| 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.

| Deriva-L Full Name: Deriva
Age: 33
Class(es): Wizard
Race: Human
Subrace: -NA-
Alignment: CN
Deity: Branderback
Bio:
Appearance:
Deriva is very tall and strong. Although she is hard featured she is good looking in a dark sinister way.
Her hair is black with a few strands of silver at her temples and her eyes are ice blue.
Personality:
Like most good villians, Deriva is rutheless and merciless. However, she does have a few redeaming qualities.
She takes care of her own, always follows through with what she says (which can also be bad), has a dry
sarcastic sense of humor, and rarely looses her temper. Instead she calmy plans how to trick and deceive
anyone who betrays her.
Deriva has always been a bit of an individual. She has never really understood why society demands
conformity in order to progress. Deriva is one that marches to the beat of her own drum,
not caring what the world thinks of her. She knows what she wants out of life, and doesn’t feel restricted
by the normal standards in order to accomplish those goals. She doesn’t believe much in wrong or right,
and understands that what most people consider ethical usually doesn’t get you what you want.
She feels that chaos leads to enlightenment, and believes it is the easiest way to true happiness. Not that
she really believes she will experience "True happiness" in any way soon
Background:
Deriva gew up in a rich but very troubled household. Her father was a cruel ugly mage, with extremely limited power,
who tricked her mother into marriage. Consequently her mother hated him. Although her mother did not
hold the same loathing for their daughter, she did not love her despite all Deriva's attempts to win it.
Her mother died when she turned ten during a stillbirth.
Shortly after Deriva was sent to school. While there she quickly learned that her rank, money, and looks
could get her whatever she wanted. With no one to turn her towards the right path she quickly followed in
the footsteps of her father, who had also passed away.
Her mood grew darker, and what little love and trust she had in other people was lost when her
betrothed abandoned her at the alter. Although she had not loved him, she held him in affection and was
devestated by the blow to her pride and her willingnes to try and love others. She tracked him down and
called the woman he had run away with out. She was so mad she almost killed the poor youg girl who her
bethroded had run of with.
Deriva never thought she'd have such regrets after hurting that poor girl, and it is really tugging at her, making
her mad with frustration. She is strong, and not supposed to have these feeligs of regret she tells herself over and over.
Deriva is now sick and tired of the city of Rodez in Roldem and has set her mind on leaving that place behind,
to start all over and explore Mistone, preferrably alone, but she will also accept company, especially during
her first time on Mistone when the continent is foreign and her need of information is great.

| RE: Deriva Ok, added another paragraph under her personality.
I find it hard to write more without making it sound like she is
completely evil.. hehe... so if you wont approve her as CN, maybe well make
her TN in the start with no deity, and then I can apply for a CDQ later and turn
her towards Branderback and CN .. | | |
