Mallis Twi

Height: 3'1"
Weight: 90
Hair: Dark Brown / Black
Eyes: Silver / Clear
Age: 26
Deity: none
Race: Halfling
Class: Monk

Mallis is the only son of his late father Balterus. Balterus was a well known and respected priest who prized his temple and his teachings over his own son. In desperate pursuit of his father's affection, he at the age of thirteen would kill people that fit his father's teachings in order to hear his father talk about him in the temple to his followers in a good way. However, his father was hung for the crimes, for the townfolk believed it was Balterus that killed, not Mallis. Mallis left his home and his past, never to return.

I can't say much about the next phase of his life, because I am writing the novella on it. All I can say is that Mallis's anger and depression left him to drink, he became insane through a helmet, and turned into the wonderful halfling you see now today.

(soon to be short stories… after the novella)
Afterward, Mallis tried coping with his insanity. He traveled the world looking for acceptance. He eventually found it under the tutelage of a group of Harpers known as the Sun Walkers: Raeg Althor, Tornacmes of the Blood, and Talderas D'Vor. Under their help, he calmed himself and was able to control his outbursts of bloodlust and anger. Soon he became a monk with an odd, but comforting humor. He still is haunted by his controlled insanity; however, as of now people can be sure he is one of the good guys.

Mallis as of now has joined the Red Army in pursuit of being though of as a good guy. He may laugh inappropriately and tick people off sometimes with his off humor, but it's the only thing really keeping him from turning over back to his past.

Trevel Miltern

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 230

Age: 25
Deity: Tymora

Trevel is the third son of Laerid Miltern, one of the Noble merchants of Suzail in Cormyr, and Julianna Dresault a war wizard. It was his mother's dream that he join the war wizards in hope that he would continue her families legacy in that fashion. His father paid for an education at the most pretigious school in Suzail, but Trevel spent more time with his father's caravan guards than his schoolbooks. After a short time it was obvious that Trevel was not even magically talented, let alone inclined. His father then tried to get Trevel to join the Purple Dragons. And after a short time he was accepted into the Purple Dragons. Trevel was with a caravan traveling through the Great Dale when it was attacked by goblins. Most of his possesions were taken from him in the raid, but still he suvived. As one of the few survivors he was chosen to go north and see what could be found and done about them. Soon he found himself in Narfell and followed the goblins to the city of Norwick. There he stays until something can be done.

He is a very friendly man, never intentionally hurting anyone. and is quick to apologise when he does. He dislikes injustice, and does what he can to help promote peace. He is willing to help anyone in need, and will back off when it is not needed. His voice is slow and measured, and his tone always cheerful.

She hails from a place unknown, not knowing her true birthplace, or her true race, although the large majority of her blood is definitely human (around 90%)
Aeris enjoys acting, cooking (although not particularly good at it), singing, dancing and anything fun.
Although she appears to be a ditzy girl who is care free, her past is a dark one which she wishes to forget.
Her feelings are quite brittle, easily shattered by the right people.. and sometimes she is easily scared or stressed.
She believes only in true love, 1 person per life, per eternity, although her actions do sometimes suggest otherwise (hints of flirtiness)

Grivel

Grivel Rasheren

Grivel is a Moon Elf who stands about 5' 8" in height. His hair is blonde which is rare for his breed. He is very slow to warm up to strangers, but fiercely loyal to those he calls friend. He lost his family and lived alone most of his life so he is somewhat antisocial, not making friends easily.
The Wolves have become his new family and he is very protective of them.

Although it doesn't come out often, he does have a pretty good sense of humor. He is devoted to Mielikki, but not overly zealous, therefore she has limited the powers he recieves from her. (This will change at a point in his life).

He doesn't care for laws and strict proceedures, but tries to adapt to the situation and is usually logical and flexible enough to come up with the right direction. This ability has earned him the respect of the other Wolves and he is one of their leaders.

Grivel has had little experience with women, other than hunting with them as equals. He fears the "L" word and has only said it to one woman. That turned out to be a mistake and he fears getting close to a woman even more now.

