His friends are mostly tieflings and humans in the gang.
[21:41] Blank00000: If he doesn't know his parents, maybe mom died giving birth, maybe they just orphaned him, whatever way he ended up on the street...
[21:41] FenrirBill: Yeah.
[21:41] Blank00000: So a baby that gets dumped in the Hive is gonna die, what happened?
[21:42] FenrirBill: The gang. Whoever's running it picked him up, showed him a little kindness.
[21:42] FenrirBill: He works for that guy. A sort of oliver twistesque fagen character.
[21:42] Blank00000: Why would a street gang take in a baby?
[21:42] FenrirBill: Yuri Notagoblin. He's a tiefling.
[21:42] FenrirBill: Well, you ever read oliver twist?
[21:42] Blank00000: Yeah, a while ago.
[21:43] FenrirBill: Same reason every criminal unit would take kids.
[21:43] FenrirBill: To make them into criminals, and thus make money on their backs.
[21:43] Blank00000: They're small, cute and slippery.
[21:43] FenrirBill: Exactly.
[21:43] FenrirBill: And being an aasimar. He was -really- cute.
[21:43] Blank00000: But they wouldn't take a baby, Oliver lived in an orphanage until he was how old? probably around 10.
[21:44] FenrirBill: That'd work.
[21:44] FenrirBill: I don't know much about orphanages, and generally my characters tend to be farmers and don't have these backstory problems.
[21:44] FenrirBill: Heh.
[21:45] Blank00000: So did the people there tell you how you got there? Did you bother to ask? If so, did they say your parents dropped you there themselves, or did they just dump you and someone else found you?
[21:45] Blank00000: Farmers can still have deep backstory.
[21:45] FenrirBill: True.
[21:46] Blank00000: I'd have some up with the same kind of questions then
[21:46] FenrirBill: I'm very good with farmers.
[21:46] FenrirBill: Hah, damn you and your questions. Generally I just write, hand it to my GM, and then they nod and smile.
[21:46] FenrirBill: Heh.
[21:46] FenrirBill: *gives up and plays a slaadi instead*
[21:47] Blank00000: I do too, but what I write is a story that comes from answering these kinds of questions.
[21:47] Blank00000: Okay, so what sort of host did you hatch from?
[21:47] FenrirBill: I generally know the area better than sigil.
[21:48] FenrirBill: For example, last campaign was based in a farmer's town called singer's fork.
[21:48] Blank00000: on which plane?
[21:48] FenrirBill: Okay okay.
[21:48] FenrirBill: Anyway.
[21:48] FenrirBill: Retcon that, I'll go with a human.
[21:48] Blank00000: i meant the town was on which plane
[21:48] FenrirBill: Lots more humans.
[21:48] FenrirBill: I know. The town was on a prime material.
[21:49] Blank00000: okay, nothing in your backstory so far says you have to be a certain race
[21:49] FenrirBill: Lived on an orphanage in sigil...
[21:49] Blank00000: Nice place? Or Twistian?
[21:50] FenrirBill: Run by the Bleak Cabal.
[21:50] FenrirBill: So not really twistian.
[21:50] Blank00000: That's what I would have said if you answered Twistian.
[21:50] FenrirBill: Hah
[21:50] FenrirBill: I didn't think they were -that- bad.
[21:50] Blank00000: They're not.
[21:50] FenrirBill: But yeah, run by the bleak cabal
[21:50] Blank00000: They didn't actively make your life miserable, they just didn't do anything to make it much better.
[21:51] FenrirBill: He leaves, yuri takes him in, quickly finds him ineffectual at begging and stealing, but a right good chap at enforcering.
[21:51] Blank00000: They fed you, you had something to cover your nekkidness most of the time
[21:51] FenrirBill: Also reinforced a bit of an anger problem, and hand-to mouth thinking on my character's part.
[21:51] Blank00000: They didn't particularly care how much you ate, so you grew up big and strong, at least as big as one can get on Bleaker gruel.
[21:52] FenrirBill: That being said, he's extremely loyal to friends, but borderline hostile with people he doesn't know.
