Deep in the Taurian Forests, an ancient evil stirs, the dark, twisted lich Moria. He raises an army of the undead, desecrating the once pure forests. His zombies and wights kill and destroy all in their path, and eventually besiege the city of Cormalla, the capital of Tauria, the High Council of Elders sends word by falcon to all reaches of the globe for help, few respond. It is up to a small group of Taurian rangers and independent adventurers to free the forests from the hold of Moria.

Gender: Male
Age: 22
Race: Plains human
Affiliation: The Skeli Tribe (one of the Plains Tribes), Priest of the Helmse
Occupation: Hunter-gatherer, priest
Physical Details: Small dick, weak heart
Weapons: Two obsidian blade tomahawks, a bow with sixteen arrows
Apparel: Heavy cured leather upper body armor. A series of empty nut shells make a set of shaking 'instruments' attached to his ankles, designed to frighten when used en-masse. His clothing is made of leather that isn't toughened, and horse and other animal hides. His helmet is the modified skull of the fearsome helmse beast, which he has killed. He has a cape made from helmse fur.
Items: Helmse teeth necklace, various charmed rocks (may or may not work, kind of a weak plot device, up to GM, most rocks cannot be charmed, only works on some rocks, about 1/2000 but obsidian can always be charmed), pack with food and a blanket, his horse with pack for food and other materials for it, three cured leather water bags, war paint (blue and a greenish-grey).
Personality: He is a proud Skeli tribesman, son of the great leader Sky Light, and as such has a slightly higher position over everybody else, as his father still retains leadership. Though the Skeli do not endorse others due to their birth origin, Dancing Hawk has become arrogant and prideful as the slight fame has gone to his head. However, for those he cares he will burn the world, and very few outside of his tribe are cared for by him.
Skills: Navigation, hunting, prayer/magic, food gathering, hunt stalking, archery
History: He was born to Sky Light and Singing Water. He was raised to be a proud member of his tribe, and he has become so, though slightly more arrogant than his brothers and sisters. The Skeli tribe is only a few hundred strong, and every 'family' member calls the older hunters 'grand-father' or 'grand-mother' and every other hunter 'brother' or 'sister'. Dancing Hawk took on the challenge of becoming a Priest of the Helmse, and had to go live with them, then take one of their lives and return alive himself. He did, and became one of sixteen. He fought in the three, each two years, Plains Wars as a young warrior and has faced off with the iron-clad knights of the expanding Gener Kingdom, and pushed them back. The Plains tribes then attacked south towards the Gener Kingdom, raiding their towns and castles and burning them to the ground. Now, with the blood of the Gener staining the grounds, their people either sacrificed to the gods or scattered to the four winds, the tribes gather for a meeting. The Forest of Tauria lies south, and the Plains Tribes might just have to face what is within.

Full Name: Selena Tokoroto
Nicknames: Lena
Appearance: At 6''1', Selena is not the tallest of her race, but her lithe frame lends her a grace that entrances many. Her dark hair, usually braided, is the result of her dark-elf mother, who also lent her a marble complexion. Most of the time, Selena observes the world from half-hooded, hazelnut eyes. Her armour is highly ornate.

Gender: Female
Age: 37
Race: Half High Elf, half Dark Elf
Affiliation: Tokoroto Dynasty
Occupation: High Sorceress / Mercenary. (High in this context not meaning the title, but a level of skill)
Physical Details: Selena has three tattoo's, one across her left shoulder depicting a wing, one on her right thigh depicting an ornate spiral pattern and one behind her ear.
Weapons: 2-handed sword that she wields in her left hand. 3 knives hidden about her person.
Apparel: Ornate enchanted armour in Japanese style capable of taking some heavy punishment. Otherwise she wears hunting leggings and a leather jacket.
Items: Some currency, food, a large book with a highly decorative cover, quills and ink. She also owns a garter of gems that she has around her upper right arm, hidden by clothing.
Personality: Selena is an intense, quiet individual who spends most of her time observing the world around her. In serious debates, she is not afraid to put forward her opinion and argue her case, but she prefers to stay on the side-lines if possible. With friends, she is relaxed but somewhat aloof.
Skills: Incredibly gifted with her two-handed sword, and very graceful and agile. Her battle-style is flowing and rapid, encompassing elements of dancing and various martial arts as well as free-running. She has a very quick, analytically-based mind, and can sing with a beautiful captivating voice. Her magic is powerful and offensively based with an abstract twist, allowing her to produce incredible displays of lights and destruction or focused attacks through her sword.
History:

Selena was born into the Tokoroto dynasty 37 years previously. Due to her lineage, she was at first shunned from many her age, instead turning to literature and arts as well as perfecting her own particular style of fighting. At the age of 17, she left the Dynasterial halls of her hometown in Jaa'sephli to travel, and spent the next 5 years of her life wandering the realms of man.

