Individual Externships
The Individual Externship Program offers students who have completed their first-year program of study an opportunity for experiential learning that is tailored to the students' own interests and their educational and career goals. In an externship, a student performs volunteer legal work at a legal organization or practice (a "field placement") under the supervision of an experienced attorney (the "placement supervisor") who provides work projects and observational opportunities designed to develop the student's lawyering skills and to enhance the student's understanding of the legal profession. In addition to working at the field placement, the student extern also communicates regularly and shares written reflections on the externship experience with a faculty member of the student's choosing (the "faculty supervisor") throughout the term of the externship.
Students seeking an externship placement may consult lists of past externship placements or current volunteer legal opportunities posted on Symplicity. Students seeking to develop a new externship opportunity should consult with the Externship Director, and in any event, must have the placement approved by the Externship Director prior to enrollment. To enroll in an individual externship, students must complete the application and approval forms, have the approval form signed by their placement and faculty supervisors, and deliver both forms to the Externship Director by the deadline set out in the Academic Calendar.
Our Individual Externship Program is governed by the University of Connecticut School of Law Policy on Individual Externships. For more information about the Program, please consult the Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Individual Externships. Further questions should be directed to the Externship Director, Professor Jennifer Mailly or via phone at 860-570-5216.

We are back!
I know it's be a little while since I've posted …school tends to get in the way of blogging… but when I received an email from Audra asking us if we were ready to bring Christina Tosi back into our lives, I couldn't resist.
As I'm sure you know by now, the Momofuku Milk Bar is one of my all time favorite cookbooks and the group we have created around it is totally awesome!
So I'm happy to say that we are back at it, and as a result you will have more wonderful Milk Bar recipes to taunt your tastebuds.
Jacqueline eased us back in with her recipe choice, Tosi's take on a delicious Peanut Butter Cookie.

Policy Memo
By John S. Park, Associate, Project on Managing the Atom
"Amid setbacks and chronic challenges in almost every major region, Washington views South Korea as a linchpin on a global scale. From hosting the G20 summit in 2010 to preparing to host the next Nuclear Security Summit in 2012, South Korea has been establishing itself as a global partner in addressing common challenges, ranging from rebalancing the international economy to preventing the use of nuclear materials for terrorist attacks. For President Lee, the state visit is an important opportunity to demonstrate South Koreas unique role as a bridge between the developed and developing countries."

"North Korea's Leadership Succession: The China Factor"
Policy Memo
By John S. Park, Associate, Project on Managing the Atom
On September 28, North Korean state media announced that Kim Jong-il's third son, Kim Jong-eun, was promoted to the rank of four-star general just prior to the opening of the Workers' Party of Korea conference. Kim Jong-eun was later named vice chairman of the Party's Central Military Commission at the conference. These important developments follow the late August meeting between Chinese President Hu Jintao and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in Changchun, near the Sino-DPRK border, which appears to have cleared the way for this Party conference. After the meeting, both countries' state media reported the leaders' support for the rising generation of the Party a clear reference to Kim Jong-eun.

"After the Cheonan Investigation Report: What's Next?"
Policy Memo
By John S. Park, Associate, Project on Managing the Atom
"While few observers take North Korea's threat of an all-out war seriously, many experts are concerned that the sinking of the Cheonan may be indicative of a North Korea that is emboldened by its perception of itself as a nuclear power that can now carry out limited strikes without fear of large-scale retaliation."
April 2010
"The Sinking of South Korea's Naval Vessel: A Major Turning Point"
Policy Memo
By John S. Park, Associate, Project on Managing the Atom
"Many in South Korea have already reached their own conclusion the Cheonan incident is a stark reminder that North Korea remains a clear and present danger. A growing South Korean view is that more than a decade of nuclear drama, food shortages, starvation, borderline economic collapse, and currency reform debacles, followed by bailouts from progressive South Korean governments and the Communist Party of China has made the international community complacent about the direct military threat that North Korea poses. The Cheonan is a wake-up call."