[21:52] FenrirBill: *nod*
[21:52] Blank00000: But they did care when you occasionally bullied the other kids?
[21:52] FenrirBill: He wasn't a bully until he left.
[21:52] FenrirBill: And Yuri found him.
[21:52] Blank00000: So what made him change?
[21:52] Blank00000: Yuri?
[21:52] FenrirBill: Yeah. Yuri's a grade-a asshole. Played the kids off against one another.
[21:53] Blank00000: Okay, tell me a little more about Yuri... you said he's a tiefling, is he a member of a faction?
[21:53] FenrirBill: Eventually yuri died in a bar brawl involving a black Abishai.
[21:53] Blank00000: Hmm.... I think we get to decide whether Yuri is alive or not
[21:53] FenrirBill: I was about to write another NPC for ya, bastard.
[21:54] FenrirBill: The new leader is female.
[21:54] Blank00000: We can have two...
[21:54] FenrirBill: Well, Yuri disappeared, then.
[21:54] FenrirBill: Left him for dead, if you like.
[21:54] Blank00000: So was Yuri in a faction?
[21:54] FenrirBill: Hold on
[21:54] FenrirBill: Sign of one.
[21:54] FenrirBill: Aka, solipsistic bastard.
[21:55] Blank00000: A signer leading a street gang, eh? Not something they usually do but they can do whatever they want.
[21:55] Blank00000: Maybe he felt that since it's his universe, he should be actively controlling it, and he was starting small.
[21:55] FenrirBill: Yeah.
[21:55] FenrirBill: So, as it was his universe, he felt free to mistreat his little sweetmeats. As he called us.
[21:56] Blank00000: And this continued until your love interest came along?
[21:56] Blank00000: (Teasing)
[21:56] FenrirBill: New leader is named... hm, what's a good female name for a... hardly.
[21:56] FenrirBill: She's his -boss- He fears her.
[21:57] FenrirBill: She's a fated.
[21:57] Blank00000: Okay, before we get to the new leader, I have to ask why you put up with Yuri's bullshit, and for about how long?
[21:57] FenrirBill: He put up with his bullshit because he was always too small to actually bust yuri up, and yuri was always too smart for him, too.
[21:58] Blank00000: I thought we established him as a fairly big guy... being outsmarted works though.
[21:58] Blank00000: He always managed to convince you that he was actually doing what was best for you?
[21:58] Blank00000: Maybe you're a bit on the gullible side?
[21:58] FenrirBill: Also, he's never really had any personal self-confidence. So, even though eventually he was bigger than yuri, yeah, he always figured Yuri knew best.
[21:58] FenrirBill: Very much so.
[21:58] FenrirBill: Low wis. Maybe high int, but it's all wasted.
[21:58] Blank00000: Dunno, don't wanna think about ability scores yet.
[21:58] FenrirBill: Would like books, if he could afford them.
[21:59] Blank00000: So he is Oliver Twist
[21:59] FenrirBill: Heh.
[21:59] FenrirBill: Dunno, haven't read that book.
[21:59] Blank00000: Haha you're the one that mentioned it first.
[21:59] FenrirBill: In a while.
[21:59] FenrirBill: He really believes the only rule is who can out-muscle or out smart someone else.
[22:00] FenrirBill: He'd like to believe in something more noble, but hasn't seen it demonstrated practically.
[22:00] Blank00000: He does now. At the time he figured Yuri was looking out for him.
[22:00] FenrirBill: Yeah
[22:00] Blank00000: He was maybe 12 or 13?
[22:00] FenrirBill: Yeah
[22:01] Blank00000: I have an idea, tell me if you like this one...
[22:02] FenrirBill: Sure.
[22:02] FenrirBill: I'm trying to figure out how he got starting equipment.
[22:02] FenrirBill: It's funny. Later on, the street kid is going to be reading books, wearing plate and laying waste with a big honking sword (tm)
[22:03] FenrirBill: It's just I can't figure out a way to get him from kid with a crappy life, to actually playable PC
[22:04] Blank00000: So one day you and the crew are with Yuri someplace (you tell me where), and he spies (name), and decides he's going to go over and talk to her. Thinks she's kinda cute, for a githyanki. They chat a bit, then he send you kids back to the hovel. The next morning (name) comes to the hovel and says, "You're my kids now."