Just before she turned for home, Selena encountered a man in similar armour to that which she now wears. He offered her training, allowing her own style to move from proficient to deadly. When she left, he gifted her the highly stylized custom-made blade she wields to this day. She takes family allegiance very seriously, often acting as the head of the shady family branch that tackles security.

On her travels she made several friends in Cormalla, and when news reached her of the actions taken by Moria she immediately set out to aid the High Council.

Full Name: Arthur Mornin
Nicknames: Sir Mornin
Appearance: (https://wintreath.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zems.com%2Fforums%2Fattachments%2Fmedia-gallery%2F212d1295780091-%255Bgray-creature-human%255D-irulian-knight-noble_knight_final_render.jpg&hash=ad203b88755427b2f14ae396ea388a52)
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Race: Human
Affiliation: The Knights of the Serpent, a vague order with only a handful of knights.
Occupation: A knight
Physical Details:
Weapons: A simple sword and shield with a serpent emblem on it.
Apparel: He has two sets of armor. One for battle, which is plate mail, and a ceremonial piece which is decorated in case he has to make an appearance.
Items: Books, some yarn, knitting needles, and a vial of green sand.
Personality: Sir Mornin is not your typical knight. Although an excellent fighter. He has social problems and is very quirky. He is oblivious to other's feelings and shows some serious signs of OCD. Such as cleaning his armor ever night before bed, Keeping his tent facing north, always keeping his sword in his lap at 180 degrees, and says a silent prayer to an unknown god for every meal.
Skills: Ser Mornin is an excellent fighter and investigator. He is good at gathering information and tracking down people.
History: Ser Mornin grew up in a small town. His dad was a farmer and his mother was simply a low-born woman born to farmer. Nothing special, except one day his village was caught in the crossfire between two armies from separate kingdoms. His village was in the middle of a battle. His family watched in horror as men were slaughtered on their farm. Luckily, the whole family survived but this proved to be the last straw for Mornin. He was already tired of living like a pauper so he went outside, found a suit of armor from a dead soldier that fit, and left home to find his own destiny.

He became inducted into a small band of knights that acted as local police men called: The Knights of the Serpent. He joined up with them and eventually became a lieutenant. They went after robbers, murderers, etc. The group has since disbanded and is known among small towns as an urban legend. However, one member remains...Sir Mornin... unable to cope with the fact that most of his friends got bored or died, he clings to the only thing that gave him any sense of glory or honor. He is simply a lone knight serving a dead order.

Full Name: Carduneglin
Appearance:(https://wintreath.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-l-GJnBdW2cw%2FTshPvfev6mI%2FAAAAAAAAAwE%2FBU_YxRtCz0s%2Fs1600%2FElf%252Bwizard.jpg&hash=6a581e987daf6965457a9fccf38b05ac)
Gender: Male
Age: 87
Race: Elf
Affiliation: Order Arcanus
Occupation: Wizard
Physical Details: Not the strongest of fellows Carduneglin is however quiet and quite graceful. 
Weapons: Carduneglin carries a dagger and a quarterstaff which doubles as a walking stick
Apparel: He wears a heavy white cloak around his shoulders and a necklace which is one of his magical focuses.
Items: His spell book, ink, pen, paper, maps, a magical pendant necklace, and a journal.
Personality: Carduneglin can be a bit unfriendly to other races but he is professional and intelligent. Carduneglin seeks knowledge above all else and anything that helps him practice and understand magic. He is very well educated and looks down on others who are less intelligent than himself. He finds himself tempted by dark magics with their promises of eternal life and knowledge of the twisted sides of magic. 
Skills: Carduneglin specializes in the use of arcane magic. He primarily uses elemental offensive spells but he also has skill in illusions. He also is well-versed in history, and languages.
History: Sent to the Order Arcanus at a very young age, Carduneglin took to his studies and now barely remembers his life before. The life of a Guild Mage is spent in solitude, studying the arcane formulae. While Carduneglin cared little for riches and material wealth he was fascinated by the accounts of ancient tombs and the wealth of knowledge collected inside them. Carduneglin began sneaking out late at night to accompany travelling adventurers in their raids of the nearby barrows. They found his magic useful and Carduneglin was rewarded with the knowledge of the long-dead. Several times these antics almost resulted in Carduneglin being expelled from the Order, but his obvious intelligence and the artifacts and knowledge he recovered were enough to win the High Mages' approval. When word reached the Order of the return of Moria and the plight of Cormalla, Carduneglin proposed leading an expedition. This was immediately shot down by the High Mages and so in the black of night Carduneglin once again sneaked  out, this time never to return.

