The color if that of pearl, with violet iridescence giving it an ethereal glow.&nbsp; His eyes are large, and harbors the look of wheat in the wide orbs.

The pretty young traveler tickled his fancy, and the grenida courted her 'til he won a dalliance, not knowing 'til after she'd left that she was carrying his son. His mother raised him to be a bow-smith and a Sailor though she didn't make a good deal of money. Times were touch for them both due to the other better smiths around for their wares so a good deal of their income was spent traveling the seas. While they did Rumahs deviated from the call of a bow-smith to something else. He was beautiful some said he was an Ethereal creature trapped in a feminine boy's body. So when they made port Rumahs disappeared from his mothers side for long periods of time and came back with some gold in a purse. It wasn't for many years later that his mother found out he was trained as a Courtesan and knew bits and pieces of knowledge from all sources because of this. It troubled her for sometime when she found out slightly ashamed that she was even in a position to do so and her knowledge of his acts were kept close to the chest. He continued to work on his chosen trade eventually coming back with more than just a few gold here and there. The group he had found while in his life as a consort were a bit more shady than one would know. He was a messenger taking coded parcels from one crime syndicate to another through the travels his mom went on as a sailing Artisan. Eventually he left her side though joining the Kanti Orledlues of High King Emortalis with no small help from his shady friends. <br><br>While under the tutelage of his brothers and sisters of the force he found time to slip away still and continue his services to the ones who taught him how to dismantle locks and traps. To continue his job as a courtesan having grown to enjoy the life. It was his own personal night life something that no one knew about. His nightly excursions held the same task as before only slightly more expansive as his brothers travels and position allowed a much wider ability. The group capitalized on this granting him a slightly higher sum each time he delivered such messages. Eventually he was able to afford a rather nicely made Elven warbow with a minor enchantment allowing it to change with his strength. Such an item was a boon for the Young monk as his instructors drilled more and more into his head about the ways of Zen archery. Eventually their travels lead to a gypsy caravan where there was rumor of a seer who could see deep into the future. He met with the woman a Kindly old widow by the name of Raeronalaethus Maernaltin. Getting his fortune taken in probably the most ambiguous fashion he beseeched his brothers to allow him to stay in her care for a time surprisingly gaining approval for such. The time spent with the woman wasn't ill used either as she taught him how better to notice fallacy in ones speech and how better to use a wand or other such magic device. it was a good many years later that he finally returned to his monk brothers to finish his training now armed with the knowledge of Nethys and how to use the wands he now hid among his person. Though the time spent with the woman had lowered his guard slightly.<br><br>He did as he always did and Left the sanctum of his brothers home to go to his night life but in doing so was noticed by one of the monks. Traveling into the House of ill repute the monk followed and was captured brought forth to the Matron and Rumahs was then lead to her chambers. Seeing the other monk there Rumahs' face fell and he listened to what had happened. Keeping silent he watched as the monk was killed and then disposed of right before his eyes now naught more than ash to be swept up. it was then that the matron turned to him and cast him out. He returned home and then participated in the search for the missing brother while he contemplated what had transpired. His mind elsewhere He found surprisingly he held no guilt for not only the death of the nosy monk but also the displeasure of the guild who helped him climb out from the life he had. The search was eventually called off but Rumahs was still troubled by his thoughts and left the Kanti Orledlues to carve his own path. Armed with the knowledge of Zen archery he for a time journeyed around making money here and there as needed being a Courtesan for some High ranking official. He avoided contact with his brothers and eventually stopped contact all together. During his time finding his path he needed to steal from other people and creatures to survive at times. Even trespassing into their land as such was the case when he came upon the living lair of a group of naga. He hated that he had become naught but a simple thief and and in his hatred of his situation took a bit more than he should have. It was easy sneaking passed the guard and easier still to get out without anyone knowing he was there but the feeling he had in his gut afterwards drove him into a slight depression. <br><br>He Took some time but eventually he found his way back to the capital and asked for a audience with the grandmaster of the Kanti Orledlues there. He told the Grandmaster of his troubled mind and was hesitantly allowed to stay. The grandmaster knew that not everything about the boy was told but could not find the man to be a danger to his acolytes. It was through his stay here that he had heard of the mist spreading through the lands. A call in the monastery was put forth to deem who would be strong enough to go to the High King and represent them. Rumahs did his best against the others in the guild and showed that even after his time away from the guild he still remembered what they had taught him acutely. He was granted the right to go forth and represent them but the grandmaster under the privacy of his office also imparted that if Rumahs were to want full admittance back into the monk order that he would need to complete this task with discretion and success. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Posting format</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatright][img padding=15 height=300]http://safebooru.org//images/1182/2e6bdf90c467936785225add4e9880648a187e0c.png[/img][/floatright]<br>[hr]<br>[b][size=12pt][glow=Purple,2,300][font=verdana]Rumahs Amaibrarvia Eyllisannia'aia[/font][/glow][/size][/b], [glow=Purple,2,300][i]Male Perida Elf Zen archer Quinggong monk 5[/i][/glow]<br>[url=http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=90617]Character Sheet[/url]<br>HP:34 (Current: 34)&nbsp; AC: 18, [u][i]touch[/i][/u]: 18, [u][i]flatfooted[/i][/u]: 15<br>[b]Fort[/b]:+4 [b]Ref[/b]:+6 [b]Will[/b]:+8<br>[hr]<br>[spoiler=Statistical info][size=8pt]<br>[b]Combat[/b]: CMB: +6, CMD: 24, Move: 40 ft<br>[u]Melee[/u]: Unarmed Strike +6 (1d8+3, x2, Bludgeoning)<br>[u]Ranged[/u]: Adaptive +1 Elven Warbow +7 (1d10+1+3+2, x3, 120ft, Piercing/Bludgeoning, 20 cold iron arrows/20alchemical silver arrows/20 blunt arrows)<br>[b]Buffs[/b]:<br>[color=Navy][b]-Innate[/b][/color]:<br>[color=Maroon][b]-Spells[/b][/color]:<br>[color=pink][b]-Potions[/b][/color]:<br>&nbsp;[b]Debuffs[/b]:[/spoiler]<br>[hr]<br><br><br>This is where I post this is normal non speaking posting<br>[glow=Purple,2,300][font=verdana]This is how Rumah talks isn't it lovely[/font][/glow]<br>[glow=Purple,2,300][font=verdana][i]This is how Rumah thinks isn't it lovely[/i][/font][/glow]<br><br>[spoiler=OOC]OOC goes here much wow many woot[/spoiler]<br><br>[spoiler=Actions]Actions go here isnt it lovely?[/spoiler]</code></pre></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Hp Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll ID: 72085<br>Owner: OyabunKyuubi<br>Viewer: Noone or Anyone<br>Time Rolled: 2015-02-12 13:19:54<br><br>Summary: At 2015-02-12 13:19:54, Rumahs (uid: 54474) rolls: 4d8 Result: 16 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=72085)<br><br>Full Result: Rumahs rolled: 4d8<br>Comment: Hp rolls<br>Result: 6, 1, 5, 4,<br>Total: 16<br><br>Roll ID: 72313<br>Owner: OyabunKyuubi<br>Viewer: Noone or Anyone<br>Time Rolled: 2015-02-15 14:12:39<br><br>Summary: At 2015-02-15 14:12:39, Rumahs (uid: 54474) rolls: 1d8 Result: 6 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=72313)<br><br>Full Result: Rumahs rolled: 1d8<br>Comment: Reroll Hp<br>Result: 6,<br>Total: 6</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Edit Log</div><div class="spoiler_body">Edit 1: Added mostly completed character, Edited my Confirmation<br>Edit 2: Fixed hp (needed to reroll), Fixed ability scores, added hp rolls<br>Edit 3: Fixed something in posting format that was wrong.<br>Edit 4: Decided on my traits fully<br>Edit 5: Put notes pending background creation<br>Edit 6: Better drawback for the new char background<br>Edit 7: Updated weapon and a wand to purchase said weapon.<br>Edit 8: Changed bio notes again to show new bio<br>Edit 9: Another change to the bio notes<br>Edit 10: Added in some descriptions that I saw on the cast forum<br>Edit 11: Fixed Style a bit<br>Edit 12: added appearance<br>Edit 13: changed hair color Slightly<br>Edit 14: Added complete background, Ready for review</div></div>

