World:

  • The Old World - THIS is the Old World and WE have always been here. The Others are from a place that they call the Old World, and ours is the place they call the New. 
  • Iron - WE are the iron in the hills. The weather is bleak. Rain and wind sweep in from the ocean. The winters are long and bitter. One of the Others said of their kind, "Only those made of iron dare live in this foul place". They said this of themselves, thinking they were strong, but they did not think that we dwelt here since the beginning. 
  • Legacies: The Others are not the first. The First Others came and were broken. These new Others think WE are the same as the First Others and call all of us the Broken. Some of them will become Broken, some of them will become us. As it always has been.

Background: 

Danton has had a hard life as the weakest member of his clan but has vowed to prove his mettle - both to the three shield brothers who have stood by his side and to spit in the faces of all those who have spat upon him. He has a Broken name, and no one allows him to forget it.

Commentary:

This is a new character, stats, location, descriptors, and name randomly generated. After that I selected the vows, bonds, and assets which I thought fit the rest. Completing the world truths was taking a while so I stopped as this much gives his clan enough identity to play from.

Avran the Barbarian (OSE-A)

2025 Character Creation Challenge Back to the character list. Name: Avran Class: Barbarian Level: 1 Title: None. He eschews any such affectation, as he knows he is ignorant of the world and has yet to prove his mettle through any great feats. Alignment: Chaotic Languages: Chaotic AL, Common Story So Far: Before leaving his community, Avran worked on the small farm of a relative in his clan's territories while others were away raiding, feuding, or working as sell swords to foreign potentates. None of it, not the fighting, the farming, or any other option available to the youth, held any interest or value. Thus, after wondering for years as each boat left for foreign shores, he decided to seek something, anything, that could stir his heart, his courage, his blood, in any way.  Ability Scores: Strength: 14 Intelligence: 8 Wisdom: 9 Dexterity: 11 Constitution: 10 Charisma: 6 (max retainers = 3, loyalty = 6) Saving Throws: Death/Poison: 10 Magic Wands: 13 Paralysis/Petrifica...

Merrit Alban Beech, Half-Living (Dead Reign, Palladium Books)

Back to the character list Startlingly tall, skinny, pale, cool skin, Merritt appears as though he just died and no one bothered to tell him he shouldn't be walking around. Some wiseacres have said he looks a lot better now than he did in the office. Merritt's memories of before near-death are still there, but he doesn't remember being what you'd call happy. There are no moments he can point to and say, there, that was when he felt joy. But he's not sure if he's unhappy now or preferred whatever living hell he was consigned to previously. He does know that he feels a visceral terror thinking about the other side of near-death or that anyone would become like him or complete the passage, so that's what he dedicates himself to preventing. Never offer Merritt a cup of Java.  Characteristics: Sex: Male-ish, he's not alive and not dead, sex is kind of a moot point, a philosophical issue perhaps, but largely irrelevant to Merritt at this point. Age: 34 Height:...