Islamic apologists have attempted to bolster the credibility of their beliefs by claiming that the Bible makes reference to the coming of the prophet Muhammad. This claim comes even in the face of the prevailing Islamic contention that the Bible has been corrupted, and thus cannot be relied upon as an accurate record of God's Word. Nevertheless, at least four Bible verses are referenced, two of which I will address in this article. The reader is urged to weigh these claims in light of the exegetical evidence.
First, Muslims appeal to Isaiah 29:12—"Then the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying, 'Read this, please'; and he says, 'I am not literate.' " Muslims insist that: (a) the book referred to in this verse is the Quran; (b) the one to whom the book was delivered is Muhammad; and (c) the one who ordered Muhammad to read the book is Gabriel. They suggest that Muhammad fits the description of this individual, since Muhammad was illiterate when the angel Gabriel revealed the words of Allah to him.
To understand the context of the verse, one must remember that Isaiah, who lived in the 8th century B.C., is known as the "messianic prophet" because he prophesied so many details about Jesus—not Muhammad. Isaiah 29 is in a context in which God pronounced woes on Judah for her sins at that time, i.e., 702 B.C. The context indicates that within a year, the great Assyrian king Sennacherib would lay siege to Jerusalem in 701 B.C. (vs. 3). Jerusalem (called "Ariel") would be attacked by her enemies and punished for her sins against God, and then those enemies themselves also would receive their just desserts (vss. 4-8).
God's people were in the throes of deliberate spiritual blindness, and Judah's false prophets/seers were not helping the situation (vss. 9-10). Notice that Isaiah then described the unwillingness of the people of his day to heed the truth by comparing them to a literate person who is told to read something, but refuses, excusing himself by saying the document is sealed (vs. 11). It then is delivered to an illiterate person, but he excuses himself by saying he cannot read (vs. 12). The point is that the people of Isaiah's day refused to pay attention to God's Word as spoken through His prophets. They did not want it! Verses 13-16 explain that because of their closed minds, they would suffer for their rejection of His Word when the Assyrians arrived to besiege the city. But, as usual, God revealed a better day when people would listen (vss. 17ff.). Having examined the context, it is evident that these verses have nothing to do with Muhammad!
A second verse that Muslims brandish in support of their claims is the promise of a coming prophet in Deuteronomy 18:18—"I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him." Muslims believe that this prophet was Muhammad.
Again, a simple examination of additional biblical evidence reveals that the statement made to Moses was divinely intended to refer to Jesus Christ—not Muhammad. Shortly after the establishment of the church of Christ and the Christian religion (in A.D. 30 in Jerusalem on the first Pentecost after the death and resurrection of Jesus—Acts 2), two of the twelve apostles (Peter and John) went to the Jewish temple and healed a lame man (Acts 3:1-11). When people—out of amazement at what had happened—began to gather in large numbers, Peter used the opportunity to preach the Gospel to them (Acts 3:12-26). He made several crucial points pertaining to the person of the Christ: (1) the recently crucified Jesus was, in fact, the One Whom the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had glorified (vs. 13); (2) God had raised Him from the dead (vs. 15); (3) it was the "name" (i.e., authority/power) of Jesus, and faith in Him, that procured the miraculous healing of the lame man (vs. 16); (4) the suffering of Christ was predicted previously by God through the prophets (vs. 18); (5) at the conclusion of human history, God will send Jesus back (not any of the prophets, let alone Muhammad)—an unmistakable reference to the Second Coming of Christ that will occur immediately preceding the Judgment (vss. 20-21; cf. Romans 14:10; 2 Corinthians 5:10; 2 Thessalonians 1:7ff.). It was at this point that Peter quoted from the passage in Deuteronomy and applied it to Jesus—not Muhammad (vss. 22ff.). Peter's inspired application is unmistakable; he clearly identified Christ as the fulfillment: "God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities" (vs. 26).
Both of these verses (and the others to which Muslims appeal) may be understood with a little study and consideration of context. Those who apply these passages to Muhammad demonstrate that they possess a superficial understanding of the Bible. The truth is available for anyone who cares to examine it. But searching for the truth requires effort. Yet it can be done. As Jesus said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32).

Featured Members of Congress
On March 08, 2010 Jim Bunning was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
The retiring Sen. Jim Bunning [R, KY] thrust himself into the national spotlight in early March when he repeatedly blocked unanimous consent agreements on passing a bill to extend unemployment insurance benefits. His objection was over the Democrats' decision to designate the funding as "emergency" and exempt it from Pay-Go requirements. Bunning relented and allowed the bill to pass after Majority Leader Reid allowed for a vote on an amendment of his, which was rejected by a vote of 43-53.