				Story to begin (I may edit this a lot before starting the IC)<br><br>Jiana Silvermane&nbsp; was having a blast. She had been playing with her friends in the Forest prior to the annual migration. They were heading North again to the glorious foothills of the Griffon Range. It was the summer playground for the Faela. The time of making new relationships and remembering old ones. Reconnecting with the beautiful world of the silk business. They would be releasing the gorgeous butterflies into the world to mate and lay eggs for the caterpillars that made the soft silk fibers the Fae needed for their silk factories. <br><br>Jiana was happy to be heading North this year. She had her eye on a handsome male who was simply gorgeous. He was very busy honing his crafts and seldom saw Jiana as she did her work. But this year she was moving up. She would be honing her archery skills to be guarding the butterflies as they hatched out of their cocoons. Many enemies sought out the pretty butterflies. Mostly birds and snakes and other small animals. If the butterflies did not get a chance to let their wings dry they would be helpless prey.<br><br>No more gathering berries and other herbs for dyes. This year she had responsibility and a chance to meet the one she had her eye on. She was playing hide and seek with her best friends Gaily and Iris. They were deep in the Forest, deeper than they had ever gone before. All three felt adventurous and bold. None of them was prepared for the shock they were to receive. This was a part of the Forest that held some mysterious secrets. It was called The Malvern, and signs in Elvish posted a warning that the area was dangerous.<br><br>It started out as a premonition. Gaily had stopped to rest at the top of a tall elm tree and looked to the West. Curious, she called down to the other two girls. “What is that? It’s all dark and sinister...like a creeping black mist. Is it smoke?”<br><br>Jiana flew up to look as did Iris. They were both stymied. “I have no clue, it might be a fire. Maybe we should warn the Rangers. This is their territory.”<br><br>Iris shrugged. “They might already know. I am going to go and look. Maybe it’s a new discovery!”<br><br>Before Jiana and Gaily could stop her, Iris flew down to the creeping fog to get a closer look. “I have a bad feeling about this, Jiana.” the blue faela known as Gaily remarked.<br><br>They watched curiously as Iris went closer. Suddenly a high pitched scream rang out and Iris was drawn into the fog even as she tried furiously to fly away. The scream was cut off rather short. And the fog was headed right for them!<br><br>“RUN!!” yelled Gaily and she took off as fast as she could fly. Jiana right behind her. <br><br>As they flew as fast as they could for the safety of the Ranger’s station, Gaily flew right into a forest spider’s web. Jiana tried to pull her friend free. Glancing back as the creeping black fog drew closer. Gaily was caught completely and the spider was hurrying to catch her prey. <br><br>“Run! Jiana, go and warn the village do not stop!! Go!! Fly and stay high, they fog is almost here, GO!!!” Gaily screamed at her friend.<br><br>“I can’t leave you!” Jiana cried. Great tears rolled down her cheeks as she fitted an arrow and killed the spider. “Come on., I will carry you!”<br><br>“No you have to warn the village, I gladly make this sacrifice for all the Elves. Remember me Jiana. Now go!” Gaily shoved her friend away and folded her broken wings and prayed.<br><br>Jiana could not fight the tears, but she saw the menacing fog closing in. She thought she saw hideous shapes in the mist. Gulping in terror now, she fled. Flying higher and above the fog she managed to find a ranger who was on patrol. “Danger!! There is a menacing Black Mist coming!! I have already lost two friends to it!”<br><br>The Ranger was a tall Grenida who was riding a prancing paint horse. He grabbed Jiana carefully and set her in front of him on the saddle. “Hang on! We will get to safety!”<br><br>They rode hard for the river, and the wards set up there against the magic. “I am Lazir Oakblade. The fog should not cross the river, I hope we can warn the village in time. Who are you, little one?”<br><br>Jiana snuggled close to the Ranger and in a muffled voice she managed. “Jiana Silvermane. My friends are dead…” she sobbed.<br><br>“Tis a risk you take playing out here in the Wilds, young Faela. I am sorry for your loss. But it will not be in vain. I must warn the King the Black Mist is rising.” He was troubled. The Black Mist had not risen in over a thousand years. Someone must have tampered with the Wards.

