Well, I don't have to worry.  I'm starting out with one of the core classes, but I probably won't get my character writeup to you until next week. |

-Story-
His grandfather a Hound Archon and his father a half-celestial he knew nothing about except what little his mother told him. He grew up with only a mother who is the only female teacher within the Paladins of Lathlander school on the outskirts of Silverymoon. She used to be an adventurer but is now retired and enjoys teaching young females how to be a paladin of Lathlander. She approves of Harrolds worship of Nobanion knowing it fits his personality but is somewhat disappointed he did not become a paladin. Harrold grew up in the school and learned how to read and write and the very basics of fighting. Upon turning 20 he joined the Knights in Silver and has been serving Silverymoon this way for a year now. All his superiors see great promise in him.
-character description-
Harrold is about medium height but very well built and muscled making him look a bit stocky. He has very large hands but short fingers. His skin is very tanned from the long days on watch guard and scouting. His face looks doggish but regal giving away his celestial heritage. His nose is almost flat and his jaw protrudes out. He has very short but thick brown hair on his head and also covering his arms, legs, and chest almost like a thin coat of fur. His forehead is sloped and his ears are high on his head and pointed like a dogs. His eyes are a engaging pale blue and are hard to look away from after looking into them. Harrold looks somewhat menacing from afar but really he is very gentle and polite and above all he is loyal; to his friends, his family, his home, and his patron deity Nobanion. He is somewhat shy around large groups of people and big cities, preferring his days on scouting patrol to gate guard. He hates liars and will never trust someone who has lied to him. |

One more thing I thought I might add being my character is using a Falchion, which is a large curved sword similar to a Scimitar but wielded with two hands, I decided to design a new scabbard since I wanted it to be worn over the back. It will have a snap strap over the blade and a thin but very sturdy and snug edge-sheath to cover the sharp edge of the sword. So to draw the blade you just push the hilt back hard enough to pop the snap the pull the Falchion up out of the bottom groove and forward over your shoulder. This doesn't effect the time it normally takes to arm oneself its just an idea I had Here is also a picture to give you a better idea of what it looks like and how it works. Forgive me of the shabby photo quality I had to use my webcam to take the picture of my drawing since my scanner seems to be on the fritz.

Sigh, anyone know how to post a picture on here?  |

Well met
Alas, we do not permit images to be included herein. 'twould encourage too much clutter within the library. However, should anyone wish to share such information, simply send the image to me and ill place it in a location within the library and provide the location for you to indicate in your post  |

Not a problem Alaundo I can understand why you wouldn't allow pictures I'm sure they would take up a lot of space! I'll take Shadowlords idea and just post the link since they are already uploaded on my website. If you like my drawings and want to add them to one of your fine galleries I would be honored though I know I'm no artist I do love to draw
And here is a new drawing of my character Harrold It took me a while but I finally got my scanner working so this one looks much cleaner

| Not to question your character, but aren't tieflings the race with horns? Aasimar generally don't have horns... |

Shadowlord, those aren't horns those are his ears! They are supposed to look doggish but yeah I can see how you got horns.
Arivia, how about Secrets of Silverymoon? |

I'll have my character sheet along shortly Arivia. I know it's still early, but I want you to take a look over it, in case it's not appropriate for your game.
