Comments:
Dekrain is the Son of Darkness, holding to himself the Power of Utu, and has a dark air about him, though he is a great family man and enjoys the company of those greater than himself. He doesn't smile much, and his eyes seem to pierce through the soul of the person he is watching, but it is mostly show from his position on the Isle of Kanatch (a small, previously uncharted island in the Sea of Dread). He was not always this way. Once, he ran with some of the greatest heroes of the Age, making himself both friends and enemies withing thier ranks. He went on a quest to the fabled Raven Isle, making himself a legend in the eyes of the people, but as a nec omancer, it was a dark Legend that few would tell. Shunned from the world as an evil, distrought man, Kole flung himself over to madness, wielding the powers of necromancy as a child would a toy. He died for that, at a mere fifty seven (he was an elf before what he calls "The Change") and was resurected b the guild to bend to thier will. Currently, Kole seeks to dominate the world at large and has many planns on how to do just that...

Comments:
Lynx was a diabolic warrior monk who was exposed to shadow magic. Shadow magic is a form of magic that was outlawed and everyone that new how to use the magic was killed during the time of a thousand magic's. Magus, accidently discovered the magic and t ught my character, Lynx, how to use it as well. In the end of the adventure magus was trying to summon an old one and I was apprentice/helper. The summoning back fired (Due to the rest of the group trying to stop us) and a big explosion took place causi g amnesia to Lynx and to Magus. We were both teleported to a different dimension. I have not been in contact with him in the new dimension and have spent the rest of my time trying to find a book that will once again give me back the shadow magic. I ha e an obsession, trying to get back the magic, hence the name "Shadow" and "Magus"

I've played this character for the last 5 years or so. He's 7th level, and now has his own kingdom. I'm also thinking about retireing him because he's so powerful. My idea is to have him marry Amberle, which is another character of mine that grew up wi h him. Then they could rule the kingdom, and I could make their son or daughter as a player character and play it.

Viscount Gresst of the Sorell eandroth tribe, Champion of Ra, former Faerie Knight, and current ruler of the Shifting Sands region of the Kathrik Kingdom. - 08/13/98 20:46:13
Race/Class: Eandroth Rouge; 6th lvl. Faerie Knight & 5th lvl. Noble (was also a 4th level Fire Warlock).
Age/Sex: 71, Male
Physical Description: The Viscount is a eandroth, a humanoid saurian creature with a toothy muzzle, toed stance on backwards bent legs, clawed hands and feet, and a long thick tail. Being in the rogue stage of his life, he has dark green skin whic is loose and wrinkled, mostly around the eyes and forehead. His build is that of a circus muscle man, which makes him look huge for his relatively short size of around five feet. His face, though horribly mangled, has managed to keep somewhat of a nobl appearance (stout and smooth nosed head held high, with deep yellow eyes which show a personal honour). A blackish red scar of a human hand lays over his left eye, snout, and forehead. Along the sides of his snout, both above and below his mouth, from is cheeks to the tip, are long horizontal scars which bare the resemblance of a giant bite mark (well, nip). The skin on Gressts left hand has been deformed, destroying the natural pattern. Along both his chest and back are small white marks in a oval p tten (yet more bite marks). He has stiffness and slight ache in his joints caused by various gravious wounds over the years.
Weapon of Choice: Canticle; A Holy Blade of Light & Darkness. A Ankh is on hilt, and it glows a golden yellow.
Items of Note: Storm Eye; A eandroth double-bladed knife with blades of flame. Dragon Tooth Necklace; 8 small teeth, and one large on in the centre with a inset dime sized ruby. Golden Scarab Ring; Given by Ra to show that Gresst is one of his ch mpions.
E-Mail Adress: SBEROBIN@netcom.ca

