Silinrul Linthuloh

[Darky]

First Name: Silinrul
Last Name: Linthuloh
Preferred Name / Alias: Sil

Appearance: Sil is short even by drow standards. She is moderately attractive and wears light armors.
Race: Drow
Age: 157
Height: 4'7"
Weight: 113 lbs.
Eyes: Originally red, Sil had them magically altered to be purple.
Hair: Long, pure white hair. It is naturally straight, Sil keeps it back in a pony tail so it is manageable under her hood.
Facial Hair Style: Being female, Sil has no facial hair.

Personality Profile: Sil is highly sarcastic most of the time, though she often sounds serious. She is also very suspicious, especially when it comes to sustenance, believing that everything (even her own supplies) are poisoned. The only other noteworthy part of her personality is that she is quite patient with males in comparison to most female drow.
General Health: Good health with no known injuries or disabilities
Deity: Lolth
Initial Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Profession: Silinrul is an archer by trade, though she has some magical abilities, they are in no way as developed as true mages or priestesses.
Base Class & Proposed Development: Sil begins as a bard (her magical proficiency), taking on levels of fighter (martial prowess), shadow dancer (Sil is not an assassin, more an explorer and huntress) and arcane archer (mastery over the bow and using her magic to empower her skills).
Habits/Hobbies: Sil has many hobbies including mapping (she doesn't trust maps drawn by others), drawing, writing, singing (or humming), playing the lute (though she can play almost any instrument) and hunting.
Languages: Sil learned quite quickly that knowing the languages of the lesser races is an important skill - she studied the languages of orcs and goblins. Her explorations have led her into situations where she has been confronted by shadow dragons, forcing her to learn draconic. She can also speak drow, elven, common and sign.
Weapon of Choice: Longbow

Background: Silinrul Linthuloh - drow would recognise her first name immediately as meaning "Hunter/Huntress", her last name is a combination of the words "Linthar" meaning "bard" and "Uuuniloh" meaning "archer".

Sil rarely tells others about her background besides mentioning that she is originally of Menzoberranzan. When asked why she came to Sshamath and the realm below Baldur's Gate, Sil merely replies "to explore". Even when pressed she will not expand, saying that there may or may not be other motives that led her here.

In truth, Silinrul was ambushed while hunting outside of Menzoberranzan, by what she doesn't remember. All she does remember is leaving the city then awaking alone in a small dark cavern. Whoever or whatever had brought her there had departed along with her equipment. Despite being injured, Sil managed to crawl out into a larger tunnel, which she followed for some time. Eventually she heard a drow patrol which she followed, knowing that they would eventually lead her to a drow outpost, perhaps even a city. In the passage she later learned to be called "Varalla's", Sil stopped and cleaned herself up - she may have been a low born in Menzoberranzan, but that didn't mean she should appear as such in this new city.

Upon her first steps within Sshamath, Sil recognised where she was. She had never been here before, but she had seen paintings and images in her books. Sil barely held back a look of disgust as she wandered through the magically lit streets, finding her way to Gloura's Wings, a tavern which seemed to see a great deal of traffic . . .

Goals: Not long after arriving in Sshamath, Silinrul was "introduced" to a priestess of Lolth, who had raised her corpse. The priestess was scathing, warning Sil that only the strong may serve the Spider Queen. She then assigned Sil a task - to prove her worth to the yath and to House Sshamath. Sil pondered the words, unsure as to how to do this, eventually deciding to liberate an idol from the cursed driders. Meanwhile, Valaklith Sshamath, the priestess who had raised Sil, discovered Sil was in fact a bae'qeshal (a female in the service of Lolth who weaves magic through music and song). A second task was given to Sil: to write music in tribute to the Queen of spiders.
Sil doesn't appear to have any goals of her own, just those that are given to her. However, she seems to be more interested in the sellswords than the nobility of Sshamath. She also seeks to learn who she was prior to coming to Sshamath.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Her loss of memory is a source of frustration to Silinrul - she seeks to discover what caused her to leave Menzoberranzan and eventually bring her to Sshamath ((I do have some ideas for this)). Silinrul was all but naked when she awoke in the tunnels outside of Sshamath, all her inventory having been stolen. Yet she did not enter Sshamath in the same state - she was wearing a low quality leather armor, but she doesn't remember where she got that from either.
