This thread will house the character profiles of (important) NPCs that the crew and myself will play as from time to time. More mundane NPCs like the barkeep and etc will be up to you to RP as if your character is interacting with them (unless of course if the barkeep is a PC or one of the characters listed below). Note to crew:If you are RPing as an NPC in the threads, make sure you post a message in this thread saying where you got em (don't need like three copies of our vampire drow cruising about). Also for NPC posts, copy and paste the image code for their tektek avi at the top of it so people know the post is from an NPC and which one they are.

NPC Family/Characters:  Name: Izzdrin De'urden Izzdrin means hidden rogue/stealer, De'urden meaning Champions of the darkness. Age: 143 Race: Drow Gender: Male Significant Other: Neerdra (fallen Elf Druid) Role: Father Training: Assassin/rogue; Dark Elf military Personality: Cold and calculating, never does anything in a rush. Always has a plan. Biography: Izzdrin joined the Drow military at a young age, following in the footsteps of his father, unlike his older brother Baleth whom had planted his head in his books after their mother had died in a mysterious accident. Baleth would often disappear for days at a time and only surface to get some food. Izzdrin, on the other hand, focused on being an active member of society, partly to take people’s focus off his mother's death and partly to impress his father. They said his father had married something strange and that his sons would be equally as corrupt, so Izzdrin worked hard to prove everyone wrong. Izzdrin grew up to be a fine member of the drow military and was often tasked with missions and quests nobody else would touch. One of these missions took him deep into enemy territory, a blessed elvish glade, where he happened to meet Needra, the woman who would later become the love of his life. Unfortunately on the final day of the mission, the day they were to sneak into the glade and silence a promonet elf noble, one Baleth’s experimental spells backfired and killed almost everybody in their party. With their cover blown and the mission failed, Izzdrin had no choice but to flee elsewhere and finding a secluded place to live out the rest of his days. Appearance: A). Hair/Eyes: White/Red B). Body Type: Warrior's build, but wiry and graceful despite his size. C). Clothing: Tends to wear black D). Extra (tattoos, scars, piercings, etc.): Variety of scars criss-cross his chest and back hinting at his rough upbringing among the drow military and its society.  Extra:

Currently expecting their third child and is 14 months pregnant (out of 24). Numbers figured out via the D&D book; Book of Erotic Fantasy )pg 24 and 49)Personality: Patient, usually calm and gentle, motherly, and hardworking. Has a wry sense of humour but a hidden temper that can flare up without warning, so be warned! When you make Needra mad you better be ready. Biography: Learned the ways of forest from a young age. Was master of druidic arts for handful of years before her fall. As the favor of the forest left her in favor of another, she turned on it in a fit of rage, using her knowledge of nature to corrupt it and help Izzdrin on his mission to invade and kill an elvish noble. Appearance: A). Hair/Eyes: Black/Green B). Body Type: Very Pregnant C). Clothing: Confined to loose fitting robes due to her (huge) pregnancy. Also due to her training as a druid, Neerdra dislikes metal and tries to avoid wearing anything using or made of it. D). Extra sad Such at tattoos, scars, piercings, etc.) Due to her lack of exposure to sunlight, Neerda's skin color has lost a great deal of its normal fleshy pink color and most resembles the skin of her undead son.  Extra: Animal companion is a large fruit bat named Nightwing, who tends to hang from his perch near to the top of Neerdra's staff.  Bat:Name(s): Nightwing Biography: Neerdra's previous animal companion (a ???) from her days as a true druid seemed unfitting to her new outlook on life so after releasing her previous companion back into the wild, Neerdra meditated on what would fit her best. Eventually she decided upon a bat, a bat she later named Nightwing.