Comments:
Gresst is (in short) a virtuous, good hearted wanderer. Oft he comes off as unfriendly, but is really just very private and secrative. Unlike most heros, he would rather go unknown and is anything but a glory hound. The thought of other people speaking of his exploits uneases him, and being reclusive, he'd rather not be recognized at all. This stems from his own ideals of modesty but mostly from his own, flawed past; in specific, his fall out with the Brotherhood of Fire Warlocks durring the Western Em ires great war campaign of the Prophet War. Though this matter is resolved legally, this wound is still deep. The war itself also had a traumatic effect, with the loss of Gressts mentor and friend Root, along with almost losing his own life. He'd prefe people not know of his sad history, and has told only his close friends about it in detail. Also, the war put a kind of bloodlust into Gresst, and since that infamous day of his falling out with the Brotherhood (some 40 years ago), he has taken only two prisoners in combat. He's also a dirty fighter now, going for vulnerable spots and quick kills. His own confidance of himself in battle has also grown, too much, and he is very daring, taking chances against insurmountable odds and choosing the most tr ing of tasks. Luckly, he doesn't draw the blade with ease, and it's a task to get him angry. Through all this he has managed to (barely) keep his honour, the second most important thing in his life. With recent events and revelations that came to him, e's gained a bit of his personal honour back, and feels that it is no longer slowly dwindling away. His main motive behind his honour is to do good, of course, any way possiable. Well at least what he thinks of as good, being sometimes bad for others. is personal honour is second to only one thing; his friends and his love for them, something he has only recently realized. Though modest, he does like to display his wealth (with fists full of rings, a dragon tooth necklace, braclets, and other jewlery) and endulge in his luxurious life as a noble. The display of wealth is for intimidation and not boasting, he endulges himself little, and is very generous; perhaps a bit to linient with giving away his money and valuables. Bad things repeatedly seem to h ppen to Gresst, at least he thinks so, and he also has the tendancy to jump to conclusions and to run away from his problems (loathing on them later, leaving them unresolved). As for his history...I wouldn't know where to begin. (Already submitited for the Character Contest, but I would like this version to be used instead if possiable. Sorry for submiting him again.)

Weapon of Choice: Kinsite Longsword

Comments:
His clan had been very adept at fighting great evils and had a number of enemies. A magically tailored plague swept through the Atlantians on his homeworld, only killing those of his clan, and he was the last to be affected by it, and to preserve the clan s heritige, he was placed into a stasis chamber, hidden in a rather large pyramid. Within 2 days he was the last of his clan and just hours after being placed in the pyramid a huge Splugorth Raiding fleet quickly struck the demoralized Atlantians and afte 2 months of a very bloody war, the last of the Atlantians escaped through the pyramids. A little over 400 years later a Splugorth High Lord discovered the sleeping Atlantian and had him secreted away into a Transmutation chamber and purged of the deadly lague. The High Lord took the young child directly to his Splugorth master and described his plan of taking the last Atlantian of a noble clan and training him in the arts of assassination and eventually he'd be sent out to assassinate Atlanians, and othe trouble makers. The Splugorth loved the idea and sent the boy immedietly to a Gun Brother training camp and thus Denaes was trained from the aged of 6 until 17 to become a deadly assassin, and for total loyalty to the Gun Brothers, and then he was put in o stasis and sent away to a Gene Splicer for alterations. The Gene Splicers' were perplexed and had to clone him and killed 13 clones trying to figure out the subtle differences between Atlantian and Human as well as what caused this problem of not being ble to be transformed... Subtly, they altered his genes one at a time and after 2 years was sent back, looking the same as ever, although he seemed to have an ageless quality about him. After being trained further in incorporating his new 'gifts' into his work, he was sent out to assassinate a governor of planet who owed an excess of 30 million credits to a debtor and was making no attempt to work out a deal. Denaes managed to kill the Governor without implicating himself and not killing his mistrissess wh were over at the time. His partner told him that he took a great risk, and on the trip back to the camp, Denaes had described his doubts about continuing along this course. His partner immedietly relayed Denaes's thoughts to the proper authorities and De aes was promply taked into custody. After a grueling interrogation he was placed on the extermination list and promply escaped. Since his escape he still feels a loyalty towards the Brothers, but had killed 32 would be assassins sent to off him. He has jo ned a mercinary company on Phase World and generally has propelled them from a guard/bloodbath status into the limelight of Merc Groups, and many an employer has made him job offers, and asked him to perform many unsavory acts, but he has declined all. He only takes a job to protect innocents, or the downtrodden and prevent war. On many an occasion he's paid the bill for a contract himself to protect the defenseless from supernatural threats...

