My sentiments exactly, anyways, here's the Child of Order.
----------
Child of Order (Template)
Occassionally the lords of order needs a champion of Law, other times creatures native to the planes of law breed with creatures from the material planes. Whatever their origins, the child of order is the result. A child of order looks much like its material plane parent, but have angular features, skin the color of polished metal, and clear blue eyes. They are in every sense of the word, perfect beings. Some Children of Order have insectlike traits, such as mandibles or compound eyes, this is usually a sign that they are of formian stock.

Thanks Frilf, you would know!
I'll send you an e-mail latter in the week. Busy with the job placement company trying to help me find steady employment. (Haven't had much time for writing new stuff.) I've just started self-training on Adobe Illustrator CS.
Cheers!
