Name: Gwendolyn (Rose) Stormhollow
Gender: Female
Race: High Elf
Age: 17
Hair color: Brown
Eye color: greenish brown
Nickname: Green Gwendolyn/ Gwen
Occupation: Rogue woodland ranger

PERSONALITY:
Gwendolyn is a quiet person who prefers scouting a forest than being in a group of people. She can be cold, most likely due to the incident with her father, but she can be a very lovable person as well. She is very laid back and serious, just getting anything done when it's needed. No joking around! Her nicer side mostly comes through when anybody is hurt, but she mostly is live in the moment and get everything done and over with.

APPEARANCE:
Her brown hair reaches down a tad bit below her shoulders. Spending life roughing it in the wild has put her into excellent shape.

OUTFIT(S):
- Green cloak
- Blue cloak
- Green ranger suite
- Green, longsleeved shirt
- Brown pants
- Brown, leather belt
- Leather boots

ABILITIES:
- 2xs arm strength (she can lift heavy rocks (two times the normal weight a person can lift with ease) and when she uses her bow and arrow she can shoot twice as far as an expert can shoot with a normal bow)
- 2xs eyesight (Her eyes are in incredible condition and she can shoot two times more further away with her bow and arrow)
- Spiral Arrow of Destruction: Gwendolyn shoots an arrow that "spirals" when it is shot. Whenever the arrow hits a target, it drills into it. The damage is strong enough to drill a small hole through iron, dent steel, and drill a good sized hole (about half way) through a small tree. This can be used three times per thread.

SKILLS:
- Marksmanship: Expert: She is an expert at using the bow and arrow.
- Survival: Expert: She knows how to survive well in the wild - particularly forests and plains.
- Wood crafter: Proficient: the first bows she had were ones that she made herself. She is excellent at creating any weapons made of wood (bows, javalans, etc.) She cannot yet make a crossbow or staff.
- Stealth: Proficient: She can easily stay hidden and sneak around.
- Weapons Smith: Basic: She can forge small, basic weapons from metals (knives, daggers, arrows)

WEAPONS:
- Iron shortbow built for shooting extra quickly in short distances.
- Oak longbow constructed to shoot further away than normal.
- 5 yew arrows
- 5 iron arrows

EQUIPMENT:
- Bag that she keeps most of her stuff in. It is made of animal hides and has various pockets and slots
- Three arrows with hooks instead of tips with sturdy ropes attached (used for climbing up cliffs and some massive trees)
- Regular tree chopping axe made of iron (could also be used as a weapon but she dislikes doing so).
- Smithing hammer made of iron.
- Golden ring with red gem on it. Passed down from her father.
- Twelve Healing herbs.

ARMOR:
- Brindigine with cloth hood attached.
- Boiled leather top with long sleeves.
- Long, leather gauntlets.

FAMILIARS:
- A large, brown hawk named Stalker.
- A tortioushell, variously colored, female farrell cat named Widow.
Notice: As of now neither will be used in battle threads.

HISTORY:

Born under the name Gwendolyn Rose as the third born of Layla Rose's older brother Lai Rose, Gwendolyn grew up traveling the world with her father and two older brothers. The oldest brother, Layn, left the family at age eighteen and the second youngest, Lawshel, died of trechfoot which the family was crossing a marsh.

Lai took extra care of Gwendolyn after the death of Lawshel and taught the girl how to knife fight and use the bow and arrow. Gwendolyn, born in the wild and TO be wild, took up the wild life to a fish to water. She and her father took up living in the forests and grasslands with ease and Gwendolyn became extremely close to her single parent. Lai taught her how to make shelters and even weapons with even a pile of sticks, and he also taught her how to smith an iron dagger when they stopped into a town... however these times were due to end.

When Gwendolyn was in her mid-teens, her father joined a mercenary ranger group and she followed. Lai had hoped to make a new opportunity for both of them by this, but his daughter was rejected by the group because of her being a female and how young she still was for an elf. Lai tried to protect her and passed on all of his new ranger skills to her, but it was soon apparent that Gwendolyn could not stay here. Thus, Gwendolyn's own father deceived her. He took her discomfort around the rangers to advantage and lied to her, setting her up. He told her that he had chosen his loyalty to the rangers over his own daughter and that he wished that she would have died instead of Lawshel and then the man attacked her, driving her away from the group until any "real" damage was done... although in both their hearts damage was already dealt.

Gwendolyn was on her own.

Now the character sheet is complete! (If the dumb internet connection was better it would have been done half an hour earlier!)
Anyways, if I give my character a third ability, would I have to give up a weapon?

Hello and welcome, Gwendolyn! Nice character sheet (:

To answer your question, no. You would not have to give up a weapon to add a third ability. However, there are just a few minor things I must ask you to change.

First off, I need you to have 10 arrows(yew or iron, not steel) at most. I will allow the three grappling hook arrows on the condition that you don't use them to attack anyone in a battle. Using them as you wish in a quest is fine.

Secondly, if you want to have a metal shortbow, it will have to be iron for now.

Third, I would prefer if you elaborated a bit on how heavy of rocks you could lift with your enhanced strength, and how much farther you can shoot. (2x farther? 2 times farther than what?!)

Lastly, you can keep your familiars, but you may not use them to attack anyone in a battle under any circumstance. You can use them in a quest as you wish.

Let me know when you've made any changes you want.

Okay, I think I've got everything edited you want, and I'll be adding that third ability soon...

Also, about the familiars, I think I saw another person with more than one familiar. They were only allowed to use one per thread but they could be used in battle. So in Gwen's case, I could use only the hawk in one battle thread and only the cat in the other. Can we change it to that, or has the rules changed since that character sheet was approved?

Here's the deal with familiars: If you want to use it in battle, it counts as an ability and would have to be stated as such, with uses/limitations etc.

Really?? Huh... I was never told that with my other accounts.

Okay, the pets thing will be edited to say that they will not be used in battle threads.
