Juste Arobe Ott

Class A: Artificer (Battle Smith) 14 Class B: Wizard (Abjurer) 14 Race: Warforged Background: Guild Artisan Gender: Male Age: ??? Ht./Wt.: 6'4"/294 lbs Hair/Eyes: Dark-Stained Maplewood/Gold and Silver filigree Description: Juste appears more like a small golem or Shield Guardian than a typical warforged. Ironwood arms and legs that move and flex like humanoid flesh is covered by the plates of Mithril and Adamantine alloy throughout his body. His build is muscular but not stylized as the fantastic large perfect specimen, but rather more akin to a competition runner. Juste's face is also strikingly human, with a fully articulating jaw outlined in silver and shocks of golden teeth when he speaks. Personality: Reserved and reticent around new folks. Others have mistook this for aloof self-absorption at times. Once comfortable amongst friends, more outgoing and extroverted. Always looking for humor and comedy in situations and more than willing to self-denigrate to achieve a laugh from his friends. Step 1: write five things about your character’s concept and background, five things that you think are the most essential parts of your character. You don’t have to stop at five, if you like…this is just a minimum. Juste was not created in the standard fashion as typical warforged. His physical form was created as the basis for a Shield Guardian that was later awakened. Juste is fascinated by all things magical, and is focused not just in the formation of spells, but the implementation of magic into devices which can be used by anyone. His Staff of Power is covered in runes, which is not the standard for magical notation amongst human practitioners of magic. The runes themselves are slight variations on both the dwarven language and that of giants. Juste believes there is no one right way to do things, especially in a world where magic seemingly responds to the willpower of practitioners. One must be flexible to proceed and not be set on one particular path. Violence is often necessary, but should never be desired. When necessary, it should be instant and overwhelming or not at all. Juste is not sure he bears a soul. He knows that typical warforged have confirmed that they indeed do, but his construction is not the same. Step 2: List two goals for the character that you, as a player, think would be cool to see accomplished in-game. Acquire or create the formula for a Staff of The Magi, then construct it. This is the master-work which will serve as his contribution to magical study. Determine if he has a soul. If not, get one. Step 3: List two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help in creating plots that center around your character. Juste has slain more than one person in cold blood on behalf of his guild. Any government would consider these murders, but Juste believes they were justified as those slain were guilty of wrongdoings. (Unknown) The animating life-force that powers Juste is actually an ancient failed lich who tried to make an animate construct the container which protected his soul. The lich's calculations were sabotaged by a rival and he is forever trapped. This life-force draws Juste towards evil, though his desire is ultimately to do good. Step 4: Describe three people that are tied to the character through blood, romance or honor. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. All can do something useful for you, if you can get the situations to line up. Guild Master Oneth Avestrum sponsored Juste's entry into his guild early in his career after Juste worked for him as a mercenary. A shrewd business man, Oneth recognized that Juste would garauntee continued revenues to The Guild as a tireless craftsman, and only recognized his talents in other areas after years of working together. Guy Maximus - A gladiator turned mercenary, frequently in the employ of Guild Master Avestrum, and thus has worked closely with Juste for more than ten years. The two have a solid working relationship together and a deep respect for the other's craft. (Hostile) Aleksandr Albright - A well known and respected member of a rival merchant's guild. Aleksandr believes Juste is responsible for Avestrum's Guild being more successful than his own, and has no respect for the "artificial man". Step 5: Describe three memories that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor. Juste's first memory is waking up in an alchemical laboratory standing over the quickly moldering corpse of some unknown humanoid. It seemed natural that as he was innately familiar with nearly all of the tools present that he should consume the available information on hand. He spent the next several weeks reading every volume within the lab. It took more than five years of careful study for Juste to manifest his first prestidigitation, but his ability as a practitioner of magic was remarked upon by other guild wizards and artificers as growing faster than most. The first time one of Juste's works sold for more than fair market price, he was absolutely elated. The event confirmed to him that his work bore some facet of desirability, and that it could sustain him.

On another note I wasn't sure what pantheon we were using so I don't have a deity (yet?)

Pick one that fits the character best or just worship an ideal


Okay gang just waiting for red to arrive but feel free to start posting in IC

[Lioslaith]

What do we know about the dragons, as in what is common knowledge? Or knowledge the characters would know growing up in this world?

[samduke]

What do we know about the dragons, as in what is common knowledge? Or knowledge the characters would know growing up in this world?

considering you are level 14, I will say that your characters will definitely know about them, perhaps even encountered a "SMALL" one. (wyrmling maybe juvenile)

Common knowledge: most are evil or presumed as such. most tend to destroy or take what they want ie gold, livestock ect..

[Lioslaith]

Would we know which ones are presumed to hold the crystals?

[samduke]

Would we know which ones are presumed to hold the crystals?

yes your characters were given the information

The mystical creature stops speaking long enough for the true situation to sink in and then continues. We believe that there can be salvation if you the chosen hero's can but succeed at what is certainly a legendary task that could end in death. It is foretold that there are 5 crystals kept by the five greatest calamities known to mankind. Yes I speak of dragons and not just the minor pests that have been causing havoc here and there, but rather these are the ones that quite possibly created each of the chromatic dragons that you all know of. They themselves only being created by the mother of dragons.

[Lioslaith]

Well I was meaning more like names and rough locations. Like Gelidon in the northern reaches of the somethingorother mountains....

no your characters were given this information

You will be left to your own devices, methods and means to complete this quest, what it is that you will need to do with the crystals is unknown but perhaps more information will be learned as they are gathered. Should you win the day and defeat evil the rewards are bound to be legendary, even beyond what the good king here can offer. With that the mystical creature falls silent.

[samduke]

*Side note*
your characters would have common knowledge that certain dragons "colors" do tend to reside in certain areas

As it has been asked I decided to list my world Patron Deities that you may follow - see post #1

If you use an Arcane Focus, you do not need spell components that do not have a listed cost.

That said, I have a number of spells I cant even cast because they cost more than the GP we were given :P

Someone wanna loan me like 600gp so I can get the ruby thing you need to cast Forecage? :D

[redfeline]

I am waiting on an IC post, to see how catwing responds.

edit:

I am mentioning this so you know why I haven't posted in a bit. No need to rush on my account.