Full Name: Leonard "Leo" Nomeruda
Nicknames: Rat
Appearance: He is about average tall, with a quite athletic stature. His clothes are more rags than clothes but still seem to do their job. The blue eyes of him are allways watching thinkfully and the scar through is left eye can truly not been unseen. He does not appear to give a fuck about his mid-long brown hair or unshaved beard. But the black hat seems to be quite important, as it is compared to the rest of the equiment in almost flawless shape. The sword he is wearing on his belt seems very special, at it is a cutlass.

Age: 28
Race: Human

Occupation: Sailor, Smuggler
Physical Details: See above in character description.
Weapons: A dagger and a cutlass
Apparel: Leather bracers, Leather boots,  Leather gloves, Sailor's Dress, a black hat
Items: His bag, filled with.. oh dem.. nothing!
Personality: He may not appear this way, but actually he's a guy wearing his heart on the right spot. Most time he is punishing his suroundings with his grimm face and thinkfull pose. Actually, he doesn't seem to know how he ended up being at the place he actually is. He may did things that have been against the law or the interessts of some powerful people, but he did it for the helpless. Actually his biggest coup was to smuggle tons of food into a besiged city. But as we all know, fucking around with some mighties never goes well. And loosing your beloved sloop and be doomed to suffer as landlubber without occupation and purpose, while still having strong enemies to wish you being dead.. well YOU WOULD BE PISSED TOO!
Skills: Common (language), appreciate value, navigate (on water), climbing, swimming, swordfight (cutlass), trade, read (common), search, notice, track, woodcraft (for maintaining boats), ropemaking (for maintaining boats), sewing, hide, athletics (run/jump etc.)

(I'd like to try something different here. :P )

Full Name: Fulgripthgth
Nicknames: (wife-woman calls Lazyshit)
Appearance: Since this is an "unlikely hero" I'll just try to give some physical details; a run-down, but sturdy, not handsome, drunkard peasant.
Gender: Male
Age: 42 (already an oldie by medieval standarts)
Race: Human
Affiliation: is a peasant of a greedy local petty landlord
Occupation: potato farmer (or any crop farmer in case potatoes don't exists here)
Physical Details: rough, unpleasant, unrefined but physically strong and endurant simpleton
Weapons: just some random farming tool
Apparel: regular clothes (rags)
Items: some local alcohol and a whip to beat his unloved children ( :D )
Personality: Hates. Hates his wife, hates his many children and hates his petty landlord. Hates his neighbors, hates the priest and of course hates his Lord. Oh and how he hates his life... Aside from being a sorry and angry ass he hates working, especially taking care of his family or house, but! He loves animals, especially pigs, boars and the like. Never bathes, never takes care of himself but actually spends a lot of time off-fields chopping firewood. Maybe this skill could come handy somewhere...? Sometimes he spends free time roaming the forest, who knows what he does there...
Skills: Farming, chopping stuff to smaller stuff, pig husbandry, some herbal lore, some navigation in the forests, some scary and profane local legends (lore-ish), unarmed combat (beating his family when drunk AND not drunk), improved stamina and endurance, extremely low inter-personal skills.
History: Fulgripthgth was born in a poor and opressed family and nearly copied his father's personality and manners. He spent his life being abused, ignored and often drunk. Sex is just an accidental act for him (although frequent, violent and... unusually fertile!). Love is unknown for him and manners have avoided him for no one ever liked him. Being so unsociable and hateful to humans led Fulgripthgth to spend some more extra time he ever had away from hard labor roaming the forest, observing, feeling, getting to know things. There he admired the pack life of boars and later when he got some at home, pigs. Lately, he hears some insistant voice in his head to go do strange things, things the name of which he doesn't know. An angry, impatient but resilient voice that he tries to drink away, perhaps some evil warlock calls for him to do his bidding...?  :o ::)

My idea (spoilers ahead) is to create a calamity in a forest following an evil mage's commands and help evil spread... further complications are an option for the "good guys". You see, my "character" is not just "different", "not so heroic" but neither evil in himself. He's just a simpleton facing more powerful players like mages and evil abominations.