Character Name: Sasha Daâ€erfin
Race: Elf (Wood)
Character Occupation: Ranger
Character Age at Induction into the Camp: 105
God of Worship: Ehlonna
Height: 5â€0
Weight: 95

Sasha is a short copper elf with dark hair and green eyes. On the outside she is a very easy going person with a pleasant personality. But past experiences make her not a very trusting person and she is always wary of the motives of others.
Once someone has proven their friendship she will consider them a friend for life and do whatever she can to help them.

Traits:
Due to her running away from home, she is extremely nervous that someone will send word back to her parents where she is. She knows it is only a matter of time before her family seeks her out to try and take her back.
She tends to be headstrong and has the tendency to act before thinking about the consequences. Her family always said she had the eagerness and patience of a Halfling.

Allorkith Onnagh

About 1.67m tall
Weighing around 60 kg
Her age could be guessed around 18 human years

Some muscles under those Magerobes
Skin a bit darker, i.e. quite tanned
Hair seemingly black, a dark, but strong purple 'shining' in sunlight
On the back of her left hand with a symbol: in purplish colors
Another one around the left arm, colors same, in shape of chaotic spirals and lines, forming an odd shape
Her eyes are a dark, deep, but strong purple.
Her features strengthen that exotic sense about her. Yet she could be still overseen in a mass of people.

She often looks to the skies, searching. She talks seemingly to herself somtimes…

She is very loayal to her Goddess, always awaitng the next test set upon her. She would do anything that her Lady would wish of her.
That makes her sometimes seem cold, or the like.
Everyone she appraoches to talk will be spoken to with caution. Everyone attempting to chat with her will be watched carefully with those mysterious eyes.
If someone approahes her with a drawn weapon, don't be surprised if she draws her daggers... or casts a spell.
Since she is far away from her home (which is actually on another plane) and the regions she is familliar with, she explores the nearer area until she is sure to know what is around her. But this also makes her very cautious of many things...

(Okay, that's all i could think of...)

Miiya

Miiya is about 4'9" and is small and lithe elf. She has short red hair, often with flowers and/or leaves in it. Her eyes are a very clear bright green.

-Generally happy miiya is almost always smiling and giggling. She is a very compassionate person, wanting to help others when she can. Loves nature (druid hehe) and is always happier when it rains.

-Shy, friendly, and kind Miiya does best in small groups of people, clamming up when in a crowd. She is also timid and can be scared easily.

-She is naturally innocent, and knows little of the "civilized world" which makes her seem rather naive as well.

-Speaks broken Common and Elven (never had a chance to learn till recently), speaks Sylvan as well as Druidic fluently (what she used growing up). And she cant read or write.

CyberJesterB

Noril is an interresting fellow. Quite young at 20 years of age, he can be hard headed at times(which seems to come from his human side) and yet sometimes wise beyond his years(possibly from his elven half). As you may have gathered he is a half-elf, with a human father and elven mother. He comes from a secretive community of woodlanders deep in the Rawlinswood made up of almost entirely humans. His mother, Shi'amir, left when he was very young due to prejudice in this group not wishing to bring any hatred upon her son and he was therefore raised by his father Tamar. He learned to use a bow at an early age and has therefore become very proficient in their use. He holds a great hatred for goblins due to the intermitant raids they led against his people. He led a satisfied if rather dull life here until he was 18. This is when the troubles began…..

The elder of the community passed away from an unidentified sickness with very little warning and without naming his successor for leadership of the tribe. Noril's father would have been the best choice for the new leader and it would have been so if not for his long time rival Jahgad having played on the people's fear of other races. He made the critical points of Tamar having bedded an elf and having a half-elven son. Tamar did not fight the decision of Jahgad as the new leader though it was not in the best interest of the tribe. Noril however did not except this so willingly and began arguing with Jahgad and these fights grew more and more heated. One night several choice words were exchanged between them and they came to blows. Shortly after this Noril decided it was time to find his own way in life and after packing and saying goodbye to his father he set out to find a new home. Luckily he managed to survive long enough to find the Gypsies Camp and found it to be a good place for his new life to begin.

