(ooc) Sorry for the delay with the answers. Its been a long week at work. I'll provide more answers in the coming days.
What is one thing that EVERYONE knows about your character the moment they meet you? Something that is blatantly obvious. Branra is very confident and outgoing
What is one thing people learn about your character after knowing you for a while? Branra genuinely cares about the people he works and lives with.
Pick one other character in the group; what is something your two characters like to do together? He enjoys going to the taverns with Julian
Pick one other character in the group; what is something your two characters don't like to do together? Branra doesn’t like fighting with Addi, because Addi seems to give up too quickly.
What is something you don't know about Mentor that your character is curious about? Branra would like to know how the Mentor knew he was coming to the city and able to have a servant meet him at the gates.
What is your least favorite thing about Mentor? Branra doesn’t like the Mentor giving him lectures about his carousing at the tavern in town.
What is your least favorite thing about the Academy? The closed spaces within the Academy turn him off. Branra is used to be out under the sky, with no walls near him.
What is something you know about the Empire and the Capital City? The Empire is corrupt and the people living in the Capital City are weak
What is your favorite thing about the Empire and the Capital City? The taverns
What is your least favorite thing about the Empire and the Capital City? Branra does not like how many people there are in the Capital City
I'm not sure if my message to you about something I don't tell anyone about Branra got sent to you. I don't want to fill up your inbox with multiple messages, so let me know if you didn't get it.
Also, welcome Jaspers/Luna! Hope you enjoy the game.
Luna will be played by Miko_Darknight, though I can see where you got confused : )
I'll be sending in Julian's information in a bit, sorry for the delay. It'll only be a portion of the questions since I still need to discuss some stuff with others.
What is one thing that EVERYONE knows about your character the moment they meet you? Something that is blatantly obvious. Julian's a responsible person with a steady demeanor. His patience has a long fuse, and he cares about the people around him.
What is one thing people learn about your character after knowing you for a while? He's a klutz that worries too much about others, even cooking for them (if he can sneak into the kitchen). He's also from outside the empire, and he sneaks off to visit his younger siblings and mother occasionally.
Pick one other character in the group; what is something your two characters like to do together? He and Branra occasionally sneak out to drink and wander around town; it's not often that he gets to see it under the guise of night, and Branra needs someone to look out for him.
Pick one other character in the group; what is something your character doesn't like about that character, and they know it? The fact that Taraven (one of the squishiest in the group) throws herself at danger a lot still stresses him out so much!
Pick one other character in the group; what is something your character likes about that character, that they do not know, but a third character does know? Fallon knows that he's thankful for Luna's presence. He won't have to worry too much about the team with a strong support caster at his side.
What is something you don't know about Mentor that your character is curious about? Julian doesn't know why Mentor chose him to be taught. He thinks that, as a choice, he's nothing remarkable.
What is your favorite thing about Mentor? Mentor has a good sense of humor, and he's a patient teacher to everyone.
What is your least favorite thing about Mentor? Mentor is very cagey about his plans. Julian doesn't like going into situations without knowing about it. Also, Julian wants access back to his kitchen to stress bake. It's his RIGHT as an Empire citizen!
What is something you know about the Academy? According to Fallon, the Academy is filled with secret passages and rooms. He thinks it adds to the mystique of the place.
What is your favorite thing about the Academy? Even though he didn't study History, he still thinks the library and the art exhibitions are beautiful in the quiet hours of the night, when he, Addi, and Fallon study. Admittingly, he doesn't know what most of it means but it still inspires a sense of wonder in him.
What is your least favorite thing about the Academy? The stairs : (
What is your favorite thing about the Empire and the Capital City? The Empire took in his family after his father left them. He's a refugee and he loves the chance to breathe without worrying about his family's survival at the hands of the Chaos Warriors.
(I have not yet received the DM about Branra's Secret. Other than that, things are looking great. I want this campaign to go at the pace of the players, so if that means waiting a few days before you are able to post, I understand. Loving all the replies btw.)
Oh, I did hesitate a moment when Branra said that the Empire was corrupt. Aspects of it definitely is, as mentioned by other players, and I can see how Branra would view it as Corrupt from his perspective; but as a whole the Empire is more Neutral Good. At least that is what you have been taught by Mentor and possibly others. Those lessons could also have been lies though, so you never know; but there is not too much blatant evil in the day to day actions of the Empire.
