Profile Introductions Thread: Show yo'self scream !!! xd

The Changes in the guild are pretty much complete. You can now submit your profiles here in accordance with the new 3 point system. Enjoy!

Gerias' 1-3 Point System:

How it works, is that a predetermined judge will look over the applicant's sample RP, as well as their literacy and knowledge in WoTology, to determine a rank in the White Tower.

0: Decline Acceptance
1: Applicant must indefinitely stay a trainee/novice (Probationed Newb)
2: Applicant may progress from trainee/novice only after testing
3: May apply to become Aes Sedai/Warder/Ashaman ect.
4: Applicant may have additional leeway in character then rank 3
5: Mod/Operative (Ex: You get to run da show SON)

To judge the applicant's rank, or if the applicant believes they have been unfairly judged, both may refer to this simple System Check, which would assure both parties of absolute fairness.

System Check:
Errors:
15+=Rank 0
10+=Rank 1
5+=Rank 2
(After that, judge may determine applicant's position based on skill and knowledge.)
(If characters are not fluent in WoTology, then they may not progress past Rank 3/4, based on skill)
(For a person who doesn't know anything about WoT to apply in the first place, they must at least have read the Compendium of WoT thread so that they may RP.)

Now, you may be wondering what the ranks exactly do besides determine your position.

The 1-3 Point system:
Priorities:
1. The One Power
2. Ranking/Lineage
3. Weapon Mastery (i.e. Blademaster)
4. Talents/Rare skills
5. Wolf-Brother/Sister
6. Rare artifacts/possessions (limited and within reason)

Rank bonuses:
0: You don't RP here! Leave!
1: One Priority point
2: Two Priority points
3: Three Priority points
4: Three Priority points w/ character leeway
5: Maximum leniency with Character and 3 Priority points

Alright, so right now you may think this limits your character, right? WRONG! It balances your character, and makes sure the less-literate RPers (newbs) don't get as much power as the rest of us! Perfecto!
(Example: Mercury, we all agree is a balanced character, correct? (We already sent this to her so we can pick on her a little. lol. jk.) Well to put it to the test, we used her in the three point system. First, she is a MOD, which allows you to have 3 Priority points. And what did she use them in? 1/2/4. (She can Channel, is the Keeper of Chronicles, and has the Talent of Dreaming.) She is now professionally assured to be a balanced character! lol.

The Three Point System will also make our RP fit more along the lines of Wheel of Time. We will get rid of all dead races, i.e. no Malkier. Lan was world famous for being the only surviving Malkieri, to have the six or seven Malkieri that we have is thoroughly unrealistic. Characters can easily keep their individuality and not be from a dead race.

We will make an entirely new profile thread to organize characters, get rid of the profiles of people no longer in the guild, and give the opportunity for people with new/redesigned characters to show off their beautiful new selves. To show who has decided to edit their character, we will have all profiles begin with, in LARGE size font, the heading applicable listed below in the specified color.red]

Red - New Character
Orange - ReMade Character
Purple - Slight Changes/New Position
Black - Old Character

Alena and Lathanam could make themselves already or newly married. Or we could have them post in the New Rp Thread (to start from scratch) the first posts. Everyone could come back to the guild with it's all new layout and go to our newly designated Rp Thread and find Alena and Lathanam's wedding described in full and everyone can start rping wherever they want with their new or old character starting then.

If people who are currently rping together both decide to keep their characters, they can just pick up from where they left off (with a short summary or introduction of what is going on) and continue rping together. If a person is rping with a person who decides to remake or edit their character and the other person does not, the individuals could just stop their rp with each other and rp with someone else what they needed. It really doesn't hinder anybody's rp, it unclutters things and gives everyone the opportunity to start fresh. It would also get rid of our less...literate rpers.

Everyone will have to submit a sample rp to Azalea Verde, who will judge them using the 0-5 Scale.

Speaking of jobs, we have thought of each MOD's strength and figured out what they would be helpful doing.

