This is a fictional role play, in a Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) setting. Some things are hard to explain, in which I have provided links.
FULL
IC (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33490)
World:
Ϣelcome to the Underdark; a vast subterranean realm inhabited be drow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drow_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)) elves, aboleth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aboleth), ilithid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illithid), and other strange, sinister creatures. It is a place where few humans, -or any surface dwellers for that matter- go, and from where even fewer return. Here, the inhabitants never feel the sun’s rays, or cool breeze. Nor can they taste saltwater air. Such things are… nonexistent.
The Underdark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdark) is a vast system of underground tunnels, caverns, and waterways. It spans the length of entire continents, and it’s farthest reaches cannot be mapped. It fact… It’s so large, that it may as well be an entirely different world just below the surface of ours. Enormous cities, and great powers lurk, hidden here.
Indeed, the most prosperous races have built entire societies. The greatest of these are the Drow elves, the Svirfneblin, and the Ilithids (Also known as Mind Flayers).
Most of the creatures of the Underdark have evil, corrupted, and power-hungry hearts. Their veins are engrained with magic, hate, and lust. Such as the Drow, Deurgar (An unintelligent race of subterranean dwarves), and the Ilithids.
Some are more like the human race. A wild card. Each person in and of his own self. Such are the Sverfneblin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svirfneblin) (Deep gnomes), and the Pech (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pech_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)) (A race of small people who are ‘one’ with stone).
Others yet are purely predators. Bent on one goal: survival.
However, those who rise to the top are those that are most power hungry, and the most willing to sacrifice anything, and anyone to get their own ways. The primary races? Drow and Ilithid. Those are the two you’ll need to worry about. For the most part… Just the Drow.
Ȥlomynsnost is powerful Drow city. It spans two hundred and sixty eight miles. There are seventy seven 'houses' there. Each house is run, and controlled by a Matron Mother. Each house has a place. Like a pecking order. There is the top of the city, and the bottom. Often wars are waged between houses to climb the social ladder.
Females have more status in a Drow society than males.
In the city there is such a thing as 'night' and 'day'. However they are called 'noc' and 'den'. There is no such thing as natural light in the Underdark. Most creatures rely on sense of smell, and hearing. However, many, such as the Drow, have developed an ability know as 'Darkvision' which allows them to see when there is no light present.
In Zlomynsnost, a fungi grows along all the cavern walls that emits a purple-blue glow. In the den it glows, and in the noc it does not. Thus, the Drows' day and night.
The Drow worship Lloth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolth), the Spider Queen. Also know as the Lady of Chaos, and Demon Queen on the Abyss. The Drow dedicate their lives to her. And female Drow are given the 'privilege' of becoming her priestesses. The males are often given the privilege of beings sacrificed to her.
Plot:
ζife for you... isn't exactly pleasant. You're just a slave in the Drow city Zlomyslnost (http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/underdark.jpg). You're expected to follow every order. And every whim. You are not to question anyone. You are not to speak for yourself. As a matter of fact, you are not allowed to think for yourself. You are allowed to obey. That is your task, to obey. You're not even a Drow Elf. You may have been born there, or you may have been captured in a surface raid. You might be a deep gnome from the city only a few leagues away, you could be a human, or you might be a sylvan elf, stolen from the surface. Who, and what you are is almost endless. Either way, life is torturous. And there is no exaggeration there.
Ɍebellion... something that is far from your mind. After all, life is most painless when you act mindlessly. Simply acting out your part in the household you are slave to. But perhaps the time has come to end this mindlessness. After all, wouldn't you risk your life for a chance at freedom? Or, you can always pick the safe path... Click the back button. Doom yourself to forever being enslaved.
After all, the city is hundreds of miles wide. Thousands of Drow, equipped with magic, and skills that you can't imagine, are... Everywhere. The only exits are guarded by statues that are told to spring to life if anyone tries to enter, or exit. If you even whisper of escape, you'll be killed on the spot. Not to mention the dangers that await outside the city... Maybe it's worth it to continue a half-life of slavery...
Naw. You can join together, and escape. And perhaps, with some help from a... 'different' Drow, it won't be so impossible after all.

Name: Matron Mother Nenávidět E’Bezcitný
Gender: Female
Race: Drow
Age: 346
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images8-1.jpg
Place among the Drow: Matron Mother of the Seventh house, and priestess of Lolth.
Personality: Paranoid, insane, and hunger craving. She knows that her oldest daughter is bound to kill her soon. After all, she killed the previous Matron Mother off the house as well. Her daughter can only follow the example laid out for her.
Other: Slowly falling out of favor of the Spider Queen… Trying desperately to regain it. Maybe a few sacrifices will help.
Name: Melancholie E’Bezcitný
Gender: female
Race: Drow Elf
Age: 130
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images6-1.jpg
Personality: Uncaring, and cruel. She is snappy, and often dares to backtalk her Matron mother. Everyone in the E’Bezcitný house is aware that it’s only a short period of time before she kills her mother, and takes her place as Matron Mother. She is spiteful, and jealous of her youngest sister.
Name: Gealach’Bhioma Fírinne
Gender: Female
Race: Drow/Sylvan Elf
Age: 127
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images14.jpg http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images15.jpg
Naturally, Geala has white hair with very thin streaks of blond in them. Her skin is a light, shimmery grey color, and her eyes are hazel, flecked with silver. However, due to her position in Drow society, she powders her skin to be black, and dyes her hair starkly white. She disguises her eyes color using a potion that she was given by the Sylvan elf society where she was born. A drop each morning keeps them crimson.
Place among the Drow: Second daughter of the seventh house, priestess. (Note that she is invisible to Lolth, allowing her to hide the truth from the Drow. )
Personality: Geala has lost a lot of her former personality. Formerly she was bubbly, funny, shy, and caring. Since, she’s had to blend into Drow society. Taking on a new identity to benefit her people. She acts spitefully, maliciously, and cruelly. A constant scowl is imprinted on her features. She treats servants like dirt, even if they’re sylvan elves. Even if they’re ones who she knew.
Known family: Her mother is a surface elf. Her father was a Drow. Geala was conceived in a surface raid.
Her Drow family consist of three half-sisters (Melancholie, Dyka, and Hrichil), two half-brother (Both of whom she hardly know, since they’re so busy in their work as fighters), her father, who she secretly hates, and the Matron mother of the house, who she isn’t related to.
Other: Geala is a spy for the surface world. She lives as Verazda E’Bezcitny, second daughter of the seventh house. Her father is also father to the real Verazda, who she had to kill in order to seamlessly take her place. NOTE: As a slave, you know NOTHING of who she really is.
