Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mighty Halfling" data-source="post: 1935574" data-attributes="member: 13134">Laroo ManisaunLaroo Manisaun Class: Cleric of Procan/RangerRace: HumanWeapons: Trident, Dagger and Spiked leather armorGeneral thrust of the character: Laroo is a skilled underwater combatant and fiesty cleric to a storm god. Despite this, he's spent most of his "playing time" out of the water.Character concept: Pearl diver turned adventurer.Description: Laroo Manisaun is a short fellow with shoulder-length black hair and dark colored skin. In "Earth" terms, he looks like someone from Samoa or any other Pacific Island.According to D&D rules, he wears spiked leather armor, but his armor is a lot less substantial than most leather armor is illustrated. In fact, his armor covers his legs, waist, wrist, hands and forearms.  His forearm, hand guards, shins and knee protection are spiked. He doesn't wear boots or foot covering, prefering to walk barefoot. Rather than carrying a standard backpack, he wears a duffle slung over his shoulder. Around his neck is a woven hemp necklace that bares the holy sumbol of his god, Procan the Seastorm Bringer. The symbol looks like a oyster shell with three pearls clamped in its maw.Combat: With a trident in one hand and a dagger in the other (Two-Weapon Fighting feat), Laroo makes for a wiley opponent. When functioning as a healer, he uses his spiked armor as his off-hand weapon. He's been well trained to fight thanks to his years as a pearl diver (Endurance, Skill Focus - Swim feats), where he encountered innumerable sea beasts. There, deep in the dark waters (Blind Fighting feat) he learned to hone his senses and attack by instinct.His story: Laroo Manisaun was born and raised on a tropical island. There, one of the inhabitants' main trade goods was its development of a massive oyster bed in its many lagoons. From an early age, he learned to dive deep below the surface of the water, pry open the oysters and retrieve their valuable cargo.Like many of his fellow divers, he began to worship Procan, the god of the angry seas. Unlike many, Laroo learned the tales of the Great One, performed the rites and became a full-fledged priest of the sea god.But one day, life on the island changed forever, the earth tore open and spat out lava and fire, all at the behest of evil fire creatures. Laroo and the other residents fought the creatures as best they could, but it wasn't long until the island was destroyed. A massive evacuation was ordered and the island was deserted. Laroo and his fellow islanders scattered across the world. Some settled a new island. Others traveled to the mainland where they were absorbed into the populace.But Laroo did something different, he decided to become an adventurer. These dreams lead him to Freeport, where he joined a band of heroes trying to protect the pirate city from a sinister conspiracy.Goals: Laroo hopes to someday buy a ship, return to his home island and root out the evil fire creatures (Favored Enemy - Fire outsiders) who have taken over the island.</blockquote>
