A New Dawn: Character Bios

[Vyriello]

Please make a post following this format with the information about your character. I will complete one as well to demonstrate what I mean. Please note that, while you shouldn't change what is in here (start using magic if your post doesn't say you know how), your character isn't set in stone; try and develop them as characters throughout the RP. Also please note that int his RP, you will be playing characters who are fairly fresh adventurers. That means no Grand Arch-Mages or fighters who can cut their way through an entire army, although the character I post will be a bit more powerful than what everyone else should be.

[Vyriello]

Name: Tsevelanth Emelray
Age: 137
Race: Elve
Profession: Bard and Thief
Description: 5'4" 128 lbs. Slightly tanned skin, long red-blonde hair, and clad loosely in emerald-green travling clothes. His overall appearance is casual and he usually bears a sarcastic smirk on his face.
Special Abilities: Tsevelanth is an accomplished thief and some talent on the Viol, but his primary talent is with a bow-he is a gifted archer, even amongst Elves. He has only the slightest magical capabilities.
Personality: He is charming, sneaky, and quick-witted. He has an eye for the finer things in life, coming from a noble family. He has a burning passion for Emeralds and will do just about anything to lay his hands on them.
Extra: Although he wears the signet ring of the Emelray family (Elven nobility) he is no longer a noble himself. When he stole the ring and his father's bow, he was disowned. He has traveled far to escape the hunt and now spends most of his time in human lands.

[Hermione]

Name: Dolmine
Age: 21
Race: Human
Profession: Cartographer (and of course secret spy!)
Description: Bland.
Special Abilities: An excellent eye for proportions and distances, a certain artistic talent, and an ability to efface herself until she's just an uninteresting part of the background...
Personality: isn't quite sure what to do when she actually has to deal with people... much prefers to observe them unseen!
Extra: She likes her job because she thinks of herself as one unimportant cog in the giant governmental machine and would be very upset and unsettled if anyone tried to suggest she was in any way important. Takes a secret pride in the accuracy of her maps, and her sole hobby is devising better inks for them (faster-drying, fade-resistant, water-proof, etc.).


Dolmine spies for the tiny island country of Lychland. Four millenia ago the whole island was the cemetary of a race of beings called "Tomahy", who are now gone, for whatever reason. It was settled by a small group of elven mages who wished to study undisturbed approximately two thousand years ago, and eventually a school, and then a city spread around them, progressive walls carefully built to keep out the restless dead of the Tomahy, who could not be controlled by any of the human priests or magi who moved there. The elves thought the dead a marvelous deterrant to disturbance and left things alone, and besides a few gnomes and halflings, who were more interested in the school than in becoming heros, this was all of the island's inhabitants.
The entire island is PERHAPS a day's march across -very small, for a country. It imports over ninety percent of its food, for who could risk farming there, and what would they farm in any case? It is a desolate place! Trade -CONTROLLED trade- is therefore incredibly important to it. Fortunately for the survival of its citizens, Lychland is very strategically valuable, a pivotal point for several trade routes. It only lay undisturbed for so long because of its ghostly -and inimicable!- inhabitants. Ships can only land at carefully coordinated times, with the help of the mages who live there.
Then about five hundred years ago there was an enormous magical disturbance there, which no one seems to know anything about, and all the Tomahy... "manifestations" disappeared overnight. The night of a lunar eclipse and very extreme tide, in fact. In any case, seeing the island unprotected, three of the five countries next to the island (told you it was strategically important!) immediately sent invasion parties to secure the land for themselves.
The school mages were devastated by the magical occurance still, which messed with the magic of everyone who came within reach of the island (including that of priests), and Lychland retained its independence only through the quick thinking of one of its resident gnomes, Anadrin Ipsquiggle. She became the first Lady of Lychland, a title which is elective rather than hereditary. There have been only two successors, a Lord, and another Lady, both elven. Lady Ipsquiggle managed to gather important representatives from all five of the countries close to Lychland, and a number of others from throughout the inland Empire on the Southern continent (many important trade goods come from there) and install each in their own newly-constructed embassies while the navies of the three invading countries were still fighting and jockeying for position amongst themselves. Lychland has walked a thin diplomatic line since, striving to keep its neutral and independent status.
The Wizarding school there never recovered sufficiently to aide these efforts, and Lychland still relies on information and diplomacy to keep it stable and sovereign. Lychland has become renowned for knowing news before it occurs, and for sticking its nose into everything... but never interfering. Diplomats from Lychland are often used as arbitors to settle others' disputes.

