				<strong>Between a Rock and a Hard Place</strong><br><br>(http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02089/hi-kents-cavern0_2089289b.jpg)<br><br>Deep down in the depths...the air is warm...what there is of it. There is no sunlight here...in fact you do not know where you are. You went to bed in your home, safe and snug. You awoke here. The floor is stone, what you can feel of it, grainy and hard. There is a coating of dust on nearby surfaces. You listen carefully and may hear a dripping sound in the distance or merely an echo of one, cave sounds can be misleading.<br><br>There is a faint source of light nearby, just enough for you to make out that you are in an alcove in a larger cave. The place where you are hidden is marginally protected with a few rocks. You are not harmed, in fact you seem to be well physically. Though if you had any magic in you it seems to be dormant. It is there inside of you, but you just cannot cast. You are in the clothing you went to bed in, if any. You have no weapon to use and no armor. <br><br>How you got here is something you may wonder, but no answers are to be found laying here in the relative darkness. As you rise to your sitting position you look over the rocks that are screening you from view of anything or anyone else in the large cavern. It would be wise to be cautious, you are not alone. There are two torches burning in the large room. one on either end. There is also a slab of rock in the center of the room, it appears to be about twenty feet long. There is one lit candle on it.<br><br>The sensation of being deep below the surface of the earth is suffocating. The air is not fresh, it is stale and musty. The torches burn with a&nbsp; snap and crackle. Whoever set you here is testing you. How you react and how you manage to survive is up to you. Look around the small space you have found yourself in.&nbsp; Your primary concern is survival. Cooperation might be&nbsp; necessary.<br><br>----------------------<br><br>This is the OOC thread. Keep comments and questions here and we will work out any problems and discuss plot points here. This is where we will be accepting character sheets and noting acceptance or offering suggestions. This is open to anyone who can commit to posting often enough to keep the thread going. Ideally once a day. <br><br>This is freeform. That means there will not be a lot of emphasis on leveling or stats. The main objective is to RP. Survival and cooperation. I do not mind friendly rivalry or someone who will try to be sneaky and gather more treasure or something on the order of deception. Player interaction is fun and one of the reasons I like a more rp based group. At the end boss, however it will be imperative for you all to cooperate to win. (Escape).<br><br>I will provide narrative and also one character who will be in the same position you are all in. I will also populate the dungeon with helpful npcs as well as dangerous ones. I encourage anyone who has a creative idea and wants to suggest plot twists.&nbsp; Please run that by us first so we can incorporate it smoothly or deny the idea on the basis of not working with my original concept. <br><br>I reserve the right to deny anyone who is not following the basic concept or who is disruptive to the group. I will listen to a <strong>reasonable</strong> request. If you are pushy or whiney I will probably kick you out of the group.&nbsp; &gt;:)

Red haired with a pompadour-type style. <br><strong>Brief History:</strong> (bullet points, I will give more in depth later)<br>~ Upper-middle class, was sent off to magic school, having a strong aptitude, and was pretty nerdy growing up.<br>~ To get back at his parents, he took up Illusion magic as his focus, but later moved to Conjuration, as he was never that charismatic.<br>~ During an unsanctioned summoning, he evoked a demonic spirit that granted him an uncanny mastery of the magic schools, but planted a seed of corruption inside of him.<br>~ As he performed magic, his corruption began to grow, causing his "thoughts" to become darker and more sinister.<br>~ Sexual desire was raised by corruption, has aided in a few sexual conquests, but not in his ease with women.<br>~ As those thoughts led to a few unsavory moments, his family used their money and prestige to whitewash various incidents from the school. His parents bribed an elven mage into taking him on as an apprentice. His skill of Illusory magic raised to a higher proficiency, as he was able to disguise himself, not wanting to stand out. <br>~ Under his apprenticeship, he learned about Elven culture, specifically the difference between the "rules" building both human and elven magic. Now able to dabble in both styles, he was able to to control different schools of magic. Darius became more interested in learning the origins of metamagical feats, wanting to combine his knowledge of different schools into specific uses. In addition, his elven master helped him focus and manipulate the corruption within him, however he is not at a skill level to contain or eliminate it.<br>~ He performed phenomenally in all classes, double-majoring in Elemental and Conjuration. While he outwardly becomes a model student prodigy, he privately meditates in moderate attempts to control his corruption and his lust.<br><br><strong>Physical Edge:</strong> Not much, but he has the uncanny ability to dodge attacks. Maybe the corruption within him wants to keep him alive? Obviously, the more precision the incoming attack takes, the easier it is to avoid. And sometimes, it just looks like he got lucky… The skill diminishes as more physical activity in exerted. Also has some crossbow training, as it was one of the common outings for his noble family.<br><strong>Physical Weak Point:</strong> He sucks at most things physical. Cardio? *Pant wheeze* Dancing? *Trip* Sex? quite inexperienced, so nope. Fighting? Yeah, no...<br><strong>Social/Mental Edge:</strong> Has knowledge of a lot of arcana, as well as a bit of demonology. Has working knowledge of Elven culture from being in school. Also studious. Can get around with using his family's name to call in favors, and work within noble ranks.<br><strong>Social/Mental Weak Point:</strong> Nervous in social settings. Inexperienced in the bedroom. Not one for a lot of fun. Lightweight with alcohol...<br><strong>Magical Theme (If Any):</strong> Has proficient control over the first four magic schools, with specialty in Conjuration. Seems to be particularly good at Fire elements as well. Not particularly skilled with time magic, but can throw a couple second delays if he needs (or remembers)<br><strong>Special Weaknesses (If Any):</strong> Using magic as more than a small gesture (i.e. prestidigitation, lighting a torch, moving a gallon or less or water; a slight breeze, etc) tends to fuel the demonic corruption within him. His thoughts, and later speech and actions, tend to grow darker. To quell this corruption (but not rid of it) is a sexual release. That presents its own set of problems, seeing that he gets nervous around women (and subsequently is inexperienced,) and is going to be traveling with a group of people, making masturbation difficult.<br><strong>Preferred Fighting Style:</strong> Fighting? Haha Lolz… Running away quickly. Would use magic more defensively, may grow to offensive as necessity/survival demands. Also, would use more summons, but still wants to minimize his corruption as much as possible.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">First or second "level ups"</div><div class="spoiler_body">Overcoming special weakness:<br>~ A small exception to this is elemental magic. While he has the ability to "create" an elemental presence, (in which the corruption takes effect,) he has learned to manipulate the elements around him, not utilizing his own magical reserves. <br>~ Can use Elemental magic (created or manipulated) to create an elemental weapon (more commonly used: Ice as a dagger or rapier; Fire as claws or a whip; water as a whip or flail; wind as a scimitar or shield; electricity as a&nbsp; bow or javelin; earth as a mace, javelin or shield; nature as a chain or short sword,) empower another weapon, or as armor. Does not necessarily make Darius proficient with weapons or armor.</div></div>

