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.

Default Justain Leonar

Sorry, this is my frst character post so tell me if I am doing this wrong. I have no access to the Campaine Handbook for reasons unknown, so I can not write a childhood history...

Name: Justain Leonar
Class(es): Paladin (Toran)
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Diety: Toran
Age: 20
Short Description/Bio:
Justain bears a chain with an anke around his neck. This is the symbol of Toran, his patron diety. He believes in justice and feedom as all worshippers of Toran do. He is quite charasmatic in that he is very persuasive, physically attractive, and a desent leader. He is of average intelect, though he is bit wiser than most. He is strong and well built, but clumsy at times. He is one of the kindest men you may meet, especially if you are another paladin. However, if you are of evil algnment, he will look upon you with no mercy in bringing justice to you. He hates those that cause suffering and misery. He is overall a very pleasent character.

(added after GM response)

He became a warrier to Toran's cause mainly because he came from a religeos family, his mother being a cleric to Toran and his father was a paladin, and both were of Toran. He studied at a Temple making him perhaps not more intelegent, but a bit more wise that others.

I will once again add that without acsess to a handbook of some sort it is difficult for me to write a recent history (back to his childhood) because all I have access to are the maps and the timeline. which mosttly speaks about recent hostility with the gods and bloodpools ( I have no idea what these are ).

Can you please expand this to show the relationship he has with Toran and why that is so. Thanks!

Default RE: Justain Leonar

Yes this makes it so much easier to make characters, thanks so much! This is my characters new form:

Name:Justain Leonar
Gender:Male
Race:Human (Aasimar) [if I am allowed]
Class(es): Paladin, Champion of Toran after alot of RPing
Alignment: Lawful Good (nessecary for a paladin)
Age: 20
Diety: Toran

Bio/Short Discrition:

Justain bears a chain with an anke around his neck. This is the symbol of Toran, his patron diety. He has the blue eyes and gaze of his mother and the fair skin and platinum blonde hair of his Aasimar father. He is quite wise, charasmatic, and outgoing especially likeing to be around the company of others. He is unsure of what celestial being his ancient anscestor is, but he takes pride in his Aasimar heretage. He is well built and strong, but can be clumsy at times. He is kind to others and tolorant of those with another faith, especially if they are sympathetic toward Toran. He will, however, rarly set foot in any temple other than one of Toran, and even so, only one of good alignment. He would sooner die than enter an evil temple, and would only enter a neutral temple if many other people are shoving him in physically.

He believes and enforces all things in his Paladin Code especially Truth, Honor, and Loyalty. He grew up in Fort Hope with his Human mother and Aasimar father. Fort Hope, being a fort against Undead called forth his highly religeos family, and thus he was born there with a deep hatred for undead and evil. His mother was a cleric to Toran, and his father, as well as his ancestors on his fathers side, was a paladin to Toran. He would rather change evil people that kill them, but still looks on them with little mercy. He however will defend all those around him of good alignment or even neutral. He shares willingly with anyone else who serves Toran and treats them like a sibling.

I hope this one is better than the last...

By the way I have Role Played a paladin in many other servers (which all seem worse than Layonara) and many other people say I am quite good at it. These servers include Narfell and Amia et cetra. So before you ask, yes I am experainced in RPing a paladin.

P.S. Sorry, I dont think its fair to the other games if I voted for Layonara before playing it. Though it seems so deep and give you so many options I dont see how I could possibly not love it. Ill vote for it after I play it for my first time, Thanks only being fair.

Human is fine, paladin is fine with this application.

However if you wish an aasimar you need to make the application longer, showing why such a heritage is essential to him. In general if the race can be either standard or a subrace you can be pretty sure you need to add more detail.

Let me know if you want to go with this as a human paladin, which in that case I will approve you, or an aasimar and work on the submission some more.

He shares willingly with anyone else who serves Toran and treats them like a sibling.

(added from this point)

Justain can be very competetive as well. He offen sees people of equal strength (but of another faith) a rival. He would never harm them unless challenged by them, but he would consitantly train untill *he* is the better fighter or *he* is the wiser. He, however, sees people of equal strength within his faith as an ally, rather than a rival. If givin the chance he will help them in whatever way he can to make them better than their own rivals. Even subcontiously he tries to train harder then his friends if he seess them getting stronger or wiser than himself. He does not try to be better, he just trys it without realising it, such is his nature.

While living in Fort Hope, another child was doing better in school (at the temple) then he was. He tried for weeks to be better, but he only managed to beat him after a large exam. When he provailed he did not cry out "I WIN!" but rather looked to next person who was better then himself and compete with him. Scince his childhood he has been competative even subcontiously.

(about why he needs to be Aasimar)

Justain is trying to learn more about his Aasimar heritage, as he knows little to nothing about it beyond his father. His father did not speak much about it to him, nor did any bards at Fort Hope know about it. It is to him, a sidequest next to fighting and destroying evil. His grandparents died while he was only three or four, making it even harder for him to find out. He, however, would never comprimise his Paladin Code to find more out about his heritage, this in addition makes it even harder.

Dispite the fact the the Code makes it harder to find out about his heritage, hedoes not see his heritage as important as his connection with Toran. He would sooner give up his quest to find out his heritage than bend or break a rule in his Code. He is able to maintain the two quests which occasionally cross. All he has learned is that he may have an Aasimar great-uncle or great-aunt. Weather this information is valid or not he does not know, but it is all he can go by at this time.

phew! does that explain enough? *looks up at his first entry* wow it got a bit better didn't it? XD

Perhaps this could also be put into a CDQ in the future? Just a thought.

Also, in order to enable the subraces abilities is all I have to type is Aasimar or aasimar ?

Approved and thankyou for working with us to get the character where it is now. Its a great step from the initial application.

The server IP is 64.127.106.68 and Layonara can be found under Roleplay on Gamespy.

The server password is layoplayer


You choose human as your race, and type aasimar in subrace field after you click it open. REMEMber subrace skins are applied when you enter the game and are not considered on the creation screen!!! Check the information under subraces-human under the player game information if you want more detail on the subrace field.