[22:04] FenrirBill: Perfect\
[22:04] FenrirBill: Female running gang was -definitely- not love interest.
[22:04] FenrirBill: Btw, I don't write 'em into backstories.
[22:04] FenrirBill: I find them in game, in the unlikeliest of places.
[22:04] FenrirBill: Or likeliest, sometimes.
[22:05] * FenrirBill had a paladin fall in love with the princess he rescued. Of course.
[22:05] Blank00000: Some arguments are quelled with a slight bit of violence, and the crew is following her to the hall of records (Fated HQ)
[22:06] Blank00000: The ones who argued are limping a bit, but she's not waiting for stragglers, if they can't or won't keep up she wants nothing to do with them.
[22:06] FenrirBill: I didn't even know there WERE female githyanki, btw
[22:06] FenrirBill: I only knew of t3h lich queen! O noes!
[22:06] Blank00000: How else would they reproduce dude?
[22:06] FenrirBill: Magic? I dunno
[22:07] Blank00000: Umm... I think the act of reproduction can be magical
[22:07] FenrirBill: Hah.
[22:07] FenrirBill: You'll probably need to help dara out more. I smell complete n00b to planescape.
[22:08] Blank00000: Anyway, we come to your first visit to the Hall of Records, in which you eventually ask (name) to teach you to read, and she asks, in typical Fated fashion, what you'll do for her in return.
[22:08] FenrirBill: Scar. He's got a huge cut across his face from when Yuri got a little drunk
[22:08] FenrirBill: And pulled out his knife.
[22:09] FenrirBill: Instead of just beaing him like normal.
[22:09] Blank00000: You stutter a bit, being at this point still unaccustomed to Fated, and she cuts you off with, "I'll find something for you to do. Come with me."
[22:10] Blank00000: She works you pretty hard, but she does teach you to read, and teaches you the Fated world-view. By 17 or 18 you've decided to join the faction, which brings us to game time.
[22:10] FenrirBill: Works for me, and for the character.
[22:10] Blank00000: Maybe you still work for her when she needs you, maybe you bought freedom from her, you can think about that one.
[22:11] FenrirBill: He's got brown hair and brown eyes. He still works for her when she needs a basher.
[22:11] FenrirBill: He bristles when she asks him to bust up a member of the gang though. Doesn't mind cracking skulls outside of that group tho.
[22:12] Blank00000: Story could use a little more detail about the time with her so far, like the little things we came up with for Yuri. Oh, and your name. And hers.
[22:12] FenrirBill: Scar.
[22:12] Blank00000: The gang membership probably changed somewhat when you started working with the Fated.
[22:12] Blank00000: You're not naming yourself Scar
[22:12] FenrirBill: Why not?
[22:12] FenrirBill: I tend to go with grunty one or two syllable names, you bastard.
[22:13] FenrirBill: That or typical knightlyish names.
[22:13] FenrirBill: I play goons or heros. Heh
[22:13] Blank00000: Scar could be a nickname, you can ask people to call you that, but you didn't get the scar until some time into your life. You had a name before that.
[22:13] FenrirBill: Oh, good point.
[22:13] FenrirBill: What naming nomenclature is common in sigil?
[22:14] Blank00000: Planescape slang is based on Renaissance english, so if you're human a normal name will work.
[22:14] FenrirBill: James.
[22:14] Blank00000: Yep
[22:14] FenrirBill: Last names are for people with parents!
[22:14] Blank00000: Exactly.
[22:15] Blank00000: You were named by the Bleakers, it was something easy cause they're the Bleakers.
[22:16] FenrirBill: I'm not sure of naming methodology for githyanki
[22:16] Blank00000: So I guess I wanna know a little bit more about the time from when Yuri disappeared to the present, but overall I like it. Fill in whatever details you think make it cool and drop an email to me and (Link: mailto:planescapedm@hotmail.com)planescapedm@hotmail.com, okay?