This turned out to be a mistake because as soon as i flip through the channels i see Ninja Turtles and at first i thout to myself, Rad Ninja Turtles !! one of my fav shows as a kid. 10 minutes into it i knew it wasnt the same ninja turtles it was darker but not in a good way , and it just didint have the same magic as the old show .

Proctocolectomy and Ileostomy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Surgery Overview
In proctocolectomy, the Reference large intestine and rectum Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window are removed, leaving the lower end of the small intestine (the ileum). The doctor sews the anus closed and makes a small opening called a stoma in the skin of the lower abdomen. The surgical procedure to create the stoma (or any other artificial opening) is called an ostomy.
The ileum is connected to the stoma, creating an opening to the outside of the body. The surgery that creates the opening to the intestine is called an ileostomy.
Stool empties into a small plastic pouch called an ostomy bag that is applied to the skin around the stoma.

Callers urged not to use 999 during strikes
8:38am Wednesday 30th November 2011 in News
People have been warned to "think carefully before calling 999" as ambulance workers strike today.
South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust said managers, volunteers and possibly private sector workers would be manning the phones.
However the trust has asked people to consider whether they could "seek alternative assistance" from NHS Direct on 0845 4647 or visiting www.nhs.uk.
SECAmb's director of clinical operations, Andy Newton said: "Our patients are our top priority and we will do whatever we can to ensure that this action does not significantly impact on them. We would therefore ask the public to use the service wisely during this time."

At age 22 in 1941, Reiser finished second for National League MVP. In just 137 games, he had 70 extra-base hits and led the league in runs (117), batting (.343), doubles (39), triples (17), total bases, getting hit by pitches and, if they'd kept track of on-base plus slugging back then, that, too (.964).
He was as good in reality as Harper dreams of being.
Then Reiser started running into walls. He never led the league in anything again, except stolen bases a couple of times….

This is the follow up email written after the Free 15 Minute Phone Consult regarding: What can I do or take to make sure I do not lose any testosterone? I am in my mid-50's, athletic and need to increase my lean body mass.
My follow up email to Ronald following the consult:
Ronald -
Good talking with you.
I understand that you are aware that men have decreasing amounts of testosterone as we age and you want to ensure your levels do not decrease.
If you took DHEA and your hair began to fall out, I believe your testosterone levels are fine. Taking DIM to counteract the hair falling out works because you are processing the DHT which comes from Testosterone.
As you can see from this diagram, DHEA goes to Testosterone which goes to DHT.
So if you take DHEA or Testosterone directly, you will create DHT.
The only way to reduce DHT is to block the reaction or reduce the reaction from Testosterone to DHT.
This is done using DIM, Indole-3-Carbinol or medication like Finasteride.
I would not supplement wi...

Yes, these do add a really nice touch to any project, but my only little complaint is when I use this, I can see the glue aroudn the base of the 'rocks' when the item is heated up. Even when it cools down it's slightly visible. If you use this and don't look hard, you wont notice, but I'm not that kind of person. Still a very nice effect!

After facing a seven- to nine-point deficit for much of the second half, the Jackets took advantage of a couple of misses by the Hurricanes to catch up at 65-65 on Chris Bolden's 3-pointer with 4:59 left.
After Durand Scott hit one of two free throws for Miami, Bolden gave Tech its first lead since early in the first half with a layup that made it 67-66 with 3:38 remaining.
The Hurricanes responded with Julian Gamble's free throw and Scott's basket for a 69-67 lead, but Georgia Tech's Daniel Miller got wide open under the basket for an easy layup to tie it with 2:14 remaining.
Miami had the ball in the final minute with the score still tied, but Scott's attempted pass inside was picked off by Carter.
After a timeout with 28.2 seconds remaining, the Jackets worked the ball until Georges-Hunt drove across the lane. He missed, but Carter was there for the tip. The official play-by-play gave Georges-Hunt the credit, but TV replays showed it was Carter.
"It's tough," Gamble said of the loss, which is the third in the past three games for the Hurricanes. "You expect to win. You want to go out there and play with a good effort. The first half, despite being up by 11, we still didn't play the type of defense we needed to play.
"As far as the second half, you let a team get confidence like that and it's tougher and tougher to guard them down the stretch. You've got to give them a lot of credit."
Bolden led all scorers with 21 points, with his Georgia Tech teammates Miller and Carter adding 17 and 12, respectively.
Kenny Kadji led Miami with 18 points, and Scott added 17. Also in double figures for the Hurricanes were Shane Larkin with 12 and Gamble with 11.
NOTES: Georgia Tech became the third opponent in the past four games to shoot better than 50 percent from the field against Miami. The Jackets shot 51.7 for the game. Wake Forest had shot 54.2 percent, a season against Miami, in handing the Hurricanes their first ACC loss, and Duke shot 52.0 percent last Saturday. ... This was the first of two trips to the extreme ends of the ACC for the Yellow Jackets, who finish their regular season Saturday at Boston College. For the two games, the Jackets will travel 3,042 air miles. ... With the win, Tech snapped a three-game losing streak to the Hurricanes in the series.

