@Sanity43217 I like where this character is going a lot, and I'm going to PM you later to cover a few things. Unfortunately, I need to sleep now though.
@Metztli This is mostly pretty good. Just a couple things, primarily Arskel is not the kind of place you send your children, but if they had a good reason that's all fine. I get the impression there is a secret involved in your background, if you'd like you can PM me more details about that.
Otherwise its good to me, I'm hesitant with mind-altering magic but Devil's Tongue seems pretty laid back so I can dig it.
As a note to everyone who's submitted a character so far, I like the way you're all expanding upon and running with the nuanced concepts scattered through the OP. It's pretty much precisely what I hoped for, so thanks y'all.
