Background:

Dane's father was a scribe and sage, in the service of the noble caste from the once great city of Sharuun. He hated life there and wanted nothing more then to get his family out of the city in hopes of finding a place were they could hide from the shadow and live free. It was to this end he saved every copper he earned and slowly built up stores of supplies. Life for Dane was easy. His only chore was learning from his father. Being the son of a trusted servant to the so called noble houses he was able to be schooled in his fathers trade. He learned reading, writing, as well as the history and geogrophy of Erenland. In his free time Dane spent his days running about the city. He got into a lot of mischiff, liffting purses from those wealthy enough to have them, swipping treats from farmers carts, and exploring the city it's self. He never second guessed himself, relying on speed, a sharp mind, and a lot of luck to keep him out of trouble. His friends nick named him, Dane "the Swift" and the name stuck. At the age of 13 life changed. Dane's father made his move and took his family out of the city heading northeast. In hopes of finding a quite place on the planes between Erenhead and the mountains. It was however not to be. Midway through thier journey they ran afoul of a group of Orcs making thier way to Erenhead. During the attack, Danes father revealed a secreat even his wife and son did not know, whne he hurled mystical flames down on the attacking Orcs. Dane was the only one to escape the encounter, his mother knocked him out and tetherd him to the horse. The horse ran off into the night and when Dane came to it he was safely away from what was left of the Orcs. Eventually Dane made his way North. Doing what he had to to survive. He eventually ended up in Erenhead. Were he abandoned his fathers surname and became Dane Swift. His hate for the shadow and it's minions never faltering Dane took any opertunity he could help those in need. Eventually he fell in with a group of smugglers. He worked with them for several years, and learned much from thier leader, Krenner a skilled channler of the hermatic tradition. Eventually they were forced to disband, and Dane left the city. Stowing away on a boat he found himself in Fallport, were he narrowly avioded enslavement. Once he he escaped that foul place Dane decide to try his luck slipping into the elvan lands in hopes of joining the last true resistance agianst the shadow.

Dane is now 20 years old. He is about five foot ten inches and of avarge build. His hair and eyes are dark brown, he keeps his hair short and his face clean shaven. He dresses in dark forest colors adn were's a set of worn leather armor given to him by his former mentor, Krenner. His most valued possesions are an old shortsword he found in a ruined village and the lore book he found in his fathers saddlebag.

Well, my character is done :) I decided to go ahead without any of the info from AtS (I really need to buy that book, though). You can read his action-packed story back on page 1.

Wil, if you want we could tie our two characters' backgrounds together. Just thought I'd throw the possibility out there. Let me know what you think.

Toric, I'll probably tweak the current part of Elidur's story based on how you want to start the campaign. If you want to tweak it yourself, however, feel free.

I cannot wait for this game to get underway :D

Glad to see everyone getting their characters finalized and backgrounds hammered out. I plan to start the game sometime between Wednesday and Friday night, so you all have a bit more time to finish up before we get going. Looking forward to the game!

We could do that. My character is essentially a legate hunter, he hates them above all others.
 

Thrarn,

For the background, have the elven healer be Darius, my character. I used salves and ointments to heal part of Thrarn's face and social skills to heal some of his spirit.

Darius is very personable for a wood elf and is greatly concerned about the health of others. Darius's talents for healing others has drawn him out of the protection of the wood elves and among the people who need it most. During his travels, Thrarn has on occasion traveled with him, providing protection and an extra set of eyes in these dangerous times.

More background will be attached to the character shortly.

By the way Thrarn, I like the picture and character sheet for your character.

Cool. My character's background has been posted back on the first page of this thread. Give it a onceover and I'll do the same with yours when you post it. If you can think of any possibilities...
 

Just wanted to say this setting looks cool. Saw it in the store yesterday, but didn't buy it... yet. I look forward to following your adventures, and if a position opens up, would be more than happy to join in. I also think it's great to have one of the designers playing in the game! Have a great game!

Keia,
That sounds good to me. I will change my history to reflect your idea.

If you want, I dont mind creating a character sheet like Tharns for you. Just find a picture and it wouldnt take me long to do it.