Comments:
Arsenal, or at least that's what he calls himself nowadays, is a Wolfen mercenary soldier who has wandered the Northern wilderness and Eastern Territories with his best friend and companion, Sir Korel, an Elven Palladin of the Kingdom of Arramaine, for ab ut ten years. He avoids talking about about himself but it is known that he had a falling out with an officer in the Wolfen Army, and had to escape to avoid court martial and execution. After two years of wandering the Northern Wilderness, he met up with Korel in a oadside tavern. Both were trying to hit on the same Human woman (Arsenal, due to a childhood incident, has an aversion to females of his own kind.). They hit it off almost immediately and together had several adventures. It is rumored that they were th ones who killed the dread Fire Dragon, Cyrrinac, but they won't say who slew her... Their travels are the stuff of folk tales and fireplace legends. Not all are true, but they'll never tell you which are and which aren't...

Weapon of Choice: minor holy mace aquired his training.
Items of Note: none other than those aquired from training as an undead hunter.

Comments:
Greyfen MacElhaney Ironmaul was born in the Old Kingdom mountains in a small town where his family made a living as the local smithies. He is the fourth born with the eldest being his sister and then two older brothers. His family agreed (with a little he p from Greyfen himself)that thier youngest deserved a better and fuller life than what thier small town had to offer. The family sent Greyfen off with a knight that was passing through in the hopes that he would someday become a proud knight himself.Littl did Greyfen or his family know was that the knight was (and still is) one of the founding fathers of the schools/training centers for the undead hunters. So it was that Greyfen would be trained (willingly) as a slayer of the minions of darkness and the monsters of evil in all forms. Greyfen travels alone as of yet. On his way back to his family he encountered a small village that was enslaved by a vampire and his minions. Barely vanquising the vile creature and living to tell of it he has made his family proud and yet dissapointed for he has forsanken his races age ld pledge to shun the ways of the mystic arts. Greyfen sees his use of magic as a means to a greater end. Greyfen does not display his knowledge of magic to any other dwarf out of respect for his peoples beleifs and views and out of fear of ostrization fr m those of his kind. Greyfen is a proud,gruff and to the point dwarf with the temperment and patience of someone beyond his years.

Age/Sex: 32/Male
Physical Description: Tall and Muscular with Silver Hair
Weapon of Choice: Psi-Sword
Items of Note: Triax giant rifle, (extremely slow) E-clip recharger, Amulet of winged flight

Comments:
Since rifting into the middle of a rather one sided fight (one human lvl1 knight vs almost 100 goblins and 5 Wolfen Warriors). Sir Rakir has saved a village maiden from the noble merchant who kidnapped her after she refused to marry him, and then was abl to save the town from the noble's fury after being thwarted. However, after a ill met battle with the noble's local wizard, Sir Rakir was forced to flee and swore vengance if anything happened to ANY of the villagers or thier families. Sir Rakir's no n nsense approach to evil has caused him many problems and made him many enemies (some of which are rather powerful). Sir Rakir lives by the Cyber-Knight Code to the letter for it was the Cyber-Knights and Lord Coake that raised him after his parents were s ain fighting a dragon when he was just a baby. He come to the Palladium world seeking to do good and find any clues he can. All he has of his parents is a ring with an unknown crest on it. Sir Rakir was told by a misterious nymph that an Isle to the fa west might hold some answers for him, but before Sir Rakir could ask for more information the nymph vanished back into the forest. After paying for passage on a merchant vessel to go to the west, the ship wrecked on an unmapped island surrounded by cons ant storms and ruler from under ground caverns by a powerful demon lord. The storms prevent any ships from leaving and will not cease until the demon lord is slain (unfortunately I have not played far enough into the campaign for my character to learn th cause of the storms or how to make them stop).

Comments:
Bridgette began her adventures when she met her best friend, Daxon Santone, son of Tysa Santone. He was an orphan in the village where she lived and was raised in by the owner of the Inn where her mother worked. The two became fast friends due to their ommon, "colorful" personalities. As they grew older, they went on many adventures. With (a couple of NPC's) Vance the acrobat/ knife thrower as company and the Elvin Mage, Lewellyn Moonshadow as their guide. Then, one strange day, an unknown woman came to the Inn, she claimed to be Daxon's mother, the same Tysa Santone that had been dead for nearly twenty years. It was hard to believe at first, but the 19 year old Tysa soon proved to be, indeed, the source f Daxon's adventurous character. Now, with Daxon staying behind to tend the Inn, Bridgette is off on new adventures with the mysteriously ressurected Tysa. Once again reunited with the old group, Tysa, Bridgette, Lewellyn and Vance, along with new players and the ever present NPC's to ake life more interesting, only time will tell what lay ahead.

