[spoiler=Character]Garuheech
Setting: Jade Stage
Race: Liriss
Gender: Male
Age: 42
Location: Lezhas

Garuheech is a typical Liriss. Without any family, he manages a canal in southern Lezhas day after day. The tolls from merchant ships have kept him rich and comfortable, leaving him time to his hobbies. However, Garuheech is a bit restless. Having spent almost a decade tending the canal, the lack of change has pushed him into a somber mood, reminicent of a mild depression.

Garuheech is slightly overweight and has tan scales, flecked with gold. No major distinguishing marks can be seen. Among warmbloods, Garuheech wears a comfortable silk robe, white with gold trim.[/spoiler]

Alright, i'll post mine. I even made stats, but i'll just post appearances and a small bio.

[spoiler=Character]

Name: Volixis Bloodclaw Ehrjak
Setting: City of Stratton
Race: Kobold
Gender: Male
Age: 38

Volixis is a member of House Gixustrat in Stratton. He has recently become an expert transmuter and architect within the lower house ranks. He has been sent to gather any information he can find on new transmutation spells and architectural or engineering techniques.

Appearance: Volixis typically wears dull red robes, as he has become accustomed to. On his back, he wears a bundle of iron chains from which dangle two old spellbooks and a worn crossbow. A chain also emerges from the bundle to form a leash for his weasel familiar.  Volixis also uses a quarterstaff, the bottom end of which has been fitted with an arrowhead.

[/spoiler]

I think I might use him as an occasional NPC in my own adventures, if Stratton's author is OK with that.
‘Yes, one may live while never leaving their domicile. But then, they aren’t really alive. Exploring, adventuring, becoming a mercenary - whatever one may call it, it is the blood of the world that many are embracing now. Our reach is advanced nearly everyday, and the stars themselves are in our grasp. That is why I, and many others, continue to learn as we do.’

-Cazirife Dee, Captain of the Holy Vyecec (excerpt from the intro to Ifpherion: AoE)

[spoiler=Character]Name: Daann Tnu-aa
Setting: Midgard
Race: Drasil (elf form)
Nation: Horun
Gender: Female
Age: likely 16

Daann was uncovered by a minor acolyte of the dragon god of the sky, Aahh.  She was raised collectively by the templeâ,¬'located in a small transit town in the south-east of Horunâ,¬'and trained extensively in their religion.  Recently Daann decided to make a pilgrimage to the grand temple of Aahh on Mnt. Deepwarren, but she got caught in a snowstorm, heading toward what she thought was a lone mountain lodge and stumbling into the Open Door Inn.

Appearance: Daann looks like an adolescent female human with thin, 2-inch ears that change angle depending on her mood.  The only feature that distinguishes her as a plant is the fern leaves that grow in place of her hair.  Her main item of clothing is a long fur cloak, but she also has on a wool shirt and pants.[/spoiler]
I'm a muck-levelist, I like to see things from the bottom.

[spoiler=Character]
Name: Stareth
Setting: Jade Stage
Race: Liriss
Gender: Female
Age: 45

Stareth was born in the Formerian empire, into a noble family of low standing. After being exiled for crimes unknown, she wandered through the non-imperial lands, living for a while in Yolek-Ja. She has dark, brownish scales flecked with a few spots of lighter colours, and has several scars. Among her time among the warmbloods, she has become cynical and slightly arrogant, considering even other Liriss lesser than herself.

Cool guys- I'm handing the reigns of the thread over to Xathan, but if you need any mod-like work done on it just tell me. I'll be around still and may eventually add a character of my own, but for now, the one keeping track of things for this PbP will be the big X.

On another note, I believe he is starting the official thread today.

I already broke that one.  Sometimes the options from other settings just aren't interesting enough.  In my case I get picky about certain points of culture that I see all the time and wish to be something different.

My explanation still stands.  There is a lot of setting stuff to wade through, and even if I do it there is no guarantee I will like any of it that much.  I can stop if you want.

It's just that one of the principles of the whole thing was to encourage inter-setting activity and reviewing, the reason this Guild was founded to begin with.

It's kind of counter-intuitive to do otherwise is my point.
