The family was travelling with a small caravan to settle in the town of Sandpoint when the caravan was attacked. Her parents quickly hid her and helped the others fight the attackers. To the frightened little girl, the fight seemed to last forever. Her heart beat frantically as she listened to the sounds of the battle raging all around. After what seemed like an eternity, the sounds of the battle died down. Elsbeth crawled out of her hiding place and began to look for her parents. She searched frantically until she finally found them lying on the ground. She tried to wake them, believing they were simply tired from the fight. She quickly realized they were both bleeding. One of the adults came over and tried to comfort the scared and orphaned girl. Elsbeth refused to move from her parents. She begged for someone to make them all better. She was told there was nothing that could be done, that they had fought bravely and helped save many lives. None of that mattered to Elsbeth. All she knew was that her parents were gone. They were the only family she had ever known.</p><p></p><p>The caravan continued to Sandpoint where a family was found for Elsbeth. Her life with her new family was fine at first. As she grew older, her new family started treating her more like a domestic servant than a daughter. She was forced to wash clothes, clean the house, and do other chores. If she refused, she would be denied food. She wasn’t allowed to have friends or leave the house without an escort. One time she snuck out a window to go explore. When her parents caught her, she was punished severely. </p><p></p><p>Elsbeth discovered her innate magical abilities during her teenage years. It was quite accidental and very shocking to the young girl. She had been staring absently while sweeping the floor. Without realizing it, strange words started flowing from her lips. When she stopped talking, she saw odd auras emanating from a few items in the house. These auras were not very bright but they were noticeable just the same. Elsbeth became frightened that she was being possessed by demons and ran out of the house and straight to church. She explained everything to the elder priest who listened intently. Afterwards, the priest reassured her that she was not being possessed by demons. He explained that he suspected she was learning magic and sent her to see Ameiko. Elsbeth didn’t understand what the tavern owner could do for her but respected the priest’s decision. </p><p></p><p>The tavern was busy at that time of day. Upon entering the tavern for the first time in her life, she was awed by the vast number and variety of people there. A barmaid came by and asked her if she needed anything. Elsbeth said she had been sent to see Ameiko. The barmaid pointed the tavern owner out for her. As Elsbeth was walking towards Ameiko, she was suddenly grabbed rather harshly. She turned and to her horror, saw her adoptive father staring at her. In a loud voice, he demanded to know what she was doing here and not at home finishing her chores. Elsbeth tried to get away but his grip was too strong. It didn’t take long for everyone in the tavern to stop what they were doing and give their undivided attention to the commotion. Ameiko came over and inquired what was going on. When Elsbeth tried to explain, her father told her to shut up. Ameiko didn’t take kindly to his treatment of Elsbeth and said so. He replied that it was a family matter and to keep out of it. Ameiko nodded and took a few steps away. Elsbeth thought it was odd when Ameiko started singing. She found it even stranger when her father was soon fast asleep on the floor. </p><p></p><p>Ameiko had the man dragged out of her tavern and took the confused girl to the backroom to talk in private. Elsbeth was grateful to Ameiko for intervening but also frightened of what punishment would await her once she got home. Ameiko calmed the young girl down and told her to just tell her why she came. Elsbeth started at the beginning with the strange words and then the weird auras she saw. She explained she had run to talk to the priest at church and that it was he who had sent her here. Ameiko was very comforting and offered a room for Elsbeth to stay in. She explained to Elsbeth that she likely had innate magical abilities that were now manifesting. She told Elsbeth that she knew some things about magic and could help her to learn more about her new abilities. Elsbeth couldn’t agree faster and was relieved to be out of her house.