Name: La'Shara Atreial Gender: Female Age: 372 Race: Elven Appearance: [IMG]http://cache.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/537233-bigthumbnail.jpg[/IMG] Gear & Possessions: Three Throwing Daggers coated with Silver Traveling Pack filled with extra clothing and materials for spell casting and personal grooming Two pair of soft knee high boots Skills & Abilities: La'Shara is first an foremost a spell caster, a Witch. Wilderness survival, Endurance running, Mountaineering and Stealth SPELL LIST [Hider=Air Walk] Air Walk She can tread on air as if walking on solid ground. Moving upward is similar to walking up a hill. The maximum upward or downward angle possible is 45 degrees, at one-half her normal speed. A strong wind (21+ mph) can push her along or hold her back. Should she loose concentration the spell will expire while still aloft, the magic fails slowly and floats down like a feather. Since dispelling a spell effectively ends it, she also descends in this way if the air walk spell is dispelled, but not if it is negated by an antimagic field. She can cast air walk on a specially trained mount so it can be ridden through the air. She can train a mount to move with the aid of air walk with one week of work.[/Hider] [Hider=Arcane Sight] Arcane Sight This spell makes her eyes glow blue and allows her to see magical auras within 120 feet of her location. The effect is similar to that of a detect magic spell, but arcane sight does not require concentration and discerns aura location and power more quickly.[/Hider] [Hider=Enthrall] Enthrall If she has the attention of a group of creatures with a spoken common or shared language, she can use this spell to hold them spellbound. To cast the spell, she must speak or sing without interruption for a minute or so . Thereafter, those affected give her their undivided attention, ignoring their surroundings. They are considered to have an attitude of friendly while under the effect.[/Hider] [Hider=Fog Cloud] Fog Cloud A bank of fog billows out from the point she designates. The fog obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target). A moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the fog in 4 rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog.[/Hider] [Hider=Freezing Sphere] Freezing Sphere Freezing sphere creates a frigid globe of cold energy that streaks from her fingertips to the location she selects, where it explodes in a 10-foot-radius burst, dealing cold damage to each creature in the area. If the freezing sphere strikes a body of water or a liquid that is principally water (not including water-based creatures), it freezes the liquid to a depth of 6 inches over an area equal to 100 square feet Creatures that were swimming on the surface of frozen water become trapped in the ice. She can refrain from firing the globe after completing the spell, if she wishes. Treating it as a touch spell for which she is holding the charge.[/Hider] [Hider=Gust of Wind] Gust of Wind This spell creates a severe blast of air (approximately 50 mph) that originates from her, affecting all creatures in its path. A Tiny or smaller creature on the ground is knocked down and rolled. If flying, a Tiny or smaller creature is blown back 10-60 feet and takes nonlethal damage due to battering and buffeting. Small creatures are knocked prone by the force of the wind, or if flying are blown back 10-30 feet. Medium creatures are unable to move forward against the force of the wind, or if flying are blown back 5-20 feet. Large or larger creatures may move normally within a gust of wind effect. Any creature, regardless of size, is at a penalty on ranged attacks and Listen checks in the area of a gust of wind are near impossible. The force of the gust automatically extinguishes candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames. It causes protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50% chance to extinguish those lights. In addition to the effects noted, a gust of wind can do anything that a sudden blast of wind would be expected to do. It can create a stinging spray of sand or dust, fan a large fire, overturn delicate awnings or hangings, heel over a small boat, and blow gases or vapors to the edge of its range.[/Hider] [Hider=Magic Missile] Magic Missile A missile of magical energy darts forth from her fingertip and strikes its target, dealing damage equal to a thrown dagger but nonlethal. The missile strikes unerringly, even if the target is in melee combat or has less than total cover or total concealment. Specific parts of a creature can’t be singled out. Inanimate objects are not damaged by the spell. Magic users hit by this spell lose concentration on any spell they had active or were casting.[/Hider] [Hider=Reverse Gravity] Reverse Gravity This spell reverses gravity in an area, causing all unattached objects and creatures within that area to fall upward and reach the top of the area or 30 ft.. If some solid object (such as a ceiling) is encountered in this fall, falling objects and creatures strike it in the same manner as they would during a normal downward fall. If an object or creature reaches the top of the area without striking anything, it remains there, oscillating slightly, until the spell ends. At the end of the spell duration, affected objects and creatures fall downward. Provided it has something to hold onto, a creature caught in the area can attempt a Reflex save to secure itself when the spell strikes. Creatures who can fly or levitate can keep themselves from falling.[/Hider] [Hider=Shield] Shield Shield creates an invisible, tower shield-sized mobile disk of force that hovers in front of you. It negates magic missile attacks directed at her. This applies against incorporeal touch attacks, since it is a force effect. Usable against ranged attacks only[/Hider] Personality: La'Shara acts on impulse trusting that her instincts and arcane skill will lead her on the right course. She loves to drink and sing an her voice is rumored to be as beautiful as a siren's when she puts her spirit into it She has no real sense of shame or boundaries but is no wanton either. History:La'Shara was Born to a very powerful clan of the Kazul but had to be surrendered to the Sisterhood of the Forest Goddess because of her birthday which fell on that Goddess's most holy day. The Sisterhood a coven of Elven witches raised her as they did all those born upon the holy day to be a witch like themselves. In the coven La'Shara blossomed into a beautiful witch who's voice was trained to recite the holy prayers because of itks beauty. On La'Shara's 300th birthday like all those before her she was sent out into the world to practice her skills and hopefully survive to return her 600th birthday as a wiise and powerful member of the coven ______________________________________ Name: 万沙僧云. (10,000 Drifting Clouds) Kwan Shā sēng Yún Gender: Female Age: 26 Race: Human Appearance: [IMG]http://cache.