Iron Dragoon

Elladan Celebrindal looks fairly typical of his race. High cheekbones, thin jaw, long golden-brown hair, and silver eyes. His build is wiry, but he stands tall and confident.

But beyond that, things become.. slightly stranger.. Elladan is an avid believe in wide-area mass destruction, which is actually his main motivation for becoming a War Wizard. Though he is not randomly pyrotechnic, like the typically more unstable mass destruction advocates, his first response to solving problems is explosive force. He follows this 'quirk' with another: being rather perverted, and unusually open about it. In fact, he has gone so far as to coding his spellbook with excerpts of all manner of perversion; ranging from bawdy songs heard from bards, to romantized recountings from 'ladies of ill-rapute,' to his own experiences.

Needless to say, this sometimes causes him problems while trying to memorize his spells..

But, as much as this makes him appear to be a perverted idiot, he does it for his own reasons. Those quirks are, in fact, very strong in his personality, but he often 'plays them up' in an effort to make those around him see only what he wishes them to see. Like many of his kind, and many elves, he enjoys the more romantized things in life such as the arts, literature and history.. But since comming to the new relm, he's also fallen in love with the frenzied, passionate style of life the humans live. Full of action, color, strong emotions and strong bonds.

Some of the first romantic stories he heard of the new relm were of bandit-kings ruling over the ruins of lost cities and of their pirate bretheren ruling over the seas, going from one battle to the next and living their devil-may-care lives. Inspired by this, he set off to become one, and to learn the art of living for the moment from the short lived humans.

Through his learning of life from the humans, he's taken great pride in taking up their views on friendship and emotions. He is still trying to reconcile these views with his traditional up-bringing, however, and his facination with them often make his fellow Eladrin scoff and regard him as half-insane...

And sometimes, his human compainions as well.

Edit:
(In an effort to not be out done for character art, I here-by thieve this pic from the glorious Warhammer Concept Art files!)

This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

Edward

Kythaine is slender and athletic, with light brown hair, piercing blue eyes, and a ready smile.  He's a bit quiet at first, but opens up quickly.  He was smaller than the other kids growing up and while he's reached average height, he still tries to find indirect ways to win.  He's always been fascinated by the stars and took to navigation.  Sometimes he walks the deck at night, just to look at the stars.

Kythaine was about four years old when he was found by the Blue Rogues hiding in the burning ruins of a village and adopted by a childless couple.  He's sure his parents are dead, but he's had occasional dreams that have convinced him his little sister is still alive.  The fire itself didn't traumatize him, but he is a bit cautious about fires on shipboard.

Kythaine is loyal to his friends and will try to help those in trouble, much as he was helped as a child.  He knows his life could have been a lot shorter, so he tries to enjoy life.

Merc

Marcus is a tall muscular fellow with wild/rough wavy black hair, unkempt stubble that he never keeps cleanshaven, but neither does he allow to grow into an actual beard, and dark hazel eyes. He does not actually keep a dirty appearance, but rather, cultivates an appearance that makes him look different. In contrast with his facial appearance, the rest of his appearance is decently kept, and while he doesn't shine his armor or the like, he does take care from it gaining a dirty or broken appearance.

He doesn't speak much of his past, and there's really no reason too. He came from a fairly ordinary life and simply sought out his fortunes in the world, and happened to find himself involved in the pirate work through chance and talent. His moods tend to be fairly mercurial, and hard to predict. Perhaps he is still seeking exactly what he wants from life and out of himself. With the extraordinary opportunities for adventure and changes in the pirate life, perhaps he might find what he seeks yet.
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

Note guys; If you want a neutral opener, you were born in Pirate Island :).  You don't need to have come to it for any reason as most kids raised there join the island trade.
Well, Goodbye.

Stalker-chan

Well, since I did join this RP after getting asked...  I haven't found an image for her though,

A pale Northern woman crosses your path, her cloak unfitting for the normal climes of the islands, but as you pass, and the wind picks up, you notice that underneath the wavering cloak is thin, white silk blouse and heavy tanned pants.  Trying to paying no heed to her slim figure or confident walk, you move your eyes back up and straight ahead, catching sight for just a second of the pure white hair in the hood with the face of a young woman.  You blink for a second, just a second, and she gone from all sight.  Looking around leaves you with no clue as to where she went after you blinked.  After a few minutes of searching you give up, deciding that the cloaked woman was a figment of your imagination, or that plain brown cloaks hid people in crowds far better then you ever thought possible.

Hannah Oversight is a Northern cleric of Waukeen, the goddess of trade, coin, and wealth, with a lesser known aspect of sexual relations that pairs her follows with Sune followers quite well.  She speaks only Common fluently, but knows the insults and curses of several dozen other languages.  Her common weapon is that of a quarterstaff, unwieldy in the hands of most, she learned the weapon since she entered the service of her goddess after showing poor ability to use mace and flail.

As for why she's here, flight of fancy.