</p><p></p><p>During the next few years, Ameiko taught Elsbeth many things. Ameiko is a hero to Elsbeth for rescuing her from a dreadful home life and for teaching her how to control her magical abilities. Elsbeth would do anything Ameiko asked of her short of killing or hurting someone without a valid reason. </p><p>[/sblock]</p><p></p><p>[sblock=INFORMATION]</p><p></p><p>Name: Elsbeth</p><p>Player: Graybeard</p><p>Race: Half-Elf</p><p>Class: Sorcerer (Boreal)</p><p>Level: 2</p><p>Experience: 0 XP</p><p>Alignment: Chaotic Good</p><p>Languages: Common, Elven, +2</p><p>Deity: None</p><p>Size: Medium</p><p>Gender: Female</p><p>Age: 22</p><p>Height: 5'-10"</p><p>Weight: 140</p><p>Hair Color: Black</p><p>Eye Color: Emerald Green</p><p>Skin Color: Light Brown/Tan</p><p></p><p>ABILITIES</p><p>Str: 10 +0 (0 points)</p><p>Dex: 14 +2 (5 points)</p><p>Con: 14 +2 (5 points)</p><p>Int: 14 +2 (5 points)</p><p>Wis: 12 +1 (2 points)</p><p>Cha: 18 +4 (10 points, +2 racial)</p><p></p><p>COMBAT</p><p>BAB: +1</p><p>HP: 17 [d6, +2 Con, +2 FC]</p><p>AC: 12 [10 base, +2 Dex]</p><p>AC Touch: 12 [10 base, +2 Dex]</p><p>Flatfooted: 10 [10 base]</p><p>Init: +2 [2 Dex]</p><p>CMB: +1 [1 BAB, +0 Str]</p><p>CMD: 13 [10 base, +1 BAB, +0 Str, +2 Dex]</p><p>FCMD: 11 [10 base, +1 BAB, +0 Str]</p><p>Fortitude: +2 [0 base, +2 Con]</p><p>Reflex: +2 [0 base, +2 Dex]</p><p>Will: +4 [3 base, +1 Wis]</p><p>Speed: 30'</p><p></p><p>WEAPON</p><p>Dagger: Attack: +1 [1 BAB, +0 Str], Damage: 1d4, Crit: 19, Type: P or S</p><p>MW Light Crossbow: Attack: +4[1 BAB, +2 Dex, +1 MW], Damage: 1d8+1, Crit: 19-20 x2, Type: P</p><p></p><p>RACIAL</p><p>Abilities: +2 Cha</p><p>Size: Medium</p><p>Speed: 30'</p><p>Favored: Sorcerer</p><p>Low-Light Vision: Can see twice as far in conditions of dim light.</p><p>Adaptability: Receive Skill Focus as a bonus feat at 1st level.</p><p>Elf Blood: Count as both elves and humans for any effect related to race.</p><p>Elven Immunities: Are immune to magic sleep effects and get a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects.</p><p>Keen Senses: Half-elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception skill checks.</p><p>Languages: Common and Elven</p><p></p><p>CLASS: Sorcerer</p><p>Armor/Weapons: None / Simple</p><p>Bloodline Power: Cold Steel</p><p>Cantrips: Has 4 cantrips that may be cast any number of times per day.</p><p>Eschew Materials: Gains Eschew Materials as a bonus feat at 1st level.</p><p></p><p>FEATS</p><p>Alertness (1st) - Get a +2 bonus on Perception and Sense Motive skill checks.</p><p>Skill Focus (bonus) - Get a +3 bonus on spellcraft.</p><p>Eschew Materials (bonus) - Can cast any spell with a material component costing 1 gp or less without needing that component.</p><p></p><p>TRAITS</p><p>Hero Worship (Ameiko) - Gain a +2 bonus on concentration checks & gain a +1 trait bonus on all attack rolls against foes that threaten Ameiko.</p><p>Charming (Social) - Gain a +1 trait bonus when you use Bluff or Diplomacy on a character that is (or could be) sexually attracted to you, and a +1 trait bonus to the save DC of any language-dependent spell you cast on such characters or creatures.</p><p></p><p>SKILLS 4 [2 base, +2 Int)</p><p>Bluff +8 (1 rank, +3 CS, +4 Cha)</p><p>Knowledge (arcana) +7 (2 rank, +3 CS, +2 Int)</p><p>Perception +6 (1 ranks, +1 Wis, +2 race, +2 feat)</p><p>Sense Motive +3 (0 ranks, +1 Wis, +2 feat)</p><p>Spellcraft +10 (2 rank, +3 CS, +2 Int, +3 feat)</p><p>Survival +5 (1 rank, +3 CS, +1 Wis)</p><p>Use Magic Device +8 (1 rank, +4 Cha + 3 CS)</p><p></p><p>BONUS LANGUAGES</p><p>Goblin, Halfling</p><p></p><p>CARRYING CAPACITY</p><p>Light: 33#</p><p>Medium: 66#</p><p>Heavy: 100#</p><p></p><p>EQUIPMENT</p><p>Explorer's Outfit (0gp, 0#, worn)</p><p>MW Light Crossbow (335gp, 4#, belt)</p><p>Dagger (2gp, 1#, belt)</p><p>Backpack (2gp, 2#, back)</p><p>Bedroll (0.1gp, 5#, backpack)</p><p>Waterskin (1gp, 4#, backpack)</p><p>Common Lantern (0.1gp, 1#, backpack)</p><p>Flasks of Oil [2] (0.2gp, 2#, backpack)</p><p>Trail Rations [3] (1gp, 2#, backpack)</p><p>Belt Pouch (1gp, 0.5#, backpack)</p><p>Mug (0.02gp, 1#, backpack)</p><p>Flint & Steel (1gp, 0#, backpack)</p><p>Alchemist Fire (2 flasks)</p><p>Small Steel Mirror</p><p>Total (13.42gp, 22.5#, light)</p><p></p><p>FINANCES: 11gp, 4sp, 1cp</p><p></p><p>MAGIC</p><p>Cantrips [unl]: Detect Magic, Read Magic, Prestidigitation, Ray of Frost, Open/Close</p><p>1st Level [4]: Mage Armor, Color Spray</p><p></p><p>BLOODLINE: Boreal</p><p>Skill: Survival</p><p>Arcana: Spells with cold descriptor increase save DC by 1.</p><p>Cold Steel: Can touch a weapon or up to 50 pieces of ammunition as a standard action, giving it/them the frost property for 1 round.</p><p>[/sblock]</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>[sblock=Family, Relationships and Personality]</p><p>Adopted parents: Mother-Mina Trancus, Father-Vardon Trancus</p><p>Sister: Corina</p><p>Brother: Kellon</p><p></p><p>Family: Elsbeth does not know of any biological family but hopes there may be some out there somewhere.</p><p></p><p>Boyfriend: None.