 Name: Baleth Teken'rret Baleth means fire obsessed and Teken'rret translates as Delvers in the void.Age: 168 Race: Drow Gender: Male Significant Other: N/A Role: Uncle, Izzdrin's older brother. Training: Sorcerer specializing in fire magic but recently began dabbling in Necromancy with the aid of some magic trinkets he'd mysteriously acquired. Personality: Crazy and a bit unhinged at times but fairly happy go lucky otherwise. Biography: Forced to flee town after a spell of his caused a terrible accident leaving hundreds dead, Baleth was taken in by his younger brother Izzdrin, whom lived on the surface with his elvish wife and two, soon to be three, children. (Also see Yorick's bio for more info.)While his brother was away on a mission, Baleth got the bright idea of experimenting on his pregnant wife while she slept. This of course did not go well for himself or Neerdra. Baleth's spells caused the baby to grow and mutant in the womb (although the results will not be discovered until the baby is born). Eleven months later upon seeing his mutated newborn, Izzdrin knows who is to blame and after a brief scuffle subdues Baleth. Although Neerdra demands blood for what hes done to their child, Izzdrin refuses to kill his brother and instead cuts off his left hand. Being a spellcaster, this punishment sets Baleth back a great deal until he is able to craft himself another made of hand, this one made of jade. However upon discovering Baleth's loophole around his punishment, Neerdra uses her magic to curse Baleth's new hand causing it to randomly act of its on accord. Appearance: A). Hair/Eyes: White/Red B). Body Type: C). Clothing: D). Extra: Is missing his entire right ear (and later his left hand, but that is replaced by a fake one made of jade).  Extra: Has giant spider(s) for pets.  Spiders:Name(s): Eye, Ear, and Arm Biography: Each spider's name relates to something about it. For example, the spider named Eye is blind in two of its eight eyes. Arm, on the other hand (lawls that was a bad pun), is missing his second leg on the left side. And Ear... well it has Baleth's missing right ear grafted onto its head. Nobody is sure how, but the ear attached to Ear still works like normal ear. However rather than the spider hearing it, Baleth does.

 Name: Altondril (pronuced Alt-on-dril) (probably Alt for short) De'urden Altondril means powerful warrior, De'urden meaning Champions of the darkness.Age: 45 (acts 16-18 by human years) Race: Elf/Drow before turned vampire. Gender: Male Significant Other: N/A Role: Eldest Son of Izzdrin and Neerdra Personality: Polar opposite of his father, Altondril is hot-headed and quick to anger. Enjoys rushing headlong into dangerous situations without care. Natural-born swordsman. Biography: With his sister, Nadzt, being a werewolf, shes turns on nights of a full moon regardless of her state of mind, becoming a more feral and less rational type werewolf. Their parents (Izzdrin and Neerdra) don't want her in the house during such a transformation so he has been tasked with taking her out and keeping an eye on her during full moon. Being nocturnal already its not a big deal and Nadzt won't bite him because feral or not she can sense what he really is (heightened senses as a werewolf and all that). In exchange for doing this his mother, Neerda, rewards him by releasing him from his fake blood (a liquid brewed by Baleth) diet and giving him permission to hunt for fresh blood for the following night. Being a druid (and his mother), Neerdra holds a great deal of sway over Alt because she helps Baleth make the fake blood and it wouldn't be hard for a powerful druid to destory an undead. Appearance: A). Hair/Eyes: White/Blue B). Body Type: Well muscled and build for battle. C). Clothing: D). Extra: Two fang holes mar the flesh on the right side of his neck, revealing where he was bitten the night he was turned by a (female) vampire. Due to his new vampiric nature, Altondril's skin tone is a shade paler than a his sister and two shades paler than normal Drow.  Extra: Methods of turning;*Nectar of Death; Alt can produce a sweet nectar from a hidden gland, behind/in his fangs and kiss someone to pass it into their mouth where it absorbs instantly if it’s not swallowed. This poison can be coaxed from its glands and stored in vials to later coat weapons. If a person were injured by such a weapon (arrow, knife, throwing star, spear, sword, whatever), they begin to turn. This turning process takes about two to three days. *Black Bond; (Similar to the 'black kiss' from the Warhammer novels) If a person were to drink the blood of the vampire (willing or unwilling) the person would be turned into a vampire within two hours. Given how fast this process happens, the vampires produced by it tend to be VERY violent to start. This process creates a blood tie of sorts in between the two. In the Warhammer books this creates weird 'family' trees as you have older vampires calling their minions 'Sons-in-darkness' or 'daughters-in-darkness'.