[22:17] FenrirBill: Sure thing
[22:17] Blank00000: Hmm... trying to remember
[22:17] Blank00000: Don't have the books, always stole them from stix but now I'm not in SC any more
[22:18] FenrirBill: Ah
[22:18] Blank00000: You can ask him for ideas.
[22:18] FenrirBill: Sure
[22:18] Blank00000: Hell she doesn't even have to be githyanki, i just picked a race out of my ass
[22:19] Blank00000: I mean it'd be a little weird for a tiefling to be interested in a bariaur, but most humanoids would work
[22:19] FenrirBill: I like Githyanki, makes me laugh
[22:20] Blank00000: or if you don't want yuri thinking with his sack, make him a githzerai and her a githyanki. They hate each other with a passion. Maybe in a rare display of nicety Yuri sent the kids home when he realized he was gonna be in a fight.
[22:20] FenrirBill: Yeah, that's even better.
[22:20] Blank00000: Or change that event around completely, there's plenty of other ways to work it.
[22:20] FenrirBill: How about HE be a githyanki
[22:20] FenrirBill: And her a Githzerai
[22:20] FenrirBill: Since githyanki tend to be eviler than Zerai
[22:21] Blank00000: Actually I like the original way better, a fight between gith is kinda cliche
[22:21] FenrirBill: Alright
[22:21] Blank00000: If you wanna do that that's fine, but I thought Yuri the tiefling was a nice picture, this funky-looking figure out of your past and all that junk
[22:22] FenrirBill: I like Yuri the tiefling.
[22:22] FenrirBill: Yuri Notagoblin.,
[22:22] FenrirBill: Name of the Githyanki is scree.
Session Close (Blank00000): Thu Apr 07 22:23:52 2005
Session Start (FenrirBill:Blank00000): Thu Apr 07 22:24:15 2005
[22:24] Blank00000: That her first name or last?
[22:24] FenrirBill: First name
[22:25] Blank00000: All she bothered telling you, anyway?
[22:25] FenrirBill: Yeah
[22:26] Blank00000: Not really important, I'm just asking random questions now
[22:26] FenrirBill: Gonna write up the first time he killed a man
[22:26] FenrirBill: I figure that's a relatively important event in a basher's life.
[22:26] FenrirBill: I can't do planescape cant though. Just is beyond me to make my brain talk in that method
[21:41] Blank00000: If he doesn't know his parents, maybe mom died giving birth, maybe they just orphaned him, whatever way he ended up on the street...
[21:41] FenrirBill: Yeah.
[21:41] Blank00000: So a baby that gets dumped in the Hive is gonna die, what happened?
[21:42] FenrirBill: The gang. Whoever's running it picked him up, showed him a little kindness.
[21:42] FenrirBill: He works for that guy. A sort of oliver twistesque fagen character.
[21:42] Blank00000: Why would a street gang take in a baby?
[21:42] FenrirBill: Yuri Notagoblin. He's a tiefling.
[21:42] FenrirBill: Well, you ever read oliver twist?
[21:42] Blank00000: Yeah, a while ago.
[21:43] FenrirBill: Same reason every criminal unit would take kids.

[21:43] FenrirBill: Exactly.
[21:43] FenrirBill: And being an aasimar. He was -really- cute.
[21:43] Blank00000: But they wouldn't take a baby, Oliver lived in an orphanage until he was how old? probably around 10.
[21:44] FenrirBill: That'd work.
[21:44] FenrirBill: I don't know much about orphanages, and generally my characters tend to be farmers and don't have these backstory problems.
[21:44] FenrirBill: Heh.
[21:45] Blank00000: So did the people there tell you how you got there? Did you bother to ask? If so, did they say your parents dropped you there themselves, or did they just dump you and someone else found you?
[21:45] Blank00000: Farmers can still have deep backstory.
[21:45] FenrirBill: True.
[21:46] Blank00000: I'd have some up with the same kind of questions then
[21:46] FenrirBill: I'm very good with farmers.

[21:49] FenrirBill: Lived on an orphanage in sigil...
[21:49] Blank00000: Nice place? Or Twistian?
