[QUOTE="KidCthulhu, post: 254152, member: 26"] Well, I'll chime in. Gemma is older than the rest of the party, by several hundred years. Her background is deeply, deeply shadowed, and she doesn't talk much about her young life. However, certain things she has said, and information she possesses, leads the group to suspect that she was actually alive during the Titan's War, and saw the fall of Amalthea during the Druid War. They know she has a deep, deep hatred of Khirdet and all its minions. She bears terrible physical scars, burns and cuts marr her face and most of her body. Her emotional scars seem to be just as extensive. She is always cloaked. Gemma is angry, taciturn, and grim. She has smiled maybe 5 time the party can remember, and most of those were dark "I'm gonna inflict some death now" smiles. She does not speak often, but when she does, her words are short and to the point. She doesn't suffer fools, and doesn't have time for those who can't hold their own. That said, she has shown surprising tenderness and mercy for animals and innocents. She continues to travel with the party, despite her emotional standoffishness and lone wolf past. Why is anyone's guess. Elves encountered in the forest bow to her and address her as "My lady". What's up with that? All in all, she's been a fun role playing challenge. Grim and depressed is easy, but taciturn is hard. I have to give myself a budget of 30 words per game, and try to stick to it. Hard for a wordy person like me. [/QUOTE]