				Looks good Tyr, the only thing I hesitate on is the demon thing. Tentacles are not really a part of this world. That reeks of Cthulu (or however it is spelled) Demons can exist but are in another dimension and so extremely rare and not really viable here. It could be construed as an unequal advantage. You won't have any magic to start with. It is there, but you are unable to use it. <br><br>This part could be reworked to a simple corruption, maybe a demonic influence, but nothing that will manifest in here.<br><br>~ During an unsanctioned summoning, he evoked a demonic spirit that granted him an uncanny mastery of the magic schools, but planted a seed of corruption inside of him.<br>~ As he performed magic, his corruption began to grow, causing his "thoughts" to become darker and more sinister.<br>~ His first sexual experience his does not remember, as he blacked out and apparently raped a trio of fellow students with shadow-like tendrils as well as his penis. Realizing the potential danger within himself, he used his family's connections to whitewash the incident and transferred to a different school, one which was primarily Elven/Half Elven.<br><br><br>The rest of it I like. Will wait for Muse's opinion.

				Wait. I don't think I understand at what place you are trying to nerf.<br><br>Demonic presence sans starting magic VS Magic with corruption but no "demonic presense" such as possession? (The later is what I was aiming towards. Tendrils was kinda a manifestation of shadow magic, but I think that's one thing you wanted cut?)<br><br>Nerfing magic schools?<br><br>Or did I just miss it entirely?

				Tyr, I am discussing it with Muse and we are trying to work out an acceptable compromise. If you are going by my world building thread, I don't have anything like a demonic or shadow magic.&nbsp; <br><br>In my mind the schools of magic can all be used to sinister effect or should I say 'misused', but the darkness is inside a person's own personality rather than a demonic influence. Does that make sense to you?<br><br>Still under discussion. Muse will pipe in shortly.<br><br>Adding the section from my world thread to clarify magic.<br><br>The Midlands<br><br>The Midlands were the home of the Gelehrten, the learned ones. There huge cities were built of stone and steel, with glass windows and steam powered water pumps. Great castles and keeps were raised and leaders fought over territory from time to time. But the learned ones did not abide war and often the best of them, as wizards or mages, would quell the wars with magic. The rebels soon learned to keep their squabbles within their own territories and often settled disputes with arranged marriages.<br><br>The Mage Council, a group of Elder Mages of both genders. A veritable political minefield of power struggles. The division of schools of magic were:<br><br>1. Elemental, the manipulation of&nbsp; the elements of Fire, Ice, Storm, and Earth. These elements could be combined by Adepts to form powerful destructive spells. As well as smaller helpful spells.<br><br>2. Illusion, This was the magic that governed things that were confusing to the mind. Making a person see something that was like a mirage, vanishing with a touch. Or making the mage or another invisible.<br><br>3. Manipulation, the movement of objects that might be difficult for anyone to lift normally, being able to lift things without touching them, from a distance. This also applies to mind control. The manipulators are able to do this with hypnotism and suggestion.<br><br>4. Conjuration, The summoning of golems, or the animation of ordinary objects to serve as servants to the mage. Could even be used to summon refreshments from the elements around the mage.<br><br>5. Time travel, including teleportation, travel through space and time to another location. The mage has to have seen the target location before he can use this type of spell. The use of 'Gates' would be one way to utilize this for large scale movements of groups.<br><br>All schools are equally powerful, each has a lot of danger and potential for misuse. There are five Elders, each representing a school of training. <br><br>&nbsp;Mages usually learn one school at a time. They can dabble in all schools, but have to major in one to be considered a Master. The ranks are divided this way:<br><br>Arch Magister-Elder status, highest rank. May be skilled at more than one school, A primary and a good knowledge of all the others. <br><br>Magister-Equivalent to the status of judges. One skill as Primary and can be studying a secondary. Administers tests for the advancement of any rank.<br><br>Master-A teacher who is Highly skilled in one school. Takes on the role of trainer and guide to apprentices.<br><br>Magician-The common rank, only skilled in one school and studying that to become a Master. This is the rank where a lot of research and solo study are involved. They have to test to become a Master.<br><br>Apprentice Mage-A beginning student, may study any school under a Master. Used to do common tasks for his Master, while learning his trade.<br><br>Guttenvale is the main city of the mages It is a hotbed of political maneuvering, nobles vying for power and the High King in his castle trying to keep the rebels and nobles from killing each other. The High King has a Council of Elders as well, they are tasked with running the country. Trade, commerce and city management like courts and road building and maintenance.<br><br>The Mage Council is separate from the King's Council. They are always warring for dominance. The King is from a long line of ancestral lineage, conquerors of the past. His job is to be the military leader in case they get attacked from some other nation. Which is always imminent. He also has ambition to conquer more territory.<br>