The rest is currently unfolding as I write this

CyberJesterB,
Noril Swift

VITALS

Name: Vormav D'Fyr
Race: Human
Age: Roughly 20
Birthplace and Date: Unknown
Occupation: Vagabond

Vormav is of average height and weight for his age and race. His left and right ears are missing flesh, giving a warped pointed look to them. He is an albino, possessing no body hair or pigmentation whatsoever. He prefers to hide his face and head in a deep hood, but often goes shirtless. His muscles aren't the large powerful ones of a weightlifter, but the lithe ropey muscles of a bare knuckles boxer, or a runner. Vormav is heavily branded, and at first glance looks tatood. Until very recently he has lived with no tongue, and thus not spoken. A powerful cleric of Vormav's god recently healed his old wound, gifting him the speech he hasn't had for most of his life. He is accustomed to being silent, and often forgets he can speak. Instead he falls back on silence and gestures out of habit.

HISTORY

Vormav's parents had given birth to a freak they thought. No hair out of the womb. Terribly pale and with huge ears, slightly deformed as to add a pointed quallity to them. Not the graceful ears of elvish blood, ears that looked to have been gnawed by a dog. They first thought him dead before he began crying. The cleric who had come to assist the midwife in birthing the child, and bless him in the name of Tyr, left promptly after pronouncing the child daft and an albino. Drowning was what he recommended. It was the humane thing to do.

His mother wouldn't hear of it. And insisted on raising him along side his brother's and sister's as best she could. She was the only one who loved him. The rest of his family simply called him "the albino." And this when being polite. He spoke very little, even being intelligent enough at a young age to hide how much he could speak and how much he did understand. Best people thought him slow and left him alone.

Vormav was taken at an early age from his family. Kidnapped while playing on the edge of his father's property. He was taken by a motley band of men and women. Some human, most not. They worked in a small team, he was to make seven if one could count the boy as a member of the gang.

He was a slave plain and simple. As they traveled he was to be their beast of burden, and when they stopped theit servant in whatever needed doing. Noone paid attention to a child. Especially if the child was clean, well behaved, and quiet. To this end the group removed Vormav's tongue.

They traveled form town to town, doing from what he could tell, alot of drinking. They sat in inns getting very medicated and listening to gossip. Before too long he figured out they brokered in information and subtle coercion based upon what they had learned.

They expected him to march many miles in a day, keeping up with them and carrying the heaviest packs. All while keeping silent and observant of his surroundings. They would pounce on him and demand to know the number of trees in a particular copse to his immediate right, covering up his eyes. Wrong answers yielded brutal beatings. They would subject him to no end of physical pain for no reason whatsoever. Often inflicting a particular wound just so he would "know how it would feel." These trials went on and on. Reading and writing, extensive hand to hand combat, endurance drills. They wore him out from dawn until dusk every day, and sometimes more than that. Never with a word of explanation.

For many years he lived this way. Building up his body, his mind, his discpline. Over time the gang believed Vormav was like family to them. And so came his initiation. Colored metal brands were heated and pressed against his flesh. Leaving markings covering most of his body. He was now one of the group. An explanation after all of these years.

The very next mission required seven people to all be in on the plan and attuned to one another. Vormav's job was very simple, he was a lookout. He watched safely and quietly as the town watch signaled each other silently. He watched coldly and knowingly as they pushed wagons with heavily greased hinges up to the warehouse doors. He observed secreted away in the shadows as the men pitched buckets of oil all over the building, and set it ablaze. He turned to leave, able to feel the heat on his skin and hear the screams on the wind.

Vormav wasn't the blindly loyal, simple minded thing they had trained. He had listened in those inns too. He had left missives and bribed innkeeps alongside them. He had read the scrolls and the secret teachings in the packs they all carried. He had learned of the Divine. The forces in everything and how to manipulate them. And he certainly wasn't family. Not to them, not to anyone.

Vormav wandered after that. Craving a structured life. Order in some way, yet finding nothing worth pledging himself to. He worked as a mercenary in various skirmishes. Whatever put food in his belly. Recently he has been seen in the Norwick area, staying forever on the outskirts of conversations and groups, never feeling he has a place to belong.

-Vormav doesn't relate well to people.

-He often is staring off into space unless engaged in something, or someone is speaking to him.

-He is very direct.

-He will often go to unreasonable extremes or expose himself to injury more readily than another person.

-He has never had any romantic encounters with the opposite sex, and thus isn't mentally equipped to handle anything resembling companionship. Which isn't to say he is devoid of such feelings.

