    Alright, I present Dakketh Mulbari, Githzerai Monk:

    Picture:
    Gith_450.jpg
    Background:
    Dakketh Mulbari was a member of the Hidden Storm temple, a monk school in the Astral Sea. Raised from birth, he was taught of the superiority of mental and physical perfection, the ultimate goal of which is to turn oneself into both weapon and wielder. Once he became competent in the Hidden Storm' teachings, Dakketh joined a war band to further test his skills. His time in the band did not last long - their first battle was against a githyanki pirate crew, a battle which did not go well. His band was killed and Dakketh himself captured. Dakketh was sold into gladiatorial slavery - ironically, Dakketh is not bitter for this presents him with a perfect way of testing his skills against worthy foes.
    Personality:
    Dakketh is calm and meditative, not saying much except when important. He is keenly observant, and one always feels like they are being sized-up when in his presence. His respect is not easily earned, but once it is it will rarely be broken. In combat, Dakketh is a blur of motion, striking with quick, sharp open-hand blows, picking at key weaknesses and pressure points before dodging away from retaliation.

    Baelin Steelhand, Dwarf Invoker

    http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=199075

    Stats roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2473560/ (somehow I managed to lose my orokos password already!)

    Appearance / Mannerisms
    Baelin is an average sized, slightly overweight dwarf. He wears a chain shirt and carries a staff as tall as he is.

    He has the look of someone who is not afraid of death, though he does not seek it. As a servant of the Raven Queen he recognizes that death is not evil, simply the end. Like most dwarves, Baelin is very loyal to those he considers friends and an implacable foe to his enemies.

    Background
    Baelin lived an uneventful life until very recently. He was a loner as a child (early life - isolated background), always more interested in books than physical activity. He was a scholar and, while not particularly religous, studied the gods extensively. After years of research he began to feel an affinity for the Raven Queen and decided to become her servant using a ritual he had discovered in an ancient tome. One year ago, Baelin completed the ritual and offered his service to the Raven Queen. Perhaps she was amused at the sight of a dwarf offering his services, perhaps she has a greater plan, but for whatever reason, she granted him a small fragment of her power to use and commanded him to see that the world proceeds according to her wishes.

    After running out of money on his latest journey, Baelin was forced to steal supplies as he went in order to survive. Unfortunately Baelin is an extremely clumsy dwarf and couldn't sneak past the dead if he tried. He was eventually caught and thrown into the local prison two months ago. Hearing the guards talking about uncoming fights for the king, Baelin wonders if he could arrange to be set free if he fights, he cannot serve the Raven Queen in prison and she has plans in motion.



    I'll make this my main entry, there's a ton of pure strikers already and invokers can be lots of fun.

    I'll put character pics up in a little while.

    Odunn, Human Seeker

    Background
    Odunn was born in the forest, his parents being nature-loving, Melora-worshipping hippies. They lived in an isolated cabin in the woods several days journey from the village of Glenview, foraging and hunting for their food. While Odunn would occasionally venture into the village with his parents when they went to trade, the village and the villagefolk remained but a point of interest to him, and the forest remained the only home he could conceive of having. So time passed, until Odunn was the only remaining inhabitant of that log cabin out in the woods, and in his age, he began feeling the same connection to Melora that his parents had preached to him, one he had never felt. The forest became ever more vibrant, the wilderness even more welcoming, but still, Odunn found himself making more frequent trips into the village, if only to silently enjoy the company of other humans.

    One day however, by a river far from his cabin, Odunn was accosted by men armed with swords, armor and shields emblazoned with the crest of a horse. He was trespassing, said they, in the lands of Lord Farquaad, and furthermore, he was a poacher, a thief, and a despoiler of nature. He was arrested on the spot, thrown away in a stone cell, until...

    Personality/Appearance
    Odunn is a tall, lean man, with wildly unkempt brown hair. The leathers he wore are worn and tattered, partially due to their age but moreso due to his recent treatment. His dark eyes are cold and dull; he languishes in his captivity, trapped within cold, dark walls.