As a child he would wander far into the mists of his village come twilight, seeking the edge of nightfall; he never found it, of course, but he learned much about the sleeping world and the way something as common as night can render the everyday into the extraordinary. One day, his explorations took him to a tomb long-forbidden to children of the village, a place where the mists gathered so thickly they seemed almost like cloth, and running among them like playing among clotheslines, as he had often done as a child. Unafraid of the dark, he gave little thought to straying within - and awoke something awful. A shadow that stank of cold and being lost.<br><br>It reached for him, and he fled, silent with fear, desperate to reach the light and safety of his village - but when he told the guard what he'd seen, they did not sally forth with their poisoned arrows. Instead they went to the village priestess, an elven woman ever caught between seeming a maiden and a crone, and it was she who walked alone into the night. She returned at dawn, and Zi asked her if she had slain the thing; she only smiled, ruffled his hair, and told him that there was nothing to fear from shadows for those who knew to look for what cast them. That led to the beginning of his apprenticeship in the sublime arts of elvenkind, the ways of shadow and sword. He grew swift and wise under his master's tutelage - but when she heard that the Black Mists had come again, she told him that his time with her had come to an end. Terrible things were coming, and it was his path to face them for the sake of those who could not bear to look, just as she had done for the village years ago. Her path, she said, called her elsewhere - obligations that were now come due was the most she would explain. Instead she left him with a few last words.<br><br>"We do not spread light," she told him, "for all lights fade. I have shown you that even a star may die in time. Instead we show the open-eyed how they may learn to see within the dark, so that night or day, all elves may learn to be sure of foot and clear of heart."<br><br>He said goodbye to his family and his friends among the village, spent a day in quiet contemplation of the path ahead, and set out the next day.<br><br><strong>I promise to post three times a week; failing this duty, I accept that I may be freely played by the GMs until such time as I resume control.</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Character Sheet</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Stalker 5</strong></span><br><em>True Neutral</em><br><br><strong>ATTRIBUTES:</strong> Str 8 | Dex 18 <em>(20)</em> | Con 12 | Int 12 | Wis 19 | Cha 10<br><strong>SKILLS:</strong> Acrobatics, Escape Artist, Heal, Intimidate, Knowledge (The Planes), Perception, Stealth<br><strong>FEATS:</strong> Weapon Finesse, Extra Stalker Art<br><strong>STALKER ARTS:</strong> Critical Edge, Deadly Ambush, Deadly Recovery<br><strong>TRAITS:</strong> Ghost Sight, Scholar of the Great Beyond<br><br><strong>HP:</strong> 29 (5d8: 8, 2, 2, 4, 8)<br><strong>AC:</strong> 20 (10 + 5 Dex + 5 armor)<br><strong>SAVES:</strong> Fort +2, Ref +6, Will +8 <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">MANEUVERS</span></strong><br><strong>1st:</strong> Dimensional Strike, Dizzying Venom Prana, Flurry Strike, Hunting Serpent Blow, Leaping Dragon, Shards of Iron Strike<br><strong>2nd:</strong> Half-Gone, Resonance Strike, Sting of the Asp<br><strong>3rd:</strong> Ghostwalk<br><br><strong>Stances:</strong> Body of Night, Leaping Spirit Dance, Formless Dance<br><br><strong>Roleplaying Notes:</strong> Zi's tradition refers to Broken Blade as <em>Swirling Mist</em>, Solar Wind as <em>White Star</em>, Steel Serpent as <em>Forbidden Garden</em>, Thrashing Dragon as <em>Mad Fox</em>, and Veiled Moon as <em>Sleeping Darkness</em>. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">IMPORTANT GEAR</span></strong><br>A slender blade of mirror-bright steel with an elegant white antler handle. <em>(+1 butterfly sword)</em><br>A beautifully-wrought tunic of soft, silvery metal. <em>(+1 mithral chain shirt)</em><br>A thick sash of pale deerskin, embroidered with a flowing series of katas in indigo thread. <em>(belt of incredible dexterity +2)</em><br>A supple bow of ash, carved with good luck wishes from children of his village. <em>(ordinary longbow)</em><br>A necklace strung from tatters of death-shroud and decorated with the teeth of the undead. <em>(masterwork tool for Intimidate)</em><br>Bands of spidersilk tied carefully to keep clothes from rustling. <em>(masterwork tool for Stealth)</em><br>A black leather tome entitled <em>The Other Side of Night</em>. <em>(masterwork tool for Knowledge {The Planes})</em><br>A clump of fungus which, neither chewed nor swallowed but held in the mouth, brings minty breath and a faint hum of clarity. <em>(masterwork tool for Perception)</em><br>A collection of easily-accessible shears and sharp edges strapped against the skin. <em>(masterwork tool for Escape Artist)</em><br>Hooked gloves and shifting mercury weights for balance and maneuverability. <em>(masterwork tool for Acrobatics)</em><br>Bone-splinter tools for acupuncture and crude surgery. <em>(masterwork tool for Heal)</em><br></div></div>

