				<div class="floatleft">(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg142/ElectricBadger/cosplay__elf_ducan_by_yuegene-d4q4lvw_zpsdeb3f09e.jpg)&nbsp; &nbsp;</div><strong><span style="font-size: 24pt;" class="bbc_size">Nys Vendatti</span></strong><br>Elven Magus<br>116 years old, 5'8", 150 lbs. <br><br>Nys Vendatti (Niss Venn dot ee) is the young scion of the Vendatti clan, a group of elves committed to trade, diplomacy and neutrality.&nbsp; The clan has a long history as nomads and craftsman, and several hundred years ago used their travels and knowledge toward trade.&nbsp; They now stand as a wealthy group with a mixed reputation: they are known to trade with anyone, for anything.&nbsp; They are the source turned to for the exotic, strange, or blatantly illegal.&nbsp; Recently they’ve gained both renown and condemnation as sellers of exceptional slaves.&nbsp; <br><br>The physical appearance of the clan – silver hair and black nails - is said to derive from a history as dusk elves coupled with an influx of drow heritage, as they utilized marriage unions to gain entry into the markets of the underworld.&nbsp; Relations are maintained to this day, and the Vendatti clan routinely utilize the upper tunnels of the underdark – one reason that attempts to curtail their illegal activities are futile and damaging, as only the ruler would lose access to their services (and may find the clan willing to invest in a more amenable government).&nbsp; <br><br>As the only son of the Highlord Varthen Vendatti, a remote and stern if loving man, Nys was raised with a clear expectation to one day assume a role of leadership within the clan although the long lives of elven kind imply any ascension to complete leadership is centuries away.&nbsp; Varthen holds several noble titles from many lands, given as reward or purchased for the convenience of nobility, and some devolve to Nys as well; however, they put little stock in them, and the only one Nys views as anything more than a credential is his clan title: the Silver Prince of the Vendatti. His training began with a bevy of tutors.&nbsp; It was broad and included both magic and swordplay as well as some less conventional means of achieving goals.&nbsp; His father also attempted to teach him the skills of a master merchant, but the boy’s pride sometimes interfered with his silver tongue.&nbsp; Nys’ mother was killed when he was still a boy, about 70 years ago, when the family of a slave attempted to rescue him by force.&nbsp; <br><br>Now still a young adult by elven standards, Nys is nevertheless well traveled and much older than most mortals he encounters.&nbsp; His goals involve a swift rise to power, proving himself capable and bringing the Vendatti wealth and security.&nbsp; As the only son of the Highlord, expectations of him are high – possibly unachievably so.&nbsp; He is impatient and reckless by elven standards although most short lived races don’t have the same perspective on time.&nbsp; He has never felt any lack of bravery or honor, although 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; His attitude towards schooling is mixed; he is excited about the opportunity to learn, but finds it difficult to shift from a leadership role to that of a student.&nbsp; <br><br>His attitude towards others is a bit mercenary, a carryover from his clan’s outlook toward business.&nbsp; He dislikes inflicting harm and understands antagonism is unproductive, but is ultimately goal driven and opportunity or desperation can quickly dismiss manners.&nbsp; &nbsp;He has extensive experience with slaves and sees nothing wrong with power and subservience, although he does view them as cherished investments and decries abuse as inhumane and an unforgivable waste of assets.&nbsp; Hopefully, as school progresses, he will begin to find himself humbler and more caring.&nbsp; 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 his two younger sisters.&nbsp; <br><br>Hooks:<br>-A virile young man deprived of a proper courtesan and household, Nys is open to opportunities for hedonism.&nbsp; <br>-He is alert for any knowledge, allies, or opportunities to give himself or his clan an advantage; he needs to return with more than grades and degrees to be successful.&nbsp; <br>-Profit.<br>-Instructions could be sent from his father to negotiate, befriend, eliminate, or spy on someone in or around the school.&nbsp; <br><br><br><br>As a potential character link, if anyone wishes to they could take the role of Nys' servant; a prized and respected companion sent to learn as well, but also expected to be loyal and obedient.&nbsp; <br><br>Character Sheet (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=600357)<br><br><del>Character sheet (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6iL3wiomP1PeFp0U0J1eDEyeE0/edit?usp=sharing)</del> Old Sheet

