The start of a journey
You stop in awe as you near the gates. The great walls stand before you, the protection of the greatest city of the north. Hundred meter tall, Flarion's barricades shine in the purple tone of pure skystone, their open mouth invites you to Cindar, capital of Karne, home to the madar-gal, the most ancient city north of the gandanic mountains. You stand awed, but force yourself to move. You have a mission here, something you can't stop to stare at walls of a city without even entering it. How could you be distracted so easily! You continue onward when a voice calls to you
stop!
Without thinking, you immediatly stop in your tracks. Than you look at the guards, at your friends behind you, at the people going in and out of the city gate. None called. None responded to the shout. You continue. You have a purpose. You cant stop to respond to everything shouted your way, even if you didnt imagine it! You take another step to the gate
Look
You turn without thinking, but before you can turn again toward the gates, or even scold yourself, you see a slender elf looking at you. She looks back at your eyes, and you cant turn. Why indeed would you turn? She said look at her. She says than another thing, musical voice ringing at your ears
Tell me
Tell you what? You respond, compelled to answer
Of yourself. Who are you
Her voice takes away all thought, and you answer can only say the most simple direct answer in you
[]I am

"But what are you? Where do you come from?"
[]"I am a commoner, one of the simple people"
[]"I was a warrior, and I was training in fighting since reaching 12".
[]"I was a trained in mystical arts"
[]"I was a servant of the great forces of this world"
[]"I am a noble, a ruler, of an ancient family"
[]"I grew up on the street, alone. I fought to survive since I remember myself"
-[]optional:background write-in
"And what do you do? What are you skilled at?"
Without thinking, you automaticaly answer:
"I am
[]an assasin(Assasins are great at stealth and subterfuge, and are the best class at fighting a single opponent, though they are not so good at fighting groups)
[]a burglar(burglars are masters of sneaking, and using sleight of hand and such. They arent the most skilled combatants, but they can hold their own, and are skilled in tricking their enemies and fighting dirty
[]a captain(Captains are great combatqnts and supports, experts at leading the battle fighting while strenghening allies)
[]a courtier(Courtiers are master talkers and manipulators, and can bolster their allies in combat. They however lack almost any combat ability or even non social ability, which could make this quest pretty difficult)
[]an explorer(explorer excel at overcoming obstacles of an adventure, especially tjose common at dungeons and wilderness, but lack almost any combat ability, which could make this quest pretty difficult)
[]a lancer(Lancers are champions great at fighting and leading, and are at their best mounted)

[]a scout(scout are great, well, scouts, and masters of terrain. They are very good combatants, and are best at using the terrain to their advantage)
[]a soldier(the most specialized combatant there is, extremely skilled fighter)
"
"And what are you good at?"
For the first time in the prolonged interrogation, you stumble. Not that you dont want to answer, you want to answer more than anything, and what else there is to desire other than doing what SHE wants. But there is too much for your compelled mind to easily find an answer. Finally you settle on:
[]I am very

Well this is my third quest, the 2 others however were closed as only one or two people quitted and I felt awkward continuing. So I decided to start anew, hopefully it will go better. If you have any advice for helping it, please write me, and if you know someone who would be intrested in this, please tell him(I am not hoping for tons of people, but 3-5 voters most times will be nice)

Lore
Lore- Demons, gods and the creation.
First, the gods were created of divine essence, and aside from them, only jumbled essence without form existed. Ilrin, greatest of the gods, understood that creation is not yet complete. And so the gods worked, what then had no name, but would now be a millenia. They gave form to essence, order to chaos. Creating the stars and the earth, the forests and mountains. organizing the essence into the great form, predetermined. Creating the world.
While creating, the gods essence mixed with that of the world. The mixed essence took form too, and mortals came to be. Many of the gods took joy in what came of them, changing them into what they wished, leading and teaching them. Some gods made new races from mortals, creating things like lizardman from lizards, and ogres from the giant. Prosperity came to the world.
Some of the essences, didnt just mix a little. For some of the gods, their whole being mixed with natural forces, changing them fundamantally. Those were no longer gods, but became spirits, and each were tied closely to some natural force. No longer beings as much as forces themselves, part of the lands. The greatest spirit became the four elements, the great forces at the base of all other nature.
The prosperity, meanwhile , lasted shortly. While some of the gods wanted to help and guide the new mortals, some sought to use and destroy them. Those evil gods became devils. Darkness was created, a contrast to the light. At first, each side tried to ignore the other, each keeping to each interests. But as races expanded and grew, conflict was inevitable. The celestial war ensued.
The war lasted ages. Heroes of each side rose, doing great deeds was echoes are still told. Each side learnt from the creation of mortals, giving form to the ambient divine essence that still flooded the celestial planes, creating angels and demons, agents and soldiers to do their will. Whole continents burned. Miuntains crambled, and lush plians became lifeless deserts. The spirits became startled of the conflict, and nature itself went mad.
No one knows this day what caused the end of the war, but at last, demons and gods alike retreated to the celestial planes, weakened. Since then, they have still taken to world, but rarely and weaker, and taking mortal like form.the war between light and dark hasnt ended, but from now on it was fought by mortal hands.
Many ages passed since, and many heroes lived, many stories were told. Yet the war is still being fought. But more than the war is fought on battlefields, claim priests and prophets, it is fought at the heart of the people. Each deed done, shifts the balance. For every person helping those in need, taking mercy, the light cheers. For every one preying on the need, living only for himself, the dark grows. And so will be, claim prophets, for ever and more, until all is good and light has won, or all is evil and dark has triumphed

