[QUOTE="ukingsken, post: 4790374, member: 78358"] Lol you're still listed as recruiting, so I figured why not give it a whirl. Character Concept is below. Hoping you got room for me! Deva Heading towards....Wizard? Special Item - Tome Feat - Linguist Scales of War BG - Explorer/Guide STR = 8 Dex = 12 Con = 10 Int = 18 Wis = 18 Cha = 12 [sblock=languages] In case you're wondering, Mara does indeed speak, count them 7 languages if you count common. 1) Elven (Deva) 2) Draconic (Deva) 3) Dwarven (Background) 4) Supernal (Linguist) 5) Abyssal (Linguist) 6) Primordial (Linguist)[/sblock] Marakesh Salik Destoren Verkosh Mara's life was spent always on the move. Her parents served as guides for anyone and everyone, from all walks of life and all races. They only asked that in return the passengers impart a tale, or a piece of knowledge that was unique unto them. In this way they hoped to one day return to their deity, a peaceful god of knowledge whose name always seemed just beyond their grasp. Mara was always particularly intrigued by her mothers ability to conjure flames from the air, and would often flip through her tome, attempting to decipher the words within but to no avail. As they travelled, and Mara grew she applied herself, asking of their guests a boon of language, wondering if perhaps one day she would be able to read the words scribed inside her mothers book. The years wore on and it became apparent that Mara's mind was sharp. Some nights she dreamt of flying through the sky, hurling bolts of lightning and great conflagarations of flame. Other times she dreamt of kneeling before an altar whose symbol she could not make out. One day she and her parents had just finished escorting a most wondrous passenger, an Astral Deva on an urgent mission. When they arrived safely at their destination, as was their custom, her parents set camp to receive their payment. When the Deva came forward, it said that it's payment would set them free. With that it opened its mouth and a cacophonous noise burst forth, one syllable whose power was palpable in the air. It knocked Mara flat, and just aas her head struck the earth she saw her parents forms limmed in brilliant light, tears streaming from their eyes. We remember they said as one, then leaning down her mother tucked the book next to Mara and whispered something so soft Mara could not hear. When she awoke they were gone, and since then Mara has learned every piece of knowledge she gained in her life, pursuing that which her parents sought. Penultimate acension to the side of their unnamed patron. [/QUOTE]