Azalea- Handle RP Samples (Judge)
Mercury- Handles new OOC Thread (MOD it) (Sub for other MODs if they are unable to carry through with their job)
Greyhurst- Organize Threads (Delete all needless threads, i.e. combine Ajah threads into one and get rid of threads that are useless or annoying.)
Pynkchan- New thread for profiles (Handle), new banners if needed.
Dragon Hawk- Regulator (Makes sure rpers follow the rules)
Wolf- Regulator

Avatar: Gerias Alcor
Name: Lashier tin Vasquez "Ironhand"
Race: Atha'an Mierre/Tairen
Nickname: Criminally known as "Vasquez the Ironhand", and simply called "Lash" or "Vasquez" by friends.
Age: 37
Priorities: 3/4/6
Weapon(s): Lashier's entire right forearm is engulfed within a massive metallic gauntlet, a rare treasure from a forgotten age which lends his clad arm incredible strength.
Appearance: About 5'10", slight of build, copper skin, shoulder-length raven hair, soft chestnut eyes, a well-fit black tunic with no visible gilding or decoration, extremely baggy black silk trousers, and tarnished leather boots. He also has a large wool scarf thrown around his shoulders loosely, which drops to the back of his knees fashionably. Clean cut and handsome in appearance, he would appear completely professional, despite the large silvery clawed gauntlet which adorns his entire right forearm. A roguish grin usually compliments his features, radiating a nonchalant aura to everyone around him.
History: Vasquez is a famous criminal, known for his legendary escape from the Stone of Tear. Convicted of various forms of piracy, alleged murder, pillaging, grand theft, high treason, and misconduct in the presence of royalty, he has enjoyed his reign of chaos for many years on the open sea. Despite his fiendish reputation, his loyal friends and fellow pirates know him as a carefree and honest man, who prefers to shame rather then kill. Over the years, Vasquez slowly gathered a sizable fortune, which he horded aboard his famed vessel, the Sea King. He was respected and revered by his loyal crew, and soon became married to a beautiful woman, who became pregnant. Vasquez, though wanted on land and sea, had an extreme disadvantage on dry land, where he and his crew had no training or experience. Despite this, his love wanted very much to know the gender of their child before its birth, and so he consented to consult a Wise Woman at the nearest port, which just so happened to be Ebou Dar. With the utmost caution, his wife, his most loyal friend, and himself, all traveled into the city's heart, doing their best to disguise themselves, as well as Vasquez's cruel gauntlet of fame. They made their way into the Rahad, a slum which housed many private organizations, as well as many of Vasquez's criminal connections. His wife reported that within the Rahad lived a Wise Woman she knew well and trusted, whom he could trust as well. Upon their arrival, the elderly woman was surprised to see her, and Vasquez recognized a strange glint in the woman's eye. Though she regularly paused to examine Vasquez, she performed the ritual on his wife, and told them that the woman would bear a son.
Vasquez, very much excited by the news, chose to ignore the old crone's strange looks, and instead took to celebration with his close mate in a local tavern that night. That was the night that the outlaw's life went downhill.

The Sea King, the prize of Vasquez the Ironhand, was discovered in the docks of Ebou Dar, bearing all the fruits of generations of piracy. The crew was trialed and hung, as was Vasquez's lady, known as Elliendre the Witch. Vasquez himself, along with his right hand man, were soon discovered within a local tavern in the city's slum. They were quickly put to trial, but word from Tairen government, along with dozens of other port cities, hailed that the men should be put to trial for crimes committed on their own territory. The quandary lasted for almost a year, until negotiations from the White Tower proposed that the men be publicly trialed on the neutral ground of Tar Valon, and convicted of all crimes committed from every city and nation. Representatives from each government would be present at the trial, so that each could be sure the men were properly sentenced.

As of now, Vasquez and his partner are being held in the White Tower for questioning.