philosophers claim, that anything in the world, and the universe awhole, is made of two things. Essence, and Form. Essences are many, matter and energy, fire wster earth and air, time and space and divine.but essence is itself is just a jumbled mess, like the world before creation. No, the world, the gods, the people, and amythibg else, are not just combination of essences. They are essence given form. Forms are many, beyond count, infinite, and are shaped all time. When the woodchopper chops a tree, he changes its tree form to something else. When the carpenter than makes a table of it, he gives it the form of table. Not every change to form is so casual of course. When the gods created the world from the non divine essences, they gave it form, not one they decided, though influenced, but the very form of a world, predetermined. When divine essence mixed with worldly, mortals were created through forms, which sometimes were changed by gods. And everything, from the sky to the earth, and all between, and even gods and the celestial, are made of essence and given form

Um your votes looks complex
The first one is choosing a name, race, and gender, the second is class, and the third fourth and fifth determine ability scores
I tried to make the character generation faster and incorporate it into story for the first time, so I might have done some things badly
For example:
[]plan example
[]I am ragin
-[]a male human
[]a burglar
[]I am very
-[]agile
[]And I am also quite
-[]strong
-[]charismatic
[]Though I was never really
-[]stout

[X] Plan Dungeon delver
The character generation will be fast this time thanks to those changes however, and the next update will close some last pieces and start the quest
Vote will close anyway in 24 hours, the system is fantasy craft.
Do note that explorer is a "hard class" since it has very little combat ability. It is possible to take it, just be aware that it is high difficulty

[X] Plan Lizard Knight
I decided to give a survey of the result of each plan. I will start with lizard knight now, and do the rest soon. If someone will make another plan, I will give another survey
Lizard knight:
Lizardmen are usually agile and fight in light armor. You will have average dexterity only since you took it as bad ability, but thanks to the lizardmen agile defense, you defense will still be solid, probably with a breastplate armor. You strengh and constitution will both be around 16-18 each, with close charisma. Captains, unlike other classes, are pretty much built to take with a secondary class, to enchance fighting ability, much through bonus feats the captain lacks. So you will have a choice whether to be 3rd level captain, or take 2 levels than one level of either soldier lancer or scout. You will also get to choose from a great variety of weapons and styles, thanks to the captain abundant weapon training
In skills, you will be a great face, and will have some skills like riding and athletics
You will also have a retainer, but your specialized fighting style will be weaker because of your low amount of feats, unless you take soldier multiclass

Locking in 4 hours
Dungeon delver, lizard knight, and enby elf are at a draw, dwarf priest with 1 vote
I am sorry, but I cant give more surveys because of RL
Okay, if there are no other votes, it seemes we go with dungeon delver(high difficulty)
Well, reviewing my planning, it seems playing a non combatant will be more like impossible than hard. My bad, since thise classes are intended for party play, but here you will need to fight by tourself, and your chances of doing so succesfuly are very low against any opponent with classes like courtier.
@Nevill @Whenyouseeyou you might want to chamge your vote
Sorry