Name: Dyka E’Bezcitný
Gender: Female
Race: Drow
Age: 113
Appearance:http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images5.jpg
Personality: As the youngest daughter of the E ‘Bezcitný house, she is constantly striving to prove herself to her mother, and to Lolth. She is probably the most ambitious of the three daughters, and she has quickly brought herself into higher favor to her goddess than anyone else in the E’Bezcitný house.
Other: Lolth has found she so favors Dyka that she was gifted with a demon creature of the abyss. Which comes to her aid if ever she speaks it’s name, and that follows her every command.
Name: Jed E’Bezcitný
Gender: Male
Race: Drow
Age: 375
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images16.jpg
Place among the Drow: Patron of the Seventh house, fighter.
Personality: Cruel, and uncaring. He has a passion for surface raids, especially those that involve killing sylvan elves.
Other:
Name: Kouzlo E'Bezcitný
Gender: Male
Race: Drow
Age: 123
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images17.jpg
Personality: Almost as ambitious as his younger sister. He strives for perfection, and achieves it. Cruel, but respectful to his peers. Always obeys his Matron without thought. He’s one of the few Drow who can dare to offer his opinion to her without angering her. This is due to the way he’s mastered his words.
Other: Enjoys using live ingredients for potions and spells.
Name: Kreten E’Bezcitný
Gender: Male
Race: Drow
Age: 116
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/Dark-Elf-male-by-kerembeyit-61.jpg
Personality: Closing his mouth would be a good thing. He often says things out of turn, and being the youngest son of the house, he often regrets it. His sisters love punishing him on behalf of their mother.
Place among the Drow: Second son of the seventh house, fighter.
Other: Quite skilled, however, his mother and sisters have been considering sacrificing him to Lolth.
Also, happens to be dead now.
Name: Fille (Fil-lee)
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: Around 16, she doesn’t really count the time.
Appearance:
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/the_peasant_by_lanwu-d3hir0e.jpgFille has dark, curly, brown hair, and dark eyes that leave her as good as blind in the low light environment of the Underdark. She is extremely thin, and very weak, due to malnourishment as her only food is a barely palatable fungus which is fed to all slaves.
Because she’s so thin, and gangly, she’d often caught her stumbling over herself, which results in beatings. Her body is covered in scars from the bites of many whips. One thin, white scar runs across her jawline. Her hands are rough, and callused, and her unshod feet are likewise.
Personality: Tries her best to do exactly as she is told, she never speaks unless asked a direct question. She tries not to think for herself. This is hard to accomplish though… Her mind tends to be very active.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Hates life… Has tried once or twice to kill herself. She’s beginning to wonder if this ‘Surface’ that Jed E’Bezcitný speaks of might be a better world… Anywhere else has to be better.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Was born a slave to the Ilithids until she was about fourteen years old. After that she was part of a purchase of a thousand slaves who were brought to the Drow. From there she was bought in mass with twenty nine others, and became slave to the E’Bezcitný house.
Known family: Any blood relatives likely remain in the Ilithid city. She used to consider the Ilithid who she served to be family. Simply because he was all she knew. Since then she learned to despise Drow, who took her from the life where she was considerably content. And where the food was… palatable.
Other: Sometimes dreams of a place where light falls from an endless above… Started wondering if such a place could possible exist.
Name: Lere (Leh-ree)
Gender: Female
Race: Sylvan Elf
Age: 140
Appearance:
http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u550/Naraness/Grayeyes_zps451226d3.jpg
Personality: Lere is snappy, and to the point. She makes sure she's is clear, and this sometimes leads to her stating the obvious. She is a natural leader, strong willed and stubborn.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Long ago, she might have hated her life. Since, she's adopted a loyalty to the drow. It may not be a true loyalty, but she's taken her tasks to heart.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Long ago she was captured as a young girl. Since, she's tried her hardest to forget about her old life.
Known family: Only those she knew from the surface.
Other: Practically the 'head chef' in the kitchens. The drow don't need to oversee anything there, because she does that for them.
Name: Sindri
Gender: Female
Race: sylvan elf
Age: 54
Appearance: http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5846/eladrinwizjm5.jpg
Sindri is a small woman, mostly due to lack of proper food she never got the chance to grow much taller then 5'2", and her body has been kept deliberately weak to keep her from being a physical threat. Her skin is naturally somewhat dark but lack of sunlight and malnutrition have caused her to pale somewhat, her hair is a sort of golden-red shade, and her eyes are grey.
While her face is more or less blemish-free, the rest of her body has dozens of scars.
Personality: Very meek in her interactions with other people, after a long life of slavery she'd had more then enough lessons on keeping her mouth shut unless it's very, VERY important. She'll obey her orders with as little delay as her body allows, and having known nothing else she considers the E'Bezcitný family the closest thing she has to family (Even though she would like to see them all dead).
Thoughts on your current state of life: While she hates the life she's been forced to live, she's accepted the fact that it isn't likely to change anytime soon. Her thoughts of escape are few and far between, and she knows that either a chance will come along eventually or she'll die, so long as she doesn't anger her masters in the meantime she doesn't really care.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Either born into it or kidnapped as an infant, she's not quite sure which but Sindri's lived in the Underdark her entire life. When she was very young she developed a gift for magic, since she was a slave she was likely going to be sacrificed but Nenávidět E’Bezcitný purchased her and has since used Sindri as an a glorifyed jester. Kept shakled with some enchantment that keeps her magic weak, Sindri is often trotted out when high status guests are present and is made to use her magic for silly tricks and light shows. When not made to perform she's often one of Kouzlo's test subects when he experiments with poisons and the like.
Known family: none
Other: If she ever escapes the first thing she plans on doing is murdering Kouzlo.
Name: Barrl of Clan Glanrak "Lost-Hammer"
Gender:Male
Race: Shield Dwarf
Age: 136
Appearance: A sour-faced aging dwarf, his bare chest banded with surly knots of dense muscle. He swings a pick in each hand when he's about his work, digging tunnels and clearing blockages at the eager behest of his overseers. The heavy black outline of Moradin's Anvil is spans his stocky back, the blue-black tattoo split by gnarled lines of bright scar tissue. The brighter whorls of an electrical burn have claimed one of his eyes and left his root-like neck muscles striped with old burn.
http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs28/f/2008/104/a/1/Dwarf_Portrait___Coloured_by_cannibaljim.png
Personality: Barrl fought fiercely when he was taken, and has turned his tools on his captors many times since. When whips would no longer quell him, a gout of witchfire served. In the past several decades, he has resigned himself to peace, and spends his days perfecting "The Dig", the art by which he strikes the veins and weak points of the stone to open new tunnels in the living planet. He is like a savant chef in the work shafts, barking threats and comands at the kobold rockhaulers who clear the gravel and broken stone from his feet.