[21:50] FenrirBill: Run by the Bleak Cabal.
[21:50] FenrirBill: So not really twistian.
[21:50] Blank00000: That's what I would have said if you answered Twistian.
[21:50] FenrirBill: Hah
[21:50] FenrirBill: I didn't think they were -that- bad.
[21:50] Blank00000: They're not.
[21:50] FenrirBill: But yeah, run by the bleak cabal

[21:52] Blank00000: So what made him change?
[21:52] Blank00000: Yuri?
[21:52] FenrirBill: Yeah. Yuri's a grade-a asshole. Played the kids off against one another.
[21:53] Blank00000: Okay, tell me a little more about Yuri... you said he's a tiefling, is he a member of a faction?

[21:53] FenrirBill: I was about to write another NPC for ya, bastard.
[21:54] FenrirBill: The new leader is female.
[21:54] Blank00000: We can have two...
[21:54] FenrirBill: Well, Yuri disappeared, then.
[21:54] FenrirBill: Left him for dead, if you like.
[21:54] Blank00000: So was Yuri in a faction?
[21:54] FenrirBill: Hold on
[21:54] FenrirBill: Sign of one.
[21:54] FenrirBill: Aka, solipsistic bastard.
[21:55] Blank00000: A signer leading a street gang, eh? Not something they usually do but they can do whatever they want.

[21:56] FenrirBill: She's his -boss- He fears her.
[21:57] FenrirBill: She's a fated.
[21:57] Blank00000: Okay, before we get to the new leader, I have to ask why you put up with Yuri's bullshit, and for about how long?
[21:57] FenrirBill: He put up with his bullshit because he was always too small to actually bust yuri up, and yuri was always too smart for him, too.
[21:58] Blank00000: I thought we established him as a fairly big guy... being outsmarted works though.

[21:59] FenrirBill: Dunno, haven't read that book.
[21:59] Blank00000: Haha you're the one that mentioned it first.
[21:59] FenrirBill: In a while.

[22:04] FenrirBill: Perfect\
[22:04] FenrirBill: Female running gang was -definitely- not love interest.
[22:04] FenrirBill: Btw, I don't write 'em into backstories.
[22:04] FenrirBill: I find them in game, in the unlikeliest of places.
[22:04] FenrirBill: Or likeliest, sometimes.
[22:05] * FenrirBill had a paladin fall in love with the princess he rescued. Of course.
[22:05] Blank00000: Some arguments are quelled with a slight bit of violence, and the crew is following her to the hall of records (Fated HQ)
[22:06] Blank00000: The ones who argued are limping a bit, but she's not waiting for stragglers, if they can't or won't keep up she wants nothing to do with them.
[22:06] FenrirBill: I didn't even know there WERE female githyanki, btw
[22:06] FenrirBill: I only knew of t3h lich queen! O noes!
[22:06] Blank00000: How else would they reproduce dude?
[22:06] FenrirBill: Magic? I dunno
[22:07] Blank00000: Umm... I think the act of reproduction can be magical
[22:07] FenrirBill: Hah.
[22:07] FenrirBill: You'll probably need to help dara out more. I smell complete n00b to planescape.
[22:08] Blank00000: Anyway, we come to your first visit to the Hall of Records, in which you eventually ask (name) to teach you to read, and she asks, in typical Fated fashion, what you'll do for her in return.
[22:08] FenrirBill: Scar. He's got a huge cut across his face from when Yuri got a little drunk
[22:08] FenrirBill: And pulled out his knife.
[22:09] FenrirBill: Instead of just beaing him like normal.
[22:09] Blank00000: You stutter a bit, being at this point still unaccustomed to Fated, and she cuts you off with, "I'll find something for you to do. Come with me."
[22:10] Blank00000: She works you pretty hard, but she does teach you to read, and teaches you the Fated world-view. By 17 or 18 you've decided to join the faction, which brings us to game time.
[22:10] FenrirBill: Works for me, and for the character.
[22:10] Blank00000: Maybe you still work for her when she needs you, maybe you bought freedom from her, you can think about that one.