Avatar: Azalea Verde
Character: Azalea Verde
Race: Andoran
Age: Unknown, left to speculation. She is youthful in appearance despite a legendary reputation.
Priorities: 1/2/6
Weapon(s): Azalea is extremely seasoned in the use of Saidar, and though she carries an ornamental blade belted at her waist, she is predominantly famed for her large collection of Ter'Angreal in murky situations.
Description: Tall, slender, and dominating in appearance, despite her almost vixen-like demeanor. Though Sitter of the Blue Ajah and a driven Aes Sedai, Azalea's distant personality and interests reflect often on her legendary repute as a Ter'Angreal hunter. Her facial expressions vividly describe her vague interest in subordinates, and her distinct drive for what lies ahead. Dozens of little trinkets chime together with her every movement, as if alerting her prey like a cat close to a mouse.
History: Born into a wealthy family in Caemlyn, the capital of Andor, Azalea was raised in the ways of etiquette and honor, dignity and pride. She enjoyed taking part in the annual sporting festivals with her father, and watched in awe as the Hunt for the Horn took place in her very own city. Her childhood was the desire of any, and her father enjoyed presenting her with small treasures constantly. One of them was a small necklace attached to a pendant in the shape of an eye. Though she didn't know it at the time, it was a Ter'Angreal, made with the One Power, used to locate other Ter'Angreal. It would change the rest of her life.
When Azalea came to the Tower, escorted by a Blue and her Warder, she already had four of them. It was her life, her hobby, her forte, and her obsession. She gathered three more in her advancement from Novice to Accepted, relieving them from Novices who were too weak to appreciate them in the first place. The strange devices gave her odd and various threads of the One Power that assisted in her reputation as a prodigy of the Tower, the perfect example of what a Sister should be. By the time she became Aes Sedai, her reputation preceded her, and it wasn't long before she was appointed Sitter of the Blue Ajah. An honor, to be sure, but she thirsted to leave the shackles of obligation in search for the devices which fed her passion. Fear that the wrong hands toy with her rightful possessions pick at her every waking moment, and she would soon give anything to be on the hunt once again...

Avatar: ~~MetaLLic WaterZ~~
Name: Liliana Cheyenne
Race: Illianer
Nickname: Lily
Age: 11
Priorities: 1/2/4
Weapon(s): Lily uses a small white staff that bears a light blue stone on top. It was a gift from a lady who she knew when she was very young.
Description: Lily is a rare girl. At the age of 11, she is of average height for her age. Her hair is straight, long, and is of an apple red. Her eyes are a pure sky blue, and just by looking at her, many see the promising beauty when she grows up. She was born with beauty and perfection, but only one thing is missing. She does not have the ability to speak...
History: All Lily can remember are foggy faces. They say that when she was born, her eyes held only the slightest tinge of blue. The Wisdoms of the city had said that she would be blind for life, but miraculously she recovered her vision. Still, she could not speak. They said it was a defect that would never be cured. The women of the city said it was a small price for the beauty she had received.

Nobody knows her story. Even she herself does not know exactly, and it is even harder to tell without a way to speak, without words. The Aes Sedai that had found her playing in the Illian Square with the One Power had taken her away, briefly telling her parents that their angel would be taken away from them forever. Turning without a word, the small girl was taken to the White Tower to receive training to become a successful user of the One Power. Her studies are hard, for she cannot speak. Until anyone finds a solution to this problem, Lily will always be different from others.

Lily knows of her inability to speak, she knows that not many want to be with her for that reason. The people in the White Tower are all older than her, she is but the youngest. Her loneliness can be shown in her blue eyes, but the smile is ever present on her face as she hopes one day to be truly happy.

Rank: 4!

Avatar: Octave_daft
Name: Allad Din'Sharaad
Race: Aiel
Nickname: Allad
Age: 29
Priorities: 1,3,6

Weapon(s): Greatsword (Marked with the Herons of a blademaster), A shortspear inscribed in the old tounge (Traits semi-unknown), Full Pure-White Plate Armor (Suspected as wrought from the Aelfinn) & Deep blue/gold lined Cloak that recedes into armor, And a small blue Gem that is literally implanted into his chest, found at the ruins of Rhuidean, that has increased his strength and mobility greatly whenever the One Power is simply held.

Description: He stands tall, at 6'5, with blood-red lochs of hair that fall to his shoulders. His eyes are a pure crystal Blue, and his skin only lightly tanned, his chest broad and his body defined. His countenance is hard, with a mystery always behind it, like he has seen things no man should ever see...