Thoughts on your current state of life: The Dig is Destiny. I will strike the earth as Moradin did in the First Age. It does not matter where or why we dig. We dig to receive the gifts of Toril, and one day my answer will be there, behind the stone door.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Barrl's clan bred riding lizards on the outskirts of Iltkazar for generations. His great-grandfather created the Hookfoot breed, a lizard especially adapted to traveling the near vertical chasms that span many layers of the Upperdark. He was captured driving a herd of them to market in his fiftieth century. He has spent a greater part of his life in slavery than he ever spent free, and that life is a faded memory.
Known family: Clan Glanrak, an old shield dwarf family of no particular wealth of influence. A folk-hero of the clan was said to have lost his holy hammer in the same battle that Corellon Larethian plucked the eye of Gruumsh.
ℭharacter Sheet:
Name:Yasparr Ti'aminate tu-Lahndia (Yasparr or Yasp for short)
Gender: Male
Race: Sylvan Elf
Age: 128 years (young adult)
http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb353/EvelynWillows/ElfforRPcopy.jpg
Appearance:[/U] Yasparr is about 5'11", and slim. He has green eyes and light copper hair, and a semi-haunted look about him.
Personality: He is quiet and observant. He rarely speaks unless spoken to, and has learned to be out of the way unless he is needed by his owners.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Yasparr does not remember much about his past. He did remember his name and sometimes hears a man yelling it desperately. Lately he has had flashes of memory; a sunny streak through trees, a clear brook in the morning light...and it is making him wonder if he might have had a life apart from this one.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Yasparr was training to be an Outrider, an elite group of Elven rangers who patrolled the outer borders of their kingdom. He was still considered a child when he was caught nearly thirty years ago. His father and the entire regiment were slaughtered, but Yasparr was young enough that the drow took him as a slave. He had suffered a head injury during the attack. That, plus the trauma of seeing his father slaughtered, gave Yasparr a blissful three decades of amnesia. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) he is starting to remember his past life.
Known family: The Ti'aminate tu-Lahndia above-ground
Other: Yasparr had been quite the acrobat in his youth. Prior to his capture he was cocky, brash, and self-confident. It helped that he was naturally skilled at whatever he tried to learn and was quite bright.
Name:[/B] Lilly
Gender: female
Race: Tiefling
Age: 21 (captured since 17)
http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/127/c/6/dena_by_lihony-d3fsq3q.jpg
Appearance: Lilly stands at exactly 6’2 which is average height for her race considering how much she looked like her demonic ancestors. Her skin is a lovely pale sky blue, even her eyes are seemingly this color the only difference is they have a glow to them that is ominous in nature. Her light navy hair is usually bulled back in some sort of pony tail. Her horns on the other hand protrude from her skull going up in height before growing towards the back. Her face is almost impish in nature with her pointed ears and delicate features. Her tail in length is about two and half feet long and normally adorned with a single ringlet that actually covers a small scar on her tail. Of course we cant forget the fact that instead of feet she has hooves.
Personality: Naturally Lilly is kind, sweet, and nurturing. This has been because as the years go on her mother gets weaker which is only natural for someone as they age but it seemed her mom’s immune system kept worsening with time. This usually meant Lilly had a key role in raising her little sister from the time she was born. After all with nearly ten years of age difference it seems normal. She would do anything for her family and was ready and willing to help out in any way shape or form. Not many people accept those of her race, family was one of the few things she had in life.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Just thinking about how her mother and sister are fairing without her brings pain to her heart. The thought that she couldn’t handle herself well enough to come back to them, if they are even still alive? Even if she did somehow manage to get out of this prison how would she manage to find her sibling.Sometimes it may be better to just stay in the dark then get your hopes up and find the worse.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Lilly was traveling learning useful skills that could help her support her sister when her mother finally passed. While staying the night on the outskirts of a foreign town (since most don’t accept her race so willingly) she was picked up and kidnapped. Of course others from inside the town were also taken, along with supplies since it was a Drow surface raid.
Known family: Her little sister (11) , older brother (29 and possibly dead), and mother
Other:
Name: Orryn sig Välderfaußt, of the clan Berrngetzt.
Gender: Male
Race: Mountain dwarf
Age: 197 (middle-aged for a dwarf of his lineage)
Appearance: Though he considers himself much more handsome than most, Orryn is actually quite average. Thick, dark and long hair well past the shoulders, blend into a beard and moustache of the same weight and texture. While he used to take great pride in keeping them well-combed and braided, he has found that in captivity, a certain degree of unkemptness helps avoid the attention of his captors, and so leaves them wild, wooly, and dust-caked. *Unlike most of his brethren, Orryn has managed to keep relatively trim, finding the rotund physique to be hazardous to navigating the tight confines of the deep caverns. *He otherwise exhibits the iron-corded musculature typical of the career miner.*
Personality: Normally quite outgoing, in the reserved manner dwarves are often accused of, he is willing to work hard alongside those who will do so also. He has very little tolerance for slackers or for those who try to lighten their own load by silver-talking the boss. *Orryn has a deeply musical soul, and often hums or chants songs of dwarven lore or historical marches when deep in work. His knowledge of such songs is remarkably rich. This talent, of course, rarely comes forth in his present environs, for survivability, a situation he finds most irritable. *He enjoys heavy-bodied sweet ales and barley wines, and a good smoke now and again. Such luxuries, as with the songs he so deeply loves, are now nearly forgotten pleasures.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Stay low and invisible; work hard and give the enemy no legitimate reason to single him out for punishment; watch and learn as much as possible about the enemy; and wait for rescue or a chance to make a good clean escape.
How you became a slave to the Drow: *Orryn was attached to a deep exploration mining crew, called the Järgenkrempf. The nearest common translation would be Seekers of the Roots. They were charged with moving well ahead of the mining crews, scouting for ore veins worth exploring, clearing obstacles (both animal and mineral) and always seeking out signs of other deep civilizations or of what they referred to as "root fissures," areas of such geological instability that mining them could cause catastrophic collapses, sometimes extending hundreds of miles from their origin. *During one such mission, Orryn and his crew of six Järgenkrempf became trapped behind a minor cave-in, caused by their disturbance of a nest of deep-burrowing rock beetles. Seeking a way around the obstruction, Orryn's crew discovered a Drow city. Though they knew they were in mortal danger, and had to return to warn their brethren, it was only a few hours before they were discovered, surrounded, and captured by Drow patrols. They were split up immediately, taken away to separate work crews for all Orryn knew. He never saw another of his team from that day on. It has now been about ten months since his capture. With rescue now long having passed by as a reasonable expectation, escape is the only option.
