Just for fun, why don't you lay out a quick sketch of your character? Sometimes when I make a new character, it's on the fly, but most of the time I like to have a pre-determined set of traits that will really define them. You can put anything here, like why your character is the way he/she/kra is, what makes 'em tick, or just a short history. Heck, even a "sketch", as in a drawing will work. What do you imagine your PlaneShift character as?
I'll start (1 out of many >.> won't do 'em all):
Bryn Caminum, cyclical age 23
Race: Dermorian
Gender: Female

Temperament: Fiery. She's very unsure of herself, with a tendency to overreact to a lot of situations. She could be seen as bi-polar perhaps, with fits of shyness, envy, and rage her most common emotions. She's detached from life a bit, and naive, believing herself be the end all on most subjects and the authority on things she has no clue about. She can be construed as cold, but in reality puts herself too deeply into most situations, creating problems.
A li'l background: Born a blacksmith, loves blacksmithing, can't lift a hammer to save her life. She stokes fires, and well, being an incredibly trained and focused Red Way mage, does a good job of it. She has spent all of her life in and out of the Circle, with her father and mother at the Forges, and obsesses about fire in general. Very controlled use of it.
In Hydlaa: She's naive, and just wants to create her own life. She loves easily, loses quickly, and let's face it, kinda just leads a drama-queen life. She's a super-typical character, a little ordinary, but kinda what I'd expect from a citizen here. Magic is the norm in a land like Yliakum, and she just happens to use it for her job and be good at it. I like having a normal character sometimes, and Bryn may be as close as I get.