Full Name: Nova Arrakis Polaris
Nicknames: Servant; Inca; Ephemeral Warrior
Appearance:
Spoiler

Gender: Is shown as having a masculine persona, but has no true defined gender(or, better stated, Nova's gender is fluid)
Age: As far as actual continuously "living" undead, rather young...roughly 300 years or so...(However remains eternally early twenties)
Race: Undead Warrior/Incubi
Affiliation: The lich Moria
Occupation: A mercenary (not payed in gold, but payed in pacts and favors, and, if by pact, usually the person must give up something of themselves)
Physical Details: Has a rather long dark red spear-headed tail, eyes are bright violet, slightly bigger canines, has a tribal band on left shoulder, and a series of written foreign letters in different parts of the body where clientele have signed for service.
Weapons: A shield with Nova's insignia; poisoned (only mild) dagger that hangs from waist
Apparel: If he can't go nude, then a pair of tight leather pants.
Items: Besides weapons, a bejeweled anklet of gold and hellish precious gems.
Personality: Nova has a very hedonistic nature. Nova enjoys the pleasures of the world to the extreme. Nova is also a very artistic being. Whether it comes to painting, fighting, or torturing, Nova takes great care to add a bit of flair and artistic personality. If one were first to meet Nova, you would see carefree, happy, a small amount of  innocence, and a harmless flirt. Nova is this, but when one finds out the things Nova has done they would rather not be around for too long...
  Nova is also utterly in the hands of whoever Nova is serving. Their words are Novas short destiny. However, Nova has a habit of playing with the prey, and he takes as much initiative as needed to please himself. If Master were to die or release from obligation, Nova no longer will feel compelled to do what he was doing. However, the Master better have payed Nova the promise.
  Being also an incubi, Nova specializes in seduction and the other arts of that kind. Nova is also greatly manipulative and sadistic, having a very high mind for tortuous methods and calculative measures of destruction.
  Nova, however, can develop deep, passionate loves for certain people. This wouldn't stop Nova from disobeying Masters orders, but it will change the way Nova acts them out, and Nova will try many things to keep from having to harm the person.
  Nova is also highly charismatic and knows the Lore of the land, as living for three centuries has allowed Nova these insights.
Skills: Languages; Seduction; Torture Methods; Sex; Self-Preservation; Stealth; Swordsmanship; Dagger use; Poison knowledge; Lore and History; Slight Undead power
History: Nova was "born" roughly three centuries ago through an ancient right made by a rather powerful necromancer at the time. Nova had been trapped with the ephemeral realm for reasons that Nova cannot remember for certain. However, Nova knew how to act when meeting the necromancer, and quickly signed a blood pact that the necromancer gave up her voice for Novas service. Nova helped her secure her land holding, till, while Nova was out tracking down several rogue minions, she was slaughtered.
  Now that Nova was free for the first time, he quickly adapted, making way from city to capital to village, eating, sleeping, having sex, killing and torturing from time to time, and making some rather amazing pieces of art. Of course, word soon spread of his existence, and, suddenly, he was being asked by a multitude of masters...both the supposed "good" and "bad"...for his services.
  Since I'd rather not go into three hundred years of this, lets just say Nova has been under many Masters and done many things. Some notable examples was the in helping the establishment of the Tokoroto dynasty, the advancement of several different tribes during the Plain wars at once (not pretty), the assassinations, tortures, and murders of the entire royal family of Deskarb, has sired about 15 children(both as the impregnator and the impregnated)(all pretty much dead at the moment), and apparently, at one point, married Elf Lord Bresdon of Southern Croao (they had a wonderful time...until Nova had to poison him....very saddening). Also tons of other stuff I will hint at IC.
  Recently, Nova has come under the allegiance of lich Moria, and was just at the helm of the beseige of Cormalla...what-ever happens next is up too the lich to say...


