Re: Interest and OCC Thread
I figured I'd go ahead and submit what I have now to make sure you're ok with the backstory and whatnot.
I do have a couple questions though. I wanted to kind of base this character around the Coil of Thorns "Bitter Fruit" spell thingy, but I didn't quite know how the "kitchen" mechanic was going to work out. I also wasn't 100% sure if "master passions" meant something special in the personality section or not. Also, I wanted to have some sort of alchemy specialization but I'm not really sure what would fit with the character.
EDIT: I filled in most of it now, it's pretty much finished now. Just missing the specialization of Alchemy. I'm not sure if the artifact stuff is going to be ok with you or not, but I tried to have a decent backstory for it.
Here's what I have so far:

Character Sheet:
Name: Elyna Fairfields

Race: Elf
Obligation: Enemies
Lord Kolden, still very interested in the status that the sword would bring to his own ambitions, will certainly try to make some play at claiming it. He has already demonstrated his willingness to send various unsavory types of people in order to claim it from Tenyn, and even worse some of the soldiers in the assault itself march under his house's banner.

- Resource: Rank 3 Artifact "Tenyn Family Sword"
This longsword has been passed down through the Tenyn line for longer than memory recalls, and it's true name has been forgotten. Supposedly it was awarded to one of their ancestors for an act of military heroism long since forgotten, and was originally passed between great heroes and adventurers for their deeds before the Tenyn family began zealously guarding it as a keepsake. It is said to be unbreakable by normal means and increase the speed of it's bearer. When placed close to the skin, you can feel a slight breeze even in the deadest of air. - Resource: Rank 2 Mount War-boar

This is a list of stuff your character has accumulated and filled the 'Batcave' with, not what they are carrying.
Biographical Data:
Background:
Elyna Fairfields was born to a family of two traveling Elven merchants whose families had both plied their goods wherever there were buyers since the disaster at Mirafar had displaced them. From a young age, she learned to handle the long treks her parents led her on. As she grew older, she began to exhibit a supernatural understanding of medicinal herbs, to the extent that she could identify the healing properties of plants she had never seen before. Her parents exploited this knowledge and had her make poultices and medicine for people they encountered on the road, gouging whatever money the could from them in return.
Eventually, she started to harbor doubts about leaving sick people to their fates just because they could not afford to pay her family, and confronted her parents. The resulting argument ended in her stealing one of the large boars that pulled her families cart and running away. She spent some time afterward wandering from village to village offering her abilities to any who needed it and accepting whatever they offered her in thanks in order to survive. She had found niche for herself and lived comfortably this way for several years.
Word of her healing abilities and inability to let people suffer reached a local noble, Lord Tenyn. Tenyn's son had been poisoned into a coma, and assassins had made an attempt on Tenyn himself. At the same time, a burglar managed to break into his personal quarters but was caught by a guard and slain on the spot. Under normal circumstances, the attempts on his life would appear as an overly audacious attempt on his life by his rival, Lord Kolden. Kolden was a dreadfully ambitious man, who had risen from a minor noble with nothing to his name to a noted warrior and politician and was constantly looking for avenues to expand his own power and influence. Kolden was not, however, a stupid man, and the reward to make him risk his reputation in such a way was great.
The burglary was the missing piece in the puzzle of his motivations, for Tenyn had a great wealth secreted away. Long ago, an ancestor of his won a great battle and slew the enemy general on the field, claiming a mighty sword as his prize. Since that day, the Tenyn line has held the sword in secret as an heirloom, a reminder of their families past glory. How the secret of the sword escaped, Tenyn did not know. Perhaps a servant had learned of it's existence, or perhaps some record remained somewhere of the artifact coming into the Tenyns' possession. Knowing Kolden would not relent and fearing the death of his son, Tenyn developed a plan to make himself no longer a worthy target and preserve his line.
Elyna was contacted to come and heal Tenyn's son, for all the other healers had left the area or refused the task for fear of their own safety. Within a few hours, the boy was saved from his fate and Tenyn brought his family's sword from its secret chamber. In front of his servants, he offered the artifact to Elyna. While not understanding why he would offer it, she understood the value of the sword and accepted it. Wasting no time, Tenyn had his guards usher her out of the city and to her intended fate while he himself took his family into temporary hiding. Perhaps fortunately for Elyna, at that time the Mirafar assault was beginning and she rushed off to aid the many casualties that were sure to come.
Bonuses:
Physical Description:
Elyna is tall with bright, unnaturally yellow and white hair and green eyes. Shoots of green vines can be seen in her hair, though she tries to hide it as best she can. She has a thin, agile body fitting of her Elven lineage. She has B-Cup breasts. She wears thick, sturdy clothing stained by dirt and the plants she works with.
Personality:
Elyna is a hardworking, kind woman who feels more at home grubbing in bushes picking plants than dealing with other people. She is very patient and compassionate, but other people sometimes are put off by her simple mannerisms and blunt conversation. She prefers whenever possible to deal with ordinary townspeople rather than the wealthy.
