Name: Rade Ilphukiir Description: Standing at just under 5 feet in height (4'11" to be exact) Rade first appears as anything but imposing - though those who know her, know she's reasonably good at getting her own way. With her black skin, blood red eyes and stark white hair, there's no mistaking her heritage as a Drow. Best Feature: Her slim, lithe form, and striking good looks Worst features: like any other Drow, she's rather vain. She also seems to lack discipline, and the ability to take anything seriously, as well as - at times - displaying a marked lack of good judgment. Marital status: Single, and loving it! Hobbies: Singing, dancing, writing poetry, prose, and songs. Making people happy, educating people about her Goddess and the Drow who worship her Goddess. (though only if asked) Profession: Singer, songwriter, dancer. (Bard, just to make sure ya know ) Personality: Rade much prefers to rely on wit, persuasion, and a sharp mind to defuse potentially dangerous situations. however, if there is no other alternative, she will fight with a ferocity most would never expect from such a small, slim woman. Always ready with a joke and a smile, she prefers laughter to tears. Thriving on attention, she won't hesitate to sing, dance, or generally just entertain. She also enjoys a bit of friendly competition too, especially in her area of expertise, entertaining. Since her return, she seems changed, with a passion to defend that which she loves that she never displayed before. History: Surprisingly, for someone as well known as her, little is known about Rade's history before coming to the lands of Talus. Those who DO know, however, know that she came from a caring, loving family. Surprising, since she's Drow. Following in her mother's footsteps, Rade strove hard to be the best singer, dancer, and breaker of young men's hearts in their small community. She succeeded beyond her expectations. Deciding the small village she grew up in was no longer big enough, she bid farewell to her parents and friends, and set off at the tender age 115 to wander the lands. For five years she roamed, often subjected to cruelty and harshness due to her race. Nevertheless, she attempted to spread the word of her Goddess - Eilastraee - to the people of the lands through poetry, prose, song and dance. Some heeded her, many did not. After all, who in their right mind would trust a Drow? Especially a female Drow. In time, she came upon an island. A very strange island. For here, members of all races, both of the Prime and other planes, mingled and got along - mostly. Here, she was greeted with smiles and warm handshakes, not scowls and daggers. Deciding to make the place home, she remained long enough to get acquainted with some of the more 'famous' citizens, as well as with those of lower station. Some time ago, she suddenly vanished, to who knows where, only to return just as suddenly. ( sorry about prior post, didn't realise I wasn't logged in :x )

Minuet Bassenote Freeblade (prefering "Min" because folks had the habit of mispelling her name as Minute) Descrition: 31, 5'8", a blue-eyed fair skinned brunette human Occupation: Battlemage Deity: Waukeen Professions: Head of Trade for Freeblades (pending) Marital Status: Unmarried Best Feature: Wit and Business Savy Worst feature: Sense of Direction Favorite Saying: "Blood makes the Grass Grow" History: Minuet was born in Peridotia, Talus, one of six children of poor immigrants. At 14, she moved to Alvar, obtaining a job in the Stuffed Badger, working in the soup kitchen, taking in unwanted meat from hunters. It was there in her time off that she first started mining gems in the Gemstone Caves along the Road to Alvar and eventually became a level 18 jeweler. When the Freeblades arrived in Talus, she applied to become a member, training hard to learn the Greatsword (becoming a Weaponmistress in it) and mastering the Arcane ways of a Epic Wizard. With a firm grasp of magic, she started attending the Enchanting Temple to infuse her gemstones with magic to increase their worth. She became talenting in tailoring and won First Prize in the woman's competetion of Best X at the Freeblade's First Anniversary Ball. She worked hard to advance education in the schools and also helped raise money for the Lomatin orphanage which lead to the Freeblade's donation of a million Gold Pieces at the Anniversary Ball. She saw the banner of Tymora in the Devotation Temple, it reminded her of Waukeen and she became her God. She inspired her to use her poor upbringing, high intelligence and roguish talents to sharpen her appraisal skills in trade as well as her skills in seach and spot. She used her newfound skills in Teleport added to her wealth and appraisal skill, she became one of the finest shoppers in all of Talus. She asked Starlin if she could do some work within the Trade Ceneter and established the trade routes to the merchants in Talus. She moved into her childhood cottage in the Island Straits and is reworking and expanding inside and the outside landscaping. Min was on a trade ship from Lomatin to Peridotia, which was attacked by pirates. She and the sailors worked together to kill the boarding pirates but the battle resulting in the crippling of the ship. She helped many others to lifeboats before being forced into one herself. Once in the water, she and the other women in the lifeboat worked together to row and keep spirits up, despite the alleged panic and gloom of the Quartermaster. When a rescue ship arrived to rescue the survivors, Min assisted with the rescue efforts; her proficiency in languages an asset, she donated funds to help those less fortunate among surviving passengers.

