Alrighty… Will roll now… and see what the three random options are…
19 - Mercenary Veteran
As a sell-sword who fought battles for coin, you’re well acquainted with risking life and limb for a chance at a share of treasure. Now, you look forward to fighting foes and reaping even greater rewards as an adventurer. Your experience makes you familiar with the ins and outs of mercenary life, and you likely have harrowing stories of events on the battlefield. You might have served with a large outfit such as the Zhentarim or the soldiers of Mintarn, or a smaller band of sell-swords, maybe even more than one. (See the “Mercenaries of the North” sidebar for a collection of possibilities.)
Now you’re looking for something else, perhaps greater reward for the risks you take, or the freedom to choose your own activities. For whatever reason, you’re leaving behind the life of a soldier for hire, but your skills are undeniably suited for battle, so now you fight on in a different way.
23 - Sage
You spent years learning the lore of the multiverse. You scoured manuscripts, studied scrolls, and listened to the greatest experts on the subjects that interest you. Your efforts have made you a master in your fields of study.
18 - Knight of the Order
You belong to an order of knights who have sworn oaths to achieve a certain goal. The nature of this goal depends on the order you serve, but in your eyes it is without question a vital and honorable endeavor. Faerûn has a wide variety of knightly orders, all of which have a similar outlook concerning their actions and responsibilities.
Though the term “knight” conjures ideas of mounted, heavily armored warriors of noble blood, most knightly orders in Faerûn don’t restrict their membership to such individuals. The goals and philosophies of the order are more important than the gear and fighting style of its members, and so most of these orders aren’t limited to fighting types, but are open to all sorts of folk who are willing to battle and die for the order’s cause.
The “Knightly Orders of Faerûn” sidebar below details several of the orders that are active at present and is designed to help inform your decision about which group you owe allegiance to.
Yes, this is for the game character, not Mav’s. Whether they align with Mav personally is up to you.
I just realised earlier that I forgot to ask you about this name. Only 'cause yes, Mav does pick it. Though it is still the game character’s name that they’re known by in their history. So if you really want a username, that’s cool, but this is what NPCs will be calling them.
Cool. Oh yup, well, if you want, he could just have no faith. That’s cool too.
Sooo if I wanted Hermes’s personality to align with Mav’s, would that be okay? Like if I chose a different ideal/bond/flaw from the list of criminal thingies? maybe even one personality trait
there’s just others that work better with him, but i can work with what I’ve been given
I meannnnnn, that just sounds like annoying for people to type out
tbf 3628 just stands for EMav if you use the phone digit thingy
but not really cause it would be 3362888 but uhm anyway
Hermes also works as a name
Actually having no faith does sound kinda fun- he’s his own diety
If you can justify your reasoning to me for one or two, then… maybe. Though I really want to stick to random 'cause the game (creators) pick them. They are different after all, this is just the character they’ve agreed to play to attempt to win.
Uh… LOL. Okay.
Though the typing idea doesn’t really work since he’s the only one who actually types it, not including you and your fellow RPers. But after he’s in the game, communication is done through your mind, not fingers.
this was the annoying part-
i don’t care if mav finds it annoying to type out-
okay cool. I’m all good with keeping them. Kind of a fun writing exercise anyway. So is Mav trying to work with his character to do things or will the character automatically act a certain way?
Ooooh… so it was Skyler trying to be annoying outside of the RP.
Wicked. Yeah, it is a bit. Would make a cool exercise for regular RP character creating.
Oh, nah, just how game characters (not in the party) who know Hermes will see him as, like what character they know him as in the past. Though Mav plays him how he wants to when he’s in there.
