Well Cha 12 isn't that low really - yes it's lower than romancable Bioware females, but I always felt that their charisma scores were a bit more than they should have been, if you consider what kind of person's they are. 12 is still top end of average person.

But if you want a higher cha perhaps the following:

STR 14
DEX 17
CON 15
INT 14 (still very intelligent)
WIS 12 (top end of average, especially if she's still young)
CHA 14 (better?)

These are good scores. I agree with them.

I already said yasu: If ya need help, I'll help ya, but I do have my own mod I'm making so you won't get full attention

Still modding the Mod for the Wicked... It is a big project you know... And I got sidetracked (several times) a bit... sorry.

I am gonna help you with this Bio :) make it alittle easier to read and more professional...

little bit of history:

Kaiyu's mother hailed from the eastern lands of the Kara-Tur while her father hailed from the west. As a child she was abandoned by her mother and made to work as a pickpocket in the Amnish city of Atkathla. Growing up, she found that the only person she could trust was herself. Naturally she had come to be known as a mysterious lone wolf of sorts.

(Insert paragraph about Dashka here)

So a few years later she walked in to Dashka's home, looking for more work, and found him lying dead on the floor with a dagger through his chest. Worried, she kneels down next to him and pulled out the dagger, hoping that there might still be a way to save him. At that moment, another of his thieves walks in and screams at the sight of the two of them. The thief then accused her of murdering Dashka and ran out before she could explain what happens. Fearing the law she took to bagabonding it about southern Amn. Never staying in one place very long.

Later on she sees the PC in battle and knows that this might be the only hope she gets to clear her name. If you let her join up, then you made the decision to help her. This might be kind of detective work at the end since she has nothing to do she asks if she can stay with you or else she will continue her life as a pickpocket.



She is scared that if she gets close to anyone then that person will leave her one day. This is why she refuses to love anyone, even if it means being alone.
^is a personality trait not a history piece

edit:
Made a few mistakes of my own on the second to last paragraph

Okay history is long Xaositect_Crayon. Longer then most NPC's. Wander if that is necessary

Yasu, I don't want be sounding annoying, but you let really a lot of the work be done by others (bio, banter coding, portrait) -_- , it hardly becomes your mod. It also took me some time, trust me. However I'm the only writer on my mod, so Kido, Ariena and Zartran are really mine, and that feels good!!! :wub:

Don't want to brag, but perhaps it is a good idea, if you want a good example, to download Kido and decompile his .d files by using weidu. He coded very simple and straightforward.

First try that. If you still don't get it, I will code a banter or two for you. One with the PC and one with a NPC and then you can see how it works. So you can continue the work. Asking sometimes a question to me about something special

One more thing I see you are leaving for two weeks, but after that I will be gone so either PM me quick or I won't be able to help you, at least not when you come back. Because I'll be gone for three weeks then

Because you haven't reacted yet Yasu, I reckon that you are already on your two weeks holiday. As I said before I will leave aswell for three weeks. I will leave at the 10th of july. If I am gone already before you come back I tell you this;

Look at Kido and Ghareth (he was my main example) and see if you can understand them. If this doesn't help you I will code one banter for the her with the PC and one with the NPC. And you can code the rest of the banters I hope.

If you still don't get it I will code everything. I will code the .tp2 and .cre for you no matter what, but I do wish you to try and learn something. :edwin: Okay?

I don't know if you are going to record any sound files, but if you do I will also revert them to .ogg files and write a very small program to change them bak to .wav files when you install the mod. This makes the mod smaller and better downloadable.

Is the agreeable? Enough help? :lol: :P Will here from you probably in a month or so

:lol: Im sitting in an internet cafe in vietnam..the chair is so comfortable..hehehehe B)
WOWOWO
so much!! are you really willing to do so much work??? wowowowow thanks!!!
Yes you do sound annoying..just kiding!! hehe--ok yes im sorry im sorry im sorry, it's just that I really dont know much and I admit that I should have started learning before I start making. So I thought that I would like, put all my ideas in some file, write up all the banters, dialogues and whatever and do everything but get someone to put it all together to make it work. so..that's kind of why..
It just hasn't been working out that well....hehhehehe :rolleyes:

Hmmmm. My first reaction was "she doesn't look very asian" but such things are in the eye of the beholder (and she's half as well) so take that for what you will.
You'll need to learn the coding at some point. I'm sure you'll want to make changes or additions in the future and you'll need to know how to code to do that. I admit it's a bit rough in the beginning but it gets alot easier once you start doing it (I know, just started myself). Anyway, if you have questions, just ask. I'll be happy to help where/when I can and, as you said, this is a pretty friendly place. Posted Image

Ihmeellinen meri

Kummalliset kalat liukuvat syvyydessä,
tuntemattomat kukat loistavat rannalla;
olen nähnyt punaista ja keltaista ja kaikki toiset värit -
mutta ihana meri on vaarallista nähdä,
se herättää tulevien seikkailujen janon:
mitä on tapahtunut sadussa, on tapahtuva minullekin.

I can help wiith some of the banters if you want... but just to note some cliche's I find... unnamusing
so if you decide to add a bunch I might go for "adequet" instead of "outstanding"
