interesting.
would a very unusual race be ok? like a half-drow-half-shadow Dragon. (probably using race builder)
a Slayer or maybe a rogue.
Tagging an interest. It's been many, many, many years since I played in the FR so it would be fun.
I am fine with unusual races, just understand in forgotten realms there is a lot of xenophobia. Also, you can use any race up to 15 rp however you cannot build a race. I feel like there are already enough races built to fit just about whatever you want.
Very interested
Always wanted to play a money making cleric of Waukeen.
Quick Fluff
Hal, is a very charismatic cleric of Waukeen. He has been involved in the church for as long as he could remember as his father is a prominent importer of goods in Waterdeep and excessively devout to the god of coins. His father's devotion was so true to the church that he made arrangements for Hal to join the priesthood at the very young age of five.
Hal enjoyed the priesthood. He enjoyed the frivolous lifestyle, he liked some of the ideas the clerics envisioned to make coin. This is what he eventually excelled at, thinking outside the box and making money where others would not think there was any to be made. He was always tinkering with an invention, or finding a weird niche to supply services.
His latest business venture is a slow cooking barbecue wagon that travels with trade caravans between Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep that sells the meals to the caravan at night when they camp. This wagon contains several gentle Repose pre-butchered cows for meat and a permanent magical hot coal bed built into the wagon, everything else are trade secrets.
Recently Hal has joined up with a crew that shares a similar goal of hunting pirates. These pirates have been disrupting trade routes, something a cleric of the god of coins cannot just sit back and watch.
As for crunch high Wis high Cha and craft wondrous item.

Are there any Oracle Curses that you have problems with?
would you allow taking a template as class-level thing?
Dreamscarred press has solved the balance problem with psionics, you cannot spend more then your level in power point augmentation (except for the Wilder and a few others and that comes at a price akin to a barbarian's rage)
All that stuff was in 3.5's psionics as well. Dreamscarred merely updated psionics to be more in line with how PF classes work. Nothing incredibly broken, but psionic casters (and psionic martial classes) get more customization than standard characters—or at least through different routes—which is the sort of thing that got summoners frowned upon in the first place.
here is my characters fluff
(I hope that some kind of halfdragon is possible for this game)
Vier'tana Ken'aniate Female drow-half-shadow-dragon
Born as the daughter of a priestess(second daughter of the matron mother) from a union with a shadow dragon, to be a weapon in house Ken'aniate's fight for ascencion. Her treatment in her early years was somewhere between that of a common born girl, a noble born boy and a pet.
Vier'tana was trained to fight and kill, almost as soon as she was able to walk steadily, by an old cavewalker(her great-grand uncle). One night after the harsh training of her teacher, she was woken from her sleep by a black-gloved hand over her mouth. The hand belonged to a not very professional assassin, send by a rivaling house to take care of house Ken'aniate's secret weapon. But the assassin made a grave mistake in his lack of professionalism, wishing to see the light fade in his victims eyes, and by forgetting, that halfdragons can open there mouth a good bit wider then normal drow. Vier'tana bit of most of his hand, swallowed, rolled on all fours and jumped at him ripping out his throat with her claws. After the body was disposed the training continued like nothing has happened, the matron mother was pleased with the half-dragons first kill.
Near the end of her training was the first time she ever left the secluded rooms of house Ken'aniate. Those month she spend gliding through large empty caves, hunting creatures of the Underdark and learning how to survive in a hostile environment, under her teachers strict tutelage, where the happiest in her young live.
After her training was finished, Vier'tana having tasted the freedom of the wild underdark could hardly bear the live under the strict control of drow society. One night she sneaked out of her house, out of the city, out into the underdark. After barely avoiding a patrol send by the matron mother she decided to go to the one place, where no one would follow her, the surface world, a place evil and deadly.
Seeing the entry above me I have decided that in the name of Drow players everywhere that I must produce a Drow character that actually has...panache.
I humbly present Arcavato, a true Drow renegade if their ever was one. Also the position Arcavato would desire on board the ship would likely be that if ship mage, if he meets inspection GM I will expand background.
Beneath the noble caste of Drow society exists only two things... Slaves and peasants, admittedly it is hard to tell which is which...
