I am here to clean ze pool

Sounds just like Navaryn

On a more serious note, as it is, I'd say Navaryn is rather dark. He embraces death and has a strong sense of loyalty towards his friends and allies. He isn't as ruthless as most other Ur'Guards, but he will not hesitate to resort to violence when necessary (or against obnoxious little braindead moron that yells stupid crap at the Megalith).

Despite their shared origins, he views orcs as something barely worthy to clean his boots. If an orclach got twisted by the Taint and became an orc, it simply means that the orclach was weak of body and spirit and would have eventually gotten himself killed by a stronger being.


I think that's pretty much all.

Since he was mentioned, I might as well give a quick summary of Iblis.

Iblis is an extremely conflicted individual. Having been born in Magnagora as a viscanti, and shipped off to Glomdoring as a human, he feels he has two distinctive sections to his personality: the "nice" or Glomdoring Iblis, who tends to shine through when he is with others (particularly other members of Glomdoring, especially other Ebonguard). And then the "nasty" or Magnagoran Iblis, who is tainted, calculating, distrustful of others and teetering towards insanity. So whether this is true or not, Iblis believes there's a constant manner of psychic battle going on between these two distinctive personalities: this is not helped by the fact Iblis is a changeling*, nor that by the fact his recent change from human to shadowlord faeling has warped his mind slightly. More and more, the Magnagora-born counterpart to his personality is shining through. (*For the record, I haven't bought a cameo yet, but will do as soon as I have the credits.)

As of yet I haven't decided which part of his personality will win out, nor what I'll do when one wins. It might be something as simple as a slight personality alteration to a change of race, organization and guild.

Sounds just like his parents... *smirk*

(Being aware of Iblis' personal storyline to some extent, and having taken an antagonistic role within it, I felt compelled to contribute.)

Additive: Kurt has more than intuited the inner conflict going on within his brother-in-arms, and though he(out of respect and honor) leaves that personal battle to Iblis, does reinforce the "nice" personality (consequentially the one loyal to Glomdoring)with a good show of brotherhood and comradery on occasion. Despite the fact Iblis seperates himself from the deeper ties of the Nightwalker foundations, Kurt remains tactfully persistent.

Well lets see. Airees is one weird character to define. Has been in Celest and Serenwilde and ended up in Magnagora the one hes been fighting for over 10 years. But he is a decent fighter that dose not think he is good reguardless of what others say. He strives to be better then is Idle and Mentor Murphy, but seems to keep falling short. He will do anything to become a better warrior even if that means kill his old friends, or even his brother whom he still is on good terms with even though they are against each other on the battlefield.

Nyla is.... loud... really loud, will say whatever comes to mind and isnt afraid to give his opinion to anyone. Depending on the day he can be a pretentious prick or your best of friend. He regards himself highly because of the whole being brought back from the dead thing and can only see himself in his previous form as a faeling. His 'new body' is constantly trying to force his soul from it and he struggles daily trying to fight it off which slowly eats away at his sanity.

Well..

Selwin is generally quiet and reserved, though not hesitant to fight when he needs to. He has an extreme hatred for orcs, thus he doesn't like Orclachs very well. Currently he's remembering his past and writing about it in his book. He loves his wife and is willing to give up anything to be with her.. he doesn't have many friends, although the friends he has, he respects deeply. Other than orcs, he doesn't hold himself higher than anyone.

Tully was born outside of Magnagora. He lived in a large compound/Inn somewhere between Estellbar and the outskirts of Hallifax. He remembers most of his life after he passed through the portal of fate.

Tully lived with his family. His family clan was formed by dwarves who emigratted from the three missing communities--Ackleberry Forest, Hallifax and Gaudigulch. In that family were three elderly aunts who each brought both guardian lore from their respective colonies, but were also blessed by the fates. Lots of extended family lived there, all dwarves, and they all ran the Inn. It was a wonderful place. Think of the Waltons. This Inn was popular with the local members of Estelbar, as well as the Avenchan pilgrims, and the Dwarves from the surrounding mountains.

Then the ur'Guard came.

Tully doesn't really rmemeber why they came. Perhaps somewhere along the line a Viscanti Noble was insulted who came there. Or perhaps it was just a few guards looking for some fun. But they threatened to take the lot of them to Ankgrag.

Tully made a deal to keep his family safe. He agreed to become an indentured servant to the Great Noble Houses of Magnagora if they let his family leave unmolested. Surprisingly, a Viscanti Noble who accomponied them agreed. So his family emmigrated to some locale beyond the basin of life, the Inn was raized by Magnagora, and Tully moved to his new home.