History: He was born out of betrayed wedlock, his mother cheating on her husband when he was sent to battle with another clan. His father was kept behind, as shame to a Stone Dog for disobeying a wise one. His mother had been a former Maiden of the spear, until her wedding wreath was placed.
When it was found that she was pregnant, her husband killed his father, and she was cast into exile for the fear of her child. She was taken in by a kindly shienaran merchant, near the brink of death and in labor. She died shortly after Allad was born, as he had been named since he was found to be conceived. The merchant raised him back in shienar, without ever telling him the truth of his blood or his parents. He was enlisted in the borderland guard at the age of 16, his unusual strength and pronounced skill in almost anything he tried quickly advanced him. There were times when he was in battle that strange things began happening. The ground would heave and shift beneath the advancing trollocs, Gouts of flame would leap up among the enemy ranks, entire squads of trollocs would simply squeal and writh in pain, dying on the spot. He was soon secretly revered as a gift to have in battle, a good-luck charm of sorts. Many knew of his Aiel blood, simply from his looks and skill, but said nothing in respect to his father, who was well known.
But soon the truth came out, when on patrol close to the spine, his squad came across a group of Aiel, close to the border.
They fought bravely, but were quickly outdone and surrounded. His squad was let go, but he was taken as Gai'Shan, not realising until now what his bloodline was.
He served lieniently, for a time, before hearing of the city of Rhuidean, which sparked his escape. He made his way across the waste, and after long avoiding capture, entered the sacred city. He found there a twisted red door, and entered almost by accident. Many things were taught to him, and many things done and seen unspeakable...he emerged with The Blue Gem and Inscribed spear, as well as a certain knowledge of the Old Toung and the One Power. These things he has never spoke of or about. He left Rhuidean, making his way yet again from the Aiel Waste, and found himself in Tar Valon, where he currently has residence in an inn by the name "The Three Bales"...
((Sorry, you can tell i was getting tired of it near the end and kinda rushed it. But i'm done, blahhhh....))

Avatar: Erin Sovenya
Name: Eiryn Syin
Race: Saldaean
Nickname: Eiryn
Age: 18

Priorities: 3/4/5 (Weapons/Dreamer/Wolf-Sister)

Weapon(s): Powerwrought daggers, of which she has at least 7 on her at all times, though she is also skilled with a blade, bow, quarterstaff, or simply her bare feet.

Description: She is a lithe yet muscular 5'7" with the traditional Saldaean hawk nose and yellow-green slanted eyes. Her long dark hair is woven into many braids, all forming one braid which reaches down to the small of her back. She wears dark green pants tucked into black boots, a white shirt, and a dark green cloak, and a sword ahngs form her right hip. She is ambidextrous.

History: She has 4 brothers: two older (Aron, 26, and Eneko, 20) one younger (Einder, 17), and her twin (Erik, 18 ). Her mother died birthing Einder, and Eiryn and her brothers were all brought up the same, learning fighting and tracking right alongside cooking and mending form their father, Kalen Syin, a minor lord of Saldaea living in Maradon.
When she was 17, her father took Einder, Erik, and herself for Einder's first trip into the Blight. After a rather successful trip, they met a group of Myrddraal, which killed their father. Tortured by guilt, the three children returned home. Aron, now Lord of House Syin, sent Eiryn, Erik, and Einder off to travel the world in hopes they would come to terms with their grief.
They set out in spring, turning away form the Blight for Andor.
It was then that Erik discovered that he could channel, and he set off for the Black Tower to train as an Asha'man. (He is currently a Dedicated, and his teachers say he will soon have earned the Dragon as well.) Eiryn decided to travel to Tar Valon and see if she might have the spark to become Aes Sedai, and Einder travelled with her, insisting that she would need a Warder if she ever became Aes Sedai.
Eiryn could not channel, but she decided to train as a Warder, reasoning that with Warder skills, she could repay their debt to the Dark One ten times over for her father's death. The Tower refused to allow Eiryn to train to become Gaidin, but did allow her to learn form them, so she stayed on in the White Tower. Einder, finally reconciled with his father's death, and his thirst for adventure quenched, returned home.
She began dreaming decidedly odd dreams shortly after entering her training. Her twin Erik, in the Black Tower has also entered Tel'aran'rhiod, but unlike his twin and brother, he knew what it was. He slowly mastered the ways of the World of Dreams, and has begun teaching Eiryn its rules now that he has them mastered. Once she finishes her training, she plans on becoming Erik's Warder.

Avatar: Dragon Hawk
Name: Hawkeye Al'Draco
Race: Andor
Nickname: Hawk
Age: 28
Priorities: 1,3,6 (Saidin/Blademaster/Angreal)
Weapon(s): Dubble Edged Sword (heron marked), an angreal which strengthens his ability to seized more saidin from the source (a man holding a sword)
Description: He is tall for being an andoran and he have skyblue eye colors that tends to turns into ashgray if he is angered. He has a lightbrown skin color. Not pale but not darkbrown either as the skins of the seafolks. He got a well trained body structure. He wears darkcolored suits and armors. His house mark is a red hawk on a flight.

