Oh! Yes, Brude the Battler and I fought many a battle together against those who would be pirates had we not battled them. I learned to pilot beside him, I did. Youbdi taught me much about the stars, but it was Brude that helped me when those lessons did not make sense. Youbdi was not a very good teacher, I do not think.

You are right, Youbdi was not a good or patient teacher. I do not miss him and was a little happy when I left his service. I now sail with Captain Ason of the Rosy Fingered Dawn. He is  Hellene and a very good captain. I know he could use a strong back and a well proportioned pair of arms on his ship. You should contact him.

I like Brude. I like roses. I have fingers. The dawn comes every day. It is destined! I will speak with this Ason and offer my might.

LOL! Brude and I worked out a history with Ason. We can definitely work Fernao into it.

Hey hey... while my mind is on it:

Disadvantages:
Relationship: 1 - an Enemy that I stole an artifact from (another PCs Relationship Disad)
Who's someone you guys hate?
Internal: 2 - Code of Conduct, I'm a consecrated priest of Olukun.
I'm sure none of this will get any of us into trouble!

•   Take time to learn and understand what you can.
•   Prostrate yourself before a pool of water and sing Olukun's praise.
•   On the night of the full moon, bathe in waters that hold the image of the moon.
•   Never willingly withhold knowledge

External: 2 - Being a Fugitive. I'm on the run from the law in Ophir and haven't gone back.
This one might change, but for right now, I'm a wanted man... er, wolf.

Fernao hates his uncle Teao the Talker. My uncle is a Tauran with a silver tongue. Because I am a kind Tauran I would like to rip it out of his head not only to save the others of my family who have felt its awful caress, but to save my poor uncle from the pain that having a silver tongue must cause him.

So Thamyron is an Atlantean sorcerer getting ready to try to run down his enemy, Ahmes Ahmose from fighting with the Minoans who has kidnapped his lover.

So it would make sense that Brude and Thamyron know each other, since we have an enemy and war in common.

More details to come.

OK, so...

Right now, Thamryon and Brude both fought against Ahmes Ahmose, and Brude and Fernao both sailed under Sorat Youbdi.

And possibly we're all going to sign on with Ason to get us out of Atlantis!

And have to work this out but Thamyron has an enemy (Ahmose?) who has taken his lover captive.

Life paths of the most important NPC's

Alembos:
1. Lifepath Scholar, 5 years, Scholar special: During your studies at a temple, you spoke to what you believe was a god. He/She told
you things that expanded your consciousness to the far corners of the universe.
2. Lifepath Scholar, 5 years, Tradegy: Left arm ruined in battle
3. Lifepath Scholar, 5 years, Enemy: A Son or Daughter that you never knew you had
4. Lifepath Scholar, 5 year, Scholarly Pursuits: Was allowed to study for a week at the great library in Ophir.
5. Lifepath Scholar, 5 year, Scholarly Pursuits: Witnessed the universe through the eyes of a dying Jinn. This experience changed your
view of the universe and now you seek some truth you glimpsed.

Ason:
1. Lifepath Sailor, 4 years, Battle: Fought in the slave pits of Yallock and won your freedom after a year of slavery.
2. Lifepath Sailor, 4 years, Battle: Dueled the pirate queen, Zenobia and lost 4 fingers on your left hand. So pleased with
the feat, she wears them on a necklace around her neck. She seeks to complete the set.
3. Lifepath Sailor, 4 years, Battle: Fought pirates in the Saharan Sea. During the melee, you threw a spear through ten
men…or at least that’s how the story goes.
4. Lifepath Sailor, 1 year, Tragedy: Sold into slavery where you toiled for years (double the time spent) and branded on your
face as a slave.
5. Lifepath Sailor, 1 year, Sailor Special:You have traveled the entire world twice over.

Koryos:
1. Lifepath Warrior, 4 years, Spent times guarding a famous ambassador.
2. Lifepath Warrior, 4 years, Scholarly pursuits: Wrote a great poem to a romantic relationship that became famous in your local area.  You have met and married the person of your dreams.  A god is jealous of the love you have and curses the lover to be a horribly disfigured beast.
3. Lifepath Warrior, 3 years, Battle: You placed second in the gladiatorial games of Tamaonchan. +5 Renown and a horrible
and distinct scar somewhere on your person.
4. Lifepath Warrior, 1 year, You trained at the military academy in Hellas. There they focused your mind and
hardened your body.


5. Lifepath Sailor, 3 years,  Great Fortune: Solved a Sphinx’s riddle on an adventure to Khemit. The riddle gave you great insight into
the universe. Gain +1 PER.

