Height: 4'2"


Weight: 320 pounds (mostly muscle)


Hair: Black with streaks of steele grey.


Eyes: Granite brown


Skin: Fair


Handedness: Right handed


Scars/Tattoos: Numerous scars, runic tattoos along his body to channel the earth magic through his body. Scar over his left eye.


General physical description:


Voice: Gravelly, akin to rocks rubbing together.



Clothing/Armor: He wears segments of stone over his chest and shoulders aswell as on his shins and forearms, his bracers have sharp stone spikes and his left hand has a stone cestus and a knuckleduster with three large spikes protruding from it that are attached to the fingerless glove he wears. He has a cloak made of Stone Drake hide and scales that protect his head with a hood and drapes over his right arm. He is known for walking without shoes so his feet can touch the bare ground.



Weapons: Haelga, an ancestral Urgrosh that is fused with the spirit of the founder of his Clan, Haelga Stoneaxe, the axe itself is made of a stone that is as hard as adamantine but isn't. It has a large broad axe head on one end with a long curved pick on the opposing side and a spear point that lets him thrust with it, on the reverse end is a morning star like club end with a long spike coming from the top of it. In the axe head around the shaft is a hand hold to let him grip it for tighter swings and better control. He also carries a large broad knife in a sheath strapped to his chest. Along with his axe Kellak utilizes his Stonelord spell-like abilities to pull rocks from the earth and shape them into various weapons or hurl them with his Earth-Magic enhanced strength with great force. He fights with a self-taught style mixing his strikes with axe swings, punches and calling forth rocks to hurl at his opponents.


PERSONALITY:


General personality traits: Kellak prefers to keep to himself, he engages in conversation well enough but often eats and sits a lone but within the general area of his party if at inns or at rest. He carries his own weight, foraging for his own food and making sure Terra is fed to her satisfaction before eating himself, he is not opposed to conversation if brought to him but he does not go looking for it unless he has reason. Stoutly loyal to people he trusts (which is hard earned) and has an intense dislike of Drow and Duergar.


Likes: A good scrap, exquisite pipe weed, dwarven ale and good novels. Enjoys studying dwarven ruins. Collects rare gems and stones and enjoys carving luck runes into them to leave for travelers.


Dislikes: Drow, Duergar, Liars and Injustice.


Fears: Imprisonment and Illithids.


Attitudes towards friends/strangers: Kellak doesn't shirk strangers unless they are Drow or Duergar and will engage in conversation if it is brought to him. With friends he treats them with respect and will readily put his life on the line to protect and defend them nor will he do anything to intentionally do anything to harm them or anger them.


Opinion of the world: "When the ancient dwarves were forged, Moradin crafted them a world of earth and rock... he planted them deep underground to tend to the heart of his magnificent creations and he gave select dwarves the power to meld and mend the earth, to break the bones of Moradins enemies and build great cities with it. When humans and elves and dwarves are long gone... the earth will still exist."


HISTORY:


Past: Kellak was born in Glan-Girn, also known as the Lost Mountain Hall. The ancestral home of the Stoneaxe clan. He was the second son of Hromdir Stoneaxe at the time of the Stoneaxe's war with the Drow and their Duergar allies that resided deep under their hall on the mountain face. He was a young lad, five years from his initiation into the militia and worked as a stonemasons apprentice and miner until one night a great earthquake rocked the Lost Mountain which destroyed the hall carved into the side of the mountain. The surviving dwarves fled into the Underdark where a party of Duergar and Drow had been waiting for them, the entire clan was captured and taken deep into the earth.


Kellak was forced to mine the tunnels for jewels and expansions for the Drow during the day and fight in the pits against other captives by the Drow at night for the pleasure of his masters. Kellak watched as his clan was slowly whittled away in brutal conditions and inglorious ends. When one day while he worked alone on his tunnel his guard fell asleep and Kellak buried his pickaxe into the Duergar's skull. He unshackled himself and fled with pickaxe in hand, losing his pursuers in the network of tunnels and caverns that had been dug but unpopulated.


After several days of fleeing his would-be captors had caught up to him. They were chasing him down a long forgotten tunnel that broke out into an ancient underground ruin littered with tall gem formations that went on as far as one could see and formed a maze. Kellak, out of options and with Stone Drakes and Drow Spider-Riders on his tail dove into the maze. There he met an Elder Earth Elemental named Ragnorrakh, the ancient elemental saw the emaciated and injured dwarf and took pity on him, he crushed the pursuers in a fit that nearly leveled half the gem-maze surrounding them and sealed off the Drow tunnel forever. Ragnorrakh used it's extensive knowledge of earth magic to heal Kellak and began to teach the young dwarf the ancient ways of the Stonelords, the art that it's creator and master once taught many in his time. After nearly fifty years living under ground Kellak emerged from the ruins of his ancestral mountain home with Haelga and a set of armor recovered from deep inside it's extensive armory.


Now free and alone Kellak took to wandering, taking mercenary contracts and looking for a purpose in the wider world. For fifteen years he wandered until word drifts to him from a innkeep that a Chosen Of Kelemvor had been spotted nearby.


Birthplace: Glan-Girn


Family/Relationships: Entire clan deceased, Terra a Dire Badger he uses as a mount and Odyn, a raven companion that he once saved and has never left his side.


Friends: None but his animal companions.


Enemies: Drow, Duergar.

As of now all of my current characters are considered to have never existed. Dri, having been originally created by Grue, is under his control now.

 

Now I can't be forced to post until I have a character because as of now, I don't have any characters, which as far as practicality goes means I'm not technically IN the RP, and won't be in an hour and a half when the 15th comes around.

