A half-drow would be cool, you say, if done well, or is that more sarcasm? Is there a point in having a half-drow at all, or shall we just make her an elf from Faerûn?

Or better yet; how about a half-orc?

Ok, serious though, what are your suggestions? I've forgotten the count of all the times I've asked about this, so please just give me an answer...

As for the stats(thank you, Dr. Shaman):

Str: 13
Dex: 18
Con: 8
Int: 14
Wis: 18
Cha: 14

Or just out of pure fun, let's make her a male, elven cleric, a priest of Corellon! That'll be the day. The story and quests I'll think of later. Right now I'm going to bed. Good night!

Ok, now I know how to keep the old idea without making it sound like a Mary Sue. (I hope)

Her mother being a drow, her father being an elf, both of Alfheim(I grew tired of calling it "the Old World"). (Why didn't I think of this earlier, you might ask? No clue, is my answer) The drow and elves of Alfheim both protect the balance. The drow society in Alfheim is nothing like that of Faerûn, and Elenya grew up in the comforts and safety of Alfheim. Her parents went to visit Faerûn, but were attacked and killed by a band of ogres.
Elenya's grand-mother then decided to raise her, teaching her all about different drow societies and the drow tongue. Elenya was trained as a priestess, but also learned about the balance. She was then initiated into a coven of witches, learning to combine cleric training with druidic faith. (Witch capable of casting both druidic and cleric spells and turn undead, no arcane magic involved)
However, she longed for the road and wished to adventure. With the blessing of her grand-mother, she went to Faerûn, in search for adventurers. However, Faerûn's surfacers were not kind to her. She was either met by a wall of ice or chased out of the city, merely because of her parentage.

So she tries a new city called Athkatla, where she meets the PC. As she travels with him/her in the party, there will be the quest of saving Alfheim from the army of undead and so on.

Ok, I'm ready to get my head chopped off. *bows down*

Ok, I've calmed down now.

Elenya:

Race: Half elven, half drow
Class: Priestess of Corellon Larethian (Is that how it's written?)
Alignment: Chaotic Good

Story:
Being the youngest daughter in a lower house in the Underdark had never been beneficial for Elenya's mother. Only the slaves were less worth than her. The only honour she could ever achieve, would be to die for her house. One day she met a male elven slave. They fell in love but had to keep their love secret. He convinced her that their only chance would be to escape, but the chances of that actually succeeding were small. Being as desperate as they were, they seized on the first opportunity they got - and succeeded. Raiding parties were sent to the surface, and she disguised them as male drow. Once they reached the surface, they headed straight for his family where they found shelter.
A couple of years went by and Elenya was born. Her father brought her to the temple of Corellon where she was trained as a priestess. However, the elves there were suspicious of her and she spent many years in solitude. One day a human came by. He presented himself and claimed to be a priest of Helm. She let him in to the temple, where a statue of Corellon stood at the altar. It was made of pure gold and decorated with gems. It had been a gift from the dwarves and had stood in the temple for centuries. When the Helmite saw the statue, his eyes were full of greed. He asked Elenya to fetch him a glass of water, and when she came back, both the man and the statue were gone.
The other priests decided that Elenya was to find this man and retrieve the statue. Asking Corellon for aid, the god told her to go to Athkatla to retrieve it.

Now, there are two ways (as I see it) as this can develop once you've found the statue:

1. You can convince her to keep the statue to herself, melt it down and form something else out of it. Then she can sell it. (Play a lot on the fact that since she's half drow, the elves will never accept her) She will then become evil.
2. You can convince her to give back the statue, and she remains good.

In progress, mind you, but a lot better than all the other crap. Seems like I've developped after all. Keep pissing me off, Domi, and I might actually write something really good one day. :thumb:

That's finally the ideas I was waiting for, the creativity I was hoping for. Criticism after criticism when I'm new to everything isn't exactly encouraging, and when someone comes along and wants to change the original idea into something it's not, then I just give up. Plus, period and a huge, horrible stomach-ache isn't making things easier for me either.

How many times do I have to tell you: I'M NEW AT THIS, AND ALL I WANTED WAS TO DEVELOP MYSELF!!!

Is that too much to ask for? Is it really? Yes, I knew the story sucked, I made it perfectly clear that I wasn't satisfied with it. Luckily, there were some people who actually had some good ideas with what I should do without changing it into something it no longer was. I was even changing the idea for the witch class because I thought it was too powerful.

But hey, why not lock this topic before we get nasty and delete me from this forum, and you won't hear from my stupid parodies again, shall we?

I was being sarcastic, btw. If you thought my idea sucked, why didn't you just say so?
