    The adventures of Eskild Boson
    « on: May 05, 2006, 05:57:54 am »
    Full Name: Eskild Boson
    Age: 490
    Class(es): Ranger, Rogue
    Race: Elf
    Subrace: Gray Elf
    Alignment: Good
    Deity: The Prince of Wolves (Folian S'pae)
    Biography and Description:

    Tall for an elf at 5'5", He manages to "look down" with ease on those much taller than himself. A true "Lone wolf" he is generally unsocial and enjoy's living and fighting alone. He has, however, seen the advantage to be gained through co-operation with lesser allies. He will rush to the assistance of anyone called friend - but to gain his approval is nigh impossible. Standoffish to say the least, yet once he establishes a friendship it is eternal.

    Born in the peaks of Voltrex his past is shrouded in the mist of the mountains. It is known that at a young age he looked to the sea and was taken with a desire to wander. At 120, he went abroad in search of adventure and a desire to see the world and has been questing for justice ever since.

    Appearance:
    Although quite weathered and "tanned," his skin seems is silverish rather than bronze giving him an almost ghostly appearance. His right eye is missing from a brutal battle with a giant when he was young & his remaining yellow eye never seems to blink. He keeps his long snow white hair hanging loose, often using it to hide his missing eye like a veil. His light armour is hidden under robes of grey that seem to disapper in almost any terain.

    Fighting:
    Prefering to outsmart, rather than resort to open combat Although willing to use the blade, he generally prefers sniping and traps. He does not believe in "fair fights," and is quoted as saying that the only fair fight is a fight that is won.

    Good start. Please keep in mind we have a rule that all classes must have at least 5 levels by the time the character reaches level 20.

    Please give a few paragraphs of why the character is a Gray Elf instead of a normal elf, life, living environments, beliefs, family etc.

    Good is not an alignment, it should be CG, NG, or LG if you want to be 'good'.

      Class(es): Ranger 14, Rogue 6
      Alignment: NG

      Ammended Biography:

      Shortly after first leaving the peaks of Voltrex, Eskild sojourned briefly in the Forest of Mists before heading back to the peaks, and breathing the thin air of the Spine Mountains. While in the forest, he converted to the following of the Prince of Wolves but had no clerical aspirations.

      Although most at home in the bright sunlight of snowcapped  mountains, he fares well in most harsh environments including dry plains and dark forests. Farmlands seem decadent and swamps stiffle his lungs.

      Aloof with other travelers, his most trusted companions are the birds of the air. Ravens regularly provide him with intelligence reports, allowing him to avoid or fight on his own terms. Falcons, and occasionally hawks, will join him in limited battles.

      Requested ears:
      Language of birds

      Family History:

      Eskild's father is a knight of Voltrex and a master griffon rider. His two much younger brothers are following in their father's footsteps and have remained cloistered in the peaks of Voltrex, training as griffon squires and tending several rookeries and aeries in the peaks.

      Eskild has periodically returned to join his family and clansmen in battles with dark elves and giants and is skilled at riding both griffons and hippogryphs.

        A page from the journal of Eskild:

        02/19/1400 - Arrived in Hlint. Look forward to slaying goblins.

        3/17-18/1400 - Nearly overpowered by the rats in the sewer - healed by James Hearth. Joined with James & later with Tegan to hunt skeletons in the crypts.

        3/23/1400 - Met Tegan again and joined her and others, Jin Lun Lee and Remiel Delmir in killing trolls in the swamp...

        4/23/1400 - Finished collecting goblin ears for Talon the Quartermaster.
        While killing goblins for sport, met Erug - a simple yet strong Ogre.
        Joined forces with Erug, Ari Mooncrow & others to retrieve Dalton's Wil o' Wisp and to roam the country side looking for goblin heads to "lopsies."