Kallie Fettiams

Boon Wyrmbane (Background)

Boon stands 6'3" tall, weighing a very fit 215 pounds, with somewhat pale skin. He is 23 years of age, but already frown marks have put undue creases in his visage, making him look older. He has trained since birth in the art of swordplay, and moves with a grace and stealth that belie his size. He is slow to trust, and becoming more so. Taciturn, Boon will stare into your eyes before speaking, as if gaging the worth of your very soul. A peculiar wound, though often covered, can be seen at the base of his throat. When angered, or in the heat of battle, this recently healed wound pulses redly, as if heeding a call of it's own.

What We Know of Boon's Story:

Born the son of a noble, Boon dropped his original family name soon after tragedy struck.

Devoted to his mother and sister, his father having fallen in battle, Boon assumed the duties of a lord, maintaining the household as well as the surrounding lands. Always finding time to train, Boon practiced constantly with sword and bow. He also often hunted with Garrick, master of the kennel, so that the ways of the forest became like a second home.

As would be expected, suitors came often, as both Boon's mother and sister were fair to look upon, but no one caught either lady's fancy…..much to Boon's relief. Then came the day He was admitted, smelling of perfume, charming both women with flowery words and charming smiles. Too late, did Boon notice these smiles were never reflected in Its eyes.

In the Thing's presence, both women changed, fawning over the newcomer, but neglecting both themselves and their duties. Their eyes became vacant, their skin pale and unhealthy. Oblivious to the cause at hand, Boon begged his mother and sister to see a healer, but both women assured him they just needed rest and the soothing dreams that came. Not knowing what the ladies meant, Boon was indecisive.....and thus lost everything.

The Thing, who by now had become a trusted advisor and confidant, tried to ease Boon's fears, assuring him the ladies would be fine, urging Boon to take his mind off matters by joining the latest Great Hunt, set to begin that day. Boon finally, although reluctantly agreed, but only after gaining his advisor's promise that his mother and sister would be watched carefully and word to be sent if there was any change.

"Oh yes, but of course," the Thing had whispered in reply, smiling.

One day into the hunt, Boon could no longer ignore the pangs of worry that wracked his soul. Away from the Keep, Boon began to remember things that had heretofor gone unnoticed. Oddly phrased words and directions, given by his "advisor". How Its perfumed smell seemed to fade at times, replaced by a putrid stench, that was then gone again before actually noticed. But above all, it was the smile.

Beckoning Garrick, Boon raced with his friend back to the Keep, arriving well into the night. At his first sight, carnage assailed his senses. Blood was spattered everywhere; every man, woman and child had been torn to shreds and tossed aside with careless abandon. Groaning in horror, Boon leaped up the stairs, hoping against hope that there was still time.

Bursting into the Great Hall, Boon's eyes locked with those of the Thing, now seated at the head of the table, partaking in a grisly feast. Boon's sister lay on the table, bloodless, the flesh torn at her throat, wrists and ankles by the fangs of the five creatures that had evidently fed. But now only He remained, now toying idly with Boon's mother; or rather her naked corpse from which her head lolled grotesquely.

Roaring in rage, Boon leaped at the offender, sword raised. Garrick too, although shaken, raced at Boon's side. Although bloated and somewhat intoxicated with his meal, the Thing still moved with the speed of thought, lashing out at Garrick with a clawed backhand that sent the man flying into the wall, while catching up Boon's swordarm in the other, swinging him around and almost tearing the arm from the socket. Pinning him easily, the Thing sneered down at Boon.

"Athough my brothers and sisters have left, I decided to stay, in hopes you would return, " It had whispered, the words echoing within Boon's skull. "So trusting and weak you all have been, so easily fed upon, your insignificance so great, so beneath me. I wanted you to know that, as I bled the last drops from you as my final meal here."

Unable to move, Boon could but watch as the Thing lowered fangs lowards his throat, arching in pain at his skin was torn, feeling sickened as he felt his life-blood pumping into the Thing's mouth. But at that moment, a flash of silver darted across his vision. Garrick, left for dead, had managed to pull a silver cross from the wall and, with what must have been his last breath, had stabbed it sideways into the Thing's neck, dark blood spattering as the tip erupted from the other side.

