[Lloth]

As an example to all--and to make my own life easier for when I start to role-play myself--here is the survey filled out for Lloth:

Name: Lloth
Age: Unknown, she has existed since the beginning
Gender: Female
Height: 5'7"
Eye color: Silver grey
Hair color: Raven black
Skin tone: Caramel/tanned
Scars or distinguishing features: A very thin, black, ravine-like tattoo along her cheeks and over her nose, very much like my avatar
Race: Goddess
Kingdom: Kheleksii, mainly, though her sight stretches to all kingdoms
Personality: Deception is not something that Lloth bothers with, but she does enjoy subtlety and a good game of cat and mouse. She cares not at all for the wishes of others, only for those of herself. No matter what it takes she must always have what she wants. And of course, as the dark goddess that she is, she does not care who gets wounded in order for her to get end results. There is no warmth in her, but cold aloofness, indifference to all feelings (for she herself is devoid of them, especially love and kindness, which she believes are things that only weaklings--the Endar mostly--care about) even those of her husband.
Biography (at least 2 paragraphs): With creation, so came to be Lloth along with the rest of the gods. Her being was born corrupted by the ways of darkness and evil, and such still holds sway over her to this day, an existence that she embraces completely. As goddess, she does not change her ways, but only further works to master them over those that fall into her clutches. Cast to the role of Dark Maiden and Goddess of Shadows, she is the enemy of Eilistraee, Light Maiden as well as Great Mother, and her own sister.

The weavings of her power were at one point cast over all the kingdoms, until her foundation settled in Kheleksii, where she is most powerful. This was not done because she has no strength over the other realms, but because Lloth bids her time for the moment when she might strike up the strength inside her again to send terror to the other peoples. Control as the one that she possesses eventually lent her the ability to command her own husband, Vhaerun, the Masked God of Night and Master of the Underworld. And as she further stretched her entangling webs, so she controlled also her two sons, Pelekta (Element of Fire) and Rauko (Daemon Element). Though one of her biggest disappointments stems from the marriage of Rauko to Amin Quella, the Element of Air, therefore 'good'.

Following in her designs she shows herself to the people of Kheleksii whenever it is of importance to her--or whenever it might benefit her. It was in this way that she became their goddess, their leader, the one they love above all else. So grand was this worship of her that there is an entire race--the Shadows--which are followers of her. They, with her aid and blessings, have their very own underground assassin guilds and slave markets, overlooked by her sight at all times to make sure that things run as smoothly as they may. And accompanied to this are the beings that lend her the last of her titles: Queen of the Spiders. Organized and bred to life through her schemes, they are her own private army, half Edan and half spider, slowly empowered more and more each day of their existence until the time when she might need them to work to her full satisfaction.

[Eilistraee]

Name: Eilistraee
Age: Infinite, was there in the beginning.
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6"
Eye color: Deep green
Hair color: Light blonde
Skin tone: Ivory, flawless
Scars or distinguishing features: Scar in the shape of a star and moon on inside of right wrist.
Race: Goddess
Kingdom: Rules anyone with good intentions of the heart.
Personality Eilistraee is very easy going. She takes evildoings seriously, but is always willing to help her people when they are in need. She carries all the cares of the world, and everything in the land holds a touch of her love and care. Well, that which has not being overtaken by Lloth. Though she still carries a great love for those who have turned away from the light, and endevours daily to win them back to the right side.
Biography (at least 2 paragraphs):

Eilistraee was there in the beginning of time. She could never really say how she was created, or how she came to view the land that was the City of Refuge from her home in the skies. She could only say that as soon as her conscious knowledge came about, so did a feeling of great power. She was there not long when she was joined by another three beings. One, her sister who eventually turned from the light and became her enemy, with another of the gods marrying one of the males gods that had arrived with her sister. She herself, eventually married one.

It wasn't long before Eilistraee realised her purpose in the land. That she was a mother to all that lived and breathed, well, those who had not been turned to her sisters side.

More to come Have to run off for a little bit and do some stuff around the house. Shall edit more in.

[Ander Freemark]

Name: Ander Freemark
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8''
Eye color: Dark Blue
Hair color: Auburn
Skin tone: Medium-tanned
Scars or distinguishing features: A cleft chin; a diagonal scar upon his cheek from when a slave assaulted him years ago.
Race: Edan
Kingdom: Port Llast
Personality: Easy-going but a ready leader.
Biography (at least 2 paragraphs): Ander Freemark was born on a bright winter's morning to Arthur and Leah Freemark. Ander's father was the first ruler of the port city and maintained that rule for many years thus Ander grew up as a privledged and respected lad. The town voted him as successor to rulership after the elder drowned in the port waters one stormy night, trying to save a few dock hands; his mother had long passed away from sickness and no one knew any better than smart and able Ander to lead.

His father was a good man but never stopped believing or managing the slave trade; Ander, like his late mother, is not one much for slavery but he finds himself unable to abolish forced servitude in the port. The town would never let him live for that - literally. The young Freemark has ruled Port Llast for about six years now and counting; he is unmarried and lives within Ulmir, a small pearl and marble palatial mansion estate, on a green rise overlooking the town.