 Name: Nadzt De'urden Nadzt means cunning hunter, De'urden meaning Champions of the darkness.Age: 13 (acts 6-8 by human years) Race: Elf/Drow with curse of lycanthropy. Gender: Female Significant Other: N/A Role: Daughter of Izzdrin and Neerdra Personality: Smart and cunning, Nadzt has a brain for tactics and strategy far beyond someone of her young age despite her natural curiosity. Biography: After the incident in which she contracted the lycanthropy curse, Nadzt's father Izzdrin went out, hunted down, and killed (much to his wife's protests) the wolf creature that had bitten his little girl. As the days went by, a small group of wolf puppies turned up in their backyard. With some help from Neerdra, it was determined that they were the pups of the wolf that had bit Nadzt. At only a couple months old, Neerdra felt responsible for the death of their mother and took them in. They quickly became family pets but nobody connected with them quite like Nadzt, she was their favorite. Appearance: A). Hair/Eyes: White/Blue while in normal form, black and white fur while in werewolf form.   Extra: Shares bond with a small pack of (5) wolf pups, all of which only a couple months old. Due to this bond, she is expected to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a druid once she is old enough. Nobody expects Nadzt's bond with the wolf pups to go beyond that of a girl and her pets, however Nadzt has other ideas (and later becomes a Beast Master; sub-type of druid).  Wolves: (Three males, two females)Name(s): Fang (M), Ruff (M), Ghost (M), Moon (F), Starlight (F)Biography: These wolves' mother was the wolf that bit Nadzt and gave her the werewolf curse, in a way making her and them family. The rest of the family sees them as just pets but Nadzt sees them as brothers and sisters. Due to how slow elves/drow age, Nadzt is expected see a great many of generations of wolf born by these pups.

 Name: Yorick Mournwielder Age: Unknown Race: Undead/Dullahan Gender: Male Significant Other: N/A Role: Butler Personality: Mysterious, patient, and sinister. Cold and distant. Yorick is bound by the most rules of his kind but you never can tell what he's thinking or what he's about to do. Biography: The Dullahan, Yorick, was drawn to the settlement/scene to round up the souls of the dead after Baleth had his 'accident' and killed lots of other drow. In a panic (and probably fueled by some latent magic still in the air) Baleth surprised and captured the dullahan, forcing it to act as his bodyguard while he returned to the city in secret, collected his belongings, and fled. Still under the effects of Baleth's spell the dullahan had no choice but to follow and do his bidding. Over the years the spell has weakened up but it maintains its primary function of keeping the dullahan bound to his will. The dullahan swore everlasting pain upon Baleth's soul when his time came and the threat was enough to force Baleth back into his necromantic arts to discover key to eternal life. Appearance: A). Hair/Eyes: Both MIA  Extra:

Personality: N/A Biography: While Izzdrin was away on a mission, Uncle Baleth was free to experiment on Neerdra with his magic while she slept, which he did.

Appearance: Lower body will be resemble that of a Minotaur, with hoofs, a tail, and black fur. In addition to those features, he will be born with nubs atop his head that will later become horns. His upper torso will otherwise remain like that of an elf/drow. The picture below represents the size of Neerdra's belly after Baleth's experiments. Already huge by elvish and drow standards, Izzdrin plans on keeping a careful eye on his expectant wife as she still had another ten months to carry this child. He has no qualms about kidnapping a midwife from town to ensure his wife's safety.  Extra:
