Vendui!
To make it easier for the others to keep track with appearance and behaviour etc., you may post your character's description into this thread.
Remember though, this description shall describe your characters as they are perceived by the others, no background and somesuch.

Narzen
Website
eMail 14:23 May.04 - Re: Characters
Narzen is 4'11" (150 cm) tall and weighs 101 lb. (46 kg), making him rather small even for a drow. He's in good trim, though not exactly muscular. He has white hair reaching down to his shoulders, with a single braid going down his right cheek and reaching down to his chest. Narzen's eyes are milky white, most often with a cold and emotionless look in them. His features are handsome enough to draw attention to him, but not so much as to make him stand out in a crowd. All in all, he has no particular distinction marks.
Narzen is wearing a form-fitting leather outfit, though more than a casual look will tell there's a light chain shirt underneath. He tends to wrap himself in a cloak that seems as if it was torn in shreds, yet appears to conceal him quite well when we wants to. His boots are high-heeled but produce a mere whisper of a sound as he moves.
On his sword-belt there's a curved, wide-bladed rapier with a plain-looking hilt, likely not of drow make. He apparently has a couple of daggers and perhaps other hidden weapons as well on his person.
Narzen is calm most of the time, preferring to be still and watch his surroundings, thus making all the movements he does make to stand out somewhat - provided he wants to be noticed. He prefers an eye contact when talking to people, apparently considering everyone around him to be his equals, although playing by the norms of society when necessary doesn't seem too difficult for him.

Note: I'll update this as more is revealed, especially concerning combat tactics.
Dxzauvrinn

06:14 May.05 - Re: Characters
Dx'zau'vrinn stands 5'0" tall and weighs 97lbs. He has deep black skin and slightly slanted, lifeless, nearly white, icey blue eyes. His features are sharp and haunting, but very handsome. His wavy hair is pearly-white and cascades down slightly past his shoulders, though sometimes he plats it into dozens of thin braides which is his current style. His slender body is tightly muscled and his arms are well corded though whip-like. He wears a adamantite gorget around his neck which doesn't quite conceal a gray scar running from ear to slightly pointed ear on his throat. Any tattoos or other scars he may bear are unseen due to his garb. He wears a jet-black cloak that fully envelops his small frame when he chooses, high black boots, tight black leather gloves, a fine spider silk black vest, and a finely crafted mithril mesh chain shirt. Sheathed upon his belt is a magnificent steel rapier with an elaborate caged hilt and a wickedly curved jambiya.

6' 0" tall Drow stands with broad and sturdy shoulders. His weight brings to a close 121 lbs, which makes him one the few other drow measured at that height. His head is shaven except for the silver hair, which is long and braided, based at his skullcap. He wears a mask of fine black silk stiched onto one side is a silver spider, when the mask is moved to the side or taken off, scarred scross his face is a cruder version of the spider.
The scar doesn't hide the fire in his eyes.
At first glance it looks as if Zai wears a pair on Mithril gauntlets, but a clooser look one would notice the they are actually replacements which add to his weight. They are carved with many and elaberate runes of old elvish. Towards the midarm are a set of blue saphires.
Like most Drow, he has a trained ebon body. Corvered in a loose fitting black velvet shirt with violet trim. His dark breeches are also loose fitting but not enough the hinder movement. His belt is covered in pouches, and smells if one gets close enough.
Besides the hand crossbow hanging at his side there are no other visible weaponry.

Nathrae
Website
eMail 11:19 May.05 - Re: Characters
Provided there's enough light to see colours later on...
Nathrae is a tall (5'4) drow woman of slender built and even obsidian skin.
Her expression is most often slightly ironic with her silvery eyes betraying some cold amusement. Her long white hair is pulled back; the upper strands are divided to three thick tails that are held by ornately ciseled, matted silver slides at the back of her head. The rest of her hair flows freely to her shoulders and reaches mid-back.
She wears a wide black cloak of heavy spider silk, that's intricatly embroidered (in different shades of grey) along the hems with some decorative stylized spiders. The gown underneath is made of purple brocade silk, it is a sleeveless long overcoat she wears on top of slim fitting black nubuck breeches, that are tucked in knee-high, soft, black leather boots.
There's a thin belt around her waist, with some well crafted pouches of different size to both sides; a sheeted rapier dangles from the belts right side. Any other equipment must be kept in her slightly worn, black backpack.
(I'll surely alter this description by time)