Arcavato like many Drow proceeding him grew up terrified, scheming and undoubtedly evil. But their was a difference between Arcavato and his peers as they attended the Wizard Academae in Ched Nasad, this difference was where his classmates focused on betrayal to get ahead Arcavato focused on his studies and of course on remaining under the notice of fellow students and teachers alike...
To his credit Arcavato succeeded in both goals and in the process accomplished his third goal: knowledge. For Arcavato was stealthy enough to access virtually every section of the library unnoticed, he was able to plump the depths of numerous texts...
These texts revealed the secrets he sought, knowledge concerning the surface world and how to access it. For Arcavato had long come to the conclusion that he would never advance in Ched Nasad or indeed within Drow civilization...
The surface however was filled with opportunity and under the guidance of the rights hands as malleable as clay... So Arcavato set off, unnoticed, unseen and unknown.
Arcavato is most certifiably evil but it is not blatant to most, Arcavato doesn't stick heads on pikes (for real), slaughter villages or do it just for kicks.
Arcavato is a schemer, to him every being he encounters is but a piece upon the great Sava board of life. A piece to be manipulated in the cause of Arcavato's goals and only discarded if necessitated by his plans.
Another example of Arcavato's style of evil is this, if he needs information and can't pry it out of you via a silver tongue he wouldn't bother with torture... He would just rip the information out of your mind via a spell (or more likely just read your mind without you realizing)
if you need a mainstream example of Arcavato think of Emperor Palatine and Order 66, that is the kind of thing that Arcavato would do.

Thoughts GM?
@viluki
The premise of the character is fine, but I really don't want any evil characters in the party. However I do love the flavor and if your character can stay in line with the party And perhaps even grow to be friends with some of the crew that would be great. Basically I want your character to be at least some what emotionally invested in the crew. P.S. love the jarlaxle feel.
@ sockmonkey
Again I am really digging the flavor here guys. Can't wait to see the crunch
@ Yokaiboy
The problem with letting a half Dragon enter the campaign is that templates like that tend to either fall way behind or are leveraged to be incredibly broken. I can't promise that I will or will not allow it but if you rolled the crunch I can review and compare with the others.
@ everyone
Honestly enjoying all the fluff posted and I think this will lead to some truelly awesome adventures. That being said, be very wary of being off shoot races. While allowed, there will be some heavy prejudice.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A brawler is proficient with all simple weapons plus the handaxe, short sword, and weapons from the close fighter weapon group. She is proficient with light armor, but not with shields.
Brawler's Cunning (Ex)
If the brawler's Intelligence score is less than 13, it counts as 13 for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites of combat feats.
Martial Flexibility (Ex)
A brawler can take a move action to gain the benefit of a combat feat she doesn't possess. This effect lasts for 1 minute. The brawler must meet all the feat's prerequisites. She may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + 1/2 her brawler level (minimum 1).
The brawler can use this ability again before the duration expires in order to replace the previous combat feat with another choice.
If a combat feat has a daily use limitation (such as Stunning Fist), any uses of that combat feat while using this ability count toward that feat's daily limit.
At 6th level, a brawler can use this ability to gain the benefit of two combat feats at the same time. She may select one feat as a swift action or two feats as a move action. She may use one of these feats to meet a prerequisite of the second feat; doing so means that she cannot replace a feat currently fulfilling another's prerequisite without also replacing those feats that require it. Each individual feat selected counts toward her daily uses of this ability.
At 10th level, a brawler can use this ability to gain the benefit of three combat feats at the same time. She may select one feat as a free action, two feats as a swift action, or three feats as a move action. She may use one of the feats to meet a prerequisite of the second and third feats, and use the second feat to meet a prerequisite of the third feat. Each individual feat selected counts toward her daily uses of this ability.
At 12th level, a brawler can use this ability to gain the benefit of one combat feat as an immediate action or three combat feats as a swift action. Each individual feat selected counts toward her daily uses of this ability.
At 20th level, a brawler can use this ability to gain the benefit of any number of combat feats as a swift action. Each feat selected counts toward her daily uses of this ability.
Martial Training (Ex)
At 1st level, a brawler counts her total brawler levels as both fighter levels and monk levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats. She also counts as both a fighter and a monk for feats and magic items that have different effects based on whether the character has levels in those classes (such as Stunning Fist and a monk's robe). This ability does not automatically grant feats normally granted to fighters and monks based on class level, namely Stunning Fist.