				&nbsp; You're pretty new here, aren't you Tyr?&nbsp; Welcome.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Notice the seciton of the sight we're in, "Light Human Small Groups".&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; That indicated that whever erotic content comes up in a game should be consensual and reasonably 'vanilla.'&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; I'll be happy to help you find some games that are more sexualy exotic and rough and tumble.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; So Vera isn't asking you to decrease the power level of any of your abilities.&nbsp; She's asking you to shift the character into the sexual comfort zone of the people who prefer this section of the sight.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Does that clarify?&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; If there's some cosmology or metaphysics that doesn't work with the setting, i'm pretty sure that's secondary.&nbsp;

				<strong>Name:</strong> *Strange Barking-like-Hissing-Noise* (We'll call him Zeu for short.)<br><br><strong>Race/Species:</strong> Human, technically.<br><br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male, obviously, 'cause that thing is just ... hangin' there.<br><br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Appears to have a very strong desire for female company when they look kinda like him and don't have scales.<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> A dark and dirty young man at the age of an apparent 23 with many scares and marks upon both his body and face. Xeu's hair is growing in thin patches, as if it has been randomly cut off in large chunks with a crude stone blade. His apparel is missing, and his skin is both dark and covered in huge spots of sand or dirt (apparently from that of the large desert). His teeth appear sharpened, again quite possibly with crude stone tools, and his eyes stretch wide (deliberately), showing off magnificent greenish blue.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Perhaps a lost child of the desert tribes, Xeu has been living in the desert off/with/behind the very large lizards of that area for some time. It is unknown what age he was left, or how much of "lizard culture" he has adopted, but what is known is that, right now, he's basically a feral animal. Currently very confused and frightened, but due to being the "smaller" of his "species" (he thinks he's a lizard monster) he tries to avoid being too violent with anything bigger/taller (apparently) than him.<br><br>Zeu, as a name, is just what the sounds he makes sound like when trying to introduce himself, of which he is also "agreeable on." (Anything else, not so agreeable.)<br><br><strong>Physical Edge:</strong> CRAZY! And strong. Super crazy, and super strong.<br><br><strong>Physical Weak Point:</strong> Walks/runs on all fours, not very agile.<br><br><strong>Social/Mental Edge:</strong> Instinctual. First to run, first to fight, depending on what seems right. Easy to friend. Loyal!<br><br><strong>Social/Mental Weak Point:</strong> Doesn't human species good. Easily manipulated with food or other rewards. Instinctual. First to run, first to fight, depending on what seems right.<br><br><strong>Magical Theme (If Any):</strong> N/A<br><br><strong>Special Weaknesses (If Any):</strong> Language Barrier (In that he speaks no language.)<br><br><strong>Preferred Fighting Style: </strong> Flailing around with "claws" and teeth.<br><br><br><br><br>This idea amused me. We'll see how it goes. It is, as far as I can tell, well within the grounds of the world.

