Bio
I enjoy roleplaying, a lot more then I would like to admit. My favorite genres are medieval, sci-fi, and dungeons and dragons style role plays. I find myself okay with GMing my own roleplays, but I would rather be involved in a roleplay where I dont have to build something all the way up and then regulate that role play as well as run it. I have many oc's as well, all made to fill in for different purposes.

Posted a response to Varis, eat it up folks. I know its a bit cheesy and depressing but that sums up any life of a drow on the surface.
Vivian took in the words Varis spoke to her and she let out a big sigh. She looked to him seeing his features, some of them hidden by shadow due to the light of the moon. "Your right, I am not like most drow." She said and looked forward once more before she continued. " I used to be though, being a female I had better standings in the family sense we have a matriarchy. The women lead while the men do the fighting." She paused slightly. "The reason why I left was that it was not as easy as one would think. Not many on the surface do not know what it is like to live like a drow. Perhaps some due in some regard. The constant looking over your shoulder and the constant untrust between comrads, even your own family could not be trusted for the desire to be on top and to survive is that great. I grew tired of that living, and when there wasn't that. We would send our war parties to burn villages to the ground. I did not like it, not one bit."
She looked back to Varis to try and read what he was thinking just from his outer appearance. "What made it worse, was that I fell in love with a member of my house. He was charming ,and handsome. He did not much care for the life either and would indulge me with stories of another drow city who had a house war. One of the drow from the houses had escaped from his family and eventually made it to the surface and everything went well for him. He made friends much like I have here. Well it was close to that same relationship. What furthered my desire to leave was the day of sacrifice. We had made peace with these illithids, the deal was we would give them one of our own. Lets just say, it was like a death sentence when the flayers took you. What they do to person is beyond horror. My love was given to them and now he is dead. The insides of his skull used to nourish some sick monsters taste for a good brain. I hated my family, and my so called friends. Before leaving I killed those responsible for taking what was mine away." The last sentence was said with a bitter voice. Full of hate and anger. "Now I am here, trying to start again. Perhaps I will find what I am searching for. I doubt I will find love up here with me being a drow and all ,but I don't need love. I need companionship,.. a friend." She had to smirk at her last words and held back a laugh. "Which is just as hard to do as a drow. You likely understand what I have been through, or maybe you don't. Who knows. Perhaps when I am done with this mission I will gain some sort of fame and respect. Perhaps I can make a few friends along the way."
It was strange, talking to Varis about her past, of all people to talk to. She felt rather better afterwards though. As if letting a bit of history out of her put her at ease. The talking helped, and helped a lot more then it should. She still was afraid about one thing though. The horrors of the underdark coming after her to take her back. To take her back so she can answer for her crimes of murder and betrayal. Which was as much of a death sentence then any.

@Inertia I say just post your character sheet. I rightly don't mind and I doubt it will be op. Just post it and I will take a look at it, if stuff needs changing I will let you know.
I will wait however a little longer to post it, perhaps when two or three more post Viv will respond to Varis.
nice I suppose Vivian can give a bit of her history away and to why she is taking on a mission from the city of Zaphere and not leading a drow force to pillage and burn it. I will wait a bit longer before Vivian comments on it.
lol thats good. Anyhow posted.
Vivian rolled her eyes at the whole thing, not just at Varis but what was going in back. "Don't tell me you just now noticed the goblin..." She sighed. "He isn't hard to miss with his current get up." She then looked to Varis to answer his stupid remark.
"As long as you don't mind sitting next to a drow, then I don't mind if you sit next to me." She then looked back to the two not in the wagon. "Get in the wagon, unless you want to be left behind." She remarked. She turned back to look at the goblin and sighed. She waited for a couple more minutes giving Ellyn and Bjoric plenty of time to get in before she flicked her wrist snapping at the reins. The Camel began to move forward. They didn't move to fast yet seeing as they were not out the gate yet. When they passed through she gave a nod to the town guard as she did. She then looked to Varis, her current company. Well this guy is going to be good to talk to. Perhaps he will change his attitude later on in this journey.
As soon as the wagon was far enough from the gate she flicked the reins once more increasing the pace at which the camel moved. With the wagon it would gladly take them less time to get to this abandoned city. Hopefully the locals wouldn't bother them.. much.

Thought Ellyn was a elf. Elves can see in the dark very well. The only ones in the party who cant see in the dark are the two humans and the halfling. Elves don't necessarily have darkvision ,but they have low light vision.
I like all the posts so far.
