Re: Wicked Age
You're in Alpacalypse.
Okay. Players are:
Alpacalypse - Raider Lieutenant
Raptor Jesus - Mage from the tower
Archer - Raider Chieftain
xivvix - Slave Girl of the Silver Tower
tentanarix - Enchantress returning home
cross grave - Mage from the Silver Tower
Extended List, factoring in that there are mages that dwell within the tower, and my own thoughts about the town and such. Remember that this is an ancient and wicked age - like the Age of Conan - life is simple and savage, and sorceries are often wicked and at great cost.
Leader of the Mage Order
Mage - played by Raptor Jesus
Other Mages
Servants/Slaves of the Mage Order
Enchantress (exiled from the Order)
Unwitting Husband
Serpent Demoness
Raider Chieftain
Raider Lieutenant - played by The Alpacalypse
Other Raiders
Other Town Inhabitants
Prisoners of the Raiders
-----
@RJ and Alpacalypse: If you're satisfied with your choice then please write down a character sheet with the following format. You have a d12, d10, d8, two d6s, and a d4 to assign to the six Forms (the word the rules use in place of attributes. =P)
For a particular strength, you need to give it a name, describe what it does, describe the restrictions on it (ie: spells might require expensive components or a sacrifice or a time consuming ritual), describe what Form must be used with (ie Covertly, With Love, etc), give it a Signficance (it will be level 1, so only one significance), and finally report its die (it will be a d8 unless you gave it Potent signficance, in which case it will be a d10).
Name (Something suitable to the ancient times. The book comes with a list of ancient Babylonian names which the NPCs will be heavily taking from.)

I'll be the Second-in-Command of the raiders. (Or, if there are multiple Raider Lieutenants, one of those.)

Particular Strength: Halrikk's Bow. An excellent archer in his own right, Halrikk found this longbow on one of the raider's many forays. Possesses a minor enchantment increasing the bow's accuracy. Requires: A supply of arrows and the capability to hold and fire the bow. Form: With Violence. Significance: Broad (Directly). Die type: d8.

We determine Best Interests once all characters are created, yes? So, did I do it correctly?

Re: Wicked Age
Note that there isn't any reason why some roles couldn't be combined. The Lieutenant of the Raiders could also be the Unwitting Husband for example.
Edit: Yes Alpacalypse, that is more or less correct. And we will only start the Best Interest Round Robin once all PCs and NPCs have been named and assigned forms and strengths. Please add to the end of the Form section of your strength the following addendum: "For NPCs it's good for Action."
On second thought, since it's requiring Halrikk's Bow, I'm going to suggest you call your character's particular strength "Halrikk's Bow" and the restrictions are that you must have arrows and the capability to hold and fire with it. This renaming is more suggestive of the bow's excellent quality and Halrikk's familiarity with it - and also better because not all archery in the world should require possession of Halrikk's bow.

Re: Wicked Age
Just a few things, first, try to keep to the plot points. Don't bend them to what you want them to be. A husband means a man, so even though the serpent demoness could have a female lover on the side, it would be a different character from the husband. These chapters will run together like a collection of short stories, with a few reoccuring characters coming in and out of them. You don't need to get too attached to any one concept.
Second, don't think that you have to "know" your characters at this point. It's really much better if you don't concoct any motivations for them right now, because even their motivations may be much different from their best interests. ((Taking my desert cult priestess example from earlier, even though it's in her best interest to marry the tyrant's son, she may actually fancy another cultist, or despise the tyrant's son, and act in such a manner.))

Re: Wicked Age
Okay, now that prelimnary ideas are in, I'd like to ask a few things - two PCs are playing the same concept (ie, greenhorn mages), are you sure that there isn't another concept that appeals to one of you? It's okay if not.
Alpacaplypse, would you mind if your lieutenant is also the unwitting husband? I'd like for there to be a PC representing either the husband or the serpent demoness. Being the husband shouldn't mess up your character concept too much, it would just put him into a unique situation. Again, it's okay if you don't feel like it.
I will start forming a master NPC list, and I will rewrite and post your PC sheets together for ease of perusal. I will also form a master list of particular strengths, so that everyone will be able to see what those do at a glance.
I would like to be able to do all this in an official subforum for this game. Who do I have to offer virgin sacrifices to in order to get that?

Re: Wicked Age
I do realize I'm kinda playing copycat here, but I've decided that this option looks most promising. And seeing that RJ went with a healer, I tried to make a character who is more or less the opposite of his character.
