I'm going to be exploring the frozen North in the land of Icewind Dale, and I need your help. You see, this game features a party of six adventurers heading off together. I've always thought that other people create more interesting characters, so I thought I'd ask for help.
Pick a portrait from this site, pick a class, and tell me a little about the character.
My Protagonist:
Aarsin Delmyst CG Elf F/M/T
Hailing from the realm of Everska, Aarsin served as a tomb guard for much of his young life. His middle class upbringing was boosted by the coin he earning doing that honored task. He learned spells of detection and obfuscation while hiding and manipulating the traps of the tombs.
He set off to the North in search of a bandit who made off with an elven moonblade, and intends to return it to the rightful owner or die trying.
The Drow: Talonia Barriarn
See Emperor's description below:
The Mercenary: Thorkil Ulfrikson
See Valkyrie's description below:
Well, after looking, this one seems the obvious choice, but since its just a custom portrait with no in game stats that I am aware of, it wont work.

CN Drow Priestess (Cleric), Talonia Barriarn
She's actually only half drow, but that is her own personal secret. She's the former owner of the moonblade as it was passed down from her father's side of the family. She wants it back and has hired Aarsin because she liked the sound of his name, being a worshiper of the gods of Fire and so forth.
She's just as happy to be off adventuring for the blade again though because she would rather earn it and give the sword value than have it just become an heirloom of dwindling significance.

ReplyDeleteHuman Warrior (Fighter), Thorkil Ulfrikson
A mercanary from the north, Thorkil adventured to the southern lands after being told of the easy work, and vast amounts of gold to be earned by anyone who knew which way to point an axe. After five years of fighting other people's fights for pay he has desided it's about time he headed homeward once more. Though he'd happily offer his skills to those willing to pay, and be happier still to find the destination happened to be in the direction he was headed.

ReplyDeleteDwarf Cleric, Varnfr Gurnisson
Steeped in the lore of his people from an early age, Varnfr is a dedicated Cleric of Moradin. As Moradin is in all things, so must Varnfr's journey take him to places unexpected. Fiercely loyal, as is the custom of his people, you could not wish for a more dependable ally.
Likes: Beer, Moradin, Shiny things
Dislikes: Kobolds

ReplyDeleteMab Severin
NG Human Evoker
A staunch agnostic, Mab vacillates between baiting the group's two clerics with faith-testing and mildly blasphemous question, and rolling her eyes when one of them so much as refers to their deity.
She is headstrong, vulgar, and decidedly unladylike. She has a sublimated lady-boner for Thorkil, though considers, among the group, only Aarsin as her intellectual equal. She discovered her natural talent for evocation as a child, using cantrips to torment the dog. She would like to think she has outgrown her sadistic streak.