  Yeah...I just really wanted to create a character like this....hope it's okay Nox...though it will involve some working togethers XD

Appearance: Suller has the body of a gymnast. More built for maneuverability then for strength. His hands have interesting features with long slender fingers and tipped points as if they were designed to be more useful for building small things.
Gender: Male.
Age: This life, about the age of 17.
Race: Samsaran
Occupation: Tinker, clockmaker.
Weapons: A simple staff made of a sturdy wood and inlaid with beautiful pieces of metal.
Apparel: Suller tries most often to wear as little as possible finding most clothes to simply hinder the movements which keep him alive. But as he does understand social norms he wears some barelyshorts and a very loose shirt, when required to.
Items: Suller usually carries a messenger bag filled with any interesting or useful thing he could think to pick up. From little tiny metal springs to chestnuts.
Personality: A reclusive man. He far prefers the world of the ticking and the waiting then the infinitely complex world of humans. A good man, at heart. Though he often seems rude and ill meaning to people who don't know him.
Skills: An excellent mechanic. He also has spent much of his life testing and pushing his body in attempts to become more like the machines he adores. A clever mind that is good at seeing how things fit together and work.
History: Will be added later. Don't have the time or attention right this second, my apologies. He'll be a good guy. Likely isolated in some strange place. Kinda my favorite thing.

Apparel: She normally wears robes that come down to her ankles while being able to reach for her sword from within. Underneath, she wears thin chain armour and usually relies on speed and swordsmanship to dodge and deflect attacks, and her abilities to help when that fails.
Items: Other than her weapons, Lyrao carries nothing more than the rations and money she needs to survive.
Personality: Calm and friendly, Lyrao tends to move towards the supporting part of the party rather than lead events, and is happy just to help others survive. However, she sometimes gets overlooked as she tends to like keeping a low profile. She's also sometimes far too trusting of others, and it has lead her into a few problems in the past.
Skills: Lyrao is skilled both in swordsmanship and in the art of healing magic, and in these two skills she excels, as she has completely focussed her attention here. She is also fairly skilled in navigation, but only knows the common language well, can swim and climb only at basic levels, and has no construction skills.
History: (Your character's story. How were they raised? How did they get to where they are? This is the place to include information on how your character attained certain skills, association with certain groups, etc.) Lyrao was born and raised in the company of High Elf battle mages. She excelled in all her classes, achieving high grades in nearly everything, but when she got to 12 years old, her division was attacked by Orcs. She was the only survivor, and after days of travel found herself at a human village some distance from her old home.

There, she was taken in and raised by a couple who, at her insistence, helped to continue her training in fighting with her sword. In exchange, she agreed to help the village doctor, and she soon became a pivotal figure in the village, both helping to defend and heal those within it. By the time she was 18, she had mastered the style of swordsmanship the village offered, one that focussed on speed and deflecting your opponents strength, and had become adept at healing all kinds of ailments. She was awarded the steel sword she still wields, engraved with the name of the village.

It was only when she recieved the plea for help from Tauria did she finally agree to leave the village in search of adventure, and to defend and heal those she would help along the way.

I'll try something new, considering that my character I used the time I played DnD is almost exactly a male version of Drexyl's character. :P

