BoG'r OOC.

That is PERFECT. =O

Best part is she won't be high-ranking at all, though not for want of trying. Just how high of a rank she would have achieved and what warband/unit she would have joined are entirely up to you. =D

Something I've been thinking about:

If Azthri spent at least part of her life growing up in Sigil away from Git'riban/away from other githyanki, it's fairly likely that she was attacked by/had an encounter with either githzerai, brain traders, or a mind flayer (or, more likely, its minions) at some point. This is part of why even renegade githyanki tend to be in groups: plenty of githzerai continue the War of Two Skies, and illithids probably regard lone giths as potential food.

This might have made Azthri even more eager to rejoin her people...

I actually linked 2 maps of the immediate area itself and faeruhn as a whole, so it seems zimmy missed these bits... no sorries needed Azure , The maps quite clearly show the lay of the land, if not much else of any details..

http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/File:Inner_Sea.JPG

The Ascendancy: The githyanki need a new leader. One of those three canidates has to come out as the new queen and even if it's someone Azthri doesn't like, it's better than being left vulnerable.

The Heartforce: Rich leaders earn little but scorn in Azthri's eyes. She would never submit to their will, since the obviously (in her mind) care little for the common githyanki working tirelessly to provide for hearth and home.

The Silver Eyes: Azthri doesn't know much about them other than the fact that they are looking for relics of Gith. Personally, she hopes they are attempting some form of powerful necromancy to bind the soul of Gith to a new body. (She has no idea Gith's soul was released.) If they ever wanted a volunteer, Azthri would be first in line!

The Cult of Tiamat: Azthri understands where her duthka'gith brethren are coming from, yet allying themselves with and worshiping Tiamat is little more than a slavery bound by invisible chains. Makes her sick to think about it, really.

The True: Azthri would love to believe the soul of her childhood hero has been reborn, but until she can see Ar-Gish with her own eyes and have viable proof, they're just a bunch of delusional nutters in her book

The Reconciliation: Azthri feels they are on the right track, but they need to hurry up so the race can get back to hunting illithids! They will only be a sucess if the githzerai are assimilated into the githyanki.

The Apocalytes: While Azthri is a verteran of the Incursion conflict, she is definetly not a True Apocalyte (truth be told, they scare her a bit!) and she feels she has no connection to the Imperial Apocalytes due to her background nor any right to hope for a mighty empire

Thank you! There is a reason why she has those views as well as why her alignment is true neutral: both are partially linked to the Limbo incident her mother experienced. I'm itching to reveal what exactly is very, very wrong with Azthri......muahahahahaaaa.

Answer 1: Your pronounciation is correct. As an added campaign flavour note, Azthri'Zhan'kel is her full given name, Azthri'kel or just Azthri are her most common shortened variations, though her mentor often called her Azthri'Zhan.

Answer 2: I had another idea in mind, actually. They are still in the Custom House, correct?

First post on the way by the grace of Gith the Liberator!!!! =D

Yeah. I just decided to roll the dice randomly.

Ah Zimrazim, you guessed correctly! Azthri's spectacles are indeed enchanted......with a mind-blank spell. It has the added bonus of surpressing Derog's influence. However, they are also in fact perscription lenses designed to alleviate a specific ailment: her right eye has poorer vision due to being hit with a spell during the Incursion.

I haven't yet decided her rank......I'll need your help or Azure's to settle that one.

Derog is, in fact, the insidious reproccussion I mentioned earlier. He is a githzerai ghost who was somehow thrust into her body when her mother fell into the chaos itself. He first went into her pregnant mother, which broke her mind and the act sent him into the next body: Azthri. Make no mistake, he's no longer neutral.....he's neutral evil by the time of this rpg. Can't really try to mold a helpless little girl all of her life using shame, fear and manipulation without an alignment shift. His views of her are quite warped. It is literally love/hate for him.

Mercifully, Azthri does not reciprocate positively at all. To her, Derog is just like the creepy friend of your older brother that you want to hide from under the bed because he has a crush on you, for lack of a better analogy. No matter how flattered you might be from the attention, it still makes you want to run to your older brother and beg him to beat up the aforementioned creepy friend. O_O

Azthri has thankfully figured out how to dominate him by sheer force of will, but her control isn't perfect.

I can't seem to find a possesion modifier for ghosts, only demonic creatures, so I will be tinkering with her stats. Probably should take a -2 to Constitution, -1 Spot, -2 Diplomacy and -2 Sense Motive. at the least...

Eeek. **flogs self** Editing my post now and altering for content. That is the absolute last time I post while running on 1 hour of sleep. O_O;;;;

**makes peace offering of illithid skulls**

PS: Githwarrior it is then! Yay! =D

Keep it "secret" by discussing this in PM's.. makes it loads easier imo for all players
My discussion with Azure borders on the same as yours though... as its about my ability, regarding vile dam.

1) Sorry for the slowness.

2) Azure -- does Ya'shenn know anything about the Band of Crysocolla? Particularly which city/fortress/etc. they come from? Just wondering if Ya'shenn can help Azthri with 'so this is where your mom came from'

3) Azure -- can the party meet up with Kirath and Ar'dru again soon?

4) Vaguely considering the idea of meeting with one or more of the captains before Pale's three days are concluded. (Styrrn -- convince him not to sneak out of Starmantle without actually saying so outright; D'ayyn -- see just how crazy he is, maybe find out more about the True Apocalyte mindset; Lis -- find out if he's a complete minion of Mist-of-the-Mind or not)

I can agree on the "somewhat mysterious"
I want to write something more substantial, but all i seem to have is "one-liners", not intentional, but I have no more inspiration to write big laps of text atm... it annoys me

No thanks, I do want to write my own stuff

You used green for your text, THAT was my colour

Could you please use a different one?

Dark Blue is used for mental communications (psionic missives etc...

Azure uses many different ones for his NPC's, I am not sure what Zimmy uses light blue?

Thnx darl

I've used dark blue for Ya'shenn since the beginning.

I figure the githyanki word for "mercy" doesn't mean exactly what it does in English. It probably means something more along the lines of mercy killing/euthanasia, or "restraining oneself from slitting throats for some specific purpose." But mercy for mercy's sake? Not likely.

I wonder if Tij'di will wake up soon.

Hoping that Az and Bladedancer post again soon, as well.

Thank you, Azriael! I hope she will prove to be interesting and useful to the plot. Personally, I can't wait to see how she will react when she meets the rest of the Git'ribani.

Can Azure plz send me a PM with some details about the 3 stooges?
