Hah, mine's easy, then.
Considering I've basically been living as a travelling performer, I could easily have been providing some entertainment at the inn.
I'm editing my CS slightly (the tidbits) to go over this. As a result of living with a troupe for several years, it's only natural she be able to do some kind of performance. Being taken hostage isn't exactly advantageous for her. So any chance she sees to get out (say, a group of people escaping the cellar), she'd probably take.

Just letting you know I'm super interested - but I've been crazy busy this weekend so I won't be done with a CS till monday @_@!
Primary
Name: Narcia
Age: 22
Race: Cherod
Gender: Female
Class: Enchanter/Illusionist
Background: Prim, proper, well educated and docile. Born into a Cherod noble's family, Narcia despised the fate that her family had set her on path to. As she grew up, she was never allowed to be like the other children. She couldn't go play, let alone socialize with anyone her age. Instead, she spent countless hours in lessons, shut away from the outside world and learning the history of her people and how to make a perfect noblewoman. She quickly grew into a livid child - and what better focus of her rage than the very thing she was studying? She hated Cherod society. Even more than that, she hated the man who had come to lead it.
Oedethil. The very name caused a visible reaction in a younger Narcia. She continued to grow hating the man, and in her naivete as a teen even daydreamed plans of assassination. She was convinced that if she could just rid her people of the man they thought a god - even just show that he was no more than a mortal - that society would find a way to rebuild itself free from his grasp. Unfortunately for her, her parents inevitably saw this change happening within her. To avoid any negative attention drawn to her family, she was locked into her room and hidden even further away. If they could have, Narcia is sure that they would have killed her and pretended she never existed. A birth in a noble family, though, is not something people forget.
It was then that she met Dasti. A smart slave who was sent repeatedly to her room to give Narcia further lessons. But Dasti's lessons were different. Instead of Charod society, for the first time, Narcia learned about Angard - about other humans who believed far differently from her own people. Dasti and Narcia became quick friends. Narcia was always curious about what happened outside Charod lands - and Dasti being a captive of war was eager to tell her own stories. Narcia couldn't help but feel validated knowing that the majority of people in the world didn't believe Oedethil was anyone to be revered. Dasti didn't stop her lessons there, however. In secret, she taught Narcia small magical cantrips. Narcia showed great promise when it came to magic, and quickly learned everything Dasti could teach her.
When she came of age, her parents had to present her to society for marriage. She attended many a ball, and though she couldn't exactly reject the advances of anyone sent her way, she did her best to make herself unappealing. The easiest way she saw to do that was to let her suitors know of her hate for Oedethil. That same night, Narcia remembers being shaken awake by Dasti. She could hear screams of the servants out in the hall as Dasti put a finger to her lips. She was pulled away, through corridors, past dead bodies and out into the courtyard. She remained silent the entire time, mulling over the fact that she'd caused these deaths in the back of her mind. As they crept closer to the courtyard gates, Dasti stopped and turned to her, whispering words Narcia still hasn't forgotten:
"If anyone deserves a life, it's you. If you remember what I've taught you, you'll be fine." The older woman winked and ran away. Narcia wanted to call out, but she saw what the woman was doing - Dasti ran past the men guarding the gate shouting out a simple enchantment. The men hastily charged after her. Narcia ran as fast as she could out the gates, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Eventually, Narcia found a man named Lazerus that Dasti had called a friend. He hid Narcia within a traveling troupe for a few years before she finally decided to head off on her own. Oedethil was relentless. Never satisfied with leaving her as the one who got away, he has constantly sent mercenary groups to track the movements of an out-of-place Cherod girl. Narcia eventually left the troupe once she'd learned how to hide herself well, fearing that she was only a burden to them. Since, she's been a traveling entertainer, constantly running from the groups that Oedethil sends after her.
Appearance:
Narcia has everything conventionally beautiful about her: A defined face, porcelain-like skin, gleaming violet eyes. She's in fairly good shape due to all the traveling she's done, but she isn't fit for combat in the slightest. She's very slim with the body of an acrobat, and the agility to match from her days as a performer. She generally has a very stony-eyed look about her.
Narcia keeps to herself quite a bit. Around those she comes to trust, she opens up and is known to be a very energetic person. Around those she doesn't know, Narcia generally puts on a guise of being strictly business with a bit of mockery dashed in. She enjoys company quite a bit, but hates that she usually becomes a burden for those she sticks around simply because of her past. This sometimes causes her to become depressed - wishing she'd just been the docile girl she was supposed to be - but she would never outwardly admit to it.
She's all but given up on a normal life. She's never met anyone she really cared for beyond friends, and she knows that she can't settle down until Oedethil is dead or stops chasing her, anyway. She has determined that if an opportunity ever presents itself she will find a way to topple Oedethil.
Equipment: Narcia wears normal comfortably fitting commoner clothing for the most part. She carries a cloak with her to hide her face if she ever needs to. As far as weapons she carries a small dagger with her hidden under her cloak that she tries her hardest not to use. She also carries a lute with her which she uses for performances.
Magic: Narcia is well practiced in illusions and enchantments.
Spectral Chains: Narcia summons spectral chains to hinder movement of a would-be pursuer. However, they generally can't keep someone still - only slow an advance.
Evanescence Narcia warps light in order to make an object (or even a person) invisible. The larger the object, the more concentration this takes - and she generally can't multitask while doing this.
Light Shield Narcia creates a quick outward flash of light around an object or person, blinding any would-be attacker before their approach.
Illusory Cage Narcia creates a cage of ethereal light around someone or something. If someone were to attempt to move through the cage, they suffer a mental assault.
Change Sound Narcia can modify what her target hears. This can be complete silence to unbearable screeching.
Other Tidbits: Narcia has learned quite a bit of performance from the troupe. She's quite good at performance magic, but more often her performance was centered around her singing and lute playing - something she had started long before as part of her lessons.
If there's anything that needs to be changed, let me know and I'll change it!

So I read that whole archive - and I'm totally interested in this RP, but I dunno if you guys would be willing to accept new blood (looks like this was a thing before the guild went down =P) If not, I'll probably just be following along.
Sounds pretty interesting and I might want to join - but I'd like to know a bit more. :)