Dolmine truly is a very tiny, very minor cog in a vast network of spies and informants and uncertain allies, and is entirely unaware of what any compatriats of hers might currently be up to.

[Dathron]

Name:Missfarlo Rissadren

Age:28

Race:Human

Proffesion:Snively Wizard, and Chemist

Description:6'5, 120 lbs. He is very pale, tall man. Runny nose.
Personality:Quiet, keeps to himself. On the subject of magic, though, you could be there all day, and he wouldn't be done. Specializes in Illusions. Doesn't ever come out of his lab, in his tower except to get food. He is smart, knows every textbook on magic, but when it comes to actually casting the spell, he is nearly useless. He is too nervous about how it will come out, whether it will work, or if the textbook on the spell was correct, that he messes it all up.
Now and then though, it works for him.


Its getting there.

[leafsdude]

Name: Gul'dan (If anyone knows this reference, you're a geek! Hello fellow geek!)

Age: 125

Race: Orc Ally

Profession: Politition, Warlock and Modivational Speaker.

Description: 7'5, 400lbs. Green skin, wavy brown hair, dirty fingernails.

Personality: Obnoxious, loud, annoying, arrogant, death obsessed. He has lots of magical power and strength, but has no idea what to use it for and where to stop. He tries to kill everything that moves, but in the end, he always ends up either near death or second best in the hunt.

Hopefully I can actually get into the whole RPG stuff. It's still a bit confusing to me, but I think I'll get the hang of it quick enough.

[frizzer]

age:- 42
Race :- Human
Proffesion:- Mecenary
Description:- Personality:-Garrelous is 6ft and 160lb. A deceptively large frame harnesses untold strength. In his youth he would have sold his own Mother but the soft streak in him would have compelled him to go and save her. He bares scares from numerous adventures, but his biggest Quest is to find Eldina, a beautiful elven girl he loved and lost many years before. He walks the lands now in search of her and a quick way to make money.
Special abilities:- He was taught many secrets off Eldina, and although cannot perform it to Elven levels, has a vast knowledge of earth magic.

[dumbledor]

Name: Buram Mudaneas
Race: Halfling
Age: 17
Proffession: Scraping by(however necissary, )

Description/personality: Buram is a rather non-descript man, just entering the prime of his physical stature, save for his unnerving tendancy to disappear. People have often found themselves talking to the empty space where they had thought this quiet lad had stood.
Despite his rather shadowy nature and mysterious background, it is hard not to trust his open inocence and helpful nature. The poor lad seems to cringe and close up like a clam if he even hears mention of his family.

Special abilities:
Hide in plain sight(if within 10ft of a shadow)
Very good at escaping/wriggling free
Always dirty/scruffy even if just washed up.

[justthisguy]

Name : Goeffry Sheepsfoot
Age : unknown
race : Half elf
Proffession: ranger/ swordsman

Description: an orphan, Geoffry is your typical half elf. taller than most humans and lanky in build, but has unusaully broad shoulders for a half elf. He is dark haired and the tips of his ears are just a little pointed. he wears tall soft leater boots and breeches, his shirts is a mottled jumble of greens, browns and grays. When armored, he wears a light leaf mail over a leather jerkin. He carries a nicely crafted long bow and is quite skilled with it. In combat he weilds a long slightly curved single edged blade in his right hand and a shorter version of the same in his left ( katana and tanto) when fighting with two blades, or just the longer when using a single weapon with both hands. He studied for several years learning the forms and is recognized as a blade master in the school he trained in. He graduated last month and has been wandering the lands in seach of a worthy cause to lend his sword too.

Special Abilities: part of his training involved the medical arts too learn where to strike and how to strike and how to cure most battle field wound with the proper materials. He has a knack for healing under stressful conditions (he does not know he has a latent psionic healing ability).

Personality: Geoffry is a friendly happy go lucky youth, he has a penchant for wine and fair maidens( or matrons) and loves to dance! He has often in the past avoided a fight with his smooth talking and quick thinking after asking (and her accepting!) the wrong lady to dance with him. When that has not worked his fleet feet have saved him the indignity of a black eye or worse.