				I am tickled by the characters so far. <br><br>@Senti, yes submit the character sheet, following Muse's guideline. Muse and I are on Skype discussing things. <br><br>Dude, I had to laugh at your character, you described him very well. I can tell you have a great sense of humor. Discussing things with Muse now.<br><br>Tyr I will wait to accept or deny until you finish fixing your sheet. Muse will make comments as he can. I see some gaps still. <br><br>I will cut off the accepted at six. So all interested parties get your apps in and allow me to go over them with Muse. I will make a list of accepted when we have decided.<br><br>If you are not accepted, don't worry. I will allow alternates if someone bows out or fails to post in a weeks time. I expect everyone to post at least once a week, if you cannot, then bow out and we can get others in as they indicate interest.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Mathilde, then Mathew, Now goes by the name Half Now, du to the fact when taking a job she always takes half the payment first.<br><strong>Race/Species:</strong> Human<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Mostly Heterosexual, <br><strong>Appearance:</strong> Matty’ was likely once a relatively attractive girl, though not stunning or beautiful she might have been considered a fine catch. However now, her once long hair is cropped short almost to the point of being shorn, and was likely performed by herself with the use of a dagger. It is this way for practical reasons. <br><br>A scar pulls at her left eye and travels down her face to the side of her mouth giving her the appearance of a permanent sneer. A knotted scar stats and the back of her head and snakes down her neck and onto her back, it looks like it should have killed her. Also her body is a map work of various scars, some from various punishments; she was certainly no stranger to the lash.<br><em><br>Sigourney Weaver in Aliens 3 look works best I think.</em><br><br><strong>Brief History: </strong> Matty was born to a very minor noble family, who through no fault of there own became caught up in petty politics and minor squabbles which ended up in war and her family loosing everything. Thus with what was left of her inheritance (A few pieces of paste jewelry) there were two choices a whore or flattening down her chest and joining up. The latter seemed a better option.<br><br>The army was no picnic, and she saw too many good young men die because of stupidity, and in time though her skills improved her attitude worsened. Punching some young strip of an officer out was the finish of it really and she was lucky enough to escape the rope, through the machinations of a few of her squad.<br><br>Since then she has become a mercenary, she still has some scruples on that front, and thus far her code of honour has kept her sane and from turning to the dark side completely. <br><br>Working in the seedier side of society has kept her in booze and smokes, and alive but only just. <br><br><strong>Physical Edge:</strong> Matty has the constitution of an ox and can take more blows than most men could. Physically she is relatively fast and a little above average strength <br><br><strong>Physical Weak Point:</strong> Her depth perception is flawed due to the injury to her left eye. So her ranged attacks are often off target, thus she rarely fights this way.<br><strong>Social/Mental Edge:</strong> Mentally Matty is mostly practical, and has a wide range of life skills, when she can be arsed to use them. She is a survivor. And has the wherewith all to use her knowledge’s for this. For all her faults Matty has a pretty good repertoire of songs and tales, though a lot are not really ones that should be used in polite company.<br><strong>Social/Mental Weak Point:</strong> She has the social graces of a traffic accident; she is ornery, drinks too much, farts and burps, curses and more often than not does not smell to good. The woman is insubordinate to her ‘betters’. Her brain is not yet addled by booze but it likely it might not be too long, that is if she does not get herself killed first.<br><strong>Magical Theme (If Any): </strong>The woman is&nbsp; distrustful of magic, even if its beneficial, and can be superstitious, ie saluting a magpie and counting to ten if it is solitary, always keeping two coppers in her pocket to pay the ferry man.<br><br>Though it is not magic per say she has a sort of innate ‘danger sense’. Most likely its just she is alert and in her time on the army she performed a number of covert missions.<br><br><strong>Special Weaknesses (If Any):</strong> Might be classed as a weakness, for all her brashness Matty has a strange code, again from the army. She won’t leave a man behind. Being an alcoholic albeit a functioning on can be an issue.<br><strong>Preferred Fighting Style:</strong>&nbsp; Dirty Fighting is likely what one would call it, she has little style but is extremely effective. She is also a sneaky fighter, not the grace of an assassin, but usually as efficient.<br>

				Name: Aira<br><br>Race/Species: Human (Norori)<br><br>Gender: Female<br><br>Sexuality: Lesbian. (Currently unaware.)<br><br>Appearance: A tall woman of 6'4 with dirty blonde hair reaching to onto her upper back, hanging mostly straight, her bangs pushed to the side whenever they let themselves be controlled. Despite having recently gone into her twenties, Aira has a significant amount of freckles covering her cheeks and running in a bridge over her nose. A reasonably fair woman, she looks rather young for her ages due to the freckles, and combined with the optimistic look in her soft blue eyes she could easily be mistaken for someone in her teens. <br>&nbsp;<br>Brief History: Daughter of an innkeeper, during her childhood she often toiled with food or with fetching beer for the men. Lying just on the edge of a road held in the territory of two tribes, Aira swiftly grew used to both the squabbles of men and their way of talking. As she was young, her dad was the one who had to bring them in line before swords were drawn, usually by slamming on his shield. However, as she grew older, she became the one to slam the shield, and became known in the area as The Peacekeeper for her ability to consistently make sure the inn never got too loud or violent while simultaneously serving them beer and food that she had hunters come and bring. Despite this, her shield was never just for show - she loved to practice with it, often sparring, and eventually she got quite good with it, often seeking out the strongest visitors and asking them for duels. Sometimes she won, sometimes she didn't, either way she was satisfied, because it meant one more step on her path to become good at fighting. Eventually, her inn was raided by a third tribe when she was out getting food, and although she was offered a spot in both of the tribes she had previously served she decided the North held nothing for her for now, promptly leaving for the southern lands to seek the coin to fund a new one. <br><br>Physical Edge: Aira is quick on her feet, skilled, and moves with both the confidence and fluidity of someone who has been trained by warriors and hunters of experience. As such, combined with her skill with the shield, you will have to try hard to knock her off her feet. <br><br>Physical Weak Point: Aira is swift and fluid, but not particularly strong, nor does she take too many hits should you slip past her guard. Her attacks are meant to expose enemies stiffness, should she meet an enemy who is equally matched or who is too tough for her swift strikes she might end up in serious trouble. Similarly, without her shield she is a far less efficient fighter. <br><br>Social/Mental Edge: Aira is an extremely motivated girl, and is eager to learn, picking up skills quickly. Even in defeat or retreat, she pushes on, and as a result she works extremely well in pressure.<br><br>Social/Mental Weak Point: Aira tends to internalize her feelings a lot, hiding them behind her smile, prioritizing others over herself to the point she forgets to take care of herself. She also grows furious should anyone attempt to hurt people for no reason, even when she knows very well she should not intervene. <br><br>Magical Theme (If Any): None. <br><br>Special Weaknesses (If Any): Feels compelled to protect people - even though she might feel they are taking advantage of her. Will always try to avoid bloodshed when fighting intelligent creatures. <br><br>Preferred Fighting Style: Sword and shield, good ol' fisticuffs.

