Speaking of character sheets. I can't see anyone else's. I wonder if that's an issue with the browser I use (Brave).
Maybe? I’m able to view all the public ones.

Anyone else wanting some character/backstory ties?
I would like some backstory ties!

Reading the information available, T'rissae will be High Priestess Silveria's second daughter and (I imagine) fairly young. Somewhere between 120 and 190 perhaps.

This is an open invitation, just stating 😁

If Kal's "Auntie" is less than 200, then it would be weird for him to be older, but maybe that's just a human perspective on an elven life.

I was thinking that with wizards studies taking time, Kalafein would be a tad older than one would normally start an elf. 175, maybe?

Oh I almost forgot. @Synaptic have Narcaere and Kalafein discussed their infernal experience commonality, or do we let that be discovered during the game? I see Kal as adhering to Drow societal norms outside the House and not associating with non-drow in public for fear of being found out of his true patronage.

Do you want to be enemies? The family of the priestess I helped that brought me into the house all blame me for her death from her injuries. It would give us a starting place to grow and change from. Or, if friends, her acolyte was there and saw that I helped so she is on my side but the enemy plotline would probably be more interesting, especially if we've never met and all you have heard is family gossip and hearsay.

Can everyone make sure that their background is on their character sheet?

I need to make sure I can grab any rivals or allies and use them....appropriately.....

I’ve updated mine, including a rival from another House.
Hoping my write-up is ok. I’ve been a bit busy work wise today, but caught some time to write a bit. I don’t want to hold us up.
Hope everyone’s well today.

Background (basically) added. Getting things fleshed out today. Melee Magthere definitely seems the best fit for us!
Oh man, if we were friends at Melee Magthere, and you lost your tongue to a Baenre, I think Ryo would be carrying some deep guilt. For one thing, he was tormented by a Baenre during his entire time at MM. For another, he survived the mutilation attempt on him by his Baenre Rival due to his ally’s (and other friends’) help. If Bor lost his tongue that way, Ryo would feel very much guilty that he wasn’t there. We would have reasons to hate the Baenre’s even more so than the usual Platins, since we went through years being tormented.

Hello buffer/healer cleric, you shall be my bestiest-bestie-please-keep-me-alive-bestie-mcbestie.

I’m not sure what we have in common though, as Ryo is a lowly street kid. Might have to be something where he was on a mission, maybe to fetch something from a dangerous place on your behalf? Or better yet, travel together as a "slave" male companion? Being a noble, I imagine something like that could have happened.

Not sure your backstory though, but I’m open to any ideas!

Yes! We’ll get those Baenre’s, if it’s the last thing we do! (Waves ugly fist in air) LOL

Here's the draft I wrote up on my sheet for how we know one another:
A fellow student at famed Melee Magthere, Bor was an outcast like the rest of the non-drow. Just as he did with other outcasts, Ryo'fein struck up a friendship with Bor, as most of the misfits tended to look out for one another. Unfortunately, when Bor was mutilated by a Baenre student, all his friends were too late to the scene. Ryo'fein still carries that guilt with him to this day, and their hatred for House Baenre goes beyond House rivalries.

That’s perfect!

I made Kalafein Lawful Neutral to reflect his acceptance of how things are. People may have said the yuan-ti was responsible for the death of a priestess of my House, but Matron Mother Platin accepted the warlock and that is good enough for Kal. He's meddlesome, so I like to think he knows at least something about everyone in his House. How social is Shaojiao or "Burny"? Being a warlock, I imagine Kal has reached out at least once to learn about the yuan-ti's difference arcane magic.

Think sulky, damaged teen girl (at least to an elf), young woman to anyone else. However, she's been around long enough to work her way up to 10th level so if you reach out to everyone, we certainly would have talked and if you didn't treat her like street trash, she'd have positive feelings toward you.

Kalafein is respectful, especially to everyone in House Platin, but he is a bit standoff-ish. He is interested in the facts, not heresay. He might have judged Burmy as dour and merely inquired on the nature of her magic and patron only. He has worked to build a reputation as one who is dependable.
Sep 11, 2025 11:26 pm
Standoffish she can handle, touchy feely huggers give her the creeps even with the best intentions.

Oh! Then we'll wear "no touchy" signs together XD

What does Shaojiao look like? I thought yuan-ti have like a snake body?

I'm still open to anyone else who wants some backstory ties! Just lemme know what your backstory is. Ryo'fein's backstory is in his character sheet, which anyone in here can see.

Rolls

Madness Roll - (1d100)

(82) = 82

Purebloods look very human, bar the rash of scales. She wears her hair on the side with scales to cover them, btw. She usually goes by Burny.

Appearance: Slim and dark with one half of her head shaved and the other half worn long in a plait as well as piercings and multiple earrings on the shaven side. Inexpertly done tattoos and heavy boots complete the image.

I don't see anything else about your character. I'm curious to find out who is Silver.
