Backstory, pets, mount, transmutes, also guildmates that know she is a bada##.
My CW is extremely ugly. I have yet to see an uglier character. My DC still wears the caturday cloak and my CW has a cloak tramsute that doesn't exist anymore either.

My GWF is special by not being able to do anything of what the Melee fighters do in the other games. But compared to the other GWFs in NWO, my GWF is not special.
It's a cleric, expectations have been extreamly low so it survived for soo long ... the other 2 'alts' i had alongside it got deleted long ago and then again and again, can't bring myself to del this one becose of all the time (and ... zen) , achievements and hard gained gear i got on it....
Not to mention is elf female with wings and skirt, has a funny walk and green eyes !
I'm using the back story I wrote for them as the basis of my foundry campaign.
Nearly all my in-game time is either spent killing things to get over writer's block or working on my foundry stuff. Been trying to get my character up to snuff for this new mod so I can play other people's foundries again though.
My GWF is basically the present day version of the character, after he saw the true evil of the world and went a little bit nuts , while my OP is the same character when he was younger and still part of the order. All my characters histories are linked somehow, Though I still have too rewrite my Clerics.
"This is my character. There are many like it, but this one is mine".
This is my character. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My character is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My character, without me, is useless. Without my character, I am useless. I must play my character true. I must cast spells faster than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must disintegrate him before he disintegrates me
My character and I know that what counts in NeverWinter is not the grinds we grind, the feeling of our frustration, nor the killing sprees we make. We know that it is the fun that counts. And we have fun
My character is a living being, just as I am, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its powers and feats. I will keep my character clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before Chauntea, I swear this creed. My character and I are the defenders of NeverWinter. We are the masters of our enemies. We are the saviors of my life
So be it, until victory is Neverwinter's and there is no enemy, but peace!

My main has (Whose name is Puppit. Yes, on purpose.) has followed me through three different MMO's. Long, long back story, but can be essentially boiled down to a villain drawing pretty equally from the Joker (minus the literal clowny-ness), Invader Zim, Lex Luthor, The Terminator, and The Predator. Always a survivable DPS type. Shock and awe is her bread and butter. She's a dirty as hell tactician who never let a thing like being killed in a horrific manner get in her way. Chaotic evil to the bone.
Almost all of my other characters are good-aligned, but it just feels so good to be bad, ya know?
I have six different characters, each with their own personality and how they play. A few.. Erm.. 'quirks' of them are as follows.
GF - Likes to get in peoples way, sometimes dances mid battle, dislikes his chin; has an unhealthy obsession with OBP shields.
GWF - Would rather Run than ride his mount, wishes helmets fit better on his horns; sometimes chases females, because he is thirsty.
CW - Likes to freeze his enemies, likes to lick his frozen enemies; sometimes smacks himself in the head with his Orb.
DC - Wishes his cloths were blue, wishes his last name wasn't 'Glimmer'; often forgets to heal SW because they are 'gritty'.
SW - Likes his soul puppet when he is lonely, hates his soul puppet when eating; wishes he could see... and that Jenny wasn't dangerous with her shield. Snarky.
OBP - Wants an axe, really really wants an axe, dislikes TRs.. because they keep moving to much; Once dropped his shield on his foot, believes they are out to get him.

