Short Template as requested by Staff:
Template For Character Creation Reward:
First Name: Eldebryn
Last Name: Rilynghym (meaning House of the Forgotten Ways in drowish)
Appearance:
Race: Drow
Age: about 287
Height: about 5'7"
Weight: 140 lb
Eyes: mostly red with a a faint hint of violet/purple
Hair: Long white hair, always tidy and caught in a ponytail
Facial Hair Style: The only facial hair he is are his sideburns, ending about where his ears do.
Personality Profile:
General Health: Pretty average, in the past went through many hardships and used to spent lots of time indoors, nowadays he has gotten used to it and has a little more physical endurance than he used to.
Deity: Mystra, the Lady of Mysteries, is the only deity he could ever please and respect.
Initial Alignment: Lawful Neutral, mostly because of his family and the disgust some Chaotic Evil drow brought to him.
Profession: Wizard and scholar of the School of Mages. Also known to provide/trade rare items and magical objects, after studying them extensively, with the merchants of Sshamath. Occasionally they are his own creations as other than a good haggler he is a fine enchanter and crafter. (the later with the physical help of conjured servants)
Base Class & Proposed Development: Wizard and ASoC
Habits/Hobbies: always says a small prayer to Mystra before he sleeps, when no-one is looking, also likes experimenting with alchemy and properties of ores and other elements, but his greatest hobby is reading and learning the lore and languages of distant places, not to mention spells and magic.
Languages: Common+Undercommon, Elven, Drowish, Orc, Gnome, Goblin, Draconic, Celestial, Abyssal, Sylvan. Being highly intelligent and often close to academic facilities, learning languages is one of his habits, some of them to help him read ancient scrolls and communicate with extraplanar beings.
Weapon of Choice: A staff is easy to use and defend himself with, while helping him walk when needed. He is known to have used crossbows in the past, while he has a great admiration for long swords, often praising some as works of art.
Background: His family had a long lineage and taught him of how dishonourable the ways of most drow were, how they betrayed everyone years ago and sinked to darkness and chaos. No matter what he did, he should never forget his principles, for whether you kill a foe or save an ally you must always stay true to your path. Maintain discipline and keep your word. Living in Menzoberanzzan, and bowing to the Spider Queen was hard, and he lived absorbed by his love of the Art for years, until his heart and his House were betrayed alike by House Alaundril, because of his zeal and hard work that threatened them. Family dead, except for a sister he never saw again and forced to servitude for a century, he managed to escape when denied of his freedom after so long. Sshamath was his future, and even though his mind was mysteriously clouded for months, he had to undergo his training again and now is as powerful as ever, aiming for more.
Goals: Wants to gain prestige in the School of Mages and the Conclave, this city is all he could wish for. He often thinks about setting out to search for his lost sister or avenge the deaths of all he cared for, yet hesitates... Maybe he is not strong enough yet... He needs more power. Knowledge, though, is the prelude to power, and he is wise enough to seek that as well.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Zapheria is the sister he never saw after the Alaundril invasion, Verna is one their daughters and the one that betrayed him, along with Brezzit, her brother and weapons master that watched over him all those years. Many of the wounds from whips on Eldebryn's back, that no one knows about in Sshamath, are there thanks to him. Ardul Alaundril was their archmage brother whose jealousy brought this deceit.
Eldebryn rarely loses his temper, favouring calmness and mental focus. He would do almost everything in order to succeed on his task, as it is a matter of honour to him. His would also put great effort for the benefit of Sshamath, the School and, especially, himself.
