The Ten Kingdoms: OOC (Accepting)
by AkiyaMarquis Fri Dec 04, 2009 5:16 pm
1000 years ago
Armies fought against each other, metal clashing against metal. Armor covered the brave knights and villagers that waged war on each other in the names of their kings. The dark kingdom of Ser’ves was in complete control over the three kingdoms; Rien, Hityc, and Ashiusk. This was the down fall of man and thus they were in fear of losing their lands to the evil queen Lyess. Brother fought against brother and kin against kin. War engulfed the land as the dark kingdom got more powerful. Through the hatred and rage the dark queen forged an orb. This orb was called the legendary Demonic Orb. It was known to engulf people in their fears and make them fall under their rage and wage war on each other. A warrior named Koravel had been traveling the lands far and wide, when he got his first encounter with the orb.
Father and son fought against one another. The steed he rode into the town on reared back and he hopped from the beast and looked about the town. It was a small place and he thought it was peaceful, or at least that was what he heard. But this peaceful town was war stricken and chaotic. His hand gripped the broad sword on his hip as he turned with enough time to deflect the attack that a young woman waged on him. He didn’t know what really was going on. A boy the age of 10 was hiding in the shadows. How he survived in this madness was something else. The man walked towards the boy and knelt down. The sounds of bodies falling around him would of made the man uneasy if he wasn’t war stricken already. “Leave this town…” The boy spoke, fear was evident in his voice. “Evil lives in this place…” The man looked at the boy. “Evil?” He asked and the boy’s eyes closed he wouldn’t say anything at that moment. There was a moment of silence that passed the two. “The Demonic Orb is the cause of this madness…”
Ten years before
“The Demonic Orb, had been broken into ten fragments by the brave Lord Koravel Vontae Maernanea. They were scattered to the ends of the Earth to ten different kingdoms.” Her mother spoke; she loved telling the tale of Koravel and the Orb. Nimael loved to hear the history of the world. The woman’s ears twitched as she sat there.
The elf sat there her darkened blond hair fell into her blue eyes as she sighed softly. “Mother do you think that Queen Lyess would be brought back to life if someone were to find all ten fragments?” She question the girl thirsted for knowledge and she smiled gently. This child was different than the others in her community. She loved her garden and never thought of adventuring to far from home; though that would change when she hit her adult hood. She helped her mother with anything that she needed. Yet she knew something was missing.
Two months before
Her birthday hit and she was moving into adulthood. The elf looked at the present that her father gave her. He called it an heirloom. But the question was, what was it? She looked at the man and tilted her head. Her darkened blond hair flowed in the small breeze that passed her as she sat there. “It’s a fragment from the Orb. No one must find it Nimael. You are to lead a quest to find the other pieces and destroy it before the evil that was born of this orb is born again.” She blinked and looked at her father. Things were confusing her, but she knew that she needed to do this. “Nimael you must leave here and venture to the nine other kingdoms find the fragments and destroy the orb.”

