Bio:

At fifteen my father married me off for some silver and a keg of ale. By sixteen I had a daughter. My daughter died from what the local priests called "an uncureable plague". Better put, my husband spent all his silver on a maid to cook and clean... I mean on me... and we didn't have the coin to save my daughter's life. Rather than work, my husband slept with every filthy he could find until one of their husbands cut his throat for it. I wish I could only find the man who killed my husband. I am not sure if I would thank the murderer of my husband today for saving me the life of guilt I might have endured had I killed my husband myself...or thank the man for helping make me who I am today.


"So you ask who I am Drow? My name you say? You may call me Millan. You paid for my drink and I said for a silver I shall tell you why I have no husband, and I did. If you want to know more, then we shall speak first on the matter of the job you have for me. For this is the reason we met in this tavern in the first place."


*With a slight bow*
"I am Daralith. The job? I wouldn't call it a job. As you can see I am new to these parts and know very little of your race, outside of what I been "taught". You spark my curiosity and I am willing to pay for information you have to provide. Information of who you are. I have heard much of your skill with that dagger and even more about how you handle the local males of this community. You remind me of home."

*laughing softly*
"Then you will wish to bed me? I think not Daralith. I do not need your coin that bad. I tell you what. You will pay for this meal, keep my wine glass filled, and if I am still able to tolerate you I will weave you a tail like no other. One of my life with a blade."


*A meal, a few too many drinks, and hours later*
I had not seen my 17th year yet when my husband died. After his death his debt collectors came to collect from me. They burnt my home down, stole my animals, and when they were done with me, the leader of the group threw a dagger at my side and said, "You should do yourself a favor and use that to slit your throat".


"Instead of following his sound advice, I picked the blade up and placed it in my boot. Rather than wait for the coins I swallowed to come out the other end, I made myself sick and washed them off. There was word of a band of mercs recruiting people and willing to train them. They took me in without question. I excelled with this dagger and it wasn't long before I moved on from the mercs. I found myself here in these streets by the age of twenty. What I have done sense then, is none of your business, nor is what I am going to be doing now. I thank you for the potatoes and the wine. Now if you will excuse me..."

Hi there
First off, you need to define you alignment better. Neutral Good, True Neutral or Chaotic Neutral. Bearing in mind CN is restricted and I must be honest from what I read here it sound CN.
Secondly you said you were recruited by mercenaries at the age of 17. Though that is possible it is very unlikely for a group of mercenaries to hire a totally unexperienced fighter as they have to share their coin and would likely rather look for someone experienced. Perhaps elaborate on their reasoning for choosing you.
Thirdly you said you left the mercenaries after approx 3 years. Why did you leave them to go live on the streets. Surely being a mercenary would have been a lucrative lifestyle.
Lastly I would like to know more about what you did for the last 5 years on the street even if you dont tell it to the drow.
Also tell us a bit more about her personality. I could assume a lot of things here, but would prefer you telling us.
Thanks

1.) Sorry about the alignment, I always thought of Neutral as TN. 2.) I didn't go to far into the mercenaries due to not being familar with mercenarie groups in Laynoara. I also did not want to be a pain and attract too much attention from the GMs and simply develop my character along the way in the world of Laynoara. Now if you have mercenarie bands in your world that are willing to work with me, that is wonderful and I would love to get tied in. Other wise I wanted to keep in simple. As far as being recruited by the mercs, I had in mind the mercenaries being a small band trying to make a name for themselves and in need of raw talent willing to learn. Taking on a few here and there for their special qualities. A female willing to learn and do what ever it takes might be of intrest to a small group of thugs/mercinaries. I did not have in mind for these mercinaries to be a well developed strong band who are often hired by the king to save the lands...=) I had more in mind a band of thugs/mercs who were at the bottom of the barrel and trying to make a name for themselves and needing people willing to join them. After all I am coming into the game as a level 1 rogue, not a level 10 =). 3.) This leads to leaving the mercs. They never made a big name for themselves, Millan out grew them and learned all she could. It was simply time to move on. As far as living on the streets, I didn't mean that literally. I meant these streets are her new home. I would presume there is an inn she could be staying in with in the local town. As far as what she has done for the last 5 years. I would really like to have connections with a local rogues guild and go from there. Get in, earn my way and keep. Again for the same reasons I didn't want to bother the GMs with a smiple concept nor try for crazy demongoddaughters ect ect =). I would be willing to lower the age if need be to 20 and I really want to get in game and find a rogues guild =). I wanted to build the character in game off the concept. 4.) Finally the personallity. She is cold, calculating, and unforgiving. She is not hateful, nor is she evil by any sense. Her hard life has made her empathetic, but by no means sympathetic. She sees herself as strong and independent because she survived the trials of her life thus far. Because of this she would never do a "good deed" to help someone. She feels it would only weaken the person she would be helping in the end. That is why her allignment lies towards true neutral. She wants to strike a name for herself and make it on her own. Charity, hand outs, and sympathy for her being a woman are not tollerated by her. She died the day the men came and burnt her home. It is a new day and life for her, one she will make on her own. Hope that helps.
