Vicroar Shadowfall: [sblock=Background]

Vicroar Shadowfall loved scouting. He loved being in front of the advancing group, searching for dangers. He loved seeing the surprise on some nasty creature's face as the ambush that creature had set was ambushed itself.

Vicroar was raised in the typical elven society. He was the typical young elf, but slightly reckless when compared to his peers. One night, a group of humans came into his village to speak with the elders. It was his first time to see humans, and became curious about them. When they left, he followed.

He followed them all the way back to their own town, even prevented them from being attacked by a dumb goblin. Vicroar spent days on the outskirt of the town, watching as many of the humans as he could. He slept in the trees, ate what he could hunt and gather. He was nervous about going into the village, but knew he had to soon. [/sblock]

[sblock=Aredal Light]A bit overzealous cleric of Pelor who hates undead with fervor matching that of clerics of Wee Jas. Aredal was adopted by a clergyman when his parents fell to a plague that was spread by zombies in a now-forgotten village in Furyondy. The priest took him to Crockport and he was raised by the clergy who believed he is destined to become a great saint of the faith. Aredal grew to be a compassionate young man who doesn't deny healing from anyone needing it. But two years ago his adoptive father fell battling a vampire and this reminded Aredal of how his real parents too had died because of undead. He decided to devote his life to not only bring light to the world but also to destroy the darkness that is undeath. And an ancient prophecy told of sole survivor of a deadly plague who will become a great high-priest and saint of Pelor. Some clerics believe it told about Aredal. After the death of his adoptive father, Aredal took to wandering the Flanaess and when he came to Dyvers he heard of the troubles in Hommlet. Aredal decided to go and see if there was anything he could do to help.

What Aredal himself don't know is that his adoptive father didn't truly die. He too became a vampire. If Aredal were to find out of this he would face a difficult decision. (This part is to give you an interesting plothook if you want to use it. If not, that's good too.)

Aredal is somewhat short man with deep blue eyes and blond hair, giving him a bit angelic looks. He wears the normal yellow and orange garments of his faith. Aredal is aware of the prophesy and knows the fact that many priests believe it tells of him. But Aredal himself is a humble man and have decided to wait and see. If it is his destiny it will come when it will come, and if not, well, in that case it told of someone else. Aredal has a pleasant voice and a face people like to trust.[/sblock]

[sblock=background]Dolan, son of Danath, grew to the age of majority in a small holding in the Lortmil Mountains. His childhood was typically dwarven. He learned to smith, to fight and to drink. He also learned the importance of tradition and unity in the face of adversity. All of which makes the fact that he has recently separated his fate from the master artisan he trained under at his parents' behest very puzzling. The fact is, he has discovered that he has much more of a taste for the open road and adventure than for the hot forge, and thus he signed on as a guard for a caravan that was passing by his clan's holding, bringing goods from the Duchy of Ulek to Verbobonc.

In Verbobonc, Dolan quickly discovered that city-dwellers have a different set of ethics than those in smaller communities. He found that nobody cared about his well-being, and nobody was willing to help him find work or other necessities. The only kindly face he encountered was that of Garnor Thickwaist, a dwarf with a bit more experience in the wide world than Dolan. It wasn't until he woke up in an alley with a tailings-filled hangover and without the last of his savings that he grasped Garnor's true motivations.

Disgusted by the decadence of the city but unwilling to return to a life of stoic complacency, Dolan set out to find a place more to his liking. It was then that he heard of Hommlet's troubles. Listening to one of the count's messengers talk to several guardsmen about the opportunities for wealth and fame in the small village, Dolan began to forge a plan. Later that very day he set out for Hommlet, hoping to prove himself and earn fame, fortune, and a bit of belonging.[/sblock]

[sblock=appearance]Dolan a dour-looking dwarf with the early version of a full-bodied beard. He carries a thoroughly dented hammer (a family heirloom) and wears a still-shiny, if a bit imperfect, set of scale mail, his most recent effort at the forge. His granite-grey eyes search newcomers distrustfully, but behind the shield of experience can be seen the glint of an idealistic and adventurous spirit.[/sblock]

Sorry for the length of the original background, Airwalkrr. I guess I didn't realize how much I had typed out. I'll try to condense it some here:

[sblock=background]
Drynethael Midurien was born and raised in the elven community of Celene. His mother was a retired ranger, and his father a retired wizard. Both were well respected in the community and wealthy from their many adventuring exploits.

