Describe your character:

-Anton: An amoral and vicious Dellin mercenary with the nickname of “Tiny" who lost his “family” in less than a day in a huge battle, and came to town to build it back up. He is willing to do anything it takes to bring his family and company back to its former might, and to absolutely dismantle and destroy the enemy company that brought his family down. Known to be loud and obnoxious. Doesn’t really trust anyone but his brothers much.

-Justin: A doctor from Civen turned mercenary named "Tickler" who is one of the last remaining members of an ancient mercenary band. His main concern/responsibility is upkeep and safeguarding of the company "Annals" which is an ancient series of books that describes the entirety of the company's history. It's his job to not only keep his brothers alive, but to document every step they take along their journey.

-Pano: Coinpurse is an exiled Vleanoan noble that is trained in fencing, art and stewardship. He is young, inexperienced and a coward when it comes to certain situations, but most of all, he's a goofball. He's always looking to poke fun at someone or be made fun of for thrill of it. He may push the envelope a bit far sometimes, but is a quick learner and profits from his many mistakes. He has truly grown from the meek and fearful self he once was and is now a force to be reckoned with. He also maintains his position as the quatermaster of Sable Company and a scout when out on company excursions.

 

 

What was your favorite in game moment?:

-Anton: In my first event we were playing as wandering Dellin fur sellers. We were annoying the hell out of everyone and anyone, and when we finally got to the Slap and Tickle, they magic locked the door on us. So we did the only thing left in our arsenal and started banging on the door and being as loud as possible. Finally we decided that we were gonna wait until someone opened the door to try and barge in. Happened to be our luck that an adventurer was trying to get into the Slap and Tickle. As they let him in we grabbed the door and tried to force our way in. They dropped us right quick. That’s when the fiends came from behind us and attacked the inn that we helped force open. A couple of other gambling npc’s inside the inn pretended to die and then bolted. The interactions of all of our groups that just happened to be there, I thought that was hilarious and beautiful.

-Justin: The first time our group encountered our mortal enemies: Onyx Company. The players who were NPCing them played them perfectly and set up an amazing encounter. It left a lasting impact on me for the future and, if I'm being honest, kinda scared me at the same time. I'm really excited to see what happens next.

-Pano: It's hard to pick a favorite as each event harbors at least 3-4 incredible moments that I would call my favorite, but I'll give the most recent occurrence that really left me feeling like one with Coinpurse. In June, Coinpurse was finally recognized as a merchant and was able to solicit Sable Company services to the public. Their first patrons were Aiden and Abel  from the Slap and Tickle, and the contract was set for 10 coin a head for a shift. Coinpurse was unsure of proper contract procedures and he mucked it up real good when it came to looting some Yebbs that the group slain and he argued with Aiden over the loot split. Coinpurse did not fully discuss the terms prior and because of this the dispute between Aiden and Coinpurse became hostile and he attempted to stab Coinpurse to death until coinpurse dissipated away before he was killed. After that Aiden had took his coin purse and emptied it all over the floor where coinpurse disappeared and then left. Coinpurse came back after Aiden was out of sight and reveled in his terrible mistake. He then meticulously picked up every coin and gem off the floor and later went back to Aiden to apologize and give Aiden his valuables back. What then followed was an amazing heart to heart with Aiden about Coinpurse's hardships with actual tears on my part. This moment was so cinematic and remarkable that it has permanently influenced Coinpurse's character going forward.

 

 

What is your favorite monster? Why?

-Anton: Kazvaks, they are a simple enemy which strike fear into every PC’s heart the moment you hear “Destroying Spark”.

-Justin: Wraiths. They're just so damn scary to fight since they chop right through armor. Be afraid to walk around town in the dark. Very, very afraid.

-Pano: Bagmen. They are always out terrifying people and making tough guys turn and run like little sissies. They are also always involved in horror plots and which are interesting and fun to be a part of.

 

 

Why do you love Kingdoms of Novitas?:

-Anton: Diving into my character completely and really feeling and acting and even believing I’m Tiny is an indescribable experience. The interactions between characters in game and the stories that occur in game always stick with me. And the people are all right too I guess <3 .

-Justin: It's an escape from the world for me. I get to be someone else entirely for a whole weekend. The stresses of life just sorta melt away and it's really become an important part of my life.

-Pano: The community. It is the most warm and welcoming group of people you'll ever meet. Everyone is so supportive and involved that it's contagious. From day one they take care of newbies and really put effort in to showing them a good time. After graduating from being a newbie, it is only natural to return the same favor to the newbies after you. One thing is for sure in Kingdoms of Novitas, is that new friends are everywhere you look.

 

 

Who is your favorite PC?:

-Anton: Abel, Aiden and Micah, for being the most interesting people involved in a love triangle.

-Justin: It's really hard to pick just one, so I'm going to say just about all the Earthkin. All of them are super chill and friendly, and I've yet to meet one I haven't liked immediately.

-Pano: Aiden and Abel, cutest couple in Novitas <3

 

 

What did you think your character concept was? What is it now?:

-Anton: When I first made my character, I attempted to emulate my own knowledge of Viking practices, attitude and mannerisms, tempered with lore from the world itself. I also made him intensely loyal to the company, so as to lower intergroup problems and as a way for the world to interact with the company as him as medium. I made Tiny loud and obnoxious as a way to distract people away from the activities of my peers, and to mask his own inquisitive nature, and also to be the biggest target on the battlefield, so they would focus on him and avoid anyone who could be hiding or flanking. I was also extremely interested in making my character religious, but atypically in his manner of worship to have that interaction between the world and his own tribal ways. My concept hasn’t changed much over these last few months, just some tweaks here and there that evolved naturally through character interactions and plot. I initially wanted him to treat his savagery and fighting in an almost religious manner, but it turns out Tiny is only brutal or savage when its demanded of him and doesn’t particularly enjoy it one way or another (unless you’re from Onyx Company). I also initially had the obnoxiousness be a façade for his more side, but realized that Tiny isn’t particularly intelligent as more “wise”, so while it is still a façade the things I’m covering with it has changed.

-Justin: Our group sat down and planned out what each of us would do. One leader, one healer, one scout, etc. It was decided that I'd be our healer as well as our Annalist, and I decided on my own to specialize in sword and shield. Tickler is more of a strategist, thinking long-term effects on him and his friends, as well as being more of a overly-cautious version of myself. I also liked the idea of being a bit mysterious, not telling anyone (even my friends) about Tickler's backstory. Nowadays Tickler has to start stepping up into a leader role, and making hard decisions on the fly. I'm really excited to see where the game takes Tickler from here.

-Pano: Coinpurse at first was a naive, childish, and cowardly spoiled rich kid with no idea how the world really works. He was prone to running from fights and problems rather than dealing with them head on. He was constantly making foolish mistakes. He was also very awkward and odd as he had never interacted with anyone else except his family and servants, (yes he was home-schooled).

 

 

How many PCs have you had? What happened to them?:

-Anton: I’ve had exactly one and he will live forever and totally never die.

-Justin: I've only had Tickler so far. But if something unfortunate were to happen I have some ideas for an interesting backup. Let's just call him a hunter of beasts for now.

-Pano: Coinpurse is my one and only right now and will be for quite a while. I do plan on playing an alternative character, but I will probably wait until I retire Coinpurse.