I purchased a few acres next to my parents and built a home for my self and my wife Aeowyn. She grew up in Haywater a small village nearby. W have known each other since we were small. I have two sons and two daughters. The eldest two Arianna and Stal have gone to make a name for themselves in the wild lands. Arianna is a great sorceress and Stal is a minstrel who wields a sword as well as e wields his voice. The younger children have stayed home. Stor has grown strong and helps around the farm and Kia is the joy of her mothers heart. We have made a name for ourselves in our small part of the world and that is sufficient.

Comments:
Unlike most RAIDERS I perfer to make friends and manipulate everbody to achieve what ever I want instead of stealing .I have traversed the megaverse and made "Friends" with an Acient Great Horned Dragon named Char,a Sowki named Zirch,and last but not leas A Godling named Anpeht the only son of the god named Thoth and Maat . The best con I ever pulled off was to get a copy of the Tristine Cronicles and take it to another dimension so I could reprint it, and spend 1,000,000 in gems so it looks real. Iwold t en take them all over the Megaverse to sell for 24,000,000 . The only problem was to not flood the market with to many so as not to bring to much of a spotlight to my scams!!! BUT BEWARE I AM ALWAYS AROUND THE CORNER .YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT IS ME WHO IS SC MING YOU.

Character Name: Shtephi
Race/Class: Changling/Wizard
Age/Sex: 48/na
Physical Description: Has three forms:A wise and kind old human male, a Diabolic elven seductress and a whining goblin child.
Weapon of Choice: Prefers to use magic
Items of Note: Enchanted throwing axe and enchanted throwing knife

Comments:
Shtephi started out her life of adventure as a perfectly sane changling. However her greed for wealth and power lead her to a terrible missuse of enchanted cauldrens. Her moral decline was a result of her constantly justifying her methods of obtaining m ss amount of huminoid blood. The heeps of insanities she aquired didnt help either. After many years of traveling with a group named Fire and Ice, she ran off to hatch her own schemes. She now resides in a castle in the old kingdom where she controls rmys of orks goblin trolls and other insideous creatures. She is so crazy at this point that she has actually split into three seperate personalities. One is a long bearded very old human wizerd with a wide arsenal of spells (when Shtephi takes this for he thinks he is a prisoner inthe castle). The second is a stunningly beutifull wikedly evil elf who's magic powers are awe inspiering, this is the most promonent personality. The last is a spoiled fat little goblin child. Needles to say Shtephi does no pose much of athreat to anybody as she is quite mad and minions are very, very confused.

Thought to be one of the (if not THE) greatest swordsman of all time. The slayer of dragons, demons, and even the most powerful warriors and mages. Was a general of the army of the Island Kingdom of Storm Gate. He fought with courage, nobility, and unmatc ed skill. Fought in the war against slavery in the eastern territory where he was laid to rest. He battled down to the last and later died of his wounds. A shrine was built in his memory and is now a sight of pilgrimage for nights and palladins all over p lladium.

Comments:
Tysa was the daughter of a wealthy merchant based in the Eastern Kingdom. Although she had all the best money could buy she wasn't happy in her old home. She found the life of a young lady to be tedious and restrictive, so in true thief style she stole aw y from her room one night, never to return as the woman she once was. She was only 14 at the time and life on the streets was rough. Fortunatly a shrewd thief noticed her natural ability at "borowing" things. He took her home and signed her up with his gu ld. She worked for many years under this man, becoming better and better at her special skills of cat burglary. Before too long she also discovered she was a minor psionic, this fact giving her yet another advantage in her work. Soon Tysa became one of th guild's best, because of her past she had valuable insight into the local merchant guild. She gave her fellow thieves good tips on the best times and places to strike the merchants. Unfortunatly, she gave such a tip on the activities of her own family; a d indirectly brought about the death of all but one of her kinsmen. Tysa felt responsible, but she was determined to carry on with her life and not let the past bog her down. Not long after this incident another blow occured to the young thief. She was br tally raped and became pregnant. However, not even this slowed her down, Tysa was determined to carry on. She named her son Daxon and left him to be raised by an Innkeeper who she counted as a friend. Soon even her dangerous life began to seem dull, and T sa realized she needed a change of scene. As fate would have it, right as she was beginning to feel restless she was summoned by a man named Dandego to recover an achient artifact. This led to several years of adventuring with the legedary Llewyn Moonshad w, who at the time wasn't quite so legendary. . .The years she spent with this party were her favorite, she made many friends, and lost three who were closest to her heart. Later on she decided to settle down and started an Inn, bringing the now grown Dax n with her. She spent her last years trying to live up to her former glory and never quite making it. She died defending the memory of her loved ones. If there is one thing that can be said for her life, there was never a dull moment! And yet there is an nfinished feeling about her existance, almost like she wasn't through with what she needed to do, and if there is anything Tysa knew about life, it's that you never know just what might happen. . . .

