[QUOTE="JimAde, post: 1468422, member: 16739"] Curse the formatting! If you can't read my equipment list let me know. here's the bio: In the duchy of Vezenia there lived two very different brothers. Borias and Dathan Blackquill. While Dathan was thoughtful, cautious and thorough, Borias was careless, reckless and charming. Dathan sought to expand the family's business through sound practice and smart investment, whil Borias took to a life on the high seas. He was a privateer (some would say pirate) and he sought fame, fortune and glory wherever he could find it. He was reputed to have defeated a Fey prince in a duel at sea. Not surprisingly, Borias vanished under mysterious circumstances, leaving to his brother all his worldly possessions, including his ship and his blade. Both were, perhaps inevitably, called The Black Quill. Dathan put the sword on pegs in his study and forgot about it. But he put the ship to good use, making it the first of what would eventually be a three ship trading fleet. With this leg up he built his business into a minor Vezenian power. He married a highly respectable lady of the minor nobility and they had a son, Torren. Torren, it seemed, took after his uncle more than his father. He had a gift for arcane studies and getting into trouble. He desperately wanted to see the world and learn its secrets, both arcane and otherwise. But his father intended for him to inherit the family business. Torren spent several dissolute years consorting with the wrong crowd and getting into minor trouble. Then one night the trouble turned serious. In a dockside tavern, one of Torren's friends got into a fight. The opponent pulled a dagger and Torren intervened, searing the man's face with acid*. Only as they fled did Torren learn the man he had scarred was the Duke's nephew. Realizing his danger, Torren gathered a few belongings, including his uncle's sword, and signed onto the first ship leaving Vezenia. For the next several months he traveled east, seeing new places and people. Eventually he found his way to Freeport and was delighted with the place. It was both wide open and civilized, giving him the opportunity to continue his travels, and the resources to build on what he gathered. That was five years ago. He has since set himself up as a sword/wizard/alchemist for hire and has bought a small home near the Freeport Institute. He has concentrated on building his library and ingratiating himself with the scholars there. His library, while it certainly pales in comparison to the Institute's, is his pride and joy. During one of his adventures, he crossed paths with a pompous green parrot. The two have been inseparable ever since**. Torren calls him Captain Drac. Torren has exchanged several messages with his family, but doesn't know when, if ever, he'll be able to return there. For now he's content to stay in Freeport. * This incident is based on two assumptions: The duke's nephew had few enough hit points that the Acid Splash was life-threatening, and that life-threatening acid burns leave scars even if magically healed. **Torren's familiar. I just used the stats for a Raven, but I'd like him to be a parrot. [/QUOTE]