He's been a social liability to his family since he left adolescence, so they more or less fund his excursions so long as it keeps him out of Midlands politics.<br><br><strong>Physical Edge:</strong> Fit, quick and light on his feet<br><strong>Physical Weak Point:</strong> He relies a great deal on precision, and his overall strength leaves perhaps something to be desired.<br><strong>Social/Mental Edge:</strong> A charismatic and well-educated noble.

The physical force side of Manipulation magic is where he shines, but that's not to say he's lacking in the mental side either.<br><strong>Special Weaknesses (If Any):</strong> Asher takes challenges very seriously, and will almost certainly never turn them down; only cases when his life is going to be threatened excessively, and even then he can still be convinced. He also has a near-compulsive desire to smell nice; he carries several vials of perfume in his personal effects for the express purpose of having enough on his travels; Asher's favorites usually include leather, sandalwood, and musky scents with other notes to accent them; he grows increasingly frazzled the longer he goes without applying any.<br><strong>Preferred Fighting Style:</strong> Fast, lightly armored, and magically enhanced

Rhuardh's hair is a bluish-white and his eyes are a similar colour. He is about 100, reckoned as a young adult who had come of age among his mother's people, although his body is not quite yet to full maturity. He is very lithe and slender like most of his mother's people, and he is rather more beautiful than handsome, so much so that many who see him for the first time tend to do double-takes on him, and he has been mistaken for female more than once.<br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Rhuardh's mother was of the Blanqua Elves, who was a rebellious daughter of one of the nobles, who had escaped from their home and wound up living with a Norori tribesman who loved her, and she eventually bore him a half-elven son. However, as he was an ordinary human he aged much more quickly than his wife or son, and he passed away from natural causes thirty years later, when Rhuardh was still a child. His mother was then forced to return to the Blanqua, and while she was forgiven her son was never truly accepted by his other relatives and elven society. He showed an incredible aptitude for music, like both his father and mother, and received the training of a bard, and is skilled in playing the mandolin and the ivory flutes that his mother's people are famous for. He was, however, bullied by his peers, and around the time his mother was forced into a second marriage he inadvertently caused severe injury to one of his bullies while avoiding being struck. As his bully was the son of an influential noble, for his offence he was exiled from the lands of the Blanqua, and made a living as an itinerant bard in the northern lands, playing music, reciting poetry, and bringing news around the lands from the banks of the Thangres river to the mountain border of Aquilonia.<br><strong>Physical Edge:</strong> He is agile and dexterous, quick with his hands and quicker on his feet.<br><strong>Physical Weak Point</strong>: Rhuardh is very thin and as such is lacking in raw physical strength.<br><strong>Social/Mental Edge:</strong> Rhuardh is sharp of mind and perceptive, able to notice subtle details that escape most observers.<br><strong>Social/Mental Weak Point:</strong> Isolated for much of his life and traumatised by his history, he tends to keep his feelings to himself, deeply bottled inside. Like many bards he is fond of strong drink, which he uses to clear his throat as well as cope with life.<br><strong>Magical Theme (If Any):</strong> He possesses the skills of a bard, and his music can influence the moods and minds of those who hear him.&nbsp; He can put his listeners into a calm sleep, and can even induce hallucinatory visions with his music.<br><strong>Preferred Fighting Style:</strong>&nbsp; He prefers using light weapons such as daggers and rapiers that make best use of his agility while not requiring too much muscle to use. He can also use a crossbow fairly well and is accurate with one, although he has difficulty with bows as they tend to require strength he does not have.

