I just read through the old "partytime partytime thread" and so many memories of these great RP-sessions came back that I just HAD to bump this thread. Come on folks join in on the fun, we need to get this started!
Edit: A few random ideas for a theme
1) Varanite loyalists from old Varana
2) A group of young Dasarians who secretly hate the empire and plot against it
3) A group of travelling gypsies, bringing the circus to town (good or bad, both would work)
Sadly, I don't think I could stand trying to level another character without going the rest of the path to insanity, not to mention a lack of time, so being unable to commit to a regular meeting.
However, some ideas:
Group of Rianians, could be from different areas (A Scholar of the Naithe, Borderguard and Druid for example).
Group of Exodians, I don't think anyone has really fleshed them out, but they apparently live as they have gladiators.
Group of Dusericians, Outcasts of Varana, could hate the Empire, could be heretics (Of Canas), survivors of the purge, could be one of the blinded slaves or what not.
Group of normal folk (commoners, Farmers etc) with no real reason to become adventurers, other then being forced into it by Canas' forces, with only their father's sword and shield to defend themselves for example..
Sir Hyel Loremaster- Knight of Argentum Vigilo, Archmage of Ordo Magica , Slayer of Zumen the Winged Death, & Head Librarian of the Great Library of Cear- Captain Firin- Korangar "The Wall" - Lucian Rhaz - & Glanin Redleafe.

Yeah I'm not starting one from scratch again either.
But to give them ideas above an upgrade:
Have the outcasts form a hippie commun living off the land growing vast amounts of erhm hemp making their houses and clothes out of it and once they had a surplus of hemp they could grow it into something more fun
You group of normal folk could be the farmers etc of Lendose whom largely ignored the war until it arrived on their doorstep and their local Pub was slightly damaged by Zumen forcing them to pick up arms to defend their Pub.

I quite like the idea of "normal" people, farmers and the likes who get pressed into the life of adventurers against their own will. This would also leave maximum freedom for character creation. Want to be for/against the empire? A goody-good fella or a mean evil spirited bastard? Worship Lochwar, Ineania, Ruath or one of the outlawed gods in secret? It's all possible this way. And most important, it still gives the PCs a reason to band together despite all the differences that might occur.
Come on people don't miss out on the fun. I've been in two such weekly groups already, and I've had some of the most memorable RP-moments there. Anyone who's still interested Bump this thread with me. I shall go first:
No sign of Namariel or Adjanah. I wouldn't mind fleshing out Exodians. Maybe even do evil mercenaries. Tyrakians? I would like to do some evil stuff, but I'm not too religiousy.
