[QUOTE="mkill, post: 5833089, member: 55985"] @[U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=17941"]craig[/URL][/U] : Sounds like a solid concept. It's definitely a character who would want to join this cause. Since the character is already Paragon-level, he (she?) would be either a really powerful child prodigy, or a seasoned veteran of the cause. As for ability scores, we are using standard point buy from the book. All: Some general information to help you make characters: [COLOR=LemonChiffon][I]Races in the Jade Empire [/I][/COLOR] The Jade Empire is located in the Northwest of a larger continent (did we ever give this one a name?). The Gold Dragon River cuts through the land from East to West. In the center lies Brodak-Baator, the old imperial city of the [B]elves[/B]. Note that both elves and [B]eladrin[/B] inhabit the Jade Empire. The races aren't distinctly separated, eladrin are merely elves with a strong innate arcane talent. Elves worship the dragon gods. Strong devotees of the dragons are rumored to undergo a transition to become [B]dragonborn[/B]. However, there are only very few of them, if they exist at all. While elves make up the majority of the population, there is a minority of [B]halflings[/B], who have settled here for hundreds of years, although they migrated from the east. With the orcish invasion came the [B]orcs[/B]. However, to this day orcs remain a minority, and most of them are soldiers, mercenaries, menial laborers or petty criminals. There is a small elite, mostly the imperial family and high-ranking officers. The orcs mainly rely on corrupt old elven families to rule. Even though orcs worship Baal, the demon lord, they are banned from becoming clergy. This position is reserved to [B]minotaurs[/B]. To the South lie the Diamond Spires, a towering mountain range that divides the Jade Empire from the Storm Plains. These mountains are home to [B]dwarves[/B]. The Storm Plains to the south are a barren wilderness, with small pockets inhabited by orcs, minotaurs, dwarves, and [B]xeph[/B]. In the East, the Jade Empire is separated from Al'Mathka, land of the [B]genasi[/B], by the Jagged Peaks, another massive mountain range that is mainly inhabited by the Aftok, bird people. To the north is an icy tundra, inhabited mainly by [B]shifters[/B] and elven barbarian tribes. The Jade Empire used to stretch all the way to the ocean in the west, but this area has been settled by [B]humans[/B] who came to this continent over the sea. When the orcs destroyed the old empire, the humans claimed these lands as theirs, and founded Morrisland. The humans are technologically advanced, and are rumored to pilot gigantic war machines. They possess this technology thanks to [B]gnomes[/B] who came with the settlers as engineers. The gnomes are also known to build [B]warforged[/B]. [/QUOTE]
