[QUOTE="nonamazing, post: 4312924, member: 12118"] I'm also interested in playing a Varisian. Perhaps we can link our character's backstories? A pair of loyal Varisian brothers or cousins might be an interesting concept. Azor, I'm going to go ahead and scrap my previous idea of a druid character, since if other players are also interested and I don't want to put anyone out. I'm instead going to go with Wizard, which no one else has yet chosen. [U]Brief character concept (details to come)[/U]: [B]Chaine, Varisian Wizard[/B]. While there are a number of Varisian sorcerers (some quite famous, in fact) and a considerable amount of Varisian bards, there are very few Varisian wizards. The Varisians are travellers, and not generally suited to the more sedentary life of a scholarly wizard. After all, the Varisians tend to think, if the magic doesn't come naturally to you, why go hunting for it in books? Chaine is something of an exception. Both of his parents were sorcerers, and even as an infant, Chaine held a deep fascination and abiding love for the wonders of arcana. Unfortunately, Chaine completely lacked any sort of magical talent. His parents watched him closely, hoping that he'd begin to spontaneously manifest a cantrip or two, perhaps accidentally setting the caravan on fire the way his father had at that age. But Chaine seemed to have not even a glimmer of magical talent. But during one fateful summer, as Chaine's caravan passed through the sleepy seaside town of Sandport, his life changed. At a local tavern, Chaine tried to pick the pocket of an elderly man who turned out to be a wizard. The old man scared Chaine off with a well-chosen illusion, but the young Varisian lad came back the very next day, his curiosity getting the better of him. He eventually befriended the old man, learning that there were other ways to command the powers arcane than simply being born with it. It could be learned! And what's more, it could be taught. Chaine spent an entire year thinking about it, and when his caravan next came through Sandport, Chaine stayed behind, becoming the wizard's apprentice. I'll have a full character sheet up by tomorrow morning. [/QUOTE]
