[CLOSED at player request]Sharkinajar/Haaras Raddasten/TIEFLING AND WERECAT (ECL 3) plus Misrim
-
Name: Haaras Raddasten
Race: Tiefling (human) + Lycanthropy (werecat)
Faction: Misrim
Alignment: Neutral EvilBackground: Haraas had been a mixed blood for as long as he can remember- both his strange, tainted blood of his planar heritage, swirling with the tainted blood of being a lycan. It has led to an odd, out of place man. Haaras found someone like him, in his journeys. Sanura. He bonded as friend, someone as similar kind. Yet, she had her own direction of being a part of the House of Misrim in City of Arabel to follow Lady Islyn. After wrapping up things with his pack, Haaras begrudgingly chased after her to ensure that she would be safe.
When he arrived in Arabel, and found her already within House Misrim, Haaras could only join up as well, taking up the house colors and falling to their ways. Yet, he would do anything for those of his pack. Anything. He was a man not driven by laws or society- albeit no idiot, so he conforms, when necessary. But make no mistake, if harm befalls Sanura or any others of his kind, there will be hell to pay.Goals:
- Protect Sanura from harm, protect her secret.
- Having joined House Misrim, Haaras could possibly grow to find the House his new Pack. If not, he will simply be there to keep watch of his kind.
- Learn of other lycan presense within the city and outside of it
- Hunt the wretches that have turned their back upon lycans. Secretly work against the Hunter's Union to bring it down.
- Connect with Malarites within the forests, making deals between those of Nature and the House Misrim.
- Going to sate his more bestial nature in hunts and leaving offerings for such.
- Hunt those that have assaulted his pack before: the White Horde. slaying those enemies and letting their blood wet the sands in payment of the debt of blood they had made by hunting those that were with him when they had refused to join.

I thought Sanura has been with Islyn since she was a child?
Tiefling werecat just sounds... bizarre. Possible, I guess, but .. what is it like mechanically? -
Vote YES for Lycan/Tiefling
NO: for MisrimHe can make a Lycan. The goals he outlines are good enough to pass a Lycan app even in stringent times.
If he wishes to pursue Misrim he can start as a Bannerman and eig. This seems a BS app to me, one that he will abandon quickly with the ECL 3 or because he gets bored. If he proves me wrong and is awesome, then I don't see why we'd not let him join the faction.@Echo I thought Sanura has been with Islyn since she was a child?
That's what I recall from that app but Shark is just trying to wedge something in. I'd rather Cat explored and excelled in the faction without another Lycan crutch.

I would assume that the benefits and stats would stack. Not an issue with the ECL 3 though imo.

Is tiefling necessary or just a way to get more stats?

a way to get more stats
This most likely.
I'll vote yes for EITHER lycan OR tiefling, but not both.
EiG Misrim. It's not that hard to earn Rank 2. -
I'm fine with whatever. Keep in mind, ECL 3 will be a major hit and hardly worth a couple extra stats so the power creep is more than compensated. For example, where a non ECL would get 80 xp for defeating a CR 6 creature, an ECL 3 would get 30. Scaling XP means that starting at level 4(7) the pc gets only 50% from kills. At level 5(8) the pc only gets 10% from kills and from level 6+ the only xp the pc would get is from quest completion and DM Xp.