The Races
The Hag
- Spoiler:
- Many hags have the ability to change their appearance, making it possible for them to interact with creatures of other races. Though horrible to contemplate, some use this ability to lure in mates, in the hopes that the offspring can help them further their evil plots. The descendants of a hag tend to be strong but ugly, and often share their ancestor’s love of schemes.
- Spoiler:
- Vampires retain all their natural emotions from the race they were a part of when they were alive, but gain a nearly insatiable lust for blood. Often they take this blood from their spouses, or in the case of the wealthiest from a selection of 'blood bags', creatures, typically poor humans, who are taken from their homes and kept in dungeons beneath the vampire's estate until they are needed for a meal. When a vampire bites he may do so rather forcefully or he may do it only to drink blood. Often forceful bites are used during combat as a last effort to protect oneself. Vampires lose all reproductive abilities, but do not lose their ability to have sex. Infact, many vampires are known for being considerably more passionate after their transformation. With their transformation, though, Vampires do gain a prominent pair of canines and lose much of their skin's pigmentation. Often a vampire loses the urge to eat often and will waste away to nearly skin and bones. This is no problem though, as they are already dead. Vampires aren't necessarily evil, and they aren't always good either. Vampires are known to pity those who haven't chosen to become a vampire, and this creates tension between the living and the dead often. When vampires converse, they are known for using large words and often cause the other members of the conversation to lose interest.
- Spoiler:
- Lycanthropes are humanoids who can transform themselves into animals. In its natural form, a lycanthrope looks like any other members of its kind, though natural lycanthropes and those who have been afflicted for a long time tend to have or acquire features reminiscent of their animal forms. In animal form, a lycanthrope resembles a powerful version of the normal animal, but on close inspection, its eyes (which often glow red in the dark) show a faint spark of unnatural intelligence. Lycanthropy can be spread like a disease. Sometimes a lycanthrope begins life as a normal humanoid or giant who subsequently contracts lycanthropy after being wounded by a lycanthrope. Such a creature is called an afflicted lycanthrope. Other lycanthropes are born as lycanthropes, and are known as natural lycanthropes.
- Spoiler:
- Personality: They are wary; earning their trustinvole namy sublte tests and trials. Dwarves compare them to mithral: beautiful and delicate in appearence, but stronger than the hardest steel. Physical Description: Ghost Elves have the same height and weight of elves but are frailer. They reach adulthood at 30 years of age and live to about a 100 years shorter than most elves. Gray hair and pale skin are nearly universal, with the occasonal having jet black hair. The eyes are the most striking feature; they are like twin mirrors lacking iris, and pupil.
- Spoiler:
- A goblin stands 3 to 3-1/2 feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds. Its eyes are usually dull and glazed, varying in color from red to yellow. A goblin’s skin color ranges from yellow through any shade of orange to a deep red; usually all members of a single tribe are about the same color. Goblins wear clothing of dark leather, tending toward drab, soiled-looking colors.
- Spoiler:
- Moon Elves, often called silver elves, are more tolerant of humans than the other elven sub-races. Their skin is the color of new cream, and does not tan or burn in sunlight. Their hair and eyes fall into two major variations. Some have light hair ranging from pale blond to strawberry blond, and blue eyes. Others have dark hair, ranging from medium brown to sheerest black, and intense green eyes. Silver elves prefer light pastel shades. Since they rely on hunting and woodsmanship, they often wear cloaks of green for camouflage in forests. Their preferred weapon is the bow, but they are also adept with long and short swords. In battle, they wear their gleaming elven chain mail beneath cloaks "woven of the essence of the woods," which allows them to move silently through forests, strike quickly, and then retreat. Although they may befriend giant eagles and occasionally use them for transport, they rarely use mounts because horses and the like are too unwieldy in the forest. Only on the long-distance journeys or on the plains will moon elves use mounts.
- Spoiler:
- old Elves, also called sunrise elves or high elves, tend to be recognized as the most civilized of the elven sub-races and the most aloof from mankind. Taller and more slender than the other elves, Gold elves typically have white-blond hair and golden eyes. Somewhat rarer are those grey elves who have pale golden hair and violet eyes. These elves are often known as faerie and are probably those who first made contact with humans. This subrace garbs themselves in wool tunics of gold, silver, white, or yellow. Over these, they wear cloaks of dark blue or purple. Their dress alone often makes them the most striking of the elves, and their elegant bearing and pure beauty make them almost appear as supernatural creatures. While not exactly bigoted toward other races, the grey elves do believe in the purity of the elven line. They are the least tolerant of other races, and they take pains to ensure that they remain secluded from all - sometimes even other elves. Only the mightiest mages of other races are allowed within their mountain citadels, and these are greeted with suspicion. The gold elves are not rabid in their dislike of the shorter-lived races, but they do fear the corruption that the other races can bring to the elves.
- Spoiler:
- An asherati might be mistaken for a thin human under some circumstances -- at least until the asherati's rust-red skin begins to glow with a light all its own, or until he dives headlong into the nearest sand dune, disappearing without a trace. Asheratis are a geographically established people who live below the sands and dusts of suitable wastelands, rising to the surface to hunt for food, socialize and trade with other races, and make war upon their enemies.
- Spoiler:
- DeepImaskari are guarded and detached, keeping an unconscious watchfulness in all their interactions. Their one passion is magical experimentation -- their enforced isolation did not change their basic fascination with magic and research in arcane lore, though they have lost much of the knowledge their race once possessed. They see all outcomes of magical research as mere data points, so they rarely get upset when a particular experiment turns out badly. One sure way to gain a deep Imaskari's friendship is to gift her with a spell she doesn't know or some other secret of arcane lore. Deep Imaskari are fascinated with magic -- how could they not be? Their very bodies were altered by an epic spell cast long ago to conceal their ancestors from their former slaves. Physical Description: A deep Imaskari appears mostly human. Her skin looks pale and stonelike, as if expertly sculpted from the finest veined marble, though it is as soft as human skin to the touch. (This stonelike appearance is a remnant of the magical alteration that all the Imaskari underwent to survive in Deep Imaskar.) Otherwise, a deep Imaskari is tall and slender -- a typical male stands between 5-3/4 and 6 feet in height and weighs around 160 pounds, and a female is about half a foot shorter and 40 pounds lighter. Deep Imaskari typically wear elaborate greatcoats, under which they sport elegant black shirts, trousers.
- Spoiler:
- Most think of the Avariel as angels or celestials upon first experience. Celestials and Guardinals are different, however, even those that bear a similar semblance, and Outsiders are not openly involved with the evolution of the Avariel lineage, so it is said. Most avariels spout 10 to 12 foot wing spans. Avariel are truly elven, said to be the children of the air goddess. All have marble white skin (which does not burn in the sun), white or black hair and most any eye color. The avariel's tend to be from 5 foot to 6 1/2 feet in height and weight accordingly because of their wings and bone structure, which allows them to fly. In the history there have been a few avariel who have had unusual hair color, like auburn, not many are found and is are very rare. Because of their hair color, their wings are often the same color. The avariel race does practice the dying of their wing tips or whole wings, to different colors.
- Spoiler:
- These kobolds turn their race's nornmal reverence of dragons into fanaticism. Driven to bind their souls to that of a dragon lord, dragonkin kobolds assume traits and qualities of their new master. The effects of this binding are not immediately apparent, but the kobolds undergo subtle changes in their appearance and stature and acquire unusual powers—at the cost of their independence and individuality. Every dragonkin kobold bears a dragon scale on its chest that binds it to its master. The flesh around the scale rebels against this unnatural graft, becoming reddened and infected (though causing no discomfort). Dragonkin gain physical features of the dragons they serve, including a more scaly appearance than normal and strange, glowing eyes. They clothes their bodies in the shed scales of their masters, or even stitch them into their flesh, furthering the bond with the lord they gladly serve.
- Spoiler:
- Most duergar are bald (even the females), and they dress in drab clothing that is designed to blend into stone. In their lairs they may wear jewelry, but it is always kept dull. They war with other dwarves, even allying with other underground creatures from time to time.
- Spoiler:
- Desert travelers, armands vend their wares in every desert on the world.
- Spoiler:
- Jungle elves are somewhat more primal than their baseline counterparts. In many jungles, ancient elven cities have been swallowed up by the voracious encroachment of trees, vines, and animals, leaving just a shadowy remnant of the population to remember the former glories of their lost civilization.
- Spoiler:
- They are fiercely isolationist and have little contact with other peoples. They are taller, but slighter, than humans. They have tan skin, and almost elflike sylvan features.
- Spoiler:
- Pixies wear bright clothing, often including a cap and shoes with curled and pointed toes. A pixie stands about 2-1/2 feet tall and weighs about 30 pounds.
- Spoiler:
- Faeries stand around 6' 0". They have a light frame, long flowing hair, and light skin tone. They also have functional wings, which resemble butterfly wings. RelationsFaeries enjoy friendships with the elves, centaurs, and satyrs of Taresi. They tolerate the other races.

