Okay I gotta admit I am stunned to be able to play a Psi in Ravenloft. I shall continue to think deeply about the implications of this so that it neither disrupts the ambiance nor pisses off the Mists.

Ranger here. Undecided at this stage whether he'll be more into bows or melee. Thinking the former, but depending on how other things shape up, could go the latter.

I tremble.
Great. What should we do about the Orcish language? And the 'Orc Blood' ability?
What does character look like?
Grim is obviously of fey heritage, but without any of the beauty, elegance and social graces. He is lean and muscular, built on powerful bones, and carries a strong brow under which he rarely composes an expression that suggests anything other than anger. His large, pale-green eyes eerily suggest something other than fey ancestry.
The rest is for Rad:
Where is the character's family?
Dead. His parents were burned at the stake while Grimnebulin watched, long before he was even able to conceive the hate and cruelty of the mob which cast them into the pyre.
What is his greatest love?
The old witch, Geeta, who rescued him from the mob that took his parents and raised him is like a mother to him. He worries about her constantly but understands that she is so old he will probably never see her again.
What is his greatest regret?
That he has not realized the dreams he has nightly--dreams of burning the village in which he was born to the ground.
What makes his skin crawl?
Executions.
What is his greatest shame?
See secrets.
What fascinates your character?
Sharp blades.
What are his habits?
When he has nothing other to do he obsessively sharpens his sword.
Is he rational or passionate?
Grim is usually rational... until, that is, he is witness to mob mentality and societal cruelty.
Is he sophisticated or superstitious?
He's not well educated, but he bows before no spirits or gods.
How strong is his faith?
He has no faith in anything other than himself.
How self-confident is your character?
Very.
What drives your character to adventure?
Repressed rage.
What are his secrets?
Grim's parents were not of the same race... his mother was an elf, yes, but he never tells the truth, that his father was caliban. The shame he feels at this is in constant conflict with his sense of loss.
Question: Who doesn't have a copy of the Ravenloft Player's Handbook published by Sword and Sorcery?
This will not disqualify you. I just want to make sure everyone has access to the information.
I have read it cover to cover and have a pretty good memory of it.
I have the 3.0 campaign book, but from your first post it seemed as if there's a 3.5 version?
Just to check if it's the same version we have the ISBN# on the one I have is: 1-58846-075-4
Haven't read it fully yet, but I also have pretty much every 2nd edition Ravenloft book published (well, had, sold a couple of the adventures).
I have the 3.0 version, because I couldn't get the 3.5 one. I'm pretty familiar with the setting.

A prospective domain lord.
Ok will be setting the game in the capital of dementlieu. There is a thriving community of stage magicians there, I recall. Will post the name later.
Players should include a reason why their characters are there. Some may be there for work, others for reasons more personal like tracking the person responsible for some past tragedy. But I leave that up to you guys.

Not if Grimnebulin accidentally decapitates him. Happens now and then.

Damn, I just realized that Dayenn was too weak to wear studded leather armour without clunking along like most people would in platemail and had to downgrade.