				Hello there my fellow GM! I have been busy as I know you have been! I hope we can have some fun on this little jaunt. I am hoping to have a few magic users and at least one healer. The Black Mist is being contained for the moment. It will have a source and a means of banishing it, but it will require a party of hardy adventurers who are not afraid of ghosts and things that go bump in the night!

				Well considering that the Faela are so tiny, they need some advantages! But yes I expect the flight will come in handy. But keep in mind they cannot keep in the air indefinitely.

				I have all four varieties of the Elves on synopsis in the WB thread.

				&nbsp; Vera, natural healing is covered by the skill Heal.&nbsp; It's nowhere near as powerful as magical healing, but can still be a great boon.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; What Oyabun described is the skill Use Magic Device.&nbsp; This is a skill some characters study that allows them to attempt to activate a magical item that someone from their character class wouldn't normally be able to activate.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; In this case, Oyabun has acquired wands that cast the spell Cure Light Wounds, from clerics, druids, or the like, and is using that skill to activate them on the party's behalf, for when our own healers either aren't available or need to conserve their magic.&nbsp; <br><br>Vera, for a Faela like you described for your own character, I would recommend the Druid character class, with a personal focus on healing.&nbsp; Clerics are better healers, but Faela are better druids.&nbsp; :)&nbsp;