Full Name: Theroc Mountainborn
Nicknames: "The Rock", Rocky, "Hey, you", Big Guy, Paladin
Appearance: Like any good paladin, Theroc is enormous and muscular and wears heavy plate mail and a serious expression. His complexion is dark, like the mountains he came from, and his messy hair is silver (the grayish-silver of well-aged hair, not literal silver).
Gender: Male
Age: 30-ish
Race: Human
Affiliation: None whatsoever. He only fights for justice and "right."
Occupation: Paladin
Weapons: His shield and his fists
Apparel: Wears simple clothing of a color appropriate for the environment over his plate mail.
Items: Rope, his shield, a light mess kit
Personality: Theroc acts macho and grim, but he became a paladin to protect people, and so he has a softness for the defenseless. Also, he takes great pride in his cooking and really cares about people's opinions of it. Finally, he detests water that is collected in more mass than a large puddle. As such, he does not swim except when his or others' lives depend on it.
Skills: Fighting, Cooking, Hunting (but with a peculiar method), Rope-Tying, Climbing, and a bit of healing
History: Growing up in the mountains of Gronn, Theroc grew up in relative safety. This, of course, is accurate only if "relative safety" includes dizzying heights, vicious aerial predators, and harsh coming-of-age trials. Theroc, being a naturally sturdy (large) and battle-ready (ornery) child, excelled in this life, learning a great deal and rising in the ranks with his mountain-dwelling people. Unfortunately for Theroc, his excellence in battle led to an increasingly arrogant attitude, which, in turn, led to his confrontation with a dragon. The dragon, which was commonly known to live in a cave at the top of one of the taller mountains, was understandably upset at being interrupted while having a nice afternoon nap, and though Theroc fought valiantly, the dragon easily grasped the warrior in three of its toes and carried him through the air and down the mountain. Mountain dragons, contrary to popular belief, are studied pacifists, but they don't stand for people trying to kill them. This one went only as far as the bottom of the mountain (he wanted to return to his nap) and dropped Theroc about a hundred feet into a monastery. The monks managed to save Theroc's life, but decided to keep Theroc there to work off the cost of the courtyard stones he shattered in his fall. Theroc, not wanting to hurt monks, complied. During his stay at the monastery, he acquired his cooking skill, healing ability, and devout belief in doing right. When the monks deemed his penance completed, Theroc decided not to return to his mountain home and left the monks for the cities of men on the nearby coast. During his time in these cities, Theroc decided a few things: he did not like cities, the ocean may be the single worst natural thing in creation, and many people need protecting. In light of this last decision, he made his way back inland toward the fabled Paladin's College. When he arrived, they turned him away after a short entrance exam, telling him, "You are ALREADY a paladin." He took this at face value and decided to act more like it. So he traveled, discovering along his way a unique method of hunting. Every time he encountered a battle, he took the side of whichever side he believed to be right. If neither side was, in his opinion, justified, he marched into each camp and did his best to negotiate peace. When fighting with armies, he stayed with the footsoldiers, talking with them and exchanging stories and skills. In this setting, he gained his ability with knots. And so, coming to the present, Theroc heard of the great evil in Tauria and decided there was nowhere a paladin was more needed.

Krokul was first recognized as an intelligent creature by his tribe when he saved a heard of pygmy goats from a raiding tribe of enemy Gremlins by directing his fellows to throw hallucinogenic berries on the invaders, causing them to flee when Krokul ran at them in a human overcoat found months earlier, using branches from trees nearby as stilts. After this he began to perform autopsies and later surgeries on the dead and wounded. Krokul became an expert doctor but was chased out into the wilderness as a "witch" by his people, he was saved by a passing caravan of human traders who took him to their village nearby. This lead Krokul into further studying humans and animals anatomy before he left his new home in search of great wealth and knowledge.

Bit late joining, I know, but I was a bit hesitant about it, not having done any RP before. Here goes:

Full Name: Elmorn Barruel Fletcher
Nicknames: Eli (only by those close to him)
Appearance: Tall, slender, with dark hair and some elfish features
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Race: Half elf
Affiliation: None yet.
Occupation: None. He travels around Tauria, fending for himself.
Physical Details: Well-built, with quick reflexes
Weapons: Bow (and arrows), two identical long knives of elfish origin
Apparel: Dressed simply in a black cloak.
Items: A slightly-glowing elf-stone hung around his neck, his only memory of his father. He keeps it hidden at all times. He also has a harmonica stowed in his pack.
Personality: Keeps everything close to his chest. People used to say he was caring and fun-loving, but all that is now overshadowed by a driving sense of purpose, mingled with the bitter pain of loss.
Skills: Being half-elfish, he has some natural skill with the bow, but his weapons of choice are his knives. His strength combined with his fast reactions render him deadly in close combat. He speaks the Common tongue and some Elvish, although he cannot read or write in the latter and he has hardly used it since his early childhood. Can also play a nifty little tune on the harmonica, although he rarely plays.
History: Born to a human mother and an elvish father, Elmorn was raised by his mother in her home village. He lived there happily until he was sixteen, when his village was raided by a mysterious band of black orcs (or whatever). In the middle of the night, thirty orcs descended on the village, torching houses and looting mercilessly. Elmorn, having been out of town for the night, returned home to find his childhood home burnt to the ground, and no sign of his mother. Torn by grief, he left the village, determined to avenge his mother’s death. He fell in with a band of rogue circus performers (why not? :P), who taught him how to survive out in the wild. He has spent the past five years preparing for his revenge, developing his combat skills and listening out for any information that will lead him to whoever killed his mother. He is now ready to set out on his quest (he thinks), and set off for Tauria with the intention of finding his father, whom he has never met. Hearing of the peril which besets Cormalla, he answers the summons, believing that it is there that he shall find his father and hopefully gain intelligence on the identity of his mother’s murderer.