Extra; Goeffry tends to act rash at times, but then will also hold back and wait for an opportune moment to "lend his adie".

(on a side note, this sounds like fun! I ussually have to be the GM so it will be fun to play for a change!!, jtg)

[bluesparrowhawk]

Name: Delphinium "Doc" Jellyknobble
Age: 27
Race: gnome
Profession: physician and pharmacist
Description: She's about 3'7'', maybe 55 lbs soaking wet. Cinnamon colored skin, vivid orange hair (kind of like strawberry blond taken to a ridiculous extreme), and turquoise eyes. She is a quiet, observant, and calm woman who is rather striking. Since she is a professional, she is always clean and practically dressed. Her clothes are not particularly fine, for it is not known when they will be spattered with random bodily fluids. Her hair is kept closely bound to her head in rows of small braids that lay down her back. She is never seen without her physician's bag and backpack, for they contain her medical supplies and reference books.
Special Abilities: Eidetic memory
Personality: As said before, she is calm and professional. A deep caring streak is what prompted her to learn medecine. While not shy or retiring, she is reserved when in the company of others and is difficult to come to know. When she was released from medical training, the physician who taught her passed on the Hippocratic Oath, and she takes its commands very seriously. Medecine is more of a vocation for her than a mere day job. Behind her calm exterior is a swift mind and a sarcastic sene of humor.
Extra: Don't insult her honor as a doctor, seriously. There's wiggle room around "First do no harm".

Description: Kala is a rather small man with dark brown hair almost everywhere. He always shadows his eyes, which seem to sparkle and throw flames sometimes. He wears only lumps and there is no weapon visible. But in the lumps he's hiding a special weapon: It's the claw of a wolverine with nails as sharp as a sword. It can be thrown at enemies or used like a dagger with 5 blades.

Special abilities: Kala seems to be able to see the hidden things. He has the ability to speak with animals and has decent knowledge of Telekinesis. He can move invisible and throw flames by sheer will - sometimes.

Personality: Is confused about the abilities he has inherited and he can't control them by now. Is focused on obtaining "the spell". Doesn't care about other people and likes to be on his own or with animals. Will not fight unless forced to.

[aaron40]

Name: Chen Zen
Race: Human
Occupation: Warrior Monk/Martial Artist
Age: 29 (Due to meditation and training, he ages a bit slower then others)
Place of Origin: Lohan Hall Temple in the far east
Alignment: Lawful Nuetral - He lives by his iron codes of honor.
Diety: Non
Name of Clan: None
Favorite Drink: Dwarven Red Eye

-Statistics-
Strength: B-
Dexterity: A+
Constitution: B-
Wisdom: A
Intelligence: B-
Charisma: c-

Warrior Monk special abilities and skills:
- Profeciency in hand to hand martial arts. His hands and feet are as tough as iron, and can pummel his enemies down with lightning speed.
- Can channel a subtle energy called Ki to perform phenomenal feats of strength and agility. His training allows him to withstand and dodge blows as well as resisting all but the most determined magical attacks.
- As his means of attack, he focuses spiritual energy (Ki) into his hands and feet, allowing him to penetrate armor and tough hides and damage his opponents.
- Senses are heightened to such a degree that he can focus on his opponents and react quickly to almost any attack or surprise.
- Still Mind - a strong force of will and mental training allows him to resist attacks targeting his mind.
- Can resist most common diseases and poisons.

Martial Arts forms:

Storm Dragon - Inspired by the style of Shaolin Martial arts, the storm dragon form is characterized by strong forward momentum. The practitioner maintains a low stance and moves in wide arcs utilizing body weight to break the opponents defenses. Due to the low stance, practitioners of this form find themselves less mobile. In the hands of an experience master, many who find themselves on the recieving end of this form are hard pressed against an all-encompassing onslaught.

Drunken Boxing - One of the most controversial of Martial Arts styles, Drunken boxing involves weaving and staggering as if drunk, which allows the practitioner to easily dodge blows. The stumbling, lurching nature of this style and it's unusual fighting attacks tends to catch enemies off guard, making Drunken Boxing an incredibly dynamic and unpredictable style. However, this style truly shines when the practioner actually imbibes alcohol, allowing him to perform phenomenal feats of strength and bravery. Traditional masters look down on Drunken Boxing, believing it to be unethical but a brilliant display of drunken fighting can sometimes silence critics.