A caravan master for the House for decades, Nys' magical knowledge, dignitary position and aristocratic heritage made him an obvious choice of Blanqua representative on the investigation into the black mist.&nbsp; <br><br>The only son of the House patriarch Councilman Varthen Vendatti, a remote and stern if loving man, Nys was raised with a certain expectation to one day assume a role of leadership within the clan.&nbsp; Despite this, the long lives of elven kind imply any ascension to serious leadership is centuries away.&nbsp; His training has been long and practical, including archery, magic and business.&nbsp; He's also developed a talent for body art, including piercings and both temporary and permanent inks, and sometimes utilizes slaves or friends as his canvas.&nbsp; <br><br>Nys is patient, fun-loving and fond of companionship.&nbsp; He has never felt any lack of bravery or honor, though he views them much differently than traditional nobility.&nbsp; Risk is foolish without promise of return and bringing the clan profit and success is the highest form of duty.&nbsp; He'll certainly help the damsel in distress: he just won't be suicidal about it, and failure to compensate him for the deed, at least within their capability, would be offensive. <br><br>His attitude towards others is likewise at times a bit mercenary, a carryover from his clan’s outlook toward business.&nbsp; He values honesty, dislikes inflicting harm and understands antagonism is unproductive, but is ultimately goal driven and opportunity or desperation can quickly dismiss manners.&nbsp; &nbsp;Friends are invaluable, but they don't expect favors for nothing.&nbsp; A true ally is someone you can expect to keep their word; and those who can do so are very rare. <br><br>Currently clan is the one thing sacred to Nys; nearly every action is weighed for its benefit to the family, and betrayal is unthinkable.&nbsp; He would sacrifice anything to protect them – especially for his two younger sisters.<br><br>Orientation: Nys is strictly dominant, and heterosexual.&nbsp; <br><br><br>Olivia Vendatti<br>Raven Familiar<br><br><div class="floatright">&nbsp; &nbsp;(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t31.0-8/s960x960/291116_297171270294600_935507595_o.jpg)</div>Nys' familiar is a Raven named Olivia; as with other raven familiars she is able to speak, in her case with a lovely feminine voice.&nbsp; In personality she is well matched to her master, if also a frequent source of frustration for him; she is highly sexual, voyeuristic and enjoys shocking others with periodic vulgarity and rudeness.&nbsp; Although bisexual, Nys has forbidden her from touching other men: something she finds "rather fucking annoying," but abides by.&nbsp; She is surprisingly (and rather pointlessly) kleptomaniac and often steals anything shiny and small that's left out, usually abandoning it once bored (although she is more capable of judging value than most humans, this rarely influences her desires.&nbsp; She particularly prizes mirrors - she's a bit of a narcissist - bits of glass, beads, buttons, and coins).&nbsp; She lives moment to moment, with no long term goals and a somewhat childish lack of foresight. <br><br>Several years ago, Nys crafted a unique magical item for Olivia: a silver feather that allows her to alter her shape at will.&nbsp; Although the shapes available to her are many, her favorite is a pretty - although exotically colored - Blanqua.&nbsp; <br><br><br>Olivia's Mithril Feather: Although made of mithril and inscribed with elvish runes, this feather is as fine as any real one.&nbsp; It grants Olivia the ability to Alter Self, usually changing into a her usual although she sometimes enjoys other forms for mischief.&nbsp; Because of Olivia's tendency to lose things and her lack of ability to carry items in her raven form, the Feather was designed to take the place of a natural feather and cannot be removed without significant pain and some injury.&nbsp; Replacing the feather in Olivia - or in another creature - requires the use of a Piercer's craft.&nbsp; The Feather changes to accommodate other forms; in her human form it becomes a piercing.

				Ebadger, In general I like your concept. It is an interesting character to say the least. I am not sure about the familiar however. Is she part of how he fights?

It does not seem as practical as you make your character out to be. <br><br>I do have shape shifters in this world. My thread here deals with that.( a quote from the thread.)<br>--------------<br><br>"There are legends among the Elves that speak of an ancient race, called the Draelren. Have you ever heard of them? They can shapeshift to the forms of different animals. Human in appearance if they wish, or Elven. They were Allied with the Elves centuries ago. But when humans came, they brought disease with them and nearly wiped them all out."<br><br>-----------------------<br><br>https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=221585.0<br><br>You can if you want have Olivia be a companion/indentured servant if you like. If she is a Draelren, she can be your companion. I dislike the use of slaves in a game. Though I do not mind a person selling themselves to cover a debt, but it has to be a contractual thing.<br><br>If you would like to alter your story just a little bit and have Olivia as your partner/companion who is a Draelren, I wouold be delighted. I would like to see more shape shifters in the world. The feather he crafted could be a binding he used to keep her with him, or something like a wedding ring, binding them together?

They are a separate race, able to take on any shape once they learn the proper words. I am still looking into a background of them.