History:
Hawk past is rather blurred. It is so intwined with other events of his life that he have forgotten what is real and what is not. He arrived at the Shining Tower as an Asha'man. A veteran soldier who can fight for himself or for anyone. There's something chilly in his eyes that he is trying to leave behind him. At first he tried to conceal his ability of channeling even for his aes sedai, he wouldnt have used his ability of channeling if not for the fact that it was nescessary. But before he became what he is now, he roamed the country leanding his swordarm at anyone who might need it. His last guard mission is to guard a caravan towards one of the cities near the borderlands. There was something on the air that day, his battle instincts tells him that something is not right, he keeps feeling as if something is watching him. He shrugged it out of him and didnt bother of it no more. That night the caravan that he was guarding was ambushed by a bunch of trollocks and a fade. The other guards fight well taking down the trollocks but they are of no match with the fades swordmanship skills, they got slaughtered one by one. He fought well that night and killed some of the trollocks. But he never thought then, that a fade could moves so fast. He have heard rumors of the eyeless power to the untrained minds. He focus his mind and emptied it from all emotions. A trick that he have learned from a man with yellow eyes. It lets him be calm and in controll of the situation. But as usual a shining fire substance is waving inside his head. He cant seem to take it off from his head, its stays there attracting his attention. He touched it and for the first time of his life he feel the power.

The fade launched its attack at him. The fades speed were great and Hawk was startled. He leaped back and accidentally use the one power at the fade. He didnt know what happened or how he did it. But infront of him stands the burning body of the fade, its arms still moving. He look around him and saw the destruction that was laying on the ground. Bodies everywhere. Trollocks and humans. He fell down to the ground tired. After that night he have been running away from the aes sedais, cause he know well enough what will happened if they catched to him specially the red ones. At that moment, rumors of the dragon reborn's amnesty reach to him. He search for the recruiting place, there he became one of the recruited to become Asha'man. He starts his training with saidin and more with blade techniques. As he was raised into the level of Asha'man, he was given the honour to battle against the seanchan, unfortunately he thought to be one of those who have fallen from the seanchan raid. After that event of his life he once again roamed the land tills he arrived at Tar Valon. There he trained to become one of the famed warriors, namely a warder. It tooks all his descipline to conceal the usage of saidin. Now he stands at the Shining Tower as one of the Gaidin.

Avatar: Gren the Wolf Mage

Name: Gren

Race: Aiel, Wolfkin

Nickname: Ee sometimes..

Age: late teens

Priorities: 1/4/5 (one power with a block, gifted with amazingly quick learning and skill in her hands and body...among other quirks, wolf-sister)

Weapon(s): Anything she wants... doesn't carry any though having been found when she was younger far from home by a Tuatha'an band and taken along as an orphan. She didn't speak much...

Description: Only 5'5" (EXTREAMLY short for aiel) she is muscled and looks a little less strong than she really is. Her skin is lightly tanned from spending her days outside, but usually out of the sun. Long, thick hair the color of gold flows down around her full, if not a little under kept, body when not kept back in a burly buttocks length braid, as it almost always is. Usually adorned in a dark tunic and breeches that are, of course, loose on her for easy movement, she is quite easily mistaken for a boy at a distance, something she rather likes for she is not bothered into having to deal with either gender relationship wise. Her eyes are silver, her race granting mysterious strings of gold that seem to get more prominent with her mood. Her features are defined, fairly wolfish, as says her race, but beautiful in the graces that she has trained herself in. She could have the appearance of a deamon child if she wished, or that of a fair elf, but neither she chooses, she lets herself stay as is. Gren the wolf-kin.

