Since roark is cruelly forcing me to do this the standard way, here is your out of character thread to clutter up my bookmarks with another link. Enjoy.
So disregard the things that were said in the IC thread and post your character sheets up here. All hell breaks loose Thursday. Or when all the characters are in. Whichever comes first.
I will put up the statistics for your Lair and your Astral Skiff in this post.
''So this knife is very good at separating the flesh from the bone and severing the tendons...'' Do you have to say it like that? ''Well, how else am I supposed to say it?'' I don't know...you could say "it's good for butchering." ''When did the word "butchery" become a euphemism?''

Riley was a normal devil, going through school and never appriciating what people did for me. However, Riley got picked on by a bully for standing up for a friend, and had to go to the hospital. Stygia felt that Riley would make a great peon, so he gave Riley a sliver of power. Riley enjoyed this new found power, and help as many people as he could, while spreading his faith in his leader to any who would listen.
Eben's current life began when he incarnated in a ruined shrine to Erathis deep in the slums of the city of Sanail. He had confused memories of fighting against the primordials and, among them, one stood out: he had fought alongside the forces of Asmodeus. He began researching the origin of his abilities as an Invoker and learned, to his initial horror, that - at least in this life - he was marked as a servant of the Lord of the Nine Hells.
His new life proved challenging to hold on to, and his remembered principles useless in a city ruled by a tyrant. Eventually, Eben joined the Five Black Crows, a band of monster-hunting adventurers. After several successes against creatures others couldn't best, they learned that someone was sneaking creatures into the city, apparently for little more than the joy of watching the havoc they created when loosed. After some investigation, they resolved to kill the city's ruler, known to the populace as the Lord Hangman; it seemed that he was at the root of their troubles.
Eben had learned more than the others, and not shared all of it: the Lord Hangman was the puppet of a devil whose plan was to turn the city into a breeding-ground for the desperate souls who are the foundation of the Nine Hells. Jaded by the misery around him and determined to find out what had happened in his past lives, Eben bought passage to Avernus with the blood of his comrades. Now he seeks entrance to the copper library of Taj Bari.
Here is my character complete. If there are any questions or any suggestions to make him better I'm all ears! He is currently a single target mbt(main battle tank!) If we want to up him to multi target let me know, but I think this will work nicely for now. I'll let roark deal with the multis and I'll just bluff them into attacking me! :P

A sub commander in mephistopheles' army, Malach has fought, driven and worked his way to the position he is in now. His ambitions are to one day personally command mephistopheles personal elite guard. While he is mostly quiet, he is some what cocky, excitable and reckless in battle with the firm belief that he can not be beaten (as he hasn't yet, that he is going to admit to any how.) In battle he loves to taunt his opponents into either forcing them into a more advantageous position for him, or causing them to lose their cool and possibly drop their guard where he strikes relentlessly. As reckless as he maybe though underlies an amazing cunning that has outwitted many a devil, and has turned the tide more than a few times. He is tall and while not very muscular, he has learned to "throw" his weight around to much effect. When he isn't commanding his own troops, he leaves things in charge to his second and consort, a charming succubus to keep things in line. He is the sub commander of the fortresses defenses when he is not on away missions.
Edit: for his background think a slightly quieter duke nukem!
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
Pilot The pilot must stand at a control wheel at the rear of the astral skiff. Crew In addition to the pilot, an astral skiff requires a crew of three, all of whom use a standard action each round to control the skiff. Reduce the skiff ’s fly speed by 4 squares for each missing crew member. At fly speed 0, the astral skiff sails out of control.
Load: Ten Medium creatures; one ton of cargo.

Other Information -Your astral skiff is normally piloted and crewed by four infernal armor animates. They do not need to rest.

Background: Jezebeth lived out his mortal days in the shadows, content to make quick friends but be attached to no one. An airy and noncommittal character, he was once a member of the Harrowing Swarm guild, but he was only in it for the money. He turned a blind eye to the more vicious of the guild’s dealings. He made good money as a simple pickpocket, or working as a hired guard. He left the guild after growing bored of following orders. He was killed weeks later by an assassin, stabbed in the back, he fell to his death off of a siege wall. When his body hit the ground, his soul just kept going. Having never bothered to do anything good, but also no true evil, he was placed in Limbo. But he quickly grew tired of sitting around bored for eternity, and made a pact with a demon to allow him to descend further into the Nine Hells. For Jezebeth, anything was better than eternal boredom.
Description/Personality: In his traveling through the Nine Hells, Jezebeth has lost much of his sense of self. He rarely speaks, and is unnaturally silent in his affairs, preferring to remain dark, mysterious, and haunting. Not that he is uncooperative, but he isn’t exactly an extrovert.
Jezebeth is average height, with black, smooth skin that seems to shift like liquid in the shadows. Two short black horns adorn his head, and his facial features are constantly impassive and frighteningly intense at the same time. He has no pupils, yet his stare has quelled even the fiercest sinners.

I'm going on vacation 'til the 26th tomorrow. I should still be able to post due to the wonders of smart-phone technology, but I'll be out of range of books, so expect my actions to be uncomplicated at best. I'll take a copy of Eben's vital numbers with me so I'm up to date. We might consider adopting FF6Shadow's combat statblock for this game, too.
That's fine if you'd like to do that. Statblocks are kind of useful. Ottakun is busy so we'll start without him. On we go.
Oh and can I ask you to try to use sblocks for any out of character speech within the in character thread? It would help prevent me from making mistakes if I didn't have to take the time to distinguish between ooc and in-character dialogue. I do also have this shiny hardly been used out of character thread for you guys also. If we're going to be using this thread we might as well start getting some use out of it. Just a suggestion. A suggestion which may be accompanied by the image of my bloodshot, quivering eye leveraging a disconcerting ogle at your own. For just slightly too long.