				The Draelren are shapeshifters. The idea came to me from the picture I found of the panther and the young girls.<br><br>http://cs623431.vk.me/v623431485/3b61/7HFinpK3O48.jpg<br><br>Originally I wanted it to be a huntress looking for the panther and finding the shapeshifter who was a male. But we are having fun with the other way around too.<br><br>I am going to say the Draelren are more of a cult than a race. That way any race can join in and learn the magic used to change shape. It will be like a ritual and directed by the Goddess Artemia. She will be the Goddess who gives the power to shapeshift to her worshipers. They will be trained in the ways of the Cult, and given their choice of forms. I suggest each person who decides to become Draelren will choose a main form. They will find this animal in the wilds and observe them for a long time, perhaps a year, to absorb their habits and not harm them. During this time, they are not allowed to be near any other people. <br><br>Those in the Cult of Artemia will swear a Vow of the Hunt. <br><br>I will honor the Goddess Artemia in all ways. <br>I will not hunt without reason of hunger.<br>I will keep the Balance of Nature and not destroy the last of a kind.<br>I will defend the young, those still learning the Ways, and those who honor the Goddess Artemia.<br><br>I chose a raven for my character's first form. The panther was the second form and the horse as the third. I will be using a dolphin as the last she can learn.<br><br>In this world I have had the Draelren be very rare, as fear of the magic drove many of the ordinary citizens to kill them. So the Cult is very secretive and very few know of its existence. I chose the land of the Elves as the last place they could be found.<br><br>Any one who wants to build a good solid background with training to become a certain animal feel free to do so. I am still working on my own backstory for Ravien.<br><br>https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=221585.0<br>

				The Draelren sound interesting, but much more Greek divinity cult than amusing companion: am intending to keep her as a raven first and an awkward human second (if faced with a vow, she's more likely to snatch a button and flit to the branches to play with it than give a solemn oath).&nbsp; <br><br>I'll play with the character creator a bit later tonight and see what I can come up with.&nbsp; <br><br>An excerpt from a previous game (significantly different character, being a half drow v. an arctic elf, but similar personality)<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Olivia stuck her tongue out playfully at Chi's comment, but returned with the waitress with only a single bowl.&nbsp; She perched on the edge of her seat to sip tea and take quick bites from a yellow porcelain bowl full of cherries, blueberries and a variety of other fruit.&nbsp; Mid-bite, she quickly darted out red-stained fingers to grab Torryx's fork, placing it beneath a napkin with her own flatware, where it wasn't really hidden at all.&nbsp; When he next glanced over, she simply smiled and blinked innocently, reaching out with a morsel.&nbsp; "Berry?"<br><br>When Mercy spoke, Nys looked up with a blank but generous smile, already gesturing her towards an empty space at the table.&nbsp; "I'm sorry, miss - I'm usually very good with faces.&nbsp; But I can't quite seem to place y-"&nbsp; <br><br>He was cut off as Olivia looked up, her bowl already nearly empty.&nbsp; "Mercy!"&nbsp; She shrieked the name and rose, fluttering across the table as a raven with a racket of wings and wind.&nbsp; After another transformation she tackled the eldritch girl in an embrace, then surprised her with a deep kiss.&nbsp; With her arms still wrapped around the newcomer, she looked to Nys.&nbsp; "You ass, you remember Mercy!&nbsp; From Arkham, with the weird color thing.&nbsp; She gave me a button!"&nbsp; She smiled wistfully at the sweet memory.&nbsp; <br><br>Nys shook his head.&nbsp; "Could be sisters, but she'd be, what, mid twenties by now?"&nbsp; <br><br>Olivia leveled a cold stare at Nys and responded in a dry voice.&nbsp; "Master, how old do you think this girl is?" &nbsp;<br><br>Sensing the trap, Nys took a moment to study Mercy, squinting a bit and looking for wrinkles.&nbsp; The answer seemed fairly obvious, but he knew it was an odd human custom never to overestimate a woman's age, so he adjusted it downward to be safe.&nbsp; "Forty?"&nbsp; <br><br>"I... uh. Huh?" was all that Mercy could manage as her flaxen hair fell across her face, out of its usual placement, eyes locked upon the beautiful creature that had been a bird moments prior.<br><br>Olivia's eyes widened as she tilted her head to stare unfocused into memory, mistaking the reason for Mercy's confusion.&nbsp; "It was a wonderful button, copper stamped with wheat, five holes and a scratch.&nbsp; It fell off your shirt."&nbsp; She noticed Mercy's reaction to the kiss and leaned down, her hands confidently exploring Mercy's body while her face smiled innocently, a mix of humor and seduction twinkling in her wide, green eyes.&nbsp; "Did the monks treat you well?"&nbsp; <br><br>Nys rolled his eyes and adjusted his seat slightly to move out of the sun as he waved for another tea.&nbsp; "My apologies - Olivia enjoys shocking people.&nbsp; She usually behaves almost like an adult.&nbsp; Olivia dearest, if they take offense at a bit of nudity then I'm fairly certain you'll be arrested for what you're trying to do.&nbsp; Remember Ben'Fazhal?&nbsp; And I don't have a frog medallion this time."&nbsp; Olivia didn't stop, but she didn't start undressing either of them either, which Nys admitted to himself was probably the best he could hope for.&nbsp; He turned his attention back to Mercy.&nbsp; "There are very keen forks here, if you need something to fend her off.&nbsp; I'm Nys, a very nice name, I've always felt - like the purr of a naga just before it strikes.&nbsp; Or so mother said when she was feeling dramatic.&nbsp; I just like the brevity." &nbsp;</div></div>

				Actually, eBadger, go ahead and use Olivia as you stated first. I can accept it.