Zhadristan Myxim is quite tall for an drow elf, with a hight of 5’ 5’’ and built like a willow, weighing only around 97 lb. He has wiry muscles and a very fit built. Zhadristan keeps his white hair cropped brutally short to the skull. Zhandristan has has a slightly emanciated face and body, looking as if he had been starving for a while and not quite recovered yet. He has scars covering his arms, torso and face. He wears elven chain mail cut in the classical drow way and keeps his kris longsword short at hand. Hanging unused from his elven chain mail are a chain hauberk and a chain veil to cover the lower half of the face..

Nata'al stands at about 5'8'' and is quite strongly build, even for a Drow female. Nonetheless, she walks around with great agility and care, as if she had trained her body's every movement to perfection. A slight scar mars her otherwise beautiful facial features, trailing a thin line from her left eye vertically to her chin. Most of her long white hair flows freely around her shoulders, just about a handful has been worked into an equally long tail.
Her stark white eyes make it difficult for observers to detect what she actually looks at, a circumstance she more often than not recognises with a wry smile.
Right now she wears a blackened mithral chain shirt, which extends into some sort of a mithral skirt that leaves her legs partly uncovered.* The scabbard of her longsword is tied to her back, her left arm usually covered by a jet black and apparently sharpened buckler. A couple of daggers loom out of her boots' shafts.
As opposed to many other females, Nata'al doesn't seem to wear any jewellery apart from one long earring in her right ear, obviously made from obsidian.
*Just check the female shown HERE to get the impression.

Vezellek
Website
eMail 08:05 May.23 - Re: Characters
Standing at 4'9" and weighing in at 84 lbs Vezellek is a rather standard sized female drow. Her bone white hair flows down to the middle of her back and is kept in three braids. Despite her eyes having the commonly found red pupils, they contain a sign of cold wisdom. The muscles of her body are sleek and althetic, giving an impression of great agility.
Taking a look at the clothes she wears you notice that it all seems to be a bit more worn then you'd expect on a female. It fits more to the wear and tear you'd see on somebody that is out in the wilds of the Underdark. She must not be as typical a female as first thought. The leather armor she wears is dyed black and appears well made. At her left side you can see a sling strapped next to a small pouch and a dagger just in front of that. On her right side you can catch a glimpse of what appears to be a short curved blade of some sort. Her cloak has a faint spider web design embrodiered across it in spider silk.
All in all Vezellek appears to be a bit rougher and wild then one is used to seeing from drow females, even despite her common generic features (hair, eyes, skin, height, weight)

Keth
Before you is a tall (nearly 6 feet) beautiful young female drow with long silver hair, pulled back into a simple braid going down her back, reaching down to below her waist. Her most starling feature is her vivid orange eyes flecked with gold in such a way that there appears to be minute spiders dancing within her irises.
Within the confines of her piwafwi, you can see well-oiled dark leathers. A pair of short swords sheathed at her hips and a vicious morning star hanging from her belt, are the only weapons visible upon her person.
A small metal shield slung over her back, covers a backpack of black oiled leather.
Prominently displayed on her breast, hanging from her neck is a silver holy symbol of Lolth.

Nata'al (in "adventuring" outfit)
Nata'al [NA-ta'Al or na: ta a:l (almost)] stands at about 5'8'' and is quite strongly build, even for a Drow female. Nonetheless, she walks around with great agility and care, as if she had trained her body's every movement to perfection. A slight scar mars her otherwise beautiful facial features, trailing a thin line from her left eye vertically to her chin. Most of her long white hair flows freely around her shoulders, just about a handful has been worked into an equally long tail. Her stark white eyes make it difficult for observers to detect what she actually looks at, a circumstance she more often than not recognises with a wry smile.
Right now she wears a blackened adamantine chain shirt, which extends into some sort of a skirt that leaves her legs partly uncovered.* The careful observer will note sharpened edges and small blades wrought into the armour's chain links as well as the sides of her boots. The scabbard of her sabre is tied to her back, her left arm usually covered by a jet black and apparently sharpened shield. A couple of daggers loom out of her boots' shafts. She's strapped a quiver made of something like spider silk right next to the scabbard, which also contains a shortbow. Most of what is carried at her belt is covered by her piwafwi.
As opposed to many other females, Nata'al doesn't seem to wear any jewellery apart from one long earring in her right ear, obviously made of obsidian.
*Just check the AD&D Monstrous Manual to get the impression.

