Considering how much time, effort, and thought i put into playing my characters well and making them look awesome, I decided to collect screenshots and upload them to a Tumblr. I haven't figured out the details of how Tumblr works yet, made a theme, etc, but there are some screenshots up already.

You guys should know the Cast:

Lia Darksbane - Wood Elf - MI/EXE/TR -

Lia was born to loving parents outside the city of Quaervaar. As a child, she was loud, disobedient, and independent. She was always getting into trouble, and bullied other kids (even the boys) at school, because she was too quick to get caught. She only displayed true care when looking after her sister, Adrie, of whom she was very protective.
Hoping to reform their child, the Darksbanes sent Lia to School in Silverymoon, where was an awful student who never studied. Instead she spent her time drinking in bars and associating with less than wonderful people. Skilled with blades, she gained more influence in the streets, but eventually she felt the lack of purpose in this work and came to Neverwinter to make her life a more noble pursuit.

Makaria Fiendline - Tiefling - MoF/Thaum/CW -
Makaria was born to a wealthy human merchant's wife in Amn. Obviously the product of illicit relations, Makaria's father was furious at his wife's betrayal, but was too merciful to throw out the child or kill her. Hence Makaria grew up inside her father's wealthy home, but was not allowed to go to school or study or even leave the house, unless she was fully covered in robes. A lover of books, Makaria became fascinated with magic and even began creating small, dancing flames between her hands. Knowing well that her father would never allow her to study the magical arts, Makaria began to sneak out to Oghma's temple to find teachers and improve her skills.
Despite her clever ruses, by the time she was thirteen Makaria was sneaking out almost every night. Unfortuantely, her father was an intelligent man and eventually surmised that his ******* daughter was spending much of the time out of the house. When he confronted her, her mother became involved in the argument, supportin Makaria's curisoity. Inflamed by his family's disobediance her father lost his temper and began calling her mother all sorts of awful things, reminding her of Makaria's true parentage. When Makaria interviened to protect her mother, her father struck her and sent her careening to the ground. At this moment, Makaria lost control of her powers and the Library was catching fire upon every open page.
Understanding this was a sin from which she could not recover, Makaria took what clothes and money she could and left the house, never to return. Relieved to find that she no longer had to hide herself, Makaria found the sexiest clothes she could and became a street performer in Amn, entertaining the wealthy merchants with dancing flames and frozen trinkets made from little more than air and will. Once in a while, she thought she saw her parents in the crowd, her mother with her head down in sorrowful submission, and her father's gaze still aflame with the housefire that claimed his books. When it became too much for her to bear, Makaria exiled herself to the Moonshire Isles in hopes of finding a master to teach her.
When she met her teacher in the Moonshire Isles, he was involved in the gurellia war with the Dark Fey. Outnumbered and overpowered, the fey forces tormented the Isles and sought to claim them as their own. Makaria spent years silencing the horrible, awful, obnoxious, annoying, shrieking, chilling, terrible, whydidtheyevenputtheminthisgame redcaps who wanted to watch her bleed.
Despite fighting the good fight, her master was once overwhelmed. While Makaria was slaughtering the redcaps, her master was fighting a which and totemist, when a warrior came from behind and smashed his skull while Makaria watched. She froze in astonishment while the one person who supported her had shards of his cranium and the gray, squishy matter of his brains spread around the battlefield. With her sadness and anger, Makaria ignited fire so hot that the only smell remaining was that of smoldering piles of Fey Flesh.
When she heard that Valindra and Malabog attacked Neverwinter, she came first for vengance, but grew to want to protect the populace. She has decided the only place she should be is standing, victorious, atop a pile of smoldering corpses.

Cat - Esmeralda - A quiet, calm, and intense cat, Esmeralda normally stays close to Makaria and takes in her view of the world. While she is even tempered, she is extremely fierce if provoked.

Riswynn Mineshadow - Dwarf - IV/Conq/GF
Riswynn's parents were immigrants to Baldur's gate, arriving with scant supplies and the young Riswynn in her mother's belly. Fortunate enough to find jobs at the Helm and Cloak, her father was the chef and her mother was the head waitress. Riswynn was a beautiful, compliant girl when she was young, and joined her mother in serving the patrons once she was old enough.
However, as she grew older and more beautiful, she spent more and more time listening to the stories of the fighting men and spent many hours chatting with them over kegs of beer. She made some friends and occasionally got instructions on how to handle a sword and shield, which she practiced in her off days.
Riswynn grew up as strong as she was beautiful and could wear armor heavy enough for grown men twice her size, but she did not forget that she was a young woman, and during the time she was not training she would spend her time buying the loveliest dresses she could afford, occasionally going to hairdressers, and collecting makeup and jewlery.
Realizing that she was strong enough to fight and she couldn't afford the beautiful things she desired, Riswynn joined the fight in Neverwinter to seek riches and recognition, but not by cleverness, but by smashing face with her shield and sword.

