I too wish to join this RP.
Name: Tayla Ironstar
Class: Cleric of Oghma
(holy symbol of Oghma)
Race: Half-Elf(Sun)
Sex: Female
Age: 22
Appearance: Standing 5’2” tall Tayla is of average height for the many inhabitants of Waterdeep. She has dark green eyes, and golden hair down to her waist, which shows signs of red and amber depending on the ambient lighting. When in town or city, she usually keeps her hair in three braids. Two smaller braids that drape over her shoulders and hang down to the bottom of her ribcage, and one large braid down the center of her back. Most prominent about her are her ears and facial structure which are distinctly elven, though her ears are not quite as long and pronounced, which she gained from her mother. Tayla is slender, but not frail. Though she has dedicated herself to the life of a cleric and strength of spirit, she is by no means weak in the body, but still she is no warrior. All together, Tayla is beautiful and attractive young women, and she possesses a fiery spirit and force of will that is like no other.
Her standard appearance of dress, while dwelling amongst civilization, is a light blue silk blouse, with a rugged brown wool skirt, under which are sturdy leather boots. Over this she wears either a light leather cloak, or a heavy wool cloak, depending on the weather. Even in her common attire, she wears a waist length stole covered in symbolism important to the church of Oghma, as well as her silvered holy symbol of Oghma. While performing her clerical duties within a temple, or any other location on behalf of the church, she wears either her waist length stole or her ankle length stole, depending on the occasion. This, and of course her holy symbol, hang over snow white dress robes with golden embroidery.
Once it becomes necessary for Tayla to venture out into the unknown, whether in search of new knowledge or on some other mission for the church, she shows she is no slouch of an adventurer either. She starts with basic shirt and pants (though she rarely lets anyone know that she actually wears pants), and on top of this goes a sturdy wool skirt with leather hemming, and loose fitting wool blouse. Over this goes her scale mail, which she inherited from her father that Tayla had resized to fit herself. Finally, she has a dark blue tabard, with symbol of Oghma emblazoned in the center of the chest. Over all of this goes her leather traveling cloak.
Personality: Tayla’s primary concern in life has become knowledge, both the attainment, and preservation thereof. To this extent she has spent many a day perfecting her handwriting and calligraphy skills into a fine art. Hers are some of the finest handwritings, in the temple’s storehouses. In the grand scheme of things, Tayla sees knowledge as the means as well as the end. Knowledge can set oppressed people free, win wars, and even help to bring people closer together. She is reluctant to engage in physical combat, seeing this as a failure to use ones knowledge of the multitude of peaceful resolutions to problems. But make no mistake, should an enemy seek or understand only violence, she will engage the offender with determination.
At times, Tayla can seem cold and distant, even without emotions at times. Her long study of ancient tomes and forgotten scrolls has opened her mind to events in the past of both great goodness, as well as terrible evil. This has instilled something of a cynical, and sometimes remorseful, attitude within her. Tayla enjoys the company of others, but can sometimes shun them whilst in the occasional fit of depression, which ironically is when she needs her friends the most.
Other Gear: Tayla has large, round wooden shield that she keeps slung over her back until she has need of it. Should combat be necessary, and she does try to avoid if she can, Tayla’s weapon of choice is her clawed gauntlet. The gauntlet does not interfere greatly with her ability to manipulate objects, but to perform finer activities (such as writing), she must first remove it. All other belongings she carries with her is either in a small back pack, or a belt pouch at her waist.