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/391791-bigthumbnail.jpg[/IMG] Gear & Possessions: 鬼剑 (Ghost Sword) Guǐ Jiàn [Hider=Sword]The Ghost sword is able to strike any creature due to it's magical properties which are first that so long as it's Mistress lives mends any damages to it's self even should it seemed utterly destroyed but can only do so on a moonless night. It can banish lesser spirits and detect the presence of any spirits then allow it's holder to converse with any dead that wish to communicate with her The Ghost sword's name is not merely a name given the blade but the fact that it is inhabited by it's previous wielder's spirit and will become the fetter of it's present wielder on her death where she must wait till a worthy woman is found to take her up and free her soul on her death [/Hider] 白鹤梳 (White Crane Comb) Báihè Shū [Hider=Comb]The White Crane Comb makes it's Mistress as light as a crane's feather meaning she ca leap off great heights and drift towards the earth or leap 30 ft into the air or across 100 feet and even dance on Bamboo stalks or run across water. The drawback is that she can't use it in strong winds for obvious reasons[/Hider] 在龙舞束带 (Girdle of the Dancing Dragon) Zài lóng wǔ shù dài [Hider=Girdle]The Girdle is basiclly like the D&D girdle of many pouches and able to hold about 200 pounds of weight or 3 cubic feet of displacement but cannot take in large objects (nothing Larger than a small water melon) It also has 48 3 inch long throwing needles that will return to their places within 48 hours of their loss[/Hider]48 - Throwing needles which are held in her girdle (Belt) which she can use to paralyze foes if she can land at least 10 to 16 in precise locations Herbal medicine pouches for making curitives held at the small of her back and her sides under the girdle Skills & Abilities :A 气. [Hider=Qi]Qi is variously defined as an inner energy or "life force" that is said to animate living beings; as a term for proper skeletal alignment and efficient use of musculature (sometimes also known as fa jin or jin); or as a shorthand for concepts that the martial arts student might not yet be ready to understand in full. These meanings are not necessarily mutually exclusive. The existence of qi as a measurable form of energy as discussed in traditional Chinese medicine has no basis in the scientific understanding of physics, medicine, biology or human physiology. There are many ideas regarding the control of one's qi energy to such an extent that it can be used for healing oneself or others. Some styles believe in focusing qi into a single point when attacking and aim at specific areas of the human body. Such techniques are known as dim mak and have principles that are similar to acupressure. So the Idea is that while it sounds like magic it is actually not nor dose it allow her to instantly heal someone so basicly she's a Chinese doctor who uses a combination of skills and knowledge to heal[/Hider] (Chi) Mistress Kwan is foremost a healer but her ability to focus her Qi is also used in her sword art Guǐ Jiàn (Ghost Sword) which is a soft sword art that's movements are swift and deceptively difficult to predict. Her art unarmed is similar to Akido or judo using her foe's size and power against them. She uses the same ability to focus her Qi to heal the injured and the sick whom she is not allowed to discriminate against even if they are a foe Physically her Qi focus gives Kawn the ability to run or swim for miles; to survive on almost no food or water for days or perhaps even weeks and endure intense pain.

Intelligent she tries never to cause others to feel as if she in any way sees herself as superior to them simply because her education is more intensive than theirs. She respects her elders no mater what their caste rank or race. None can say they have even heard her raise her voice in anger or even excitement. And while she seems to show little interest in romance she doesn't come across as a cold fish. She enjoys a good joke but prefers jokes that at times are so subtle that only she perceives them. History: Kwan's father traveled with the great caravans of the Daigotsu Empire and as he often said expanded his clan's knowledge of the world beyond any before him. His Eldest son thought it best that he stay within the Empires borders and protect his Clan's art by fathering many sons as his father had sired only himself and three daughters. Kwan's Eldest Sister 美丽花红河 (Beautiful Flower of the Red River) Měilì Huā Hónghé became the first courtesan of the 12th Prince of the Daigotsu Her Middle sister 晨光荣耀 (Dawn Glory)Chénguāng Róngyào married a healer of the 北高峰 (North Summit) Běi Gāofēng school and has six children 万沙僧云. (10,000 Drifting Clouds) Kwan Shā sēng Yún was a late child born to her father's concubine when he was 62 and became the treasure of his old age and pampered by the old man and raised on stories of his many adventures of his youth. She was sent to school and no expense spared her education almost as if she were a last son. When not attending school Kwan was taught the Clan's arts and deep secrets. When she graduated school at 16 she underwent the Clan test of Qi focus and surpassed that seen for seven generation of any woman of her blood line and because of this the Elders revealed to her the secrets of the Ghost Sword and when she again passed the Master's test in that art was awarded the Ghost Sword, the White Crane's Comb and the Girdle of the Dancing Dragon and her Clan Name changed to 鬼舞者 (The Ghost Dancer) Guǐwǔ Zhě a name not worn in six centuries in her Clan. A Mistress of the Art Kwan may do as she wishes and is treated as an Equal among men in her Blood line. She enjoys a freedom few women of the Daigotsu know and may travel without male escort or permission. Knowing this Kwan chose on her Father's death to take up his travels and perhaps this time bring back in her graying years the secrets of the end of the world and there by complete the map of her world. Other : Kwan will not don armor of any sort as it would interfere with the flow of her Qi and connection with the living world around her She can never mary as it would mean that she giving up her sword and break an oath to the same sword. (In effect she is already married to her sword)
