Xandra Mizzriir
Xandra is the unfortunate product of a violent rape. Her mother was savaged during a raid by darkland raiders upon her village. The woman fought back but was rewarded for it by having her eye gouged out. Maimed and pregnant the woman travelled to Riddleport in order to seek a new life. She wound up on the streets as a beggar in the end.
Xandra’s mother strapped for cash sold the infant at the slavers market in Riddleport. Shorafa Pamodae bought the infant for her own strange purposes. Despite the child’s fair complexion and dark hair the tiefling discovered Xandra’s dark heritage. As the child grew Shorafa discovered the half drow had a talent for learning languages and soon put her to work as an interpreter. Xandra was privy to vast amounts of confidential information. The tiefling of course fitted Xandra with a charm in order to provide “secure” translations for her clients. This resulted in vast gaps in the child’s memory. Xandra eventually managed to overcome the device’s effects unbeknownst to her mistress. She used this to her advantage and discovered there was an underground resistance that freed slaves. Xandra bided her time waiting for the chance to escape.
She eventually did with help from the “resistance” which actually was a front group for the Cyphermages and their leader crimelord Elias Tammerhawk. Their purpose was to liberate Xandra and find out everything she had ever translated. They interrogated her and used several magical methods to pry the information from her. Xandra eventually cooperated but on her terms. She wanted protection from her former master, freedom, shelter and tutelage in their academy.
She began her new life and took to the studies easily. Her keen intellect cut through the difficult lessons the mages put her through. She took a tremendous amount of abuse because of her drow heritage from the other students as well as the masters. Xandra mastered everything they threw at her and then some. She ultimately left the cypherlodge and now is going to bring vengeance upon everyone who had every wronged her.

I am working on a backstory for a character that was a slave and used as a secure interpreter. She was fitted with a device that caused her to forget the conversations that she translated or she had her memory of the event erased via some spell that erases the last 24hrs of memory.

As a GM I require backstories. My long time friend from HS is going to run a game starting in January. I have been kicking around ideas for my character.

As a player, I leave developement of the NPCs to my GM. Although I am sure if I give him a starting point he won't be mad.

Another problem will be all of the creatures that eat dead things in the sea. Sooner or later the only thing that will remain of the croc will be bones. Which are not much good for swimming by themselves.

Viktoriya Natalia Dragunov
Viktoriya Natalia Dragunov was born in Absalom to the Dragunov family of House Morilla. Her father Viktor is a wealthy businessman, member of the lesser council, and head of the city’s trade commission. He has many connections not only in the city but in many other places throughout the Inner Sea region. Her mother, Natalia Romanov of House Candren, is cousin to Grand Councilman Goodman Hugen the First Harbormaster and owner of Sea King Shipyards. Their arranged marriage was of course to solidify the holdings and positions of both houses but it grew a romance of which bards tell tales. The couple was childless for many years and rumors began to circulate. Natalia sought help from Seraphina Madinani a close friend and sorceress who helped her conceive.
Nine months later, Viktoriya Natalia named after her parents, was born. A beautiful baby with brilliant blue eyes, raven black hair, and fair skin. She was an only child, spoiled and doted upon by the entire clan. Natalia fully expected her daughter to follow in her footsteps as the matriarch of the family. The child lived a life of luxury never wanting for anything. She was a bright and intuitive young child. Viktoriya advanced in her studies quickly. It was at puberty that her abilities blossomed. Secretly, Natalia asked Seraphina to examine the child. The sorceress claimed it was a possible effect of the arcane energies at conception, a secret that she keeps to this day. Viktor seeing his daughter’s talent as an opportunity to get a foothold in the Aranimarium enrolled her in the prestigious academy.
Viktoriya, 14 years old, was too young to enroll, however, as a prodigy she amazed the instructors with her raw talent and was granted admission. Her eyes were opened to the many forms and methods of manipulating arcane energies. She could feel the arcane energy flow through her body, a most exhilarating and sensual feeling, as she cast her first spells. Viktoriya was hooked, she vowed to herself to harness this fascinating energy. In time she developed the ability to actually see magical auras. The young apprentice, in her history studies, learned of many powerful magical artifacts and locations and was intrigued by their legends and myths. She wanted to find these magnificent items and feel the arcane power locked within.
Many of her classmates were jealous. Kryton Malinka, in particular, a very talented young man was obsessed with being the best. He was infuriated when Viktoriya, 2 years younger, earned first chair in their class. Calling her a privileged spoiled brat, he has harbored a deep hatred for her ever since. Viktoriya went on to more advanced studies where she began to combine her arcane abilities with the teachings of the wizard masters of the academy to become one of the few arcanist students. At the age of 17, Viktoriya graduated a year early with honors from the academy.
Viktoriya, now a young woman, seeks the artifacts and myths she learned of in her studies at the academy. With financial backing of her family, she wants to explore the world seeking limits of the arcane arts. Viktoriya travels using her father’s connections with many trading consortiums. Her ultimate goal is to be able to tap into the raw arcane essence of existence and feel it flow through her being.
