Name: Lua Quiri (Bright Aura) Race: Aasimar: Radiant Soul (MPMM) Her parents are Drow. Alignment: Chaotic Good Class: Warlock: Hexblade. Book +1: Xanathar's Guide to Everything Family Rank: Lua has recently been accepted into House Platin. She is part of House Staff where she cooks for house members and also acts as Maid/Butler when needed. Appearance: Lau is a typical looking female Drow. She stands around 5 1/2' tall and weighs a healthy 140lbs. She sports an slender yet athlete build which makes her look large when compared to some of her slimmer counter parts. But that's where the typical Drow looks stop. Lua is an albino drow, known as a Szarkai. Her skin is alabaster-white giving her a slightly glowing look about her. Her hair is gold in color and her eyes are a metallic matching gold, hinting at the possibility of foreign ancestry. When she outside of House Platin she dresses in typical drow clothing, a black over cloak with a hood and soft black boots. Her regular clothing consists of either a dress or a leather top and pants colored purple and black. Her house staff outfit is the same as her outdoor clothing but all white instead. Background: I remember my parents and I know that they are rare among the Drow. Most Drow take a mate for either some kind of House alliance or for producing offspring. When ny parents first meet, they actually fell in love with each other, and I was the result of their love. Because of their different social status my mother took father as her consort, and they lived together in her House. My mother, Bae (Fate) Arab’afin is a member of House Arab’afin (The Daughters of the Web) and is a low-ranking Priestess of Loth who just began her training. My father Ran (Lesser) is a member of a merchant clan who serves House Arab’afin, but my father isn’t related to any of the clan members. That’s all my parents know about each other. It’s safer for them that way. The less they knew about each other’s past, the better. The only thing that mattered was their love for each other and me. When I was born, my parents said that I absolutely glowed like the light from the surface world. However, being born a Szarkai, would cause my parents a lot of trouble, especially when I barely reached adulthood at age 50. Up until then, House Arab’afin kept my birth a secret. Because I looked like a surface Elf, they believed that I was a blessing from Loth herself. They intended to train me to be a surface spy for the house. However, a rival house found out about me, House Hlalya (Seers of the Blade) and demanded to turn me over to them. They believed that I should be sacrifice to Loth. They believed that my alabaster skin and gold hair was proof that I was favored by Eilistraee, and that I should be eliminated before my I started to contaminate Loth’s children and make then turn against her. While both houses were preoccupied in arguing over me, my parents stepped in and helped me the best they could. My mother told me to leave House Arab’afin and never come back. She kissed me on the forehead and left. After she left, my father gave me a piece of paper with the name House Platin on it and a crude map and told me I could find help there. He kissed me on the forehead and left. They didn’t care what the consequences of their actions would bring then, all they cared about was me. I haven’t been with House Platin for very long, but they welcomed me with open arms. It feels strange to be around others that don’t see me as pawn for their power plays or that I have to keep myself hidden from them because of my birth. I feel safe among the stable life House Platin offers. As for my parents? I don’t what happened to them after I fled. I later learned that House Hlalya made a move against House Arab’afin, assassinating most of the members. My house retaliated like wise. I would like to find out about my parents, but until then I will keep as low as profile that I can. I changed my name and have passed myself off as a surface Elf. Even though I was raised a Drow in the cruel Drow society, I now know that that there is another way of living, and it feels right to me. I have no desire to return to the life I left behind. But questions still remain, besides the fate of my family. How did my father know about House Platin? And when I was told about Eilistraee for some reason the Goddess intrigued me. I wanted to know more. Could House Hlalya have been correct about me all along? The Player: Have you played with me before? Yes. It was Curse of Strahd ran by Impaleddearan. I played Nova Moonlight. What makes you want to play this game? It’s the interesting concept of the struggle of a Drow House devoted to Eilistraee and the path of good in the middle of a city and a society of evil ruled by Loth. I see lots of potential for roleplay, intrigue and survival in this game. Do you really think you'll stick with this for at least a year? How about 5? Yes. I’m in it for the long haul. The longest game I played in was Desert of Desolation ran by fromthe1980s. It lasted 4 years. Posting Format: [/FIELDSET]