Known family: Plenty of family and loyal friends above. He has a wife, Vasheyn, and two young adult sons, Peyther and Jykko. *Peyther is courting a young lady, and was planning on asking her father for her hand at the time of Orryn's disappearance. At this point, given the passage of so much time, Orryn is firmly convinced that he and his crew are believed by their loved ones to be dead and gone.*
Other: Orryn is a proud worker, a fair fighter, and an incredible observer. Very little is seen or heard and not remembered. He is even picking up some of the filthy Drow language, though he takes great care to reveal this to no one. He is a skilled miner, a well-renowned underground navigator, and a fine singer.*
Name: Zair Althidon
Gender: Male
Race: Sylvan Elf
Age: 137
Appearance: Zair is covered in rippled lean muscles. All manner of scars adorn his body. Though he looks young, his bright blue eyes show deep wisdom. His hair hangs past his strong shoulders reflecting the light around him with it's silver strands. His skin is ghost pale and stands at 5'10". A little taller them most Elves. His hands calloused and moves with a grace of a very skilled warrior. For the most part his expression is grim. A very handsome Elf, though at times he wishes he was not. For he catches the eye of many Drow, especially the Females.
Personality: A fierce warrior and Champion of Corellon Larethian the Elves main god. He is soft spoken and passive. When left alone with no duties he meditates and trains his body, going over his fighting routine when he can get away with it.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Zair has seen many things. Once an adventurer then a Champion of Corellon Larethian. In his young Elf life he has seen countless enemies and has even slain a handful of Drow, then a few more when they took him in the night. He believes this a challenge from his God. That he is here for a reason.
How you became a slave to the Drow: As a Champion of Corellon Larethian he was required to protect holy temples. Three months ago, one night on a daily patrol around the city temple he spotted an intruder in the shadows. He took out his double-sided swords (long blades on ether end of the handle. He wielded one in each hand.) and shouted out, "Who goes there?" In his native tong. Before he could even blink Drow melded out of the shadows. They all came at him at once. Zair killed five of them before there poison bolts penetrated his armor and knocked him unconscious.
Known family: The Althidon family are of royal blood and have serves there god Corellon Larethian for countless generations.
Name: Koin
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Orc
Age: 25
Appearance: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/Asylum-Rhapsody/half-orc.jpghttp://www.wesschneider.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/half-orc-300x300.png
6’4” Tall and weights around 225.
He was slimmer and less muscular when he was first brought to the underdark, but years of fighting has made him buffer and gave him a few interesting scars. Koin’s face was more pleasant to look at, not handsome by elf standards but not ugly is now bruised. His hair and beard running wild and long from lack of care, eyes glossed over as if seeing distant sights. Over all Koin looks like a wild animal trapped and angry at everything around him, almost saddening to anyone but the cruel Drow elves.
Personality: Koin behaves brutishly responding to almost anything with violence. So it’s safe to say he is aggressive.
(After being freed from where ever the drow was keeping him, probably chained up as well, he’ll be quick to anger still dull but reserved and tired. He’ll slowly digress back from a beast and into something closer to what he was before, a cleaver witty agile thief but still be tainted by the rage he was controlled by for years. So he’ll never be quite back to normal.)
Thoughts on your current state of life: “Rage, kill, blood” Is all Koin thinks of now, his captors have provoked him into raging so many times that he is mentally exhausted, all he thinks of is killing whoever he is sent after.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Before being captured Koin was a witty and agile rogue/thief after running from his tribe he took to stealing to survive. Him being part Orc made it harder for him but he learned faster because of it. He named himself Koin after the gold coins he’d take from purses. He used extra money to learn, eventually buying books and reading.
The Drow nabbed him in a dwarven city he traveled too for thieving reasons, thinking a “Orc” would be a fun toy for them. Using his wits he played the dumb Half-Orc role thinking he could work his way out of slavery if they thought all he had was a box of rocks for brains. 5 years later they reduced him to a brain dead rage monster.
Known family: Father was an orc in some tribal clan; he grew up there until becoming disgusted and running away at a young age. Mother was a human, probably dead.
Other: With a ton of rest he should be able to at least function without being enraged, the longer he goes without raging the more he returns to his original self.
Name: (Get creative! Especially if you're an elf, gnome, dwarf, etc.) Kyran
Gender: Male
Race:(No evil races please) Human
Age: 26
Appearance: Kyron stands at an uncomfortable-for-living-underground height of 6'2''. He is also quite muscular, with a broad chest and broad shoulders. He often stands hunched over, as if trying to take up less space. He has dark hair and piercing blue eyes. On the surface, he would have been considered a very attractive male. He sometimes notices others, especially females, looking at him in an intense and odd way, but he has no idea why.
Personality: (May not be very developed if you were born into slavery) Since he was born into slavery, there isn't really much to Kyran. He has a gentle personality, which seems to be in direct contrast with his powerful body frame. He will sometimes make attempts to help the weaker slaves. Sometimes he is beaten for this; sometimes he isn't. He is very quiet and mostly keeps to himself. He is uneducated. His eyes show little more than an animal's eyes. He is like a large and gentle dog who has been beaten repeatedly. However, sometimes he snaps. He will completely lose himself and, due to his size and strength, can cause quite a bit of destruction before he is restrained.
Thoughts on your current state of life: This is all Kyran knows. He just accepts his life blindly. He fears his masters. He is also shy of his fellow slaves, although a part of him craves some form of companionship.
How you became a slave to the Drow: He was born into slavery.
Name: Zar Frostscale
Gender: Male
Race: Dragonborn
Age: 26
Appearance: http://images.community.wizards.com/community.wizards.com/user/human_folly/large/2889d6a7c89b0247168421c932e16837.png?v=252900
This is Rimas is his old war gear, sadly all of it was taken from him on the day of enslavement. Standing at 5'11 and weighing in at 270 pounds of draconic muscle, this body was built for fighting, and that's just what he'll do. With crystal blue eyes, Rimas is a oddity among his kind, with snow white scales instead of the usual reds or brownish colors. Burned into his throat is rune that binds his dragons breath within him. The ruin can be deactivated by a mage, or priestess of minor power, sadly Zar is neither.
Personality: Honor in a land where there is none. Zar is one to reserve judgment, never fully letting his plans go, he likes to keep his thought and ideas to himself until absolutely necessary.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Battle lust is the only thing keeping Zar going at the moment, because that is the only thing keeping him alive. The drow kidnapped him to fight for there amusement, and to protect there precious priestess. Though he could have a civil conversation with anyone down here that spoke the same language as him, he chooses to speak more with violence, or not to act or speak at all.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Zar was a typical Dragonborn adventure traveling the world, making his fortune from that of other monsters, and in his favorite place in the world... the pits. A fighter body and soul, sadly this was the reason the drow captured him. One night at the pits Zar had won his fight for the night, and had a few drinks at the arenas tavern. Little did he know, the drinks he was being brought were laced with drow sleeping poison. Before he knew what was happening, a blanket of darkness had filled the tavern, 6 people were killed, and one large white dragonborn disappeared.
Known family: None.

This is a fictional role play, in a Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) setting. Some things are hard to explain, in which I have provided links.
