Description (Include Age, gender, height, weight, physical appearance):

----------------------
Background (Brief):

Ayindril’s early life was defined by a single traumatic event that happened when he was very young. A fire started in his home, and both his parents were killed. As Ayindril had no siblings, he was taken care of by friends of the family and others in the community. Ayindril felt a lot of guilt over the fire, fearing that somehow he’d been responsible. In order to ease his mind and suffering, the elders informed him that he could not have been responsible. Indeed, the fire was not a natural fire, but seemed to have had some kind of supernatural origins. It appeared Ayindril’s parents had been murdered, but the elders had no idea who or what could be responsible.

As a young boy, Ayindril showed an amazing aptitude for the arcane arts, beyond that of most elves. A prominent wizard in the community in Kyonin, named Morwen, took Ayindril under his wing and continued his education in magic. Ayindril had many well-known and powerful wizards in his ancestry. More and more, Ayindril’s training shifted from the blend of martial and magical training that most elves receive to focusing completely on wizardry. The kindly wizard became Ayindril’s mentor, chief caretaker, and father figure.

Throughout his childhood, Ayindril struggled with an almost paralyzing fear of fire. Though none could blame him, he loathed this weakness within himself. Then came the fateful day when his mentor first cast a fire spell in his presence, as a demonstration. It was merely a Burning Hands spell, but Ayindril was terrified and ran from the room. He was deeply ashamed of his reaction, and the fact that Morwen was so understanding only made the feelings worse. On that day Ayindril made a decision that would change his life. He was tired of the sight of fire unmanning him. He would face his fear in the most direct way he could think of—he would concentrate his studies on fire magic. In this way he hoped to ultimately conquer his fear.

At first, his mentor supported Ayindril in his endeavors, seeing the obvious benefits of Ayindril overcoming his phobia. As Ayindril became more and more focused, even obsessed, the two elves began to come into conflict. In his efforts to master all forms of fire magic, Ayindril became an elementalist. Morwen was a very traditional elven wizard, subscribing to the philosophy of nine schools of magic. He saw Ayindril’s embrace of a different philosophy, one focused on the four elements, as a perversion. He considered it a flaw, and tried to influence Ayindril to conduct his studies in a more traditional way.

Eventually, Ayindril grew tired of the endless arguments with his mentor. It was hard enough to face the fire every day and face his fear. Having to constantly justify it to an increasingly unsympathetic teacher was too much. Ayindril thanked Morwen for all he’d done for him, and at the young age of 94, he left his home in Kyonin.

Ayindril spend the next ten years of his life wandering the world. He went anywhere he could find that had libraries and books, anywhere that had wizards, and anywhere that seemed interesting or new. Eventually he ended up in Sandpoint where he met Ameiko Kaijitsu. They quickly became fast friends. Ameiko’s music and voice reminded Ayindril of home and more pleasant days before the death of his parents, and he suspects that his tales of his journeys reminds Ameiko of the adventurer’s life she’s left behind and secretly misses. Ayindril has decided not to try to pressure her to take to the road again, but he has made it clear that if she ever wishes to, he would be happy to travel with her.

Ayindril’s immediate goal is to learn as much about magic and the wider world as he can. A more medium term goal is to solve the mystery of the fire that killed his parents. Perhaps when he is more powerful, he will be able to use divination to gain some answers. His ultimate goal is to conquer his fear of fire completely. He is well on his way. He hopes to one day destroy his fear once and for all by visiting and touring the plane of fire. As part of his studies, he’s already become fluent in the language Ignan, the language of the fire plane.

I'd also be interested in joining, if there's still space. I already have an idea for a character, as well, but I wanted to see the space available before committing.

 

[LexStarwalker]

Arkhandus, regarding the tabletop program, to I get 1.8+ Standard or 1.8+ Traipse?

Also, what do you guys use for voice comms? Skype, TeamSpeak...? Want to make sure I have all the software I need ready to go.

Thanks

 

[Arkhandus]

I don't use voice-chat for online games like this, so it's just text-based with a map and such in OpenRPG. It's much easier to keep track of things that way, and not everyone can do voice-chat (typically lacking microphones or having too much noise in their house or something). I use the normal OpenRPG program, but some players use Traipse instead (apparently the standard version of OpenRPG doesn't work right on all systems these days). Either version is compatible for gaming, though there are some glitches when trying to send node-files between the two on occasion. I would suggest the standard version of OpenRPG, unless you find that it doesn't work right on your system after installation, in which case Traipse should work as an alternative.

