Short Biography: Alenia “the Wounded” is a woman with a hard past. Raised by her father after her mother’s passing, Alenia grew up without a strong female figure in her life. Raised alone by her father, the captain of the guard of Baldurs Gate, Alenia was surrounded by voices of authority, strictness, and the brass world of military men. At the age of sixteen, the sheltered, socially awkward Alenia began training in sword play and studying military tactics, disciplinary manuals, and military etiquette. She even saved her coin to pay for an instructor.
Disheartened and infuriated by her fathers’ rejection of her joining the guard, Alenia left Baldurs Gate at age twenty-two and journeyed to Waterdeep. She enlisted in the city watch and five years later resigned, joining a local mercenary company, for whom she worked for yet again five years. Preferring the active and profitable life as a mercenary. However, when her employer was accused of treason against the city and jailed, Alenia resigned, the company whom she served having become corrupt and deplorable. Now, at age thirty-two, Alenia has once again left to start anew. Hearing of the “Ruby City” that is Draydon, she has come seeking a new beginning.
Personality Description: Alenia is what you might call a roguish noble. A woman of conviction and honor, yet not entirely polished and well-meaning all around. At the end of the day she watches out for herself and while she isn’t above having friends or companions, she is hard to impress. Alenia aspires for self-sustainment and purpose, though is not afraid to confront injustice. She is not one to betray or undermine, and is loyal without waver.
Why have you come to Draydon? Alenia seeks purpose and personal fortune alike. Serving for years as both a tight-lipped city guard and a brassy mercenary, Alenia has never felt any sense of purpose or duty, and certainly never has she had a fortune. She hopes to find both in Draydon as a free blade seeking a conviction.
Fighting Style: Favoring her short sword and shield, Alenia fights with an aggressive fire. She pummels her foes with heavy attacks, albeit energy consuming, and takes her time to recover amidst defense. When facing stronger foes, Alenia uses a more tempered approach, attacking more moderately and focusing more on defense, looking for counter attack opportunities. Though trained in archery and dual weapon wielding as well, she always prefers a sword and a shield.

@Quaint Quasar@La Fleur Y'all wanna work on an intro post together?
If there is still a spot to be had, I would like to throw my towel in.-Character Full Name: Taiborn Misthain
-Gender: Male
-Race: Human
-Height: 5 foot 9 inches
-Weight: 145 pounds
-Main Class: Mage
-Subclass: Blood Mage
-Appearance:
-Short Biography: Taiborn grew up with a fairly wealthy family, and from a young age was shown to have an affinity for the arcane arts. Largely supported by his family the early years of his arcane delvings was spent in private study with a wizard named Tralic. After a long period of training, and entering into his young adulthood he started to seek a power that his mentor couldn't assist with. Instead of continuing to learn under Tralic, Taiborn decided to follow a personal study into the arcane runes, the forbidden secrets, and ostracizing acts of blood magic.
In his middle-aged years he delved into lost tombs and and crypts searching for more power, magical artifacts, and tomes of secret knowledge. The more he explored the more his desire for power became more insatiable, eventually coming to terms with using the dark secrets to unlock lichdom, the unending necromantic life of the undead. He was willing to sacrifice everything to get that power, all while his will slowly broke under the strain of sacrificing friend and foe to further his cause of life ever after.
As Taiborn entered his senior years, the weight of his decisions caught up to him, and he started to change for the better. The lust for power disappeared, replaced with the will to train and teach others not to make the mistakes he had. Though, still if given an opportunity he would take Lichdom to continue learning, crafting, and teaching the arcane arts, if only to prove that even in the darkest of hearts, there is a light somewhere.
-Personality Description: Taiborn is logical over emotional, tending to think through his problems over feel through them. Quick thinking and calm, very rarely getting angry. He works well with others, now that his lust for power is quenched, but he is more than able to be alone with his books that never leave his side. His arcane knowledge of the darker sides of magics, especially for his necromantic wishes, are hidden thoroughly.
-Why have you come to Draydon? Taiborn has journeyed to study within the Academy of Magii. The call of knowledge even, at the risk of his own life to learn, is too much to resist. Not only that, but the Mere holds secrets that he wishes to pry open, examine and learn with every fiber of his being.
-Character Fighting Style: Long distance being preferred, engaging with flame based magic, and only pulling the darker arts in dire situations as not to cause alarm.
-Primary Armament: An adamantine staff, glamoured to look like a mere walking stick. Arcane runes cover the adamantine weapon.
-Secondary Armament: A blackened orb, roiling as if filled with a black mist. Glamoured to look like a normal spell book.

- A bag that seems to hold what seems infinite supply of books, both of magical knowledge and actual spell books, as well as his other trinkets.
- A small flask that seems to hold an unending supply of water.
- A torch that never burns out, an everlasting flame.
- A set of robes that when arcane words are spoken can change form in the way of glamour.
