"Rapier - Attack:+6 |Damage: 1D8 |Crit: 19-20x2"

Golem, you're off on the rapier stats. That looks like a longsword.

Ah yes...

1D6, 18-20. I'll fix that now.

Yes, I do believe I will be playing as a cleric, though I'm going to go check that paladin variant you were speaking of, Seraphine. I love paladins, but the basic class is kind of, shall I say, bland.

Quote from: Team Discovery ChannelSweet! Nothing but swashbucklers and fighters with low wisdom scores. This is gonna be the most impulsive party ever.
"umm you see some suspicious soldiers of the oppressive regime..."
"dibs on the chandelier!"
"no' i'm swing attacking on it"
"nuh-uh. i called dibs"
"well i attack cool way accompanied by much witty repartee"

(awesome!)

we can be the five musketeers!
I get a bonus to wisdom, so I'll probably be the one shaking his head while saving you guys from your antics. Should be fun.

I call dibs on Porthos.

Although for me, i would totally call Dibs on Cyrano instead of one of the musketeers (as evidenced by my guy's last name. I freaking love Cyrano de Beregerac. It's so amazing)

*nods*

I went to see Seraphine in Cyrano. He was the most excellent actor there.

*looks up, hoping for a similar blessing, such as, say, a bonus feat? :P*

Well, it that case . . .

Wait. Prove it. Prove you came.

I never did Cyrano or any more classic plays like that.
I've mostly performed plays of more contempory authors like David Mamet and Harold Pinter (they're awesome), as well as by Daniel MacIvor (my favourite person in the whole wide world).
Also did a few plays by Elmar Maripau - my former drama teacher's husband and an excellent playwright to boot.

Most of the stuff i've performed have been ones written by myself or friends of mine though. (i miss writting plays. I should start again).

would have loved to do Cyrano, though. It's fabulous. (i am so jealous of you)

Character Background and Description
Cruvagn was born 112 years ago in Sylvaea, specifically a small village called Zhuinthamum not far from the border of Bizhentluus. Cruvagn's father was a druid, one of note or so he was told. His mother was an apothecary, and with her he spent most of his time as a child. He had two elder brothers, both of which were keen on giving him a hard time. They too practiced druidism. When Cruvagn was less than two decades old, his rough elder brothers held him down and tattooed a rather crude image of a mistletoe onto his right shoulder blade, laughing and saying it meant that he was going to die. Cruvagn always resented them, watching other elves and knowing that these two were among the few that behaved like such animals.

Zhuinthamum was a center for druidism. A large Temple of the Oak overlooked the village and many came to visit it. Therefore, none should have been surprised when a small raiding party from Bizhentluus, the seed that would later become the Inquisition, tracked several powerful druids, people they were terming terrorists, to Zhuinthamum. The town was razed and a few were captured. The rest either escaped or fell beneath hoove and blade. With luck, Cruvagn was captured. He knew that his brothers had been captured and his mother slain by a stray arrow, but he never found out what became of his brothers afterwards. Cruvagn, still young at 30 years of age, was claimed by a squire named Kiuss deth Lorainne. Cruvagn was treated well under Kiuss, and two years later the human became Sir Kiuss deth Lorainne.

For sixty years, until Sir Kiuss could do virtually nothing for himself, Cruvagn served him. Kiuss taught Cruvagn as a brother. Kiuss taught Cruvagn of the One God and of Anahita, the angel of life. Yet Cruvagn also learned of the other angels, and quickly realized that these were truer than anything elven society had taught him. He became dedicated to Anahita yet never scorned any other angel. However, Kiuss was closely associated with many inquisitors, and so Cruvagn learned of Bethor. While the teachings sometimes conflicted, Cruvagn knew that all was necessary for the greater good.

Cruvagn eventually befriended Kiuss's daughter, Oriwyn, and later her son, Hevilus. Kiuss died 23 years ago, just as his grandson, Hevilus, was reaching thirty. Hevilus and Cruvagn too became close friends, finding many traits similar between Kiuss and Hevilus. When Hevilus went northward to join the war, it was only a couple weeks before Oriwyn, whom Cruvagn loved dearly, asked Cruvagn to go forth and protect her son. Cruvagn left Bizhentluus for the first time since his capture and made his way to Caervenfor, where he joined the militia.

Cruvagn carries himself completely upright, as he was taught by Kiuss. Due to this his full elven height is seen, making him considerably over six feet tall. His ears are long and eyes slanted, and his skin has a light tanned tone to it. His eyes are a vibrant green and he keeps his light brown hair well groomed and pulled behind him into a ponytail. He wears vibrant field plate that is crested in gold. Both his armor and his kite shield have images of the angel Anahita on them. He often wears a helm with large finned ears. On his left side are belt are two short swords, longknives as he calls them, and he keeps a flail on his back, slanting down, with the large, mace-like head of the flail also attached to his belt. He keeps his bow on his back, just under his filled packpack.