Final stimulus vote in Senate imminent; Update: 57 yeses, three Dems still to vote
posted at 5:10 pm on February 13, 2009 by Allahpundit
The bomb's set to drop at 5:30 p.m. 60 votes or bust, right? Wrong: Sherrod Brown's in Ohio for his mother's funeral and will be flying in later, which is why Reid's planning to hold the vote open for hours after it's done. If they get to 59 at 5:30, Brown will make it official tonight; if, in a surprise show of backbone, one of the centrists defects and they land at 58, presumably there'll be a mad scramble to fly Teddy in from Florida. He's scheduled to miss the vote — for now.
While we wait, here's ProPublica's line-by-line breakdown of what's in the bill. Or, if you want just the dirty bits, try this. Live coverage is online at C-SPAN2, as usual.
Update: Because the vote's being held open for Brown, we're not going to get a final tally for hours yet. But Collins, Specter, and Snowe have all voted yes, and needless to say, no Democrat's going to torpedo The One's moment by switching. The deed is done.
Update: As of 6:20 p.m., there are 57 yes votes in the books with Bayh, Gillibrand, and of course Brown yet to show and add theirs. Done deal.

Most of you 90′s kids will know of Pokémon very well, it was a massive craze! Here's something that's been cleverly thought out about a certain Pokémon. Kangaskhan (No. 115) doesn't evolve and is only known as its 'adult' stage. Therefore its baby doesn't have its own species. All other Pokémon look exactly the same, if just smaller as babies, or it's just their pre-evolution.
So what if Cubone is Kangaskhan's pre-evolution? But in order to evolve into a Kanghaskan it needs a mother's attention. But say if the mother died, the little Cubone would take its mother's skull as protection, and a bone, then evolve all by itself into a beautiful Marowak.
You may wonder why it doesn't evolve into a Kangaskhan, well Pokémon games are well-known for items having an effect. So it's the skull on Cubone that evolves it into Marowak.
Also what about the stomach pouch on Kangaskhan's? Well a Kangaskhan is a female-only species with no male counterpart, however a baby Kangaskhan's gender is not mentioned anywhere. So Cubone's are male baby Kangaskhan's, which is why they don't have a pouch, although if these were to evolve into an adult Kangaskhan, it would become female.
So, what do you think? It's well thought through and actually makes sense… I'd like to believe this is true, and I would love the creator of Pokémon to confirm this theory!
If you like this theory, check out the Venomoth / Butterfree Theory.

How to calculate pad deformation
Could someone please show me how to calculate the deformation of a pad (ideal material with the same elasticity at all directions) under a cylinder ? Thank you very much.
Dec30-12, 04:37 PM | #2 |
This is a standard contact stress problem where have you looked?

