-What does the character look like?
[sblock=Pic]
[/sblock]
-What's his story?
Born in a small forest village, he remembers most of his adult life as citizen in the arcane district of
Old Nerrath, selling his particularly talent to the highest bidder, before he started to work as an adventurer out of the city (nothing much to explore in there.)
-Where does he come from?
Jorje was born and raised in the small village
Thunderstone.
But after manifesting his talent for arcane magic, his parents sent him to
Old Nerrath to study at the
Shadowdream Academy, that specializes in illusion and ... darker magic, in the arcane district. He later left the city for more lucerative jobs out there.
-What's his personality?
A bit dark and calculating, he isn't evil per se, but hasn't yet experienced the true values of sacrifice and friendship, but is up to learn them...
-Why is he an adventurer?
Profit and excitement. The magic items and rituals adventurers typically find on their explorations would cost him a fortune on the free market.
His past time mentor, that says he is always acting on self interest and won't never change the world has nothing to do with this...[/sblock]
