    You are among the last remnant of your great clan, one that was demonized and cast out of society for their power. You're now a wanderer, feared and hated by all. Save for the idealistic ones who grant you a place to sleep and maybe something to eat. Sometimes you wonder why this happened to you, an act of God, was your family actually heretics using demonic magic? You don't know, you just hope things would go back to the way they could be.

    But enough wallowing in your own depression, you just have to remind yourself who you are.

    -[X] Lucky: Despite my current... 'predicament' Lady Luck seems to have not completely forsaken me. Seven times out of ten I'll win more money then I'll lose in a game of chance, Or an enemy will just miss me despite there being no good reason for it happening. (One and only one re-roll per day. Cannot save it so you can have 2 re rolls for the next day. If that is to overpowered then lets just make it so you can reroll if you roll a 1 but you have to keep the next roll, even if it's a 1.)

    -[X] Silver tongue: According to my Father I inherited my Mother's way with words, Seems his right, I can mostly barter the Shopkeepers down their price to something more reasonable or I can convince a person to let me stay the night at their home. (+3 at convincing people to do something favorable for you, stacks with skills when talking to people.)

    -[X] Trained In duel wielding: I was Taught by our Clan's Swordmaster in the art of duel wielding. With my Swords I can make what most say looks like a whirlwind of steel. (When attacking You get attack twice for one action. Also you can roll a d6 and add the number you roll to your overall defense until its your turn again.)

    [X] What Are Your Four Negative Traits?
    -[X] Cursed: I have been bitten by a Werewolf and will forever be doomed to transform when the Moon is full, When transformed I have a insatiable blood-lust making me attack friend and foe alike. I can barely control myself when Transformed.

    -[X] Proud: I am a Hunter of Clan MacGregor and I will tolerate no insult to my clan or to my own honor! (When someone Insults you or Clan MacGregor you will have to make a willpower check to not confront them, When you confront the offending party they must either apologize or fight you in a duel. If you succeed a willpower check to not confront them then you must roll a d4 to see how many days you will be angered by the insult you will have a minus 4 to all actions until the amount of days have passed.)

    -[X] High metabolism: Ever scene I was bitten by that Werewolf I have found myself eating enough for two people. (Exactly what it says on the tin.)

    -[X] Illiterate: Living in the highlands learning to read was somewhere deep down at the bottom of on the list of to know to survive likely next to painting. (You do not know how to read or write. You can learn to but It will take time.)

    [X] I was born to Asher and Molly MacGregor of Clan MacGregor in the Highlands of 5 peaks. I was always a wild child, going out and exploring forests and glens, wrestling with the Sheep dogs. I shot and killed by first boar when I was 7 when I was brought out hunting with my Father, I still remember how proud he was of me and not to long after that my Uncle Balin who was the Clan's Hunter took me on as a apprentice.

    He taught me most everything to was to being a hunter, Also I learned from The Clan's swordmaster Harden MacGregor who trained me in the style of twin sword fighting, Tough to master but when you do it's almost like one is a force of nature.

    Our Clan Shaman also taught me some Restoration spells so I could heal myself and others.

    I become a Clan hunter when I was 16 and I worked with my Uncle to protect the Clan from all dangers that come from the wilds, Be it man or monster.

    When I was 20 my Uncle went out one night to deal with a wolf that had been attacking our sheep, The wolf had also killed two of our sheepdogs, I don't know what happened then but he did kill it but when he came back he had a nasty wound on his side and he was bedridden for days, suffering a high fever. After about 5 days the fever broke and by day 7 he had seemly recovered.

    When asked what had happen he said that the wolf had just gotten one last spiteful bite in before he slayed it but it was nothing to worry about now, How I wish he had been right.

    As the time of the full moon came closer Uncle Balin started acting more different, First he become more angry and moody, then He started eating much more then usual and on the last day before I went back home I noticed that his eyes started turning more animal like. When I saw this I just dismissed it has a trick of the light.

    At midnight me and the rest of the Clan heard this howl that echoed thought out the glen. I started putting on my gear to see what it was when I heard screams coming from the village. As quickly as I could I rushed out to find out what was going on and in the center of the village ripping off a mans arm stood a werewolf.

    At around this time several fellow Clansmen had formed a quick militia and along with me tried to keep the beast at bay. The Werewolf was strong and brutal, biting one mans head clean off and slicing another man in twain, although we were injuring the Beast none of it seem to slow it down.

