09-04-07, 04:03 PM
Name: Sri Laa Vishen

Age: 30

Race: Human

Hair Color: jet black

Eye Color: dark brown

Height: 6 feet

Weight: 175 lbs.

Occupation: ex-priest

Personality [After the betrayal]: Sri Laa is someone who keeps to himself. He will interact with others and doesn't mind doing so, but any personal information he keeps locked inside himself unless he truley trusts an individual. When he speaks, there is a certain charm that rubs off him onto the listener, as his big dark brown eyes gaze into the other person's, but when he is angered that gaze can turn into an unforgiving piercing glare. Sri Laa isn't easily angered in a normal situation, but he is not afraid to severe a finger or slash a throat without warning to someone deserving of such treatment, which is usually a result of him being disrespected. Respect is a big issue with Sri Laa, and he will always show respect to an individual providing they return the favor.

Appearance: For someone first meeting Sri Laa, what you see is what you get. He does not wear masks for any occasion as he is always straight forward and sincere. Sri Laa carries himself with his head up and good posture, showing confidence and integrity. His jet black hair hangs to his upper back and is usually not kept in a pony tail. Because of his wandering, he does not shave every morning, so anyone who bumps into him will probably see dark short stubble on his face. Sri Laa is not extremely muscular, but he is very toned and physically in good shape. There is not much excess fat on his body. Where ever he goes, Sri Laa is always dressed in fine clothes, usually a velvet burgandy cloak with black fur accents around the ends of the sleeves and down both sides of the front where the buttons are (although he never buttons his cloak up), that drapes just above the floor. Under that is a tight black sleevless shirt which allows him to move easily in a sword fight. He also wears black pants with black leather boots with silver buckles along the fronts that come up to his calves. He sports a katana that he keeps under his cloak on his left side with the shieth tucked under a black belt with a large silver hoop buckle. The belt buckle also has his black leather coin purse and a black leather pouch for small items. On his hands he normally wears black leather gloves as well.

History: Sri Laa was born and raised in Knife's Edge in the northern region of Salvar. His father was a humble blacksmith and one of the best sword trainers at a local temple and his mother was a contract house cleaner. Both parents gave Sri Laa the attention he needed as a child growing up in a dangerous world, and his father taught his son very closely how to use a sword, but more importantly how to show respect for someone so he would not have to use it.

Sri Laa was enrolled in school and learned the basics of reading, writing and even religion. It was religion that caught his interest and provoked the young student to further his studies in the field as well as continue his sword training with his father. By the time he was 20 years old, Sri Laa met a human girl, who was 18, by the name of Jasya Mareel. The two of them became inseperable and married 2 years later. Sri Laa continued his studies of religion and was working to become a priest. Jasya became pregant a year into their marraige and gave Sri Laa a baby girl whom they named Sorel. Never had Sri Laa felt such a happiness and love for anything like his family.

The gods have blessed him with such happiness.... but the other priests have cursed what they saw as a blasphemy. They saw his family as a barrier preventing the young apprenticing preist of fully advancing toward his goal of becoming a preist like them. One night as Sri Laa was studying at a library, the preists, in the name of their god, killed his family, but saw it as a good thing because now he could give his preisthood the attention it needed. Sri Laa went home to find his family killed in his home and knew right away who had done this atrocity. The dislike of his family was not a secret in the church... Sri made his way to the church with his katana inhand, ready to repay the "love of god"... (this is where I want to start my role playing, with Sri Laa entering the church to find the preists praying for their sacrifice.)

Skills:
combat: Long blade [above average]

-----Aqua Blessing [turn water into holy water for ceremonies or can be used as a weapon against undead]
-----Mind of Apostle [creates a barrier to protect against weak dark magic, however this does not always work. On a very rare occasion this spell can sometimes counter dark magic attacks]

-- A katana with a black sheath. The hilt is black ribbon with a silver butt and a silver circular handguard. The blade is 42 inches long

As you only have one skill with a weapon, I'll allow abive average, but you can't have advanced.

Also, please list exactly what Sri can do with his holy white magic.

OK, I have added my list of white magic and changed my sword skill to above average.

I hope everything else is in order, also, I could not find a list of deities on the site at all, is there a way I can find the names of them and what they represent so I can better describe what kind of religion Sri Laa was studying?

That's a fair number of spells, they do seem rather weak but I'm going to put a few limitations on them anyway.

Holy Light will not always work when it counters even weak magic, however it can rarely counter stronger dark magic.

Hand of God - what exactly do you mean when you say it can turn the undead upon touch? If it kills them upon contact that will need to be limited, so that it drains his energy and he can't constantly keep using it. If it returns them to a living state it will need to be limited as well, as that's quite a powerful trick.

Mind of Apostle, like Holy Light, it's not always going to work, but substituting that it will rarely block stronger dark magic as well.

Doing this to your spells gives them a bit more leeway and allows you to play with them more during quests and battles.

as for religion, on Althanas there are different religions. We have our Codex of Thayne Lore (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=294) which is the official religion of Althanas. However, some regions have their own religions as well that may or may not have anything to do with The Thayne. It all depends on what you're into.

Make those changes for me and I'll take another look at it. ^^

Ok, I made those changes for you :) As for a god, I could not find one that really suits him, so I may just make them a branch of a small religion.

I hope all is well with my character :)

Sometimes it's best to make things up for yourself, that way you can attune them more to your own character. ^^ If you have a hard time doing this, you can always look though the information on the different regions, I know some of them have their own religion and one might inspire something from you.

Your character is now approverized!

Welcome to Althanas. ^^