				Tyr, can I get you to change just a bit more? The Elves do not have a college and humans are not allowed in the Elven lands. The Elves however travel frequently into human lands and can be persuaded with a lot of gold to take on an apprentice. May I suggest changing "he transferred to an elven mage college," to something along the lines of "His parents bribed an elven mage into taking him on as an apprentice."<br><br>This can lead to a lot more knowledge of Elven magic. His Elven Master can also help him with the corruption thing, giving him some methods to contain it and use it. (note:<strong> human mage Masters forbid the use of anything demonic or dark in nature,</strong> hence when he becomes apprenticed to the Elf, he is able to tap into these forces with the knowledge of the Elves, who are not so finicky. They use whatever they can to accomplish what they want. Yes they are haughty by nature, but also greedy for gold. Also they are not allowed to teach in the Midlands Mage College, but are allowed to take classes. They do this with a great deal of tongue in cheek humor. Pretending to be impressed while secretly laughing at the humans.)<br><br>Doing this will allow you to use a wider variety of spells, but of course in the beginning level you have to rely on wits and making friends with the fighters you find. Does that work?<br><br>I suggest you edit directly instead of using a copy paste. Much easier.&nbsp; &nbsp;;D<br><br>------<br><br>Stormwyrm I like it a lot. Brings in mind the simple fact that Blanca seldom reach over 5 feet tall. His Mom had to be tall for her race. And the Norori are very tall and muscular, like the average is over 6 feet tall and the tallest would be closer to 8 feet. The picture in my mind of a tall brawny Norori warrior falling for a tiny Blanca elf is sweet. Had to have been a very painful childbirth, and he should be a bit taller and stronger than the rest of the Blanca. Thin maybe, but not quite into his maturity yet is good. He will grow!<br><br>---------<br><br>Raven, I like your character very much, lots of potential there. I do not see any problems. Remember you will have nothing on you when you wake up in the cave. No weapons and no armor, no possessions except the clothes you wore to bed, if any.<br><br>-------<br>Affy, I love your character and I think it is very well done. You arrive with nothing as well, everyone is equal in that respect. <br><br>------<br><br>Muse you know I love Jord! He is a great character! Will be much needed and his ability to fly is not magical, so he won't be limited. Remember the Faela are seldom found outside of Elven Lands. They are not known for being quite that adventurous. Will put him in a unique position of being out of his normal element!<br><br>----------<br><br>Going to do my character in a separate post, as I have yet to get it finalized in Google.<br><br><br>

				(http://cdn.vanillaforums.com/baldursgate.vanillaforums.com/FileUpload/00/bd542086fb119c0545cc6a0445232c.png)<br><br><br>Name: Reginald Kane,&nbsp; Nicknamed "Owl"<br><br>Race/Species: Human/elf<br><br>Gender: Male<br><br>Sexuality: Bi curious<br><br>Appearance: Shoulder length dark brown hair, deep brown eyes, slightly olive toned skin. 5'8" and slender but toned build. Ears are almost but not quite pointed.<br>&nbsp;<br>Brief History: Owl was born to a prostitute who sold him into slavery when he was only 10 years old. His father was a curious elf who had no interest in raising a half human child. His mother was creeped out by his uncanny ability to see things and hear things that others could not. She was the one who gave him the nickname Owl, and it stuck. She found a rogue who wanted an apprentice and thought the youngster would make an excellent thief. He gave her fifty gold crowns for the boy, with the promise he would set the Owl free when he turned 20.<br><br><br>His new owner trained him in the art of thievery and lock picking. Sending the young boy out into the street to steal and con people into giving him gold or food. By the age of 18, he had become so good the aged Master gave him his freedom. The Master took half of whatever Owl managed to steal, so he worked very hard in his trade. The elderly Master thief died shortly after giving Owl his freedom. Owl mourned his loss as the only father figure he had ever known.<br><br>Now he works as a mercenary, taking jobs few will accept. He is daring, cunning and very devious. He works for himself.&nbsp; He does not know what it is to love or be loved. His mother tolerated him, to her he was a nuisance that she got rid of as soon as she legally could. <br><br>He does not even know if he can tolerate a woman. To him they are all like his mother. Using the men and never giving anything but their body in return. Over time he has become very pragmatic about it. He figures he may have to look for a woman some day, but he is not in any hurry. He can take care of himself.<br><br><br>Physical Edge: Wiry and strong, extremely dexterous and fast on his feet. Has an uncanny ability to see well in the dark and move silently.<br><br>Physical Weak Point: Has a bad habit of not eating properly, and liking strong drink far too much. When drunk he loses a lot of his edge.<br><br>Social/Mental Edge: He is friendly to those he sees are potential 'victims' of his light fingers, wary of those he sees as rivals. Very good at detecting hidden meanings and political intrigue.<br><br>Social/Mental Weak Point: He is wary of all women, not that he dislikes them so much as he does not trust them. He can appreciate the feminine form, but unwilling to initiate any conversation or relationship.<br><br>Magical Theme (If Any): As a half elf, he has some talent for magic, but has never been formally trained. There is a chance he is using the talent he has to invoke a bit of illusion. He can move silently and almost invisibly at times. But it is a very unconscious and instinctive thing and totally untrained.<br><br>Special Weaknesses (If Any): Has an unusually weak stomach. Is allergic to insect venom of almost any type. This makes him almost terrified of bugs!<br><br>Preferred Fighting Style: Uses daggers and short sword almost exclusively. Proficient with a bow of any type. Will do a lot of dodging and rolling to try and stay behind his opponent. Or if pressed too hard he will seemingly disappear into the shadows.

