Do what the title says. Create a character. Any character. Time period does not matter. Your only limit is your imagination. There are a few rules. 1. Please give a description of your character's race and occupation. This way, people reading this thread might get a better idea who your character is. It might inspire someone too. 2. Please, no crude jokes or characters. I know there might the tempation to make a porn star character but I think members of the Escapist are much too intelligent and cultured, for a lack of a better term, to stoop such levels. 3. Please use spolier tags as needed. I want this thread to be tidy. When quoting, use spolier tags and cut out unnecessary text. The thread will be easier to read. 4. Have fun.

Rus the Tiefling Scholar
There is no agreed upon time for when the race was created, but story of their creation is similar throughout the world. Tieflings are a race that were created by human nobles that desired more. A small group of nobles gathered at a local witch-doctor, a man that was believed to have a connection with the gods. The ceremony was performed and afterwards the small group were reported with feelings of increased strengh, beauty, and intelligence. They truly had the abilities of gods. But the behaviors and actions of the nobles angered the gods. They did not want to share power with people that might challenge their power. So they renouced them. The beauty turned ugly. The skin turned red, a tail grew, canines enlongated, and horns started to sprout. The strengh turned to rage, implanting the seed of hatred of the gods. The intelligence remained the same. The newly founded race began searching for a cure, something to reverse this horrible transformation. But it was to no avail. No cure was found and the Tiefling race remains as it was when the gods first renouced them.
Scholars are the keepers of history and magic. All scholars excel in at least one area or another in both magic and history. They are frequently encountered in public libraries in cities, private libraries of powerful nobles, observatories, or any other place where knowledge is discussed, interpretated, researched, etc. They make excellent aides and dipolmats They tend to avoid combat, but can hold their in a fight.
Rus is employed by a lord that his father served for. He is works as one of the lord's personal aides, which is spilt between magic users and the newest models of robtic bulters, created in the factories, usually run by dwarves, in the poorer district of the Middle Kingdom City. Rus is not dislike technology, but believes that the rate at which is progressing is alarming. Rus believes that by 1850th year of Civilization, magic will cease to exist. The discovery of an artifact that dates to the beginning of Civilization has the hold of his attention most of the time these days, but the chances of seeing first hand is extremely slim. Rus believes that his lord will allow him to leave the manor for some time because of how deep their relation runs, but has a nagging thought that he will have to sneak out.
