So Neverwinter Nights is basically a D&D game for the computer, and inspired by Neuf's brilliant depiction of guild members as Warhammer Armies, I decided to do the same.

But.... I ran into some trouble on the first person. So here goes: xp

Neuf... What to do with you? At first thought, I was torn. You seemed to me to fit into a ranger class with your empathy for Wiccans, warhammer army, and love for camping and nature. But that would also be ignoring what I picture as a great skill for knives and ground fighting. So... I made you a Halfing Ranger to make it fun. (Sorry- best picture I could find)

I'll just follow Neuf's order to make it easy.

In Media Res- there was never a doubt for me. You were a spellcaster. Strategy and studying was more suitable than fighting in my mind. But then I was torn between a few types, and in the end decided on wizard. It requires more than just skill, but intense study and dedication. I also pictured them more as teachers than the battle ready sorcerers. Elven sorcerer for you- elves are my favorite, and based on your classical background, I pictured elves as the most ancient of all things.

King... I've known you on the guild for quite a while, but I was still a bit unsure what to do for you. Definitely a warrior in my mind, but what kind? At first I thought Druid because of your experience in the midst of the Deep South, but then I decided that a more deadly/open fighter was better suited in my mind. (No sneaking around and turning into trees) I decided to go with a general fighting class, but with a minor specialization in both druid arts (due to me thinking of squirrels) and a bit of rogue to be unconventional. I don't really know why, but I also thought of halfling, though I decided to go with human due to versatility.

Unfortunately, could not the picture in my mind of what I pictured you as, so pretend I did. blaugh

Divash This one I didn't think of at first, but when I did, it stuck. First I thought of Paladin due to a just warrior, but then I thought some more and thought it was a little too bloody. You were in my mind, much more of a healer. So, I picked a cleric. Clerics are basically intermediaries between divine power and the earthy world- all clerics have immense power over divine things, but you were clearly a lawful alignment. (Based on your actions, your character changes alignment to lawful or chaos) Clerics are amazing healers and are there to help others, which you do quite a bit. I also decided to give you a minor bard specialization since I imagined you as a great diplomat from their charisma.

Especially with your interest in Psychology, I decided to go with a more charismatic class for you that requires a greater understanding of people, so I decided to go with a mix of bard and sorcerer. Bards are very difficult to classify as they are part scholar, part thief, part spy, part spell caster and part warrior, but can have a few specializations. Sorcerer is like a wizard, but more power and blowing stuff up.I went with half-elf since it mixes human versatility with elven wisdom and magical ability.

Again, I had some difficulty. I first decided on half-elf before anything because of your dual heritage- I thought it was cool since I liked both elves and humans. But I was torn on the class. I know you like politics, which would require a great amount of charisma. But I pictured you a little bit more as a warrior type, so I went with sorcerer, though I was considering monk for a little bit. Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories—just raw power that they direct at will. They have a smaller range of spells than wizards, but still have a high emphasis on charisma and magical power. But, I also decided to add a tad of monk or fighter since I'd imagine you as more of a fighter than a spellcaster and the mix makes things interesting.

I was unsure of a few, so I decided to make an undecided list at the bottom:

Undecided
Dis Domnu

Other than that, couldn't decide for anybody else, so please feel free to give me a hint of what you think or if you don't like what I chose- this is obviously not meant to offend and I probably pegged at least somebody completely wrong.

You wouldn't happen to have Dwarven rangers would you =D

However halfings are known to me for being able to do one thing above all else.

Halflings can cook like a mo-fugger.

xd I did toy with the idea of a dwarven ranger, but I decided to go with halfling since my buddy was an awesome halfling named Tomi and I like them better than the possibly offensive dwarf. Plus, I just don't see you as a really large, fattish person. (Though no offense meant if you are large)

Heh- guess that's the downside of online avis. And imaging people with purple hair. That and I don't see you in your 30s, either.

Hee! This is not only flattering, but accurate in a way I doubt you expected. A bard, traditionally in Earth's history, is a troubador, a traveller who trades in media: news set to verse or music, jokes, poetry, diplomacy (and occasionally intrigue). People depended on bards to connect them with the outside world, but also to entertain them by performing and by teaching them to sing and play musical instruments.

You couldn't know this, but actually, I am a professional singer. Or, I was, before deciding to be observant as a Jew and therefore to not perform for audiences that include men.

I'm delighted by this characterization. Thank you!

Yes, but only for women and for non-Jewish men since they're not forbidden to hear a woman singing. Yes, the Talmud leaves a loophole, and it's brilliant! What's forbidden is for a man to hear and see a woman singing. What's not forbidden is for a woman to sing for a man; for a man to see a woman singing but not hear her voice; or for a man to hear a recorded voice but not see her. So a Jewish man can listen to a CD, or watch a video with the sound off, but not see and hear at the same time. And a woman can sing for any audience, because the onus of the mitzvah isn't on her, but on the Jewish men in the audience. My community rules rather strictly in this, so I choose not to perform where men could hear me and see me at the same time, but other communities of Orthodox Ashkenazim and of Sephardim (observant, yes) rule that a woman can sing anywhere, and it's up to a man to avoid being in the audience.

Because of this, I still do recordings on occasion. My most recent was a demo CD for a play. A composer will get a few voices together to sing the music from his play as a recording, which he will then send around for various producers to hear the music and decide to produce the play (put money into it). If you ever see a play called "From The Heart, And Other Body Parts," you'll know I had a part in getting that play produced. I sang the one that ends with a whispered command to, "Suffer!" for the demo CD.

Oh man I love Neverwinter Nights! I have every one. My ultimate favourite is Hordes Of The Underdark! I usually play as an elf I coloured like a Drow, and I'm usually a ranger, but with some sorcery involved so I can be an Arcane Ranger.

I never liked Tomi, but little Deekin is just so great! He reminds me of me, as he brings a comic touch to even the darkest times!

I imagine you to be a human spellcaster/bard, with some fighter mixed in. I think it's mainly because I picture you as a quiet, reserved, knowledgable young lady, learning her favourite poems off by heart in her spare time, but definintely someone who can kick butt if stuck in a tight spot, or in a cave surrounded by Drow.

I'm such a pathetic computer gamer its scary!

I can see why I'm likened to a halfling then.
