    Branan Frostbite:
    Well I always envision Branan to act mostly like:



    I'm not sure if I manage to get this across in the continued intelligent, yet always strangely calm and measured voice I try to imply when roleplaying him, but I try. Also now if u see me rping u can now Imagine the way Anthony Hopkins spoke as Hannibal . Although I didn't base him off Hannibal that is the way I roleplay him in many ways, through his constant observation and calculating individuals value and abilities Branan has taken on a very Hannibal esk personality in my mind... Well, he doesn't eat people tho..., but theres always room for growth lol

    Durin Rustbeard:
    Durin I would say is a mixture of my favorite FR dwarves. A bit of Bruenor Battlehammer, Thibbledorf Pwent, Ivan Bouldershoulder, Branak Bronzeanvil, and General Dagna. He leans more towards Pwent and Ivan, but has some reminiscent leader like qualities of the others, but mostly just a crusty hardened dwarf

        Horrik is based off a custom barbarian clan we had on the old NWN1 I use to help run. Lots of norse was involved in their language and customs, as well as generally wanting to be a group of people that live off the land and want to be left alone most of the time But no real inspiration in popular culture of anything.

          Hano Fetten was based off the average Joe; just a kid, a son of a blacksmith, that dreamed of being a paladin and had the dedication to go through with it. It was through IC events that he was hardened and he became unwavering.

          Zack was a standard tiefling based off a few psychopaths; outcast, hated, and never quite accepted. It resulted in his cynical and entirely self-centered nature, and lead to the creation of his alter ego 'Zack' by his mind in order to validate his entire existence of mere being - rather than accepting he was only an outcast born to live alone, he had to believe that the world needed him for something grandiose, lest all of his surviving and hardships been for naught.

            Anyway... My characters are based off of random thoughts. Aeriya is based of of my psychology class with Sanity thrown in there. O-o

              Clavin is based of theories more then people.

              Its more a charactor that questions things by his very existance.

              "does the means matter more then the ends?"

              "Is law more important then justice"

              A charactor meant for tragedity, as What he is has changed but not WHO. Which once known usually gets him ran out of a town.

              Personality wise its a very passive person who does attempt to hide what he is. Yet is very helpful to any that ask, or willing to listen or talk to anyone. Alignment would be LG if not for he has used questionable if not imoral means to do things which would be considered good.

              Once he gets further in level I expect him to be a bit more comical, and at other times a walking show of horror. As in the story "old geezer' it shows he has a backpack which is actually just a zombie tied to his back, eventually I hope to show that his belt, amulet an other things are also not as they seem.

              Sum him up would be "A man who paves the road to hell". Full of good intentions just using fire to fight fire.

                Most of my characters have been "gimicky--" a gay dwarf, a wild hin who can't speak Common well, etc. My early characters were more thought-out, but DM time has really cut down on how much personal character development I can do.

                There were two that were inspired from other sources. I have a mage based on a combination of the Spider and the maesters from Song of Ice and Fire (a whisperer and servant). And I have a bard that used the Book of Enoch's story on grigori.

                  Lional is based on a characteristics that I detest in reality (vanity, egocentric, false modesty, ...) combined with a bit of Don Quichotte-like manners and toughts.
                  Current characters:

                  Stark Goodwill:
                  Entrepeneur and co-founder of "Stark Enterprises"

                  Rogno Redapple:
                  A hunter who's lost his cause

                    For Mozgul it was complicated. I'll get back to him.

                    Juggra was an old character I played for years back in NWN1 on City of Arabel. Juggra was based mostly on my son who was just learning to talk at the time and his language was very basic and his concepts of things were so innocent and child like. Juggra was played as a 2 year old. To that I added brute strength and frustration and he soon became the dangerous oversized child.

                    He was then taken in by a player group who made him more like a 4-5 year old and happy to impress mummy and daddy with the things he does.

                    Back to Mozgul.

                    I made Mozgul when I logged on to this server for the first time.

                    He was the voice and mannerisms of the developed Juggra but obviously having the wisdom of a druid I had to make him less idiotic. Mozgul this developed depth and understanding. So there was this idea that he should sound dumb and orcish but come out with profound and constructive comments even if there was a lack of intellectual understanding in the things that he was saying.

                    I thought of the old native american wise man with his pipe and contemplative slow thought out ways. This was a heavy influence on the Wisdom/druidic side of his person. The rest goes back to Juggra and is basically my son.

                    How messed up does that sound.

                    Let me confirm something incase in a few years my kid is old enough to log onto this place and read this.

                    Juggra is loosly based on the mannerisms of my son aged 2 but is also a bit retarded and idiotic. My son is not in any way idiotic, I just added that to Juggra.

                    Wow i'm digging here...

                      I think dram would be based of what I use to want to be. When you’re younger how you want to be an assassin... The thief part is just because at party I can do tricks for people like making there watch appear in someone pockets... But anyways that is what dram is based off of.

                      Nata on the other hand is based of the look of lauan but everything else was from a guy I played football with thought he was the boss and people feared him... But yea there we go.

                        The current character I'm working on, Drustai, is based off of my former WoW character of the same name, a Draenei Shadow Priest/Frost Mage/Death Knight (having leveled her up to 70+ in all of said classes). She was originally made as an anti-hero, being from a good race but having been consumed by a lust for power, then freeing herself from that, yet hating herself for her fall and subsequently embarking on a solitary crusade against all evil, regardless of the means, as a way to repay her debt, which in turn requires the pursuit of more personal power which is in turn causing her to slip into evil again. Her personality, particularly the lonely crusade against a hated enemy as a way to escape one's own failures, was partially inspired by both Maiev Shadowsong from WarCraft and Demona from Disney's Gargoyles (a show who's main villain should be the inspiration for Lawful Evil everywhere).

                        I've been trying to make the char on Sundren ever since I first started here, but I could never settle on a race/build.

                          Myself I am still trying to figure out a way of talk and personality for Wizmar.

                          Its a sneaky gnome who doesn't hide himself just his intentions. Rogue/wizard/swashbuckler/aracane Trickster. Generalist wizard.

                          Most important part to me with my charactors is they act and talk different.

                          With Ashinet she uses "ya, donna, 'n" and such in her talk, along with slang.
                          Clavin uses proper terms, full words and would say "Yes" before ever saying aye.

                          Mostly its kinda an ooc joke about Ninja/pirates. Instead its a Pirate/wizard.
