Tabitha Fairchilde
Spy and infiltration specialist
Lineage, Background, Planned-Subclass Class
Description Due to the nature of her work, she tries to keep two different facets of her personality. While "on the job" she has a very charming and seductive personality and is always super pleasant and really interested in what you have to say. When she's not "on the job" she's as aloof and distant as can be to people who are strangers to her. Her conversation and talk are short and straight to the point and she would rather not have the inconvenience of company, except for rare occurrences or people (such as party members). Also, thanks to her profession, while her hair and eyes are somewhat striking features, Tabitha has the uncanny and fortunate ability to seem as unremarkable as possible. Her clothing is rather in descript and plain and she often wears a hood to cover her pointy ears and, when unable, would often wear her hair over them to cover them up.
Your Character’s Plot hook |
Past is Prologue
What’s your character’s backstory? Who are their family? Their friends? Their enemies? Why did they start adventuring? How did they reach level one? Please keep it to absolutely no more than the equivalent of two A4-sized sized sheets with 1-inch margins (25.4 mm), double-spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman. I think I might have caused any college graduates to just suffer an aneurysm or triggered a PTSD episode with those criteria, but if you can’t pare it down to that . . . then it had better be really engaging reading.
By NO means does it need to be two pages long! A couple of paragraphs is okay, too. The point is, write what gets across what you need to get across, but don’t write too much.
Truths, Rumours, and Lies
One true rumor that another accepted character will be allowed to have heard about your character. One false rumor that a second accepted character will be allowed to have heard about your character. One rumor that could be true or could be false (it’s up to you) that a third accepted character has heard about your character, and can choose to believe or disbelieve as they like.
Include at least two of the following in your application:
Loyalties. You are either being courted by or are a recent initiate of a faction, an organization on the continent of Ansalon for numerous purposes. See below for faction information. Why did you join the Faction? Who acted as your mentor?
Is Might Right? What is your character’s personal philosophy on power and authority? From where does this derive? How is it wielded best and worst? Is might right, and if not, what is?
Deity. Dragonlance is a world where the gods had withdrawn, but now, they’re starting to reassert themselves—especially in the face of Takhisis’s looming threat. They live and die and are real beings. Almost everyone worships at least one god, most worship multiple gods or whole pantheons. Atheism is very rare, and often has divine consequences. Yet others are spiritual without worshiping a god. What is your character’s beliefs, and how do they guide your character?
Music. Tell me what your character sounds like, musically. You can give me a specific composer, band, style of music, or motifs, but music plays a large part in the games I run. No one’s judging your taste in music here, and I’d be more than happy to help you if you want suggestions.
Please provide up to three links to Youtube videos showcasing the music you’ve chosen. If you only mention a genre (“Classic Rock!” or “Rap”), that’s fine, too. You can be as general or specific as you like (“Jimi Hendrix’s Woodstock performance of the Star Spangled Banner”).
I’m a composer and I know a bit of music theory, so you can even speak in those terms, too! (“She’s the character equivalent of a tritone.” or “He’s the living embodiment of the Andalusian cadence played in a tresillo rhythm.”)
Impressions. Your impression of other characters. This will help us develop relationships before the game starts. However, this is obviously not required because, depending on how many people apply, this will become burdensome.
Images. (Other than your Character) Tattoos; images of animal companions or familiars; clothing items; whatever you like, and however many you feel the need to post.
Connections. One or more living family member(s) they could visit, and who knows them and would give them and their friends beds to sleep in and a hardy meal in their bellies. They’ll even direct nosy stalkers in the wrong direction for you as best they can. BUT! One enemy stalking the world that has a legitimate grievance against them and is out there, looking for them to right your character’s wrong. I can’t promise either or both of them will come into play.
