Physical description: Height: 5'6"
Weight: 145 lbs
Very well toned.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: White
Skin: Ebony

Konravian is a an average sized drow with a very toned build. He's average in appearance and stands out because of his ocean blue eyes. He wears a Tricorn hat, and very expensive looking pirate attire. If you look close enough at the edges of the top of the Tricorn hat you can see small emblems of Bregan D'aerteh flame emblazed on the hat. Hanging around his neck he has 2 pendants. One is an pendant from Que'llar Drekk, the other is from Bregan D'aerthe. He hides these emblems during his trips to not-so-drow-welcoming-surface-areas. (Such as when he goes to Baldur's Gate, (Wink). On his side he has two Scimitars of high magical quality, with the ability to shift between scimitars and battle hammers. (I just rp this because I thought it would be a cool idea. I just weapon swap. :-P I can remove it if DM would like.) On the scimitaras are engravings in what appears to be the drow language as well as magical runes. The engravings in the drow language are "Jiv'undus, and Zakath" pain and agony in the common tongue. Upon closer inspection of the Pirate Garb you will notice that there are emblems for ranks held in the first alhoon war. It appears as if they may have been added sometime after the war, as if he wanted to keep them as a simple reminder of it. He has a cut above his left eyebrow. If you look closely enough at his packs you will see various dragon parts collected as trophies. (Green Dragon, White Dragon, Black Dragon.) He also carries a small pipe made of what appears to be dragon bone. Down the pipe are pirate ships intricately carved down the sides of it. He's often seen puffing on this pipe, and drinking from the canteen he carries on his side. He will only state that it's a brew he makes himself, but it does seem to have healing properties. Anytime you see this drow. He's likely puffing on his pipe, or eating some sort of food. He's always eating something.

Psychological description: Konravian is an opportunist in many ways. He's often mild tempered because of this, and his dark history. He doesn't seek conflict, but is okay with it should it occur. (Ain't no problem unless you got a problem. Then it's no problem. - 50 Cent) He loves coin and often makes it the subject of his adventures and misadventures. He's almost always neutral or cheerful unless he's angry. Then he gets in touch with the dark side of his past. Konravian is able to get along with most, if not all other races as part of his personality. He likes to learn if he hates someone on an individual basis instead of a stereotypical one. He has a deep love for both the surface and the underdark, and wishes that both could come together on some sort of understanding for the mutual benefit of everyone. He's often torn in how to approach certain situations as a bi-product of his vast experiences. He has to think things through very carefully before he decides to act. He's a methodical drow, he pays attention to every detail and plans every move he's going to make ahead of time. He has a strong dislike for most female drow as the torture he was put through from his mother and three sisters when he was growing up before they were all killed. As a follower of Vhaeraun and having to personally assassinate jalil, he has no belief held that they have anything above him, nor do they deserve such a status. Konravian Dislikes Self-entitlement, arrogance, and anyone who thinks they are above him in any way. His habits are smoking his pipe, drinking, and eating. He loves eating.

Religious views: Konravian over time has shifted from the beliefs of Lolth and found himself aligning more with Vhaeraun. He looks to Vhaeraun, though does not always agree with all of Vhaeraun's beliefs either. He settled here, because he thought it would be the closest thing he could find to what he was resonating with through his adventures. He does believe male and female should be on equal ground, but he also believes that drow need to learn to evolve and start working towards getting their race back towards the surface, not permanently, but he believes it would be beneficial for everyone to work together so that all may gain from it.


Pact: Not Available

History He was born into the Drow city of menzoberranzan. He lived in his family drow house with his mother, father, three sisters, and eight brothers. He was trained in the ways of the assassin until one night the family house of house Drekk was attacked by another drow house. During the conflict his father, Kreigis Drekk felt threatened by Konravian in his position as weapon master. He decided to kill Konravian during the conflict so his position would no longer be challenged. Konravian's mother, Magda Drekk happened upon the two and thinking Konravian had insighted the battle joined in trying to kill him. Konravian being talented in battle was able to defeat and kill both of them single handedly. Meanwhile his brothers Vadrick and Lanthalosa used magic in order to help the family escape. Sadly the three sisters were slain during their battle with the other drow house. During the escape, one of the brothers slipped and fell down a deep dark tunnel and was presumed dead. The rest escaped successfully to the drow city of Sshamath. Later Konravian and Vadrick would return to Menzoberranzan to accuse the other house, which was utterly destroyed by other houses as per drow law.

