• MISTY SIGHT: The Original North Revealed PCs can see through any one of their Fog Cloud spells (-1 Essence = water bound).
Player: Ben Persinger; Integrated campaign (GM: Kelly Berger) character for The North Revealed, created 5/2025.
Name: Your name is partially too high pitched – not natural to the folk you find yourself with, and so you go by the name of Gil.
Imperium Origins: Gil was taken on a Neogin slaver raid on a transport ship on its way to the ring station of Kalmukh in the Hekreif-Meraht System. Gil was born to Elven terraformer parents. Although young when taken, the call and answer of the cosmic water spirits instilled in him by his parents was constant and comforting. He had just ‘ridden the wave’ to signify he would continue his parents work in building more life at the age of 20, and going with them to assist the Tapethian peoples in settling/forming a newly discovered system.
> Gains the benefits of Imperium Accelerata.
ARRIVAL = Herald’s Quarterly 9168, 2nd Quarter = spaceship crash
The spirit of water of your people has sheltered you in your harrowing journey. Your inner self has sheltered in a cool, supportive place the whole time of your capture, slavery, and freedom. You have remained calm deep inside, despite the chaos outside… Here on a planet called Helca, Kaerslein is the elemental manifestation of the blessed life giving water. You sense a living world with great unrealized potential. Additionally, there is a divine spirit on the planet you find yourself on – at least bound to the great oceans of the world Helca – her name is Elancil. Her too you draw upon as inspiration to fight for yourself and others. In this place, you must acknowledge both, though your embrace is fully to the great Prince of Waters – Ashkoos.
Connecting to the Powers of Helca:
Soul Scourge: A Series of Dreams leads up to some cataclysmic event in the world you find yourself in. They are terrifying and reach into the recesses of your mind you thought unassailable. Having grown up in the Imperium, you have nothing by the terrifying elements of chaos sometimes unleashed by the witch worlds to compare it to, but that realization comes too late.

I have a list of several integrated character ideas i will try and match with (it looks like we are going in that direction). Im not giving the list out to everyone because i want things to remain a surprise for a while.
Trying to resist my knee-jerk response of “whatever the group needs!” Id like to play either a straight up wizard, preferably Divination, or a Warlock, dealer’s choice on patron.
Warlock works, ive got one of the character concepts built around it. Its REALLY interesting. All the character concepts i’ve outlined have mechanisms to be viable, despite some of their strange appearances and traits (which make for RP opportunities).
Weird really works for me.
It is not a typical elf. Ill start fleshing it out more
Oh dear. We’re aliens? That explains why no one recognized our language.
Note about character personality – I would like to play an anti-paladin. The most morally questionable character, switch up from the holy do-gooder I usually run. Will that still work?
I know this guy is described as calm and centered, almost aloof. He may end up more like a sociopath. Purely “what is going to most directly benefit me in the long run.”
If that doesnt fit your vision, I can try a different character.
I think we need to revisit something. an anti paladin elven warlock sociopath is not a good integrated campaign character. I am not sure how much Alanna cares, but shes the only one who has not voted on character approach. Thus far its been integrated campaign characters, and i began work on it. I can easily go another direction and will if the vote is a tie and you can get whatever personality you want at that point. 24 hours roughly voting period left.
No problem. I will fit whatever role needed.
Im not going to be an absolutist, i will work with you, but the definition of campaign integrated means i have a lot of the job to make the glue that holds the party together and binds them into the story, so i cant really have a sociopath. As one of the off worlders, and a member of “the foundlings” – you are all outsiders. Morally questionable i can work with if its simply not cut and dry and more pragmatic… Its going to be a rough group. A world of black and white is a luxury, and hard decisions sometimes have to be made that prioritize YOUR group over the rest of the world. You are the one to advocate for that… constantly 🙂 – does that give enough of a bent in that direction? Trust me, you’d be working against the other extreme in the party of “its only through law that we maximize our potential”…
Thats perfect.
this is going to be fun. it reminds me a lot of my character Rivkin and his clash with the LG character Tereya (the leader in our group) – a lot of memorable “conversations” about morality
please state the gender of character you wish to play (i can change it)
Sorry, I just realized my phone had died.
As an otherworldly elf, pretty androgynous. But male on close inspection.
thats my general classification (“male/suggestive female structures”), so thet dovetails
Exactly. If they ever see him naked he has a penis, but up til then its almost impossible to tell.
Well, it seems like there wont be a stark contrast to your viewpoint through background story. The cohesion is not quite what i hoped for, so i will document and suggest differences be worked out in session 0 for the players. Thats a bit sryptic, but i want many things to remain a surprise for a while. Suffice to say, there may be more of your outlook in the party than any law and order for a greater good. buckle up!
