Wow, you must be getting tired of all these ideas... but anyway! I thought I'd post to see what people's general reaction was. I've been play.30ing with the idea of Illyria for about half a year, and am still enthusiastic about her, so I suppose that has to count for something. And, if you got to SHS, you might notice this is the same idea I posted there, just more.. fleshed out. But that was months ago, before it WAS SHS, so you mightn't ve. Anyway.

I'm not so crash hot at coding, so I might need someone to poke when something doesn't work who can point out my blindingly obvious mistake, so if anyone would like to volounteer that would be brill. If I make her, that is!


Okay.. to the idea...

Illyria is an elven ranger/cleric from the Isle of Evermeet who <CHARNAME> & co encounter in a new section of Tethyr Forest (new area). She seems a little disorientated at first, but seems to get come back to herself soon enough. She is a rather dialogue-heavy character, and enjoys conversing with the other NPC's and <CHARNAME> quite a bit.

She absolutely loves books, a love transferred to her by her previous mentor, Oralle. One of her other history is culture - she is especially fascinated by Drow history and culture, as much as she is disgusted by it. 

She grew up on the Isle of Evermeet, a place rich in history, cutlure and magic. She was pitied because of her half-elven heritage, but had a happy enough childhood. She found life was a bit slow on Evermeet, and although sometimes she enjoyed it, most of the time she wished to be free.

So she cut off her studies, and travelled around a fair amount of Faerun by various means. She spent almost 6 years travelling, before coming to Amn to see her brother who studied with the Cowled Wizards. 

Although she was fairly well travelled, she didn't really get along well with many people - her slightly exotic good looks were viewed with suspicion and even scorn in some human communities, and she was viewed with pity by the Elven communities.

In Amn, she met her brother, who was about to become a full fledged Cowled Wizard, and spent a few happy days catching up with him before he was called off to catch one of the many renegade mages in Athkatla. 

She decided to travel to Tethyr, and by chance happened upon a beautiful glade where she decided to stay the night. She was plagued by terrible nightmares of being stalked and killed, over and over. She woke up in the very early morning to find a Beholder lying on the ground, seemingly dead, only a few metres away. Overcoming her fear, she crept towards it, noticing a strange talisman hanging on a necklace on one of its eyestalks. Hesistantly, as though it would wake up, she removed it and heedless of all the warnings she had recieved of dark magic items, she put it on. She suddenly heard a sigh escape it, and a small spark of light appeared in the air. It flew through the air towards her, and she ran, screaming, into the darkness. It followed her, finally catching up to her and with a force that knocked her out went into the talisman, finally going out, leaving a beautiful red gem in its place.

This is where you find her lying, unconscious, in a forest. She is a bit disorientated, and hisses and you for a moment before realising you couldn't understand it. She speaks haltingly, as though she barely remembers Common, and asks you to help her out of the forest. 

Uh, so, yeah. Sorry for the long post XD I've written a few banters, with some help from a few friends in a few cases, so if you'd like me to post one or two just poke me.[/u]