The Lo Fist - Chen Zens's master, Lo Wong , was considered to be one of the greatest martial artists in the world, being well known for his wisdom, skill and contribution to martial arts. However, it was the creation of the form known as the Lo Fist was what put him above the rest. Ironiclly enough, the form is actually a kicking style using techniques found in Tae Kwon Do, Capoeira, Muay Thai and various other Kung-Fu forms like Mok gar. Practitioners of this stlye usually only use the lead hand to defend against attacks while keeping the other hand behind to allow mobility. Masters of the Lo Fist are capable of fighting large groups of opponents without having to use their hands at all, for attack nor defense.

Will add more forms later...

Languages spoken:
Common and undercommon

Normal Items:
- A durable Jug which holds an extremly strong alcholic drink called Dwarven Red Eye. Used in combination with his Drunken Boxing fighting style.
- A wooly fur cloak made from frost worg fur. Used when traveling through cold regions

Weapons:
Hands of Buddha:
Although having mastered the art of hand to hand martial combat, the monk was not without a few problems when it came to defending against enemies who wielded weapon with great skill. The guantlets were a closely guarded treasure of the monastic Lohan order which was kept by the monk after he recovered it from a bandit after it was stolen from the temple. Not only is it incredibly manueverable in the monk's hands but it is also very durable, being able to resist the sharpest sword slashes and even a full blow from a warhammer. The way the wristguards are created, they were meant specifically for defensive uses only, yet still allowing the monk to attack with his Ki powered fists.

Magical Items:
None

Magic Training:
None
Cantrip spells: None
Spells: None
Spell Components: None

-Appearence-
Small yet well built, Chen Zen is about 125 lbs. Due to his many years of training, every fiber of muscle in his body is well toned and trained for speed and effeciency rather then brute strength. He wears a cloak to cover the top of his body and wears trousers that go down to his shin. Over his trousers, he wears a wrap that extend towards his knees.

-Fighting style-
Although Chen Zen wears no armor, and does not possess any magical abilities, he more then makes up for it with mastery of close ranged, hand to hand combat. He is more comfortable with his fist and body then with a weapon in his hand. He uses incredible speed and agility to avoid attacks and when fighting unarmed, he focuses spiritual energy into his hands and feet which allows him to penetrate armor.

[Victoria]

[glow=blue,2,300]--Bare with me I am new at this--[/glow]
Name: Victorirose

Age: 19

Race: Human female

Profession: none at the moment

Description: She is 5'4" (mostly all legs) and 118lbs and has a sleek tan muscular build. She has long brown hair and wears it in a pony tail or a single braid. Her eyes are brown as well her facial features are average but have the look as though she had already had a tough life; yet feminine enough to attract any lookers. She wears a basic tunic that is great for the warmer months and a pair of matching pants and boots that can be used for any weather her mother managed to dye it blue which was her favorite color. No real decoration other than the pants and boots have fringe. She stands tall and tries not to hunch so that people will not take advantage of her smallness. She also carried a bag that contained various items: (1) blue kercheif with white roses that had a protection spell on it, (1) red kercheif with white roses but there was nothing special about it {more to come.}

Special Abilities: She has the ability to use her mind to talk to others but only choses to use that ability under extreme circumstances and with others who know she has this ability. She has minor swordsman skills but can hold her own pretty well. She carries a short blade that belonged to her father and his steel shield.

Personality: She loves to meet knew people and makes friends most of the time some freak out cause she can read minds but a few have just shrugged it off and used it to their advantage when needed.

Extra: Victorirose was born in a far off kingdom her father was a knight of that realm but a poor one. All he had to offer his family was a modest home which did not bother Victorirose's mother because she was a modest woman. When Victorirose was small she started worrying about what her parents were thinking about how they never could do more for Victorirose. She approached them when she was able to speak her first sentence "why do you think so much it hurts my head. From then on her parents knew she was special but the people in the kingdom thought she was strange. Victorirose all her life wanted more and so on her eve of her 18th birthday she stowed away in the night with a small bag of food, her favorite outfit, her father's short blade and steel shield leaving behind all she new. So she wonders from here and there learning about all sorts of things which sometimes when shes not careful can get her into trouble....
