Yay! My character sheet has been approved. Here she is:
Name: Reia
six: Female
Age: 24
Race: Breton
Alignment: Hero
Motivation: Her sister, Elenya, was killed during the slaughtering and she wants revenge.
Skills: Highly skilled healer, and good with a bow. Carries a silver dagger in her boot just in case, but otherwise stays away from close-combat.
Physical Appearance: A Breton with a drop of Elven blood ( her great-grandmother was a Wood Elf), Reia has always been a little exotic. Short, even for a Breton, and very slight, her Arena Light Raiment has always been a bit too large for her. Her skin is so thin her veins show through and she is very pale, save for a light dusting of freckles across her short, upturned nose. Her long, wavy brown hair is so dark it is almost black, and although it is very fine, she has so much of it that its thinness does not matter. Her eyes are her feature that set her apart from everyone else, though – very large, almond shaped and a deep dark blue color like the sea during the night.
Weapons: She carries a quiver filled with sharp silver arrows and a silver bow. She also keeps a silver dagger in her boot as a precaution, although it is rarely used.
Mental Description/Personality: At first glance, Reia seems like a quiet, reserved, bitter young girl. She speaks in a low, quiet voice and often plays with her hair or looks at her feet when talking. Her aura is dark and solemn, and she rarely smiles at anyone anymore. She has a quick tongue and is actually quite witty, but doesn't use it often anymore, preferring to keep to herself. She is judgmental, holds grudges, is very loyal and puts a lot of stock in first impressions – and if you get on her bad side, she will never let you forget it.
Brief History: Reia and her twin sister, Elenya, grew up in a quaint village near the southern coast of High Rock. They were inseparable, closer than it seemed anyone had ever been. Their family owned a little inn, and Reia and Elenya were growing up preparing to take ownership of it when their parents got too old. However, everything changed when Reia and Elenya were 18 and their village was attacked in a raid. Both their parents were killed and the inn was burned to the ground – Reia and Elenya barely escaped with their lives. However, Elenya was heavily injured, and Reia was forced to learn Restorative magic to heal her sister completely, which took several weeks. Even after Elenya was healed, Reia continued with her study of restorative magic.
Orphaned and with nowhere to live, Reia and Elenya wandered the countryside for a year, doing odd jobs to pay for room and board overnight, practicing with a bow they had found on a dead highwayman’s body for entertainment, and never really knowing what they were trying to do. Eventually they found themselves in Bruma, when they heard of a wonderful prospect; the Arena. The sisters were interested – they could work as a team, earning and saving up money to buy themselves a house or maybe an inn. After a year of wandering, settling down sounded nice.
So they made their way to the Imperial City. The blademaster laughed at them – how did two pretty little Bretons plan on surviving in the Arena. Nevertheless, he allowed them to join, and the sisters began training – Reia with the same old bow, which she had always had a talent for, and Elenya with a sword. The blademaster was surprised at their natural talent and even more surprised when they won their first match in record time. For five years, the sisters climbed their way up through the ranks, slowly but surely making themselves famous and well-loved throughout the city. They were thought to be unstoppable, inseparable – until Elenya’s death during the celebrations of the closing of the last oblivion gate.