How to calculate pad deformation
Look here, put the radius of the second cylinder = ∞
http://www.mech.utah.edu/~me7960/lec...formations.pdf |
Dec31-12, 05:07 AM | #5 |
Thank you.
But I feel like I live in a stupid world. This equation is written everywhere: [tex] \frac{1}{E} = \frac{1-υ_1^2}{E_1} + \frac{1-υ_2^2}{E_2} [/tex] But how does everyone find out this? It looks like everyone just copy this without understanding. For example check Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics I cannot understand. Where do all the equations come from? |
Dec31-12, 07:35 AM | #6 |
Studiot pointed you to a link, and discussed how what was there had your situation as a limiting case. If you don't like or understand that, be specific about what you don't like or understand. Don't just make wild accusations. |
Dec31-12, 09:03 AM | #7 |
The question is commonly addressed by mechanical engineers (as with my link).
It is also standard stuff in standard books such as Roark or Pilney If you are interested in the background then post more details of your application and interest. |
Dec31-12, 10:22 AM | #8 |
Dec31-12, 11:01 AM | #9 |
What do you want to know and at what level? |
Dec31-12, 11:15 AM | #10 |
I read the article on Wikipedia, but I didn't get where does this equation come from: [tex] \frac{1}{E} = \frac{1-υ_1^2}{E_1} + \frac{1-υ_2^2}{E_2} [/tex] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics |
Dec31-12, 11:22 AM | #11 |
What was wrong with the link I offered?
The Wiki formula is not the one you want directly. Do you understand what the symbols mean in it? |
Dec31-12, 11:50 AM | #12 |
[tex]\frac {1}{E} = \frac{1}{E_1} + \frac{1}{E_2}[/tex] E is elastic modulus. It's because we can say it's like two springs. One is the object and second is the pad. And it is almost all I know about it. I know what υ is. But I don't know how we get this. |
Dec31-12, 12:14 PM | #13 |
I really don't understand what your question is.
On the one hand you say you want to calculate the deformation. But you keep posting a formula that connects two elastic constants, Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus and does not contain an expression for deformation. Further you keep ignoring a link to an article that discusses deformations specifically on page 8. Most articles (eg Wiki) only discuss stress. In order to derive a strain or deformation you need to solve an elliptic integral or use the approximation offered. |
Dec31-12, 12:34 PM | #14 |
Ok. So how would you calculate the deformation of a pad if you put an cylinder on it. How would you calculate the distribution of normal force along the curvature?
Dec31-12, 01:08 PM | #15 |
As Studiot has pointed out, what you are looking for is in that link. No, it doesn't go line by line on the derivation, but you should be able to work backwards to see where it came from.
Read through that link again, all pages, and if you still don't understand, come bak and ask. |
Dec31-12, 04:35 PM | #16 |

My involvement with this subject has been through the design, implementation and failure investigations of bridge roller bearings supporting many thousands of Tonnes.
You will find all you could ever need including discussions and analysis at various levels in Contact Mechanics by Johnson (Cambridge University Press) I do not propose to post further in this thread. |

