People waited for me! I'm touched!
Name: Orodreth Ciryatan.
Race: Elf.
Race statistics: Elves are slimmer, and normally a little smaller than humans, and have less strenght. They are slightly faster, having better reflexes and such, and all elves have a connection to magic, though only those that specialise in it can be a real threat. Due to their connection to magic, they also live longer.
There are few elves left, as they reproduce slower, and bands of human bandits have attacked them often, in hope to get magical treasures, which often don't even exist.
Biography: Originally an elf from a region near the Eventide river, his parents left when he was young, to find a more peaceful place, since bandits had been troubling their village. They had traveled all the way to Satim, but while they were traveling down the Morningvein, a bear attacked them, and his father sacrificed his life to save his wife and son.
When he was 10, his mother fell ill and she died, and he lived with a local farmer for several years. In that time a group of goblins attacked them sometimes, and he learned to fight with (not too heavy) swords, able to vanquish goblins by fast blows. Still, in his heart he knew that he was not a real fighter. That was proven when a goblin captain nearly killed him, though he was saved by the farmer, who had fired an arrow straight in the goblins neck.
Archery was truly terrible for him. He had shot some rabbits, but for every rabbit he shot, he had lost over 20 arrows, to the frustration of the farmer.
It was when he was 16 that he first discovered his talent for magic, when he was trying to light a fire. For when he was about to give up, due to a lack of dry wood, a flame seemed to come out of his hand, and it set the wet wood on fire, though it quickly went out again.
From that moment, he began studying magic. He has learned to cast some minor spells, and with those, he had been able to scare away the weaker goblins.
Now, 28 years old, which is very young for an elf, he has mastered the basics of magic. Able to cast simple spells, he finally realises that the farming life is nothing for him. Therefore, he wishes to travel in the lands, and learn as much as he can about magic.
Since his love for nature and life is great, he mainly specialises in that kind of magic, making him a druid, rather than a mage.
Character: Though he's shy, he can be quite charismatic. He's a person who likes to learn as much as possible, and tries not to get into a fight. He doesn't like to go into the melee, since though his sword skills aren't exactly terrible, he has only little physical strenght. He likes to read, and is often silent, thinking about many things, like life and death. He can be both joyful and serious, though he'll only act freely if he's in company of friends...
Appearence: 1,69 metres tall, slim, with (gold-like) blond hair, and green eyes. He normally wears light clothes, and on his side hangs a light sword, which is quite old. He sometimes walks around with a book, since he likes to read.
I think that was all...
And the first post should indeed contain the usernames and map! Perhaps even buyable stuff in stores and such, and spells! Might there be a magic missle (Baldurs Gate) in? I love that spell! (1 magic missle for lvl 1 chars, 2 for lvl 3, etc. to maximum of 5).
And last question for this post: What happens if someone dies?
