i'll put in a bid too, info is in profile


Looks like no one has posted an Arcane class yet.

I submit Rautha Dracos.

N Human Necromancer (undead subschool)

background:

Rautha Dracos Grew up in a Small Fishing Village outside Ravengro, Canterwall. He Father was a Fisher, his Mother a Teacher. His Life wasn't Easy, but it was Safe. Far from the Borders of Virlych and the Dreaded Gallowspire, His Village thought they would be safe when the rumors of whole villages being swallowed up by the Mists around the Virlych borders. "we'll be fine!, Lastwall patrols will catch any wandering undead that come our way.." said the Town Mayor. The Mayor could not have been more wrong. With in hours of the meeting ending, the village was attacked by members of the Whispering Way.

First, Mists rolled in, thick as soup; then, came the Undead, followed by their Masters. They slaughtered anyone who put up a fight, Capturing those who they could. Rautha watched the whole thing from a hiding spot under his family's Porch. The Undead where unstoppable, they resisted the Pitch forks and arrows the Men of the town weilded against them. Once the Village had been taken, the members of the way, rounded up the Feeble, the weak, and killed them. " easyier to bring back, this way, less whining..." He heard one say.

After the attack, only Rautha Survived, if you call it Survival. He was scared, broken. He was so overcome by the power of those undead, so wanting revenge for his village that he could only come to one conclusion.

To fight the undead, he must use undead.

Taking all he could from his Family home, He fled North to Vieland, where he enrolled in Wizarding School, At First he was rejected. No honest Wizarding school would willing train someone in the art of necromancy. Rautha having a Clever side from his Mother, re-enrolled a month later under a Different Name, Claiming to was a Study in Divination. He was accepted, but eventually Caught and expelled his 2nd year. He was caught late at night on a Full moon, After attempting to cast a Spell above his Power. but not any spell, a Necromancy Spell.. After collecting his things, He Heard Rumors of a Professor who was more.. Open minded.. and Set out to enroll under Professor Lorrimor. With a Quick wit, and a photographic memnory, Ratutha quickly became a teacher's Pet to the professor.


Becoming annoyed with this "Wizard", Rautha gets up and walks the room, looking for more clues

Perception
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14


Rautha Looks straight into the mans eyes, as if he where looking into his soul

"Why is this All your fault? Why did she come here? Why would you being here early do anything but add you to the pile of bodies?"


Rautha Studys the man, tryingt o decide if he is lying or not.

Sense Motive
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Also, how does the man look? his is good looking?, well dressed? does he look liek someone who could hook up with an Aasimar?


Sorry for the long Delay!, busy, busy weekend

Rautha follows Domminic down stairs, He remanins quiet, still rolling all the info around in his head, He awaits the Answer the boy provides to Dominic and Kirks questions.


Rautha follows Dominic up the Stairs, upon reaching their destination, he casts Detect magic Slowing Scanning the room

"Tsaran korilath ith hakon"


"I agree. Lets go before the Corpse gets any colder.."

Rautha Nods again at the Count, Bows, and prepares to leave.


Filled :-)


Rautha immediately recognizes Count Jarovich as he enters the room, Giving him a slight nod. He listens to what St. Just has to say, then allows a small crooked smile to cross his lips as the Count makes his comment.

" I must agree with our reddish friend, Many questions run through my mind as we stand before you. Assuming the Ambassador had adequate protection, who could have slipped through? Surely not a common street thug. Who else knows about his death?"


Still remaning quiet, Rautha follows suit and enters the doorway.


After straighting his robes, and checking his pouches for damage, Rautha takes a quick look around the room

Perception
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17


Rautha Stands up, Collects a Wooden staff, and then makes a Sharp Whistle, after a few moments, a very mottled Raven lands on his Shoulder, the burd apears to have seen better days.. As it has spots where it is missing feathers..

"I am ready, lead the way."


Orders some "Qin" Tea, but Eats nothing, He sits Quietly, taking in the Verbal sparing going on at the Table

It seems to me that everyone is talking and talking, but doesn't seem to be saying anything.. Thinks Rautha


"You May call me Rautha"


Dm:

Ahhh sorry, he is a raven


At the note of the schools being pointless, a man in Jet black robes, lined with gold runes Jumps into the converstaion, as if he had been here all along, yet not noticed. From behind low pulled hood a Whispering, Raspy Voice, speaks

"I don't believe these schools are pointless. It is Hard to find schools that offer such a... Broad Curriculum. Academy Vizyalesh being the second school I have attended, I find them to be much more, open minded.."


