Appearance: Long, flowing silver hair blowing wild. Violet eyes with a streak of silver, mostly tan skin, interrupted by occasional patches of smooth silvery skin. Short and lithe, Virashil exudes a sense of power out of her small frame.

Personality: Her draconic ancenstry has influenced her personality -- combined with her elven roots, she takes a long term view on most actions. Normally good-natured, she enjoys conversation

Background: Virashil comes from a small village of Elves deep in the [general setting], where it backs up to a small outcropping of snow-covered peaks. Their village is a close-knit community, of common elves, except for the occasional child born with silver hair or silver flecked skin. It is rumored that ages ago, an old silver dragon inhabited the peaks near their village, and would occasionally come down from the mountain as an elf and live among them for a period of time. It is thought that the blood of this dragon continues to appear every few generations and spawn a child who has the gift for magic.

Virashil left her village some years ago, setting out to discover more about what fuels her inner power. She first travelled to the nearby mountain peaks, looking for any sign of the rumored silver wyrm, but found nothing. Somewhat downfallen, she then set out to find out more about the legend of her people -- to determine if there actually was a silver dragon that inhabited the mountain peaks near her village. She sought out the advice of a few sages, who were able to find out that yes, at one time an old silver dragon named N'al Loranthanxx had made his lair in the peaks. Her spirits buoyed by this bit of information, she journeyed once more to the peaks near her village. The journey was harsh and difficult, for she had ascended above the tree line and trudged through crags of snow and ice. Virashil finally realized that she had bitten off more than she could chew -- for she was no mountaineer, just a fledgling sorceress. Panic ran through her mind as she realized that she may not make it back down the mountain with her life. The biting cold had begun to seep its way into her bones and her mind grew slow. Step after step became more labored. She began to feel warmer... The last thing she remembered was falling down into a snowbank...

She doesn't remember when she regained consciousness. She awoke beneath a heap of soft furs, underneath her was a soft bed of fine linens. The first thing she heard was ,"There my child, do not fret, for you are in a safe place. Go back to sleep and regain your strength."

Hours, or days, later, for she had lost track of time, she awoke and was able to take in her surroundings -- a chamber, hewn out of solid rock, and appointed with plush furnishings, she was laying in a finely adorned bed. A closed door led out of the room. She heard footsteps, and the door opened, an older man, an elf, walked in. She immediately noticed the silver hair and skin, and the fine silk robes that he wore.

"My child, my name is N'al Loranthanxx, and I have watched you for some time. I was impressed with your spirit and tenacious pursuit of finding me. For your thoughts and instincts were correct, a small portion of my blood runs through your veins. I am glad that you chose to seek me out, for I have forseen that you will be needed by good dragonfolk in a battle against our evil brothers."

Virashil spent many months in the confines of N'al Loranthanxx's lair, atop the snowy peaks, learning about her heritage, and developing her powers. She was even taught how to breath ice! (draconic breath feat)

At the end of her stay, N'al Loranthanxx called her to him, still in his human form, and told her that she had to set out on her own -- but to always remember that she was destined to help out her fellow dragonkind in their time of need -- that she would know what that was when it appeared. In the mean time, however, she was to further develop her powers as a sorceress.

She left, with great remorse, and set out to find her destiny. She changed her name to include N'al, to honor her distance draconic relative. She caught on with an adventuring band of similar ideals and temperment, and have been travelling with them until the present day.....

Here is a start.
Chimon
Halfling Bard of Molthune.
He had been in the drum and bugle corps of military in Molthune becuase he liked to march and swing his arms to the music. This was a patronage job because he was a speechwriter for Colonel Ranick who commanded the Corps' base camp. He found,once when his group was mixed in with regular military, that he cold not just write inspiring speeches but inspire courage into troops. But he chafed under the military organization, "I don't like to work with troops beyond those that I can see."
He heard of the travails of Elsir Vale and came to offer himself.

He will be using the Arcane Duelist alternate class feature for bards.
He will be shooting a shortbow when not telling inspiring stories or casting.

How does Sunday evening sound for having a character built deadline? And when people get theirs up, if people could give a glance over it would be appreciated.

Next Monday i will post to start some IC interaction, earlier if people are set earlier.

Thank's for having me SolosAddie. I'll fill in the gaps and go for a Rouge/Cleric, probably human.

I've got a background coming along nicely.

Solos, sorry about taking so long, it has been kinda crazy here, and have just finally gotten some time to think up a character concept. I am thinking Human Fighter, dual-wielding shortswords, but I have a question in regards to some mechanics.

I want to know how power attack and two weapon fighting with double slice will interact. I know that on my main hand, I will take a -1 penalty to get a +2 on my damage. However, with my off-hand, I should take a -1 and only get a +1 to damage if I am just reading the feat. But it seems as if that is on off hand weapons that don't get a full strength bonus applied and that is what double slice does. So is my off-hand going to be -1,+1 or -1,+2

As I am trying to feat this character out, that determines where I put some things lol

Ok, this is my take on it. With double-slice, you wield both weapons with the same amount of power, so treat both as -1, +2 etc. Although you're already down -2 i believe from fighting with two weapons so you'll have to be careful when choosing when to power attack.