She can only shift to a simple form right now and I am going to make it a very interesting one. It a flying Wind serpent. I know I am borrowing from WOW for this image.

As a child he would wander far into the mists of his village come twilight, seeking the edge of nightfall; he never found it, of course, but he learned much about the sleeping world and the way something as common as night can render the everyday into the extraordinary. One day, his explorations took him to a tomb long-forbidden to children of the village, a place where the mists gathered so thickly they seemed almost like cloth, and running among them like playing among clotheslines, as he had often done as a child. Unafraid of the dark, he gave little thought to straying within - and awoke something awful. A shadow that stank of cold and being lost.<br><br>It reached for him, and he fled, silent with fear, desperate to reach the light and safety of his village - but when he told the guard what he'd seen, they did not sally forth with their poisoned arrows. Instead they went to the village priestess, an elven woman ever caught between seeming a maiden and a crone, and it was she who walked alone into the night. She returned at dawn, and Zi asked her if she had slain the thing; she only smiled, ruffled his hair, and told him that there was nothing to fear from shadows for those who knew to look for what cast them. That led to the beginning of his apprenticeship in the sublime arts of elvenkind, the ways of shadow and sword. He grew swift and wise under his master's tutelage - but when she heard that the Black Mists had come again, she told him that his time with her had come to an end. Terrible things were coming, and it was his path to face them for the sake of those who could not bear to look, just as she had done for the village years ago. Her path, she said, called her elsewhere - obligations that were now come due was the most she would explain. Instead she left him with a few last words.<br><br>"We do not spread light," she told him, "for all lights fade. I have shown you that even a star may die in time. Instead we show the open-eyed how they may learn to see within the dark, so that night or day, all elves may learn to be sure of foot and clear of heart."<br><br>He said goodbye to his family and his friends among the village, spent a day in quiet contemplation of the path ahead, and set out the next day.<br><br><strong>I promise to post three times a week; failing this duty, I accept that I may be freely played by the GMs until such time as I resume control.</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Character Sheet</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Stalker 5</strong></span><br><em>True Neutral</em><br><br><strong>ATTRIBUTES:</strong> Str 8 | Dex 18 <em>(20)</em> | Con 12 | Int 12 | Wis 19 | Cha 10<br><strong>SKILLS:</strong> Acrobatics, Escape Artist, Heal, Intimidate, Knowledge (The Planes), Perception, Stealth <em>(All at 5)</em><br><strong>FEATS:</strong> Weapon Finesse, Extra Stalker Art<br><strong>STALKER ARTS:</strong> Critical Edge, Deadly Ambush, Deadly Recovery<br><strong>TRAITS:</strong> Ghost Sight, Scholar of the Great Beyond<br><br><strong>HP:</strong> 29 (5d8: 8, 2, 2, 4, 8 | Constitution +1)<br><strong>AC:</strong> 20 (10 + 5 Dex + 5 armor)<br><strong>SAVES:</strong> Fort +2, Ref +6, Will +8 <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">MANEUVERS</span></strong><br><strong>1st:</strong> Dimensional Strike, Dizzying Venom Prana, Flurry Strike, Hunting Serpent Blow, Leaping Dragon, Shards of Iron Strike<br><strong>2nd:</strong> Half-Gone, Resonance Strike, Sting of the Asp<br><strong>3rd:</strong> Ghostwalk<br><br><strong>Stances:</strong> Body of the Night, Leaping Spirit Dance, Formless Dance<br><br><strong>Roleplaying Notes:</strong> Zi's tradition refers to Broken Blade as <em>Swirling Mist</em>, Solar Wind as <em>White Star</em>, Steel Serpent as <em>Forbidden Garden</em>, Thrashing Dragon as <em>Mad Fox</em>, and Veiled Moon as <em>Sleeping Darkness</em>. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">IMPORTANT GEAR</span></strong><br>A slender blade of mirror-bright steel with an elegant white antler handle. <em>(+1 butterfly sword)</em><br>A beautifully-wrought tunic of soft, silvery metal. <em>(+1 mithral chain shirt)</em><br>A thick sash of pale deerskin, embroidered with a flowing series of katas in indigo thread. <em>(belt of incredible dexterity +2)</em><br>A supple bow of ash, carved with good luck wishes from children of his village. <em>(ordinary longbow)</em><br>A necklace strung from tatters of death-shroud and decorated with the teeth of the undead. <em>(masterwork tool for Intimidate)</em><br>Bands of spidersilk tied carefully to keep clothes from rustling. <em>(masterwork tool for Stealth)</em><br>A black leather tome entitled <em>The Other Side of Night</em>. <em>(masterwork tool for Knowledge {The Planes})</em><br>A clump of fungus which, neither chewed nor swallowed but held in the mouth, brings minty breath and a faint hum of clarity. <em>(masterwork tool for Perception)</em><br>A collection of easily-accessible shears and sharp edges strapped against the skin. <em>(masterwork tool for Escape Artist)</em><br>Hooked gloves and shifting mercury weights for balance and maneuverability. <em>(masterwork tool for Acrobatics)</em><br>Bone-splinter tools for acupuncture and crude surgery. <em>(masterwork tool for Heal)</em><br></div></div></div></div>

