Message: <blockquote data-quote="drquestion" data-source="post: 351559" data-attributes="member: 5810">Here's my description and background for Ban:   Ban was born in Vera-Tre, but he emigrated to Vesh while still a very young elf.  His parents fought alongside Vigilants in the Druid Wars, and, impressed by their bravery and somewhat dissillusioned with the isolationism of Vera-Tre after so many nations had come to its aid, they left Vera-Tre for Vesh, taken Ban along with them.  Both parents became members of the Vigil.  However, the family contiued to return to Vera-Tre periodically, in order to visit friends and relatives, so Ban is somewhat familiar with the area and knows people there.      Wanting to follow in his parents' footsteps, Ban began training to join the Vigil himself.  He trained hard not only in the arts of combat, but also in techniques for survival both in the wilderness and in cities.  As a native of Vera-Tre, he feels most at home in forests and other wilderness areas, but he also knows how to handle himself in cities.  Ban also became particularly adept at fighting slitheren, as his parents had been active in searching out their warrens for the Vigil, and they were able to give him special tips. Eventually, Ban was able to join the Vigil as a junior member, and he has participated in several assignments, mostly involving investigating slitheren attacks, but also some minor diplomatic assignments.      Ban is relatively tall for an elf (5'7"), with deep black hari and green eyes.  He is friendly enough, in a quiet kind of way.  He would like to believe in people's basic goodness, but he isnot naive, and does not place his trust in those who have not earned it unless he absolutely has to.  Ban believes in personal honor - he avoids lying whenever possible and he would never cheat or steal (unless the theft was somehow a justifiable goal of one of his missions with the vigil - stealing a powerful destructive magical item from an evil mage, for example).  He is a good person, and he believes in righting wrongs, protecting the innocent, etc.  However, his main consideration is his dutytowards Vesh, and while he certainly will not commit evil acts, he is also unlikely to stray from his course in order to prevent the evil acts of others, if doing so would jeopardize his mission.  The two most important things in Ban's life are his parents and the Veshian Vigil.  So far, those two things have not come in to conflict (his parents are vigilants, too, after all), but if they did, he would probably stand by his parents unless he had irrefutable proof that they had done something completely against his morality.    As a ranger and a Vigilant, Ban worships Tanil, but he also venerates Denev, as that is the religion of his ancestors.  He is not, however, nearly as fanatically devoted to nature as the elves of Vera-Tre.  He eats meat, for example, seeing it as part of the natural order of things.Edit:  sorry about the formatting.  I cut and pasted this from an e-mail and it didn't turn out so pretty</blockquote>
