Jules Panon
Jungle Elf, Young Adult Male, Barbarian 5/Shaman 3
Languages (Literate): Elven, Goblin
Appearance: Jules is a tall elven man with nearly pale skin, apart from a strong greenish hue that seems to radiate from his veins.  At a little over 5 feet Jules is taller than most others of his race, but still small in stature, weighing in at 115 pounds.  Jules is wiry and ever alert, with an almost nervous look about him, always expecting something to be jumping out of the bushes at him.  He carries a finely crafted bastard sword, as well as a strong shield and a glistening chain shirt.  Atop his armor and on normal days Jules wears greenish-tinted clothing that seems to bring out his airy and aloof nature.  Dangling by a few long strings off his back is an odd-looking item, created through the fastening of long-worked and re-used bones, fastened together by straps in the make of a helm.  It is dyed a deep red.
Description: Strong, tough, and very nimble, Jules is a skilled elven warrior who rarely suffers a wound, with only rare moments where the fact that he's mortal is actually evident.  Though his battle fury is dangerous, he too often lets his anger get the better of him in combat, so he wastes many an attack flailing away in rage.  Jules has a strong personality and a bit of cunning, but they only show through intermittently, as he often lapses into quiet contemplation or fuming over the situation.  His barbarian upbringing as a jungle elf is often obvious by his garb and lack of understanding for civilized society.  Whether he's bitter or not, over the lot of his people in recent centuries, none could say.  His savvy as an adventurer though is obvious, and he's accumulated a variety of trinkets and plunder from his many victories.  Jules is skilled at moving about, surviving, and finding his way in the wilderness, and is also quite alert to his surroundings.  He makes good use of his people's natural magic and climbing expertise.  Though a warrior born and bred, Jules has also slowly found new strength in pacts with the spirits of nature, lending him even greater power and toughness from these patron spirits.
Background (OOC): Jules was born into a family that, before the fall, was quite well to do.  After the fall his family was left destitute, and alone, without the skills to survive.  Their prayers were answered when a young elven man wandered upon the families' encampment and they agreed to work together for mutual benefit.  Many years later Jules was born.  It is unknown which of the two men is his father, but what was known was that Jules had a rage unmatched.  Learning as he grew, the ways of fighting and the ways of gentlemanship, Jules ended up getting in quite a bit of fights.  As his education grew he went off on hunts with the unknown man, which was nearly the only way for the family to continue being fed.  On many occasions Jules took down beasts that would make even the stranger proud.  In Jules' early adult years, the man was killed by a marauding band of orcs which Jules finished off, while they were on a hunting trip.  From that day on, Jules swore that he would do all he could to make sure every orc was without their father.  After making this pledge, Jules left his mom and his "dad" and went off to pursue his goals.  Many years later Jules has nearly created a name for himself in this world and has a long necklace of orc teeth as proof.  His adventures took him closer and closer to Baram unknowingly, but Jules had the sense that something was nearing.

Karil
Gilden Human, Young Teenage Male, Spirit Sorcerer 9
Languages (Literate): Gilden, Orcish, Elven
Appearance: Karil is a homely boy, perhaps somewhere between 13 and 15.  His brown hair is long and wild, matching his brown eyes.  His clothing is poor, and a bit used, little more than a plain black shirt.  His shorts only reach his knees, staying well clear of his lower legs.  He wears no shoes or boots, and has a circular scar on his ankles.  There are a couple of other scars on his arms and legs.
Description: In the works.
Background (OOC): Karil was kidnapped from his home as a young boy of only 5.  He doesn't remember his parents or home, only the years of slavery for an elderly elf.  This elf was a cruel taskmaster, forcing the boy to complete tasks he was not yet ready for physically.  He would also periodically subject the boy to being a test subject for various magical experiments.  To allow the boy to work with the least amount of need from the wizard, Karil was gifted with a magic ring.  It sustained him, allowing him to work without eating or drinking, and needing but a few hours' sleep each night.  The ring was as much a blessing as a curse, for he could not remove it, and with the extra hours awake to work, he was enslaved that much more.  The elf lived deep in the jungle, far from any other civilized populus.  The dangers of the jungle were great, and to dissuade escape further, the mage placed a curse on the boy, a mark at the boy's ankle.  Placing or wearing anything that went below the mark caused him great pain, and without shoes or boots, it would make escape very difficult indeed.

As the years passed, Karil was not idle.  He despised this life, but he knew he could not escape alone, not without help in some way.  He found that help while looking through his master's library.  He read of spirits, the essence of all things in the world.  For every object or effect, there is a spirit within, he discovered.  And then he found the greatest clue of all, that one could create a connection to the spirits, and call upon them to aid the summoner.  This was the hope he was looking for, perhaps with the help of the spirits he might escape this place.  He studied how to summon the spirits, and his first spirit was perhaps his greatest aid in surviving his last year under the mage's enslavement.  The Repair spirit, a spirit who spends its' time repairing all things, was the first he summoned, and he used it in a mending task the mage had set him to.  After that, there were others, until finally he felt he had what he needed to survive the trek through the jungle, and while the elder elf rested in reverie, he escaped.  The moment was short-lived.

He should have known the mage had a way of locating him.  Even as Karil traversed the jungle, the ground became sharp, biting into his bare feet, and the trees suddenly had webbing strewn between them, which he stumbled into.  He was held captive there, until the mage appeared before him.  With an almost gleeful sneer, the mage reached his hand out to the boy, and Karil once again knew pain as the mage's hand alone seemed to dig into his chest.  Karil blacked out, even as he thought he heard the mage removing Karil's own heart.  He truly thought himself dead, and yet released from the mage.  He awoke to reality.....  He was alive.  He didn't know how, or why.  A quick check of himself revealed everything as it was before, the ankle scar and the ring were both still there.  His chest bore a large scar in the middle of it now, but he could still feel his heart beating in his chest...... perhaps what he heard was only the sound of his heart in his ears as he thought he was dying.  Still, he was wounded.  His feet were torn by the sharp thorns before the web, and Karil was alone, deep in the jungle still.  It took three more days to finally struggle out of the jungle, but he was free.  There was no sign of the mage who had held him captive for so many years.  He looked out and now had to decide.......what to do next?
