EDIT: Changed my mind, found the Shifter Druid Substitution!
Name: Kala Moonsight
Class: Druid
Race: Shifter
Size: Medium
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Deity: Balinor

Age: 26
Height: 4'9"
Weight: 95 lb
Eyes: Red
Hair: White
Skin: Pale


Appearance: Kala's most distinguishing feature is the veritable plume of platinum-blonde dread locks that erupts from and threatens to engulf her head. Her skin is very light and her eyes are a penetrating unnatural reddish color (her clan says that the eyes of all dreamseers are this color, but this may be just a local genetic abberration). While not shifting, her beastial traits are minor. Her nose is small and button-like and a light amount of fur covers her upper arms and lower legs. Her ears are slightly pointed and pierced with a number of bone and metal rings. She usually wears grey or black clothing, cut to accentuate her pleasingly curved figure.

While shifting white fur covers her entire body and her normally large eyes grow even larger. Her nose extends into a shot sort of muzzle, but she does not gain a resemblance to any particular animal.

Background:

Kala is a member of a lesser sect of Eldeen druids called the Shifting Claw. The Shifting Claw is a sect practiced mostly by shifters that emphasizes becoming one with the beast within. As a dreamseer, it was only natural that Kala take up the mantle of Druidess as her mother and her mother before had.

The young druid trained with elder Claws, honing her connection to her lycanthropic heritage, but as she did she touched a part of herself that few shifters embrace or even notice. At the core of every shifter there is something undeniably human and as Kala explored herself, she found this core of inquisitiveness and lust for adventure and was never the same. After finishing her training, Kala left the Reaches, the home of her bestial-half, in order to seek out the world of men and explore the human side of her personality. After a few misstarts, a robbery, and one very sad night out in the rain, Kala was about to give up when she saw a piece of parchment posted calling for any and all interested applicants to apply at the Wynarn University of Aundair. After that all she had to do was take a ship (paying passage by offering up her Druidic magic), hop a lightning rail train (a harrowing experience that she will most likely not try again), and she was off.

At University Kala studied various unrelated subjects. History and Natural Sciences came naturally to her while Cosmogony somehow hit a chord in her (she has a thing for moons). Any attempt at a technological class was a disaster (now she KNEW what the lab fee in Minor Magical Creations was for).and her limited educational upbringing was sometimes an issue. She just can’t get a handle on cooking.

Kala is something of a strange personality. Her Shifting Claw training has always emphasized controlling the bestial side of her body, mind, and soul, and she still practices these beliefs, turning her lycanthropic heritage into a fierce weapon. However, she is currently focused on exploring her other side, the inquisitive irrascable human side. She has a ‘try anything once’ sort of attitude and an adventurous streak a mile long. If anyone ever challenges the party to a race to the top of the Galethspyr she’d be the first one to start climbing, if not the first to reach the top.

Glaw – Kala is most uncertain of how to react to the warforged. They are not natural, yet they are beautiful examples of human ingenuity, living things that are both inanimate and walking around! She’s relegated all warforged to being mere curios except for Glaw whose knowledge of the woodlands is quite surprising and refreshing.

Boromor – Boromor is a warforged and, as such, is completely alien to Kala’s experience. While she acknowledges that he can speak and act and think just as she, she’s still always a little surprised when the thing of stone and metal and wood actually says hello to her in the halls.

Teivel – Unlike many of the women of Wynarn, Kala has absolutely no attraction to Teivel. He is aristocratic and cavalier while she much prefers men who will take you out into the forest at night and erm.. erhm… well… 0.o. Her attitude can best be described as indifferent though there is a certain amount of snarkiness that passes through her lips whenever he is present.

Patruk – The shifter finds Patruk gloomy and reserved. She often tries to cheer him with some sort of joke or kind word, but perhaps he does not like cheering or perhaps she is not very funny. She is not particularly off put by his love of Death (one of her druidic teachers had once taken her to visit the home of a Child of Winter, it was fascinating!)

Midian – Kala enjoys Midian’s company even if she finds his druidic philosophy somewhat silly (sure, its easy to describe EVERYTHING as being natural, just means you don’t have to change anything). They most likely met in some sort of Nature or Xoology class. There’s something about him that reminds her of home.

Tel – Kala has a “thing” for Tel. He’s impulsive, action-packed, and full of passion and energy. Its not love, mind, but she wouldn’t mind finding out what he’s got hidden under all those layers of defensiveness. :wink, wink:

Plonk – Kala adores the little gnome. His inventions and engineering skills fascinate her to no end. Also, she enjoys explosions.