    Odunn is the silent type, never having quite mastered the skill of small talk. He sees the world mostly in terms of need and response, with little understanding of power or ambition. He is not emotionless, though his emotions are not usually apparent, having never had the need to express them to strangers.

    Seeing a lack of defenders, I thought I would submit an alternate character. Of course, I would be happy to play either one, depending on what you feel is appropriate.

    Meet Azatlim, the Shifter Paladin. http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=199276
    Standard 22-point buy for stats

    Background
    Azatlim lived as a scavenger and hunter in the wild for years before meeting a group of elves who sought to "civilize" him. Azatlim did not take kindly to their attempts at instilling him with culture, but he immediately found an affinity with the god the elves called Melora. To Azatlim, Melora is the manifestation of his inner heart and soul within the wilderness. Azatlim has since returned to his wild life, but with a new calling to preserve the wild in its natural, rugged state under guidance of Melora. Unfortunately for Azatlim, he treated the next group of elves he met with a degree of civility he normally would not have shown. Unfortunate indeed that these elves trapped him and sold him for slavery. Azatlim waits in the dungeons, biding his time and anger, ready to lash out at the first opportunity of escape.

    Appearance
    Azatlim has a air about him that screams hunger. His long brown hair is kept unkempt, and his face has several scars along his forehead and chin. His black eyes radiate the beast within that longs to break free. He has a muscular frame with a wiry build.

    Personality Traits
    Ferocious, Wild, Cunning, Aggressive

    Ok, there were a lot of neat characters there, and I hate to leave anyone out, but an 11 character game might get a little tough. :)

    The good news is, there are enough people for 2 games, if you guys are interested. Here's the breakdown I have currently:

    Team 1:
    Quidam - Human Psion
    Phyphor - Dwarf Invoker
    Brody - Goliath Warden
    Waik - Human Cleric
    Sakutian - Hobgoblin Barbarian
    Dresdenphile - Changeling Assassin

    Team A:
    Fogrob - Eladrin Wizard
    Hippofant - Human Seeker
    Zombie Hero - Goblin Warlord
    Mundane Soul - Minotaur Barbarian
    Tzeentchling - Githzerai Monk


    I'll be putting together the OPs and setting the stage tonight, and we should be able to get started on this once I have those up.

    And these are going to be two games running simultaneously. I'll specify on the thread title which is which. [DnD 4E PbP] The Gladiators T1 and [DnD 4E PbP] The Gladiators TA. Going to start working on the OPs during my next break at work.

    But really probably more like
    minotaur.jpg

    Oh, did I forget to post my background for Canderus?

    Here's that!
    Canderus is a young minotaur still seeking to understand the beast within. He has spent most of his life believing that the bestial urges within are something to be tamed and controlled, as he was taught by his parents, civilized minotaurs who had been accepted as valuable members of a human community. His father, a blacksmith, taught him the basics of defending himself with an axe and spent much of his youth encouraging him to seek control over the impulses within him.
    However, in the past several years, since leaving his home to travel the world and seek adventure, Canderus has come to understand that there is a much power within him when he gives into the Beast, letting rage overrun his senses and take control. His bestial wrath has gotten him out of more than a few sticky situations on the road, and he's come to respect the potential it unlocks within him.
    Will Canderus' bestial nature overwhelm him...or will he transcend and become something more?
    Only time will tell...

    We don't have a defender, and there are certainly better healers than my goblin warlord. Of course, i if i could bring in help from the goblin fighter brigade (may or may not actually exist), we could even things up.

    I will say that I can see at least three different ways this campaign can end, and they are up to you. Perhaps you will even come to an ending I'm not even thinking of right now.

    If you have a particular picture for your character you want me to use for your token, please post it here or PM it to me. I'll just be using the head on the tokens, so keep that in mind. I'll just be using what I can find in the meantime and they can be swapped out if you have a different one you prefer.