[22:11] FenrirBill: He's got brown hair and brown eyes. He still works for her when she needs a basher.
[22:11] FenrirBill: He bristles when she asks him to bust up a member of the gang though. Doesn't mind cracking skulls outside of that group tho.
[22:12] Blank00000: Story could use a little more detail about the time with her so far, like the little things we came up with for Yuri. Oh, and your name. And hers.
[22:12] FenrirBill: Scar.
[22:12] Blank00000: The gang membership probably changed somewhat when you started working with the Fated.
[22:12] Blank00000: You're not naming yourself Scar
[22:12] FenrirBill: Why not?
[22:12] FenrirBill: I tend to go with grunty one or two syllable names, you bastard.
[22:13] FenrirBill: That or typical knightlyish names.
[22:13] FenrirBill: I play goons or heros. Heh
[22:13] Blank00000: Scar could be a nickname, you can ask people to call you that, but you didn't get the scar until some time into your life. You had a name before that.
[22:13] FenrirBill: Oh, good point.
[22:13] FenrirBill: What naming nomenclature is common in sigil?
[22:14] Blank00000: Planescape slang is based on Renaissance english, so if you're human a normal name will work.
[22:14] FenrirBill: James.
[22:14] Blank00000: Yep
[22:14] FenrirBill: Last names are for people with parents!
[22:14] Blank00000: Exactly.
[22:15] Blank00000: You were named by the Bleakers, it was something easy cause they're the Bleakers.
[22:16] FenrirBill: I'm not sure of naming methodology for githyanki
[22:16] Blank00000: So I guess I wanna know a little bit more about the time from when Yuri disappeared to the present, but overall I like it. Fill in whatever details you think make it cool and drop an email to me and (Link: mailto:planescapedm@hotmail.com)planescapedm@hotmail.com, okay?
[22:17] FenrirBill: Sure thing
[22:17] Blank00000: Hmm... trying to remember
[22:17] Blank00000: Don't have the books, always stole them from stix but now I'm not in SC any more
[22:18] FenrirBill: Ah
[22:18] Blank00000: You can ask him for ideas.
[22:18] FenrirBill: Sure
[22:18] Blank00000: Hell she doesn't even have to be githyanki, i just picked a race out of my ass
[22:19] Blank00000: I mean it'd be a little weird for a tiefling to be interested in a bariaur, but most humanoids would work
[22:19] FenrirBill: I like Githyanki, makes me laugh
[22:20] Blank00000: or if you don't want yuri thinking with his sack, make him a githzerai and her a githyanki. They hate each other with a passion. Maybe in a rare display of nicety Yuri sent the kids home when he realized he was gonna be in a fight.
[22:20] FenrirBill: Yeah, that's even better.
[22:20] Blank00000: Or change that event around completely, there's plenty of other ways to work it.
[22:20] FenrirBill: How about HE be a githyanki
[22:20] FenrirBill: And her a Githzerai
[22:20] FenrirBill: Since githyanki tend to be eviler than Zerai
[22:21] Blank00000: Actually I like the original way better, a fight between gith is kinda cliche
[22:21] FenrirBill: Alright
[22:21] Blank00000: If you wanna do that that's fine, but I thought Yuri the tiefling was a nice picture, this funky-looking figure out of your past and all that junk
[22:22] FenrirBill: I like Yuri the tiefling.
[22:22] FenrirBill: Yuri Notagoblin.,
[22:22] FenrirBill: Name of the Githyanki is scree.
Session Close (Blank00000): Thu Apr 07 22:23:52 2005
Session Start (FenrirBill:Blank00000): Thu Apr 07 22:24:15 2005
[22:24] Blank00000: That her first name or last?
[22:24] FenrirBill: First name
[22:25] Blank00000: All she bothered telling you, anyway?
[22:25] FenrirBill: Yeah
[22:26] Blank00000: Not really important, I'm just asking random questions now
[22:26] FenrirBill: Gonna write up the first time he killed a man
[22:26] FenrirBill: I figure that's a relatively important event in a basher's life.
[22:26] FenrirBill: I can't do planescape cant though. Just is beyond me to make my brain talk in that method