Since this is a D&D inspired RP I'm restricting myself at this point to cantrips and first level spells from 3.5. I will make an effort to be reasonable about using spells since I know that magic can easily become godmodding, but if I ever do anything you don't think I should be able to or if you ever want to know what spell I'm using please just let me know.

Having said that I intend to use Expititious Retreat on myself and anyone else I can (smaller creatures who are probably slower are the priority).

It's more the fact that someone stated they rode by on a horse and picked you up. That's kinda a big give-away. :)

I mean I know it's tempting to ignore other people's posts when they don't agree with what you want to do but it's relatively easy to undo what they did with a few lines at the start of your post if you're that dissatisfied with it  haha

Due to rising time requirements in occupations at school, I doubt that I will be able to continue Role Playing, or most of my pastimes, as well as fulfilling my role as Underhusen member in Wintreath. I am therefore resigning from this RP, Dancing Hawk was eaten by the Dragolich.

(Note: I have never played DnD, but I have been LARPing before, and from what I know, the LARPs I participated in was closely similar to DnD gameplay; so, I will be basing this character off my character that I usually use while LARPing)

Full Name: Tristian Narciso
Nicknames: N/A
Appearance: (picture is not mine)

Gender: Male
Age: 27
Race: Half-elf
Affiliation: The Forest Sages of Tauria
Occupation: Druid, teacher
Physical Details:
Weapons: Tristian usually uses his staff and his magic as a weapon, though occasionally he will use a sword.
Apparel: Gold and silver armour, not used frequently. Usually wearing a long green cloak.
Items: Staff and spell book
Personality: Tristian usually stays vague when talking, and tries not to reveal much about himself. Mostly stern and judgmental, but all for the greater cause. It's always very clear where his loyalty lies. He often puts himself in front of others during battle. Also, like most Druids, Trisitan is very good with animals, and is a vegetarian.
Skills: Stealth, magic, and strategics.
History: Even as a child, Tristian has always been in touch with nature and animals. His parents (an elf for a father and a human for a mother) were well-known priests that often traveled for miles to teach religion and magic to those who would listen (Tristian was always brought along, even though he found it tedious). Years later, when Tristian was just but 14, Tristian's parents were murdered, presumably by an orc or Dark Elf. Because of Tristian's extensive knowledge of nature and his kindness towards forest animals, he was able to live by himself for a year, before he was found by the Forest Sages of Tauria, a group of druids bent on protecting the good and teaching the willing.

Gender: Female

Age: 1100

Race: Humanoid Zombie

Affiliation: Contractor/Mercenary

Occupation: Apothecary/Assassin

Physical Details: Physically dead and sustains her youth and function through harvesting living souls. 

Weapons: Six poison tipped daggers and six poison tipped steel fans she keeps in her hair

Apparel: Wears nothing but a kimono.

Items: Only the 12 blades and fans in her hair.

Personality: Cool, Calm and Collected, and playfully flirtatious, but does have a sadistic and cruel side.

Skills: Demonic/Necromantic Magic, Poisons, Torture Methods and Seduction.

History: Mayuko was born over 1100 years ago in an obscure far north eastern village known as Seiko. She is an orphan due to the fact that her parents died in the siege of that village at the hands of an army serving a dark lich overlord. She was adopted and raised by an obscure but powerful sorcerer and apothecary who taught her everything she knows. She has since followed the footsteps of her adopted parent and teacher. She however died on a job to assassinate an official of General Lich Lord Moria’s army.

However she physically died, but her consciousness lived and now ‘lives’ as a walking corpse. However she doesn’t tell anyone about her little secret and the nature of her existence. She blends in with the rest of the human race by running an apothecary shop, but takes the odd killing job here and there. She knows dark and demonic magic and uses it strictly for combat purposes and harvesting living souls for sustenance, she doesn’t eat in the conventional sense, but she only hunts and consumes the souls of her target or bad people.

Her weapons are hidden within her hair to look like hair accessories, which come on form of daggers and steel blade fans tipped with hideous poison concoctions  that infect the body and rot away the skin.
