[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 4842654, member: 82679"] Concept: Provided we are not allowed to use books like Complete Warrior, Unearthed Arcana etc... Here is a rough brainstormed draft of the character story: Loreen (Lora for short), a young bright girl of age 17, with exceptional intellect, a sound dexterous body and a natural beauty. She has an older brother (23) who served in the local militia. When Lora was younger (age 14) she would regularly accompany her brother when she didn't have chores to do or help her parents on the farm and fields. A quick learner and naturally adept at anything she undertook, the girl followed trough with the basic militia training nicely, despite her frail age. She was a happy and carefree child, until she caught the eye of one of the senior soldiers, who took her by force one evening as she was going home from practice (her brother had to sleep in the barracks). After the incident the man was whipped, removed from the militia and sent off to be trialed by the regional magistrate. Lora, however, was never quite the same. She locked herself in and became distant, silent and lost all desire to talk and play. Still an able child, she would draw and bring fantastical landscapes and magical creatures to life on the canvas. Lora's parents and brother were thoroughly concerned for her however, and sought out the aid of a local wise woman. The woman was both a healer and alchemist, as well as (reputedly although not proven) a witch. She told them that nothing short of time would heal the wound, but offered the parents to take on Lora as an apprentice. The girl reluctantly accepted, and for several years she learned much of history, religion, ancient texts, and even magic, for it turned out that the old wise woman was an able spellcaster. Lora gradually became more open towards the world, as the memory of her trauma faded away, but never truly disappearing. One afternoon, she received a letter from her brother: [I]"Dear Lora, I have been conscripted along with much of the militia force, to go and defend our kingdom in the upcoming war. I wish you to be brave and obedient, and ask of you to take care of our parents. Do not worry yourself about me, for we shall see each other soon, baby sister. Love, Arthur" [/I]Lora couldn't let him go off to war alone however, and so as soon as she got the letter, the girl packed her meager belongings and ran away from her tutor's house, leaving her a small note for her and Lora's parents... Mechanics: Wizard 1-5, Eldritch Knight 5-15 (provided we go that far). I require you allow the Milita feat from the Player's Guide to Faerun - it gives full martial weapon proficiency, as this will allow me to enter Eldritch Knight without taking a level in a warrior class. For craft/profession. Well Lora is a farm girl obviously, but her true talent is drawing (Craft: Drawing will be taken). She will also be getting various Knowledge skills, Spellcraft etc. Sound good?