- Spoiler:
- A lizardfolk is usually 6 to 7 feet tall with green, gray, or brown scales. Its tail is used for balance and is 3 to 4 feet long. A lizardfolk can weigh from 200 to 250 pounds.
- Spoiler:
- Kuo-toa have scaly, bipedal bodies with fish-like heads. Kuo-toa often raid seaside settlements for human victims. The cold, unblinking stare of their bulbous eyes and the horrific reek of decayed sea life that always hovers around them bring a chill to the spine of the most stalwart warrior. What goes on inside the inhuman minds of these cold-blooded creatures defies contemplation, and what ancient horrors they consort with in the deepest chasms of the world are better left unknown.
- Spoiler:
- Large aberration
- Spoiler:
- Blue Goblin like critters who love rats and are immune to different diseases.
- Spoiler:
- Wild Elves, sometimes known as green elves, forest elves, or wood elves, are reclusive and distrusting of non-elves, in particular humankind. They have yellow blond to coppery-red hair, which contrasts with their lightly tanned skin. Their eyes are generally light brown, although bright green is not uncommon. Hazel or blue eyes are exceptionally rare, cropping up only two to ten times in an entire generation. Wood elves, by their very nature, seem more prone to violence than their civilized cousins. Their muscles are larger, their complexions more florid. Wood elf clothing is much less gaudy than one would normally expect from an elf. The focus of their clothing is to allow the wearer to blend with the woods easily. A typical outfit is dark brown and green, or tan and russet in fall. Winter finds sylvan elves wearing white leather so that they can hide in snow. Wood elves are often described as wild and temperamental. This is true to the extent that these elves are a very emotional people. They live with their hearts, not their minds as do the grey elves. Whatever they feel, they know it is the right answer. Logic plays little part in their lives, for logic cannot save one from the charging boar or the falling tree. Intuition and strength are all that counts in the wildwood.
- Spoiler:
- The Catfolk are the members of a strange race who travel from village to village, looking for money and company: they don’t have a permanent home and are always on the road. Constantly joyous and playful, Catfolk love to play and there is no end to the mischief they can wreak. Catfolk are optimists in all respects. They take life as it comes, usually with much laughter and merriment, and never look to the future, past, or indeed the present. This outlook sometimes does more good than bad, but Catfolk are quick to make amends, and even quicker to forgive themselves. In battle they are quick and lively, leaving their enemies confused and bewildered as to what they will do next, but even after a battle they are a nuisance, sometimes trying to make friends with their captives. Catfolk are short and muscular, but without the weight and ungainliness of dwarves or the slimness and beauty of elves. They stand 4½ feet tall, sometimes a bit more, and weigh around 45 to 55 pounds. They have definite cat features: a short muzzle, whiskers, vertical pupils, a long, graceful tail, and legs shaped like those of big cats; however they walk upright, albeit with a slight stoop. Their skin is covered in a coat of soft fur of any soft color, and their eyes are usually green, yellow or brown. Catfolk have no hair, just fur on their head, and their ears are those of a cat. Their arms are human, but furred less and less going down until their slightly shorter-than-human hands are furless. Catfolk mature at 12 years of age and live for around 40 or 45 years
- Spoiler:
- Normal everyday human of the middle ages
- Spoiler:
- Snow Elves wear long vests of dirty-white color, often with a owl. Snow Elves, or Blue Elves, are a very particular race that lives, and that can survive, but in the coldest of the regions. Their number is very, very small. Tales say they were originally Gray Elves that were exiled at pole in very ancient times, for reasons now forgotten. Only the stronger ones could survive, but at the cost of adapting their bodies with the centuries. Their skin turned light blue, their hair white. Eyes, to resist the brightness of the endless artic days and to see in the endless artic nights, became similar to those of cats.
- Spoiler:
- Gnomes are welcome everywhere as technicians, alchemists, and inventors. Despite the demand for their skills, most gnomes prefer to remain among their own kind, living in comfortable burrows beneath rolling, wooded hills where animals abound. Gnomes adore/love/admire/like animals, beautiful gems, and jokes of all kinds. Members of this race have a great sense of humor and while they love puns, jokes, and games, they also relish tricks-the more intricate the better. They apply the same dedication to more practical arts, such as engineering, as they do their pranks. Gnomes are inquisitive. They love to find things out by personal experience. At times they're even reckless. Their curiosity makes them skilled engineers, since they are always trying new ways to build things. Sometimes a gnome pulls a prank just to see how the people involved will react. Gnomes stand about 3 to 3-1/2 feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds. Their skin ranges from dark tan to woody brown, their hair is fair, and their eyes can be any shade of blue. Gnome males prefer short, carefully trimmed beards. Gnomes generally wear leather or earth tones, and they decorate their clothes with intricate stitching or fine jewelry. Gnomes reach adulthood at age 40 and they typically live around 350 years, though some can live almost 500 years.
- Spoiler:
- Many tieflings are indistinguishable from humans. Others have small horns, pointed teeth, red eyes, a whiff of brimstone about them, or even cloven feet. No two tieflings are the same.