Iira
A rather typical male in weight and height. The thing that sets Iira apart from a typical male or even a typical drow in general are his ears. His ears appear to be "clipped"* and he keeps his head shave to make sure they are seen. His eyes have red pupils (well pink really but red sounds better) and he twitches them from time to time as he scans his surroundings out of habit. He travels lightly compared to most, no armor to be seen. He is only dressed in clothing heavy enough to keep him warm while traveling the tunnels of the Underdark. Strapped to his back is a small backpack with a built in quiver full of arrows for the shortbow strapped to the pack. Worn at his side is a looped length of chain that is ended with some sharp blades. With a bit of closer examination (not much closer but a bit more then a casual glance) one will notice that Iira wears a ring made of jade on each of his fingers, thumbs included.
* An explanation of the clipped ears. This character is an adaptation of the drow I play in my offline Underdark campaign. This campaign has a number of homebrew alterations to races but the biggest is to the drow. In this campaign there are 4 factions of drow. The first are those on the surface. The second are your typical chaotic evil bunch who just got about their lives like normal. This group is typical drow but mostly non-lolth followers. The third group is a group that is trying to change their ways and become good. This groups ultimate goal is to break free from the drow way and become paladins. They are a lawful striving group. The final group, which my character belongs to, are fiercely loyal to Lolth and her ways. This are typical drow they are just a bit extreme in their ways. They "clip" their ears to show all just where they fall alliegence wise. In this campaign the points of elven ears go up completely vertical. The process of clipping is where one slices their ear where it meets the skull and forcing the ear point downward and letting it heal. The result is having ears that point backwards at an angle which immediately marks the person as different. The further back the angle the ear is at the more powerful the person is. High priestesses have ears the point backwards nearly horizontal. Iira has ears that slant backwards at about a 50 degree angle, so just about halfway between normal and where a high priestess would be at.

Sheiriya (provisional description)
If body perfection has a name, it would be Sheiriya. The female drow is certainly the most stunning and beautiful drow anyone of you has ever seen. Clad in dark leather, she strides gracefully around, a spider-hilted rapier at her hip.

Update and modifications on Narzen's bio; any contradictions to the original description should be considered natural character evolution...
* * *
Narzen Sin'th ['na:Zen]
Narzen is rather slight in build, barely reaching 5 feet in height and weighing approximately 100 pounds. He's in good trim but not exactly muscular. His hair is more natural white than a pure tone, reaching down to his shoulders. A single, narrow braid runs down his right cheek all the way to his chest, adding a measure of care to his otherwise unkempt hair. Narzen's eyes are milky white, most often with a cold and emotionless, almost absent look in them. His features are handsome in a rugged way, but he doesn't stand out in a crowd.
Narzen usually wears a form-fitting leather overcoat, cut open on the legs in elven style. The coat has been torn and patched together in several places, and a silver glimmer of a chain shirt occasionally shows underneath. On top of the coat, Narzen wears a dull gray cloak with well-worn edges, though the fabric appears to conceal him quite well when wrapped around him. His boots are high-heeled, yet give a mere whisper of a sound as he moves.
On his weapon belt, there's a wide-bladed rapier with a plain-looking hilt, likely not of drow make. In addition, his coat has dagger sheaths on the thigh on either side of him, and a small crossbow is suspended with a shoulder strap at his waist.
Aside from his weapons, Narzen's coat has several holsters and pockets for various small items, although he keeps most his gear in a small bag which, like most his things, is secured to his coat with straps and buckles.
Narzen is calm most of the time, preferring to observe his surroundings, which tends to draw attention to him on the occasions he does move - provided he wants to be noticed. He prefers to make eye contact when talking to people, apparently considering everyone around him to be his equals, although he seems able to play by the norms of drow society without much difficulty. Narzen has an ironic, occasionally morbid sense of humor, which sometimes makes it difficult to tell if he's serious about something.
In combat he is not quite as emotinonless as otherwise, but rather than excited, he appears more tired of it all. While he obviously disdains needless brutality as a waste of effort, he shows little mercy or remorse in combat himself, and has little use for the concept of honor.