Well we weren't going to assume you were back in unless you made a post saying otherwise, so it wouldn't make much sense for us to start asking you to post if we didn't know if you would re-join or not.

Name: Mumei Kaji (first name: Kaji); commonly called Kaji-kun


GENERAL INFORMATION:


Gender: Male


Race: Human (subrace: elemental, fire)


Age: 22


Class: Wu Jen/ Elemental Savant


Alignment: Chaotic Good


Deity: N/A; spirits of fire


APPEARANCE:


Height: 5'9"


Weight: 140 lbs


Hair: Short, messy red hair


Eyes: irises the color and intensity of bright embers


Skin: Fair


Handedness: Right


Scars/Tattoos: Kaji has a tatoo of a burning heart on the palms of his hands.


General physical description:

Kaji is smaller than the average male human (something that he dislikes being pointed out). He has a mostly-plain, smallish face, with slight, high cheekbones suggesting of a noble birth, and a small nose. Small laugh lines are visible, hinting at a light spirit, yet he also at times possesses an angry countenance when irritatedor provoked (which occurs more often then not), and this is only enhanced by his slight, narrowed eyes. His angry expression is further bolstered by the burning ember-like irises he has due to his prolonged association with fire elementals. His master believed in training physically in addition to mentally, so Kaji has a wiry dexterity as well.


Voice:

Kaji, when he is calm, has an excitable, humorous tone to his baritone voice, and at times shows his prideful self, which is especially noticable when it raises in pitch during bouts of boasting or bravado. When angry, though, it takes on a more gutteral, almost growling and feral tone.


Disabilities:

Due to the nature and source of his arcane power, Kaji must follow certain taboos, or else be stripped of his spellpower for the day. In Kaji's case, he must wait for others to introduce themselves to him first before he can speak, and must refer to himself as an inferior and others as superior. He also cannot swim (due to a bad experience from a dare to swim in a river).


EQUIPMENT:


Clothing/Armor:

Kaji wears a sleeveless tunic and leggings deep-red in color, with a burning heart insignia emblazened on the front. These clothes have been enchanted slightly to help provide a small amount of protection. However, Kaji relies more on a set of enchanted bracers and his spells to protect him in melee.


Weapons:

Kaji has a quarter-staff enchanted with fire for use in close-quarters. Due to his elemental knowledge and nature, he can also use his own fists to burn and punch his foes. Othewise, Kaji uses his spells for combat.


Other magical equipment:

Aside from his spell component pouch, Kaji does not possess much else in the way of materials besides some blank scrolls.


PERSONALITY:


Positive personality traits: Kaji is very, very fun-loving and friendly (when he isn't getting into fights, that is), and can be accepting of strangers. Optimistic and brave, the wu jen would wade into any fight with confidence and no second thoughts. Since he has rarely made friends, though (his fiery personality, abilities, and background putting people off), he understands the value of friendship and longs for it, and so is extremely loyal to those who befriend him.


Negative personality traits: If Kaji had a weakness, it would be his pride. Proud to the point of irritating, many of the fights he has gotten into could have been avoided if he didn't boast too much or take offense at the smallest slight against his honor. Also, he can get rather angry easily at times, and is provoked easily. His combative nature and stubbornness does not help, either.


Likes: FIRE! Pranks (except when he is the recipient), friends, adventure, good fights


Dislikes: Disloyalty, people who act superior to others, insults to his ability


Fears: Water (can't swim)


Attitude towards friends/strangers: He loves his friends, though can be a little competitive at times. Strangers he treats cordially, though his combative-self is far less controlled.


Opinion on the world: "Let's go see it!"


HISTORY:


Birthplace: Kara-tur wilds


Family/Relationships: Kaji considers his sensei to be almost like a father to him.


Friends: Hi-chan, his fire elemental familiar


Enemies: N/A; anyone who threatens his friends.


Background:

It was uncertain when exactly Kaji was born, having been left at the entryway of a poor village on the western borders of Kara-tur and left with only the word "Kaji" written on a simple sheet of paper, thus he was named, and given the surname of "Mumei," or "Nameless."


From an early age, it was clear that Kaji had a penchant for getting into trouble, and on more than one occasion had to do extra duties as punishment for all the pranks and fights he would pull as a juvenile. This was largely due to the fact that the villagers would sometimes look upon him with pity or contempt for his unknown background, something which he despised and acted out against. This social isolation only grew when he showed magical talents, especially when he managed to control and befriend a small fire elemental that had gone rampant in the village, something that drove most of the villagers to fear him and not want him in the village. This drove Kaji to despair and fear, and he nearly faced a vigilante mob who wanted to kill him. Luckily, though, the village elder, recognizing the boy's abilities, contacted a fire master wu jen nearby to help Kaji control his power.


The man, who only identified himself as "Sensei," befriended Kaji by explaining his magical power politely (though not before rebuking the boy's foolish behavior harshly), and the boy instantly took a liking to the man, the first to truly treat him with respect. The two soon left the village, traveling across the land to help Kaji learn more of the world.


Now, with much training and experience, Kaji has become a powerful fire mage, somehow managing to unlock some of the secrets of the Plane of Fire, becoming closer akin to that fire elemental he had summoned so long ago, calling it Hi-chan, and has moved on from his sensei, eager to explore the world on his own, and has gone west, coming to a strange land called Faerun...



OTHER INFORMATION:


Languages spoken: Common, Ignan, Draconic, Elven, Dwarven


Pets/Animal companions: His familiar, Hi-chan, a small, shy fire elemental that (often) points out flaws in his logic.
