Yay! Finally figured out her backstory...kinda. Or more her history.
Outline to be laid out here, story to be written when I catch up on my lit. comissions and exams be done (unless I procrastinate, like I usually do)
(rough draftish thingie?)
Chris Aimarna was born in early spring/late winter. Her mother had no complications during birth, which was a suprise in these times, she hadn't even needed magical aid. Chris was a healty beautiful baby girl with green eyes. Her grandmother, the Vashra of the clan, was excited to hear that the oldest child of her son and his wife was a female.
OUTLINE!
Age: Birth - 10 years
-Her mother didn't have the divination powers her grandmother did, and thus couldn't succeed her. Of course, her mother also married her grandmother's son, so it wasn't expected she would have the magic the Vashra had. Because the Rhennee are slightly matriarchal, her father couldn't become the Vashra either.
-When Chris was born, they were excited, for even as a really young child she showed aptitude for magic and they thought she could be trained to be the next Vashra.
-Joy turned to dissapoinment as her magic didn't seem to flow with divination, rather enchantment and transmutation, and her magic was more apparent when she sang.
-They tried to get her to stop singing (she was only a child) and start studying the magic they wanted her to learn but her grandmother, seeing something she had nearly forgotten in Chris's eyes, encouraged her musical path and chaotic nature.
-Her grandmother's father (Chris's great grandfather) apparently had the same eyes as Chris, though her grandmother said it was when she sang that she could most see them.
-Chris decided to leave, and her grandmother placed a spell on her to protect her until a certain age, though Chris doesn't know the spell.
-At age 10, Chris left her clan with the new name of Talespinner, forsaking her family name to find her own path as her grandmother wanted her to.
Age: 10 - 20
-Shortly after leaving home, she was attacked by orcs, and was rescued by a kind gentleman that had a lute and pan pipes. He started playing his song and the orcs ran in fear away. It was on that day Chris met her mentor and teacher, her master.
-He took her in right away, seeing her special talent for music and began training her voice and her ability to play string instruments, which were Chris's favorite.
-She found herself right at home, though she sensed something familiar about her master, but never brought herself to inquire about it as it would be rude.
-He also filled her head with lots of knowledge and random tidbits of information, and was amazed at the stories and tales and songs she could weave about nearly anything.
-When she was 15 the rigorous training began, he was kind, but harsh, making sure she understood music to be something to be loved, and not a chore. He impressed upon her many wisdoms (though she didn't understand them all)
-He also encouraged her chaotic nature and her style of clothing changed from the more duller colors of her clan to bright ribbons in her hair and a multicolored skirt, much more fitting for a bard. She never let her hair get past shoulder length (and still doesn't) and her hair usually looks like a mess of ribbons and color, as she also took to dying her hair various colors (though not so much anymore)
-When she was 20 her master departed one night without warning, leaving her on her own in Verbabonc. Though saddened, she was grateful for everything he did. He had also placed a protective spell upon her at a temple dedicated to Dalt.
-Dalt was a personal worship choice for her, as her clan primarily followed Oldimarra, a more rougish god. It would be fitting for her bard self as well, but Dalt's mantra and her beliefs worked better with her. She saw life as a pathway with doors and locks to get through, and swore to never let anything get her down.
Event:
Her master got up well before she did in the morning. It was time to go, and long goodbyes were never easy. He went into her room and made sure she had supplies enough to get her wherever she was going to be called. He put a hand on the girl's shoulder as she slept, whispering her good luck on her journey. With that, he turned and started walking out of the room. As he stood in the doorway for one brief moment, and whispered something in draconic Chris thought she remembered hearing but can't make out the words.
Age: 20-22
-Started adventuring in the Shield Lands where she went on an adventure to find "The Book of Dark Alchemy". Though the party found it and though she wanted to read it, she didn't dare touch it, and it was turned over to the authorities that requested it. Of course, she also discovered something called "The Strings of the Three Fingered Bard" and hopes that when she returns to the Shield Lands she'll be able to finally purchase those and replace her lyre strings with them.
~Strings of the Three Fingered Bard~
Can be attached to a masterwork stringed musical instrument.
Someone with bardic music as a class can use certain magical effects.
As a full round action can use Tasha's Hideous Laughter 2/day at CL 3
Shatter once per day at CL 4
(It is regional access, so when I go to the SHL again, I'm hoping to play Chris and get the 5,760 gp to buy'em...O_O)
-She actually went to Highfolk after that and went on a few adventures there, one included assisting the bardic college of Highfolk embarassing the Guildsmen of the High Arts, which was much fun. (It was...but the judge made it waaaay to dirty)
-Shortly after this adventure concluded as she leveled up reflected on the experiences gained from her adventures, she headed home to Verbabonc, though on the way discovered a portal to another world. Stepping through, she found herself here on Gaia.
^_^ All right...that makes the outline done. Yay!
-Spells protecting Chris - specific triggers for each
-Master - *secret identity there*
-Grandmother - Protects Chris's mind from being invaded/whiped/messed with unless Chris gives permsission of her own free will. No compulsions, spells, effects, can make her do otherwise. Ribbon representing her - Silver ribbon
And here's hoping I get to play her a little more...*sighs* before LG ends... ^_^
Rough drafts suxors...