Lest I forget ...
Talice "of Skullport"
She's clad in dark, flowing clothes, covering a yet black chain shirt and almost reaching down to her knees. One might expect that in dark conditions, she might be able to vanish entirely into the shadows. A quiver and a shortbow are strapped to her back, but also almost covered by her robe. A dagger that looms out of her left bootshaft is the only other visible weapon and she apparently does not carry much equipment either. An earring sporting a black pearl is the only notable jewellery she wears.
-
Zouhlnor Entamanier standing at 5'1'' he is an impressive drow. his muscles are finely tuned but do not hamper his raically gifted limberness. he is well built and has a nack for knowing his enemies weaknesses. Zouhlnor leaves no one confused as to whom he pays his homage, Lolth above all else. he wears a simply decorated headpiece adorn with the symbol of Lolth, accented with a precious stone. a mythral chain shirt decorated with webbing filigree protects his hide, he also wears a neclace it is a simple cord with an 8 inch white crystal that hangs low off of his neck. a baldrick and belt hold his haversack and greataxe. the greataxe which is strapped to his back Zouhlnor calls 'fourth fury'. where the handle meets the axe-head spiderlegs arch out to the serrated blade, along the handle is scrawled "Lolth tlu mall; jal ultrinnan zhah xundus."
-
Zouhlnor also has clipped ears, like his brother Iira. his hair is long and platnum white except for a tinge of green but pushed behind his ears by his headpiece. his eye's are speckled amber and glow like gold. Zouhlnor also wears a long fitted tunic, rothe' hide gauntlets, and fitted pantaloons all obsessedly covered in Lolth associated symbols and decoration.

A description of Malifice as you now (01/18/06) see her:
Malifice is approximately 5’7” tall and 120 lbs. Her skin is indigo-black and her eyes are red flecked with purple. She has long, pure white silky hair that she partially braids and then pins back in a messy up-do, leaving a few strands to frame her face. While her face shares the beauty common to most drow women, Malifice’s true appeal is less traditional; her beauty lays not in feminine curves but in a feral, wicked, predatory form reminiscent of a displacer beast. Malifice is muscled but lithe, incredibly well toned and graceful. One might think her body that of a professional dancer or athlete and in a sense they would be right. She is strong, quick, graceful and tough. She has a white-tattoo of a spider in the small of her back, and bands of white-tattoo webbing around each arm. She also possesses numerous small scars: there is one above her left eyebrow, a y-shaped one low on her right cheek, one on her chin and several on her forearms. Other scars peek out from under her armor and clothing, including three short, ragged parallel lines on her knee.
Currently, she wears a blackened mithral breastplate and sports a blackened mithral buckler both adorned with a house symbol on their surfaces. A black shortsword rests on each hip and there is a sheathed dagger tucked into her sash in the small of her back. Strapped to the gauntlet on her right wrist is a hand crossbow. The bolts for the crossbow are in a case just behind the shortsword at her left hip. She wears thigh-high drow boots of glossy black leather adorned with numerous straps and buckles that attach by garters to her matching black leather girdle. A narrow silk loin cloth drapes down from the girdle in front and behind, leaving the smooth skin of her thighs exposed. Around her back she wears a piwafi, and on her forearms she wears fingerless gauntlets of glossy black leather stretching up to her bicep. Like her boots, the gauntlets are adorned with numerous straps and buckles. Around her neck she wears a choker from which dangles a house symbol of some sort. Around her waist she wears a silver chain from which dangles a holy symbol of Lolth. She also has a soft black leather satchel slung across her body.
EDITED: She has a breastplate not a chainshirt. Mik.

