I am super-into this idea, and would probably want to participate. However, my idea is not only in the same line as Dead Cruiser in that I would like to play an (ex)villain, but I was also considering the vampire stuff (curse you for pre-empting me, etc~). Therefore, I think I'd better hold off unless people want a crazy amount of semi-evil going around.

@The New Yorker Do you mean arcanist or do you actually mean alchemist? I don't see how alchemy would be immediately useful in combat but our people would probably have useful side hobbies. Additionally, is a drow elf just another word for dark elf?
@Dead Cruiser If vampirism is a "relatively" new (disease? Condition?) I'd be okay with it. I'll trust your abilities to come up with a little lore in that department. Also, are you okay with having another vampire around?
@McHaggis Beastmaster is cool, half races are cool, female and mid forties is cool XD

@Enzayne So long as the party isn't majority evil, I'd be fine with you hopping in as another vampire. But you both need to come up with a reason about why you're both going to represent such a small (race?) group of people.

I have a scheming, spellcasting noble in mind. I have no problem playing second fiddle to a progenitor, if that is the way it goes. Willing to hash it out any way it goes!

A bit more lore. A balance against overpowered magic.
The Universe created the gods, and not the other way around. This means that the universe can continue to grant power if it so chooses. The Primary ways to gain a piece of this power are greatness, partnership, and grants. These are not mutually exclusive. Also, when we are discussing divinity in humans we are discussing a fraction of it, not suddenly being a god.
Greatness can come from renown, accomplishing tasks, or being badass. Typical heroes like knights gradually gain this type of divinity. This is the most reliable form of divinity around, and those who wield it tend to be familiar with the benefits they receive.
You can also partner up with a divine or partially divine beings in order to gain their strength. Extremely powerful beings like gods will grant you power based on faith and an understanding of their philosophy. Paladins and Bishops strive to understand the greater beings of the universe. Lesser beings like dragons may join up with a person for any reason, and over time they will lend each-other both their divinity and some of their characteristics.
The last way to achieve some divinity is by being born or granted it by the universe. People with particularly prestigious or powerful bloodlines, gods, vampires, dragons, and other mythical creatures simply have some divinity upon being created. This type of divinity tends to interfere the least with magic. However, it also has the most weaknesses since the condition can be removed.

The only real cost of divinity is that it is hard to use with magic. No one knows why, but it just is that way. However, here are some benefits you could possibly have.
-Respect of great beasts. Things like dragons may decide to talk to you.
-Faster and stronger
-Legendary weapons tend to synchronize themselves with divinity, amplifying their effects
-Rage can become strength, unlike magic where a constant calm is required.
-Simple luck

@Dead CruiserHonestly, I think a character like that would fall into the realm of a minor god simply because of the amount of time he'd have to accrue power/artifacts. Also, he'd probably be too busy trying to manage the apocalypse.
I know this role-play is about the accomplished, but I'm afraid that's a bit too high on what I'd see as the power scale. You'd have to deliver a very convincing character sheet/lore. I wouldn't mind you being a vampire lord, but 8000 years old is strong.
Also, this is supposed to be about characters who've already had their (mostly) happy endings. He's probably gone through eight events of this scale before, so for him this isn't "getting called back from retirement" but rather "that annoying chore I have every few centuries."

@Dead Cruiser Yeah. If he was let's say 700 years old I'd consider that just to be very powerful, and I'd be okay with that. He'd be one of the oldest living beings alive, outside of actual gods. Put up a CS and define his magic to me and I'll see what I think.
Also, I think that this is enough people, so I'm going to put the OOC up either later today or tomorrow.

Have you ever played Pathfinder? Well it would be a little bit like that. As an alchemist, he would be able to combine natural and magical elements in order to create potions, poisons, and bombs of varying attributes. This could allow him to change his physical appearance in combat, create a barricade of ice, or inoculate his enemies. There are a myriad of options for in-combat alchemy, not to mention all the use he could be in ordinary pursuits, as well. So yes, I do mean an alchemist.
As for the Drow question: yes, essentially. The term Drow was made famous by D&D campaigns where the adventurers would encounter mean looking elves. They began as simply a sinister subrace, but evolved over time with fan outcry; which provided the hack writer R.A Salvatore with a pathetically profitable venture to exploit. Anyway, my character would be a former Prince from the underdark, banished from his home after his royal line was usurped. During his time in the underdark he became incredibly confident with the sciences of biology and herbalism (generally considered a psuedoscience in our world), leading him down the road of master alchemist. I would, of course, elucidate more on this in my CS if you find this to be a viable option.

OOC is going up, typing it now.
@Dead Cruiser I'll put an official CS in the OOC, but I think you can probably just start with the standard format.
@The New Yorker I mean when I'm discussing an alchemist I would find it difficult to make a potion mid battle. But I'm totally cool with it.
