Not a first timer, but I had a few bad characters on here a while back XD
I spent a good chunk of time poring over the wiki and the City lore posts to come up with a character I think will be fun to play.
Looking forward to meeting ya'll!

Re: Hello Hello!
Welcome back. I have a soft spot for bad characters, so no problem there.
Sounds good, which city do you think you'd like to send your character into?
And if there are any questions on getting started, let us know!

Re: Hello Hello!
I was thinking Rharne. I have been scrounging up scraps of lore regarding the Coven and the activity of necromancy in that area.
I think it would be interesting to play a gloomy necromancer in a city of revelry.
As for questions. I was taking a look around. How do professions work? Suppose I'd like to work in one of the fine established... establishments, how would I sign my character up to work there? Is there a procedure or do I kinda just write it down in my sheet? I am of course referring to one of the NPC taverns, and not a player owned buisness.

Re: Hello Hello!
Oh great, as mod of Rharne I'd love to welcome you there!
The Coven hmm? I think that faction no longer exists currently in its past form, although Basilisk or Squirrel might know more. There are certainly shadowy groups with dark mages involved in Rharne's underworld you could get caught up in, however if you're of a mind to.
As for getting a job, so long as you play the npcs in those taverns appropriately (ask questions if you like about any of them), and depending on your specific profession, you can pretty much set up there and get to work on a wealth thread.
You can have one wealth thread per season, but that doesn't mean you can't post doing your job outside of the individual wealth thread. Just that you'll get diminished returns compared to the wealth thread.
What kind of profession would your pc get up to? Looks like he's a bit of a gambler, having taken a look at his skills

Re: Hello Hello!
Oh Im aware of the nasty end of the Coven, I have been planning to read through all the relevant threads in my spare time.
I was thinking it would be interesting to play an apprentice to a Necromancer hiding in the caves of the Stormlands, scrounging to find whatever he can on Ellisin and her rise to power. In any case there was an interesting dungeon (I cannot recall the name) in the Stormlands that has a special allotment of enemy npc necromancers, which made me feel its a good spot for a Necromancer to sire their apprentice.
As for jobs, yes indeed, my character was set to work in The Copper Prince, the gambling den, doing odd jobs, and occasionally playing the fair unbiased card dealer. Or maybe not so unbiased, with a few nels under the table. XD

Re: Hello Hello!
Ahh, I see. Very well then, that's certainly an interesting angle, and ellasin is one of the few liches to exist in history so fitting that a aspiring necromancer wants to follow her path.
I believe the dungeon you were talking about is the Umbral Caverns. As for finding a necromancer mentor, you can dev one and submit to the PSF. The necromancers in the Cavern are strictly hostile toward intruders
You may be also interested in recent developments in the Umbral Caverns: Ballad of the Lost
Basically that linked-to plot is going to lead to the rise of a protective shadow Induk. Not sure if that'll interest your pc at all, but there will be opportunities for other pcs to get bonded to her once I get off my butt on devving the Deep Wardens.
The job you described sounds very good to me. Feel free to get started with that!

Re: Hello Hello!
Ohh, well if the umbral cavern necromancers are like that then maybe my mentor can be someone in the surrounding area? Like a secluded spot of some sort in general. Im sure the Stormlands have a few. Current working story is that my character got drunk, wanted to prove himself and somehow ended up captured by a necromancer.
The necromancer sees aspects of his personality in him (arrogance, potential for megalomania, delusions of grandeur), and ends up apprenticing him.
Or something along those lines at any rate.
But either way, thanks for the tips! Ill be sure to check out that Induk. Actually spirits and ghosts have been a fascination of mine and I stalked the wiki pages about them. Ill be sure to give the events a look.

Re: Hello Hello!
Oh don't get me wrong. You can very well write up a necromancer that's from or residing in the Umbral caverns to mentor your pc. But the 'flavor necromancers' described there are merely for bashing. . You still wanna psf a mentor for yourself, with more personality than those guys.Netzach Embersoul wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 5:31 pm Ohh, well if the umbral cavern necromancers are like that then maybe my mentor can be someone in the surrounding area?

Otherwise your plan sounds solid.
