Name: Lashantha Al'Carne
Age: 157
Race: Drow
Hair Color: White with blue tips
Eye Color: Red
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 160lbs
Occupation: Metal smith

Personality: Lashantha, like most of her race, has somewhat of a superiority complex, and can be sarcastic and witty with a good sense of humor. She has somewhat of a battle lust when it comes to fighting, enjoying the thrill and the challenge as if it were just a game to her. She is very careful of drinking though, knowing the effects of inebriation to be a weakness that might be exploited if she were ever in such a state.

Appearance: The drow has the dark skin and white hair of her race, with deep red eyes set in almond shaped lids. Her face is angular but not harshly so, still showing some softness that is partial to most females of any race. She is slender of form though tall for her kind, and densely muscled instead of bulky. When she's in a town for any length of time she takes to wearing a pair of silken pants and top as a monk might, though she always wears her leather jerkin underneath. and her sword belt belted overtop.

When out in the wilds or just visiting a town or city shortly, she is more comfortable in her chain mail shirt that hangs just above her knees and to her elbows, with a leather jerkin underneath and a pair of leather breeches and boots. A thick cloak to keep her warm on her travels is worn and patched but in relatively good shape. She almost always keeps her long hair in a single braid down her back.

History: Lashantha was one of many daughters of a noble house of her kind underground. Just one of the minor houses and nothing to be overly proud of. Just enough noble blood to be able to have an innate levitation spell, she was of no concern to anyone.

Anyone except her other sisters. Among the constant rivalry and deceit, they arranged for a 'meeting' for her to go to with a traveling band of gray dwarf merchants. Instead of merchants though they were mercenaries, hired for one purpose. To kill her.

She was barely able to escape with her life, and could not return home for fear that her sisters might finish the job, and was not up to such a task as to defend herself. So she left for the surface, to the menagere of Corone and was able to apprentice herself to a metal smith, working more in gold and silver. For her nimble hands it was easy and good work.

Skills:
Darkness spell: Summons a globe of darkness anywhere her eyes can see, globe is about three meters in diameter, and lasts about ten to twenty minutes.
Faerie fire: Lines an object or creature in harmless purple and blue flames, lasts about five minutes. Helps light sensitive drow eyes pick out their target in infrared and darkness.
Levitation: Only drows with noble blood have this innate ability. Can levitate one's self as high as they deem fit. Can last up to ten minutes, or can be canceled by the user.

Can see in the infrared spectrum, so is able to see in the absolute darkness of underground through heat patterns.

Equipment: The usual traveling supplies, as well as a small, hand held crossbow made of thin steel favored by her kind, though she cannot get anymore of the potent sleeping poison (it quickly looses it's effectiveness after being touched by any light) she makes due with a concoction of her own making. She keeps a few alchemical items on her as well such as mortar and pestle and a few herbs and ingredients.

She also carries a pair of Falchions, just of strong steel tempered and folded to make them more durable, as well as a pair of dirks, a sheath in each boot top.

Welcome to Althanas, I'll be helping you with this today. All in all its a short, easy profile but there are certain things that need a bit of clarification, though none that are bad in any sense. ^^

First things first: the multiple skills that you have should be listed out as a way to explain what each does, such as damage, range, and whatever else that could potentially be part of the skill.

I also need a type of wood used for the crossbow, the ammo she uses for it, and the metal for the dirks as well. And we'll start there.

Ah, alright. Thank's for that, I'm too used to Gaian formats of player bios.

Alright, not a worry. Things are run a bit different here, but shouldn't be too much of a hastle to transition, hopefully. ^^

For the globe of darkness, what does it do? Does it do damage? Does it just float? Is there a practicle application of the spell? Something small about that would be nice, so that others know, and I can make it relative to a level 0 depending on what it's used for.

For the levitation, could you please make it so that she can fly no higher than 15-25 feet for now, no faster than 17mph... this is purely so that it's fair if you decide to fight another player.

As for the items. Let's just go with 15 bolts, small arrows for a crossbow, made out of either oak shafts and steel heads or all steel since the crossbow is all steel. And edit out the part about sleeping poisons unless you have some to use. If it's not, and just something you can make with alchemy we can go ahead and list it up in the skills area and take it out of there. Alchemy: can make sleeping poisons (whatever else you want to add in here), average skill. (For example)
