About Me (Aesa Bast)

I'm an avid RPer, with a Gaz-like obsession for the hobby (if you're one of the people who adored Invader ZIM while it was on, like myself, or, if you adore Yu-Gi-Oh, then my obsession is similar to Yami's obsession with Duel Monsters)... if I'm not RPing if you play Gemstone, my characters are Rispah Meron (who I also play as a character in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) and Xiralo Wezen; they both live in Wehnimer's Landing... skip down to get info on them), I'm reading about RPing (I own a veritable library of RPG books, which seems to grow larger by the day... I'm hoping to take this obsession into becoming a cartoonist, since I also love to draw. I also enjoy reading, writing, playing video games, listening to music, and watching TV and the occasional movie.

About Rispah Meron
She is a 400 yr. old Dhe'nar Dark Elf rogue. This means she's a professional thief... although she's yet to be particularly good at it. Still, she's gotten to be a slightly decent hunter... but then, let's face it, the Dhe'nar are like saiya-jins: they are full of themselves, thinking they are the best fighters... the best race in general, actually... in the universe. At least the vast majority are - Rispah is... atypical, having had encounters with many members of the various other races over the years. These dealings and friendships have made certain of the other Dhe'nar believe she has become soft. Rispah's trying to balance these relationships and Dhe'nari philosophy, plus her feelings of loneliness and not quite fitting in anywhere, tear at her sanity and she has taken Zelia, Mistress of the Moons and Madness, as her patron.

Her Nature if She Was a Role-Playing Character from Exalted: Savant - You approach the universe as a riddle to be answered. You live by logic and deduction; any problem can be solved in a rational manner. Your goal is to uncover the truth, to understand everything. However, your intense interest in finding the answers to questions can be distracting, since you get caught up in minutiae and may lose sight of the larger issue.

About Xiralo Wezen
She is a 30 yr. old Aelotoi of the Vaer'sah Clan. She is a professional bard, however, she's still learning. The Aelotoi were former slaves, and Xiralo would perform for them and their masters, the Kiramon (whom they called the Overseers), until the rebellion. She occasionally wrote protest songs for the rebellion, and still keeps a small collection with her. When she came to Elanthia, she learned that the Elven Houses were the ones responsible for the Kiramon invasion so long ago. Most of the Aelotoi forgave the elves, for they had no idea where their magic sent the Kiramon, but Xiralo still holds a terrible grudge...

Her Nature if She Was a Role-Playing Character from Exalted: Rebel - You're the ultimate free-thinker. Whether you champion a cause or simply feel contrary, you choose your own path. Others are welcome to join your march to a different drummer, but you don't need followers or fellow-travelers to make you happy. You defy authority in principle and deed, even if you have similar views.

Personal Stats of Xiralo:
Hair Color: grey-brown
Hair Style: shaven
Eye Color: stormy green
Eye Characteristics: piercing
Complexion: ruddy
Height: average (5'5")
Weight: 165 lbs.
Facial Characteristics: weathered
Nose Characteristics: broken
Wing Color: jade green
Distinguishing Marks: high cheekbones
Tattoos: a nefarious dark elf tattoo on her arm, a black scorpion tattoo on her neck
Piercings: a flame-shaped firestone stud in the upper ridge of her left ear and a snake-etched pewter earcuff

Her age is 30, and her birthday is on the eleventh day of Imaerasta. At this age she appears to have come of age.

Her usual outfit: a snake-etched pewter necklace, a silver-traced sleek onyx choker, a deep black back-slitted cloak, a sword and musical note brooch, some misty grey leather, a shiny bracelet, a gold ring, a bright red belt, a blood red leather sheath, a mottled black pouch, a marbled grey sack, some reinforced black leather pants, and some tall brass-buckled boots.