Enraged, staggering, the Thing turned on Garrick, breaking the neck of the already lifeless body. Through blood hazed eyes, Boon saw the sorely wounded creature pause once, then flee out onto the balcony and into the night. Darkness then flooded Boon.

When he awoke, Boon carefully wrapped the wound at his throat, squinting at the bright sunlight. He then gathered the bodies of all the dead, placing them within the Great Hall, before firing the Keep. Riding away, the towering flames scorching his back, Boon kept his eyes on the road ahead.

A new hunt had begun.

Alessan

Alessan is a wandering half-elf in the late twenties. His mother was a young Gold Elf wizard who prefered the arcane studies to her son and he never met his human father. All he know about him is that he rejected both of them for obscure reasons and left the elven village.

So Alessan grew up lonely among the other Elves. He was only too aware of what his companions called harshly his human taint, in a way that made him despise both Humans and Elves. Even his mother never fully accepted him as he was part of her broken heart. Nevertheless he was brilliant and learned the lessons of the wise and developped a taste for songs. He especially liked the ones who spoke of faraway lands. So he made his own flute and started playing and composing.

At the age of 22, he was fully mature while his fellow elves were still children. On a moonless nights, he departed without saying his farewell to anyone and never came back to the village. All he took with him was his flute and a piece of bread. He went on and on for years, never staying too long in one place. He made a living mostly by playing in the streets for copper coins. He learned many things during his many trips and soon acquired many skills apart from music, making him some sort of jack-of-all-trades.

Now you know most about Alessan's life. One thing you don't and that many do not, is his real name… He changed it from the start of his endless travelings to Alessan for personal reasons.

-Personality traits:
*Very secretive, though not shy. More from lack of self-esteem.
*Suffers from wanderlust. Prefers action to boredom.
*Exuberant, playful and original.
*Takes time to make real friends, but doesn't forget them.
*Tends to hold grudges.
*Dislikes authority and traditions.

Arashika Skar

**[Appearance

Arashika is a mountain of a woman, standing nearly 7 feet tall, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted. Her heavily muscled thighs are as big around as a normal man's waist and her hands are the size of small frying pans. When armored and helmed, she is often mistaken for a man…although addressing her as "Mr." or "Sir" is a good way to draw her ire. On the rare occassions that she doesn't wear armor, her massive muscles are evident under her plain tunic.

Her broad face, flat nose and nascent tusks loudly proclaim her half-orc heritage. Lank, black hair frames the visage that only an orcish mother could love and she usually wears her hair caught back in a simple pony tail or with a braid down either cheek (provided her friend Horbag is about to braid it for her). When excited, happy or hungry, she tends to drool excessively from the left side of her mouth. Those standing too close risk a shower of spittle from her frequent roars of laughter.

Her voice is a throaty growl and she tends to add "s" or "z" sounds to the end of words when she speaks heavily accented common. Her voice tends to rise on octave or two when she is excited or angry and sounds like a steel blade being drawn across a sharpening stone. She likes to sing (unfortunately for those around her), but her voice has been likened to the sound of 2 cats either mating or fighting. What she lacks in musical talent, she more than makes up for in enthusiasm and her friends joke that the quickest way to free up table space in a tavern is to let Arashika sing a bit (said safely behind her back, of course).](f8fe74c744) **[Mannerisms

She frequently stops and sniffs the air around her (whether she actually has an heightened sense of smell or not is unknown).
She addresses all other half-orcs as "Cousin", whether they are related or not.
If nervous or feeling threatened, her hand grasps the worn hilt of her longsword.
She is rarely seen without armor on, especially since she commissioned a suit of custom bronze armor from Red John.
She has been known to strip of her clothes, produce a bar of pungent soap and take a "natural" shower during the all to frequent rain storms in Narfell (much to the embarrassment and chagrin of others present).
She usually addresses known acquaintences with the preface "friend" and refers to herself often in the third person. She usually addresses those in obvious positions of authority with the appelate "Mr." or "Lady", depending on sex.
She scratches her head when confused (an all to frequent occurance) and might absentmindedly pinch and eat an unfortunate lice or three.](f8fe74c744) **[History

Arashika ("Ara" for short to friends) is somewhat closed-mouthed about her life before arriving in Norwick about 8 winters ago at the age of 10, stowed away in a trading caravan. Little bits and pieces have slipped out…a small farming village in Damara, a "beautiful" mother who was always sad and not quite right in the head, an "accident" involving a boy from an important family and a hurried flight from that quaint farming village.