The start of a journey part 2
"Well, you intrest me, Shas'ilikh" she says, smiling at you. Your whole mind screams with pleasure at the gesture of satisfaction
Your awakening mind notices the slightly blurry edges of your sight, the people completely ignoring you, and you take another step. MISSION, you have a mission! Though, what was it?
[]You came to seek aid from the capital, for purging the orcish menace of your mother's lands
[]You came to join the famed warrior vonz dor ark in his quest to slay the dragon dunurik that terrorises the countryside

[]You came to serve the king with the brewing trouble

Your step strangely streches, and you find yourself exactly where you was. Well, why wouldnt you? You didnt moved! You need to please the elf! More important than your mission!
"Your mind is strong indeed", she says and you shudder, to think you displeased the wonderful lady, have caused her trouble!!
"As a repayment, you may answer a few questions I have"
You cheer immediatly, a repayment! Another chance to help her
"How came a lizardwoman be a noble? Your people are strangers from the southeast, mainly traders and merceneries"
"I am adopted. My parents never talk about how I came to be their child and heir, rarely even about me not being their offspring, but it is clear, as they are humans both, while I am a

"Good, this is intresting. Be ready, as I have a mission for you. You will know in time, understand"?
"Anything to please you" you answer, and to your delight she smiles
"Good. Until we meet again, you may forget me"
You stop in awe as you near the gates. The great walls stand before you, the protection of the greatest city of the north. Hundred meter tall, Flarion's barricades shine in the purple tone of pure skystone, their open mouth invites you to Cindar, capital of Karne, home to the madar-gal, the most ancient city north of the gandanic mountains. You stand awed, but force yourself to move. You have a mission here, you can't stop to stare at walls of a city without even entering it
You move quickly, as a different, more mundane, familiar voice calls
"WAIT FOR US"
you slow, allowing your friends to catch up with you. Those two have come all the way to help you, you csnt abandon them: (choose two)
[]your childhood friend, the elven mage Vilix
[]your lifelong teacher, the sage Pirix
[]your fellow knight, the lancer Baldin
[]your guardian, the dwarven soldier Rorix
[]your supposed spiritual guide, the war cleric Vasht
[]your duelist friend, the assasin Vanin
[]your "specialist", the pech burglar Fildor
Them, your armor, and the small amount of equipment on your horses are all you took, as you need to move quickly. Well, and of course, your
[]spear(spears are great mobile weapon, all while getting reach and a shield. They have some less damage, but they can trip and cause bleeding, and are good for gaining an advantage in combat. A skillled spearman can also wield them like staves or polearms, giving them additional versatility and uses)
[]mace(maces are great at weakening enemies and incapacitating them.)
[]hammer(hammers are great at control effects, and work well against armored foes. They also have a good damage, especially with two handed version, but they are lesser at other combat actions like disarm or trip)
[]greatsword(greatswords focus on striking heavily. Their heavy damage supported by feats that help get the most from each strike, they feature less mobility but may have reach, and are great at holding your ground)
[]axe(axes are quite versatile. They have good armor pierce and can cause bleeding, and they are good for a variety of circumstances, from damaging enemies gear and striking unmoving enemies to hurling them at distant foes)
[]rapier(rapiers are weapon made for opportunities. A rapier weider wont do much damage most times, but he can defend well, and when the enemy gives an opening, his strimes are deadly. Those traits are further increased with its bleeding wounds, great armor pierce, and high crits)
[]bow(the bow is very lethal, and an unmoving archer could do high damage. In the right hands, it is one of the most accurate weapons and is highly effective against armored opponents)
[]flail(flails are momentum. Flail users are all about using their weapon to attack a lot, then use the momentum of those attacks to strike dven harder. They can make more attacks then any weapon, and the more they hit, the harder they hit. Flail masters are also very hard to anticipate, and combine their attacks with disarms, grapples, and trips)
[]sword(sword are a great weapon for balance and defense. Having a good defense by themselves and being wielded with a shield, they have great defense. They are good at a great variety of options, from disarming and tripping to threatening foes, and are best with anticipating your enemy moves{this might make a harder weapon, since it is highly dependent on high insight, and you are somewhat lacking at this, though not really incapable)
[]polearm(polearm,with their great reach, are great weapons for holding enemies at bay. They are great at hindering enemy movement and tripping them. They can also feature a variety of other traits, from armor pierce and high crits to heavy strikes and disarming ability)
Suddenly, a rough voice brings you out of your contemplation
"Where are you headed?", asks the guard captain " my apologies my, ahm, lady, but thevking orders saysI must write down where stranger are headed, due to the recent troubles"
Well you can t get to your mission just yet, so of course you go to