History: She was born to an Aiel familly, soon labled an outcast for her looks, hight, and otherwise. From the time when she could speak, she had been horribly picked on by everyone she knew; often sent away until she was just a shadow in the hall… even to her family. Gren trained hard though, watching and listening silently and getting herself to do exactly like the adults as they worked in their skills. Years passed, she could defend herself amazingly well, but she started hearing the voices... they wouldn't leave her alone and she didn't want to ask about it so she though maybe if she went to another place... one of the places she'd heard of, maybe if she followed one of those colorful caravans she could get out of this place that was so horrible to her and find more people, maybe kind people who would help her. She waited to leave, gathering what she wanted to take. Her age was only about 9 or so, but she knew what she was doing. The night before she had decided she wanted to leave her brother stormed her room, beating his smaller sister, who's dodges only made him more furious, and destroying what she had gathered, her sacredity in herself included... She wept, face burning red at the thoughts of what had just happened, as he left her... bruised horribly and bleeding in many places. Her wails were heard throughout the house and despite the protests of her mother, her father threw her out into the dust... Before they could return for her she gathered herself, only exaggerating her catlike landing so that it looked as if she'd hurt hrself, and ran along the road as hard as she could, she never wanted to be in this place again. Tears stung her now golden eyes and she wiped them away, she would forget this place... and everyone in it. She never wanted to encounter another Aiel again... especially not her brother... she wanted to kill her family...
As soon as she found a small river she immersed herself in it, scrubbing hard away everything on her, feeling as though she never wanted anything human to touch her again. She walked along day and night, eating whatever she could catch, often small boar. But she had a talent for filling herself with water from her fingers in the least, not having to worry about that. She kept walking though, never looking back, and never doubting her decision to leave. A band of Tinkers came her way along days later, finding her stumbling on like a zombie with her persistant bruises and lack of food. They took her in, giving responsibility of her to a kind family that was doomed childless, until they found her. She rested a few days and then went about figuring these people out and living well, if not ever close, with them.
She adapted to life rather easilly, accepting the kindness and knowledge of these people... Years passed... At a foresty town Gren’s feelings of insanity started to overwhelm her. Once again she decided to leave, slipping away at night, with a blessing and a thank you to her parents, this time she was around 14. Following the voices she felt she was hearing, she found wolves at a kill...
Years later we have our Gren now, a woods dweller with genius to so many cultures... a wonder if she'll be found and brought back to the life she once knew.

Old Character

Avatar: Grayhurst
Name: Grayhurst Reilieson
Race: Andoran
Nickname: Gray
Age: 18
Priorities: 1/4/-

Weapon(s): Currently her only effective weapon is her ability to use the One Power. She has learned enough to not stab herself with her own knives to defend herself a bit, and Ash had taught her how to properly shoot an arrow (as long as it's a stationary target, she can hit it just about every time).

Description: Gray dresses in the standard white dress of the novices of the White Tower, though by the end of the day her dress ends up with more colors than the Amrylin's stole; grass stains, dirt smudges, scorch marks, occasionally blood (usually her own), and all sorts of food stains find their way onto her clothing. Her shoulder length auburn hair is either tied up with a ribbon to keep it out of her face, or hanging down (usually in disarray). Her glasses obscure her deep blue-green eyes.

History: Gray hails from the small Andoran town named The Four Hills. It is located on the main road between Whitebridge and The Four Kings. Her father ran a simple trading business, selling all the little things that people need along with buying goods from the far-flung farmers and selling them to the townspeople. He ran it out of their house, or rather, their house was located above the store. He ran the business with the help of his wife and occasionally Gray. One summer when Gray was only eight years old, her mother was struck down by a wasting disease. When she died, both Gray and her father were shattered. They started to drift apart even though her father strove to keep them together. She ended up practically taking over the bookkeeping for the store after a while.

Throughout all of that, though, she did find time for fun. Her best friend while in Four Hills was Ash. They would get themselves into all sorts of trouble, finding different ways to turn their parent's hair prematurely grey. Gleemen would stay at the local in which Ash's family ran, so they always were the first ones to glean a story or two out of the bards. She always felt the most comfortable when out in the open fields just outside the town or in the small forest a little further out. When out in the open with the earth beneath her feet, Gray always felt strangely at home.

One day after a particularly heated argument with her father, she ran outside and all the way to the edge of the forest. It was a nasty fight, and as she sat on the ground yelling and sobbing, she felt something strange happen. It was as if the earth itself was trying to help her. A small cave appeared behind her made not of stone, but of hard-packed dirt. She decided to sleep there that night. On her way back home the next morning, she passed through some wildflower fields, and as she walked by the flowers, their colors seemed brighter, and it was as if they were growing fuller and more numerous as she passed. A few days after that, she was visited by some violent pounding headaches. She finally figured out that she was able to channel the One Power, and the only person she told was Ash.