I'll look over the character sheet later when I have time. We probably have room for 2 new people at this point.

----------------------
Background(Brief):


Shaoxing's first memories were of the road. Shortly after her birth, her family joined a caravan of immigrants from Tian Xia, as her uncle had made a similar journey before and had opened up a business in Varisia and was looking for additional hands. As perilous as the journey was, the caravan made the journey relatively safely and established their own little village within the forested lands, somewhere to the west of Sandpoint. From there, Shaoxing's family traveled all throughout the region,sometimes selling the wares that her uncle had procured and sometimes helping other caravans traverse the regions. Shaoxing's father was especially skilled in carpentry and his skills were always in demand,so even during times where business was bad, their family was always welcome in the caravans.


But such good times did not last forever. Shaoxing's uncle convinced Shaoxing's father to take part in a risky investment that went sour. Even her father's carpentry trade was not enough to cover the debt fully, so, with no choice, they sold their wagon and sent Shaoxing off to a small monastic order near Shaoxing's hometown. “She'll be well-taken care of there”, they said. But Shaoxing was too young to understand their reasoning or the harsh times that had befallen on the family and cursed their names as she was sent off to the distant monastery. She promised that she would rise in the ranks of her new organization and then rub her accomplishments in the face of her parents.


As a monastic student, Shaoxing was soon noticed for her talent with the martial arts, for which she earned much praise from her fellow peers and the less experienced teachers. But the eldest teachers also noticed the anger and resentment she had still lying in her heart.They also knew that she often sneaked away from her quarters late at night to steal secrets from the archives (most notably, the drunken arts) and to challenge any bypassers who looked skilled with the arts. But while she received reprimand, she still learned little and was even convinced that she would soon become the leader of the order. It only made it that much more crushing when the day came for students to become initiated into the inner circles and start on their true journey of enlightenment, yet Shaoxing was bypassed for her inferior peers.


Deeply shamed, Shaoxing ran away from her monastery, living a life of carelessness and forgetting all that she was taught to instead embrace the deep anger that lied within. She wandered without any purpose except for the fight and a recognition of her own power, only stopping to mourn how little trust she had left for anyone. The only people she came to keep close were the rare people who had both empathy for her and who had enough accomplishments under their belt for Shaoxing to respect, such as the barkeeper of Sandpoint, Ameiko, whom she had gotten to know better after the latter resolved a bar-fight that Shaoxing had started. But all others either met either the steel of her sword or her cold glare.


Things finally changed, however, when Shaoxing found her parents again. At first, Shaoxing's resentment towards them intensified, as she had found out that they had become affluent again after Shaoxing's departure, leaving Shaoxing wandering why she was never taken back.But, she then found out that the rules of her monastery forbade such reclaiming of accepted students. Her parents had tried everything to reclaim her from the monastery, pleading and using even illicit means to perhaps reclaim her. Finally, they had gotten a signed seal stating that such rules could not seperate Shaoxing from her parents, but by then, Shaoxing had already ran away, never to be heard from again. Soon after, Shaoxing's parents died of an illness, leaving nothing but questions and untaken chances behind when Shaoxing came to look for them again.


But there was one thing Shaoxing felt that she could at least do for her parents. In their will, they stated that, upon their death, they wanted their ashes to be buried in their homeland, back on Tian Xian soil. With all the regret that Shaoxing had accrued, she felt that it was her duty to at least give their souls that peace. So, as the caravan for Tian Xia came, she polished up her carpentry skills that her father had taught her so long ago and came to sign on as the group's wainwright.

Oh wow, ok. I didn't realize that. I apologize, but I'm going to have to bow out. I'm not really interested in playing a text-based game. Most of the fun of RPGs for me is the interaction.

Sorry again for the confusion on my part. Hope you guys have fun!

 

[DMReckless]

Arkhandus,


It's been quite a bit of fun, but I'm going to drop out of the campaign. Work and social things are picking up at home, and I can no longer commit Sunday afternoons to this game. I wish you luck, and thanks for all that you've done to keep it going.

[Arkhandus]

Awww, that sucks. But it's understandable. Thanks for letting me know, and thanks for playing with us!

Good luck with your other games, Reckless.