Unarmed Strike
At 1st level, a brawler gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A brawler may attack with fists, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a brawler may make unarmed strikes with her hands full. A brawler applies her full Strength modifier (not half ) on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.
Usually, a brawler's unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on her attack roll. She has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.
A brawler's unarmed strike is treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that modify either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
Mystery of Unfolding Wind (Su) At 2nd level, the winding path renegade adds 10 to the range increment of ranged weapons she wields and gains Deflect Arrows as a bonus feat.
Brawler's Flurry (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a brawler can make a brawler's flurry as a full-attack action. When doing so, a brawler has the Two-Weapon Fighting feat when attacking with any combination of unarmed strikes, weapons from the close fighter weapon group, or weapons with the "monk" special feature. She does not need to use two different weapons to use this ability.
A brawler applies her full Strength modifier to her damage rolls for all attacks made with brawler's flurry, whether the attacks are made with an off-hand weapon or a weapon wielded in both hands. A brawler can substitute disarm, sunder, and trip combat maneuvers for unarmed attacks as part of brawler's flurry. A brawler with natural weapons can't use such weapons as part of brawler's flurry, nor can she make natural weapon attacks in addition to her brawler's flurry attacks.
At 8th level, the brawler gains use of the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting feat when using brawler's flurry. At 15th level, she gains use of the Greater Two-Weapon Fighting feat when using brawler's flurry.
Maneuver Training (Ex) Dirty trick: At 3rd level, a brawler can select one combat maneuver to receive additional training. She gains a +1 bonus on combat maneuver checks when performing that combat maneuver and a +1 bonus to her CMD when defending against that maneuver.
At 7th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the brawler becomes further trained in another combat maneuver, gaining the above +1 bonus combat maneuver checks and to CMD. In addition, the bonuses granted by all previous maneuver training increase by 1 each. (For example, if a brawler chooses grapple at 3rd level and sunder at 7th level, her bonuses to grapple are +2 and bonuses to sunder are +1. If she then chooses bull rush upon reaching 11th level, her bonuses to grapple are +3, to sunder are +2, and to bull rush are +1.)
Hi there!
I'm completely, totally, absolutely new to PBP gaming! However I've been playing in and running games for over a decade now (my how the time flies) and am interested in getting involved.
I had started a thread and gotten a boatload of info on what kind of things happen, and I read the first page of the PBP guide thread, so I think I understand enough that I could actually try it out.
Uhm... let's see. Important info about me.
I am in the Arizona Time zone, so my hours don't change with DST. I am a horrible night owl, but anytime between 4AM and 11AM I'm probably unconscious. I work 5 days a week, but part time and I can actually use the forums while at work so that's not a problem.
I am an author as well, so I'm not unfamiliar with writing characters in the 3rd person limited perspective. I do love making characters with depth and backstory and sometimes that means not making the optimal building choices. ;)
I'm okay with playing PBP, but I'll probably need some guidance until I hit my stride. I'm kinda... one of those people who needs to learn by doing. I read the guide but it doesn't really *click* click until I see it in practice.
One thing I don't understand yet is aliases. I can't seem to make them.
Okay so anywho... is there still spaces for your game? If so, who is already in on it so I can think of something that won't step on someone's toes?
*bows head* Please take care of me!
@rungok: I have started PBP like a month ago, hopefully I can help you with aliases
1. click on My Account
2. find the field Messageboard Aliases click on Create New Alias
3. Imput name (and Image), click on save
4. go to your profile page rungok, select the Aliases tab, click on the newly created alias
5. click on edit and imput whatever information you like

You have to submit your full character according to the creation rules the DM gave, and if you are lucky he choose you when he do the selection.

Born to a poor, outcast family in the slums of the city state of Baldur’s Gate, Argus and his twin brother Rekkus were surrounded by suffering from an early age. As soon as they were able, Argus and Rekkus began lives of thievery to survive the harsh life of poor folk in Baldur’s Gate. Soon after reaching their teenage years, Argus’s parents died by the knife of a drunken pirate, near the docks of Baldur’s Gate. Rekkus took the loss much harder than Argus, and sought out a means to take vengeance against the pirate and his ilk. Argus simply delved deeper into his craft of thievery, and soon branched out into being a hired killer.