Age/Sex: 42/m
Physical Description: tall lean fair and bright
Weapon of Choice: staff

Comments:
Born in the north kingdom, and blessed with physical prowess near unmatched it seemed that this soon to be adult was destined to become a great warrior. However fate had other plans for him, for you see, somehow a wizzard hed heard of this young man, and fter consulting the stars and portents had decided to apprentice the young man. Years after he had been kidnapped and trained he finally freed himself and began to wander the palladium world. A score of years went by as the young man mastered his talent in magic, and many learned of his charity and gentle nature. Recently his tale was rather hard as he happened upon a tiny settlement of people not far from the great mountains, they implored him to help free thier small town from its lord and master a c uel mind mage who abbussed them endlessly to amuse himself and entertain his darker desires. Fandral did not hesitate he matched his spells against the evil mentalists powers and the battle did rage for more than three hours as both men attempted to gain an upper hand. In the end Fandrals greater range of abilities did win out however at terrible cost. For in the midst of the great battle a large blue sphere erupted around the combatants and when it disappeared the mentalist lay dead but Fandral could no be found.

The name is Exodus. I am an alien to this planet, but I do not mind living here.

My plans are to conquer this pathetic world and shape it into a powerful planet of conquest. You may ask "why am I giving away my plan like this", my answer is who is there to stop me.

Comments:
Fate is Fickle is the tale Deathblow feels is most appropriate for his life.. born a troll to his mind mage troll mother with 2 brothers he grew up thinking he was a Troll even when he was sent to a monastry of elves and alegidly changelings.. althougth I never saw one (pass another candied nut would you.).. His first adventure brought him to his first and most faithful friend Feyna a princess and a "Scout" they were separated throughout time when one of Set's plots was foiled involving a large number of H b-Goblins invading a dwarven kingdom with a Dragon and a certain deck of cards... He was sent to the far past during the war with the Old Ones where he served his god faithfully even though he did turn up late for the conflict (hmmm where did Xi go??) and so Thoth rewarded him with the oppatunity to find his friends in the far future and past. With this completed he returned to the present in the Yin-Sloth Jungles... imprudent use of the deck of cards lead to the following problems: Turning into a Booted E gle followed closely by a female Night-Elf Faerie, sommoning a Wolfen Dragonboat and then killing a Lizard Mage. He then went onto the marriage of Feyna and her lover a Warlock. Promtly followed by a major Godwar over the Isle of Lopan which promptly sank killing the entire party. Deathblow begged Thoth to intervene and due to luck a 10 year wait the rest of the party were reassembled in The Northern Wilderness. Deathblow looked for a temple of Thoth to enhance his studies and the party in need of a magica resupply travelled to Byzantium where Deathblow was initiated as a priest of Thoth, Feyna was then Shanghied by a suspicious elven Warship and Deathblow has not seen the rest of his party again....

Comments:
I have many stories to tell, my greatest one is that of my battles with a Vampire by the name of Katrina, a foe who even when eemingly destroyed could not be easily be defeated. This epic confrontation has led me and several noble comrades through many la ds and dimensions. These conflicts cost me the use of one arm against a machine being who thought take over my body. If not for my good friend Eliot, I fear all would have been lost. From my jungle home in South America to England, Africa, Norway, Japan, North America and even other dimensions and worlds, I have seen many wonders and mysteries.

He ended up thwarting a Balrog's plans to take over the town with a band of five goblins, hunted the elusive Moodrake (a batwinged cow which breathed fire and didn't give milk), fell in love with an elven thief named Tuile a d became a wizard in his spare time.
