QuoteHey gang, I normally don't recruit like this, but given the exclusively specific nature of this concept, I consider it prudent that I try to rouse up some OOC interest beforehand.
I know coming from a person like myself, this sort of approach to a character could easily be taken in jest. Allow me to assure you that I want to inject some abstraction into my often articulate tendencies of character traits and try something relatively fresh and relevant to the setting and recent events. I encourage anyone interested thus far to post in this topic or send me a PM about any concept that they feel would be accordant.
Without further a due, allow me to organize the public thoughts and goals of the concept thus far.
Goals
The primary goal of the Red Eleint Historians United is to learn the ins and outs of the Red Eleint battles. I imagine this will involve a lot of PCs, NPCs, and monsters (mostly the powerful orcs who are so easily and obviously related to the Red Eleint battles) in both the past and current times.
This presents a wide array of opportunities of characters from all walks of life, from you scholarly librarian PCs/players, to the knightly, yet intellectual, orc-crusher. The elven keepers of the wilds or reclusive Stargazers to the more political or researcher types, delving into figures who were involved in the battles.
This is also a good way to learn of characters in the past involved in the battles aswell. For example, governor Erasmus Ortred played by the studly Caddies, the noble hero Conrad de Sonnac who stood up to some skeleton monster for the honor of his father and died anyways hopelessly, or the cunning Francisco de Olid who was cunningly portrayed by a really cool dude -- but I digress with this paragraph, and stretch the truth obviously in that last bit.
Suffice to say you can involve yourself in a multitude of ways with fresh or existing characters, and in all honesty I know little of the Red Eleint events and their underlying depth, which is part of the fun! I encourage new players and those who were involved alike to relive Red Eleint through my concept; making it our concept.
CharactersQuoteEveryone who knows me with any degree of reality, knows that I like to keep serious track of characters in my conceptional groups and know that they have depth and flavor in excess. Here, everyone's character and public profile can be listed. If your character eases more towards the subtle or secrecy, feel free to make their profile as short and concise as need be.
Character Requirements
Alignment: Any. Though the Red Eleint historians will easily tend to ease towards neutrality. I don't think obvious evil/good characters will fit the agenda, as they probably cannot grasp the complexity of Red Eleint while working towards a perceivable end of good/evil will fit in easily, but I can see it working with a creative concept. Again, a lot of characters could easily be welcomed into this.
Class: Any. Paladins may have a hard time if there is evil involved, clerics of some deities may find too much irrelevance in the historians' goals, unless of deities like Oghma or Deneir, though I am sure many could fit. Druids would possibly find trouble keeping much relevance as well.
Race: Any. Half-orc may have specific difficulties due to the nature of the Red Eleint conflicts being primarily against the orcish race, but again, with a creative concept they could fit in.
Deity: Any, though again orcish deities may be unfitting.
QuoteA post with a character name, mugshot, and small description should suffice for character profiles.
Characters thus far:(http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/826/richardr.jpg) Richard PhullingMy character will be the generally welcoming, contemplating, battle-hardened, and grizzled orc hunter/historian Richard Phulling, who has taken his interest in the Red Eleint conflict to an all new height, eager to learn all he can of the aforementioned battles. He is planned to be the figurehead of the Red Eleint Historians United, but anything can happen.

Dan's character will be Ricky Fuller. He served in the Ubel Rebellion and was called 'The Animatron Killer' because he killed lots of Spellguard Animatrons, and did a lot of woodcuttings of it. After it, he was outlawed and sought the surface alone, before returning to Sanctuary to lead Seeker rebellions against the Spellguard once more, before ultimately escaping from Sanctuary's finale, and to begin his hunt for Red Eleint's secrets.(http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/987/sobostion.jpg)
Sobostian FunkySobostian Funky, pronounced foon-kaaay, played by our own resident Calculor, is a Tormite priest, sometimes schoolteacher, full-time logger. He happens to very much enjoy history and battle. His interest in Red Eleint stems from the amazing discussions with his mother that the conflict lead to, as he seeks to learn more by trading logged wood with the Red Eleint Historians United. He also secretly has a crush on Ubel.(More to come, I hope!)ConclusionQuotePhew! I guess that sums up what I'd like to bring in this group in an organized fashion. Again, if you've any questions or concerns, feel free to PM me or post here. Already got a character in mind? Feel free to pin up his profile with a post and I'll put it on the list ASAP.
Thanks for reading,

AND OLD HITHARO TOOK THE CHILD UPON HIS KNEE, AND STARED AT HIM WITH THE GRIZZLED STARE OF A THOUSAND GRIZZLED BATTLES.
"BOY" HE SAID "LET ME TELL YOU A TALE OF DEATH, GLORY, AND BATTLE. LET ME TELL YOU OF RED ELEINT."
"I WAS LOGGING IN THE DARK, MURKY BREACHES OF THE ISLE WHEN IT HAPPENED. BLOOD FLOWED FREE FROM MY NETHER REGIONS, AND I DID WEEP WITH SORROW AND REGRET FOR SURELY THIS WOULD END ALL WE HAD MADE. I GRUNTED GRIMLY AND CHOPPED A TREE BEFORE HAVING A DISCUSSION WITH MY MOTHER. RED ELEINT HAD BEEN AVOIDED BOY...THIS DAY."
UBEL.
Um, I really don't get it.
I WILL BE THE ONE AND ONLY HAZARD DOG'S HEAD

I think after this picture being quoted 4 times I finally get it.
Why, Thomas? You don't need to do this. Just let it lie, don't go pretending you're one of the cool kids. :(
Is this faction still up? I'm currently thinking of a next concept, want to know the options. Is this still one of them?
I wouldnt count on it.
derflaro is still accepting concept PMs, afaik.
why is he not responding to my pm???
