Daniel Blithe

[Daniel Blithe]

Daniel Blithe Physical Description Name: Daniel Chase Blithe Race: Human Age: 27 Birthday: January 8th Character Concept Daniel is the adventurous sort. He will do anything for a good adventure and once he has one that he is able to go on, it is nearly impossible to get him to change his mind about the matter. He is stubborn, not listening to anyone unless it is entirely needed and it is hardly ever forced. He comes of somewhat rude though it isn't intended and he forgets tidbits of speech in the excitement of some moments causing him to seem unthoughtful. However, the boy is anything but. Underneath his male bravado he likes to show off, is a loyal friend. A boy who will be there till the end through thick and thin and the only way to get there is to stick with him Daniel actually respects those who decide to stick with him even though he sometimes acts like a complete jerk to them and respect is something Daniel takes highly and he only respects certain people. Character History Living in Sylaris since birth, Daniel lived a sheltered life and the extent of his travels were limited to the Stormhold Citadel and nothing more. His parents tried to make things better by renting an apartment with windows but it didn't put out the fire burning inside of Daniel to make it out of the walls. Soon enough, his father couldn't afford to keep the place and they moved into a windowless apartment and there, his sister Naomi was born, unable to see the rays of light flooding in and unable to see the billowing fresh green grass, much like himself. However, unlike himself, in Naomi's whole life, not once did she see the world outside through a window. Daniel and Naomi grew up, forced to be with each other as company due the the shyness of Naomi so Daniel was forced to be her only friend. It wasn't the ideal position, but the girl was a nice one and less annoying than any other girl he knew, so he sticked around with her even if he didn't enjoy it. Due to all this, Daniel wasn't especially skilled at making friends as he grew up. He wasn't a shy character, but he preferred to be by himself or watch from a safe distance. This wasn't something to boy was particularly proud of, but it was who he was and try as he may, he just couldn't feel comfortable speaking to boys his age, or to anyone outside his family, for that matter. His father was a merchant, selling and trading goods and it wasn't a particularly good paying job, but it made enough money to help he family maintain the basics. The Blithes never had extra money, extra money was an uncommon word in the household, a foreign term that would seem alien on their tongues. Because of this Daniel never got things that the other boys had or little things to entertain him with. He found entertainment in dreaming of the outside or looking up into the sky. One day, when Daniel was 14, his father had come back with a book. It was a little dusty and breaking out of the binding but it was enough to make the boy happy. It was a book of the geography and culture of Syliras. Ever since that day, Daniel and the book were attached to the hip. You would never find him if his nose wasn't buried inside the book. Even when he turned fifteen and went to help out his father, he read the book, memorizing each word and learning it by heart. When Daniel was 21, he decided he would go out of the walls. No matter how many times his parents protested that it was a bad idea and his sister bawled her eyes out, he had made up his mind. He set out, going to each city of Sylira and learning the ways of different people, even picking up a language or two. Daniel returned back when he was 27.

Hi there!

I'm Kraken, your friendly neighbourhood Character Sheet Liaison! I'm here to help make your experience on Mizahar go as smoothly as possible. Now, there are just a few quick points we need to sort out in order for your character to move forward. If you have any questions whatsoever, please don't hesitate to ask!

Lovely work on your character sheet, Daniel! It's interesting how your PC has lived a sheltered life and escaped from it. That can always be a lot of fun to roleplay. I just have a few notes for you to address before continuing on.

• Gender: While it may seem obvious, we do ask that you explicitly include your character's gender on your character sheet.
• Birthday: Real world months like January don't exist in Mizahar. We simply have four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) with 91 days in each season - except for Winter, which has 92. Please adjust your birthday so it has a day, season, and year. The current Mizahar year is 512 AV. If your PC is 27, he would have been born in 485 AV.
• Possessions: Please choose either a cloak or a coat.
• Heirloom: You seem to be missing your PC's heirloom! You can start with one heirloom item from the price list, worth 50GM or less, for free! Feel free to add yours in.
• Skills: Please state whether your skill points are from the starting package (SP) or racial bonus (RB).
  
  Proper Skill Setup :

  After a recent meeting with several of the Storyteller Staff and Founders, we have decided to Officially Change a policy regarding Skill Points in the Character Sheets. You must now display all Starting Points, Racial Bonus Points, and Earned Points separately from one another. Storytellers and Liaisons will now be Intervening on Character Sheets that fail to make this change.
  
  Examples
  
  

  Skills	Exp	Total	Proficiency
  Auristics	15 SP, 72 XP	87	Master
  Seduction	18 SP, 3 XP	21	Novice
  Glassworking	10 RB, 12 SP, 35 XP	57	Expert
  Intelligence	5 SP	5	Novice
  Sewing	13 XP	13	Novice
  Weapon: Javelin	1 XP	1	Novice
  Acrobatics	85 XP	85	Master

  
  
  SP = Starting Points
  RB = Racial Bonus Points
  XP = Earned Experience Points
  
  
  Example 2:
  
  Auristics: 87/100 (15 SP)
  Seduction: 21/100 (18 SP)
  Glassworking: 57/100 (10 RB) (12 SP)
  Intelligence: 5/100 (5 SP)
  Sewing: 13/100
  Weapon, Javelin: 1/100
  Acrobatics: 85/100
  
  
  Notice how the Starting Points, Racial Bonus Points, and Earned Experience Points are all notated differently. This allows Storytellers and other staff to review your Character Sheet more accurately, and ensure that everything is accurate and up to date.
  
  
  • Your skill points don't seem to add up. On the experience side, you only have 47 points total. You are allowed 50 XP from the starting package, and a +15 XP racial bonus in any one skill.
  • As well, please be sure the EXP side matches the Total side of your skills. Currently, your skill points in Production and Riding are not aligned.
  • I'm not quite sure what your Production skill is referring to. What is your PC producing? It would likely be better to pick a skill in the actual item your PC produces - ex. Agriculture, Fishing, Sewing, Vinting, etc. You can find a complete skill list in the lore.
• Language: You may want to think about how your PC learned Jamouran, since he does not live in the Spires. It might make more sense to choose another language from the language list.

Once you address these notes and make the proper changes, please send me a private message and I'll gladly remove this post.

Thanks, and happy writing!
