He stands 6'1'' and weighs in 164 lbs. He has yellow eyes, light green skin and his brown hair is shaven from the sides. He wears loose unadorned dull dark green monk's robes knotted around waist by a simple rope belt. On his back is a well-worn grayish hooded cloak. The hood is usually worn over his head. His forearms, ankles and feet are covered in black wrappings. His manners are reserved, but always polite. He doesn't talk much and carefully chooses the words in every conversation. Dalaa is honest, perceptive and dedicated, rarely showing any strong emotions. A slight, polite smile - which could mean just about anything - is usually the only visible expression seen on his face. Background: Dalaa has been a monk almost all of his life. His parents sent him to the monastery of the Jade Fist when he was only 10 years old. He was a good student, learning the arts of unarmed fighting, diplomacy and stealth. He had the typical githzerai upbringing so he would always be ready to fight the hated illithids and the githyanki. Dalaa’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed by his sensei, who saw potential in the young student. The sensei decided, that Dalaa would be included in the program, that trained warrior-monks for the rrakkma – hunting parties to slay illithids. Normally Dalaa teaches diplomacy to young monks, but he is always ready to leave on a mission if needed. So far he has been involved in one succesful rrakkma. The party of five githzerai managed to ambush and kill six illithids before returning back to Limbo. Shortly after returning from the last mission Dalaa would be summoned by his masters again. They spoke very little, but looked very concerned. They told, that while he had been gone, the githyanki had launched an massive invasion to the material plane. It had to be stopped before it would be too late. The strongest nations had already succumbed to the githyanki and the githzerai would send agents to the remaining remote locations still free from the githyanki to help the locals organize their war efforts. Dalaa left Limbo and arrived at the material plane with only four other githzerai. Each one of them would be sent to a different location. The numbers were very small considering the seriousness of the matter. There had to be something even more urgent going on elsewhere, that he wasn’t informed, but Dalaa couldn’t let that affect his mission.  He observed the area awhile and decided to contact a group of local magic users. Their skills at creating magic items would be invaluable in the war against the githyanki. They were suspicious at first – some of them still are – but Dalaa has decided to prove himself as a true ally.</blockquote>