- Spoiler:
- Legend tells of dark mages attempting to summon and control Elemental Mephits across planes. The later results are rare mutant generations of Mephits, known as Mephlings. The range of mutations varies from slightly human-like to more human-like in nature. In any case they are outcast from their Mephit communities and often abandoned at an early age by their parents, on other material planes. In some cases they are left on hospitable planes and occasionally found and raised. Despite being clever and charismatic they are unlike any other beings and thus do not fit in. This leads to a secluded life where they are most commonly hidden from the world and educated by their adopted parents. The result is a lack of worldly experience. Reaching adulthood around 50 years, and living until well over 200 years, they can often outlive their parents. At these times it is not uncommon for Lesser Mephlings to venture out in search of others like them, giving them their much desired sense of belonging.
- Spoiler:
- The illumians are a race created by sorcery. Through painstaking ritual, they have developed a mystical connection to the magic runes that make up their alphabet. Glowing sigils surround them, granting the power of an eldritch language made flesh. Illumians are driven by the need to understand a given situation, then master it. An illumian wants to be the one who finds the flaw in the blackguard's strategy, or who casts the perfect spell to destroy the lich forever. Illumians would rather lose a fight to a superior foe than defeat a less capable enemy -- especially if they were able to demonstrate grit and brains in the losing effort. Winning and losing don't matter, but mastery does (and mastery and victory tend to go hand in hand).
- Spoiler:
- An orc’s hair usually is black. It has lupine ears and reddish eyes. Orcs prefer wearing vivid colors that many humans would consider unpleasant, such as blood red, mustard yellow, yellow-green, and deep purple. Their equipment is dirty and unkempt. An adult male orc is a little over 6 feet tall and weighs about 210 pounds. Females are slightly smaller.
- Spoiler:
- Halflings stand about 3 feet tall and usually weigh between 30 and 35 pounds. They have brown or black eyes. Halfling men often have long sideburns, but beards are rare among them and mustaches almost unseen. Halflings prefer simple, comfortable, and practical clothes. Unlike members of most races, they prefer actual comfort to shows of wealth. Halflings reach adulthood in their early twenties and generally live into the middle of their second century.
- Spoiler:
- Changelings are children abandoned by fey to grow up in the human realms and often are a bit mentally unstable. A changeling's signature ability, is, of course, its ability to change shape. Changelings are intelligent, charming, and usually have quick wits. However, they are exceedingly reckless and are often considered harmlessly insane. Changelings stand about the same height as half-elves, but are rather thin and so are easily 5 to 10 lb lighter. They have light hair and a gray skin tone. Their eyes are usually dark but are also gold or brown.
- Spoiler:
- Dark Elves, also called drow or night elves, are the most sinister and evil of the elven races. Drow are typically shorter than other elves, and they retain the Dexterity common to elves. The corruption of the drow echoed in their appearance, for their skin darkened to ebony black and their hair turned white. Their eyes glowed red, especially when angered. In all other respects, save their height and coloring, drow resemble their aboveground cousins.
Driven beneath the surface long ago by the good, light-loving elves, these sinister beings have made a home for themselves in what they call the Underdark. They have become the masters and mistresses of dark grottoes, and they have thrived in a savage land where most dare not tread.
Drow have an abiding hatred of all things aboveground, but nothing draws their wrath quite like the good elves. The drow take any chance they can to destroy other elves they encounter. Even the few evil elves aboveground are seen as enemies, and the drow do not hesitate to betray such a one when he or she has served a purpose.
- Spoiler:
- dwarves favor earth tones in their clothing and prefer simple and functional garb. The skin can be very dark, but it is always some shade of tan or brown. Hair color can be black, gray, or brown. Hill dwarves average 4 feet tall and weigh as much as adult humans.

Name: Nikolai Alucard Constantine
Age: 304, appears to be mid thirties
Race: Vampire, formerly Human
Physical Description:
Personality: Dark, brooding, and solitary, Nikolai keeps mostly to himself. He trusts few, and constantly is on his toes. He is suspicious of new people, and tries not to get himself attached to any companions he may have. His attitude makes him appear rude, cold, and heartless, however this is far from the truth. Nikolai behaves this way out of necessity, once being one of the most benign vampires in existence. He was once very loyal, sociable, and charismatic, but his history and nature has forced him into isolation.
Which of the ten kingdoms is the character from: Ser’ves
What equipment does the character have:
Longsword
Dagger
Throwing Knives (6)
Garrote
Chainmail
Studded Leather
Hooded Cloak
Signet Ring
Bedroll and Blanket
Heavy Warhorse
Lockpicks
Acid Vials
Whetstone
Adventurers Outfit
Backpack
Saddlebags
Saddle, Bit and Bridle
Small Mirror
Does the character have a shard of the Orb: No
Biography: The Constantine family was once a powerful noble vampire house among the kingdom of Ser’ves. They were well respected, and equally feared among their peers. However, when the Dark Queen Lyess came to power, the Constantine family led the small rebellion against her. Lyess smashed the rebel vampires and their small army quickly, putting all who opposed her to the sword. The Constantine family fled, scattering across all of the Ten Kingdoms. Lyess tracked them down one by one, killing the family piece by piece. By the time of her death, only a few Constantine’s remained. Nikolai, perhaps the last surviving member of his once noble house, walks the Ten Kingdoms alone. He is hated by both the human world and the undead, for he has a traitor’s blood and a monsters soul. His only goal is to destroy the shards of the Orb, and prevent the Dark Queen from ever returning to wage war upon the lands again.

Lord Allistair Delacroix (Ten Kingdoms)
Name: Lord Allistair Delacroix
Age: Unkown
Race: Vampire
Physical Description: The undead lord looks to be in his mid-thirties and has ghostly-white skin. His eyes, at one time a crystalline blue, now burn a fierce red. His hair has gone from a light brown to a black so dark as to have a bleen shine to it. Although he was formerly a human, his long, lightly tipped ears and sensitive, vaguely hawk-like nose betray a distant elven ancestor.
Personality: Allistair had a harsh childhood. as such, he rarely trusts outsiders. His terrible adolescent years have made him cunning, resourceful, and selfish. He is the type of person who is always calm. He does not like to negotiate with non-humans, and holds a special contempt (envy is a more appropriate term) for Golden Elves and their natural beauty.
Which of the ten kingdoms is the character from: Ser'ves, but he is prone to wandering during the night.
What equipment does the character have: (Remember this is fantasy so medieval weapons and equipment)
Strengthened obsidian longsword
Black slacks
Leather boots
Ivory undershirt
Several of those fancy little scarves that rennaisance people layered, to create that "frilly shirt" effect
Ebony evening jacket
Mithril chain shirt (worn under undershirt)
Vial (for carrying blood)
Trail rations (a week's worth)
Triforce of Courage
Long hooded cloak, onyx
Does the character have a shard of the Orb: Yes.
Biography: In a time even before the advent of common magic and steel forges, a child was born in a small village in Jirix. In his early years, the boy had difficulties with bullies, and his impoverished family could be of no real help. He grew up filled with rage at his circumstance, determined to change his role in this world that he had been curelly thrust upon. The young man was still attending school well after his loathed adversaries had taken their places as paupers and beggars, gaining a proper education, and becoming well-versed in the basics of diplomacy and swordplay. The boy grew into a man, and held a wife. In time, he even attained the title of Lord over his little village. Peace reigned for ten years, and the village grew into a full-fledged town.
It was then that the vampires struck. They slaughtered everyone that they could, burning and feasting and laughing like wild animals. Several of the townsfolk were taken from the village for later feeding. The unlucky ones were left to their horrible transformations.
Allistair awoke as a monster, his town--his pride and joy--completely destroyed, inhabited by mindless drones. Since that fateful day, he has sought a cure. Not for himself, but for all vampires. He cannot bear to think of himself as a monster. He loathes his own lust for blood.