By young adulthood, Rekkus had made first mate of the Pirate Hunter Vessel {Insert Name of Our Ship}, and was beloved by the crew. Rekkus and his fellow Pirate Hunters were contracted by the Lords of Waterdeep to hunt pirates up and down the Sword Coast. Argus, however, was taken under the wing of a poisoner and killer, by the name of Velhara the Spider (a female, human Vivisectionist). Velhara taught Argus the ways of the Achemist and Poisoner, and the two were inseparable for many years. When Velhara, or Vel, received a very lucrative contract, she and Argus travelled to Waterdeep in search of prey.
The prey was none other than Argus’ brother, Rekkus, who was now the captain of the {Insert Name of Our Ship}, and was very successful in slaughtering pirates. Many of these pirates had bosses and friends, who would pay quite a bit to see Rekkus dead. Argus, however, was not informed of the target until it was too late.
While Vel gathered Intel on Rekkus, Argus sought out his brother to attempt to reconcile with him. Over the weeks of intelligence gathering, Argus and Rekkus reconnected and Argus learned much of what his brother was up to. Rekkus even managed to convince Argus to join his crew once his other business was concluded.
A month after they arrived, Vel informed Argus of the target; a ship’s captain staying at the Salted Kraken Inn. Vel gave Argus the room number, and when the target would be sleeping in his room. Argus poisoned his trusted Kukri, and set out into the night. Argus climbed into the room of the target, and then stabbed him in the heart, only realizing the target was his brother as Rekkus choked on his own blood. Argus was horrified, but regained some semblance of calm shortly after his brother drew his last breath. He then searched his brothers’ things, and gathered his brothers’ clothes and journal. Argus disposed of his brothers’ remains, and then snuck back into his room. For the next week, he remained within, learning all he could from Rekkus’ journals. When Argus was confident that he knew all he could of his brother and his brothers’ crew, he set out to find Vel.
Argus was furious with Vel for “forgetting” to tell him who the target was. The two got into a heated argument, which ultimately ended their relationship. Though Argus still loved Vel, he hated her for what happened to his brother, almost as much as he hated himself. Argus then headed off to the {Insert Name of Our Ship} to attempt to atone for his brothers’ murder, and to carry on his good works…
This is the fluff for Argus Ventra, murderer, scoundrel, and now Captain of this merry crew... if that is permissible.
Sorry didn't mean be MIA. Yeah as of now I haven't gotten a chance to review everything ill be able to get to it tonight however. Recruitment will close on Monday and we will start on Wednesday. I'll post who has been selected then.
@sockmonkey
Your domains seem acceptable. Gold is by level.
@ rungok
Yeah no worries. I am more than willing to take on a new pbp player, just worry more about fluff and backstory right now and your chances will be better.
@Yokaiboy
I haven't gotten a chance to look further at your entries yet. I'm posting from my phone so I'll look at it further later.
Okay after much time thinking, I have come up with my character application:
Nearly eight decades had passed since that stormy night and the crashed sailing ship. Eight decades since the nearby citizens of Highcliff rushed to the crash site to find few survivors; the cliffs were merciless that night.
It was only when the storm broke and the light of dawn shone down the coming day were the last of the survivors found, babbling wild tales of merfolk and water spirits. Several families were lost in the fury of the night's storm.
One man named Derek Shoresong, on the rescue effort, weary of the night's effort was picking his way across the rocks, returning home to his fearful wife when he saw a shape floating in the rocky shallows. Coming near, he recognized the all too grim sight of an infant in the water, seaweed and clinging to its pale skin. Numb to the image, he approached, only intending to give the babe a proper burial.
To his surprise, he discovered that the infant was not only still alive, but happily bobbing along, breathing the sea water as if it were air. Once he got over the initial shock, he collected the baby and took him home. He and his wife decided to keep him.
Xanos Shoresong spent many long years in Highcliff, growing up along his parents and eventually putting them to rest. His understanding of the sea nad the spirits was both instinctual... and one of the welcome oddities of Highcliff. Though viewed as strange by those around him, he had eventually been accepted as at least a helpful oddity aomng the town.