The Noble Houses weren't sure what to do with Tully at first. Once they tried to press-gang him into the army but he sort of flopped at basic training. They pretty much found out that because he was the Janitor of the Inn he ended up doing a lot of domestic work for the noble houses. The Viscanti Nobles were bemused at the fact that he approached his work with a smile and good attitude, a far cry from the usual miserable peasants (or zombified ones). At one point, as a joke or punishment, they decided to have him do "charity work" by keeping the city clean. He ended up approaching the job seriously and thus got Dubbed Janitor of Magnagora. So basically, when you see him it's either during his "allocated charity hours" (a service contributed by the noble houses), or when he has time off, so he wanders around the basin.

Tully doesn't care for the Mangagoran philosophy, worship, treatment of peasants, etc, but as he's not in a guild (and never gained any skills from one) he has no obligation to any of that. He just tries to keep his nose clean, do his job, and show kindness and compasion to all. Occasionally he gets in trouble such as when he made statues of Arix and Raezila in Magnagora (because they looked good).

He's well educated and has a little bit of a Guru in him, being transcendent in Planar, Low Magic, and Bookbinding, and nearly that level in Arts. As long as he is treated kindly and honorably he wouldn't break his bond. The Magnagorans would have to do something or ask him to compromise his moral principles. Since he's a civilian, that hasn't happened. He has his own "trust fund" via the "credit note" market that one of his uncles setup for him.

Tully's a little philisophical about the Taint. He dislikes what it does to the natural state of things, it being the "blood curse of the damn squiddie", but he also knows no mortal or even god will likely ever purge it. Seeing Estarra for the first time revealed that to him--as she is wrapped in both light and shadow. He also worries what would happen to all the Mangagoran peasants and serfs. Would they be freed? Would they be killed? He server as a debt of honor, and would not break that or betray the Magnagoran trust.

Even if he did leave, where would he go? Celest is a great place but he couldn't really work as a Janitor there--they have a good sanitation department. Plus, the reactions of Celestians and Serenwilder's have saddened him, as he feels people are quick to judge one's citizenship rather than the person, although some have come around. Glomdoring is a bit "loco" to Tully. He would really like to go back to one of his ancestral homes: Ackleberry, Gaudigulch, or Hallifax, but that may be a long time away.

Alright. I've been mulling around on my new alter-ego's background for a while now, so I'm dropping it down here for a test run. Feel free to comment.

Veyda - full name Veyda naGouri Nokov IV - was born in the Southern Mountains, in the keep that is his family's ancestral home. The eldest of three krokani children and several fosterlings of various races, he was expected from an early age to keep himself taken care of and to help his parents take care of 'the little ones'. When he wasn't helping with his siblings, Veyda was generally in the basement library, reading whatever book he could reach. This lead to clashes with his iron-willed grandfather, Chanka, a constant hunter with little taste for scholarly pursuits. To appease said grandfather, Veyda took up the flail, and joined his father in hunting in the Blue Wood, to the west of the keep. This is when he began to learn the skills he would later use as a warrior.
Veyda's martial training, however, really began when he was fourteen. That winter the keep, the Blue Wood, and the valley which the Nokov claimed came under attack by a band of Taurian raiders. Veyda was expected to fight alongside his father and grandfather, and did so. During a final battle with the Taurian leader, Brud Bloodhorn, Chanka sustained a mortal injury. After his father smote down the taurian, Veyda brought his grandfather back to the keep, where he was to take care of him for the next two years, after which the old man died.
Eventually, when he turned twenty-five, Veyda decided that he needed more worldy experiance to round out his education. Inspired by a dream from Mother Night, he arrived in Glomdoring, where he undertook training in the Ebonguard.

Veyda is an ambitious and determined individual with a strong sense of responsibility. From caring for his siblings, his grandfather, and working with the valley's peasants during the Taurian incursion, he has developed an aptitude and an inclination for care and education, which he is trying to carry on by joining the House of the Tree. His main motivation, other than that, is a unquenchable thirst for knowledge - in this, he is a great deal like Raezon, and he hopes to one day join His order. He prefers scholarly pursuits and his artisanry to fighting, but feels that combat is a duty he must fulfill.

Keep in mind this is a rough draft.

It's kleptomania!

And I suppose I can justify my frequent retard-cum-santa claus style excursions by stating he's mentally unstable. Basically, I do whatever seems interesting, until I get irritated, then I do something precipitous (or stupid, somethings they don't really differ).
