Name: "Tom Joad" ... That's not his actual name, but it is the only name he is known by... maybe...
Age: 160ish
Gender: Deathknelve
Race: Male
Weapons: Bow, Dagger, and Sword, all of which are of mysterious origin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class: Whisperblade (What are the classes? We may want to firm that up. Let me know if you'd like a description of Whisperblade now... otherwise I was going to flesh it out in the story.)
Height: 6 Feet, 5 Inches
Weight: 140 Lbs.
History: After being raised in the typical tradition of the Deathknelve, as an extremely proficient fighter in battle, he set off to use his skills for whoever paid highest. His last job haunts him still - and so he has taken to hiding in a different town each week for the last year. Instead of using his given name, he prefers Tom Joad. He is known as a mysterious figure throughout Arscensia, to the point of almost being a folk legend; most people claim to have seen the ghost of Tom Joad and not the man himself. Which is exactly what he wants.
Alignment: Previously a neutral mercenary, his consience (he didn't know he had on) has turned him to the forces of good so that he may repay the debt he owes to that grieving family.

Considering how mush stuff Tom can do, 80 was a little young.

If you meet me:

Have some courtesy,

Have some sympathy,

And some taste.

Use all your well-learned politesse,

Or I'll lay your soul to waste.

My thinking concerning the deathknelf was that they wouldn't have classes because they all live to kill and to die, and there aren't enough of them to get away with infighting or anything. But if you want to flesh it out, then that's absolutely fine. Deathknelf were your brainchild originally, weren't they? If you want to change this, feel free to flesh it out at any point, or PM me if you want to check first.

But yeah, that's approved. I especially like the 'folk legend' part. ;)
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Hey Copa, I have a suggestion. Do you feel like meeting up with the group on the road, if we get attacked and you spontaneously come to our aid? I figure that would be a better way to introduce a deathknelf than in a tavern. Or whatever, really, it's your character and I'm not too bothered, I just thought that might be good in terms of plausible storylining. :good:
