About friggin time too. But not with Jack unfortunately. I've been reading a lot of stuff recently and the Duffster has me inspired to make an actor character. Also this helps me keep up with the profile cross computer as I work on it today.

Name: Julian Shuklance (pronounced shook Lance)
Age:20-ish
Race: Human
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Height: Six foot three
Weight: 170 pounds
Occupation: Theater Actor

Personality: Happy and cheerful during the day, yet prone to brooding over the events of the day when the sun sets. Julian can call very few people friends, but those who do know that he will help them when they are in need no matter what the cost.

Appearance: Julian Stands about six feet tall and has long brown hair that he occasionally pulls back into a pony tail or lets hang at jaw length, framing his sapphire eyes and elegant facial features. His skin is lightly tanned, and stretches tightly over a semi-muscular build. Most of citizens of Ettermire who live close to his play house envy his looks, and many a woman has fallen for him. His garb tends to vary on the day, and rarely stays consistent.

History:
When the necromancer Xem Zund rose to power in Raiaera and began his war William Shuklance decided to make a change in scenery. Leaving behind his forge behind he moved his family to Ettermire. Once there he lived in poverty for some years before founding a theater group and eventually scrapping up the coin for a play house. However William never lived long enough to see his first play preformed on it's stage. He passed away in his sleep, leaving the troop to his son Billium and his new daughter in law Katrina. The two ran the troop for several years peacefully, then Julian was born. Julian was a terror to the troop at a young age. He would always be underfoot learning the tricks of the trade. By the age of six he had managed to act his way into an orphanage for Dark Elves. By the age of ten he was reciting his fathers plays from memory. At 16 he acted in his first play and quickly won the hearts of the regular guests. At the age of 19 he had a brief affair with a noble woman that inspired his father to write "Rose and Julian" a hit play that won their troop several awards in contests.

However, Julian grows restless. He feels as if acting is not enough. He wishes to be a playwright like his father and grandfather. He seeks inspiration through the only means he can, Adventure and Romance.

Skills:
Above Average Acting: While Julian is no member of the Tantalum Trope, he is quite the actor.

Swordsmanship: Julian has an average level of training with a sword, allowing him to stand a decent chance in battle

Literacy: Julain's father would not raise an illiterate brute, instead he received a master level education in both reading and writing.


Abilities:
Dramatic Speech: When the right muse strikes him Julian can draft up a dramatic speech to stir a crowd of less than twenty people to join his cause in something. (Once a thread)

Above average Strength (1.5)
Average Endurance (1)
Average Stamina (1)
Above average Speed (1.5)
Above average dexterity (1.5)

Equipment:
Two iron daggers named "Comedy" and "Tragedy"
A steel sword dubbed "Encore"

Familiars: A black cat named Rose and a white cat named Blank.

It's really rough, and when it's done I'll be reincarnating Jack into this new account....

So I made some changes and would like some feedback...

RoG mods: Does everything check out? Also, if I reincarnate Jack into Julian what level will he be?

Regular players: Anyone interested with this character?

I believe you get half the XP in a reincarnation, that's what I have gleaned from my own reading into the matter. So Julian would be a bit over level 1 :) Anyway, I would be interested in writing something with you; we're both in Ettermire :D

I saw that Scar, I did a bit of reading into both your intro and your sequel, if you would like to write something I had Julien's first big thread planned out and it pertains to an ancient library. It's bound to have some info on your book...
Also can you link both of those threads in a pm so I can reread them?
