[QUOTE="Bloodcookie, post: 3284980, member: 33085"] Terrorizing an oppresive theocracy? I'm there! :D 1) A paladin belonging to an obscure order of scholarly knights venerating Boccob, in his role as impartial keeper of knowledge. They are sworn to defend the free dissemination of all types of learning, and combat those who would suppress or destroy it. As such, this particular knight sees himself as duty-bound to work against the machinations of the Ragesian Inquisition. He comes from an isolated monastery in Ragesia, which he and his fellows abandoned shortly after word of Leska’s plan arrived, agreeing to scatter across the land and carry out a guerilla campaign against her servants. 2 - slightly longer, but only because I already had it written up for a character I never got to play :p) It could be argued that one of humanity's defining traits is the passion to create, to build up monuments that will persist long after their architects have passed out of memory, for no other purpose but to say "I Was." This creative urge is often strongest amongst practitioners of the arcane arts, perhaps because they possess the capacity to perform works that far outstrip those of the masses. One such individual in whom this spark of ambition has kindled is Thaal Vicengrix. While some who are artistically inclined strive to express their ideas and passions in paint or music, Thaal dreams of one day having his name listed among those of the near-mythic wizards of the past, virtual demigods whose deeds resonate within the artifacts and still-lingering sorceries they left behind. To that end, he has determined to set out in search of the forgotten lore that will serve as the framework upon which his own legend will be erected, as well as the adversaries against whom he must prove his mettle. After all, every hero needs a dragon to slay. Thaal is perpetually friendly and outgoing, ever-eager to take advantage of an opportunity to expand his horizons. A far cry from the stereotype of the scholarly recluse, he believes that while knowledge is the key to power, it is wasted if the world does not feel its impact. More than one of Thaal's wizardly acquaintences has warned him that he is teetering on the brink of recklessness and hubris, but Thaal simply dismisses the idea with a laugh; surely they have simply grown over-cautious and complacent in their ivory towers.
