At this time, if everyone could take a few moments to give a quick short synopsis of their character, including any significant aspects and stand out abilities, it would help to begin introductions. Perhaps even include a few sentences about yourself. The party will be starting not knowing each other, unless anyone wants to tie their backstories together (which is absolutely permitted).
Anyone is free to look OOCly at the profile if they like but the short version of Ezmelda is this: Ezmelda is a half elven (Moon descent) bard who has had little control over her tragedy filled youth, and now bucks at other attempts TO control her. This does not mean she's an idiot who can't work with others, just that folks PRESUMING authority over her are likely to get ignored. She is a good person who, despite some vanity and head strong moments, can be kind and generous. She loathes slavers and the like. She might make a good face for the party (THough I see she's not the only one) and likely will be buffing folks up a great deal so don't forget those if she is revving the party up :)