				I am looking forward to this. Mossberg are you joining us on skype? Also send your ideas to Muse to get the mechanical elements worked out as we want to make sure we are all on a balanced idea according to Pathfinder on our stats. <br><br>I will be doing two characters for this, and will most likely post for both of them in turn. Which leads me to another question. I do not like waiting on someone to post that keeps the rest of us fiddling our thumbs. So I encourage people in my threads to post at any time out of combat and keep the flow and the interest in the thread high. <br><br>If we are in battle I will ask Muse to set up a battle sequence for us to follow so we can keep it flowing.

				Reliat "Rel" the Warden.<br><br>Eldest son of a gifted Treesinger, and a merchant, and older brother to a young sister, Yel'Dara, Rel was a happy and well adjusted boy. He showed a natural talent for treesinging himself, which made his mother proud of him. She spent a great deal of time with him, showing him how to focus, and to shape the living woods...well until the birth of his sister. He found himself alone more, and he sought the wilds around the village as a distraction.<br><br>Her name was Jes'ishura, and was one of the many rangers and guardians that traveled the canopy of the surrounding forests of their king and queen. She saw something in the young man who sang amongst the trees, and while only a few hundred years old, she took the lad under her wing. She trained him up in the true ways of the forest, and to become a silent guardian of the their people.<br><br>He grew closer to her, and respected her greatly, they spent many weeks and months alone in training and living in the wilds of their king. And their bond became more as they became lovers. After almost half a century, they prepared to seal their lives in vows of marriage...it was not to be. Jess was killed protecting a village evacuation.<br><br>It's been a decade, and still the pain and memory of her fills him. He became a lone wolf warden, one of the best guardians of the forests and the creatures within them. His skills with a bow are well known, as well as his singing talent, though no one has heard him sing since Jes'ishura's death.<br><br>Now something threatens the lives of his people and the forest. And Rel answers the call to help find the answers.<br><br>

I expect we will all need a day to figure out a good response to the King's Decree. Please have your characters already in the city of Oldorin and finding the notice or having it handed to them by a friend or mentor or a superior officer.

				I do hope that those of you who have not posted yet in the IC thread, do so soon. The rp cannot proceed without the interaction of all those involved. If you delay beyond this week I will consider your character withdrawn.<br><br>Please remember I asked for a minimum of three posts per week. The IC went up on Monday of this week and it is now Wed. This is a basic freeform rp with the Pathfinder mechanics in place mainly for battles. We will be having some battles and I expect all of you to let Muse and I know if you cannot post so we may GM your character.<br><br>Do not be intimidated by the opening posts that are of a huge length. Some of us like to be wordy. It is not required! All I ask for is a coherent post with the pertinent information and some interaction with other characters. You are not in this alone. We are all mature adults. I won't hold your hand or poke you for posts, but I do expect you to be active. <br><br>Pay attention to the thread when there are posts, there is information in the posts I make and in the ones that Muse makes, that may be important to know when we get deeper into the mission. Know what we are facing. Keep your character in the know by following the clues we post and acting accordingly. <br><br>Thanks to all of you who have already posted. You are doing great!

				I know this might sound picky, but where in my description of the Perida elves is there blonde hair or light violet for that matter? I am looking over it and I see this:<br><br>&nbsp;The are the shipbuilders and the most likely to trade and make friends with other races.<strong> Dark hair</strong> and brown or deep violet eyes are common. Their build is wiry and strong, standing at about the same average height as a human. Outgoing and friendly, they love to spin yarns and gamble. They can be passionate and fiery tempered as well.<br><br>I am going to let it slide for now. But if I run another group it will have to be a bit different. Don't mind me.

				Well, is it possible for the different types of elves to breed together? Besides, dark hair being common doesn't mean other kinds aren't out there.

				Excellent posts from all of you!! I will be moving us into the courtyard next to receive the protection spell from Polonius. Going to do a nice long scene. Then we will be off to the ruins of the ancient troll temple.

				Please feel free to post as much as you like. Any of you are welcome to interact and ask questions and move the story with your impressions. This is more than a system game. It is supposed to be a fun way to enjoy writing a story. I encourage all of you to write more and give us some insight into your character.

				We have offered some conflict, and still not much of any posting. It takes people wanting to do more than a system game to keep it going. I like the rp aspect. The system is not that important to me. I can offer you all kinds of interesting things if you actually stick around and post.
