Due to the fact that Cilvia and Merideth have been requested so much I'm now putting up three other characters I long to revive.
Yes, that includes the "contreversial" Vallerie.
As with Cilvia & Merideth, things can be altered so they fit into your game.
Name: Clio Hartley
Species: Human
Class: Bard
Age: 25 summers
Height 5' 1"
Hair: Strawberry-blond
Eyes: Bright green
Weight: 145
Appearance: Short, well-shaped, very long and thick hair, eyes are her best feature but is cute and impish looking.
History: Clio Hartley was born to two rich and selfish people in a small villiage. Her father, Michael Hartley, had his daughter educated in everything he could, especially music since she excelled at that, in hopes to marry her to someone very rich. He was the best horse and pony man for miles around and even taught this to Clio, giving her the first colt she ever bred and delievered, the white stalion, Angel, to her as a reward for learning well. Angel is a huge, powerful, and very fast horse. He's completely devoted to Clio and will allow no one else to ride him unless Clio asks him too. He's also a prize stud horse.
However Clio was a stubborn girl who refused to marry the men who bid for her. For Clio wanted true love above all. This didn't protect her from Cyrus, a mean spirited and rich old man who had no sons to carry on his name. Upon seeing Clio's beauty and health he right away divorced his wife and bought Clio for the high price of 3,000 gold pieces.
Clio refused to marry this beast who was so cruel as to deny the existance of his 5 daughters, therefore ruining any chance of them to marry or be happy! So Clio ran away and is now on the road, trying to escape Cyrus and find that one thing she desires. True love.
Name: Pryce London
Species: Halfing, (half giant, half human)
Class: Knight
Age: 35 winters
Height 7' 2"
Hair: Brown but with premature grey
Eyes: red-brown
Weight: 230
Appearance: Very tall, handsome because of his human half. Voice a deep, rumbling bass that is somehow comforting.
History: From the beginning it seemed that someone up there hated Pryce London. He was born of the horrible act of rape. A giant came to a small village and demanded that a virgin human woman be brought to him. Instead of eating her he managed to rape her without killing her. He continued to do this until she became pregnant. Then once he was sure she was scared enough to not get rid of the child he left, threatening to return one day.
Pryce's mother of course died in childbirth. No one wanted to raise the child, but knew if someone didn't care for him and the giant returned they were all dead. So they gave him to a knight who had been blinded in battle. The knight was the only person who showed Pryce love. Other then the knight Pryce was treated poorly and was often the victim of bullies who'd beat him within an inch of his life almost daily. He taught Pryce all about how to be a knight and how to battle as one, then got Pryce a place at the castle. He is occasionally sent out on missions, mostly because many of the knights are afraid of him and wish him gone, so they complain to the king until he sends Pryce away. The king happens to enjoy Pryce's company though and has become a 2nd father figure to the halfling.
For all his fierceness in battle Pryce is extremely shy around females. He stammers and gets dizzy. The one time a woman kissed him, he fainted dead away. When not in battle Pryce is as gentle as a lamb and kind to all living things so long as they don't try to hurt him or his friends.

History: Once there was a farmer who had a beautiful wife, they were happy, but dirt poor. They never had any sons, but it seemed like every year they had a new daughter, each one was more beautiful then the last. Unfortunately this attracted the attention of the evil man who owned the land the farmer worked on. When each girl came of age the man took the daughter away saying he was making her his newest servant. In his clutches they were raped and when he tired of them he often sold them off to his friends who were just as cruel.
The farmer may have been weak, but he wasn't stupid. When his youngest and last daughter was weaned, he sent her to a convent of women dedicated to a woman who was said to be so chaste the gods made her a minor goddess of virgins upon her death. There he knew his daughter would be safe as well as educated.
The women of the convent did teach the children well. But when a special talent or skill was found they spent most of their time on that. Vallerie turned out to be talented in several areas, first being singing, acting, and anything else to do with performing. The next, surprisingly, was blades. Be it a rapier, long sword, or a tiny dagger, if Vallerie can lift it, she can wield it with deadly accuracy. Finally, she has a talent for speaking, reading, and writing in non-human tongues, especially that of Elves and Dwarves. She learns them quickly and easily.
Vallerie's best friend was Elaina. A beautiful girl who was originally brought with her parents to be slaves. But a group of men set out to free the slaves - her parents were accidently killed. Elaina had skin as dark as the night and was rumored to be part Elf herself, though that was never proven. They grew up hand in hand as sisters. They were exact opposites in everything. Vallerie having a quick temper and stubborn nature. Elaina almost never lost her temper and gave in almost too easily. But they loved each other with a devotion so strong it was said even the gods couldn't part them.
Unfortunately, that wasn't true. For when Vallerie came of age, her father's evil landlord tried to claim her from the convent. Saying she was his rightful property. When the women wouldn't hand her over he left, but came back in the dead of night with friends. They attacked. Though there were many fighters, these women were not Amazons and were over-powered. Only a few escaped the horror of being raped or murdered. Most by dying by their own hand. Vallerie held her own against the half-drunken men. Seeing how the landlord would kill any that harmed her she had a little bit of an edge besides being sober.
Elaina wasn't so lucky. Unskilled in defense and separated from Vallerie in the battle, she was subjected to the horrors the other girls suffered. In one last act of strength, she took her own life and the life of her rapist by using the last of her flagging strength to roll them both into a burning shed just as it collapsed. Vallerie didn't even know until the battle was finished. Which was long in coming.
It was too late for many when the party of warriors came and drove off the
landlord and his friends. Vallerie the only one to come out of it with her
virtue and life intact. There was nothing left of the convent to save. They
buried their dead and gathered their few possessions. Then left for all corners
of the earth. Vallerie knew she could never return to her family. So instead
she took herself far away from her home. Keeping her beliefs with her and
never allowing herself to give herself to a man. She knows she must wait
until the gods decree it's time. Making her living by singing, acting, dancing,
translating, or even participating in sword fights and spars.