Arriving in little more than a threadbare tunic, rope belt and worn shoes 2 sizes too small, she eeked out a living doing odd jobs around town. No task was too menial or dirty, as long as she got something resembling food and a dry place to sleep. Once she discovered the steady supply of rats in Wald's warehouse, she seldom went hungry! Barle finally hired her on as "chief scullery maid" when she was about 14 winters old, letting her sleep in the woodshed or in an unused corner of the Boarshead Inn. She was often teased about her homely looks by the youths of Norwick, but they soon learned to avoid pushing her too far, since a single blow from her fist could easily send one to the Friar's.

The steady flow of adventurers, bards and others soon whet her appetite for more than just kitchen scraps, curses and the occassional flogging. Many nights, she would fall asleep in a corner of the inn, visions of heroic quests conjured by a bard's tale flitting through her mind. She began to run errands for adventurers, asking only for cast off equipment in return. Eventually, she gathered enough gear to bid Barle farewell and strike out on her own.

Conditioned by ridicule and rejection, she initially tried solo forays into the goblin warrens. After several brushes with death and the kindness of Dirtma, Thrade, Zoma and others, she began to open herself up slightly and join others on hunting forays. Gradually, she built up a wide network of acquaintances and has come to truly care for her adopted home town of Norwick. Although some still reject her out of hand due to her orcish heritage, she has learned that many others value her companionship.

Her fighting skill and raw strength are now valued by those that know her and she often travels between Norwick and Jiyyd; escorting newcomers, sweeping the southern pass clean of bandit patrols and gleefully bashing her full-blooded kin on the approaches to Jiyyd. She also hires out as a guard or ore-hauler for mining expeditions.](f8fe74c744) **[Personality

Her tough and somewhat gruff exterior guards a more sensitive "inner Arashika". She desperately seeks approval from "heroes" that she idolizes, sometimes to the point of being a bit annoying. Current and past heroes include: Call Sanner, Braeth, Commander Vani and Thorvin Bloodaxe. When she discovers one of her "heroes" has a flaw, she becomes quite disillusioned for a bit. She remembers both kindness and hurts done to her and will seek to repay both many times over.

She has a soft spot in her heart for both hin and gnomes, often seeing herself as their unofficial protector (most likely a "size" thing). She also goes out of her way to make friends with most animal companions and familiers, always keeping a pouch of "delicacies" on her.

Her years of coping with abuse and distrust have made her thick-skinned over most insults, so she is slow to anger. Once her wrath is aroused, however, it is a terrible sight to behold. She will throw herself into action with little thought of personal safety and, deep inside, she really enjoys a good fight.

Her leisure time revolves around quaffing ale, telling bawdy jokes and flirting outrageously with the likes of Damarcus and Red John. Recently, she has taken up both wood and iron-crafting, but it remains to be seen whether she will stick with either long enough to become more than an apprentice. She fancies herself a bit more clever than she is and tends to throw herself into projects without fully thinking them through. Her most recent project is the "Ratz n' Batz Snak Shakz", opened in conjunction with "cousin" Horbag…

Serving all manner of delicacies (at least from her viewpoint), she feels it will make a fortune. Whether Norwick and the rest of Narfell are ready for a steady diet of "ratz on a stick" and "barbaqued bat wingz" remains to be seen!](f8fe74c744)********

Name: Naurhir

Age: 20
Character Class: Monk
Character Race: Half-Elf
Current Home: Norwick
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Goddess of Worship: None, though heavilly influenced by Helm.

Naurhir is a Half-Elven Monk….
The thoughts pass in your mind, do Half-Elves really become monks? Are not all monks of the old orders full-blood human? The only answer which surfaces in your mind is that this monk before you is unique.

Conceived from the forbidden love of a devout Paladin of Helm, and an elven tavernmaid of Beregost; he was shunned by the Order of the Radiant Heart, and unloved by the elves of Suldanessellar, his parents had no choice but to release him into a friend's custody.

