Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dichotomy" data-source="post: 3146794" data-attributes="member: 12941">I've been mulling it over, and I think I'd like to through my hat in the ring.  Upfront, I'd like to note that I have no knowledge of Castle Ravenloft.  Unfortunately, I also have little knowledge of Eberron, so I've been reading what I can find.My concept, at this point, is a bard, probably a changeling (though that might become human, since I know so little about changelings).Background: Since I'm unfamiliar with the setting, my background sketch is quite rough right now.  I'm uncertain as to specific events of the war (still reading on that), but I think I'd likely have been involved in some capacity helping to boost moral and give that general support at which bards shine.  I'm thinking that, given the state of things since the war, and all the political, social, and economic movement going on, I'd likely have been working as a diplomat of sorts (for either some governing body or a merchantile group).  However, rather than being on the up-and-up in a role such as ambassador or negotiator, I'd have been working more covertly as a manipulator.  Due to a general distaste for the job, coupled with a desire to not die from a knife in my sleep, I've since left that life to see how my talents could fare adventuring in a sort of return to the battle work I did in the war.I'd love any comments or general thoughts that could flesh this out more.Primary Role: While charismatic, of course, I'd assume the role of a party face, though likely not a role of a leader.  I'd have a secondary role as helping gather information, via manipulation, magical assessing, and even passive disguise and observation.  Naturally, in combat my role would be primarly buffing, with a backup focus battlefield control (via charming and the like).Quirks:  Compared to most changelings, I'd probable be considered uncautious and more friendly.  I think I may have a slight inferiority complex coupled with a need for attention (in a typical bard sort of way) that has resulted in my acting almost more human (by changeling standards, not by human standards).Distinguishing Abilities: Obviously bardic music and magic.  Additionally great focus on the social skills, and probably fluency in many languages.Other Games in Which I've Been Involved:Rose, tiefling dervish in <a href="http://enworld.org/showthread.php?t=171906" target="_blank">moritheil's Invasion of Mori</a>Aeron, the Last Prophet of Caria, cleric of Pelor in <a href="http://enworld.org/showthread.php?t=162677" target="_blank">Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game</a>Idim Moq Qo Harr, swashbuckler in <a href="http://enworld.org/showthread.php?t=171843" target="_blank">Nalfeshnee's Tale of the Clueless</a>Konstantine D’Artur, bard in <a href="http://enworld.org/showthread.php?t=144033" target="_blank">Krago o'the Mountain's Shackled City</a> (game not currently running)I tried DMing <a href="http://enworld.org/showthread.php?t=162584" target="_blank">Dichotomy's Age of Worms</a>, but it fell apart when three of the characters had to abruptly stop playing on the boards, and a fourth stopped posting regularly.  Note that the game is also a bit messed up because it was started during the time that the boards crashed, so much had to be reposted in summary format.</blockquote>
