Nah, I haven't posted my sheet. You will be introduced to my character before you leave Toruka though.

Oh, the dwarf will tell everybody his name once they have gathered. Then we will have quite a lengthy post from him.

She is 115 in Human years. 19 is Elvin years. Female 5'4" (64in.) / 90lbs (40.8kg) In case it is not clear from the image, her eyes are blue. None Elora prides herself on her mind. She takes every chance she gets to learn, even if that means observing others in brief conversation. She is constantly curious and is always up for a challenge. This leads her to have a high amount of confidence. She's rational and once she reaches a sound conclusion, she strongly believes she is correct and she is not easily persuaded to change her mind. Because of this, she is honest and direct. Elora can stand on her own, or be the leader in a situation. This can lead to conflict with other natural leaders, if she disagrees with them. To her, the idea must make sense, or it's wrong. She applies this idea to herself, believing that she must always be calm and rational upon any situation. Unfortunately, Elora can come off as very arrogant and judgemental. She sees emotional people as weak, at would take a long time to persuade her otherwise. Romance is a strange concept to her, but she is also open-minded. If it makes sense, and is rational, then it must be true. Ice, Lightening, Large Carnivores, Dying Alone, Being Ignored, Being Wrong, The Dark Being Right, Fire, Most Animals (except mentioned above), Writing, Heights, Competition || Elora was born in Sal'Sumarathar, an Elvish city that was once a part of the Honey Water Empire. She lived a lovely childhood, learning about the ways of the world through stories and life lessons. Unfortunately, at the young age of 47, her mother received a terrible omen of fire and destruction and immediately, the Nei family fled Sal'Sumarathar and the Honey Water Empire to travel across the sea to Arcazia. Once they landed at the Arcazia docks, the horrific news of the Empire's demise reached their ears. Volcanoes were the supposed culprits and there were no survivors. Despite the devastation, the Nei family made their home on the outskirts of Arcazia's main city. Her father, Virion, specialized in fertility and medicinal herbs and his shop was rarely without a customer. When Elora was 100, her parents were expecting another child. On the eve of her 101st birthday, her mother gave birth to a boy they named Kellam. Even with an extra mouth to feed, the Nei family thrived until the depression struck Arcazia. Soon the shop was empty and Virion was forced to close its doors. It was heartbreaking for the family, but even more so for the rest of the town. Within a year of the depression, terror struck the family as thieves broke into their home under the shelter of night. Desperate for money, the theives raided their home and murdered Virion and Tsarra. Elora and Kellam only survived by hiding within the home's walls. By the time Elora was 111, she was living on her own and raising a 10 year old brother. They had been living on the streets for 4 years until Elora heard about the promise of gold and riches. A promise that was too sweet to ignore. Leaving Kellam in the local orphanage, Elora swore that she would return and the wealth of the Nei family would be restored. Two canteens, Tinder Box, Two shirts, Two Pants, One Poncho, One Robe, One golden locket with her parent's picture, Cloth bracelet that Kellam crafted for her when he was five. 6 Coppers Two daggers, Large stick Chainmail that is much too big for her small frame She prefers to stand back and let others fight. When push comes to shove, she can be quite frantic, but she does not have any style other than to stay alive.: Water Seer and Liquid Communication

Accepted, I will add Elora to the list. You are free to post in the IC if you wish.

There we go. After a few hours worth of work I have gotten out an IC post. I will still be accepting characters while we are in the village which will still be for a short period of time but long enough to finish a cs. Either way, respond whenever you can.

The history is fine with me.

What Lies Below

The Black Water tavern was bustling with the usuals and new comers. Most of those who were new to the town were stopping at the tavern to get rations for their journey to the Spine. Yet, they knew that the tavern would be closing in a few minutes. It was arranged with the owner so that the tavern would be cleared by nine o'clock at night. As soon as the church bells rung nine times, the owner called out "Closing time, pay your bills and get out. If you have a room, go to it now." The myriad of muttered curses and cries of diappointment were all that answered the owner's request. It took a few minutes for the crowd to clear out except for one man. Rather, if anybody had looked closely at him, dwarf. It was obvious that the dwarf was old though no person in the building would have been capable of guessing his age.

The lines on the dwarf's face told of unlimited smiles and frowns that it had seen. His hands told a story of their own. The roughness of the hands told the wandering eye that they had been used in many arduous tasks. The tan of his skin was surprising for a dwarf who had the look of a miner. A closer look at the dwarf revealed a silver chain hiding just under the collar of his jacket. The chain led to a small pendant which held a brillant blue sapphire surronded by a lightly collored emerald. The owner of the tavern looked over at the dwarf. A pitcher of beer was placed at the dwarf's table a few minutes after the owner had finished cleaning a glass. "Your crew better get here quickly master dwarf. I don't think we want anybody listening in on this. If we do, then you are likely to expect a rude meeting with them." the owner told the dwarf. All the dwarf did was smile back, he knew what it would mean if people listened in. But, he was indeed hoping that people would show up tonight.

Finally done adding the newly approved characters to the list. I will get to work on the IC post after I finish placing DSquiggs's sheet to the list.

Any estimated time for the IC to be up?

Either by the end of tonight or after I get home from school. It will all be determined on how quickly I can get the new sheets added to the list.

I love them both. They bring to life the exact idea I was looking for when it came to poverty in Arcazia. People in Arcazia would fall on hard times and the far northern part of Arcazia(above the lake on the map) is considered part of the frontier. The other part of the frontier is the desert like lands people refer to as Wastes. The Wastes are located on the other side of the Spine. As for the Twilight Isles, they might just come into the story in the future. Depends on how long this story lasts but I am sure we will last a while.

Accepted. He is almost exactly what I was thinking of when I imagined a tattooed Rune Mage. They have the potential for such growth which is why I personally like them.

So is there a Shapeshifter option still open now the quota has been increased?

Well, Alchemical and Dragon's characters aren't mages so yeah. I already know that dsquiggs's character is going to be a shapeshifter. I am not going to limit what kind of mages we can have and it can't hurt to have another shapeshifter.

I will look into the completed apps as so as I get home from school.

Dawn, I hate to be a burden but you forgot to add the second image in the hider to my sheet on the character list

Updated.

Edited my CS. Kat's a human.

I have a feeling that Kat and Osla will have an awkward relationship at the beginning. But, they are likely to become great friends later on. I will try and get my character sheet up tomorrow. He will be the leader of the group but not the mystery man so I will introduce him after the meeting of the mystery man.