Over the past few years, Herrick, Feinstein LLP has implemented a variety of initiatives and programs that demonstrate our commitment to diversity, specifically as it relates to our community involvement. The spirit of our commitment is captured in our policy which guides all that we do, including the service providers we chose and the vendors whom we engage:
We embrace diversity in our profession. We encourage persons of diverse sex, race, color, ethnicity, religion, national origin, marital status, transgender or sexual orientation, gender, age, gender expression and identity, ancestry, parental status and disability:
Diversity enriches our fundamental culture of respect and encouragement for the individual attorney, and for inclusion of the individual within the family which is our firm. Diversity enhances our ability to understand our clients and to serve them better. Diversity is therefore a core value informing Herrick's policies and practices for the recruitment, training, retention and promotion of attorneys.
The following are some of the highlights of the work we have accomplished.
Herrick now has a strong Women's Initiative Committee. A sub-committee of women partners, counsel and associates launched out of the Diversity Committee, the Women's Initiative Committee has created mentor circles for the women attorneys at the Firm and has begun a partnership with Dress for Success (an organization that promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life) including hosting multiple Dress for Success Suit Drives. The Committee also sponsors both formal and informal gatherings for the Firm's women attorneys, such as a showing of the documentary "Miss Representation" (a movie about how the media portrays women) followed by dinner and a discussion.
Over the past few years, the Firm has brought in outside consultants to conduct mandatory, interactive firm-wide diversity training for attorneys.
Herrick has also instituted a Cultural Heritage Speaker Series in which different speakers come to the Firm to deliver presentations on various cultures. We have hosted a variety of speakers including Jennifer 8. Lee, author of The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, who spoke about her quest to understand the history of American Chinese food and the people who made it, Zachary Carter, Esq., who spoke in honor of Black History Month, Tom Ude from Lambda Legal, who spoke in honor of GLBT pride month, Michael Rosen, who spoke about his book, What Else But Home: Seven Boys and an American Journey Between the Projects and the Penthouse, Carol Robles-Roman, the deputy Mayor and the highest ranking Latina in New York City government, who spoke about her career, Min Jin Lee author of the Free Food for Millionaires,who spoke about growing up as a Korean immigrant first in Queens, and then later in college, in law school and as a writer, and Rhonda Joy McLean, the Deputy GC at Time Inc., and author of The Little Black Book of Success who spoke about her experience as one of three black girls in her grade school, her time practicing as a lawyer, and advice she had for others in navigating law firm life, regardless of race.
This year was our first year working with Legal Outreach - a program that, through a rigorous application process, takes high school students and works with them on life skills as well as academics and law throughout their four years of high school. Four of these students spent a week at Herrick at the end of July. We had teams of coaches who met and worked with the students to get them ready for a Moot Court style oral argument held on the last day. These students were fantastic - smart, tenacious, thoughtful, and our attorneys really enjoyed working with them.
In 2012, we also started an Affinity Group for our LGBT attorneys. Led by a partner and an associate, the LGBT Affinity Group held meetings, and sponsored an event at the Stonewall Inn where an attorney gave a brief discussion about the riots and the history of Stonewall, after which everyone enjoyed a drink at the bar to celebrate the end of Gay Pride Week.
For the past three years, Herrick has partnered with the Korean American Lawyers Association of Greater New York ("KALAGNY") to host a Resume and Mock Interview Workshop for law students who belong to the organization.
Lastly, Herrick has, for many years, partnered with Practicing Attorneys for Law Students Programs ("PALS"), a group that provides career and skills development for minorities in the legal profession. Herrick attorneys actively mentor minority law students through this program, and the Firm has sponsored and volunteered at many events for this group such as their 25th Anniversary Celebration and their annual Resume and Interview Skills Workshop which they put on for minority law students across the tri-state area.

