I'm backish. Got a couple more things I need to do before I can settle down, but I'll try to finish my character sheet.

Right now, I might need money tips, if anything. I'll try to list what I can think off in a second.

Also, Tarmikos will speak in the color of his lineage.

Whoops. Didn't see this here. Hmm, so greyish is taken....how about dramatic dark color

@Razorback So how long were you thinking of knowing each other for? Imaran was raised by Sverfnebli (long story ), but after that I could meet you for adventures in the human world?

Edit: and do you have a place in the city in mind?

also, qwerty, could you repost the characters table here in the OP, so i dont have to search for it? Thanks.

Hmm, being 88 years since inception, anywhere in your lifespan will probably work. Could have kept running into you at various bizarre's, libraries, book merchant, etc.

Does that mean I should choose a Roman god instead? I was considering Bahamut for me (and Tiamat for my brother), but I'm sure we can find some Roman Gods that would rival eachother....

Kinda wish Bards could be Lawful.... or if there was a Lawful variant for Bards... couple of awesome Crusader abilities are only open to Lawful peoples...

Halaza will talk in: DeepSkyBlue
And if no one object, Jesskya will speak in DarkOrchid
(I am happy to give up the colour if someones main char wants that colour)
(Yes my mount can speak common....)

...

Hope my post didnt make the city sound too shabby.
But I imagine compared to the Celestial cities Halaza has seen that this city is not that impressive.

Seems you hit the stricter guards. Their boss may have a few words with them later about gender (and species) equality.

There's quite the list to choose from.

As you wish. EDIT: Now with claimed colors! BTW, I will be using red for things you need to notice, so consider it taken.

I like how this game's world is suddenly sexist. I get enough of that in the real world, so thanks, Psymple.

Zrekha will be Bold I guess.

It was a bit sarcastic on my part as I figured with 5 or more, there was going to be some confusion on colors along with some getting colors like yellow, which can be hard on the eyes.

Razorback. Starting walking down the steps of the library? So far in my backstory, I ran into you a few months ago and we've stuck together since (as fellow book-lovers). Objections?

Can anyone tell me if I can use Bardic Knack for the sake of skill synergies? Or do I still need to put ranks in skills to recieve bonuses like that, as well as for requirements for abilities?

Also, is anyone else using Use Magic Device, or should I try to find room for ranks in it?

Zrekha is a Warlock, so has Use Magic Device maxed and can always take 10 on it.

Hmmm. Perhaps my friend the sociopathic hunter might like this large and in charge warrior. If there is anything Lyral respects, it is strength (not just Strength, mind).

Not to mention that Zrekha is actively looking for fellow adventurers, and Lyral is an armed man wandering the market by himself. How likely is it that they would cross paths immediately?

I'd say about 100% chance of that happening.

I won't get into a discussion about sexism, but to force the game world to be sexist just so you can get into an argument with the guard is very inconsiderate.

As the DM said it could have just been those guards.

Predudice happens, even in D&D...
I dont care either way but, really?

Abit far calling it a selfish post.
When predudice occurs in all walks of life and in almost every aspec in which a species can have diversity...

Anyway, I agree lets not get into sexism... or racism or homophobia...
But you cant pretend it doesnt exist.

Really. Prejudice can happen, but there's no point dragging it in unnecessarily. As you said, there was already a reason for her not to be allowed in (The unicorn).

Yes, I can. That's part of the reason to roleplay - escapism. I roleplay because it's fun. I can roleplay to handle tough issues if I want to, and I'm doing so in another game. My only issue is when it is brought into something it has no reason to be brought into.

If somebody wants to play a sexist character, they can and I won't bring it up. Somebody who despises goblins or kobolds or elves or people of a different culture, they can do that too. But you applied a crushing despair situation from which there is no escape to a world just so you could have a small squabble.

It left a bad taste in my mouth.

You are being rather dramatic as to how much I forced it.
I am sorry you do not like what happened but I RP as I would expect the world to be. Predudice runs rife within Police and Military forces, they are almost known for it. There is no need to have it but its another small detail that makes a world feel normal, thats how it works. There is no need for this world to have violence or dragons either, but it does...
If you would like to kindly ask for us to not have sexism that is fine but to lose your cool and start suggesting I am being insensitive and unthoughtful for not asking permission to RP a common predudice within a make believe world is a little extreme.

I am sorry for unknowning, yet deeply, insulting your ways...
