Skaroq, a male half-orc sorcerer. He, unlike most half-orcs, is extremely smart and sophisticated. He's kind to most good things, and is a valuable ally in a battle with big groups of armored foes.
Kruttle the Vicious, a male halfling barbarian. He is very vicious(hence his name), and will slaughter five ogres just for fun. He frequently says things like, "SEE HOW I KICK YOUR ****ING ***?! DO YOU SEE IT?! YOUR GRANNY'S FAT *** IS HARDER TO KICK, YOU ****FACED ****!" and "WOO YEAH!!! I AM A SEXY GOD OF WAR!"
Bones, a male human fighter awakened skeleton. He annoys people a lot, but he plays the xylobone like a master pro.
Arvius, a female elf bard. She has a very fun-loving personality, and she is one helluva dancer!
So do you like my characters and do you think they would do well together? Comments welcome!

07-21-07, 06:11 PM That halfling sounds like the worst kind of Chaotic Evil.
I don't envision him fitting in very well with any group...unless you play him less like an unreasonable psychopath and more like Belkar from OotS (yes, I'm aware of the small difference).

Yeah, he's an unreasonable psychopath. I based him off of Belkar from OotS. He's CN, though.

07-21-07, 10:05 PM The halfling is more unbelievable than the half-orc.

Orcs just aren't *usually* intelligent enough to lead sophisticated lives, but this one orc just happened to beat genetics. Still, I think you need a personality quirk. He's still got orc blood; how does he deal with the prejudice he's bound to encounter in most cities?

But a halfling - if he was raised halfling, I just don't see how halfling culture could have spawned such a demon.

Bones sounds like a riot.

Maybe you should look elsewhere for inspiration on a crazy halfling, because ripping off OotS is not original nor would anyone find it funny.

Oh and CN is not a good excuse for being evil and being able to dodge detect evil.

I know far too many people that would disagree with this statement.

Also, in response to the CN thing in general: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

07-22-07, 05:41 PM That test said that I'm CN IRL. How creepy is that?

07-23-07, 12:00 PM Yeah, he's an unreasonable psychopath. I based him off of Belkar from OotS. He's CN, though.

/facepalm

I do love the idea of Bones - though I would go by a different name because "Bones" makes me think of Star Trek.

As an aside, I had a 2nd edition Death Master who had a skeleton named "McCoy".

Your description of Arvius is a bit vague, though I'm assuming she has max ranks in Perform (Dance) ;)

Skaroq strikes me as a great cross-type character.

Bones would be great fun in a light-hearted campaign.

The halfling, however, is not "based" off Belkar. He IS Belkar, which is barely a step above a good-aligned drow ranger using two scimitars...
