Race: Human
Size: Medium
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Height: 5'6.5"
Weight: 119lb
Eyes: Blonde
Hair: Blue
Skin: Light
Appearance(s): A young, slender woman of great beauty. Is usually finely dressed in the finery of nobles.
Personality(s): Well known for her kindness and and keen intelect. Elenia enjoys conversation with all walks of life. She is known to be a bit impulsive and restless, but is always mindful of her duties.
-----------------------
Background:
Val is the child of a doppelganger posing as a local woman, and was abandoned in the streets of Sundaria. Living off the kindness of strangers (willing and unwilling), Val soon learned to hide her changeling nature, as it attracted too much attention.
A young Elenia Aureolus had managed to slip away from her guards while on the town. Not incredibly knowledgeable about hiding in a crowd, Elenia’s clothes were too fine and clean for her to be a commoner, and she stood out in the crowd. Val spotted the young girl and pulled her off the street and hid her from some thugs who had their eye on the cleaner, and better dressed girl.
Elenia was curious about the poor girl who had saved her, and Val told her that she never knew a mother or father. Elenia was enjoying the little girl’s company, and offered to take her back to the castle. Moved by the kind soul who was the first to talk to her as anything other than a waif, Val told her everything about herself, including her changeling ability. Elenia wanted to give her a better life and saw potential in Val, so she took her in as Valerie Leirass, and insisted Harile train her as Elenia's personal servant.
Harile was like the mother Val never had, and King Alden and Queen Naean did not argue, quite happy Elenia found a friend. When she wasn’t learning the chores of the house, or other training Harile felt was appropriate, Val and Elenia grew close as friends. Despite being a servant, Val was always an equal. They played with Val’s changeling ability, and Val learned to emulate Elenia quite well, and would occasionally pretend to be her while Elenia snuck out, or even sneak out and then emulate Elenia, who, as she grew, was gaining a reputation of kindness and equal treatment of the people.
Since then, Val has been a companion, friend, protector, spy, and coconspirator. She has even been a body double for Elenia, when her parents or guards needed someone of similar statue and build to appear. However, only Elenia knows Val’s secret for sure. Valerie Leirass is many things to Elenia publicly, and is generally accepted to be able to speak for Elenia on occasion, but Val has become skilled in the arts of diplomacy, deception, and stealth, and keeps Elenia informed well beyond any other resources might.[/sblock]

Okey dokey. Thanks for posting.

For the record, I posted the name (in this post) before I rolled the stats.Rystil Arden said:
Nevertheless, I can appreciate that some people will try and "bend" the rules, and Rule 0 applies, so I won't be using my first roll.
Now, the second roll is nowhere near as good, but still workable:
Second set of rolls here
11, 15, 8, 9, 8, 11, 15
I'd drop one of the 8's and have a build like this:
STR 9, DEX 15, CON 8, INT 15, WIS 11, CHA 11
That still fits with my character concept and backstory, so I'd be fine with Kelloran in this form. I've looked at the Arcane Trickster and that's not Kel, so it'd be straight mage after level 1.
What do you think?