When she got up the nerve to ask her father to let her leave to go to the White Tower, they had another one of their famous arguments. It all ended up with her storming out in the middle of the night, not a word to anyone about it. She found out later that soon after she left, a small earthquake hit her town and it was centered on her father's store. No one was hurt, but the whole structure had to be rebuilt.

Once she arrived at the Tower, Gray found why life there as a novice was never discussed in the stories; it's long hard work followed by more work, and very little rest in-between. When Ash showed up at the Tower to train to be a warder, she was at first suspicious, thinking he was there to bring her back, but she was soon convinced that he was there to be there. With his help she was able to keep her father from dragging her bodily away from the Tower, and from that encounter, she was able to finally break her block.

Gray has found a large share of trouble to get into at the Tower, from being caught channeling in her room unaided to being caught with Ash in the halls. Somehow, she's managed to escape being kicked out, but that's not to say that some would like her out. She has found an enemy in the novice Maira and she has not earned any sympathy from the Blue sister Mensa Sedai. Other than that, she's just trying to survive as a Novice.

Re-Made

Avatar biggrin .Monica
Name: Kali Trent
Race: Cairhen
Nickname: Kali..
Age: Wouldn'tcha like to know?
Priorities:1/4/6
Weapon(s): A bladed quarter staff and the one power
Description: Kali has a long dark brown braid that is tied tightly and an absent expression on her ageless face. Her eyes are dark, almost black, and they seem to be distant as a constant expression. Not only that but to complete the Brown sister idea there almost always seems to be a smudge of ink decorating the top of her pale and flawless nose. Her skin is a creamy white, and she's not extreamly tall. She's fragile looking, along with being slightly on the thin side besides having curves.
History: She was born the 8th child and wasn't paid attention to. She quickly taught herself what she believed she'd need, and was soon a self living child off the streets. One day a sister had taken notice of the spark in her, and had taken her to the White Tower where she strived for knowledge.

History: Yoka had lived in Caemlyn and also pretended he was a Warder and would hunt trollocs. HE would cause lots of trouble in his town but he had lots of friends. When he was 12 his father had gone out of the city in search for animals to kill for food but he didn't return. Two weeks later a team had gone out to look for him but he was found killed. Yoka knew that it was trollocs so he spent the rest of his life training to become a warder and not that he is one he is looking for a chance to go out and kill every last Trolloc

new character
Avatar: Aasu shugorei
Name: Rin Shugorei
Race: Shienaran
Nickname: Rin
Age: 32
Priorities: 3
Weapon(s): Sword. The sword resembles a large katana.
Description: He is about 5' 10''. His hair has grown out. Rather than a topknot he now has short dark brown hair. His eyes are the same dark color. He is tanned an almost light brown color with some places on his arms and face where small scars interrupt the tan. His sword is attached to his pants by a leather belt. The sword has a simple worn leather sheath and a leather wrapped hilt. The blade is silver as is the pommel. Some would consider him handsome. He wears a tight black shirt. The shirt was made of sturdy silk. His pants are thick cotton made for him to move. They are loose and bag at the bottom slightly. There are four pockets on the pants. Two pockets on the front of the hips and two pockets on the front of each thigh just above the knees. The two above the knee are held closed by a button on a small cloth flap. He has a pair of worn leather boots. The tops folded over but the boots fit him well. The fronts though have a steel plate covering the toe. They were either to make him work harder to move, or to do more damage in a fight, probably both though both. He wears a pair of black gloves as well. They look like gauntlets though the palms are bare of the steel plate. This allows his blade work to be a bit better.
History: He was a borderland fighter in fal dara. He left the city for no apparent reason and does not talk enough to anyone for anyone else to know. He made his way through the country to Tar Valon and lived in the city for a few years. he is not known by anyone other than the shop owners near h9im that he worked for at various times. either being a guard or working. He soon found something as a goal. he wished to be a warder for one of the sisters of the white tower. It would allow him to fight shadowspawn should he be bonded to a sister who traveled to the blight. Though he was also looking for revenge he knew he might not get. He found something he might be able to do. that included something he had lived on.