FULL
IC (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33490)
World:
Ϣelcome to the Underdark; a vast subterranean realm inhabited be drow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drow_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)) elves, aboleth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aboleth), ilithid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illithid), and other strange, sinister creatures. It is a place where few humans, -or any surface dwellers for that matter- go, and from where even fewer return. Here, the inhabitants never feel the sun’s rays, or cool breeze. Nor can they taste saltwater air. Such things are… nonexistent.
The Underdark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdark) is a vast system of underground tunnels, caverns, and waterways. It spans the length of entire continents, and it’s farthest reaches cannot be mapped. It fact… It’s so large, that it may as well be an entirely different world just below the surface of ours. Enormous cities, and great powers lurk, hidden here.
Indeed, the most prosperous races have built entire societies. The greatest of these are the Drow elves, the Svirfneblin, and the Ilithids (Also known as Mind Flayers).
Most of the creatures of the Underdark have evil, corrupted, and power-hungry hearts. Their veins are engrained with magic, hate, and lust. Such as the Drow, Deurgar (An unintelligent race of subterranean dwarves), and the Ilithids.
Some are more like the human race. A wild card. Each person in and of his own self. Such are the Sverfneblin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svirfneblin) (Deep gnomes), and the Pech (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pech_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)) (A race of small people who are ‘one’ with stone).
Others yet are purely predators. Bent on one goal: survival.
However, those who rise to the top are those that are most power hungry, and the most willing to sacrifice anything, and anyone to get their own ways. The primary races? Drow and Ilithid. Those are the two you’ll need to worry about. For the most part… Just the Drow.
Ȥlomynsnost is powerful Drow city. It spans two hundred and sixty eight miles. There are seventy seven 'houses' there. Each house is run, and controlled by a Matron Mother. Each house has a place. Like a pecking order. There is the top of the city, and the bottom. Often wars are waged between houses to climb the social ladder.
Females have more status in a Drow society than males.
In the city there is such a thing as 'night' and 'day'. However they are called 'noc' and 'den'. There is no such thing as natural light in the Underdark. Most creatures rely on sense of smell, and hearing. However, many, such as the Drow, have developed an ability know as 'Darkvision' which allows them to see when there is no light present.
In Zlomynsnost, a fungi grows along all the cavern walls that emits a purple-blue glow. In the den it glows, and in the noc it does not. Thus, the Drows' day and night.
The Drow worship Lloth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolth), the Spider Queen. Also know as the Lady of Chaos, and Demon Queen on the Abyss. The Drow dedicate their lives to her. And female Drow are given the 'privilege' of becoming her priestesses. The males are often given the privilege of beings sacrificed to her.
Plot:
ζife for you... isn't exactly pleasant. You're just a slave in the Drow city Zlomyslnost (http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/underdark.jpg). You're expected to follow every order. And every whim. You are not to question anyone. You are not to speak for yourself. As a matter of fact, you are not allowed to think for yourself. You are allowed to obey. That is your task, to obey. You're not even a Drow Elf. You may have been born there, or you may have been captured in a surface raid. You might be a deep gnome from the city only a few leagues away, you could be a human, or you might be a sylvan elf, stolen from the surface. Who, and what you are is almost endless. Either way, life is torturous. And there is no exaggeration there.
Ɍebellion... something that is far from your mind. After all, life is most painless when you act mindlessly. Simply acting out your part in the household you are slave to. But perhaps the time has come to end this mindlessness. After all, wouldn't you risk your life for a chance at freedom? Or, you can always pick the safe path... Click the back button. Doom yourself to forever being enslaved.
After all, the city is hundreds of miles wide. Thousands of Drow, equipped with magic, and skills that you can't imagine, are... Everywhere. The only exits are guarded by statues that are told to spring to life if anyone tries to enter, or exit. If you even whisper of escape, you'll be killed on the spot. Not to mention the dangers that await outside the city... Maybe it's worth it to continue a half-life of slavery...
Naw. You can join together, and escape. And perhaps, with some help from a... 'different' Drow, it won't be so impossible after all.

Name: Matron Mother Nenávidět E’Bezcitný
Gender: Female
Race: Drow
Age: 346
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images8-1.jpg
Place among the Drow: Matron Mother of the Seventh house, and priestess of Lolth.
Personality: Paranoid, insane, and hunger craving. She knows that her oldest daughter is bound to kill her soon. After all, she killed the previous Matron Mother off the house as well. Her daughter can only follow the example laid out for her.
Other: Slowly falling out of favor of the Spider Queen… Trying desperately to regain it. Maybe a few sacrifices will help.
Name: Melancholie E’Bezcitný
Gender: female
Race: Drow Elf
Age: 130
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images6-1.jpg
Personality: Uncaring, and cruel. She is snappy, and often dares to backtalk her Matron mother. Everyone in the E’Bezcitný house is aware that it’s only a short period of time before she kills her mother, and takes her place as Matron Mother. She is spiteful, and jealous of her youngest sister.
Name: Gealach’Bhioma Fírinne
Gender: Female
Race: Drow/Sylvan Elf
Age: 127
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images14.jpg http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images15.jpg
Naturally, Geala has white hair with very thin streaks of blond in them. Her skin is a light, shimmery grey color, and her eyes are hazel, flecked with silver. However, due to her position in Drow society, she powders her skin to be black, and dyes her hair starkly white. She disguises her eyes color using a potion that she was given by the Sylvan elf society where she was born. A drop each morning keeps them crimson.
Place among the Drow: Second daughter of the seventh house, priestess. (Note that she is invisible to Lolth, allowing her to hide the truth from the Drow. )
Personality: Geala has lost a lot of her former personality. Formerly she was bubbly, funny, shy, and caring. Since, she’s had to blend into Drow society. Taking on a new identity to benefit her people. She acts spitefully, maliciously, and cruelly. A constant scowl is imprinted on her features. She treats servants like dirt, even if they’re sylvan elves. Even if they’re ones who she knew.
Known family: Her mother is a surface elf. Her father was a Drow. Geala was conceived in a surface raid.
Her Drow family consist of three half-sisters (Melancholie, Dyka, and Hrichil), two half-brother (Both of whom she hardly know, since they’re so busy in their work as fighters), her father, who she secretly hates, and the Matron mother of the house, who she isn’t related to.
Other: Geala is a spy for the surface world. She lives as Verazda E’Bezcitny, second daughter of the seventh house. Her father is also father to the real Verazda, who she had to kill in order to seamlessly take her place. NOTE: As a slave, you know NOTHING of who she really is.
Name: Dyka E’Bezcitný
Gender: Female
Race: Drow
Age: 113
Appearance:http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images5.jpg
Personality: As the youngest daughter of the E ‘Bezcitný house, she is constantly striving to prove herself to her mother, and to Lolth. She is probably the most ambitious of the three daughters, and she has quickly brought herself into higher favor to her goddess than anyone else in the E’Bezcitný house.
