Alright here, is the OOC. All up and running.

I'll start research on the Harpers and stuff... and add some infos about the guild and everything. That way you can also GM some of the Harper agents too! Maybe you can come up with a reason her superior called her to that city. ^.^

Alright, I am going to get to work on looking into what I want my Elf CS to be.

I didn't expect to do this... but I found a ton of information on the Harpers and found a good part of it relevant, so... it's a bit of reading. I have tried to cut down on it though, but also included some bits and parts you can use yourself if you want to play around with Harper NPCs. I'm thinking I might stop here and link the original article if you want to know more. ^.^

Yeah if you just link me the article I will get to it. I am going to be super busy today though so I might have to get to everything tomorrow.

I linked it in the character's tab with what I thought was the most important information and the most relevant, but there's still a ton to learn about them if you want to go in depth. With that said, I'm going to bed. It's 1 AM here in South Korea. :p G'night!~ I'll work on Adley tomorrow. ^.-

Very interesting character name, lol... naming her after a Greek goddess of love and sexual desire then picking "Hornwood?" xD

Edit: I wanted to talk to you about an idea I had for some magical artifacts in the world. I know you wanted low magic, but I guess in my mind it doesn't exactly exclude the existence of powerful magic (after all, the dark mage is bringing back dragons!). With that being said, I've always loved the idea of runic items, as in they have runic symbols on them that represent the power and function of the item.

They are more along the ancient/legendary types though, so you might think it's a bit much - however I was thinking of giving Adley the rune of 'True Sight.' It allows her to see the true nature of all things, in a physical sense. So she can't sense alignment or read minds or anything crazy like that, but she could see through illusions, invisibility, secret doors, traps, decipher forgotten languages, understand coded messages, and maybe (maybe) even read people's body language. Thoughts?

I am actually not sure on her Character name, I might change it and just see what fit's best. I do think I will keep Aphrodite but mess with the last name.

That seems alright with me, it will have to be handled carefully though with your character having that ruin so that it doesn't become overpowered and all of a sudden she is almost a god. (Not saying it would be easy with that ruin, but I have had something like that happen before.) though if you wanted to have the mystical items I wouldn't mind having a few of them scattered about throughout the world.

Rune* ^.-

And I'll list out all the things it can do, how she got it, etc, etc. Then if you feel something is too much or too powerful, simply tell me and we can discuss and compromise. Believe me, I don't want her being a powerhouse either - in fact, I'm sure your elf will be far more skilled in combat than mine will. ^.^

Alright that sounds good to me, I just didn't want to have the same thing happen as before where one of the characters becomes to powerful. Though your solution is a good one and will make it so that doesn't happen.

Sorry for my slow replies I was up till 2 AM this morning and I am still tired. But still trying to work on my character as well.

I got everything up besides her background right now, so feel free - whenever you're up to it - to look it over. ^.^ And get some sleep!~

Haha, I don't need much sleep. I will look it all over now and then start working on my character.

Do you think for SKILLS if she is mastered at 2 things it will be to much?

Well, I kind of did a thing of... like I ended up with 13 different levels of skills. Novice = 1, Journeyman = 2, Artisan = 3, Master = 4, Grand Master = 5. I'd say keep the level of skills anywhere from 13-15 for your elf... so having two skills mastered is definitely okay, you just won't have as much - which is semi-realistic because the more time we spend mastering one thing, we lack the time to spend mastering other things. ^.^

Ah alright, I like that plan. That makes it work really well and our character's don't just become great at everything.

Shy and withdrawn... but still dominant? ;P All kidding aside (mostly) I'm liking how your character is coming along. I find it interesting and fun to see that you actually picked some skills that compliment Adley's own. ^.^ Very cool. I'll work on her backstory tomorrow, since I'm about to go to bed. ^.-

I actually kept going back and re reading Adley's skills so I could have Aphrodite's be the same but she would be better where your character lacks and your character could be better where Aphrodite lacked. Best couple ever haha.

Thanks though, I love how your character is coming together as well and I will try and work on her history today though I may not have time as Football is on and i have to work on my car.

Worked on my character's history a bit, but a little unsure of it. What do you think?

It sounds like a great starting point and gets all the important information across. :)

However you want to improve on it, it could use a little more details - like examples of times when she learned something important in her survival skills, or details of which animals are actually safe or ways she's managed to befriend normally hostile animals. Some of it is written a tad odd too, making it a little hard to follow...

Like;
"Liking a persona better of being a party woman, who was everything that Aphrodite was not. It was who people that she was and she had hoped it would be who she would become eventually. But it only seemed to bring loneliness which until one day she thought would never go away."

Maybe change it to;
"So she wrapped herself in a persona that mimicked the ideal of a party wench [Note: Just using more medieval language, you can put woman if you want], far removed from her true personality. It was who others wanted her to be and it was how she fit in and if she was honest with herself, it was someone she had hoped to become one day. However the more she delved into the role, the more lonely she became, nearly consuming her - it was like a being caught in a whirlpool."

Of course, use your own words, but the example above gives not only imaginative descriptors, but also makes it very clear what she's doing and how it makes her feel. ^.^

Alright I see what you mean, I will make sure to edit it and make it better.

Though as to going more desrciptive of when she learned something important, I was trying to be a bit vague on that as I figured the most important part of her history would be when our character's met and their small history they would have together. That is what I was going to focus most of my time on coming up with.

For the descriptiveness and everything though I will get on it now to make it better.