Draezen "The Direhand" Drezz'Lynur stands 5'1" tall and weighs just over 120 pounds. His slender lith form is completely ripped with tight rock solid muscle that seems to provide him with a natural armor of smooth onyx stone. The muscles on his slightly concaved stomach are particularly well-honed and look as if an adamantite club would shatter on them. The drow features are sharp and very handsome, though haunting. His eyes are red, but they appear glassy like a pair of red tinged diamonds. His brilliant white smile is quite charming and would likely be disarming in a non-drow society. His wavy mithril white hair falls just below his shoulders, though he often keeps it tucked back into the dark hood of his black piwafwi, which he almost always has drawn over his head. Besides the piwafwi, he wears pair of fine black boots that come up to his rock-hard calfs. He also wears a light and loose fitting black silk vest, a pair of adamantite bracers, a non descript amulet and black straps of leather wrapped around his hands and wrist. Loose fitting black breaches cover his legs.
His strides are quick and fluid and possess the natural grace of hunting cat.
In his eyes and smile gleam a quiet confidents that never seems to waver.

Xyranma
spoken [ksyranma:]
By now you know Xyranma as a finely crafted adamantine spider about the size of a rat, which would be worth a few thousand gold pieces. But unlike a statuette it moves, is quite intelligent and has a free will. It speaks with a voice that the experienced spellcaster would recognize to be created by a spell like ghost sound.
-
Tavia of the Dark Path
Tavia [TA-via] is a tall female, tall especially by drow standards. She easily stands at 5'10 and moves her well-muscled frame about with a nigh unearthly grace. As long as she isn't resting, it always appears that her body is tensed like that of a hunting cat on the prowl. She keeps her hair short, so you see her neck and the Dark Path's rune quite often (see below). Her white eyes scan the surrounding Underdark constantly, while she regularly stops to listen, check the footing, or the walls. The scout wears some sort of darkish leather scale on her upper body, scabbard of sword, quiver and bow slung accross her back. A few belts, loincloths, and knee-high boots of drowish craftsmanship cover her lower body, though she constantly wears a black-, brown- and gray-mottled cloak. A longuish dagger's hilt shows at her left boot, while a few pouches, a silken rope, and a small bag find their spaces at her belts.
The few times you hear her speak, Tavia communicates in a somewhat foreignish sounding dialect of drow.
Wanting an impression (of her hairstyle): Front (http://www.moviemaze-wallpaper.de/403071881fee5fdc11d1364a6261864b6b9df02f4/aeon-flux-wallpaper-3-800.jpg) and Side (http://www.moviemaze-wallpaper.de/658189191f93037e6652802e2f3b7f61904e37f15/aeon-flux-wallpaper-11-800.jpg) NB: Should the pop-up's show no picture, simply hit the Refresh button / icon of your browser.)

Gaess ['g^iss]
Gaess is a woman with the body of a gymnast. She appears human on a glance, but her eyes are gleaming yellow like those of a wolf; she has red hair with a metallic tint to it, and her skin is the palest shade of pink, deepening into blood red at her fingertips. Closer inspection reveals dark veins eerily visible through the skin and the curving nails on her fingers and toes are of opaque, iridescent green shade.
But a couple of inches past 5 feet tall, Gaess walks barefoot, wearing a pair of loose-fitting white trousers and a baggy shirt with its sleeves tucked in metal bracers. She has a modest silk sash tied around her waist, and a web-patterned black cloak is draped over her shoulders.
She moves about in a swift gait, delicate and fierce at the same time, her toenails clipping the earth beneath her feet with each step.

