Backstory: Orphaned from a young age, Kalara grew up in the streets of Waterdeep. She knows them well, from the seedy underbelly to the wealthiest residential districts. In order to survive, she learned the subtle arts of thievery and deception. They have served her very well. Kalara became an initiate in the Thieves' Guild when she turned 16. Still very low in the totem pole, she performs the scut work higher-ranking members have no time for but are still crucial to the operation and survival of the guild. With her keen dark vision, Kalara knows the grimy passageways of the city's sprawling sewer system like the back of her hand.
Having never known her parents and being abandoned to a life of struggle and suffering, Kalara has never trusted others very easily and has zero friends. Therefore it was surprising, to her most of all, when she befriended a young human boy named Beau, who was also a guild initiate. Beau was strangely goodhearted for a thief, and Kalara found herself opening up to him in a way she never had with anyone else before. However it was soon discovered that Beau was actually a spy for the city guard and before Kalara could do anything on his behalf, he was executed by guild leadership for his betrayal. Feeling heartbroken, betrayed, and unsure of just exactly where she belongs, Kalara now roams the dark streets of Waterdeep, in search of anything to distract her from her grief.

Elena's mother was a human of a high noble status. Her father was a wandering bard. He was charming and a highly skilled elf, but without much money. They met in secret and fell in love.The news of Elena's birth would have been scandalous among her mother's circles, and she did not want to bring shame to her house. Therefore, when Elena was born, her parents decided that her father would look after her.
Although it broke their hearts, they agreed to never meet again for her safety.
Elena’s father raised her and taught her everything he knew. However, in time, her parents began meeting in secret again. One of the other nobles found out, and soon after the gossip was spread, her mother mysteriously died. They found, however, that unfortunately this made Elena heir to the house. Soon after she assumed her new title, her father was killed. Elena was convinced that one of the nobles assassinated her parents, jealous of their love and proud enough to hate the lower class.
Since then, Elena has bided her time. She hid her dislike of the upper class, becoming one of the people she hates and learning their games so that she can take advantage of her position when necessary. Elena pursued a life of adventuring because she knows that at some point, she will need the physical fighting skills - either to take her revenge, or in self-defence. She hides in plain sight from the nobles who want her dead, protected by the laws - for now - and building up her skills and reputation. She looks forward to the chance to get her revenge on anyone who thinks they are above others.
(Also, I'm considering changing the character name. Let me know if the last name should be one of the Waterdhavian nobles and if you have any suggestions as to which one!)

The story of this one man began with the story of two lovers. Isko, a Turami man on the run from his debts and past mistakes met Renza, a Wild Elf from the fringes of the woods near Waterdeep. Tending to his wounds out of kindness, the two spent quite a bit of time together, much to the chagrin of her tribe, which was distrustful and disdainful of humans and other non-elves. This friendship became more over time, and in turn lead to their eventual downfall. Upon the birth of their son, Aike, the three were cast out of the Elven village, Renza and her son being deemed outcasts by the tribe. They made an effort to reside in the realm of men for a time, and for a while they prospered, but eventually Isko's previous misdeeds caught up to him in the form of a dagger in the back. Only a small boy, Aike was taken by his mother to learn the way of the woods and would remain there well into his adulthood, even after his mother eventually passed from illness of the heart and body. Despite keeping to himself within the woods, the long-lived elves of his mother's tribe were quick to push him out from the area once she was laid to rest, and has left Aike wandering ever since, only interacting with others when forced to by need or circumstance. Hoping to leave the region for good, Aike has found himself in the city of Waterdeep once more, looking for the funds or means to travel.
Sorry, I don't want to be annoying and ask, but you haven't made the choices yet, right?
(It's past the 24th where I am but I know timezones can be a little different so I thought I'd just check)
I haven't! It's still the 24th in my timezone so I'll give until the end of then for anyone to squeeze any last minute things in - I'll most likely be finalising my choices and letting people know tomorrow!
Hey, I'd like to be part of this campaign. However, the race I want to see if I can use is an Animated Doll, possibly found in the alleyways of the city.