ECL 3 sucks, so their weird choice. Conf?
-
eh, whatever.
I give it 2 weeks. -

tl;dr
Spoke some more with Shark. He has decided to not do this. Going Aasimar and zealotish Paladin type.[4:37 PM] sharkinajar: ... I totally forgot to put a class on it. I'll probably do ranger. Don't really think anything else fits as much.
[4:47 PM] sharkinajar: if it don't pass, I may try to do something a little different and play a villain.
[4:47 PM] sharkinajar: get some player conflict going
[5:17 PM] Professor Misclick: Frankly, I'd rather you did "something a little different and play a villain"
[5:18 PM] Professor Misclick: What did you have in mind?
[5:18 PM] sharkinajar: I could. be hard to do one without support, however.
[5:18 PM] sharkinajar: Don't know if there's support for being an orc
[5:18 PM] Professor Misclick: Well, can't be a full orc but there is the entire White Hoard thing.(edited)
[5:19 PM] Professor Misclick: Horde
[5:19 PM] sharkinajar: yeah. I would be down for pushing the horde.
[5:19 PM] sharkinajar: I mean...
[5:19 PM] Professor Misclick: And I am starting to run events around that again
[5:19 PM] sharkinajar: We cooouuuld do a pseudo-orc.
[5:19 PM] sharkinajar:
[5:19 PM] Professor Misclick: Come up with some interesting goals and we can see about the rest?
[5:19 PM] sharkinajar: it'd be probably pretty tough to be solo riding like that, though... ponders Doable.
[5:20 PM] sharkinajar: I was gonna make a toon for one of spiffy's villains
[5:20 PM] sharkinajar: but issue is
[5:20 PM] sharkinajar: Spiffy just isn't around ever
[5:20 PM] sharkinajar: XD
[5:20 PM] Professor Misclick: Only if you are open about it. You could do an traitor in the ranks type?
[5:20 PM] Professor Misclick: Err... phone and typing sucks.....
[5:21 PM] Professor Misclick: I think you will get VERY frustrated with an ECL 3 character in short order
[5:21 PM] Professor Misclick: I know I would.
[5:21 PM] sharkinajar: XD
[5:21 PM] sharkinajar: eh
[5:21 PM] sharkinajar: I'd manage it
[5:21 PM] sharkinajar: thing is i'd never die haha
[5:21 PM] sharkinajar: but yeah, could just be slow-going.
[5:21 PM] sharkinajar: Could do a traitor type in the ranks.
[5:21 PM] sharkinajar: an obyn fanboy, perhaps?
[5:21 PM] Professor Misclick: That would work well for sure
[5:22 PM] sharkinajar: however, I'm pretty ass at that kind of RP
[5:22 PM] sharkinajar: I'm more of a smash people in the face/very open villain kind of person
[5:22 PM] sharkinajar: I'm not much for political maneuvering/intrigue
[5:22 PM] Professor Misclick: That's a real hard sell right now with the lower numbers.
[5:22 PM] sharkinajar: aye
[5:23 PM] sharkinajar: which is why playing a villain isn't much a good fit right now.
[5:23 PM] sharkinajar: blegh
[5:23 PM] sharkinajar: I just wish this plot was finished already XD
[5:23 PM] Professor Misclick: Working on it.
[5:23 PM] sharkinajar: aye..
[5:23 PM] Professor Misclick: Then I have some ideas for new factions
[5:23 PM] sharkinajar: Please. we need a faction reboot
[5:23 PM] Professor Misclick: Revamped existing factions depending on player actions etc.
[5:23 PM] sharkinajar: Embassies closed
[5:23 PM] sharkinajar: reworking or completely replacing the current ones
[5:24 PM] Professor Misclick: But if you just wanted to be part of some of the fun and see where things go, you can make a character and join up/tag along with the others on this plot.
[5:24 PM] Professor Misclick: Gives you time to come up with what you want to do next or perhaps something will present itself along the way?
[5:25 PM] sharkinajar: That's why I was gonna join Cat for a duo!
[5:25 PM] sharkinajar: if I want to just tag along I could just continue with my dwarf
[5:26 PM] Professor Misclick: Up to you.
[5:26 PM] sharkinajar: plus we could go a bit antagonistic
[5:26 PM] sharkinajar: without going full on villain
[5:26 PM] sharkinajar: thanks to lycan/feralness
[5:27 PM] sharkinajar: and piss off some vaylans something fierce
[5:27 PM] sharkinajar: why I was thinking something like that would be fun to do- albeit a bit slow thanks to the ECL, but hey I'll manage.
[5:27 PM] Professor Misclick: See that's not what Cat is going for at all.
[5:27 PM] sharkinajar: she's an islyn fangirl
[5:28 PM] sharkinajar: but said that she'd be pretty uncaring about anything else
[5:28 PM] sharkinajar: My guy would essentially be her "watcher" of a sort
[5:28 PM] sharkinajar: and easily piss off some others.
[5:28 PM] sharkinajar: Especially with fiendish heritage on top of it.
[5:28 PM] Professor Misclick: Ok. Have at it.
[5:28 PM] Professor Misclick: Not here to talk you in or out of anything
[5:28 PM] Professor Misclick: We'll wait for the rest of the team votes.
[5:28 PM] sharkinajar: oh! thought ya kinda were haha
[5:29 PM] sharkinajar: no worries.
[5:29 PM] sharkinajar: I mean, if there was some other opportunity, I'll take it
[5:29 PM] sharkinajar: But right now it's just super hard to shake things up / stir things up.
[5:29 PM] sharkinajar: shakes fist at white horde
[5:30 PM] sharkinajar: OR
[5:30 PM] sharkinajar: I could do a paladin
[5:30 PM] sharkinajar: That'd piss so many people off.
[5:30 PM] Professor Misclick: There is an invasion underway. A civil war inside a noble house. A fragile council system
[5:31 PM] Professor Misclick: All that you need to do is to come up with a something to use in that framework to shake things up
[5:31 PM] sharkinajar: Yeah, but the white horde is awful in that it's power level is absurd compared to everything else
[5:31 PM] Professor Misclick: Says who?
[5:31 PM] sharkinajar: so it makes any other threats negligible
[5:31 PM] sharkinajar: Hundreds to thousands of orcs/goblins/kobolds
[5:31 PM] Professor Misclick: Oh, that
[5:31 PM] sharkinajar: vs 8 level 6-10 pcs.
[5:31 PM] sharkinajar: Yeah
[5:31 PM] sharkinajar: XD
[5:31 PM] Professor Misclick: Hold on though
[5:32 PM] Professor Misclick: There are hundreds to thousands of mercenaries out there fighting the Horde as well
[5:33 PM] Professor Misclick: If you don't like the plot and don't want to play that's fine. But there is nothing wrong with this plot and regardless of any plot, there is always a way to make excuses for why something sucks. -
