(I'm back... Found no cat, and gave out quite a few fliers.)

 

 (Is he/she an indoor cat?)

 (We try to keep him inside, but he gets out regularly, and always came back.)

 I’m confident he’ll return...

(Have you guys filled out the description and backstory parts of your character sheets?)

 Description, yes. Background, no. I probably won't as I don't have a complete backstory filled out yet. I'm kind of making it up as I go along :P

 (Mine is in the Adventurer's Tavern thread. I also copied my backstory from the posts there and pasted it below. Oh, and that's perfectly reasonable Mandos.)

Xhandras' Backstory (as told by him):  

  "We met at the College of Magic, the most prestigious school for mages in my entire world. The school had stood for over a thousand years, and was founded by some of the greatest wielders of magic ever to walk the planes. I was fourteen, he fifteen. He had been raised at an orphanage all of his life, and had never known his parents. I had been born to a poor family on the streets of Menaris, capital of the kingdom of Galoron. My father had died when I was ten.  

  "He had gotten ill from a wasting disease, and our family was too poor to purchase medicine. Three years later, my mother was struck with same sickness. That was the main reason I had wanted to learn at the College of Magic. To cure her.  

  "When Raviscor and I first met, we took to each other immediately. Both of us were star pupils, both of us had experienced loss, and both of us had no other friends at the school. Soon, we began spending all of our spare time together, talking about magic, debating politics, and sharing our visions of what the world could be. Both of us believed that the world was fundamentally flawed, and that people of certain birth were given more power than others. Both of us thought that everyone should be born equal to one another, and their actions should determine their place in the world, not who their parents were. Both of us also thought that together we could correct this flawed system, a system that even the gods seemed to accept without a second glance.

  "Over the summer, after my first year at the College of Magic was over, I finally got a chance to go home. But while the money I before school had made had been able to support my mother for the school year, her illness had taken a devastating toll, leaving her bedridden. I knew that she would die within days, just like my father, unless I was able to save her. In desperation, I went to the College of Magic and pleaded with Raviscor (who was a paladin) to help her, to do anything. Raviscor told me that he was unsure whether he could save her, but that he would still try. But it was too late. The disease had progressed too far, and my mother was only barely holding on to life. She died within days.

  "In my anger, I took my fury out on Raviscor, using my magic to literally throw him out of the door to my house, and screaming that it was Raviscor’s fault that my mother was dead, not my own. Over the next few weeks, I came to realize that it was my fault that I hadn’t asked about my mother’s health during the school year, and that I had only himself to blame for antagonizing my best friend and for my mother’s death. I believed that I had betrayed Raviscor, and I decided that I would not attend the College of Magic the next year. However, Raviscor came to me just before the start of the next term and convinced me to attend.

  "Throughout our next three years at the College of Magic, our powers grew ever stronger, and our friendship grew stronger too. But after those three years, disaster struck. Our perfect world was shattered when demons from the Abyss began an invasion, pitting the entire world against the terrible fiends. Raviscor and I both fought for Galoron, slaying demons side by side. However, many of the elves and dwarves chose to retreat to their sacred strongholds in an attempt to wait out the war, and those that didn’t died at the demon’s hands. It looked like the world had no hope left. But while the mortals waged a hopeless war, the gods knew what needed to be done. They sacrificed themselves, giving up their life energy to banish the demons to the Abyss and trap them there forevermore. That was the beginning of my downfall.

  "After the war, we argued about what could be done to save the world. Without gods, the world itself would fade until it dissolved into a sea of chaos and anarchy. We both agreed that the world had to be saved, but we disagreed on how to do it. He believed that we should find a way to bring back to old gods. I, on the other hand, thought that we should become gods ourselves, thus restoring balance to the world, while also setting right the flaws of our society. We eventually agreed to search to see if either one was truly possible, before reuniting in Menaris at the year's end.

  "But I was foolish, foolish enough to think that by becoming a god I would make him see that I had been right all along. So I gathered three other mages who had attended the College of Magic with me, and together we used terrible magic to become immortal, untouched by time. Then, we took control of the scattered fractions of the kingdom of Galoron, and instated ourselves at joint kings. When Raviscor returned, I met him at the top of the tallest tower in Menaris. He told me that I had betrayed him, that I was not the man who he had loved. Then he left, and unbeknownst to me, began building a rebellion to defeat me and restore Galoron to what it once was.

  "He called this rebellion the New Dawn. When we had spoken of what a world free of poverty, discrimination, and pain, we had called it a "new dawn". No others knew of this. So from that day on, we were lovers, friends, and companions no longer. We were enemies, and have been every day since. And now, I am close to discovering the secrets I need to ascend to godhood. And when I do, that will be the end of my heart, and of all I love."

 (I meant like where they grew up, what happened to their family, what world they're from, and what they did before coming to the tavern. It doesn't have to be as long as mine, nor does it have to be in the form of a story.) 

*Man, I cannot get over how well written that is. Well done, Thauraeln!*

*From what I have so far for Iravias, his home city was destroyed by an angry Storm Giantess, who killed everyone except, for some reason, Iravias. She took Iravias as her Follower, and kind of an adopted son. He lived at the bottom of the ocean for several years, before eventually being released into the wider world. Fathomlock/Rune Knight multiclass.*

 (Thank you! Iravias' backstory is unique and interesting as well! I look forward to seeing you flesh it out!)

*Yeah, me too. I'm particularly interested in RPing his relationship with Fealwyrn (his Patron). Sure, she was basically his second mother, but she also destroyed his entire life, sooo...*

See, this is going to be weird because Kane used to be a warlock of the Fiend, Bael. But the guys in the tavern preformed an exorcism and banished Bale form his body because Bael treated him like crap. Now he still has magic but it’s his own now. 

*Didn't we yell at Bael a bunch, which definitely made it easier for the exorcism.*

(And Xhandras only lived in a world with gods for 19 years, which is also kind of strange. Most of his life took place in a world without divine magic (save the occasional fueled by their own ideals).)

 (That seems like a foolproof solution. Ah, well, Xhandras has dealt with his share of demons as well (though not devils).)

 (Yeah, that would be fun to roleplay. It makes your character really interesting, IMO. The patron has a cool name, too.) 

(Would you guys mind if I took some dialogue between Xhandras and other characters to use for something I'm writing?)

 Do you own XtEG? You could maybe switch over to Celestial, with Yondalla as your patron now that Bael is gone. Also, we need a PC with any form of a healing ability lol

*No problem... I may or may not be involved in a role-play group where we plan on compiling all of our posts into a book....
