So here is the ooc. Please post your characters here. Once everyone has posted their sheets get some Chatter going. I am gona need another week to get the campaign ready. This game will be as Cheesy as the show and anyone that aids in the cheesyness through good rp I can promise will get bonuses.
Everyone get to know each other. I want you all to know each other at least fairly well.
Around six months ago each one of you was delivered a message, to one it was s message from the deity the hero worship, for two it was a message carried on the wind like a song, for one the very earth seemed to desire he move, and for one a burning image fire called out in the dream realm. Regardless of the means the message was sent, they were all clear enough. A darkness was rising here and you lot had to fight it.
The yearning and messages lead you to outskirts the city of (will be filled in when I decide which one it shall be). Waiting for you all there was an airship of truly ancient design and yet it looked as if brand new. The ship then actually teleported the lot of you inside and took off into the skyies.
From there you learned that each one of you was chosen by the entire host of divine gods in Eberron, for the dark gods had picked their own champion. You were to be trained then armed with divine artifacts to combat this foe and it's forces.
That was six months ago. Inside the ship is any non-magical piece of gear you need as well as Omega your warforged Pilot. The training was mostly just to make sure you all knew each other's powers so that you could fight as a group. The first adventure you go on will be finding one of the divine artifacts needed to help you defeat the evil, and no you do not get to know it's name yet.
The ship is large enough for a dining hall, armory, alchemy lab, message/planning room, and a captain's quarters sized room for each of you.

Fire and Earth elementals could probably be found together around an active volcano. You'd think at such sites the elemental power would be very pure. We could make our characters know eachother or something. Just an idea if you wanted to go that route.
But...
I was actually thinking I'd probably have Adom hail from a cold mountainous area, in which case it would be natural to have the Frostsoul know him. This idea is inspired by the "Form of Winter's Herald" power, which gives Adom just a little taste of cold power. (There weren't any Stone/Earth themed forms at that level that would fit, and this form is an important part of the build crunch wise.)
It might make sense if one of Adom's parents was a Frostsoul, or at least if he had some frost-blood in him.
So Iceman if you are up for it we could have our characters be cousins or something?

Vanri has undergone some mostly inconsequential modifications. I couldn't figure out how you'd managed the ability score spread with the two 10s Strains so I switched it to a 9 and 11, also if it doesn't effect the integrity of the build I swapped CHA for WIS and Intimidate for Heal, Vanri is a shy young gal and it didn't really make sense for her to be all that socially inclined or very scary.

that is fine but then you have to change your lvl 2 utility.
Here's my sheet -> Jett. To make the build a tad more lightning focused, I swapped my level 1 daily to Strom Call and I though I could refluff Thunder of Judgement in to a chain lightning like effect.
For backstory, I know Rokku and me are siblings, but beyond that I'm not sure.
For personality I was thinking of having Jett be normally quite calm and pleasant, but if somebody angers him he'll won't restrain in taking them out.