He was tutored by his parents, leading a relatively sheltered life in his early formative decades. His father tried to press him to study magic, and he did half-heartedly, but his true passion was practicing swordplay in the woods with his mother. He would often neglect his magical studies to practice with his sword or spend time learning the ways of fighting from his mother. So that was how it went with Drynethael for many years.

One day, while out in the woods practicing with his mother, the pair of elves were ambushed by a band of human bandits. A great fight ensued, and Drynethael and his mother slew a great many of them, but, just as the bandits were starting to rout, Drynethael saw a hidden sniper aim his crossbow at his (Drynethael's)mother. The sniper was too far away to attack with his sword and he didn't have time to draw his bow, so he tried casting a spell to stop the human. Unfortunately, his inattentiveness with his father's arcane studies showed itself, as the magic failed him during this crucial time. He was unable to do anything but watch as the bandit's crossbow bolt slew his mother. He struck down the remainder of the bandits, and afterwards wept as his mother died in his arms.

When Drynethael told his father what had happened, the old elf flew into a rage. He blamed Drynethael for his wife's death and, after settling the inheritance of his wife's belongings, kicked Drynethael out of his house, effectively disowning him.

Drynethael brooded for a long while, but finally enlisted with the Knights of the Hart. He threw himself into his studies there wholeheartedly, balancing his martial training with arcane studies in an attempt to both honor his mother's memory and respect his father's wishes that he study magic. Thus, Drynethael became a Duskblade for the Knights. It was about this time that rumors of a great evil trying to resurface in Hommslett found their way to Celene. Drynethael was only too eager to volunteer to investigate, ready to make his mother's spirit proud of him and to redeem himself in his father's eyes...[/sblock]

I realize it's probably still a little wordy, but I tried to cut it down a little, while still containing the gist of his background. I hope that's better. Finally, his appearance:

[sblock=appearance]
With shoulder length blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and a slender frame, Drynethael Midurien looks very much like a stereotypical elf. However, his demeanor is almost always businesslike and aloof - sometimes even arrogant - and the mirthful laughter typical among his kin is all but absent.

Drynethael wears the traditional colors of the Duskblade, exemplifying the dual nature of his training. His clothing boasts the colors of the sky just after sunset. His finely woven tunic and breeches sport various shades of grey, while his studded leather had been dyed black. The metal studs in his armor have been polished to a fine shine, appearing as stars against the black background. His cloak is a deep rich purple, the color of the western sky just after sunset. At his right hip he carries a rapier, while at his left is a quiver of arrows resting next to a belt pouch with strange runes traced into its leatherwork. A finely made elven bow is slung across his shoulders. A small wooden shield, traced with the leafy filligree typical among elven craftsmen, is strapped to his right hand, which helps support a leather satchel that Drynethael carries slung over his right shoulder.[/sblock]

[sblock=Background]Mulnock Dilngbor, is one of the many sons of the Dilngbor family. His father Drumock Dilngbor, is the "Locks and related devices expert" of town, and he always have a story to tell, most of them, from when he was recruited to save the village from the horrifying evil worshipers! Drumock was in charge of unlocking entrances and doors, finding traps and the sort. Dilngbors have been known for their talents with locks, traps and many mechanical devices, that their thin fingers can get. Most of his brothers are locksmiths too, or trap finders. But Drumock, Drumock was always the black sheep of the family. Deciding he wouldn't became a locksmith, he travel to become a powerful mage. Or so he said.
After many traveling, and some real life lessons, Mulnock learned to do things the easy way. Instead of learning and studding for years or decades, he developed an innate talent to steal the arcane energies from the spellcasters. In Mulnock words, "Arcane gestures? magical components? Giv' me!"
A few years from the start of his journey, he heard of evil, rising in his homeland, this was the opportunity to show his parents, that he was as capable as his father, and made them proud.
Mulnock changed his itinerary, next stop, Hommlet.-[/sblock]

[sblock=Apparence] Mulnock is a short gnome, with black hair, and a curled mustache, and a pointy beard. He has big black eyes, and is always asking questions. Anything wakes his curiosity. His lettle hands are always moving.[/sblock]
