I wanted to make two characters that are tied to each other but since it looks like we are allowed only one I will make one playable and the other a NPC. Anyways here is my CS. Tyr Ethelson Male Human 29- Composite bow(shown in appearance pic.);- Quiver with 48 arrows(also shown in appearance pic);- . Born in the kingdom of Dalria, Tyr was fascinated by archery ever since he was a child. It was his childhood dream to be an archer. At the age of 17 he made his dream come true after he joined the Dalrian army as an archer. The instructors were impressed with how fast he was learning and how good he was becoming. At the age of 25 he was already one of the best archers in the kingdom. Everything was going perfectly for him, up until he met a woman named Alana, who he fell in love with. Tyr had no idea that Alana was a professional thief. He found out after she was captured and sentenced with execution. Apparently the last person she stole from was an important person amongst the king's ranks. And he insisted with the execution, although life in the dungeons was more enough. Tyr became very conflicted and had no idea what to do. To let the love of his life be executed for thievery or damn himself for good by attempting to save her life. When execution day finally came, Alana faced public execution. But just as the executioner was about to drop the axe and chop off her head. An arrow that came out of nowhere pierced his heart. Tyr then dived into the crowd and climbed on the wooden stage as he began fighting off the few soldiers that were there for security purposes. Then he grabbed Alana and they both fled. Tyr has been on the run ever since, with Alana accompanying him.

Accepted

So far the plan is having my character be an old adventurer/treasure hunter who heard the stories about the Old Gods and decided to learn more from the cults in Turizi. Initially just from a desire for treasure and excitement, but eventually he became so interested and obsessed that he settled in Turizi to study the Old Gods. And now, well, the stories may just have turned out to be true ;) should be a lot of fun to play.

Sounds like a very interesting character. :) Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

HA-HA, you fell for my rouse !!!!
*grabs fluffy bunny tail*

Come to think of it, I could use a new Rabbits Foot

[Izaka Sazaka]

Interested in this, though I wanted to confirm a couple of things first. Since the setting is low fantasy, I'm assuming playing a straight mage would be out of the question (fireballs and such)? If so, how exactly does magic manifest in the world and would it be possible to play a very low-powered mage with the magic used being more illusory and subdued in nature?

Just gonna say, my character is already a cleric/mage. It's low fantasy not because magic is weak, but because it's rare.

Well, it isn't so much that magic is rare in the word so much as it is in this particular locality. Insofar as it does manifest in Provinka, it is usually very-well hidden (certain isolated groups of elves do inhabit the more wild forests, and they have access to certain low level nature and necromantic magics). Also, certain people are born with magic, but it is rare enough that essentially the problem is there exists noone to train novice magic users. As for your character...I'll go ahead and say yes, if you give me a good quality cs I'll allow a character with illusory and low-level magic. If the character goes well, we can maybe see about...upgrades in the future.

I actually accepted you with the basic assumption that your characters magic was fairly weak. That's probably my fault for making inferences, I should have asked you to give a more in-depth explanation about her abilities.

[chukklehed]

Her magic is.... odd.

Normally it's weak, taking a long time to do much of anything. She uses her staff to increase it's effect. She still can't do much more than mend a broken bone or fix a cracked bowl. She also tends to be exhausted after using it.

As you said, nobody is around to train magic users, but L is a bit weird. Her magic is instinctual, it's a part of her, but she can't expand beyond what she does like most mages.

Galen 'Urik' Gallatin

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Age: 28

Equipment:
Noble's Robes
Five-Tailed Whip
Dagger
Journal of Urik
Ruby Signet Ring

Brief Bio: An eccentric philanderer, a gambler and a crook, Galen Gallatin, going by the alias 'Urik', is a man of many faces and many fames. His life began simply enough, an orphan from a broken home who struggled with the other urchins in the streets, looking for whatever pieces of scrap food that could be found. Life was hard, but then, a break-through: It was one day while he was trading words with the city guard that the child began to notice the strange power he possessed. He had a way with words, he could say the most outlandish things and make people believe them, trick others, however temporarily, into following his directions. It didn't take long for him to become the leader of his little group of orphans and from there he expanded into new city venues. Urik began to make a name for himself in gambling halls and pubs, using his powers to manipulate games of chance. Sometimes he played fair, others not so much. Through his "skill" he obtained many items, clothes and gold, weapons, even a noble's signet ring, one of his most prized possessions. With gold in his pockets, he set out to travel the world, cleaning out towns whenever he stopped.

