New Player finishing up my character, probably badly.

Not to worry! If you would like any help, I'm sure we could help. When you're ready, I look forward to learning more.

Oh do we have a second priestess? That's cool.

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?
Maybe "Auntie" is more of a nickname or polite ribbing? If Kalafein is the son of one of the Matron Mother's wives, technically they would be more like cousins than anything. Maybe they were raised together?

I would like some backstory ties!
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!
🤔 Street kid huh? Maybe Ryo and T'rissae did some "breaking curfew" at T'rissae's insisting, to see what the streets are like. I do like the "slave" male companion idea too. She may also have pestered him with questions about the surface world.

Kalafein is the grandson of the Matron Mother's wife Amethyst. My character is a generation younger than yours, if I recall correctly. Perhaps I misjudged how "young" to make my character, but I think we can make this work.

I mean I can always bump my characters age up to around 200, I don't really have a firm date that I'm going to stick too. Definitely not going to go any higher than that though, Elves are considered adult at 100 and the Matron Mother's may be old but most elves max out at 750.

Yes, this came to mind as a potential issue. Though I suppose it doesn't matter all that much. Suffice to say your character is a bit older than mine. I mean, my RL uncle is 13 years older than me and I'm 10 years older than my sister. Lol

Lol, royalty slumming with the plebs? Sure, I'm game for that.

Emerald basically moulded him to be one of her agents though, so there's always the possibility that he was sent on a mission to trail her or be a bodyguard or something along those lines. Might even be that he was given the assignment because Emerald knew he'd snuck T'rissae out in the past. Maybe Bor came along as well, get two connections for the price of one.

@Ysolde I added a "Motivation" section in my sheet to explain a bit more why Ryo’fein’s entire drive is to lift up House Platin. No matter his actions, that underlying drive should shine through in everything he does.

Considering that the Matron Mother and her wives are 1,000+ years old it's very likely that some aunts and uncles are older than their nieces and nephews.

Unless there is an RP reason not to, at least take a Dungeon pack or the like for utility stuff. If you have extra cast, a good book will give you +5 to an INT skill check if it's within the book's scope. My character has one on the Outer Planes (Abyssal, Celestial, etc.) in case (when) we run into stuff from there.

The House Insignia is an extra item. You get to choose 5 other items, so I think you can pick 2 more.

A question about carrying gear. I took (100) +1 arrows as one of my magic items. Carrying 20 in a quiver on my back, 20 more in a quiver on my hip, and 60 are bundled and attached to outside my backpack. Is that feasible?

Attached in a carrying case or the like and with 100 we won’t worry about tallying it off each time you shoot.