Johan – Kala is quite interested by the up and coming Paladin. His charm and dedication are quite alluring to her, though she has little concept of the privileges of House or Nobility. She, however, is not one to be flung and will tryst on her own terms or not at all.

Whisper – Some say that both Shifters and Changelings share a bond of kinship in the form of the Traveller. Kala isn’t so sure about that. While the intelligent and secretive changeling is an interesting and thoroughly entertaining associate with much knowledge and , she s also highly unsettling and her masked presence is not always appreciated. If you asked Kala, she’d say “she gives me the hibbity jibbities sometimes.

"Hi Tel, I'm Gwen Nagel, with the Wynarn University yearbook. I would like to get you to give me quotes about some of your fellow graduates, you know, so we can all look back and laugh later at the reunion, and see what everyone thought of eveyone. Here we go:"

Boromar: Whoevuh named dat warforged had a funny sense of humor! I’s read all about the adventures of Lord ir’Dayne and when I met this Boromar felluh, well, I jus’ bout died. He ain’t as good as the real thing, but I like to think a’ him as a friend a’ mine. After we get out, maybe we’ll go separate ways, but think-a the stories if we go to Xen'Drick or Sarlona: The Adventures of Tel Montayne and his friend Boromar. That’d almos’ be like me getting’ the billin’ over Lord ir’Dayne hisself! Maybe Glaw can come too.

Glaw: A warforged in clothes! Glaw is a funny guy, and I don’t think even he knows it. I guess the time Glaw, me, and Boromar spend together is pretty good, though sometimes Glaw can be a little chatty. I like him though, he never puts on airs…come to think, I ain’t never seen a warforged that done.

Plonk: Plonk certainly is funny. He goes on an' on about how to make everything new and bettuh. Well, last I checked, the world is still here: sure, we don’t have Galifar anymo’, but we’re still livin’, right? I figger we ought not mess with how things is always been done or we might change the over-all state of affairs: I seen how Plonk’s stuff blows up.

Vhir Leraek: Well, I tell yuh, Vhir knows his stuff about fishin’, an huntin’, and all mannuh of wild things. Sometimes though, I see him talking to hisself, and that worries me. He talks funny, but I don’ give him no grief, cause I know how it is to be given greif about where you’re from, and how you talk.

Patruk Sivid: Some damn mage think he’s smarter ‘n me just cause I can’t tell what the big diffrince is ‘tween a normal zombie, and a zombie from Karrnath jus’ by lookin’! I’d like his high-en-mighty-ship to show me the difference ‘tween his head and a hosses rear!

Whisper: To tell ya the truth, that Whispuh? She’s mo’ than a lil’ creepy. I doan think its polite to be wearin’ masks all da’ time or whatevuh that is she wears. It makes me nervous that she could get in my head anytime she wants. Heck…she could maybe BE me. That rubs me wrong.

Teivel ir'Torn: Teival is jus’ the kind of felluh that make Wynarn university as fun as it is for me. I went to some duelin’ club they had, wanted to learn a thing or two, and it seemed it was suppose to be called the kiss Teivel’s chain swinging bum club, cause it seemed that’s all those high-falutin’ better-n-you poufs did the whole time. I do believe I could take’em.

Johan d’Deneith: What’s that? You wanted me to say good things about my fellow classmates? I thought I already took all the difficult tests! Well…at least Johan ain’t stuffy. He still gets uppity and seems aweful sure of hisself. Though, now that I think of it, he ain’t never had an unkind word for me.

Midian Rightson: So, thing is, I like Midian. Sure, his family is rich, and all holy, and they have lands that they have mo’ land than they can hoe themselves, but Midian is alright. He took everything his family wanted and threw them on their ear and went his own way. I respect that.

Kala Moonsight: Well, Kala’s rilly not one to get all uppity, is she? She’s from the Reaches and that’s fine with me. Theys good folk over in the Reaches, know how to treat a person. I reckon this University is no kinder to her than it is to me.

Ah...Mista Collins I have a question

Now I have looked many times now, and I cannot find the Starting Funds for the Paragon Classes. Can you (well anyone for that matter) help?

(Things are still tight but their is possible light towards the end of next month...Woo Hoo! Plus I have gone from 10 games down to 2 by attacks of RL on other people. Something must be done! :D )
 


Ack. I just left to visit my new niece. I have internet access (obviously), but my character stats are on my laptop. I'll see if I can't find someplace with free WiFi to email the sheet, or I might have time to re-type it on this computer in the next few days. If not, I hope I'm not holding anything up if I can't send them before next Tuesday (when I get back home). Sorry about that. I thought with GenCon, the game wasn't going to be starting right away. :o