The friend, good-natured though unsure of what to do, sought out guidance from his village elders. Through their combined wisdom, they discerned that the one place such a child could be safe, is with the Monks of the Old Order, in the distant mountains. Long and arduous was the journey, but the day came that Naurhir's path in life was sealed.

In the care of the monks, Naurhir was instructed in all of the disciplines of their lifestyle, he soon became a master of Zen Buddhism, and an adept channeler of Ki. He excelled above the other apprentices, and became the most promised pupil his master has ever had. The years have passed, and now it is time for him to roam Faerun.

Though shunned by most he meets, Naurhir continues to journey on disregarding the cruelness of others in search for that which is the meaning of his life...
Seeking Enlightenment.

Name: Kalindra (Kali) Sulfox
Place of Birth: Bengoht, a small village south of Dharvil
Age: 20
Character Class: Rogue/Druid
Character Race: Halfling
Current Home: The Gypsy Camp
Alignment: True Neutral
Goddess of Worship: Considering Tymora

Appearance:
Kali is a fiesty young red head with emerald green eyes and nice tan skin. Her well defined muscles come from hard practice with her bow and many long hikes through the mountains. Her body is decorated with soft tattoos on both arms, legs, and her back. They are rarely seen though, just like the bright smile she conceals beneath her veil.

Personality:

Kali was born to a very high standing political family within her village. She was educated and raised according to the high expectations of her parents.
Kali lives for adventure. She has never cared for the political dealings of her family. She has always dreamed of a life of travel and extremes.
She is always the first to join a hunt, and usually the first to get herself into trouble as well. She has a hard time knowing her limits and most of the time will bite off more than she can chew.
When she was little, she was gawked at constantly because of her etreme beauty, and because of that, she now wears a hood and veil to cover her features. She wants to be known for her personality and abilities rather than her appearance.
She is most of the time, easily trusting of those who are nice to her.
Her rebellious nature clashes a lot with her political upbringing. While she knows and respects certain formalities, she also doesnt put up with idiots for long.
Her red hair can sometimes mirror her red-hot temper, though she is getting better at keeping the flames at bay.
She is very goal driven. When she sets her mind to do something, she uually goes after it right then.

Storyline:
Kali was born to a noble family in her village of Bengoht. Bengoht is mostly just a stop for travellers on their way to Dharvil. Because of its frequent visits from outsiders, Bengoht is home to many various races, all who most of the time coincide peacefully together. Kali's family held very high political power, and controlled a fair percentage of the trade and prices in the market.

Growing up, Kali had many tutors, one of which she was very fond of. Whispen was like a second mother to her, and Kali always looked forward to the days when she would go to her house for lessons. Whispen had a son named Mirshan who was about Kali's age, and the two were almost inseparable at times.

As Kali grew older, she soon realized she was in love with Mirshan, and found out that he felt the same for her. They had planned to marry someday, but knew it would be complicated considering Mirshan's social status was much lower than Kali's.

Shortly before Kali's 20th birthday, her parents surprised her by promising her in marriage to a rather vicious drow in the village who had more political power than Kali's family. This of course upsetted her very much and she rebelled against her parents by telling them of her love of Mirshan and how she longed to marry him. Her family was outraged! Kali was forbidden to see or speak with Mirshan at all. However, Kali found ways of sneaking out and meeting Mirshan late at night.

As the wedding plans progressed, the drow, sensing something not right with his bride-to-be started to keep a close eye on Kali's activities. He followed her one night as she crept down to the river behind her home to meet Mirshan. The drow was outraged at what had been going on behind his back and challenged Mirshan to a fight. Mirshan, not wanting to let Kali down, and seeing this as a way for both of them to be free to love again, accepted the challenge.

The two fought long and hard into the night, with Kali keeping a close watch from a distance. She had been forbidden to attend the fight, as her beauty serves up too much of a distraction. During the fight, the drow gained the upper hand and killed Mirshan. In her horror and fear, Kali could only do one thing…RUN!

She went back to her house and gathered up only what she could carry, this included the bow that Mirshan had helped her practice with when they were younger, and she left her village.

After several days of walking, she came upon a camp full of outcasts and adventurers like herself. With the loss of Mirshan still weighing heavy on her heart, she decided to stay in the camp and get to know the people there. Perhaps she could find a home among these people and escape the past she left behind.
