[QUOTE="wmasters, post: 2840579, member: 40111"] OK, thanks for answering so quickly. I've got quite a few ideas bouncing around, but one of those that appeals the most is a conjurer/alienist. I don't know about a race yet, and the background may need to be adjusted to reflect it but I'll work that out shortly. How does this sound? I quite understand if it's entirely unsuitable (Alienist is not suited to all settings by any imagination!), and can look at one of the other ideas happily. So here's a brief background: Although she's travelled widely, Kysor is where Elana has made her home. Other people consider her mad, eccentric or downright dangerous, she's the mad witch woman in the desolate house that the kids dare each other to go to. It's an image she likes to keep up, not wanting to be hounded by locals who's cat needs rescuing from up a tree, and the privacy allows her to continue her research into other planes and the creatures there. Encountering the pseudonatural hippogriff years ago had been a turning point for Elana. She had not known such creatures existed, beyond nature, beyond magic, transcending the planes themselves. Fortunately, the hippogriff was not interested in battle that day, at least not then. She turned to study, to find out about these creatures, a study she still pursues, both in and off the field. The war detracted from her studies; she would not see the city she had come to love destroyed. It took her but moments to volunteer to join in the war, knowing her experience, and her summonings, would be a valuable asset in the battles ahead. [/QUOTE]
