Description: Lara Evangeline Ellicott-Tillingsworth is a young human woman, pretty and probably not much older than her early 20s, with brown eyes and chestnut-brown hair gathered in a ponytail. Dressed like an explorer, bandoliers and pouches criss-cross an athletic frame garbed in earth-toned clothes and leather armor that often seems to be covered in dust and mud. She carries a shortbow and a quiver of arrows on her back, and a longsword and dagger at her belt. Portrait: Lara (my art) Languages: Common (Taldane), Elven, Draconic, Azlanti, Aklo, Aquan, Thassilonian, Giant HP 53
Fortitude 2 + 1 = 3 Reflex 6 + 2 = 8 Will 6 + 0 = 6 Abilities: skilled, bonus feat (human), archaeologist’s luck +2 (3) 8 rd/day, bardic knowledge, clever explorer, uncanny dodge, trap sense +2, rogue talent (Weapon Training [shortbow]), lore master, evasion, rogue talent (canny observer) Clever Explorer: At 2nd level, an archaeologist gains a bonus equal to half his class level on Disable Device and Perception checks. He can disable intricate and complex devices in half the normal amount of time (minimum 1 round) and open a lock as a standard action. At 6th level, an archaeologist can take 10 on Disable Device checks, even if distracted or endangered, and can disarm magical traps. This ability replaces the versatile performance ability. Lore Master: At 5th level, the bard becomes a master of lore and can take 10 on any Knowledge skill check that he has ranks in even when threatened or distracted. A bard can choose not to take 10 and can instead roll normally. In addition, once per day, the bard can take 20 on any Knowledge skill check as a standard action. He can use this ability one additional time per day for every six levels he possesses beyond 5th, to a maximum of three times per day at 17th level. Rogue Talent (Canny Observer): When Lara makes a Perception check to hear the details of a conversation or to find concealed or secret objects (including doors and traps), she gains a +4 bonus. Traits:
Pathfinder Recruit: Explore, report, and cooperate. This is the credo Lara has lived by since she joined the Pathfinder Society, and after hearing about the expedition to found Talmandor’s Bounty she applied, eager to see the remains of Azlant. However, she quickly learned that the Bountiful Venture Company wasn’t interested in involving the Pathfinder Society in the formation of the colony. This struck her as strange, because who else has as keen an understanding of some of the elements of ancient Azlant as the Pathfinder Society?
Vagabond Child: After her aristocratic parents' deaths while she was at university, and the subsequent loss of the family estate, Lara lived among the outcasts and outlaws of Taldan society for a short time before finding her purpose with the Pathfinder Society. While on the streets, she learned to forage and survive in an urban environment. As a result, she gains a +1 trait bonus on Disable Device checks, and it is always a class skill for her. Drawback:
Feats: lingering performance, point blank shot, precise shot, weapon focus (shortbow), deadly aim, focused shot Skills:

To Whom It May Concern:
The University of Oppara is rightfully renowned as a center of learning on the Avistani continent. It is renowned throughout the surrounding lands, and with good reason. Many of the world's foremost scholars--on a variety of subjects--teach at the University. I am Lara Evangeline Ellicott-Tillingsworth, and I come to you as a graduate of that august institution. I am an archaeologist by profession and an explorer by calling. No doubt there is ample room for explorers on a newly discovered (or should I say, rediscovered?) continent, and the more minds at work at the great problems that confront a fledgling colony, the greater its chances of success. I come to you to offer my skills to the expedition, and am confident that you will find me to be an asset to the community, and to the company. Should you take the time to interview me, I am sure that you will agree that my skills and talents will be most useful. I look forward to hearing from you about the opportunity to prove it. Sincerely, Lara Evangeline Ellicott-Tillingsworth |