Rade no longer has this feat. She will be taking it again, but not until about level 33, which wil ltake a long time for her to reach. You can decide if she's going into this "hall of fame" thing or not.

Mourn Description: Elf (possible drow ancestry), about 140 years old, Naturally pale skin, Well kept and braided snow white shoulder length hair, Black eyes Occupation: free agent Deity: none Professions: scout, lock picker, and duelist Marital Status: Single Best Feature: honest desire to change things for the better, good sense of humor Worst feature: quote “He has a side to him that would give most good men pause” Favorite Saying: “evening m’lady” Hobbies: walking in shadows, spying, also known to study shadow magic Closest Friends: Osa, Aelos, Milo, Aethil (if you call it friendship ), also rumored to have several loyal agents in his employ Current Enemies: UFTN (stole a book from them currently has a 500k bounty out for him for his arrest), The d**ned Legion (stole previously mentioned book that they stole from the UFTN, and also has an assassin order on his head), Vampires (rumors suggest that a coven of elven vampires is after him), anyone else that has a grudge against him (hard to keep track) Overview: A quiet loner he came to Talus awhile back and began falling in with the regular adventures, rumors during that time say that he was also seeking work as an assassin and spy. Though no clear evidence of assassin work ever came up his skills at spying and gathering information increased, around this time he meet up with Osa the self proclaimed queen of thieves and leader of the rogues guild who took him “under her wing” he quickly learned the skills of a rogue and became close friends with her and many other people among talus. Sometime after he started coming into his prime a vampire known as Lord Foebane began harassing the island of Periadotia and in particular Osa and all those close to her. Mourn took it upon himself to hunt him down at which point he encountered Meg a former friend of Osa’s that had been turned and corrupted by the Vampire lord. He hunted Foebane and Meg where ever they showed up until at last he cornered Meg in a graveyard. They fought and some how Meg took him down and cursed him. Escaping them he slowly started to go mad with hunger as the curse over took him nearly attacking Osa and her family on a couple of occasions. He was ready to give in when Ambrose Freeblade offered him a cure at first he refused but relented when another vampire he had befriended during his hunt offered to take the cure with him. It is unknown what happened but mourn emerged cured, but damage had already been done and mourn resumed his hunt almost blind with rage going as far to threaten several of his allies. Eventually he found Meg and destroyed shortly afterward Foebane was run to ground and finally put to rest, but it became clear that Foebane had hurt mourn deeply as he left and disappeared not returning until a few years later. He didn’t seem all that different though he remained mostly silent about his fight with Foebane and becomes upset at the mention of Meg’s name; he began training and shortly matched Osa’s skill if not surpassing her. She granted him the title of King of Thieves which he accepted happyily, but rumor’s persisted that Foebane had unlocked memories that Mourn wished to forget. Only his closest friends know what troubles him but something has been driving him as he has recently sought the elemental stones of power and almost brought about the destruction of talus when he crossed over into another plane before returning, he has also stolen “the book of the dead” which he kept for a time before it recently left his hands though he seems to be changed somewhat from possessing it for a short time, he has also been active gathering allies, and has also broken away from the rogues guild and left the title of King of Thieves. What ever his goals he is showing no signs of slowing down only time will tell what he plans and what it will lead to for talus. (will update as stuff happens, and it will )

Just another bump for any new players to the Talus boards recently.
I know this was a long time talking, but now, we actually have a building for this now and I once I interpret all the help I got on this problem before, I will be needing some characters to start stocking this so far empty hall with!
Again, for those who choose Epic Reputation for their character(s).
Also, as for villians or for those of a neutral and notorious nature, I've thought to add not a stature but rather some sort of "book" reference in the hall.
