well, the kobolt would likely get you into the party sooner sense they are in the middle of the woods. (not that anyone but ishmal knows were though) But after they set out I'm sure they'd be able to meet up with him.
At the same time, the kenku would likely be an amusing cross over. I'm leaning towards the Kobolt in my head but that's just because of the speed at which you can actually get into the rp then.

The personalities and just general oddities I tend to put my players though would be amusing to watch with that one is all. (though I'll find it fun to watch with any of them. XD)

a half and half? no, I don't that would work out too well.
and for this size RP, I'm sticking for one character per person less they die, at which case it's a new character for you.

Half and half? I lol'd.

I'm probably going with the kobold then...and given her level of curiosity, (what happens if I mix these two unidentified potions, then drink them?) she might not live too long, but I hope for the party's amusement she does. Should I end up creating the kenku, I'll have her be a modern.

(By the way, your sig cracks me up.)

User Name: Shin Majin
Character Name: Nera (no last name)
Race: Kobold
Class: Rogue
Age: 13 (young adult)
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Weapons: Dagger and hand crossbow, both designed for small humanoids
Armor: Studded leather jacket and buckler, both designed for small humanoids
Notable Equipment: Thives' tools, caltrops
Personality: As far as personality is concerned, Nera is an anomaly. Unlike your typical kobold, Nera feels no particular attachment or fondness for her race, and lacks most, (but not all) of the industriousness kobolds are known for. Instead, she is driven by an insatiable (many would say insane) curiosity, and showls little restraint around unknown devices and substances. In most regards, she is cheerful and humble, though she does take pride in her ability to flee from trouble.
Bio: Nyarex was hatched in the crowded confines of a kobold mine, where at a young age, she was taught the kobold ways of life: industry, racial pride, and of course, hatred for gnomes. Born a free spirit, however, Nyarex often found herself at odds with the harsh, rigid structure of her society. Unwilling to adhere to certain kobold expectations, such as a willingness to sacrifice one's self for the tribe, she felt there would be a better life for her elsewhere in the world. Upon reaching young adulthood, Nyarex fled from her home, changing her name to Nera and trying to find acceptance in human settlements...which hasn't worked so well, due to her species and incorrigible nature.
Other: Nothing at the moment
Appearance: This is a reference image. Like most kobolds, Nera is small, light, and utterly devoid of mammilian features. Her fine scales range from a sandy gold on her underbelly, to a russet at the tips of her tail, snout, and fingers. Nera has little regard for clothing or decoration, dresses purely functionally. Currently, she is only wearing her studded leather jacket and a pair of trousers (because she is quickly chased out of humanoid settlements without the latter.)

Accepted. I'll let you know more precisely where they are soon as the time comes for them to slip out of spot they're at so you know what you have to work with in terms of getting into the party, and if you want to get it while they're still in the wilds or wait till they are in a settlement/village/town/city. (lot of slashes. xD)
But for now they're somewhere in the dense forest down below Borat.(-resists quotes and references- It's odd that's it's name, but the map was made before the movie I'm sure.)

Meeting in the forest is no problem...if they travel at night. Nera's an outdoors-type...though kobold eyes don't like bright light.

If all the reincarnates are waking up in the same place, don't they all have to be made before any can post?

I'm waiting for the other two to post, i assumed there was an order
King of Wackatopia: "I'll guarantee your safety, give you meaning, give you knowledge and something to believe in for the low cost of your personal freedom."

Fang: "Look at you, you're gorgeous, you're beautiful, and when i look into your beautiful eyes all I see is this magnificent elegant creature, full of grace, full of strength. You're mesmerizing. You're intoxicating. I want you near me. I want to indulge you."

Ryan: "If my survival means the death of innocents, then so be it"

Kyliden: "This one is strong. He's brave and takes what he needs. He's a better werewolf then i could ever wish to be."

Diego: "I can't control what i feel, querida mia. This spark will become a big lively fire. It will consume me, it will consume you and everyone around us, and once nothing is left, new life will spring eternal."

Wade: "She made me love her before she sired me. She wanted a companion, a friend, a lover to indulge her throughout the centuries. Her demise filled me with emptiness; she was to give me a purpose and now I'm alone."

At this point it's still kind of disjointed so there isn't really an order yet. Once things set into a nice even flow we can get one going.

And actually sense we haven't set the number of Reincarnates yet, and we've got four, if a fifth one is made then they'll have just woken up late and have been off in a bush. XD

and if they don't show up, the we move on and there never was a fifth one. I was purposefully vague on how many heroes it had been for this purpose. :3

well I kind of want the reincarnated people to get out of the area they're in (right now they're in what was Ishmal's grove 100years ago, though only he would know that seeing as it's druid stuff. >.<) before they go running into modern people. So you can always post a introduction post, you doing your thing out in the woods, so that we know what we'll need to do in order make the paths cross when they leave the ex grove if you like.

Hrm...it'd make my intro a lot easier if I had some basic info of the city nearest to the grove. If you don't mind, could you tell me via post or PM?

well I guess it's best if I go ahead and fill everyone in on some basic info on the area. Let me swing by to photoshop to get some pretty and over sized dots put on the map for you to explain. :3

Ok, so we have 5 pretty dots here. (yes only five, that dark green one is just a mark on the original map and not actually part of my beautiful dot work.) In the modern day, which is quite different from what any of our formerly fallen heroes remember it, there are four notable towns near this area. All of which have cropped up from harvesting remorses from the massive forest. None of which have expanded too far into the forest due to the naturally dangerous and inhospitable environment it is as you progress farther in. And yep, you guessed it. Our little grove is set dead set in the thick of that forest. namely the red dot.
The black dot is a rather nasty logging village known for rough and unpleasant people. (even for a boarder town) The blue dot is a town whom specializes in trading lumber to Dwarven communities up in the mountains to the west. The off white dot is a relatively simple village and not much hustle and bustle. And the purple Dot is a town that makes much of their coin shipping lumber and timber up to Borat.
These wonderful towns, till I have need of actually naming them (like you picking one to use in your posts) will be referred to as the towns of Black dot, blue dot, white dot and Purple dot. (original I know!) The red dot will continue to be called the grove.

Is there a major trading town?

well in the general area the closest thing to a major trade town would be be purple dot, which trades with the capital being Borat. In the entire map there are lots of them seeing as it is the entire realm.

ok, it's not bad. (rather good actually for your first time) but there are a couple of things we need to address.
First of, it's unlikely a druid would be a merchant(minor and can be kept if you really want)(if you wish to change, Bard would likely be the most suited race.)
Secondly, Druids have to be aligned naturalize in some way (Neutral good, Chaotic Neutral, lawful Neutral, True Neutral or Neutral Evil.[neutral evil isn't allowed in this on])
And thirdly, we need to reduce down the level of success he's obtained so far, we're starting out at a relatively low level (in game terms) so he's not likely to have gained enough wealth to maintain keep and maintain that kind of livestock or the guards. Usually two horses would be about the limit at this point.

sorry, I tend to go into explanations so it seems like more than it is.
Though if you could shift the bolds to were they're just on the subjects and not the information that would be great.