Quirks: Galen has a crippling addiction to gambling and games of chance in any form.

[Big Sister AM]

Sorry about the fact that I made a Wood Elf... I actually had skimmed the other sheets before making my own, but for some odd reason, I completely missed KnightsTemplar. I hope this is not a problem, or I can just make another character.

My Character

Name:
Miralie

Gender:
Female ♀

Race:
Wood Elf.
Wood Elves are a slender noble species with pale skin and pointed ears. They tend to live deep within the forests and consider themselves guardians of the natural world. Wood elves work with the forest; they try not to damage the forest like other species do. Wood elves are extremely agile; their main method of attack is the bow as they mainly only attack when hunting, but they will use hand-to-hand fighting if needed against a humanoid opponent. Wood Elves like to use stealth, as this allows them the ease of stealthy hunting. Most Wood Elves prefer not to wear armor; this allows them to move more rapidly through forests when tracking a prey. They tend to wear fabrics in greens and browns to match with their surroundings. This helps them move around unnoticed.
Aside from their rather long living span, all elves are very agile and flexible. They have quick reflexes and are quick on their feet.
Wood Elves specifically are better at tracking and plants; knowing which are poisonous, which can heal and which they can eat.

Age:
Fourty-seven (47)

Physical Description:
Miralie stands about six feet tall and has a meager weight of just about 140 pounds. Like any other elf, she is quite slender in build. She does not have a lot of curves. She has rather narrow hips and shoulders and next to no bust. Her waist is, however, narrower than her hips. Despite her lack of feminine shapes, her facial features are quite the opposite. She has a noble face, with high cheekbones and a slightly narrow nose. Her eyes are almond shaped and framed by long, dark lashes, contrasting quite well with the ice blue of her irises. Her pale, flawless skin stands in contrast with her dark brown hair, which frames her face beautifully with long, curvy bangs. The rest of her hair is collected in a loose, fluffy braid that falls to the small of her back.
She wears tunics in the colors of the forest, ranging from deep green to rich brown and autumn reds. She wears several cuffs made from various plants and the like on string. She always wears leather slippers, a leather belt with a leather pouch on it and carries her leather case for her arrows on her back.

Equipment*:
A yew longbow and cedar tree arrows with hand-cut, flint heads in a leather case on her back.
A leather pouch on her belt with a few dried herbs of different functions.
A leather satchel with a few changes of clothes.

Brief Bio:
Miralie was born and grew up in a tribe of Wood Elves, living in tree-top huts deep in the forest of the south-eastern lands. She grew up with two older brothers and a younger sister. She and her sister was trained in the ways of a wife during their childhood, while they only started learning how to hunt when they reached their twenties. Despite this, Miralie was quick to catch on and was soon one of the better hunters of her tribe.
When she reached thirty, Miralie traveled away from her home in the search of great adventures. She traveled to Provinka and temporarily settled in a small village there.

Any other interesting tidbits about your character:
Miralie can sew, knit and cook. She can cook nutritious meals from next to nothing, though the taste is less important to her. Aside from being a trained housewife, Miralie has been trained to hunt. She can keep steady and wait for hours for her prey to show, or nail a buck between the eyes from 20 feet away while running.
She gets easily annoyed if anyone mistrusts her skill or sincerity.
She is Pansexual.

Nuuuuuu. now it's just the thief and the gambler who seem to have an IQ higher than their weapon. and maybe the elves.