Sorry it took so long to set these done, but here are my sign-ups! I will gladly make any changes that you recommend.
Name: Valandir Gwalithe
Age: 176
Race: Avariel Elf
Physical Description: Valandir stands at 6’3” and has a pale, marble-like complexion. He is not particularly well muscled, but the muscles that he does have are built into a toned, lithe physique, a result of his extensive travels. He has chocolate brown eyes and wind-tousled black hair that he rarely bothers to comb; instead he lets the fringe fall across his forehead. Likewise, his wings are also completely jet-black and reach a total span of 12 feet. His attire consists of the following:
Personality: Valandir tends to view the world in an easygoing, slightly cynical manner. He is independent and self-reliant, to the point of being too cocky for his own good. He has no problem with talking to people and doesn’t shy away from conversation. However, with most people, he maintains his façade of being laid-back and cynical so he doesn’t show his true feelings. As a result, others tend to get frustrated in talking with him, thinking that he is mocking them or not taking them seriously. He also has a penchant for giving people nicknames instead of referring to them by their real names, often just to tease them.
In battle or when faced with problems, Valandir keeps up his confident, snarky personality, usually throwing in a few taunts to his opponent, while on the inside he is focused and serious. He can’t stand to lose to anyone and relishes new challenges.
Only a handful of people have managed to get past Valandir’s walls and earn his trust to the point where he doesn’t see the need to be sarcastic around them. The most notable exception to this rule is his mate, Laeriel. Though still easygoing on the outside, he is fiercely protective of her and expresses his gentler, more loving side when the two of them are alone.
Which of the ten kingdoms is the character from: Hityc
What equipment does the character have:
-Two-handed longsword
-Round one-handed shield
-Lightweight chainmail (worn underneath clothes)
-Hardened leather greaves (worn underneath clothes)
-Pack and bedroll
-Rations
-Water skins
-Flint to start campfires
Does the character have a shard of the orb: Yes
Biography: Valandir grew up in one of the larger colonies of Avariel elves in Hityc, located in an ancient, towering castle dating back centuries. He had a younger brother Ilindur and two caring parents. However, not long after he reached adulthood, a roving band of Dragonkin killed his parents while they were away from the colony. Valandir took care of Ilindur until he also reached adulthood, though Ilindur grew consumed with a desire for revenge on their parents’ murderers. Things only got worse when Ilindur slipped away from the colony in the middle of the night to pursue that revenge in what was most certainly a suicidal mission. Valandir spent the next three years trying to find him without success. Then he began crossing paths with Laeriel, who was traveling on her own to try and see more of the world. Slowly she earned Valandir’s trust, and he explained to her what had happened with his brother. Laeriel joined him in his search, and they finally found him being held prisoner by the Dragonkin. They managed to sneak into the Dragonkin’s camp and free Ilindur, but months of imprisonment and torture had left him traumatized and a hollow shell of his former self. Before they fled the camp, Valandir discovered a shard of the Demonic Orb amongst the Dragonkin’s treasures and stole it.
Valandir and Laeriel brought Ilindur safely back home, where he gradually started to recover psychologically and emotionally. Laeriel stayed with the colony during those months, during which time she and Valandir fell in love and formed a matebond. They also learned of the significance of the orb shard in their possession. Leaving Ilindur in the care of the colony, they departed once again and have been traveling across the Ten Kingdoms ever since, keeping their shard out of the hands of the wicked and searching for other shards.
Name: Laeriel Gwalithe
Age: 150
Race: Avariel Elf
Physical Description: Laeriel stands at 5’10” with a slender physique for ease of flight and marble-white skin like most others of her kind. She has straight black hair that hangs down to her shoulders, long bangs that fall artfully across her face, and jade green eyes. Her black wings reach out to a span of 10 feet and are dyed silver at the tips. Her clothing consists of a loose-fitting, forest green tunic that is belted in the middle with a wide brown leather belt and gray leggings.
Personality: Laeriel’s personality is basically the polar opposite of her mate’s. Whereas Valandir is cynical and outgoing, she is quiet and gentle. As a result, she will often banter back and forth with him and usually get frustrated first. Her propensity to give people the benefit of the doubt bordered on naïveté in her younger years, but decades of traveling the Ten Kingdoms and witnessing the various cultures of other races have taught her otherwise. Laeriel is generally non-confrontational, but she will fight wholeheartedly to protect those that she holds dear or in self-defense.
Which of the ten kingdoms is the character from: Hityc
What equipment does the character have:
-Two slender one-handed swords
-Hardened leather vest (worn underneath clothes)
-Hardened leather greaves (worn underneath clothes)
-Pack and bedroll
-Rations
-Water skins
-Flint to start campfires
-Medicinal herbs and bandages
Does the character have a shard of the orb: She and Valandir both guard the same shard.
Biography: Laeriel grew up as an only child to caring parents in a small, isolated colony in Hityc by a lake surrounded by palm trees. When she reached adulthood, she grew restless and wanted to see more of the world than just what was near her colony. And so she set off on a journey, during which she crossed paths with Valandir several times. Open learning about his brother’s plight, she joined him and helped free Ilindur from the Dragonkin. She then stayed at Valandir’s colony for several months while Ilindur recovered. During that time, she and Valandir realized their feelings for each other and formed a matebond. She and Valandir have spent the past several decades traveling across the ten kingdoms, searching for other orb shards and keeping their one shard safe from those who would use it for evil.

