Here is my Evil character to be introduced a little later... I think.

 

Name: Lady Xyrsys Magesblood

Race: Moon Elf Lich

Age: 394

Class: Wizard/Lich/Soul Eater

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Deity: Vecna

Place of Origin: Evermeet

Appearance: Gaunt is the main word one would use to describe the silhouette of Lady Xyrsys, until they laid eyes upon the horrifying visage of her face. With skin grey as the grave and equally as cold, she is a terrifying remnant of her former beauty. With high, proud cheekbones and a magnificent jaw, it is easy to see her noble heritage, her nose is still partly intact, however the majority of her septum has been weathered away, leaving a delicate and fragile bone formation, still coated in skin. From her high hairline comes a mass of flowing black-grey hair, the latter colour the more prominent, it is swept back and reached to her hips. Her eyes are mostly intact, but her pupi have partially rotted away, eldritch green light shining through./*when concealing her form* A beautiful elven woman with mature features, looking around forty odd by human standards, she has brilliant azure eyes and flowing black hair, skin grey and fine, a beauty mark beneath her lip.

Armor/Clothing: Clad in midnight black protective garments, Xyrsys mixes style with protection. The upper half of her outfit is bound in studded black leather, enveloping her shoulders, neck, arms, stomach and back, but allows room for her cleavage to show in the centre. She wears thick leather fingerless gloves over the thin leather of her sleeves, with polished steel armguards. Her legs too are bound in leather, an ornate cincture around her waist, from it a long leather train extends, covering the back and sides of her legs. Steel greaves protect her shins, black leather boots that feature a pointed toe and a 4inch heel protect her feet and raise her height a few extra inches. She usually dons a spiked circlet and a dark hood, to protect her ghoulish features should she neglect using her taxing concealment abilities.

Weapon: A large flamedance-crystal headed spear named “blood seeker” It’s body is crafted from obsidian, which runs from tip to tip, but is only visible in the centre, where Xyrsys holds the vicious weapon. It is enchanted with a harm enchantment, making it’s natural edge that little more deadly.

Personality: Cold, cultured and intellectual, Lady Xyrsys is sarcastic and cruel at times, but retains her twisted sense of humour she possessed in life, while cold, she is known to be polite, while proffering to be blunt, she often wraps blunt messages in long and philosophical comments, which when analysed, have very direct messages to them. She is polite and well spoken, pleasant even, whether or not her nature is realized by those she meets. She also has the patience of the gods, and will take much under pressure before she shows signs of snapping.

History: Born in the year 985, the year of Bright Nights, into an elven family that held, and still holds, considerable sway within the city of Leuthilspar and it’s intricate politics. Her father a politician and her mother a tutor of magic, Xyrsys was subject to many arcane secrets from a young age.

Aside from voluntary experience in the military, and a few run-ins with bandits on the roads, Xyrsys life had been rather free of any trouble, but it was rumours of battle on the lands of Faerun that grabbed her interest.

Leaving the elven city around the age of 30, Xyrsys joined with a group of adventurers intent on helping people with their problems and tracking down evil, a rather generic introduction into the life of adventuring, it was with them she slew many evils, venturing as far as the great desert, and as deep as the Underdark.

At the age of 47, having drifted somewhat from her friends, Xyrsys was driven to the newly formed city of Waterdeep by rumours of it’s formation, impressed by what she saw, she offered her assistance in the great building processes that would take place years down the line, as she served under the First Lord.

Leaving as the Guild wars broke out, she carried with her the secret of the Lords of Waterdeep, and hoped one day such tradition would be reinstated. Pursuing new avenues of magic, Xyrsys built quite a name for herself amongst the population of Faerun, seen by many as a Hero through her timely interventions, and great conquests.

Present once more in Waterdeep as the Magisters were established, and the Lords of Waterdeep re-established, her work took on a more settled role. Granted residence and citizenship, she assisted in the formation of the Watchful Order, gaining much respect.

However her ever-taxing research lead Xyrsys down a dark road as age began to creep up on her, leaving the city behind once more in search of dark power, her requests to the elven gods to make her Baelnorn ignored. Her travels took her to the lands of Thay, seeking the secrets of Lichdom.

After unsuccessful attempts of drawing the secrets out of the Thayan necromancers, her attentions drifted once more to the gods. Thrown out of favour by the Seldarine for requesting immortality, simply for the reason of existing, it was in the mysterious god Vecna the information she required was given. Pledging herself to his service once her transformation was complete, Xyrsys emptied her coffers with the expense of creating her Phylactery.

Walking now as a Lich, Xyrsys is on the prowl.

This new character is a replacement for the half-drow Rheilah. :dance: :dance: :dance:

 

Name: Shalena Windsail

Race: Half-elf

Age: 27

Class: Rogue/Swashbuckler

Alignment: Chaotic neutral

Deity: Valkur

Place of Origin: Westgate/Pirate Isles

Appearance: Mid-back dark red hair braided to the right side, brown eyes and tanned skin. She stands at 5'9. Her most distinctive feature is the mysterious smile that almost never disappears from her face.

Armor/Clothing: Black leather pants, black leather knee-high boots, crimson chemise style shirt with elbow-length sleeves and long dark red coat. Unlike many other pirates Shalena doesn't wear a lot of jewelry. The golden belt buckle, simple earrings and a small golden compass she wears as an amulet are the only jewelry she wears.

Weapon: She carries a cutlass named Throatcutter, one hand crossbow called Sparrow and a set of throwing knives.

Personality: Shalena is proud, greedy and adventurous. She has no love for laws and justice and hates being told to do something. Whenever someone orders her to act one way or another she will do the exact opposite. She loves shiny objects and will steal anything shiny that isn't nailed down. The only thing she loves more than shiny objects is the sea.

History: Shalena was an orphan who spent her childhood years in the streets of Westgate. Just like many other orphans she resorted to thievery to survive. Even though she had no place to call home and no family to care for her, Shalena was oddly happy with her life.

When she was twelve years old she was caught while attempting to pickpocket and infamous and a cruel pirate, Galar the Sea Terror but instead of cutting her hands off, the pirate took the girl with himself, taught her how to fight and many other useful things. When Shalena turned twenty two the pirate captain took her for a wife. She hated this... arrangement and eventually the half-elf convinced the crew to mutiny and used the uproar to kill the fearsome pirate. When Galar was removed she became the captain of the ship.