    After ripping apart another man It turned it's attention on me. First it swiped at me but I managed to weave out of the way but as I prepared to counterattack it slammed it's arm into me knocking the wind out of me and onto the ground. As I tried to get up I saw the Werewolf leap at me intending to rip my throat out. I raised my arm to block it and I felt it Bit into my arm, Cracking bone and tearing flesh.

    In a panic I lunged with my sword wildly and found my mark. Turns out that a Sword going though a werewolf's heart will kill it like any other beast. I remember the look of shock on it's face as it pulled away from me and clumsily step back, slowing shrinking down until it was the size of a man and soon stood my Uncle Balin stood before me and the surviving clansmen, Soon after transforming Uncle Balin collapsed to ground dead.

    All I remember was being horrified at what just happened and after that everything becomes a blur. Nightmares of a violent beast stalking me. The voices of my Father and Mother arguing with other clansmen, Feeling so sick that I just wished that I would die, and then the staring into a pool and seeing a reflection of myself, staring back was the beast that stalked my Nightmares.

    I woke up it had been about a week after the attack and I had found that my arm had fully healed. In the time I had been bedridden like my Uncle had been. The clan had made the connection fairly early on while I was sick. My Father, Mother, my teacher Swordmaster Harden and other clansmen had been arguing against the rest of the clan on killing me while I was bedridden, We had lost 17 Clan members to my Uncle's transformation and the Clan was deeply divided as to what to do about me.

    After I was well enough to start walking around I saw barely veiled distrust and in many cases fear my once fellow clansmen treated me with. As much as I wanted to denied it I knew that they were right to fear me. After a week I announced I was going into voluntary exile until I could find a cure for my affliction.

    It's been 4 years since I left my Clan, So far no luck on finding a cure to beast that is inside me.

    (Sorry if this was not what you had in mind. If you have any problems or questions about this just let me know and I will try to fix or answer your questions. I hope you all like it. Also I did not know what kind of dice system you are using so I just kind of throw it together for what dice roll was be used.)

    I'll be having players roll dice for combat and speech checks, also your character is a 'Impure' Werewolf. Caused by a bite, and not full on Lycanthropism. But credit for the story, pretty nice.

    But would you like to know about werewolves in this quest?

    Nothing, you're doing great.

    But not all werewolves are evil, some were created to be defenders. You have Holy Werewolves and Demonic ones, with 'Impure' ones being the ones in between, though sometimes Lycantrhopy is just part of the family. They're called purebloods, and it's not an insult to be called a Impure Blooded Werewolf, some actually take pride in being called such.

    Since your character was bitten, that makes them an impure one. But since Werewolves are sometimes crazy and terrifying, they're looked at differently depending on what region or group your following.

    Holy Werewolves have white, light brown, or any other noble colored fur. They're looked upon with a mixture of terror and awe, with some serving as frontline soldiers for the crusaders.

    Demonic Werewolves have black and/or red fur, with the addition of horns on their head. These guys are the ones you want to stay the hell away from, since they're responsible for a lot of atrocities.

    The ones that are in between vary from family or even outlook, some see it as a curse, some see it as a blessing, despite the...Bloodlust that follows.
     
    [X[X] I Am…
    [X] Name: Bagi,youngest ( and the weakest and frailest your kinmen like say ) daughter of the late High lord Srilog.

    -[X] Race: Neanderthal (think them as fusion of wildlings, giants,beasts from bloodborne, with a pinch of golem and a big dash of Manus the primordial man and pygmies from dark souls.)

    -[X] Bonuses: deceptive and animal like flexiblelity, nimblness and agility. Unmatched strength . Heightened senses. Gigantic(size ranges from Ornstein to Yhorm with Bagi(still growing mind you) being one and half bigger than the former. Unique magics and fighting styles. Very commanding and intidamiting to smaller ( and/or weak willed) creatures. Smooth stone and bark like skin that is highly resistant to physical and most elemental magic. Mid Pain tolerance.Have mid healing and regenerative capabilities. Have teeth and claws that can do some nasty damage. And can run and walk on all fours. Has a Long life span.

    -[X] Drawbacks: Can do only anything related stealth at late at night or very dark places. Fine manipulation for smaller objects are the bane of your race. While your kind can heal,it's usually gets slower and steadier with the more major wounds. Hard to fit into certain buildings. Weak to storm and chaos magic and weapons that infused with these magic.

    @Mad Oracle Maybe you can help me make some more bonuse and weakness for Neanderthals. And with Bagi's history too.

    Also Bagi looks interesting, took inspiration from Dark Souls Giants and some others? That actually is pretty nice, though Giants are badass anywhere in fantasy.