Me me me! *Jumps up and down excitedly*
Name: Garrick Stoutback
Age: 52
Race: Dwarf
Physical Description: Garrick stands roughly 4 feet tall, and weights a hefty 170 pounds. He wears his dark red hair in the traditional dwarven fashion, long and braided, as is his beard. His eyes are a light blue, but hard, resembling cold stone. The polished great helm he wears covers most of his head, and the nose piece neatly hides the dwarfs broken nose. His muscled body is covered with the best plate mail avalible to him, and is always gleaming its silvers and golds. THe great axe on his back appears to be from the same set as the armor, but it has shown a considerable amount of wear. He also wears a small hand cross bow and bolts around his waist.
Personality: Garrick never speaks. This is not because of the stubborn nature of dwarfs, but because he is unable to. In a great battle between the Dwarfs of Keun and the Drow, Garricks throat was badly damaged, and he has since been unable to talk, save for small grunts. He believes the injury's purpose was to humble him, as he was a loud mouthed youth at the time of the battle. He now looks on life with a quiet reflection. He Will communicate when necessary through writing. Garrick is now a calm tempered person, and is difficult to anger. He is intensely loyal to his charge, and any friends he makes.
Which of the ten kingdoms is the character from: Keun
What equipment does the character have:
Platemail
Battle Axe
Crossbow (light)
Bolts (15)
Satchel
Stone Slate
Chalk (5)
Waterskin
Hard rations
Whetstone
Rag and oil polish
Does the character have a shard of the Orb: Yes
Biography:
About 20 years ago, Garricks tribe engaged in a battle with a rival clan of Drow elves in the area. The entire garrison was comitted to the fight, because of this, the clans sacred shard was to be carried into battle. Garrick was given the role of standard bearer, but also was entrusted to protect the shard. The fighting was intense and lasted for more than a day. During the dawn hours, the Drow archers launched a volley of burning arrows. The Drawven force was caught off guard, and Garrick took an arrow to the nape of the neck. His collar bone stopped the arrow from killing him, but the fire burned his throat. A nearby cleric was able to clean the wound, but there was nothing that could be done to save his speech.
When the standard fell, the Dwarven lines broke, and were routed. The Dwarfs were slaughtered to the last person, save one, who by fate or by luck, crawled into a natural ravine, and was looked over by the enemy soldiers. Since then Garrick has become a wanderer, the last warrior of his tribe, protecting the shard that was entrusted to him.
I hope my bio is okay. If I need to alter it I will.

Name: Krolm-Krueak {Cr-olm, Kru-ack)
Age: Unknown
Race: Anthropomorphic personification.
Physical Description:
The personification of destruction and darkness itself this being is not one to be trifled with. However despite it's power it is still an arrogant individual and as such can often be tricked into doing stupid things.
Which of the ten kingdoms is the character from: Originally the Nether Hells. Though that realm of spirituality no longer exists.
What equipment does the character have:
A large shard of the orb
Food and basic supplies
A staff made from the bones of the earth
Several large skulls of strange never seen beasts.
A monstrous stead made from stone that looks more like some sort of primeval monster than a horse
The Whip of Hell- a weapon He managed to drag with him when he escaped from the collapsing nether hells.
Does the character have a shard of the Orb: Yes
Biography: Stories, legends and even religions come and go. But what happens to the Gods, devils, and creatures they leave behind? Lord of a Hell long forgotten, Krolm Krueak is ancient. When the world was young he was already countless eons old. The religions that honored him and his pantheon faded out long ago. Unlike them though he refused to fade and though he is only a shadow of his former greatness, something allowed him to hold onto his existence even as his brethren faded. He gripped tightly to reality and would not let go.
The few ancient records describe him as a destroyer. Or even the Destroyer. The one who condemned the souls of the fallen to eternal torture, or simply consumed them outright. However after all these years he is not quite the same as the myths paint him. Despite his once incredible power he is slowly becoming more mortal. The decline of a god is slow lasting for countless millennia but now it has drawn near it's inevitable end.
Or at least it would have. Almost a thousand years ago Krolm-Krueak's nearly mortal self stumbled upon a fragment of the orb. Long fingers of the earth itself stretched out to grasp the fragment. As He touched it he felt more alive than he had in ages and the power of the orb flowed into him. Using the energy from that shard he has slowly begun to rebuild his power. Establishing a small group that worships him is merely the beginning and yet it is enough to sustain him at his current level of power. Though much less than a true god now, he is still much more than man.
He seeks to claim all the shards and to use them to fuel his own ascension, his own storming of the heavens and the hells.

I did read your introduction. Krolm-Krueak is a big evil yes and he is also one who can use the power of the orb shards. I do know he isn't the ultimate evil anymore. He is seeking to become it again.
Obviously he fails as do all evil guys but I hope to enjoy playing him.

Yes. Part of what I plan on doing with the character is having her gradually learn how to interact with people. Until than, she's going to be incredibly awkward.

Name: Nuri'An "Nuri" Vanadyll
Age: 33
Race: Ghost Elf
Physical Description:
And she's wearing these boots:
Personality: Nuri'An is very stubborn and has great determination. Once she wants something, she'll get it one way or another. Though at first she might come off as someone who's unable to love, she actually has a great heart and once she considers you as her friend or a beloved, she'll do anything for you. A very passionate personality she has, but that works like a two bladed knife: she'll do anything for you once she loves you, but once you break her trust, you can never regain it. Because she is a Ghost Elf it is her nature to be wary and therefore it takes time for her to trust someone. She has great respect for her kin and they always come first. One of the things she hates most is betrayal and if she's able to, she'll repay you with death if you ever betray her or her kin.
Which of the ten kingdoms is the character from: Ser'ves
What equipment does the character have:
Does the character have a shard of the Orb: No
Biography:
Being one of the highest ranks in the Ser'ves military, it was no surprise for Nuri'An when she was told about the Shards and that they expected her to go out and look for them. The history of the Shards had always been intertwined with the history and fate of her kin, like a red thread. Her father used to tell her bloody war tales when it was time for her to go to bed and that was when her lust for the military was born. Like her father, Nuri reached the top ranks in the military and then she was given the one chance that her father was never given: to look for the Shards. For the first time ever, she saw tears in her father's eyes when she told him about her quest.
Age: 33
Race: Ghost Elf
Physical Description:

But she has much smaller and more delicate ears and longer hair. She's the occasional Ghost Elf with jet black hair.