Androgeus' 3 step guide to Doctor Who speculation:
So here is Lumen, and I think he will take Orange, or dark orange, depending on how they look.
Lumen's backstory will be more of a wandering warrior for the Light. He manifested in a warrior's Temple of the Light, and trained there from the time he was a boy up until a certain age. Then went to walk along his path that the Light showed him, doing good all around the lands. Then he gets his call and meets everyone and is now on the quest in front of them.
I think Dark Orange because it is a little easier seen.
Edit: Backstory!!
Spoiler
Lumen was manifest in a temple of the light, high on top of a mountain. The temple there was a strict temple devoted to training its followers in the ways of battle so they could roam the land helping people when darkness surrounded them, and defending those less fortunate. Lumen started his life there as all do, when he was 5, as an apprentice to a Master Cleric. Because he was a Genasi that was made up of Radiant light, he was always treated differently by his mentors and all the other children generally picked on him and made fun of him. It also didn't help that he was always small for his age, or even for a child 2 years younger than him. This went on for many years and Lumen did his best to keep a good mind about it all. His mentors were generally nice to him, the Master Cleric he was apprenticed to was hard on him but also respectful and fair to him when he deserved it. Eventually, around when he turned 14, the children stopped picking on Lumen because that is when he shot up and bulked up in size. When he turned 13, he started his intense training as a Cleric of the Light and starting lifting weights, running, and training with the weapon that he seemed to have an unusual proficiency with, an execution axe.
In no time he had grown much stronger, but he still looked quite puny compared to all the other trainees. Then soon after he turned 14, he shot up like a stalk. In a manner of months he grew from being 5'5", to an astounding 6'4", and he towered over even his mentors. After that the other trainees mostly left him alone, and even befriended the giant Genasi. Lumen soon rose in the ranks of the clerics and became, himself, a master as well by he was 22. Then he decided to leave, as many clerics did at some point in their careers at the temple, to roam around the lands looking to help people and show them the Path of the Light. Many years went by and he did a lot of good throughout the land and made a name for himself as someone you definitely want on your side helping you, not charging at you with that axe. Then one day, in the middle of his 32nd year, he got a call from the Light. He awoke one day, just before dawn, and prayed as the sun came up, as he often did. This time, however, his mind was flooded with images, emotions, and signs, something was coming and he was needed. He was shown where to go, which he did immediately. When he arrived he was very surprised at what he saw. Not only was there a massive ship that he had all sorts of things he had never seen before, but also there was a whole group of Genasi, each with a different manifested element, there as well.
He soon learned that they had all got the same message as he did, that something dark and evil was coming, and they had been called to defend the world from it. For the next 6 months they trained and became prepared to face this evil. Not only individually, but as a group as well, so they became very comfortable with each other and each others' fighting styles. Soon they moved around the battlefield as one group, not separate fighters, and they felt ready to take on this challenge that had been set before them. It was now time to find the first artifact that had been shown to them to help with their battle against the evil that was on its way. So they sailed on, to their destinies, together.
Adom hails from a sparsely populated mountaineous region to the north. Domuri mountain is a focus point for primal elemental power, and the Genasi clans who live there are sworn to protect it from intruders.
Adom was raised by his mother in the Domu (earthsoul) clan, who live underground in caves and tunnels, drawing strength from the ever-present mountain. His father, now deceased, is from the Urim (frostsoul) clan that lives primarily around the icy summit and peaks. The two clans live in general peace, with most disputes resolved through mediation by clan elders.
Most recently the Domu and Urim clan combined efforts to fight off a group of industrious humans intent on harvesting the precious metals there. Though the Genasi were heavily out-numbered, Adom was a key part of the successful defense.
Earthsoul Genasi are naturally strong and tough, but of the Domu clan, Adom is the strongest and the toughest. Wounds that would slay a human can be shrugged off by Adom. He can summon a tough earthen armor on command, and his hammer can crush men in their metal armor.
It is no suprise then that when the summon came from the gods, it was Adom who heard the call. Though reluctant to leave his sacred mountain, Adom is compelled to answer the call and serve the greater good.

The Game will be starting Friday after noon. Please make sure you all have your backgrounds up and that you have made sure your characters know each other as well as training together for 6 months should make you know each other.
As a side note those that post more often and show a better flair for their character and roleplaying will gain far more bonuses then someone who is just a combat monkey.

Ok I have 6 characters and only two back stories and sheets that only some wrote down their powers... I have to say I am a little disappointed.
Yeah I'm a little surprised. There seemed to be active participation from everyone and then it just stopped.
If things do fall through I could probably play two characters. I wouldn't know which element to go with now though, since Celtic has the rediant/cleric covered.

Hey, if this gets off the ground within the next couple of days, I am still here, I promise, but I will be crazy busy at work. So just bear with me and I will post as often as I can, but know I am here and will post eventually. Thanks!
Was thinking last night that if I did play two characters, that I wouldn't try and step on any toes with the existing elements and instead play the Black Ranger I was suggesting. I put together a sheet for a Voidsoul Psion. I've got most of the background worked out in my head, but probably won't have time to type it all up for a bit.
I hope it doesn't come to that, but I am worried that three of our players haven't posted in the last nine days.
