My idea is for a Bard (Dervish Dancer if that's okay) named Caryyn. She's a Varisian that's clanless due to her original one being killed early on in the war between the Chelaxians and the Shoanti due to the Chelaxian's assuming her tribe was there to attack them. Most of her actions are done out of spite or the desire to add another dance to her repertoire.

Background:
Caryyn is either young or eternally in good health, it's hard to tell the difference. Many suspect she's barely out of her teens, others are determined she's pushing 30 and has a baby face. None bother to ask. They do not meet Caryyn for conversation. They come to see her dance.

She twirls and glides around as she performs, making her layers of scarves look like living paint as she darts around. Everyone gets a moment of the performance to themselves as she draws near, most swear later they had more coin on themselves the last time they checked.

When not performing, the young woman enjoys a nice meal or two and plans the next place to travel to. Those that catch her get to hear the stories that inspire her dances and her hopes for another adventure soon. Life gets rather boring when all you do is travel and steal from the invaders of your homeland.

When amongst her kin, she's a bit more outspoken. They stole the land that should belong to none. They anger the gods and mock their mystics. They killed her family with no regrets. She's aware she'll never overthrow the outsiders, that her people aren't after blood. With a heavy heart she grows tired of their smiles and trudges off to put a fake one on and take what she can before nostalgia of what she's lost drives her back to the nearest clan passing by for a bit of familiarity and comfort again. She's been offered a home in a few clans given that she can get past her anger. Caryyn is uncertain that she can despite her skill at hiding it.


I cannot think of things to spend gold on to save my life... Then again, I don't have the best strength score, so going light may be the best option... Other than that, my sheet is pretty much done. Well, both sheets. Torn between a character fitting Mystery and one better suited for healing...

Oh, you said there was a god of information in this setting? They have an official name?

So what's her deal? What does she do and why?

She gathers information, mostly for her own amusement, but partially out of feeling compelled to in order to understand the powers she never intended to have. Her weakened eyesight drives her to explore, hoping to memorize as much as she can about the world she lives in. She often joins other travelers as a healer, gathering information while making sure those that act as cogs in the machine of society are capable of functioning. Kelkii has never turned down a shady request, feeling that good information is rarely found out of the shadows, with that said, she seems to neither be for or against doing the "right" or "wrong" thing, preferring to simply see how things go.


Description:
Kelkii Baines is a quiet Halfling who seems to stare through everyone. Her voice is soft, but somehow easy to hear. Her dirty blonde hair often blocks her blue-green eyes, as if using them isn't necessary. Her near constant smile is almost eerie, but carries just enough softness to sooth those around them.

Halfling Oracle, clouded vision for her curse.


Missed the bit on alignment. Sorry, cold medicine is rocking me at the moment.


I'm debating between plotting an Oracle or Cleric, but I'm having a hard time deciding. An Oracle seems to fit the setting slightly more. Do you have a preference to either? Also, is there a required alignment range?


Did the googling with Aruetii, it sounds amazing. Let me see what I can come up with.