Name: Athaniar Lightbringer
Age: 15000
Race: Vampuric Gold Elf
Physical Description: Standing at a lofty 6 feet 3 inches he has skin that would be best described as marble like, white,hard, and cold. With facial features that are both sharp and symmetrical as well as beautiful in their own way. But it is his eyes that destroy his beauty. A striking silver they glow with the magic so beloved of his race but such things come with a price. Intermixed with this glow is the hunger for more knowledge, to have more of the addicting power he wields, these eyes are framed by hair so golden it seems woven of sunlight.
Slim of build he nonetheless radiates an aura so common to swordsmen and is usually seen wearing a blue hooded robe to hide his vampuric nature. Upon this robe is a leather satchel belt to hold the ingredients necessary to the conduction of Alchemy. Herbs to brew potions and poisons as well as more distasteful products. Upon his neck rests a amulet crafted of gold and ruby, the one concession to sentimentally it is the product of his now dead sister.
Personality: Cold and aloft he is is the prefect example of his race. He cares nothing for humanity and what he deems the lesser elven kind. All he cares about is gaining more power, to rule the very universe.
Which of the ten kingdoms is the character from: Rien
What equipment does the character have:
A blue hooded robe
A 6 foot Magus staff crafted of bleached wood hard as steel crowned with pure white crystal held within a frame of the wood the staff is crafted of.
A amulet crafted of gold and glowing ruby
A leather belt with several pouches
Several types of Herbs and various other plants and animal parts.
A small traveler's pouch holding supplies as well as a portable Alchemy laboratory.
Does the character have a shard of the Orb: No
Biography:
Born in the homeland of the High Elves he was as any other child. Gifted in the Arcane Arts but so was any other Gold Elf. Nonetheless he grew up in the Mage's Academy learning of Magic and what could be done with it. And more importantly what should be done with it,endless lectures on the dangers of the power Mages wield. Drilled into his head that Magic was greater then the Mightiest Warrior's blade and that is should be given even more respect.
But as with any gifted student he saw himself above such petty concerns and soon delved into dark secrets and tomes even the Wisest Mage was wary of. And although he proved able to handle the initial shock of such things and indeed soon outstripped his peers he fell to the dark lure. Deeper and deeper he walked the dark path, till he was cast out of the Mage's Academy of his people. But such things he viewed as the jealously of old men realizing a child had surpassed them.
And with that he plundered old tombs, raided ruins, and desecrated holy places all in the name of gaining power. Necromancer's books woven of human skin, ArchMage's libraries, Tomes written in forgotten languages. All gave up their secrets and their power to this young mage.
But it never was enough, to destroy armies with but a word, to control the powers of fire,frost,and lightning, to summon the Ancient demons to do his beck and call. It was never enough, for Athaniar o control of all the power in the world was his goal, to have kings kneel to him. To challenge the gods themselves and prove to even them that they where as nothing compared to him.
But such things had their drawbacks, in the quest of yet another tome best forgotten he was stricken with vampirism by it's current owner. Despite wresting control of the tome he knew he could do nothing about the disease now coursing through his veins. All his attempts at curing himself, from Alchemy to Spells whose meaning escaped most, nothing halted the cancer in his soul.
In one last despair filled attempt he turned to his Sister. Despite misgivings about helping her power obsessed brother blood was thicker then water.Famous as a healer even she could do little for him and on the third day of being stricken despite every attempt made he awoke as Walker of the Night. A child of the Night Mother he knew nothing but hatred and a moment of clarity that perhaps power wasn't all it was cracked up to be . But the moment swiftly passed as he planned further quests.
Before leaving his Sister gave him amulet, a finely crafted piece of gold and ruby it glowed with obvious magical power. All his spells of finding nothing more sinister then a spell of blood binding he could find on the amulet, perhaps it was his sister way of reminding him of something he had forgotten. Despite scoffing at the idea Athaniar nonetheless donned the amulet and has worn it since. A concession to sentimentally some would say. Of course very few would say it to his face.
Wandering the realms and kingdoms he continually strives for more power, discovering ways of magic and power he still thinks it isn't enough. 15000 years passed and his perhaps one of the most powerful mages on the planet but in his eyes it still isn't enough. No the gods where still stronger then he, everyday this fact is driven into his head as he looks in a mirror or pond and sees his vampuric nature staring back at him. Every time he is forced to feed he sees it.
But the Orb, the Demonic Orb holds the power he has so long desired, But before he can act upon it it is shattered, scattered to the far reaches of the world. Determined to find it and reunite the pieces to gain it's true power he now searches for the fragments. No matter what stands in his way the Vampuric Gold Elf will gain it's power. Athaniar Lightbringer will rise to become a God, Nay King of the Gods and rule the universe as twas always meant to be. He will show the world what true power is.

Name: Estela Lelesse Grimoire
Age: 120
Race: Hag
Physical Description:
Estela hides her true, grotesque figure behind a facade almost twenty-four seven. Her favorite disguise is a young human woman, about twenty-three with soft, curled black tresses that fall past her shoulders. Her skin is smooth and delicate, like she had never picked up a tool in her life. She is elegant and regal, her body language portraying her noble roots. Her green eyes though, hold a clue to the woman's nature. Dark emerald eyes that dance with intelligence and disdain. Of course this form can be changed at will.
Personality: Estela, like any respectable hag, loves to scheme. She also loves riches, deception and chaos. She holds herself in very high esteem and would do anything to get what she wants. She hates anything to do with good. She has seeped herself in dark ways, corrupting her very soul.
Estela is a very good actress, playing each role her various looks warrant, but her sadistic personality still underlies every action. She isn't one to believe, or even think about, love and finds it amusing when she hears others talk of it. Of course if someone proclaims their love for her she will use it to her advantage. A cruel woman with a vipers smile, she is a woman people should be wary of.
Which of the ten kingdoms is the character from: Keun
What equipment does the character have:
When Not Traveling:
-Small, jewel encrusted dagger
-Vial of poison
-Vial of potion
-Long, thin needles, dipped in poison