				@ Verasaille: His parents bribed an elven mage into taking him on as an apprentice. His skill of Illusory magic raised to a higher proficiency, as he was able to disguise himself, not wanting to stand out. Under his apprenticeship, he learned about Elven culture, specifically the difference between the "rules" building both human and elven magic. Now able to dabble in both styles, he was able to to control different schools of music. Darius became more interested in learning the origins of metamagical feats, wanting to combine his knowledge of different schools into specific uses. In addition, his elven master helped him focus and manipulate the corruption within him, however he is not at a skill level to contain or eliminate it.<br><br>Good? Also, I copy-paste from my textpad because sometimes my internet cuts out in the middle of me posting, so I lose what I typed because it didn't send. :-\

				<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/80/Apic867.png)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Tenthra Matal<br><strong>Race/Species:</strong> Human <br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Hetero<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> Tenthra's skin is lightly tanned from hours in the sun. Her body shows the signs of years of constant physical activity with irregular eating habits, mostly due to fluctuations in ownership. Though she is quite comely and full breasted, she appears underfed and wiry. Her hair is short and blond, bleached heavily by sunlight. Her red piercing eyes are teling of her witch bloodline. The clothing she wears, if it could be called that, covers very little of her skin making it easy to identify her as a slave of the Midlands nobility.<br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Tenthra is a slave descended from a long line of witches. In the past her people lived safely among the people of the Midlands. Eventually, her family's magic was outlawed and those that practiced it were imprisoned or enslaved. Generations later, Tenthra was born into slavery and has never known freedom. She has learned a little of her family's magic, though formal training is impossible. The slave families of her area also practice a form of dance that doubles as an almost martial art similar to Capoeira. Tenthra is also minimally skilled in this as well.<br><strong><br>Physical Edge:</strong> Tenthra is deceptively strong despite her small frame and is more than capable of taking a hit<br><strong>Physical Weak Point:</strong> Is untrained in martial combat, and probably malnourished.<br><strong>Social/Mental Edge:</strong> Tenthra is unusually perceptive, capable of noticing small details that others wouldn't. <br><strong>Social/Mental Weak Point:</strong> As a slave, Tenthra is illiterate and has little education. She also has little self-confidence and no sense of personal value.<br><strong>Magical Theme (If Any):</strong> Her training in magic is not formal, so she is weaker in ability than an apprentice mage. Her specialty would be Manipulation with some smatterings of Elemental training.<br><strong>Special Weaknesses (If Any):</strong> Tenthra will almost always obey a direct command and tends to apologize at the first sign of conflict.<br><strong>Preferred Fighting Style:</strong> Mostly improvised combat with minor Capoeira-like movements