Thamyron has also spent on the order of 10 years sailing and exploring, so he very well could have run into a good many of the other PCs then.

So, I could have met Alembos in Ophir 10 years back, before I left in disgrace

Tragedy..

Who wants this role:

A parent or sibling dies, killed by a travelling companion (choose a player character).

What's your background, Seer? Any chance the person killed was a Gladiator?

Seer the Atlantean Sorceress,

Father is a Cleric and mother is a Sorceress.

Not sure about my older siblings if there are any.

If you need a parent or sibling slain, look no further! My earliest adventure was killing an Atlantean hero. I don't want to step on any hooves though so if Fernao has dibs on killing your relative, I am good with that.

I think this fits better with your background, Brude.

Thanks guys..

So Brude it is.. I will put you in my history when I get word back from the ST.

Definitely ok with Brude slaying a relative of yours...in game only those please.

Brude...do you want to be staying with fellow red tide campaigner Thamyron while in Atlantis?

Tossing this out there again. If someone's got a strong Relationship disadvantage/enemy/rival... let me know and it possible I was also a thorn in their side.
Or heck, your Relationship disad could be someone you love! Maybe you've got a wife to take care of, or a slightly scorned lover. Who knows?! I don't! Tell me all about it!

Brude is already under contract with Captain Ason but he surely will be more than happy to be visiting his old friend here in Atlantis. Perhaps that is how Thamyron was given the invitation?

Woot! So, we have a full cast now?

To recap:

I'm Nkruma, an Asena Scout, consecrated to the service of Olukun, a sea-god (of sorts).

My Disadvantages (can be elaborated upon)
Relationship: 1 - an Enemy that I stole an artifact from (another PCs Relationship Disad - this is a big one, sorta. need to know what you folks have for relationship disadvantages)
Internal: 2 - Code of Conduct, I'm a consecrated priest of Olukun.
External: 2 - Being a Fugitive. I'm on the run from the law in Ophir and haven't gone back.

As a Priest of Olukun, my main tenets that I must keep:

•   Take time to learn and understand what you can.
•   Prostrate yourself before a pool of water and sing Olukun's praise.
•   On the night of the full moon, bathe in waters that hold the image of the moon.
•   Never willingly withhold knowledge

I'm awesome with a bow, good with a blade.
I can call on Olukun with time and some lucky rolls. Possibly some sacrificing as well. And lots of lucky rolls.
I know some very very very very minor spells. I am in no way a spell-caster but since I can touch the spirit-world, I've got the standard magic-user social penalties. 

My recap:

I'm Sabetha, an Atlantean Scoundrel



Disadvantages:
Relationship - 1: The One that Got Away, love-interest that vanished
Internal - 2: Self-Critical, has a deep seated fear that everything she does is wrong
Internal - 2: Code of Conduct, "Thieves Prosper" (make sure that thieves succeed, aid one another, go free)
and "The Wealthy Remember" (make sure that the wealthy don't get away with things just because of their wealth, justice)

Hello...

Anyone who might have played in the "other game" may recall me.  Since the "other game" is now apparently dead, I just decided to transfer my character.

Human priestess, here --- born and reared in Atlantis, to a well to do merchant family.    During her childhood, a competing group of Atlantean merchants ruined and framed her family, sending them to the streets. This experience soured her on things Atlantean, the Orixa included.

She seeks to give her outland gods (the Tharshi) a stronger presence in Atlantis. (and elsewhere)

Ironically, in childhood she had an odd encounter with the Orixa Anansi, without knowing who he was at the time. She aided him to trick a lion into a pit. Anansi thanked
her, the lion cursed her (so sayeth the rules...in what way? Dunno...), and Anansi is the one god amongst the Orixa whom she warms to, a little.


As a priestess of Ahbra:

- All must give offerings to the gods whether coin or sacrifice.
- Give travelers thanks and welcome them to your bosom.
- Never give your trust without payment in kind.
- Always pay your debts to friend and foe alike.
- Every bruise, every insult, every coin, every favor must be met in time.
- One can never have too much; gather what wealth you can.
- Bury sacrifices to Ahbra each new moon.
- Take nothing from the dead.
- Embrace darkness and extinguish fire.


It seems everyone is making their disads public, and so:

- Enemy(sibling) (1 - Relationship)(her brother; still devoted to the Orixa, cannot abide her devotion to outland gods)
- Shady background (1 - External)(family had to become thieves for a time, after they lost their merchant business)
- Religious zealot of outland gods (3 - Personality)