-Large bag of coins
-Rations
-Flint
-Large knapsack that holds most of the items
-Black stallion with a silver bridle and matching saddle and saddle bags
-At other times a small, yet pretty, carriage drawn by two horses
Does the character have a shard of the Orb: No
Biography: Estela was born to a fairly prestigious line of Hags, or as prestigious as hags could get. Her families belief, and a strong one at that, was that no woman shall mate with another species. This was difficult in and of itself since male hags where very rare. Their family would wait their entire lives before mating. It was very surprising that they hadn't died out. Of course they lived fairly long lives so it wasn't to terrible.
Estela is the last of her line. Her mother was unlucky enough to meet her mate near the end of her life and she didn't live long after Estela was born, leaving her to be raised by her aunt. Estela was always scheming of how to get her aunts small fortune she had obtained from a man who had loved her. Her aunt would always talk about how foolish creatures could be, especially men. Being attracted to someone really made them think they where in love.
Estela ended up poisoning her aunt and taking all of her riches. It wasn't as large a fortune as could be imagined, but it was a pretty penny. Estela moved to a better house and chance smiled upon her again when a young, human noblewoman, caught in a snowstorm, had her carriage stop at Estela's house. She transformed into a kindly, old woman so as to gain the trust of the company. She talked with the girl about her life, learning about her father's recent death and the toll it was taking on her. After she had heard almost everything she sent the girl to bed and when she was fast asleep she took the girls life.
The next morning, after the snow had stopped, she came down from the girls room, her appearance changed to the girls, and went with them, taking the place of the girl. Her family wasn't the richest, but they ruled over a village and, as the last surviving heir, the girl was the sole benefactor of the wealth and controlled the village.
Estela has lived in the mansion for two years now, fooling the villagers and those who lived in the mansion. She had pretended to go into a deep depression, locking herself in her room for days, and when she had finally recovered she portrayed herself as a changed, traumatized woman. She raised taxes, was cruel to her staff and villagers and would eliminate anyone who suspected something. Of course once in awhile she would show a broken, pained girl, a shell of who they once knew and everything would be forgiven. That is how she currently lives, happy and wealthy.

Biography: Estela was born to a fairly prestigious line of Hags, or as prestigious as hags could get. Her families belief, and a strong one at that, was that no woman shall mate with another species. This was difficult in and of itself since male hags where very rare. Their family would wait their entire lives before mating. It was very surprising that they hadn't died out. Of course they lived fairly long lives so it wasn't to terrible.
Estela is the last of her line. Her mother was unlucky enough to meet her mate near the end of her life and she didn't live long after Estela was born, leaving her to be raised by her aunt. Estela was always scheming of how to get her aunts small fortune she had obtained from a man who had loved her. Her aunt would always talk about how foolish creatures could be, especially men. Being attracted to someone really made them think they where in love.
Estela ended up poisoning her aunt and taking all of her riches. It wasn't as large a fortune as could be imagined, but it was a pretty penny. Estela moved to a better house and chance smiled upon her again when a young, human noblewoman, caught in a snowstorm, had her carriage stop at Estela's house. She transformed into a kindly, old woman so as to gain the trust of the company. She talked with the girl about her life, learning about her father's recent death and the toll it was taking on her. After she had heard almost everything she sent the girl to bed and when she was fast asleep she took the girls life.
The next morning, after the snow had stopped, she came down from the girls room, her appearance changed to the girls, and went with them, taking the place of the girl. Her family wasn't the richest, but they ruled over a village and, as the last surviving heir, the girl was the sole benefactor of the wealth and controlled the village.
Estela has lived in the mansion for two years now, fooling the villagers and those who lived in the mansion. She had pretended to go into a deep depression, locking herself in her room for days, and when she had finally recovered she portrayed herself as a changed, traumatized woman. She raised taxes, was cruel to her staff and villagers and would eliminate anyone who suspected something. Of course once in awhile she would show a broken, pained girl, a shell of who they once knew and everything would be forgiven. That is how she currently lives, happy and wealthy.

Name: Galen
Age: 256
Race: Unknown/Wizard
Physical Description:
Personality:
Although living as a hermit for a long as he can remember, he is remarkably social when he is permitted to do so. He is always the one to make the most sarcastic, or otherwise satirical comments. He instantly makes friends and enemies when introduced to people and when he decides to stick with someone, he sticks with him or her.
He makes for interesting company.
Which of the ten kingdoms the character is from: Uml
Equipment:
Long, blue robes with a white/silver raiment
Tall, wooden staff encrusted with a arcane diamond that increases his power
An elven dagger
Various herbs and medicine in pouches hidden beneath his robes
Does your character have a shard of the Orb?: Yes
Biography:
Galen has been living as a hermit for as long as he remembers and everything that has happened beforehand is just a vague memory.
For exactly 203 years he has been living in Uml, living with the Wild Elves, learning from the Catfolk and killing the Xvarts.
Now Galen is exceptionally powerful in the arcane arts and is perceived as one of the most, if not the most, powerful wizard in the world (albeit there aren’t many…).
He has, with his skill in this school of magic, befriended the Wild Elves of Uml and, to certain groups of this civilization, become almost as a demi-god to them. The only reason to this honorific title is that Galen enjoys the killing of the Xvarts, which he sees as vile, wretched creatures, and the Wild Elves have a strong hate and fear of these little terrors.
Other than some ties with the Wild Elves, he also travels to the Catfolk towns and simply stays among them, learning their ways.
Other than his periodic visits to these civilizations, he wanders the grassy hills of Uml, doing whatever good he can.
One day, however, he found a shard. He could feel the energy emanating from the object as he picked it up from the water. He had no idea what it was.
Finally, Galen thought he had found some goal to achieve during his long, long life. He was to take the shard and return it to its rightful owner.
