophia of Abyzinia Since she is scarred it would be suitable to use the point on one extra point of pd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: [Character] Sophia of Abyzinia Uh-oh. I've ticked off Trencher again . . . Anyway, the character looks nice (if that word can apply to a necromancer . . . ), and fully playable . . . Please tell us how the first gaming session goes!