Other: Lolth has found she so favors Dyka that she was gifted with a demon creature of the abyss. Which comes to her aid if ever she speaks it’s name, and that follows her every command.
Name: Jed E’Bezcitný
Gender: Male
Race: Drow
Age: 375
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images16.jpg
Place among the Drow: Patron of the Seventh house, fighter.
Personality: Cruel, and uncaring. He has a passion for surface raids, especially those that involve killing sylvan elves.
Other:
Name: Kouzlo E'Bezcitný
Gender: Male
Race: Drow
Age: 123
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/images17.jpg
Personality: Almost as ambitious as his younger sister. He strives for perfection, and achieves it. Cruel, but respectful to his peers. Always obeys his Matron without thought. He’s one of the few Drow who can dare to offer his opinion to her without angering her. This is due to the way he’s mastered his words.
Other: Enjoys using live ingredients for potions and spells.
Name: Kreten E’Bezcitný
Gender: Male
Race: Drow
Age: 116
Appearance: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/Dark-Elf-male-by-kerembeyit-61.jpg
Personality: Closing his mouth would be a good thing. He often says things out of turn, and being the youngest son of the house, he often regrets it. His sisters love punishing him on behalf of their mother.
Place among the Drow: Second son of the seventh house, fighter.
Other: Quite skilled, however, his mother and sisters have been considering sacrificing him to Lolth.
Also, happens to be dead now.
Name: Fille (Fil-lee)
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: Around 16, she doesn’t really count the time.
Appearance:
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll121/rose_t_bishop/the_peasant_by_lanwu-d3hir0e.jpgFille has dark, curly, brown hair, and dark eyes that leave her as good as blind in the low light environment of the Underdark. She is extremely thin, and very weak, due to malnourishment as her only food is a barely palatable fungus which is fed to all slaves.
Because she’s so thin, and gangly, she’d often caught her stumbling over herself, which results in beatings. Her body is covered in scars from the bites of many whips. One thin, white scar runs across her jawline. Her hands are rough, and callused, and her unshod feet are likewise.
Personality: Tries her best to do exactly as she is told, she never speaks unless asked a direct question. She tries not to think for herself. This is hard to accomplish though… Her mind tends to be very active.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Hates life… Has tried once or twice to kill herself. She’s beginning to wonder if this ‘Surface’ that Jed E’Bezcitný speaks of might be a better world… Anywhere else has to be better.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Was born a slave to the Ilithids until she was about fourteen years old. After that she was part of a purchase of a thousand slaves who were brought to the Drow. From there she was bought in mass with twenty nine others, and became slave to the E’Bezcitný house.
Known family: Any blood relatives likely remain in the Ilithid city. She used to consider the Ilithid who she served to be family. Simply because he was all she knew. Since then she learned to despise Drow, who took her from the life where she was considerably content. And where the food was… palatable.
Other: Sometimes dreams of a place where light falls from an endless above… Started wondering if such a place could possible exist.
Name: Lere (Leh-ree)
Gender: Female
Race: Sylvan Elf
Age: 140
Appearance:
http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u550/Naraness/Grayeyes_zps451226d3.jpg
Personality: Lere is snappy, and to the point. She makes sure she's is clear, and this sometimes leads to her stating the obvious. She is a natural leader, strong willed and stubborn.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Long ago, she might have hated her life. Since, she's adopted a loyalty to the drow. It may not be a true loyalty, but she's taken her tasks to heart.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Long ago she was captured as a young girl. Since, she's tried her hardest to forget about her old life.
Known family: Only those she knew from the surface.
Other: Practically the 'head chef' in the kitchens. The drow don't need to oversee anything there, because she does that for them.
Name: Sindri
Gender: Female
Race: sylvan elf
Age: 54
Appearance: http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5846/eladrinwizjm5.jpg
Sindri is a small woman, mostly due to lack of proper food she never got the chance to grow much taller then 5'2", and her body has been kept deliberately weak to keep her from being a physical threat. Her skin is naturally somewhat dark but lack of sunlight and malnutrition have caused her to pale somewhat, her hair is a sort of golden-red shade, and her eyes are grey.
While her face is more or less blemish-free, the rest of her body has dozens of scars.
Personality: Very meek in her interactions with other people, after a long life of slavery she'd had more then enough lessons on keeping her mouth shut unless it's very, VERY important. She'll obey her orders with as little delay as her body allows, and having known nothing else she considers the E'Bezcitný family the closest thing she has to family (Even though she would like to see them all dead).
Thoughts on your current state of life: While she hates the life she's been forced to live, she's accepted the fact that it isn't likely to change anytime soon. Her thoughts of escape are few and far between, and she knows that either a chance will come along eventually or she'll die, so long as she doesn't anger her masters in the meantime she doesn't really care.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Either born into it or kidnapped as an infant, she's not quite sure which but Sindri's lived in the Underdark her entire life. When she was very young she developed a gift for magic, since she was a slave she was likely going to be sacrificed but Nenávidět E’Bezcitný purchased her and has since used Sindri as an a glorifyed jester. Kept shakled with some enchantment that keeps her magic weak, Sindri is often trotted out when high status guests are present and is made to use her magic for silly tricks and light shows. When not made to perform she's often one of Kouzlo's test subects when he experiments with poisons and the like.
Known family: none
Other: If she ever escapes the first thing she plans on doing is murdering Kouzlo.
Name: Barrl of Clan Glanrak "Lost-Hammer"
Gender:Male
Race: Shield Dwarf
Age: 136
Appearance: A sour-faced aging dwarf, his bare chest banded with surly knots of dense muscle. He swings a pick in each hand when he's about his work, digging tunnels and clearing blockages at the eager behest of his overseers. The heavy black outline of Moradin's Anvil is spans his stocky back, the blue-black tattoo split by gnarled lines of bright scar tissue. The brighter whorls of an electrical burn have claimed one of his eyes and left his root-like neck muscles striped with old burn.
http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs28/f/2008/104/a/1/Dwarf_Portrait___Coloured_by_cannibaljim.png
Personality: Barrl fought fiercely when he was taken, and has turned his tools on his captors many times since. When whips would no longer quell him, a gout of witchfire served. In the past several decades, he has resigned himself to peace, and spends his days perfecting "The Dig", the art by which he strikes the veins and weak points of the stone to open new tunnels in the living planet. He is like a savant chef in the work shafts, barking threats and comands at the kobold rockhaulers who clear the gravel and broken stone from his feet.