Sheiriya
“Shei“ like „fey - „ri“ like „be“ (and the „r“ as in German or Italian) - „ya like „yes“ and „but“
To quote our dm because he should know: ;)
If body perfection has a name, it would be Sheiriya. The female drow is certainly the most stunning and beautiful drow anyone of you has ever seen.
Most of the time she wears her long silver hair in a pony-tail with a few strands playing around her face. With the exception of Zhadristan, the group knows her eyes to be pitch black. She is clad in tight-fitting leather in the colour of her skin, which does its best to present her figure and has the effect that she looks naked, except for a black cloak with silver ornamentations, at first glance. A small golden disc on a silver necklace rests above her breasts and she wears a silver tiara and two silver rings. Her weaponry consists of a light crossbow with quiver and an adamantine rapier crafted in the form of a spider with the first pair of legs forming the blade, the others forming the basket and the abdomen being the hilt.
-
Farviaan Dem
(Don't bother trying, berk. You wouldn't be able to pronounce it right anyway.)
Farviaan is a very tall and lanky creature with unnaturally pale yellow skin. His face looks like a blend of elf and orc: Angular features, slitted black eyes, sharp pointy ears that are serrated at the back, no nose to speak of, and a small mouth full of sharp teeth that indicates a diet of meat. His short red hair clings tightly to his skull.
To the trained eye it is obvious that he is a warrior. Several scars in his face and a very pronounced one on his throat tell tales of many close fights. Several strange tattoos on face and neck add to his unusual looks.
Farviaan moves with the grace of a well-trained fighter who uses cunning and sublte combat techniques rather than brute force. His whole figure radiates confidence in his abilities and the unspent energy of a predator.
The gaunt warrior is clad in some kind of dusky breastplate with dark gray and green padding. If he stands still, he seems to fade into the background. The armor is embellished with swirling patterns that can make other creatures dizzy if they stare at them too long. On his shoulders sits a dark green cloak with a hood. At his left hip you can see a very large bladed weapon with an ornate hilt in a broad scabbard: At his right hangs a seemingly empty quiver. And you get the impression that there are several other weapons hidden somewhere on his person.
-
Shei:
If body perfection has a name, it would be Sheiriya. The female drow is certainly the most stunning and beautiful drow anyone of you has ever seen.
Is that actually the case? As you cannot possibly know the background of our PCs, it seems hard for me to believe you can say positively that your character is the most attractive female drow we have ever seen. Now, if there is some hidden reason for this, such as Shei is really Lolth, then Zanan can confirm to me she is the "most stunning blah blah." Also, beauty is subjective ("beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and all that) and the most beautiful female in the world to one person, is probably not the most beautiful female in the world to a different person - so, given the subjectivity of beauty and my new PCs background, unless there is such an underlying fact (i.e. Shei is Lolth), then its doubtful that the description is accurate with regards to my PC - and if it is true, that will certainly raise some suspicions.
-
Zhadristan
Zhadristan Myxim is quite tall for an drow elf, with a hight of 5’ 5’’ and weighs around 120 lb. He has wiry muscles and a very fit built. His white hair is at about a finger's length. As most drow he is dressed in dark clothes, though Zhadristan's look like he spent more than the average coin on them. He wears a spidersilk armor and a well worn piwafwi. His visible arms include a sabre on his hip and a hand crossbow, which usually dangling from his weapons belt.
The chain of an amulet is visible around his neck, but the amult itself is hidden beneath the armor. He wears fingerless leather gloves and rings on both hands.
I would promise to fill in some more details later on, but since I will be quite pressed for time until end of september, I probably won't do it before then.
-
Of course I don't know your pc's background, I was just quoting part of Zanan's description of Sheiriya because I liked it. And of course, beauty if subjective to some degree but there is scientific evidence that there is at least something which every human (and so probably something alike every drow) defines as "beautiful". If there is an ideal of beauty for drow, Sheiriya comes quite close to it, and that truely has a reason.
-
Before you stands a tiny attractive female drow, she can’t be much over four feet tall. Her waist length white hair is pulled back into a simple braid. Sapphire blue eyes, take in her surroundings from beneath a golden tiara inset with a ruby, around her neck hangs a silver pendant in the shape of a spider. At the base of her throat is a tattoo of a white spider.
Dressed in a flowing blood red silk shirt with the cuffs closed by a pair of golden bracers, she has a black silk sash around her waist covering her weapons belt. Tight black leather pants covered with a silver web pattern, ending in polished black leather boots which finishes out her outfit.
Behind her left hip you see the basket hilt of a rapier with a quiver of bolts behind it. Her crossbow hangs next to a well oiled haversack.
Perched upon her right shoulder is a large black widow about the size of a person’s fist, which she seems to occasionally confer with about something.