When his foster parents passed, he's found himself faced with a unique opportunity. Now he had the freedom to pursue a new course in his life. He sent word to his foster parents extended family to come claim the home and property, and taking his own belongings chartered passage to Waterdeep to find a new life for himself.
He heard word of the possibility of pirate hunting job. His natural powers, spellcasting, and learned skills would make him invaluable on a naval vessel. The fighting pirates part... He's not so confident.
And now without further ado:

Oh jeez I just realized I didn't even go over his appearance. @_@
Xanos shoresong's most prominent feature would be his hair. It grows from his scalp in thick locks of varying shades of green. He has taken to isolating the different patches of color into their own braids which he occasionally weaves with seashells he likes. His skin has the same slightly off white color of a clamshell, with his teeth the sheen of pearls. His eyes are like the sea in a storm, a dark blue with lines of light seen at just the right angles.
He wears a pair of pants and vest with forearm and shin braces made of braided eel hide over a plain white shirt, and so long as he is working on the docks or onboard a vessel he goes barefoot; the water and wood never seem to give him splinters or chills. When walking beyond his favored environs he wears a pair of boots that have seen more than their fair share of sea salt stains.
Though he can breathe underwater, he has no gills anywhere to be seen, though his feet and fingers have a little webbing between them. He believes that one of his birth parents might have been a lonely sea spirit, and his appearance lends credit to that theory.
His demeanor is like an ocean on a lightly windy day. He is calm for the most part, even considerate. He is as easy to read as the shallows of a tidepool, but just as the ocean stirs into a terrible thing when angered, so too does he have the capacity to rage and bluster like the very storm that brought him to Highcliff so many years ago.
His familiar, or his pet as he usually portrays, is a Dwarf Caiman (type of crocodile) he had named Chompy after an amusing first encounter with the creature. It has taken a liking to him, and now won't bite him, in the least. Chompy is a dark mottled brown and tan, with splashes of lighter olive underbelly and amber eyes.
Totally forgot to put Argus' class levels and archetypes: 3rd level Vivisectionist/Trap Breaker Alchemist.

reroling HP(wrong dice)
Zomblisham: Trying to correct my character submission a bit, I think I can work with the emissary of Blackstaff tower idea quite well...
Without further ado I present my reworked character, Arcavato Denexis.
Also GM a question, would it be possible to exchange a feat for 1 skillpoint and class proficiency in 1 skill? Just asking because the skillpoints just aren't there for a dedicated face.
Arcavato Denexis was born a Drow Noble to the minor House of Denexis, a House with an obscure lineage that no one could trace. Suffice it to say this obscure lineage obviously contained a powerful wizard or two, Arcavato was the third child born of Matron Mother Denexis and as such was to be sacrificed to Lolth's glory...
When the dagger was about to impale Arcavato's chest something happened... A flash of arcane light and a second later Matron Mother Denexis was dead, a dagger impaled into her own chest. While many successors of a Matron Mother would have killed such a child (via magic or crossbow) Arcavato's eldest sister did not...
Arcavato's sister was completely unprepared to take the mantle of Matron Mother, nor did she fit the standard mold: an impious fighter with no gift for clerical magic. Rather then kill Arcavato his sister raised him to be the arcane champion of the House, a rare title bestowed only upon Drow sorcerers.
However his sister was unprepared for the dangers of Drow politics and fell quickly (by Drow standards, she reigned for just seventy years). Arcavato however escaped the fall of his house and retreated to the legendary "Skullport" beneath Waterdeep. There he would stew for twenty years, he survived...barely.
Arcavato's existence in Skullport was rudely interrupted one day by a massive brawl within one of Skullport's taverns. In the process of using his magic to defend himself Arcavato accidentally saved the life of a Moonstar agent.
As the two escaped the tavern brawl the Moonstar in a fit of gratitude (and having royally failed his sense motive check) thanked Arcavato profusely for "saving" his life. Arcavato realizing that he had a gullible surfacer exploited this gratitude profusely and in doing so ended up at a most unusual appointment...
Arcavato waited in the atrium, his form was unbending and unmoving as he mentally counted the minutes in his head. As he counted down precisely to the last second the massive door to the Blackstaff's quarters began to open with a great creak.