From there, Konravian joined the guild Bregan D'aerthe and worked as an assassin and information specialist for many years until he rose through the ranks to become the leader of Bregan D'aerthe. The first alhoon war occurs, and Konravian is instrumental in helping to quell the war. During his time at Bregan he was targetted by a group of assassins to asssinate him. So he went to the surface until he could hunt them all down individually.

There he moved to Luskan and worked for various pashas and other business ventures using the skills he learned at Bregan. He ended up joining a pirate crew. The ship name was "The Nightingale." Eventually, the pirate captain grew to be jealous of the other men's love for Konravian, and felt threatened himself. So he challenged Konravian to single combat, lost and died. Konravian became the new captian of the ship where he sailed many more times. Between his time sailing, and in Luskan, he completely lost his drow accent. He developed a heavy Luskan accent during this time. After killing the assassins that were chasing him, he then returned to the underdark to find Bregan D'aerthe under new leadership, but they happily accepted him back. During his meeting returning to Bregan, he meets his best friend Patch. Though not affiliated with Bregan at the time, they quickly become friends. Now Konravian splits his time evenly between the underdark and the surface, often seen running around with Patch, working with various people/races to spread the work and information network of Bregan D'aerthe as well as his own.

Konravian also made another friend by the name of Gia who eventually became a retainer for house Drekk. There she's free to come and go as she pleases. House Drekk has no slaves, only employees - Konravian. He belives that coin is a better motivator than punishment, and can net better results. As far as he's made it using this method, it would be quite difficult to change his mind. He abhors slavery.

Future As Konravian's parents and three sisters were slain, it now makes him the 1st born of the house according to drow law. He feels a deep responsibility for rebuilding house Drekk. On top of that he still likes to manage his pirate crew and send them on special missions, though they've strayed away from piracy in favor of privateering as it's more profitable, and carries less of a risk. Konravian also wishes to increase the standing of Bregan D'aerthe as well as his house in order to eventually be accepted anywhere on the surface so he no longer has to sneak into Baldur's gate and similair areas. He's currently on a side mission to slay every type of dragon, still feeling rage from the white dragon he had to fight in the first Alhoon war. Once Konravian has acheived these goals, he wishes to spend more time on the surface networking and socializing, and of course... More adventuring! He has no plans to retire anytime soon.


Heirloom item I would like to just RP that his scimitars were trophies from killing his father who used them and they have the ability to shift themselves into warhammers. (I don't care that they actually do or not I use sneak maces and swap them, but as above I thought it was a cool rp idea. I think just the xp would be fine for him.)

Plot hooks Plot hook 1: Konravian missed one of those assassin's sent to kill him and he barely survived. Catches up with Konravian at a later time, and he has to battle them. I think that could turn out interesting if he say recruited some more drow for the hunt, and Konravian is with a party. :-) Drow scary. xD

Plot Hook 2: Kon's parents survived and they have been biding their time building their strength to get their revenge?

Plot Hook 3: A dragon has caught wind that Konravian has been hunting dragons and seeks justice for his kind.

Plot Hook 4: Konravian finds out his brother Su'aco is alive and must find him. (Though they're both my characters not sure how that one would be pulled off lmao.)

Plot Hook 5: Some jalil/jabress got offended at his offensive jaluk/liberal views and has sent Drider to hunt him.

Plot Hook 6: Konravian hears about a rare magical artifact that could greatly benefit him from his pirate crew and has to retrieve it.

(I can add plot hooks all day. Let me know if you guys don't like any of these and I can send more.) xD
