Also, remember that it is CHARISMA, not WISDOM that modifies WILL saves. 
Okay! Beta version up and ready for comment. Fixed stats and added languages as well.
Description and background complete! Some details of home country added.
[sblock]Name: Lily
Race: Human (?)
Class/Level: Warlock 8
Gender: Female
Exp:
Action Points: 9/9
Desc: Lily is at first glance an unusually pretty woman, with smooth skin and winsome features. Her skin however isn't just pale, it is white; the glossy shade of unpolished porcelain. Her eyes are black on white, seeming to lack irises altogether. She's cool to touch...not cold, but not as warm as she should be. These things, combined with her usual preferred wardrobe of blacks and dark greys sometimes cause people to mistake her for the undead, particularly a vampire.

Background:
I don't remember much about who I was. I know what they tell me. That my name was Lilian Archer. That I worked for them. A field agent. A spy. And that something had gone wrong in the surveillance of a renegade wizard. Violations of the Tenets of Ethical Magic Usage. I tried to make the arrest, and he...did something to me. Killed me, or worse.
Only they brought me back. Whatever the mage did made it harder than usual though. I'm no expert on magic. From what they said, he didn't just kill me. He...anihilated me. But in the process of doing it, a pattern of my body and soul was made...like a shadow being burned into rock, only the shadow was me, and the rock was the fabric of reality. So they rebuilt me. Poured magic into the pattern, like steel into a mold.
I'm different now. I know that. This body isn't exactly...human. And as for souls...how can you tell if you have a soul or not? Can souls be made with magic? Can they be unmade? What happened to Lilian Archer...the part of her that can go beyond the body? Am I just a copy? Or am I a replacement?
The good news is that they don't leave me much time to think about that kind of thing. They keep me busy. I go by Lily. It seems like...less of a lie, somehow. I do the same things they said I used to do...I just do it differently now. I have abilities I once lacked. I lack other things I once had. I help keep the Commonwealth of Arborast safe. That's what they say...the Black Eye, that is. The secret police. The watcher of the borders. I believe them, because they're all I have.
Well...them and sometimes flashes of Lilian's dreams, memories...flashes of her. They make me feel human. Alive. I'm afraid one day they may try to take them from me...and I don't know what I'll do then. I'm afraid it may not be pretty.[/sblock]
[sblock=Country of origin, basic info, WIP]The Commonwealth of Arborast, alternately known as just The Commonwealth, or just Arborast, consists of a central citystate (the 'real' Arborast) carved out of the heart of a large forest, and its associated satellite towns and cities. It controls the arterial trade route Kingspath, which follows the main branch of the Serpent's Tongue river as it flows out of the clustered mining towns in the Highreach mountains and down to the temperate valleys below. Arborast began as a logging and trapping town, but quickly grew as trade from the mountains came to it on the river. When Kingspath was completed, the multiplying trade that came from both directions quickly grew Arborast to city-state status.
The location of Arborast puts it at frequent odds with the Talenesti elves of Greenwood, and its history is rife with fights that were wars in all but name, treaties, betrayals...intrigue enough for an Imperial court. In particular, Arborastians are suspicious of magic, having been on the recieving end of it so often, and their laws place numerous limits and oversights on the practice of magic. It's not outlawed, as they're well aware that one of the best ways to deal with magic is to have magic...but it is carefully controlled by means of a Royal Mage Corps, and a secretive organization called The Black Eye, which maintains spy nets within the cities as well as the elves and other foreign nations, to track potential threats and, when necessary, to take discrete action to neutralize those threats.[/sblock]

You could be my cut-man! Actually, physician might go good too. Maybe they were childhood friends, grew up in the same neighborhood. We both went off our separate ways, but after being taken advantage of by mooches, Anderson sought Charles out, knowing their friendship was stronger than the temptations of fame.
