[QUOTE="pathfinderq1, post: 6773493, member: 48394"] I will probably have something up later today or tomorrow. First pitch is going to be Wood elf Rogue 1/Monk 4 (shadow). She was born in the High Forest, and was drawn out into the wider world by a relentless curiosity- which led her onto dark paths. After years a crisis of conscience led her home in search of wisdom and peace- instead she found her family and her village gone... More details forthcoming! >Rikka was born in a small village in the High Forest- one of the few permanent settlements of the wood elf tribes there.