I am in, whats the average Dwarven life span?
The old woman peered at the hotchpotch company in front of her. "So, yer lookin' fer adventure, ain't ya?" She was rumoured to be wise and slightly magical. You sure couldn't tell when you stumbled over her in a dark alley! Still, the big, sharp gaze of the woman made those in front of her cringe with discomfort.
"Those thangs're mostly lethal...", she murmured. Meeting blank stares, the wise woman elaborated: "Adventure! Dangerous thangs..." Still, the company assembled in front of her bristled with weapons and she even spotted one of those fancy wizardry hats. Perhaps they might be all right. "Well, then. 'Ave it yer way", she grumbled. With that she casually pointed at a huge cupboard against the far wall. "Thru the door, into the 'allway. Then second to las' door on the left".
Well then: this is a Medieval fantasy adventure. I'm not one for elaborate rules. You can choose one of the basic fantasy races, one of those well known professions. You know, dwarven ballet dancers, elven coopers and pixie melee warriors. Things like that. If you wanna go down a more obscure route, just post a cs and I'll judge it by it's merits. I don't mind characters with a bit of life experience, with some power. So, lets not all be good looking 18 year olds.
The doorway you're about to enter through will catapult you to a far off place on the world. You'll get the chance to scalp pygmee warriors, eat the meat of a warthog and gain more wealth than you can envision.
The above scene is not the opening scene - or you all wish it to be. But why skip the opportunity to get to know each other beforehand? I'll conjure up a grand location with meeting-up potential.
So, if you're interested read the rules copy the cs-template and post a character.
Last edited by Agta; 01-22-2013 at 01:05 PM. Reason: pasted IC in
I will most definitely be getting a CS up today. This looks lighthearted and fun :]
Hmm...I know its a medieval fantasy, but for whatever reason, this makes me want to make a steampunk type character. Which is a completely different genre. I don't even.
I'll join if I'm able. Should have a CS up sometime later today hopefully.
Name: Simon Ferdinand
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance: Simon is fairly short compared and is not very muscular compared to other people he has blonde hair, and both his eyes are mainly blue but have green mixed in and his left eye has a faint golden tinge to it. He wears glasses but they have no lenses and a red cape over a white shirt and trousers.
Personality: During conflict Simon prefers to stay at the back and cast spells, he is a cautious man who puts himself first but likes to think he contributes to the group, he's most definitely not a leader and he would probably trip a teammate up to slow down a hoard of goblins. Despite his flaws Simon is a friendly person with a good heart who is never unpleasant towards other people and can't lie to save his life.
History: From a young age Simon always wanted to be a knight, he grew up hearing stories of their brave deeds and glorious adventures...Unfortunately he lacked the upper body strength and the lower body strength and the coordination, he lacked a lot of things and was unable to become a knight. But don't feel too bad for him, this rejection lead him to take the path of a mage which was his second choice all along. Simon began training in a budget mage college aged 15 and stayed there for two years before growing board and finding his way into the adventure's traveling party.
Notable equipment: Elemental staff (see picture), basic spell tomes, training gloves, family's valuable rings.
I kind of made up some stuff and made some assumptions about the world for my CS, hope it's all good with you GM.
Name: Beau Barnes
Species: Halfling
Gender: Male
Age: 26 (looks can be deceiving)
Beau Barnes is a very feminine young man who cherishes this trait. For the Halfling loves nothing more than to imagine himself as his own porcelain doll; dressing in the newest and finest silks he can find, of which a royal blue color is typically chosen to bring out the color of his eyes.
His vanity itself stands alone as his greatest character flaw by far. Still, it also adds more problems to the Halfling's irksome ways. When one tries as hard as Beau does to look his best, they obtain quite a few mortal enemies – sweat, dirt, and grime to name a few. Beau is not necessarily germophobic; he just detests looking anything but his best. And for that, he tends to step lightly and avoid the puddles of rainwater upon the road. Regardless of such hazards presented along the way, the potential rewards of traveling (gems, silks, riches) prevail in Beau's twisted mind and continue to push him along the dirt path.
Due to his vanity, Beau can act quite immature and, in combination with his appearance, can often be mistaken for a much younger age. While the Halfling is very self absorbed, it is in appearance only; he does not consider himself any better a being than any of his fellow travelers. He tends to be friendly and quite talkative and loves to feel appreciated in whatever way he can, whether it be opening doors and locks for others, or attending to any injuries or maladies they may have incurred. While rather odd, Beau can be even considered quite the pleasant company for those who can see past his immature and quirky ways. [
Notable equipment:
Beau always carries his own fashioned lock picking devices upon himself in various places. His rather large robe sleeves conceal many tools of the craft as well. A small satchel at his side houses selected herbs for treating various injuries and maladies.
Gregory Goldengear
Species: Gnome
Gender: Male
Age: 118 (uses illusions to make himself look younger)
He stands a mighty eighteen inches tall and eighteen pounds. His facial features he likes to play with day by day with simple illusions, full man and blue beard one day then bald with maroon muttonchops the next. He can change his features but his size is static. He wears leather armor full of useful things with a pair of sure gripping boots and two separate gloves to hide the large T's branded all over him, each time he was caught thieving he was given a brand to mark him for his crimes he was caught performing with current count of 21 brands.
Personality: quirks, fears and desires make your character unique.
WIP: So far he has an unnatural fear of cats from an incident with a wizards familiar and an un-healthy obsession for female half-orcs.
'My life is a short story, when you ask a witch to be a gnome that's 18 inches long you better be more specific.' In truth he chose to have himself made smaller on purpose because it made him a better thief, not 'locksmith specialist' but an out and out thief. Yes it meant he had to sacrifice carrying so much stuff, but he thought of it a quality over quantity. Over a century of stealing has left him with many useful items over the years but nothing has tempered his fascination and study of magic but he is banned from ever learning magic after a fiasco involving a young boy with a lightning scar on his forehead. Thankfully that ban never said anything about magic items...
Notable equipment:
Mark 02 Design: Wand Magnification Dragoon
A...device used by him to carry two wands in a single two handed device rather than a wand in each hand, it can break into two parts for ease of storage so yes, he carries a two handed device that breaks into two parts so he doesent carry one in each hand... Gnomish logic at its best.
The device holds one magic wand and one metamagic rod to adjust the spell from the wand. Currently he has a weak wand of soul bolts with a rod of maximization so that every shot is a static full damage.
He wears leather armor lined with the inside of a magicians robes
He wears a pair of sure gripping boots
His gloves are a matched set he won from a duelist wizard with a penchant for the dramatic.
