name: Amara / Khalidah (mean immortal, uses two names for secrecy)

gender: female

age: 50,000 years (give or take a century)

appearance: tall, brunette, green eyes, tan, slender but strong

info: A/K was born normal, in a small settlement in what is now England. She was given the chance to become immortal and stay young and took it. After the transformation, her "benefactor" told her the catch: any wound she receives will hurt twice as badly and take twice as long to heal, and if she gets sick, the symptoms and contagion will be twice as bad and the illness will last twice as long as normal. She lived with this for a few thousand years, but grew lonely and depressed because any friends she made grew old and died. She tried to commit suicide (jumped off a cliff), but that didn't work, and it took many years to heal completely from the experience. she now wanders around aimlessly, trying to find another immortal she can spend her life with.

weapons: ancient longsword that she's kept in good condtion, bow and arrows

Ok this sounds fun,

Here is a NPC I through together a while back.

Name: Jonas Eastman

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Class: Ranger/Fighter

Description: Jonas stands a little over six feet tall. He walks with a grace hiding the strong form under his dark leather armor. He keeps his hair short, and his face is clean shaven. His eyes are brown with a deep and troubled look to them. He might be thought of as hansom once but with years of trouble on his shoulders has given his face a hard sower expression.


History: Jonas was born fifth son of nine children, of a well known farmer. As youngest male he was not in line to own the farmstead after their father. He well knew this and was ready to work for whichever of his brothers inherited the farm.

Then during harvest time of his 18 year, the farm fell under attack by a band of goblins. He and most of his brothers were in the fields at the time of the attack when the heard the sounds of fighting and saw smoke coming from the household. They ran straight to the house to see a large number of goblins breaking into the barn taking what bags of grain they have prepared so far. They also saw two of the brothers and three of their sisters laying on the ground with ever growing pools of blood around them. Jonas’ brothers had carried short swords to the fields and went to defend the barn. While Jonas ran to the house to see if anyone else is ok in there. Having only the scythe he was working in the field with to fight he cut his way through a number of the green monsters before he reached the house. When he reached for the door a hobgoblin stepped out wiping blood off its sword with what look like his mother’s apron. Without thinking of his chances of winning a fight with such an opponent he attacked. The hobgoblin laughed as he easily parried the first attack. Then sliced a rather deep cut into Jonas’ side. Then through luck, or chance of fate, his next strike hit home. With a quick swing of the long blade on the scythe he cut the creatures throat. Before he had a chance to go in the house then he turns to see his last brother fall to a goblin’s mace. Hoping no more of them were in the house he ran to kill the one who just killed his brother. The goblins, seeing how he killed their leader, did not stay for much of a fight and most ran away before he reached them. But he quickly finished off what was left of them others. Keeling down to check on his siblings, he found all of them dead. With a new fear he ran to the house to find a sight of a mighty battle. A number of goblins lay dead on the floor, but in the corner of the room he saw the bodies of his father with his mother draped over him. When he checked them his fears were arrived, they were both dead. As he began to weep for all of the loss he heard a noise from the floor. He then remembered the seller which remanded hidden under a rug in the kitchen. As he cleared the fallen table and chairs from the area he could hear a woman’s scream. He opened the trapdoor slowly to see his sister, Lavinia, hiding in the shadows. When she saw it was him she quickly fell into this arms and cried knowing what happened to their parents.

When they were finally able to get help to clean up and deal with the bodies, Jonas had to make a final choice on the fate of the farm. He spent what money what was needed to pay workers to help with the harvest, on the proper burial of his family. There was not time to do this on his own and most of the other farms were busy with their own harvests. He knew he had to sell the farm. With the money he got he was able to pay off the debts his family owed and moved he and his sister to a nearby city. He was able to get a job in the town guard, with the tells of his fight with the goblins in his wake he was in easy. And he was able to put his sister into a school of magic, so she could learn the arts of the wizard.

As the years when on his training went from just patrolling the city to patrolling the nearby woods and hills for trouble. As he went up in the ranks he was allowed to put together his patroll. His first choice was his sister who just began to cast spells with ease. The second was a traviler who when he was about to save from a party of thieves, watched him defeat five well armed men using no weapons. The last was a childhood friend he had not seen in years, he studied under the clerics of the favored god in the area granting him healing powers and aiding the others in battle with his god’s will.

As of late he has been granted the power to work freely in the area, as long as he worked in the law of the land.

This does sound fun. Too bad it's in the wrong area.

None of your concern. It's from our powers of being mods. And don't ask how to become one...