[Eryndil]

Name: Eryndil
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Height: 6'4"
Eye color: Forest Green
Hair color: Blond
Skin tone: Deeply tanned
Scars or distinguishing features: He has elaborate tattoos spiraling up his arms and across his chest.
Race: Dinaer
Kingdom: Silmataurea
Personality: Mysterious to those outside his race. Amongst his people he is easy-going.
Biography (at least 2 paragraphs): From an early age Eryndil showed that he already had all the skills ~ especially archery ~ and cunning needed to make him an exceptional leader amongst his people. Then during his 18th year he was able to show this to the fullest when the forces of darkness launched a surprise invasion upon the eastern border of his wooded home of Silmataurea during which Barandin ~ the ruler at that time ~ was felled mid-way through the heavy onslaught. Without hesitation Eryndil assumed the command and rallied his people to him before leading a fierce counter charge that drove the evil filth from the woods and sent those still living running for their miserable lives.

After that day Eryndil was naturally accepted as Barandin’s successor and for the next 17 years he has ruled his people with a just kindness while showing to any outsider who dare disturb the peace of his home land a fierceness that is swift and harsh. He has by choice remained unmarried all this time much to the chagrin of those with lovely daughters and when not busy with the daily tasks of ruling Eryndil can usually be found somewhere nearby either lounging up in the high branches of a tall tree or down by a stream while he plays a small wooden flute.

[Lloth]

Eilistraee, can't wait to see your bio .

Ander, it'd be great to see just one more little paragraph to the one that you already have, and you'd be ready to go.

Eryndil, that's fantastic. You're set!

[Ander Freemark]

Thanks for the poke, Lloth; must be a model to the members.

Welcome to the site, Eryndil !

[Ruya]

Name: Ruya
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
Height: 5'9"
Eye color: Grey
Hair color: White
Skin tone: Very fair
Scars or distinguishing features: Nearly always clothed in white.
Race: Dinaerea (the Silent Ones)
Kingdom: Silmataurea
Personality: Contemplative and mysterious, Ruya feels a deep connection with nature, moreso than she does with other beings. Others (especially the Voiced Ones) may often find her cold at first; however, Ruya is gifted with a kind heart and forms strong attachments to those she knows well. Her coldness towards the Voiced Ones stem from past hurts they have caused to the natural environment around her and she is careful in her dealings with them.
Biography (at least 2 paragraphs): Ruya was born at the edges of the hallowed grounds of her people, near the place called the Stone Circle. It was evident early on that she took after her mother, for she was a serious child. However, she remembers her young years as her most joyful as she explored the Starlit Woods and there, formed a deep connection with all living things. Like her elders, she developed a profound respect for nature and animals, such that she would harm no living creature.

As an adult now, she knows war and destruction as the greatest of evils and weeps for the ones she cannot heal. Her skills of telepathy allow her to communicate with her own kind and she admits to enjoying the slight disquiet she can instill in others who do not understand her gift. The Voice Ones are always so unsettled... While she still appears cold at times, in recent years she has tried to be less judgmental of the other races, for she believes that it is only in communicating with one another that they will begin to understand her cause and perhaps begin to respect everything around them. It is thus with silent words rather than a sharp sword that she rules alongside Eryndil.

[Lloth]

Ruya, that was a fantastic character survey. Approved.

[Ristin]

Name: Ristin
Age: 250
Gender: Male
Height: 5' 10"
Eye color: Light blue
Hair color: Blonde
Skin tone: White
Scars or distinguishing features: Avergae looking, slightly beady eyes, gets a nervous tic when sale is close
Race: Edan
Kingdom: Mostly follows Port of Llast
Personality: Trade. Always about the big score. He talks quickly and always tries to make a point. A seemingly friendly fellow, but will stab most people in the back for a few bucks. Not a big believer in violence (his favorite motto is "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent").
Biography (at least 2 paragraphs): Born of a rather poor family in Port Llast, he quickly learned the value of money. He showed an aptitude towards commerce and became a major player in all trade. Disdaining politics, he is not above bribing.

These traits haven't won him many friends among the law. However, he is recognized as a true power and is rarely approached directly. But despite this, he mantains a direct hand in all of his trades. He also often goes on trade missions to seek out new markets and customers. A consumate diplomat, he is comfortable in almost any enviroment, from the most crude and hostile, to the most refined and cold.

[Lloth]

Ristin, that's a very interesting character you have created. You're approved as well.

[Verdani]

Name: Verdani
Age: 2,123
Gender: Female
Height: 5'10"
Eye color: Bright blue

Skin tone: Pale, but with a healthy glow
Scars or distinguishing features: Other than being extremely beautiful, since there are rumors that her race is a lesser form of gods.
Race: Hyandae en'luhta
Kingdom:Pilin en'templa
Personality: Verdani is rather unusual. She can be aloof with people she dislikes, yet warm and friendly with those she does. (Yeah, she can be mean and condescending when she's in the mood for it.) She is highly intelligent, and a powerful mage/sorceress/wielder of magic. She likes the study of the arcane and esoteric, but is also normal in other aspects. She regularly gets close to blowing herself and other things to bits.

She showed extreme talent from an early age, and loved to learn and experiment. She was sent to study at the university earlier than most, and quickly learned all that they could teach her. After that, she went in search of more knowledge, traveling in disguise to the other realms and learning what they knew.

Eventually she returned and established herself in her birthplace as one of the most powerful wielders of magic in Pilin. Verdani has a home not far from that of her parents, which she shares with her sister, Urda. She now teaches at the university, where she also continues to experiment and pass on whatever she learns.

[Lloth]

That's a character that I would certainly like to learn more about as you RP along, Verdani. 'Tis accepted.
