#1 | | | Raziel con Doin Name: Raziel con Doin
Age: 120
Classes: Barbarian / Bearwarrior
Race: Elf
Subrace: Drow
Alingment: Neutral
Deity: Katia
Short Bio:
Raziel was born as the third Daugther of House con Doin. Her fate was it to become a Priestress of Vierdri`ira. Well at least her Mother thought so. In the very beginning of her training she made a mistake, she didnt prayed to Vierdri`ira. she never accepted Vierdri as her goddes, but tried not to show it. Once a Priestress found out, that she isnt praying to her as all the other acolytes. She was imprisoned till she worshiped her, or she will be turned into a drider. Panic overcomes her, a little Chair had to suffer under her rage; she should be turned into a Drider? Serve the Evil Goddes of the Drow. Never she thought and used her beatufull thin body to charm the Guard. He opend the gate and she hits him with a part of the broken Chair. with his WEapon and a smal Ration of food she runs through the underdark, without even knowing where to run to. She rushed into a male Drow Partol, and lied to them, spining a strange story about a missing wand. The Patrol Members believe her and let her pass. Behind the patrol she looked the huge Weapon , a Greatsword, in her Hands and as she feels the weight of it, some old raw instinct floated through her mind. Before she could grab that feeling of raw might, she looses it. There she was running through the underdark, not knowing a way to escape from her own evil race, equiped with a full bag of food and this huge Greatsword.
Days, weeks, months and years passed by. She never stoped running, in her Dreams she stands under the Sun on the surface and there she want to go. The Years passed, her toughness, strengh and ability with the sword raised. Many evil creatures she passed by. FInaly she reaches the surface.
In a cold winter night she crawls out of the Deep. Standing there asouned about the Stars and the Moon. Till the sunlight shines into her Eyes. It was a shoking expierience for her, she felt down to the hard cold ground and was unconcious.
She feels she where carried away, but was to week to do something against it.
She awakes in a smal Hut, a Female Human looking into her Eyes. It was a Barbarian Tribe of the North. With Years passing by, she learns the common Language from the Humans, and learned how to control the inner Might she carries. She loved the Nature and geets into deeper touch with Katia, she was accepted in this World, surrounded by Friends.
One Day the Tribe Leader told her that she was fully accepted to the tribe and if she wants to, she can become a Swordmaiden of the Tribe. She accepted the duty, trained as hard as she could till the Tribe sents her out into this World to seek her desteny. | | | |

| RE: Raziel con Doin okay.. Let me start off by asking to please only submit a character for Classes and such that exist on Layonara at the time of submission.
We do not have a Champion of Katia. As new classes and PrC's are created they are announced and then put in the Player Info so everyone can read them.
Also another GM that is a specialist of the Drow has expressed to me a desire to comment about a few things in your post and I have allowed him to do so.
Please correct your submission and resubit if you choose to do so.

| RE: Raziel con Doin Here are some comments on the Dark Elf side: It is not custom to sacrifice Dark Elf daughters to Vierdri'ira, else it would have been listed in the Vierdri'ira description, which can be found here: http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums...d=5030&posts=1
Also, may I suggest you read the Dark Elf society there is on Layonara, it is not matriarchal as in the Forgotten Realms setting, so a female demanding a male patrol to hand over supplies should not expect them to be given over. You can read Dark Elf society here: http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums...d=2907&posts=1

#4 | | | RE: Raziel con Doin Well i ll rework it then.
But i am 100% sure there is a PRC in Layonara which shapechanged into a Bear. Maybe Bearwarrior isnt the correct term. I ve read about it here in the Forums, under the added PRCs like unholy Champion of .... or Champion of Toran.
I ll Cut the CoT Class out of her.
Here the Link to a aproved Bear warrior: http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums...d=4816&posts=2 | | | |

| RE: Raziel con Doin Yeah I just looked too. Sorry for my error. But we do not have a Champion of Katia at this time and I am not sure when/if we are ever going to have one.
Please reword the bio a bit and then I will look at it again

| RE: Raziel con Doin Some pointers 
Somewhat before a Dark Elf reaches adulthood (which is around 120) they undergo the Test. This is a Test o prove they are loyal to the Dark Elf goddess Vierdri'ira (in case of females) or Baraeon Ca'Duz (in case of males). If they fail they're either killed or turned into a drider. So, if it turned out that while she was an acolyte she didn't really worship, she would need to undergo the Test, not get sacrificed.
Vierdri'ira and Baraeon Ca'Duz are equally powerful (although both of them think he/she is stronger than the other). This is reflected in the Dark Elves,Âmen and women in Dark Elf society are also equal (although the women think they're better than men, and the men think they're better than women). So, if she tells a male dark elf patrol that she is on a mission for the Goddess they are not going to help her.
Hope this helps! | | |

#10 | | | RE: Raziel con Doin Update :
Right after she left the Tribe, she comes to a smal hideout in the snow white Forest. Something drives her in, she dont know why she wents straight into the hideout. Suddely she felt down a deep deep hole, she was shock frozen, no way to escape, no way to stop this fall. She felt into a endless hole it seems, till a goddes gladly raises her Hand over her and she felt unconciousnes.
She dont know what happend, but she found herself standing before a Huge green Dragon. The Dragon speaks to her, talking about strange things in this planar sphere. She asked herself, am i no longer on Layonara? "Oh well little Drow, you are still on Layonara but not more on the Barbarian Island." "Go out see this world and do the Task" She was willing to do the task for the Dragon.
The Firt Vilage she found is called Hilt, right in before the Village a Orc encampment appears. She sneaks into it an stole a Bronze Helmet from a sleeping Orc. Now she could travel save into the Village.
Many Quest has been solved, many Friends have been found there, but she never raises her Helmet, afraid their Friends could turn away from her. Then she meets Halson and his companion Jaw. They traveld a long time together, he sweared by Katia he wont tell her secret and so she raises her Helmet. They ventured together through the Land and saw the Katias work. Whenever she travel through the forest she loves the wonders of Katia. She begins to pray to Katia for Harmony and times when she can run through the lands as the Drow she truly is. After a while she prays every morning to Katia and gets a strong relationship to the goddes.
One day as she travels with Halson .......
// Sidenotes
I want to change Raziel just a bit in Form of Multiclassing with a Cleric.
Just requested a CDQ which should harden her band to Katia and let her become a loyal follower of her. i will continue the Story right after I finished the CDQ, i want to leave it a bit open to the GM and adapt the quest right into Raziels Background.
In Adittion to the given classes she will change like this:
Barbarian14/Bearwarrior10/Cleric16
Allignment: Neutral
Domains: Water / Animal
Deity: Katia | | | |

| RE: Raziel con Doin I want to reiterate something here. Once you reach 20th level you need to start doing the epic CDQ's (ECDQ's). 20th, 24th, 29th, 34th, and 38th are the levels that you must have completed the ECDQ before you can level again.
This character is fine, just remember those rules. | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