Thoughts on your current state of life: The Dig is Destiny. I will strike the earth as Moradin did in the First Age. It does not matter where or why we dig. We dig to receive the gifts of Toril, and one day my answer will be there, behind the stone door.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Barrl's clan bred riding lizards on the outskirts of Iltkazar for generations. His great-grandfather created the Hookfoot breed, a lizard especially adapted to traveling the near vertical chasms that span many layers of the Upperdark. He was captured driving a herd of them to market in his fiftieth century. He has spent a greater part of his life in slavery than he ever spent free, and that life is a faded memory.
Known family: Clan Glanrak, an old shield dwarf family of no particular wealth of influence. A folk-hero of the clan was said to have lost his holy hammer in the same battle that Corellon Larethian plucked the eye of Gruumsh.
ℭharacter Sheet:
Name:Yasparr Ti'aminate tu-Lahndia (Yasparr or Yasp for short)
Gender: Male
Race: Sylvan Elf
Age: 128 years (young adult)
http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb353/EvelynWillows/ElfforRPcopy.jpg
Appearance:[/U] Yasparr is about 5'11", and slim. He has green eyes and light copper hair, and a semi-haunted look about him.
Personality: He is quiet and observant. He rarely speaks unless spoken to, and has learned to be out of the way unless he is needed by his owners.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Yasparr does not remember much about his past. He did remember his name and sometimes hears a man yelling it desperately. Lately he has had flashes of memory; a sunny streak through trees, a clear brook in the morning light...and it is making him wonder if he might have had a life apart from this one.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Yasparr was training to be an Outrider, an elite group of Elven rangers who patrolled the outer borders of their kingdom. He was still considered a child when he was caught nearly thirty years ago. His father and the entire regiment were slaughtered, but Yasparr was young enough that the drow took him as a slave. He had suffered a head injury during the attack. That, plus the trauma of seeing his father slaughtered, gave Yasparr a blissful three decades of amnesia. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) he is starting to remember his past life.
Known family: The Ti'aminate tu-Lahndia above-ground
Other: Yasparr had been quite the acrobat in his youth. Prior to his capture he was cocky, brash, and self-confident. It helped that he was naturally skilled at whatever he tried to learn and was quite bright.
Name:[/B] Lilly
Gender: female
Race: Tiefling
Age: 21 (captured since 17)
http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/127/c/6/dena_by_lihony-d3fsq3q.jpg
Appearance: Lilly stands at exactly 6’2 which is average height for her race considering how much she looked like her demonic ancestors. Her skin is a lovely pale sky blue, even her eyes are seemingly this color the only difference is they have a glow to them that is ominous in nature. Her light navy hair is usually bulled back in some sort of pony tail. Her horns on the other hand protrude from her skull going up in height before growing towards the back. Her face is almost impish in nature with her pointed ears and delicate features. Her tail in length is about two and half feet long and normally adorned with a single ringlet that actually covers a small scar on her tail. Of course we cant forget the fact that instead of feet she has hooves.
Personality: Naturally Lilly is kind, sweet, and nurturing. This has been because as the years go on her mother gets weaker which is only natural for someone as they age but it seemed her mom’s immune system kept worsening with time. This usually meant Lilly had a key role in raising her little sister from the time she was born. After all with nearly ten years of age difference it seems normal. She would do anything for her family and was ready and willing to help out in any way shape or form. Not many people accept those of her race, family was one of the few things she had in life.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Just thinking about how her mother and sister are fairing without her brings pain to her heart. The thought that she couldn’t handle herself well enough to come back to them, if they are even still alive? Even if she did somehow manage to get out of this prison how would she manage to find her sibling.Sometimes it may be better to just stay in the dark then get your hopes up and find the worse.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Lilly was traveling learning useful skills that could help her support her sister when her mother finally passed. While staying the night on the outskirts of a foreign town (since most don’t accept her race so willingly) she was picked up and kidnapped. Of course others from inside the town were also taken, along with supplies since it was a Drow surface raid.
Known family: Her little sister (11) , older brother (29 and possibly dead), and mother
Other:
Name: Orryn sig Välderfaußt, of the clan Berrngetzt.
Gender: Male
Race: Mountain dwarf
Age: 197 (middle-aged for a dwarf of his lineage)
Appearance: Though he considers himself much more handsome than most, Orryn is actually quite average. Thick, dark and long hair well past the shoulders, blend into a beard and moustache of the same weight and texture. While he used to take great pride in keeping them well-combed and braided, he has found that in captivity, a certain degree of unkemptness helps avoid the attention of his captors, and so leaves them wild, wooly, and dust-caked. *Unlike most of his brethren, Orryn has managed to keep relatively trim, finding the rotund physique to be hazardous to navigating the tight confines of the deep caverns. *He otherwise exhibits the iron-corded musculature typical of the career miner.*
Personality: Normally quite outgoing, in the reserved manner dwarves are often accused of, he is willing to work hard alongside those who will do so also. He has very little tolerance for slackers or for those who try to lighten their own load by silver-talking the boss. *Orryn has a deeply musical soul, and often hums or chants songs of dwarven lore or historical marches when deep in work. His knowledge of such songs is remarkably rich. This talent, of course, rarely comes forth in his present environs, for survivability, a situation he finds most irritable. *He enjoys heavy-bodied sweet ales and barley wines, and a good smoke now and again. Such luxuries, as with the songs he so deeply loves, are now nearly forgotten pleasures.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Stay low and invisible; work hard and give the enemy no legitimate reason to single him out for punishment; watch and learn as much as possible about the enemy; and wait for rescue or a chance to make a good clean escape.
How you became a slave to the Drow: *Orryn was attached to a deep exploration mining crew, called the Järgenkrempf. The nearest common translation would be Seekers of the Roots. They were charged with moving well ahead of the mining crews, scouting for ore veins worth exploring, clearing obstacles (both animal and mineral) and always seeking out signs of other deep civilizations or of what they referred to as "root fissures," areas of such geological instability that mining them could cause catastrophic collapses, sometimes extending hundreds of miles from their origin. *During one such mission, Orryn and his crew of six Järgenkrempf became trapped behind a minor cave-in, caused by their disturbance of a nest of deep-burrowing rock beetles. Seeking a way around the obstruction, Orryn's crew discovered a Drow city. Though they knew they were in mortal danger, and had to return to warn their brethren, it was only a few hours before they were discovered, surrounded, and captured by Drow patrols. They were split up immediately, taken away to separate work crews for all Orryn knew. He never saw another of his team from that day on. It has now been about ten months since his capture. With rescue now long having passed by as a reasonable expectation, escape is the only option.
