May I get a link to the discussion thread. I cannot, for some reason, find it on my own. I FAIL!

Oooo, interesting. I thought they were in a 'cold war' ... I don't know WHY. Reading back over it ... there is no reason to think that. Ooooh, this could be fun. Yes.. *steeple fingers* Excellent.
So, after realizing I probably SHOULD look over other submitted characters, I got to Sha'an 'The Hatter'. *giggles* Zon-Kuthon, eh? *gleeful laugh* Oh, our chars are gonna be in a cold war. AWESOME!
First, DaWay, it's cool. Thank you for stepping in just in case, however. Now, Enaris...
2) A bard is a do-it all character as it is. And with Ariania's background of extensive travel and curiosity, it seemed appropriate. 3) Honestly, I didn't look at your character. I didn't know yours was 'Destined'. Honestly, I looked for the best buffer combination. And while I was eying a Foreteller Divination specialist ... I decided to do one min-max thing - stick with a pair of classes that used a single stat. Thus, Sorc. And Destined (though I looked at Marid and Elemental bloodlines) was the most 'buff-friendly' of the sorc bloodlines. Thus I picked it. I truly see Ari as the party buffer/self-buffer dance in combat when needed character. But also, as a bard, the party's 'face'/social hound. It is a chance to pick role-play over roll-play. Just a different style of gaming. It is, in no way, meant as a slight to you or your character. I'm sure they're gonna be awesome, honestly.
Okay. Here is the Half-Elf Bard/Sorc writeup. Comments wanted by one and all!
Ariniar's Statblock: Ariniar Delian
Here is the background that I have. Working on the details, but alas, that must wait until after dinner. Three hungry children and a husband to feed and all that. Ariniar Delian: Ariniar Delian Half-Elf Bard(Arcane Duelist) Ariniar was born in Qadira, or rather, on ship in the waters of Qadira. Her father, Sanar ibn Nial was captain of the vessel - not quite pirates, but a group of like-minded individuals seeking adventure and excitement. Aristrael Startrail is Ariniar's mother, a fiesty elven woman who left home and culture for the man she loves. Which isn't out of character for one of Shelyn's priestesses. The life that Ari knew growing up was of adventure, tales of great daring, and even a bit of heroism mixed it. So much did all that absorb into Arisniar, that the young woman became a better teller of stories than her father. It was a great delight for Aristrael and Sanar to listen to Ariniar sing the ancient songs, or even embellish a few of their own adventures. It was decided that Ariniar had a talent, and so her parents, with much love, hugs and kisses, sent the young half-elven woman to train with the Shelynites in Taldor. Taldor was a much different experience for Ariniar than life aboard her father's ship. There, she did not even realize the difference between her mother and father, or that a half-elf was something perplexing to both races. In Taldor, despite the love of Shelyn, Ariniar learned this. That is how she wound up in her first 'duel'. Oh, that was that, for Ariniar! The taste for adventure was long in her blood, and finally having one of her own, minor that it was, Ariniar knew what her life would be! Oh, she continued her schooling in Taldor until it was completed, but the moment it was done, she wrote her parents a letter and set off for the life of an adventurer! Since then, Ariniar is constantly writing her parents about the sights she has seen, or the adventures she has been on. One day, she hopes to compile them into a book about exploring all of the world. |