    So similar to a Giant, definitely going to have problems with stealth, but how tall is she (short by her races standards, fuckhuge by ours? or just a few feet above our tallest person.)

    Also fine manipulation of small objects, that's a problem.

    Bonuses however are a damn goldmine, being tall gives you an air of commanding (I know this from experience) and can be useful for intimidating people. Another thing is ease of covering large spaces of areas, and since she's underhanded, it means she knows her ways around tricking people, making her much more suited for diplomacy.
     
    Oh and @Christyking1980, the history's fine. Sure there are a few spelling mistakes, it's actually pretty good.

    A naive girl is deemed an outcast for using dishonorable tactics, heading out to the outside world to bring glory back to her clan no matter what the world happens to throw at her. While she's not exactly knowledgeable of the world, she makes up for it by being a giant fighter who likes to use her mind rather than her fists.

    All in all, a great character.

    Thanks, And about her size, she's roughly around between 16 and 21 feet tall meaning she is huge to us,while she a bit above average compare to other children of her race.
     
    Awesome, now let's get this vote train on the rails.

    Unless anyone has any other characters to suggest?
     
    So what kind of dice system will you be using in this game? Will you be using d100's or will this be based on the d20 system? Can you also give us some Infomation about the world this will be taking place in? Like what are the major kingdoms around here, how do diffent races treat each other? That kind of stuff.

    Click to expand...

    I will be using d20, as for the world it's fairly simple.

    You have five kingdoms, each ruled by a royal family. The first kingdom is Winter's Gate ruled by King Whitley, who has been recently left single after his wife's death of disease, and now he raises his daughter Schnee to take the throne someday.

    The next kingdom is Blackwood Falls, led by King Ashur and Queen Serana. Both are fair, yet they won't hesitate to end a fight should one start with them, making them a dangerous foe to take on. But they tend to keep to their own, and welcome outsiders with open arms.

    The third kingdom is Emerald Hollow, ruled by Queen Anna. Emerald Hollow's nature is quite pacifistic, possibly because of their isolation. They are wary of outsiders, but not to the point of hatred, rather curiosity. As for Queen Anna, she's a kind hearted Dryad looking to keep the peace between kingdoms.

    The Fourth Kingdom is actually a conglomerate of many different tribes on the fringes of society, with many different leaders taking council with each other when meetings or monthly reports were called. The tribes in questions are a majority of Dark Elves, Orcs, Harpies, Beastkin, and many more.

    As for the fifth, the Fifth Kingdom has been lost to time and sits a broken ruin. Unknown treasures lie within, but many of the cities guardians still remain very much functional. Only the brave or very foolish decide to try their luck here, with many never returning. The weapons they once wieled are still around, and in perfect condition despite being ages old.

    As for races, here's a little blurb about them.

    Elves come in many different forms, Dark Elves live within the confines of their desert villages, often giving travelers a show of magic or maybe a dance if they're lucky, as Dark Elf dancing is quite...Enticing. Wood Elves are masters of the hunt, and can track almost anything. High Elves, or Imperials, are natural practitioners of magic. But most of them have an inflated ego of themselves, and often clash with their kinsmen. Frost Elves live in the Winter's Gate Kingdom as hunter-gatherers, living off the land. They prefer to keep to themselves, and tend to leave should things go crazy. Orcs are a corrupted version of Elf, looking more akin to humans, except they're much stronger and are much kinder than those that give them a bad name.

    Beastkin are people with animal traits, such as ears, tails, or even personality. They are the most varied of the races and either love or hate humanity, depends on who you ask. Harpies are similar, but take after birds rather than animals. They tend to fly free and live a nomadic life, only stopping to breed like crazy at the Cliffside Nests. (Male Harpies exist.)

    Humans exist too, and their view depends on which kingdom you ask, or which person you ask, as they are varied.

    But while they're are races of flesh and blood, there are also ones created for general labor. But that doesn't mean they can't be people, as some develop bonds and act like a person would. Patchworks are made from cloth and tasked with menial labor, but some of their creators treat them with respect and care a parent would. Warforged are created for battle, but sometimes develop a conscience and a 'heart', either leaving the battlefield to pursue personal interests or to engage in other activities.

    Merfolk exist too, but they'd rather leave us alone as they prefer their Oceanside kingdoms.
     
    Okay so you are taking elements from Rwby, the Elder Scrolls and I think a little from the lord of the rings, Sounds interesting. Well anyway thank you answering my questions.