Ok, all updated and ready to go, sorry for such a delay


Sorry for the late start, Had to go apartment hunting this weekend.

Rolling for starting gold:

2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6*10=60g


I'll get my character built and posted up on Monday, I don;t get a chance to post much on the weekend.

@Rautha, the necromancer spot will be highly competitive. Anything about Rautha's life in the academy?

With your Permission, I'd Like to Expand on being expelled, and ariving at the new school. You do have any objections to using the the 3.5 feat from Libris Mortis "Stiched Flesh Familiar?"

Stiched Flesh Familiar:

pre-Requs: cast 3 different necromancy spells,

HD become d12's, No bonus from Con.
HP = 1/2 mine or familiar's whichever is higher

Bab= familiar's or mine whichever is higher

Biggest change is that the Familiar allows me to Control 4 more HD of undead, instead of the Normal Bonus's that a Familiar would.

If not, I'd be willing to just call teh Familiar Undead for Flavor..

..More details on why Rautha was Expelled.
Rautha had come to class that day looking very Pale, unhealthly. The Teachers where concerned, but Rautha waved them away "i'm fine, i.. just need some rest" Later that evening, The Headmaster came to Rautha's room to check on him, and was shocked with what he saw.. Rautha was caught with Gravedust, Lichen, a Scroll of Animate Dead, and his raven familiar, Midnight. Well, what was once his Familiar. The bird was dead, and looked as if it had been disected, and stiched back together. Rautha was too entranced with the casting of the higherl lvl spell to see the headmaster. He was roughly snatched up, loosing the spell and the expensive scroll he had purchased. An council of the school was held the next day, Rautha was promptly expelled.

Upon Reaching Academy Vizyalesh, Rautha was very Excited. Finally, he could study his Art, and Gain the Power he was looking for. Thing's didn;t turn out as well as he hoped. Rautha didn't fit in well with his fellow Students. Seen as a know it all, (he Loved the studying, the learning, think Hermonie from Harry Potter). He didn't see necromancy the same way they did. to him, It was about fighting the Undead on their terms, leveling the Playing Field. his Class mates saw it as a Was to Gain Power of Life. So Many a trick where played on Rautha, from calling him names, to poking fun that he had no familiar ( Midnight was still dead, but Rautha kept his body), to actually beating him up one for getting getting the highest scores on a test. Rautha Did his best to ignore them, Focusing on his studying. When it Came to his Final Test before Graduation, He chose what got him Expelled from this first school. Using a Scroll, he Animated his Familiar, Midnight as undead. His Classmates, now saw the power in Rautha, Never Taunted him again.

Academy Vizyalesh, who openly taught necromancy! this Idea appealed to him, his only issue was getting there. For this school was almost on the other side of the Counrty, In Karcau. Deciding Nothing would stop him from getting there, He sold the last items he saved from his home, and payed for passaged to Karcau.

This is Solarious; here is my Bid for the Skill monkey Spot.

Spoiler:

Lunitara, Half-elf Rogue 2(w/ the Scout Variant, and the Ancestral Arms Racial trait)

Lunitara was the Only Daughter of a local, low ranking Crime boss, Donovan. She was the Product of a one-night stand with an Elven Barmaid. When the woman came to tell Donovan she was with Child, her father Feinted excitement. Moved the Woman into his hideout, and cared for her until the child was born. After the child was found to Female, he had her mother killed, for Donovan wanted the child for his own selfish gains. He raised Lunitara in the art of Thievery, to use her Charms as a Weapon against his Enemies. Lunitara loved her lessons, and took to them with gusto. When she was 19, she asked her father how her mother had died. Donovan told her that she died in childbirth. Lunitara was furious when she learned the truth. She bided her time, learned all she could from her "Father", then struck him when he wasn't looking, Killing him. Since then, She has taken to the streets, finding work where she can.

Lunitara stands about 5'3", Blue eyes with Blonde hair that she keeps in a short Ponytail.
She is a Quiet, reserved, and rarely out spoken, unless she is sweet-talking a mark. She is not ashamed to bat her eyelashes, or give a slight to get her way. She is a fierce fighter, Swift with the blade. She favors a single, Scimitar, Which she uses to great effect along with her Bag of Tricks she carries.