				since there's a wait list now, figure I might as well put one on said list :-)<br><br><strong>Name:</strong> Tarathiel "Tari" Foxfire<br><strong>Race/Species:</strong> Elf (Grenida)<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Pansexual<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> Small, slender and lithe, even for an&nbsp; elf. Together with his large violet-blue eyes, long auburn hair, and soft, lightly-freckled skin, this gives him a rather feminine look. <br><div class="floatleft">(https://40.media.tumblr.com/b5f1c1f99886da3226cf6ed9b4603548/tumblr_nz31794Z841tk4029o1_1280.png)</div><strong>Brief History:</strong> Tari could be considered "wasted potential" by some. The son of a wealthy artisan, he was inducted into the pampered life of a magician's acolyte in the city of Oldorin. Sadly - at least for the ambitions of his father and the insight of his mentor, Tari just didn't have the rigorous heart needed to master the art of true wizardry. He picked up a few tricks, and learned some things, but chafed under the regimen, and rankled at some of the things needed to learn 'true" magic. So... he left. Nobody expects an elf with such an honored opportunity to just walk away, but that's what Tari did, packing his things and hieing off into the wilderness... where he surely would have become meat for something unpleasant, had it not been for a bandit company. After a quick dazzle with his handful of tricks, he became a recruit, adding his talents to the waylaying of unwanted or overburdened travelers. It's a good life, with lots of leisure and adventure, and enough danger to be exciting... but magic is not so lightly set aside. Of late Tarathiel has been feeling a calling, an <em>urge</em> of sorts, leading the young elf to try to experiment with what he thinks could be druidic magic.<br><br><strong>Physical Edge:</strong> Tari is agile, quick-fingered, and flexible. he also has a surprisingly strong stomach for alcohol. or at least, he's a happy drunk.<br><strong>Physical Weak Point:</strong> How do muscle? it's not that Tarathiel is <em>weak</em>, exactly. He can lift and carry things alright. He just isn't real apt at pro-active application of muscle and elbow grease. below-average in the muscle department. This also means he takes hits harder than the average elf - who tend to be pretty bad at taking hits in general.<br><br><strong>Social/Mental Edge:</strong> He's gregarious, loquacious, and knows lots of big words. He's learned, but not particularly erudite, and prefers swanning around a big social gathering than being hunched over a musty old time. That said, he's done lots of hunching of that sort, and has a broad, if somewhat shallow depth of a lot of useful things.<br><strong>Social/Mental Weak Point:</strong> He's kind of... well, maybe not <em>lazy</em>... Indolent? He'll work when there's work to be done, but he'd rather not, and is prone to procrastination. He'd simply rather have fun than sweat, unless he can do both.<br><br><strong>Magical Theme (If Any):</strong>&nbsp; At the academy of Olodorin, he studied for year under master Aelgwynn... and in that time only mastered a few flashy tricks of the elemental and illusion sorts (though he had an honest interest in time magic, Master Aelgwynn judged it too advanced for him.) In his life among woodland bandits, Tari's magic has taken a more naturalistic bent, using the elements to heal, illusion for camouflage or to mask scout calls, that sort of thing.<br><strong>Special Weaknesses (If Any):</strong> His attempt to walk away from magic has led to an uncomfortable discover; you can't walk away from magic, <em>it won't let you</em>. it's almost like a separate force, compelling use, practice, and learning, and if he resists the call when it comes, he finds bad fortune or illness coming his way. Sadly, his resolve to not become a hunchbacked old sorcerer is one of the few things he's really set his mind to, so he often suffers from what others might consider bad luck. <br><br><strong>Preferred Fighting Style:</strong>&nbsp; Fighting fair isn't just bad strategy, it's possibly lethal for Tarathiel. he falls first on bandit tricks, then on ranged combat, then on running the hell away; if pressed into a "fair" fight, well, he knows what end of a blade goes where, and hopes for the best.<br><br><hr><br>Just in case, I also have a dwarf that could be fun to play, though I lean towards Tari in preference.<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Taavia Valdottir</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Taavia Valdottir<br><strong>Race/Species:</strong> Dwarf<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Heterosexual, possibly open to encounters<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> 4'4", with thick smooth pale blonde hair on her head, which matches her fair pink complexion and blue eyes nicely. She's well-muscled, which on her frame still leaves full curves. <br><div class="floatleft">(https://41.media.tumblr.com/055ef09e9a5d7ccad2a10861027e65c2/tumblr_nz31794Z841tk4029o3_1280.jpg)</div><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Taavia is a minor noble just recently into her majority. During the fifty-five years of her youth (which her elders of course regard as misspent, as elders do) she learned the arts of the jeweler as well as militia training, as well as your standard and necessary experiences trading with the Sky-landers, and politicking with the other nobles of Grilgunnammur.<br><br><strong>Physical Edge:</strong> As a dwarf, Taavia is well-grounded and hard to get off her feet (unless she goes voluntarily...) She also as a powerful tolerance for pain and toxins, though she certainly isn't going to seek either out!<br><strong>Physical Weak Point:</strong> She's not tall. She's kind of short even for a dwarf. This has certain drawbacks anywhere not designed for dwarves or smaller beings, but also in combat, larger opponents can be a challenge to overcome; training against such foes can only do so much to overcome the natural disadvantage.<br><br><strong>Social/Mental Edge:</strong> Taavia is an able leader of people, having spent much of her life in a position over others - but not so far over them that she can afford arrogance. She can treat with huskarl and jarl on the same day productively, and leaving both feel they have had their time well-spent.<br><strong>Social/Mental Weak Point:</strong> She's stubborn, as hard to get off of her own opinion as she is to get off the ground. Under pressure she tends towards snap decisions, and follows them through for good or ill.<br><br><strong>Magical Theme (If Any):</strong>&nbsp; Dwarves aren't particularly known for "magic", though they have excellent vision in the dark, and are able to read stone, dirt, and draft the way an elf might read trees, sky, and wind.<br><strong>Special Weaknesses (If Any):</strong> Somewhat racist towards non-dwarves. This is less actual hostility and more lack of familiarity with a dash of xenophobia. she barely knows anything about the other common peoples, save what she has learned from dwarven sources - which are rarely terribly flattering. <br><strong>Preferred Fighting Style:</strong> She's able with just about any common weapon, plus one or two highly technical ones pretty much never seen outside of dwarven holdfasts. Is most comfortable with a good ol' tw-handed hammer or maul.</div></div>

Some of the other peasant families of her area also practice a form of dance that doubles as an almost martial art similar to Capoeira. Tenthra is minimally skilled in this as well.

				Thought I would shake things up a bit. Have fun with three Corgi sized bats with a four foot wingspan and lots of teeth. Yes they bite, and when the door opens (when Asher flips the lever) you may get more fun... &gt;:)

				Remember bats are blind, and they only use their high pitched squeals to bounce off the walls and other objects as radar. They can smell really well, of course and will home in on the smell of blood. <br><br>No magic yet, you will have to use your wits and the weapons you have.

				Glad to see someone is still here! Tyr, I think you misunderstood my description of the door. The opening is about ten feet off the floor of the cavern, You will have to use the climbing gear to get up there.<br><br>Also the bats left and there may be <strong>something</strong> on the other side of the door.