Others might have quavered before the presence of Khelben Blackstaff, however Arcavato did not. To quaver was to show weakness and weakness here just as in Drow society meant death. The Blackstaff's eyes carefully examined Arcavato like a predator, judging all the characteristics that make one either weak or strong.
Then the Blackstaff spoke, his voice grave and foreboding.
"Arrum tells me that you saved his life deliberately, is this true."
Arcavato immediately spotted the dangerous gleam in the Blackstaff's eyes, Khelben already knew the answer: to lie would be pointless.
His voice perfectly controlled Arcavato answered, "no."
Khelben's eyes showed nothing as he spoke, "tell me truly then are you the same as your kin?"
Arcavato's eyes betray something akin to anger and indignation despite his best efforts to control his emotions, his answer once again was simple but this time much more empathic. "No."
The archmage's eyes calmly met his own and then flashed like silver fire, Arcavato's own gaze held firm as Khelben spoke.
"In what manner?"
Arcavato did not waver nor bow before what he saw in those silver eyes, to show weakness now was to face oblivion.
"I value self control, will, strength and ambition. I do not engage in pointless slaughter for the sake of an insane goddess's pleasure. My kin would employ torture to interrogate a prisoner, I would simply rip the knowledge I desired out of his mind in an instant."
Khelben's eyes returned to their normal hew and Arcavato could see something in them...approval?
The archmage's tone was suddenly brisk, business like but still laced with the raw power of a true archmage.
"If you desire power and status I can offer it to you, for a price. Serve me as my hand and you shall be rewarded with power and wealth. You will be the equal of any guild mage or indeed minor lord of Waterdeep and will have all the pleasures that come with such office..."
Khelben's tone is stern as he finishes the sentence, "and responsibilities".
Bowing his head slightly in a show of respect Arcavato replies formally, "as you wish Blackstaff".
It is no secret that the Blackstaff has many, many projects and plans unfolding across the Realms. One of these projects is the pacification of the Nelanther isles, either as a "protectorate" of Waterdeep or under the aegis of a "rightful king" (rightful=fears Khelben above all else).
This current crop of pirate hunters should they prove successful may eventually receive the attention of Khelben himself but the Blackstaff has many affairs to deal with. As such Arcavato has two jobs, the first is his role as ship's mage. His second is to observe his fellow pirate hunters for signs of worthiness and conversely failure.
To this end Arcavato has been given a special status at Khelben's behest, he is to be treated by the authorities of Waterdeep like a minor lord or guild mage and this is known to virtually all of the power structure within Waterdeep...
Ambition is my god: Arcavato is driven by ambition, the ambition to be something more then a slave to the Matron Mothers and through them Lolth. He desires status, power and wealth.
Patient: Arcavato knows he has an advantage few others do, an exceptionally long lifespan. He can afford to wait for decades if need be to achieve his aims. Life is not a murderous, hedonistic frenzy for him unlike his kin. Life is a Sava board and Arcavato will win this great game of Sava.
Not a yes man: Arcavato does not placate the ego of Khelben or anyone else for that matter, if he thinks your plan is a certain failure he won't have any trouble saying so.
Drow with honor: Arcavato does possess a surprising sense of honor, while his code of "honor" may be strange to paladins it would not be out of place or surprising to the more "organized" criminal groups.
Arcavato for instance has no qualms with taking hostages and if required no qualms about executing them. However he would actually take good care of the hostage, providing the basic necessities and abstaining from torture and other abuses (except perhaps interrogation via magic).
Another example would in the case of a siege or battle (that wasn't a stealth mission). Arcavato would before the onset offer fairly decent terms for surrender and would honor them, if they refused to surrender however Arcavato would have no trouble executing every last one of them.
Clad in his spider silk robes and his exotic Piwafwi Arcavato cuts an elegant, refined figure wherever he goes... His face is like his clothes and for those not overcome by revulsion to the Drow a quite handsome face to boot. His features also strongly hint at exactly who was was the mysterious progenitor of his bloodline is...
If Matron Mother Baenre gazed upon his face this thought would immediately leap into her mind,son...
Here is a image that would describe his face and hair style accurately,[url]http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs11/i/2006/221/f/8/Dark_Elf_male_by_ Untitliel.jpg[/url]
