| Character Approvals The characters on this board have been approved by a GM and may be played online, in the world. | | Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums.

| New Character Submission -Just posting a request for a new character to be approved.
-I was also going to request that he be granted a celestial ear, but I’m not too sure how that works, whether I have to have done a lot of RP for both new characters and existing ones to be granted, or just for existing ones. I thought I’d include a paragraph at the bottom detailing how he would know the language just incase he can have an ear, although I know it isn’t likely as I’m new to the server. I realize that if it was granted I’d have to RP it as though he does not know much of the language and would only be able to speak very basic sentences.
-Also, not sure if I’m meant to post the starting stats, but they’ll be something like this:
STR: 10
DEX: 14
CON: 12
INT: 14
WIS: 16
CHA: 10
Name: Amnas Telemnar
Gender: Male
Age: 193
Class: Monk (planning on keeping it monk, may change later on though)
Race: Elf (no subrace)
Alignment: Lawful Good
Amnas looks about 6’8” and looks as though he weighs between 170-210 lbs. He has tanned skin, most likely from the amount of time he spends in the open. He has long flowing hair, seemingly black, but when the sun catches it, it looks almost blue, and hazel eyes. He is slim, and does not seem to have much physical strength, but moves with considerably more grace than most elves.
Amnas’ mother was a commoner and his father devout follower of Aeridin, so he grew up learning the teaching of Aeridin, his father hoping he would too become a devoted servant of the Lifegiver. Amnas believed in full almost all the teachings of Aeridin, and had his heart set on becoming one of his followers, until he realized that whilst the teachings of Aeridin were great, so must be the teachings of the other deities. So, against the will of both his father and mother, he set out on a journey, not having a particular path, but always seeking the teachings of other deities, as well as others.
He does not follow any particular gods, and is instead guided by his own morals, but having traveled an extremely long time, visiting many of the churches of the other gods, as well as visiting vast libraries containing information on them, and whilst he still believes in the teachings of Aeridin, the teachings of Rofirein and Toran also play a significant part in his life. He has learnt of the many dangers both in his travels, and through his studies, and so now begins his combat training, choosing to train unarmed so that he does not need to lug armor or weapons around with him.
-Celestial Language Ear:
Whilst on his quest for higher learning, he happened to chance upon the remnants of a manuscript containing teachings written in a celestial language, and through years of studying the few pages, has picked up the meaning of some of the basic words and phrases found within it. | | |

| Re: New Character Submission Oh, and just to clarify, where it says 'is instead guided by his own morals', his morals are those of a typical lawful good aligned character  | | |

| Re: New Character Submission [approve]
As to the ear just understanding a few words and studying via text and not with others and such is not good enough to be given an ear. However, it is a jump start on receiving one if RP in game and keep a character development thread--about 1 month RL of heavy RP with others that speak the language and a development thread will get you the ear. Just request in this thread when you are ready, remember you must have at least a 12 int to get that other ear. | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