Tarinyon Jiv'undor
Few people know that Tarinyon was born in the famous Drow city Ust Natha, which was destroyed by a couple of adventurers a few years ago. He belonged to the house Jiv'undenor, a very cruel Drow family, which loved to torture and causing pain. Tarinyon however, didn't share their bias and devoted himself to the study of Necromancy.
As he fled from the bruning ruins of Ust Natha, he lost his believe in the matriarchalic society of the Drow (of course he never really liked it).
Tarinyon is a inconspicuous, lanky Drow, which covers his feace and his body most of the time in heavy dark robes, which are embroidered with skulls and bones. He has a very wicked aura, even for a Drow, which causes most of the underdark people to distrust and dislike him.
-
Naedragard
The "human" is a tall specimen by all accounts, surely making the 6 feet mark. Her long blond hair flies freely around her bare shoulders, a few braids hardly keeping it in check. She's got a well muscled frame and her movements show that she also has a fair amount of agility. Her legs as well as her upper body is covered by what looks like some dark emerald snake-hide clothing, clinging as close to her as a second skin would. A pair of gloves and bracers cover her lower arms, a heavy platinum chain and something that looks like a torque her otherwise bare neck. An assortment of small belts mark out her well-formed hips, while other equipment like bags, bow, a quiver, food, and ropes lie at her feet. No other weaponry or armor can be spotted.
Essentially, she looks like THIS LADY (http://www.unificationfrance.com/IMG/jpg/rings_01_site.jpg) ... except for the clothes.

Temporary Transfer of Kiaransalyn's first posting:
Posted: 18 Mar 2007 11:15 am
It was with a despairing, sinking sensation that Pavel Thune watched his pack rothe die. The beast had been fed often enough and there were frequent water stops along the trail. So why had the creature died, he wondered. After it had served him uncomplainingly for so long. The albino drow ran a hand over his smooth chin. Could it be that the creature had died of old age?
Was that possible in his world?
-
Paval Thune is bloodless, perhaps that is the best way of describing him. He is about 4' 11" in height and has a long mane of bone white hair. He is an albino drow and his alabaster skin is what draws most observers attention - assuming that the light is adequate to discern this. I use the term bloodless because he is coldly psychopathic in all that he does. He has no friends and no relatives. He has only one love but that is unrequited. The irony being that in order to first obtain this love he had render himself unable to reciprocate.
His calculating grey eyes see more than he will ever say. He values others only in terms of how useful they are to him. He is not arrogant. As a general rule he is polite and well-spoken. He does not seek to anger others but he never forgets a grudge. Although, he is quite verbose he never really speaks his mind. His voice is a harsh rasp of a shattered whisper and he can not raise a shout.

Jhaelvirr Khalazza
Before you stands a medium build drow with white hair and blue eyes. He has a wiry body that never seems to stand still. His attire is very unkempt: greasy, matted hair, tattered clothing, but with several items that are in very good condition despite their dirty looks. And he reeks as if he didn't wash in months. Which is actually the case.
Also, these seems to be always something odd about Jhaelvirr's appearance. Something that doesn't fit a typical drow.
Jhaelvirr has something about him that can make other people uneasy. His eyes constantly move as if he's seeing things that others cannot spot. Often, he seems to listen to someone only he can hear. He has a very unstable and erratic personality. His moods can swing from brooding to happy, apathic, paranoid, furious, or distant in short order, but one is generally dominating. Which depends on his daily mental condition, but can never be predicted.

Korach
Well, for a first impression, take a minotaur (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG189a.jpg), paint it black and add some muscles. Then put it into a spiked full plate, give it a greataxe and let a heavy steel shield float near it. For a completion add some more weapons (warhammer, dagger, harpoon), let a little crystal float around its head and add a rucksack.
(I guess I will replace this description when I had the time to write a better one.)