				<div class="floatright">(http://www.vixenrose.com/hosting/files/253/stuff%20for%20rp/wiz.jpg)</div>Na'ima Rabd-Al-Rashida bint Omar ibn Khalid al-Fulan<br><br>http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=590302 (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=590302)<br><br>The only daughter of a wealthy silk merchant in the Emerald Sultanate she started displaying magical powers at an early age, her father was hesitant to send his only girl child off to receive training in order to harness her ability so instead of having her attend a school he merely tried to keep her powers under control by lots of prayers. It all seemed to work as his young daughter was spending all her times praying feverishly to try and contain the evil that was oozing in her head. But even with all her prayers her growing powers soon proved to be impossible to contain and things started happening around her, disembodied voices would whisper unintelligent messages, faint glowing orbs would be seen in the dark. Since her prayers weren't working she came to the conclusion that the Gods had forsaken her and she was damned. So to spare her father the shame she picked up a dagger and used it to slit her wrists open, all that virgin blood potent with her magical energies attracted the attention of the spirits of the desert and as thy rushed to devour her immortal soul her father found his dying daughter and calling upon the Gods he used his powers to seal her wounds but the close brush with death forever left her marked by the underworld and she would forever keep hearing ghostly whispers that can be used to help her find and identify the undead.<br><br>Her father finally understood that his daughter needed schooling or the powers of the underworld would come back and devour her this time so he quickly bundled her up along with her possessions and traveled to the great university of Redhurst hoping that they could help her or at least point him towards a good place where his priceless girl could be safe. To his relief the Academy teachers decided to take her in and teach her to harness her abilities. Of course having grown up being told her abilities where evil to her this was a betrayal of the highest order, her own father handing her over to these evil wizards!<br><br>Being an obedient girl she did as her father had instructed her to and set about trying to learn to control her powers as good as she could, the teachers soon found that the dagger she used to try and kill herself with had formed a bond with her and turned into her magical focus. The second shock of her stay at the Academy was at the end of her first year and she took the aptitude test and it was clear that her talent lay in necromancy. To powers over the dead came naturally to her, while she struggles to even light a candle with flint and steel.<br><br>She isn't a very tall young woman, and her tendency to try and shrink into herself whenever someone is watching. Her brown eyes tend to peer curiously at the world around her through her dark brown hair that usually hangs down over her face hiding it from view, in general she wears the necromancer robes she has been handed to her by the teachers, though she does enjoy wearing elegant silk dresses that her father gave her before dumping her off in this forsaken place. As she doesn't have much in the way of female curves she relies on her elegant dresses on those occasions when she wants to feel like a woman and not just a freak that is good with corpses.

She wears little jewelry, a set of earrings and nothing else. Indeed, the elf wears little clothing at all, Melda prefers lighter wear such as a simple cloth wrap and set of pants, preferring to go barefoot. She is always smiling and rarely cautious, being raised to ask questions and try until she succeeds.<br><br>&nbsp;Mel was born to Zel'Paio, a powerful archmage, and an elf swordsmaster whom she never learned the name of. Melda was taught from a young age to respect, but be curious of, magic in all it's forms. Her mother had her schoooled in all forms of magic, to see which she grew interested in most. What her mother didn't count on was her interest in physical combat. Melda would often go into the tower's labyrinth, where Zel kept many of her 'pets' that had been experimented on and warped by magic. Sometimes, she didn't come out for days, returning sweating and naked, a giant grin upon her face. A message came for her one day, an invitation to Redhurst Academy. Melda was all too happy to accept, taking only a meager amount of gear and little bit of gold, before going through the portal.<br><br>Hooks:<br>- Melda is a thrillseeker first and foremost. Everything is a challenge to her and every challenge is to be met head on.<br>- Her mother has a great deal of enemies, many of them mages. And many of those mages have children, who may try to attack her daughter as a way to get to her.
