Tiefling_Warlock 01-24-06, 07:08 PM	Here ios my Rouge/Wizard Hopefully PrC Daggerspell Mage/Arcane Trickster Raxiel was born in a small town in the north. His “Father” was a prominent elvish mage in the area while “his mother” was an elvish rouge/ranger assassin. The town was started by his father who, after amassing a lot of spells, hired some men to build the walls, and a tower. He enchanted the walls and the tower for long lasting, and strength, and started a small laboratory. After a couple of years a group of adventurers came by and stayed for a bit, bought some supplies, and left. They spread word around that there was a powerful Wizard living there and before Raxiel’s father knew it, a small town had been born. It was mainly some soldiers from a war a couple years back that wanted some peace and quiet. As Raxiel’s father learned more and more about alchemy, he needed more and more expensive components. So he took the role of overseeing and protecting the village, for a sum. Also some of the components weren’t exactly legal. So he hired some of the spies from the war to ship him a couple exotic goods from certain people. One of which was Raxiel’s mother. After a couple of years and some misfortunes forced Raxiel’s Father to raid some nearby caves for money. After they were ransacked, the town needed some more money, so he gathered a group of Veterans together to make a couple Underdark raids. One of which was Raxiel’s mother. Raxiel’s mother really had been double crossing the city. An envious fellow mage had hired her to take the money, for her own and spread the rumor of an even more powerful, richer city nearby, the one that the envious mage ruled. When that tactic didn’t work, the mage asked her to kill Raxiel’s Father. She figured that she would, after robbing and betraying him in the Underdark. During the trip she ended up saving Raxiel’s father’s life and falling in love with him and got married. They had a son, Raxiel. Raxiel was surrounded by magic for all of his younger life, so when he was five years old he asked his father to teach him magic. His father agreed and taught Raxiel some of the basics of magic, magic theory, and some basic Alchemy. Raxiel then decided that it wasn’t his thing and asked his mother the basics of thievery. She would have normally said no, but because of all the time he had spent with his father the past year, said ok. He viciously worked on the art of stealth and until even his parents couldn’t hear him. HE then worked with the guards on swordplay and alchemy until they could teach him no more. He grew bored and decided to go out for a bit. He found a nice grove in which he felt closer to nature, and spent some time there. During this time his mother grew restless. With her son’s absence (studying his grove) she believed that her husband had betrayed her and was doing horrible, and sick things to their son. The father believed likewise. Raxiel, unfortunately did not spend enough time at home to realize the tension very quickly, and when he did he thought that his father suspected him of stealing components or something. He went upstairs to see his parents arguing, yelling at each other. Before he could react a fight broke out, fuled by anger. During the fight a group of orcs, and drow, seeking revenge from years before saw the fight and attacked the city. The guards caught off guard couldn’t hold back the enemies, and the Orcs breached the walls. The Father and mother saw this and tried to protect the city but could not. In a last desperate attempt to save their son’s life the mother took Raxiel, and took a sword, shield, some armor, and a bow and arrows, and ran. His father stayed back to defend the town. Together mother and son ran through the woods to the river. When they reached it a boat full of villagers who escaped was passing by. Raxiel’s mother quickly put her son on board and headed back to the city to defend her husband, telling Raxiel that she would meet up with him. When the mother got back to the town the townsfolk were making a last stand within the Wizards tower. The tower (formerly 150ft. tall) was broken and only 20 ft. tall. With the villagers they held well, the veterans dug in and it seemed like the orcs decided that they weren’t worth the fight, but then the defenders where hit from the back by the Drow. They had scaled the tower and entered from the top. The defenders were surrounded. They fought valiantly, but none survived. Back on the boat, Raxiel worried greatly for his mother and father. the boat reached the town in which he was supposed to meet his parents, it was a large town of thieves and cutthroats. He rented a room, and awaited his parent’s arrival. The town happened to be the envious mage’s town, and when the necromancer (his name was actually Jean Erik Villon, with the bad French accent and everything) found out that his greatest rival’s son lived within his town he decided to see him, and to tell him of his parent’s deaths. He encountered his Raxiel and told him how his mother met his father in the woods, and slaughtered him. Raxiel could not believe it. Raxiel ran off (Jean’s intent was never to kill the young elf, just to cause as much pain as possible). Raxiel on his way to the town, followed the river, and retraced his steps. Unfortunately Jean’s spell subtly pulled him to a different site. He found his father’s corpse, with his mother’s dagger within it. He took his mother’s dagger, and swore vengeance against her, and Jean. He left, going far south, where he gained power, and experience, always living by his instincts. His mother’s treachery and his Father’s death by her hand scarred Jean. He no longer cares about most things, especially women. He suspects them, and is paranoid around them. He only touches them if it serves his goals and hardly ever works with them. He took his mother’s dagger, and swore vengeance against her, and Jean.

Suggestions, help, or and constructive, helpful feed back would be nice!

Tiefling_Warlock 01-25-06, 05:48 PM	He would probably be Chaotic Neutral, or Chaotic Good with some black streaks. This probably because of his history of betrayals, under certain curcimstances, like if he hears about someone else who has been betrayed, or betrayed someone he will fly into a rage, hunt them down, and kill them painfully. But apart from that he is honest, friendly etc. He also gets paranoid around women, and generally distrusts them. His hobbies include: archery, swordsmanship, living in the woods, talking about philosophy, (he has a couple strong beliefs) and debauchery. He is very serious about fighting etc. but will loosen up after getting revenge. His favorite color is blue. His favorite song is "Ring Their Bells" also known as the "Munchkin's Carol", and like gryphons.
