Well…appears I’ve changed my fanfiction likes to something else right now….NEVERWINTER NIGHTS ROCKS! cough Anyhow, this fic is based on a awesome module made by Savant, whom I want to give my compliments to, all characters belong to him except for my two PCs. ENJOY!

Character Sheets

Name: Rei Yamamoto
Race: Half-elf

Age: 95 (I think that’s roughly 35 human years)

Appearance: Emerald green eyes, VERY long dark brown hair (usually tucked under her helmet or armor), tan skin, about 5’10, with a strong build
Class: Paladin/Samurai

Patron: Bishamon (Japanese god of warriors and such)

Alignment: Lawful Good (duh)
Equipment: Sword Saint Legacy +8 (katana+ holy avenger attribute), 2 +5 keen wakizashi+5 kozuka, Hikari (looks like samurai armor mixed with a bit of western styles, the collar is extra high, concealing her whole neck but still allowing free movement, instead of sandals, they are just greaves), Cloak of Fortification +5 (is black), Dragon Slippers, Holy Belt of Priestly Might and Warding, Bracers of the Blinding Strike, Platinum Helm(shaped like a Japanese dragon face), Talisman of Pure Good (with the symbol of Bishamon…whatever it is), Ring of Protection +5, Major Ring of Universal Elemental Resistance
Background: Rei was the product of the rare marriage of a elf and human, she showed from early age that she a serious thinking youth, thus, she chose the path of a paladin at an early age. However, she doesn’t have a black and white view of the world thanks to her long years of adventuring and of the influence of her younger brother. She tends to try to judge people by their actions, not their looks. She does have trouble when her ideals of loyalty from her samurai side clash with her compassionate paladin side.

Other: She is a master at using the daisho, which is a katana and wakizashi, and 2 kozukas (which she usually keeps hidden in hidden sheaths in her thigh armor); she often stuns opponents with her surprisingly smooth and swift strikes. She does not use shields, rather just her katana and wakizashi, she can even deflect arrows and such with both blades.

Languages: Elven, Japanese (not sure if this is what it’s called but…), Common, Draconic

Name: Kenji Yamamoto

Race: Half-elf

Age: 85 (roughly 25 human years)

Appearance: Crystal blue eyes, short amber brown hair tied with a leather band, darker tan skin, about 5’11, lithe build with muscle

Class: Ranger/Rogue/ShadowDancer

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Equipment: Astral Blade +8/Scimitar +5, Taralash (bow), Shadow Weave (light armor), Cloak of the Bat, Dragon Slippers, Greater Belt of Guiding Light, Bracers of Dexterity +5, Headband of Intellect +5 (as a black ninja headband), Luckstone, Ring of Resistance +3, Lesser Ring of Power, Quiver of Holding (Kenji stores many custom arrows that he makes himself in the quiver, all he has to do is think of the arrow, and the quiver will fill instantly with them)

Background: While Rei has the more serious nature of the two, Kenji (often affectionately referred as Ken by his older sister) is always known to have a smile on his face. He enjoys teasing Rei to the point where she just wants to knock him a good one, but the both of them work together extremely well in battle, with Rei working the front lines while Kenji peppers the enemy with arrows. She also says that Kenji has the ability to persuade a rock and bluff a cheat, Kenji only responds to this with a grin. When he has to, he dances in and out of battle swinging his two swords and frustrating enemies to no end.

Other: His animal companion is a panther he calls Shade. He also prefers fighting with his bow first before going melee.

Languages: Elven, Japanese, Common, Goblin

History: The two siblings grew up in the Far East, hence while half-elves, they bear a definite eastern look to them. Rei learned the art of the samurai and katana from their father, while Kenji chose to use western weapons from their elven mother. Rei chooses to be a paladin and samurai, using the armor and swords that were gifts from her father. They utilize each other’s skills, such as Kenji’s woodland knowledge, tracking abilities, and stealth. He, in turn, relies on Rei’s powerful martial skills along with her rather charismatic nature. The two wander into the central part of Aielund apparently searching for someone, someone whom they have a promise of vengeance against.

Note, for Rei’s samurai class, I’ll be using the class found in Complete Warriors. This information is also subject to change…;) I’m always getting ideas.

Custom Equipment:

Hikari

This armor has always been worn by those who would take up a righteous cause in the name of the village. Rei’s father said that he had received the armor in a mysterious way. When he died, Rei inherited it. She’s rather closed mouth about it and usually refuses to talk about it. It has many powerful enchantments on it.

ShadowWeave:

This armor seems to have been woven from strands of the shadows themselves, it is perfect for those who would prefer not to be seen or heard. Kenji claimed this armor from a dragon’s lair. It has enchantments meant to conceal and silence the user, making them almost undetectable, it can only be used by shadow dancers.