Biographical Place of Residence: A large building a couple miles from Neverwinter known as "The Temple of the Planes". Place of Birth: Neverwinter
Relatives: Neilxva Vilthear (Grandmother, deceased), Lealiena Vilthear (Cousin, although neither know about eachother), Sealni Vilthear (Twin Sister, recently cured of insanity by Alyssa Falconhand.), Clarissa Wyntersong (Adoptive mother) Enemies: The Arcane Council (Deceased), Nightmare Lord Kahralen (Deceased), The Cult of Kahralen (Inactive), The Shadow Legion, a golem known as Peacebringer. Allies: The Keepers of the Radiant Flame, a bunch of golems, some summoned fire elementals, Nalfar Veldahar, and a young druid named Duclaena.
Occupation: Adventuring Tradeskill: Golem Making
Appearance: An adorable little girl
Fashion of Choice: A pink fairy costume with a pink dress and a flower headband. Armor of Choice: Elementium Armor forged by Kaddock Grayhammer Weapons of Choice : A crystal she uses to focus her spells through, an Elementium Blade given to her by Kaddock Grayhammer, a staff also made by Kaddock Grayhammer. Special Abilities: While near the Arcane Spire, her source of power, she becomes far more powerful, including gaining a power called "Arcane Dragon".
History/Biography: At the age of eight, Vlathis's village was attacked and destroyed by goblins. She was the only one who was still alive when an adventurer came in soon after to eliminate the goblins. She soon stumbled upon a wizard known as Traevou who took her as an apprentice.
Traevou was later killed during a mission that took him into the Demonweb itself. A wizard named Zyraen offered to finish her training, which she accepted. However, she later learned that Zyraen had lured Traevou into the Demonweb with the intention on killing him.
Vlathis stormed into Zyraen's chambers, and, having the element of surprise, managed to drive him away. Eventually, she discovered that Zyraen was part of a group known as the Arcane Council, which she destroyed with the help of a few adventurers. She then traveled to Icewind Dale with a group known as the Mythweavers and met a little girl named Satella Voshk and a Selunite cleric Thaivalin. Vlathis stopped Satella's family which was driven insane by an artifact known as the Crystal Fang. Satella was adopted by Thaivalin who also managed to safely seal away the Crystal Fang.
Later, she encountered a cult of beholders formerly lead by Arcane Council member Rathnar but had been taken over by Elder Visionary Naulhiel Vrai'Xail. While trying to stop them, she eventually met a Eve Elemmire and Clarissa Wyntersong. She also learned that the Crystal Fang and four other artifacts the Cult of the Eye Tyrant was searching for were created by an ancient mage of near demigod power known as Nightmare Lord Kahralen.
Vlathis rested for the most part after the defeat of Naulhiel and his cult, along with the beholder ghost possessing Naulhiel, Schalifax. A few months later though, Vlathis was captured and interrogated by a cult of the demon lord Orcus lead by Wight Deathpriest Irvross Jrail'Xikkar. Clarissa managed to pull Vlathis out, and the two begin making plans along with the help of a halfling assassin Phaun Varkthos and a Calimshan noblewoman and fire wielder Rakshava Asani. Eventually, they also learned that one of the cultists was Vlathis's elven year old cousin Lealiena Vilthear. Upon learning of her relation to Vlathis, Lealiena left the cult and joined Vlathis in her attempt to stop them. Eventually, Irvross gathered an army of orcs, only to be slain by Clarissa, Phaun, Rakshava, and a dwarven woman named Bethwyn Skildheart. Clarissa then tore Irvross's soul apart. Irvross had managed to pull the souls of the Arcane Council back into Toril, except for Zyraen who's soul was trapped in a ring which was held in a warded chest. Clarissa tracked down Rathnar and tore his soul apart as well. Then, she found the last two, Athron'Zal and Vijjial, possing the bodies of Kaisele Nilsilus and Karnarath Leiphone. Clarissa intended to destroy them both as well, but learned of a way to turn them to good instead. Athron'Zal was cured, however Vijjial managed to escape. Vlathis then created an artificial human like body for Athron'Zal, who begin calling herself Kaitlyn Brightflame.
Kaitlyn refounded a group known as the Keepers of the Radiant Flame, which she used to command before being driven insane. Vlathis and most of her friends joined, only to discover that Satella's mother Neiressa had survived and now lead a legion of Shadar-Kai and other shadow creatures. Neiressa's insanity was removed during a battle with Eve, however the rest of her legion, including Vijjial, was pulled into a severed time stream.
But that was only the beginning.