I just messaged Taraven, to make sure that they are still interested in the campaign. If I don't hear back soon, we may move forward without them. Sorry for the delays in starting up the campaign.
1. What is your daily training routine to keep up your skills? Fallon hones their skills through an exercise not unlike "hide and seek" or a treasure hunt, having the Mentor or one of their companions hide objects about a room while they try to pick it out using only their senses. They also perform rigorous knife throwing routines.
2. Have you developed any strategies or tactics with another character? Though it is a more unspoken strategy, Fallon allows their compatriots to draw notice and attention while they examine their foes for weaknesses and determine when and where is best for them to strike.
3. Do you have a favorite attack? Fallon prefers staying at a distance, but has no love for bows, so instead they have honed their skills in throwing knives. It stands as their favored method of attacking.
4. What do you do for fun? Fallon is a fan of people watching, both as a way to pick out mannerisms, behavioral patterns and possibly flaws, but also as a pass time. While they might not trust most, they find everyone interesting and worthy of study.
5. What does your character think about and feel in regards to your upcoming challenges and missions? Fallon has learned not to develop feelings about something until it is underway, because it either causes unneeded stress or unwarranted security. They are, however, secure in the knowledge that all of their party has been trained well.
What is your daily training routine to keep up your skills? Addi practices cantrips a lot, since she can do those any time she wants.
Have you developed any strategies or tactics with another character? Addi generally stays from a distance so she can attack them with spells from safety. She does want at least one person (usually Fallon) defending her so that she can’t just die on the first hit.
Do you have a favorite attack? Addi really likes using Chaos Bolt, but also enjoys using Ice Knife
What do you do for fun? Addi likes to read a lot, specifically reading about other planes of existence
What does your character think about and feel in regards to your upcoming challenges and missions? Addi feels pretty prepared, but secretly worries if the others will mess it up.
The campaign begins!!! Here is a link to the Roleplay thread. Remember that this thread can continue to be used for OOC posts and to further flesh out your characters. Feel free to continue to answer any questions I've posted or to post questions of your own.
What is your daily training routine to keep up your skills? Branra likes to start the morning with a good workout in the training room, either with Julian or against the practice dummies. After finishing in the training room, Branra will move to one of the outdoor areas to sharpen his sword. He will spend time practicing with his javelin, working on improving his aim. In the afternoon, he will work on his nature skills followed by another session in the training room before dinner.
Have you developed any strategies or tactics with another character? At this point, no.
Do you have a favorite attack? Branra likes to cast the thaumaturgy cantrip to distract his opponent, either causing the ground to shake, or thunder to rumble next to the opponents ear before attacking.
What do you do for fun? Heads to the nearest tavern.
In the courtyard, there is a giant tree with huge branches that is perfect for Addi to climb in, settle down, and read a book in a (mostly) undisturbed location. She really likes this area and goes here a lot. Not always to read, but sometimes to just get away from everyone else.
In one corner of the courtyard, there are several overgrown bushes. In the midst of these bushes is a small clearing that Branra likes to relax in. He noticed that the bushes cut down on the noise from the city and the house. He is able to imagine that he is back living with his tribe and let the worries of the future behind.

Oh, by the way, because of your years of preparing; all of your characters begin with Inspiration.
What is your daily training routine to keep up your skills? Branra likes to start the morning with a good workout in the training room, either with Julian or against the practice dummies. After finishing in the training room, Branra will move to one of the outdoor areas to sharpen his sword. He will spend time practicing with his javelin, working on improving his aim.

What do you do for fun? Heads to the nearest tavern.
You said Danfi instead of Branra for your character name in the other thread, lol. Thought you should know.
Doh! I fixed it.
Could each of you describe one thing about the courtyard, the dinning area, or the kitchen?
Is that thing something your character likes or dislikes about the Academy?
In the courtyard, there is a giant tree with huge branches that is perfect for Addi to climb in, settle down, and read a book in a (mostly) undisturbed location. She really likes this area and goes here a lot. Not always to read, but sometimes to just get away from everyone else.

In one corner of the courtyard, there are several overgrown bushes. In the midst of these bushes is a small clearing that Branra likes to relax in. He noticed that the bushes cut down on the noise from the city and the house. He is able to imagine that he is back living with his tribe and let the worries of the future behind.