Known family: Plenty of family and loyal friends above. He has a wife, Vasheyn, and two young adult sons, Peyther and Jykko. *Peyther is courting a young lady, and was planning on asking her father for her hand at the time of Orryn's disappearance. At this point, given the passage of so much time, Orryn is firmly convinced that he and his crew are believed by their loved ones to be dead and gone.*
Other: Orryn is a proud worker, a fair fighter, and an incredible observer. Very little is seen or heard and not remembered. He is even picking up some of the filthy Drow language, though he takes great care to reveal this to no one. He is a skilled miner, a well-renowned underground navigator, and a fine singer.*
Name: Zair Althidon
Gender: Male
Race: Sylvan Elf
Age: 137
Appearance: Zair is covered in rippled lean muscles. All manner of scars adorn his body. Though he looks young, his bright blue eyes show deep wisdom. His hair hangs past his strong shoulders reflecting the light around him with it's silver strands. His skin is ghost pale and stands at 5'10". A little taller them most Elves. His hands calloused and moves with a grace of a very skilled warrior. For the most part his expression is grim. A very handsome Elf, though at times he wishes he was not. For he catches the eye of many Drow, especially the Females.
Personality: A fierce warrior and Champion of Corellon Larethian the Elves main god. He is soft spoken and passive. When left alone with no duties he meditates and trains his body, going over his fighting routine when he can get away with it.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Zair has seen many things. Once an adventurer then a Champion of Corellon Larethian. In his young Elf life he has seen countless enemies and has even slain a handful of Drow, then a few more when they took him in the night. He believes this a challenge from his God. That he is here for a reason.
How you became a slave to the Drow: As a Champion of Corellon Larethian he was required to protect holy temples. Three months ago, one night on a daily patrol around the city temple he spotted an intruder in the shadows. He took out his double-sided swords (long blades on ether end of the handle. He wielded one in each hand.) and shouted out, "Who goes there?" In his native tong. Before he could even blink Drow melded out of the shadows. They all came at him at once. Zair killed five of them before there poison bolts penetrated his armor and knocked him unconscious.
Known family: The Althidon family are of royal blood and have serves there god Corellon Larethian for countless generations.
Name: Koin
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Orc
Age: 25
Appearance: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/Asylum-Rhapsody/half-orc.jpghttp://www.wesschneider.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/half-orc-300x300.png
6’4” Tall and weights around 225.
He was slimmer and less muscular when he was first brought to the underdark, but years of fighting has made him buffer and gave him a few interesting scars. Koin’s face was more pleasant to look at, not handsome by elf standards but not ugly is now bruised. His hair and beard running wild and long from lack of care, eyes glossed over as if seeing distant sights. Over all Koin looks like a wild animal trapped and angry at everything around him, almost saddening to anyone but the cruel Drow elves.
Personality: Koin behaves brutishly responding to almost anything with violence. So it’s safe to say he is aggressive.
(After being freed from where ever the drow was keeping him, probably chained up as well, he’ll be quick to anger still dull but reserved and tired. He’ll slowly digress back from a beast and into something closer to what he was before, a cleaver witty agile thief but still be tainted by the rage he was controlled by for years. So he’ll never be quite back to normal.)
Thoughts on your current state of life: “Rage, kill, blood” Is all Koin thinks of now, his captors have provoked him into raging so many times that he is mentally exhausted, all he thinks of is killing whoever he is sent after.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Before being captured Koin was a witty and agile rogue/thief after running from his tribe he took to stealing to survive. Him being part Orc made it harder for him but he learned faster because of it. He named himself Koin after the gold coins he’d take from purses. He used extra money to learn, eventually buying books and reading.
The Drow nabbed him in a dwarven city he traveled too for thieving reasons, thinking a “Orc” would be a fun toy for them. Using his wits he played the dumb Half-Orc role thinking he could work his way out of slavery if they thought all he had was a box of rocks for brains. 5 years later they reduced him to a brain dead rage monster.
Known family: Father was an orc in some tribal clan; he grew up there until becoming disgusted and running away at a young age. Mother was a human, probably dead.
Other: With a ton of rest he should be able to at least function without being enraged, the longer he goes without raging the more he returns to his original self.
Name: (Get creative! Especially if you're an elf, gnome, dwarf, etc.) Kyran
Gender: Male
Race:(No evil races please) Human
Age: 26
Appearance: Kyron stands at an uncomfortable-for-living-underground height of 6'2''. He is also quite muscular, with a broad chest and broad shoulders. He often stands hunched over, as if trying to take up less space. He has dark hair and piercing blue eyes. On the surface, he would have been considered a very attractive male. He sometimes notices others, especially females, looking at him in an intense and odd way, but he has no idea why.
Personality: (May not be very developed if you were born into slavery) Since he was born into slavery, there isn't really much to Kyran. He has a gentle personality, which seems to be in direct contrast with his powerful body frame. He will sometimes make attempts to help the weaker slaves. Sometimes he is beaten for this; sometimes he isn't. He is very quiet and mostly keeps to himself. He is uneducated. His eyes show little more than an animal's eyes. He is like a large and gentle dog who has been beaten repeatedly. However, sometimes he snaps. He will completely lose himself and, due to his size and strength, can cause quite a bit of destruction before he is restrained.
Thoughts on your current state of life: This is all Kyran knows. He just accepts his life blindly. He fears his masters. He is also shy of his fellow slaves, although a part of him craves some form of companionship.
How you became a slave to the Drow: He was born into slavery.
Name: Zar Frostscale
Gender: Male
Race: Dragonborn
Age: 26
Appearance: http://images.community.wizards.com/community.wizards.com/user/human_folly/large/2889d6a7c89b0247168421c932e16837.png?v=252900
This is Rimas is his old war gear, sadly all of it was taken from him on the day of enslavement. Standing at 5'11 and weighing in at 270 pounds of draconic muscle, this body was built for fighting, and that's just what he'll do. With crystal blue eyes, Rimas is a oddity among his kind, with snow white scales instead of the usual reds or brownish colors. Burned into his throat is rune that binds his dragons breath within him. The ruin can be deactivated by a mage, or priestess of minor power, sadly Zar is neither.
Personality: Honor in a land where there is none. Zar is one to reserve judgment, never fully letting his plans go, he likes to keep his thought and ideas to himself until absolutely necessary.
Thoughts on your current state of life: Battle lust is the only thing keeping Zar going at the moment, because that is the only thing keeping him alive. The drow kidnapped him to fight for there amusement, and to protect there precious priestess. Though he could have a civil conversation with anyone down here that spoke the same language as him, he chooses to speak more with violence, or not to act or speak at all.
How you became a slave to the Drow: Zar was a typical Dragonborn adventure traveling the world, making his fortune from that of other monsters, and in his favorite place in the world... the pits. A fighter body and soul, sadly this was the reason the drow captured him. One night at the pits Zar had won his fight for the night, and had a few drinks at the arenas tavern. Little did he know, the drinks he was being brought were laced with drow sleeping poison. Before he knew what was happening, a blanket of darkness had filled the tavern, 6 people were killed, and one large white dragonborn disappeared.
Known family: None.