Zinnarath Bladescarr - Half Orc - SM/Instigator/GWF
Born in the mountains of Amn, Zinnarath quickly realized she was a child of two worlds. Her human mother was a peasant girl in a small village, but her father was apparently one of the man orc raiders who swooped down from the high hills and raided and <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> their way through the town from time to time. Growing up so much bigger and stronger than the rest of the children Zinnarath realized she could not withstand living with the small minded humans of the town.
Despite being only 12, She was already as tall as most adult men, and the young Zinnarath said a tearful goodbye to her mother and walked down from the hills into the huge city of Amn. She went door to door to all the mercenary companies in town, showing up on the doorstep and saying "I want to fight." The usual response was to shove her in the mud, laugh, and slam the door in her face.
At the last company, as the doorman was about to push her away, she grabbed his wrist with a crushing strength far beyond her years, and for the only time in her life, she begged. "Please."
It worked and she walked in to a room full of men, who despite being mostly humans, would surely **** and pillage her mother, just like her father did. She got a bath, a bed, and some basic clothes her first night, and woke up early the next morning for a basic breakfast. She followed the men into the practice yard and picked up the largest sword she could possibly life and asked to join them. When she was, once again, laughed at, she ran in and swung the giant blade at those who laughed the loudest and yelled "Train me!" with all her lungs.
Once the fights started, the fire of Tempus grew within her and Zinnarath became consumed with an unquencable battlelust, When the company was on larger jobs, she was always the first into the thickest opponents and swung her blade through as many of them as she could.
When she heard of the fighting in Neverwinter, Zinnarath could not resist, left the mercenaries, and came north to find more blood.

Keyleth Moonshadow - Moon Elf - AC/Virt/DC
Keyleth grew up to a quiet, pious family in the Grey Vale. Childhood was happy and simple. Her parents would pray to Selene every Moonrise, help the other people in the community, and spread their strong faith to those in the area.
Keyleth grew up quiet, kind, and pious, but she developed an air of nobility. She began to see the evils in others and looked down towards them, understanding that she was far too good, kind, and merciful to ever act in such a way. Hence, because of the hidden disdain of her peers, Keyleth was outwardly kind but inwardly curel, and hence became a bit of a loner. Once, when her parents confronted her, she explained how the people were filled with sin and had forgotten their gods, and treated each other little better than animals.
When her mother kindly reminded her that this kind of condescension was also sinful, Keyleth was shocked at her own ignorance and remained silent for a week. When she began to speak again, her words were even softer and kinder, but yet, very sad.
Things went on as normal for many years, until she heard of the fighting far away in the north. The whispers of the horrors broke her heart, and she explained to her family that she must go to Neverwinter to help those less fortunate. Her family understood and supported her, bought her a horse and supplies, and sent her on her way.
When she arrived as a medic, she would often try to mend sundered limbs and wounder caused by foul magics. Many times she could not stop crying for the pain in the world, and spent her time studying scripture and training at temples until her supportive abilities because sufficient to join the actual battle.
Now she fights Valindra for peace, to bring an end to fighting and suffering, hoping to kill the monster at its source.

Cat - Luna - a quiet and loving kitty, Luna likes to sit on Keyleth's shoulders, cuddle and purr. She is playful and friendly with strangers and is never hostile.

Adrie Darksbane - Wood Elf - PF/Archer/HR
Adrie was the younger of two sisters in Quaervaar, growing up under the protection of her aggressive sister. To balance things, Adrie became quiet, studious, and obedient, never getting into trouble and always being well behaved. However, as a teenager, she lost interest in her studies and spent most of her free time with a bow in the woods. She learned to hunt and silently kill prey from afar.
Once Lia learned that Adrie was spending so much time in the woods, Lia insisted that Adrie learn some blades, in case anything got too close. They spent many hours training together, though Lia refused to pick up a bow. When Adrie asked why Lia said "there's no need, i will just sneak up behind them, and slit their throat."
When she was a young adult, Adrie was consumed with wanderlust and spent several years wandering the wilderness in Ferun, learning the wilds and hunting every sort of game possible. As a good child, she visited her parents as often as she could. One time, her parents showed her a letter from her sister, informing all of them of the happening in Neverwinter.
Overwhelmed with love and duty, Adrie had little choice but to join her sister in Neverwinter and hope to rebuild the city.

Kava Starfall - Dragonborn - SW/Temp -
Kava was born under a meteor shower in the Dragonborn kingdom of Tymanther. Her parents were nobles and politically active, involved with all the activities of the city. Things were fine until she was five, when her parents were involved in some sort of scandal - real or imagined, that lead to their exile to the Netheril.
Traveling from enclave to enclave, their former life of luxury changed into a life of poverty. Many times they would go hungry and beg for food, clothes, work, and whatever else they could find.
When Kava was a teen, she became more and more determined to change her circumstances. Lacking in fighting talent and normal magical ability, she spent what time she could in the temples and libraries in the area, until she found the bargain with the devils in foul texts.
Feeling there was no other option, she eventually opened communication with Belial, and she regrettably made a pact to give him suffering of living beings in return for powers. In a moment of misguided selfish altruism, Kava thought this power could bring more resources to her parents and improve their lives.
Kava soon started bringing them food, but never revealing to them her true goal. One day, Kava summoned them to the outskirts of wherevertheywere and gave them a small house, and left a pile of silver on the table for them to start.
Astonished by her generosity her parents were first overjoyed with gratitude, but soon asked how she had made the money for the house. When Kava revealed to them her bargain, Her fathers face changed from gratitude to disdain. Speaking to her of Dragonborn honor, he explained that she had brought incredible shame to their family. He said, with tears, that his only regret is that they could not refuse the house. He picked Kava up, and threw her, and her things, out the door. She banged and begged and pleaded to be let back in, saying that this was the cost of love, but they remained silent. Little did she know, her father sat with his back to the door, crying a river of silent tears.
Kava wandered west after that, seeking to get as far away from her eastern homelands as she could until she reached Neverwinter. While she could not dishonor her bargain with her master, she heard of the cult of the dragon and the evils they were propagating. Thinking that their suffering was less bad than the suffering of the good, she now seeks to inflict maximum pain upon all those who choose to bring suffering without her obligation.
