First Post
Hello to All.
I am so glad to be a part of this community and I can not believe that this site and particularly this Forum, is so user friendly and very informative.
Anyway let me introduce you to Galadrian FireStar, a Half Dragon/Grey Elf Wizard. After being inspired by another member(BlackDirge) and my DM, I have decided to post my newest PC, which is currently participating in my DM's ongoing campaign, based in his own World of Aranor(www.aranor.co.uk) The stats were actually rolled, so please forgive me if they seem very high, but they were rolled using the standard 4d6 system, just got lucky for a change. Also keep in mind the adjustments from the Half Dragon Template and from the Grey Elf. This character was generated at the higher end of mid-level due to my longstanding character, a Dwarven Paladin called Ragnar Oakenshield(History and Stats to follow in another post), being brutally slain by my DM(hahaha !!!) who was in the guise of a Blade Golem whilst on a sortie in Hell. So I had to generate a character that would be able to fit into the level of the campaign and also be able to help the PC's get out of Hell. Well as it happened I didn't end up helping the PC's, they got out of hell themselves and I have not even cast a spell in anger yet (3 nights of Adventure later) but in any case the character was fun to create and hopefully will be even more fun to play. If I decide that Galadrian FireStar's adventures are good enough for this Forum then I will post them and maybe his past history as well. Hope you all enjoy my creation !!!!!

Galadrian FireStar is a kind and gentle humanoid who wishes to promote the good in every being and bring out the best qualities in people of all races. However he is a staunch fighter of Evil, where ever he sees it and will not tolerate evil acts, no matter how petty. Galadrian is quite well toned and muscular for a Grey Elf, due to his Half Dragon heritage, which he fully embraces and has been encouraged since his mother birthed him. Unfortunately the fragile constitution of his Grey Elven mother, Elle Hadrian Firestar, was not strong enough to withstand the birthing of such a large baby with it's Half Dragon size and features and she died during child birth. The quick metabolism and strong constitution of the Half Dragon Baby enabled it to survive with out it's mother, plus the devotions of the grieving elven community helped to nurture the infant half dragon. Maturing quicker than the other elven children and mastering his lessons faster due to his Dragon Intelligence, Galadrian found his path in Wizardry and seeks to use his magic to combat evil and help others overcome strife and tyranny. Once he finsihed his training and appenticeship with the Elven Wizards of his community, it was noted that he had an apptitude for Evocation Magic, maybe it was his innate Dragon abilites surfacing or maybe it was his Grey Elf half guiding him, but he seemed more at home casting spells out of nothing and producing effects, than any of the other schools, Plus he relished in the sheer power of the magic coursing through his veins at every attempt of evocation spell catsing. So it was that Galadrian FireStar left his Elven Community to seek out adventure and bring about the downfall of Evil where ever he saw it. This lead to many adventures with different Adventuring groups, untill he found himslef in Hell with his current group and has recently returned to the Prime Material Plane. He is currently in between adventures (or so he thinks....DM plot starting to Boil Over) and is residing in the Great Dragon Lord City of Mylendria on the Continent of Keldrel, in the World of Aranor approx. 1500 miles away from his homeland. His current companions are NashRak TuffGitt(Minotaur Barbarian/Frenzied Berserker), Garlomor TuffGitt(Minotaur Cleric/Holy Liberator), Leander(Half Celestial/Human Sorceror), Malakai(High Elven Fighter/Bow Initiate), Taygar(Half Celestial/Human Rogue/Deepwood Sniper), Xandarier(Aasimar/Human Cleric/Scion of the God). Yes it's quite a crew and begger belief how we all manage to stick together with all the differing alignments and character traits but it seems to work out ok and all the PC's are at least some form of Good Aligned. galdrian FireStar is edging towards a Clerics Pretige Class....The Contemplative. But he is not sure if he wants to totally abandon his Wizardly pursuits, let me know what you think he should do.
So that's it, my newest PC....let me know if you want to hear more about him and his adventures or about his history and past adventures. Also I will detailing the life and adventures of my original PC for this campaign....Ragnar Oakenshield- Male Dwarf(Fighter/Paladin/Hunter of the Dead) in my next post.
Thanks for reading and please feel free to comment o the character and let me know any suggections or criticisms.
