Finding Players (Recruitment)Look for players for chatroom, play-by-post, or even real-life games here. Threads will expire after 3 months, so be sure to move important information to your OOC thread.
Ogo, who would become known as Dreadhoof, was born when his father, Chorgin Ripmaw, a warchief of the Hold of Belkzen, sired 3 sons on 3 human slaves. As the son of a warchief he was given a place of power few half-orcs were afforded. He grew up strong and proud shorter than a true orc but well muscled and quick like a predator, truly his fathers son, cocksure and confident. He had a great affinity for animals, and reveled in training them so that they might be better than they were, but on the day he met his first horse he knew that all else he had done was merely the folly of children. He was given a foul, which he named Cindermane, for its black hair streaked with red and orange. from Cindermane's back Ogo saw and did many things, he saw his first non orc village, he took part in his first battle, and he lead his first command from his back. On that day Ogo was given 10 Orcs and told to raid a village in the cinderlands, when they had cited the village and Ogo began to give orders, but the Orcs under his command had other ideas. "The Ripmaw is dead, and there'll be no more orders from runty half breeds like you..." said one of the orcs, the others howling with laughter and approval, a terrible gleam in their eyes. Ogo would have stand and fought if he had not been out numbered 10 to 1, so he put his heels to Cindermane's flanks and fled, cursing himself as a craven coward, though i live one at that. He threw himself into taverns and bars, drinking away most of the gold he had, when his gold ran out he found work here and there, running messages, or as a hired thug, though his heart was never in it, he was only truly alive when he was riding. Living a life he never new, in a place he had only thought of as a source of plunder and slaves, his is at times shiftless and depressed, angry that he can never go home, now he yearns for something new, for battle and danger, and as he and Cindermane plod into Sandpoint, he hopes that prehaps this town will be different, that he might find some adventure! After making sure Cindermane is taken care of, Ogo strides into an Inn, orders some beer and asks for work or tales of adventure.
and there we go!

So I'm going to make the call on this. Seen as not enough people have submitted iterest, all of ou are in. The OOC will be up soon and once we've got Second Revan's character the IC will go up.

Yeah, sorry about that, had some stuff come up and I didn't have the time to devote to this. Have fun guys.
Sorry I took a bit of time, but I had to think a bit to adapt my backstories. However, I think it has turned out for the better. The differences between Riian and Alyson should now be a alot clearer.
Alyson Cait and Riian Gage were both raised in a village in Lastwall, far from the border of both Ustalav and the Hold of Belkzen. As kids, all the children in the village idolised paladins, and would often excitedly play-fight tales of resisting the orcish hordes, or fighting the return of the Whispering Tyrant. This eventually led to many of them learning to fight, in the vain hope of being able to be one of the lucky few who left the village to become a paladin, instead of doing the sensible thing and working on the farms.
Riian and Alyson were friends from early childhood, fighting in fantasy tales with all the other children. Eventually, Alyson started training with the bow while Riian trained with the sword. The two were by far the best and many expected them to be lucky enough to be recruited, even after Riian woke up one day blind, saved only by a new sense that allowed him to understand where things were.
As they grew older, they eventually become lovers, but their affair ended when Riian's parents had to leave the village, to help family living in Varisia, forcing him to leave behind, unbeknownst to him, the newly pregnant Alyson.
Riian originally fared well in his new home of Sandspoint, managing to settle down successfully. Closer to scholars of magic in Magnimar, he divided his time between his new city and the academy, where he learnt more about his blindness and discovered the magical powers he had been blessed with.
Riian quickly became a fixture in the Sandspoint community. At first, he tried to become a guard to put his skills to use, but he found the structure too confining and instead turned to more general adventuring. He spent his time wandering around the surrounding area, facing whatever threats were nearby and living up to the wandering paladin archetype he once admired.

Well, here are the other two Halfear brothers: Hargrim the boisterous warrior and Hardek the trapper. I may make some revisions once I read the Curse of the Crimson Throne Player's Guide.
Hey Thattaman, do you think you could edit the title of this thread to show that recruitment is closed? I had kinda wanted to join, but I see that it's too late. However, the thread title didn't say so and I kinda had to read through several pages to find that out...
