NPCs of Tel'Gia

NPCs of Tel'Gia

Tel'Gia is filled with NPCs (Non-Player Characters) who bring the world to life. Some will become dear friends through shared adventures. Others will become rivals and enemies who will compete against you. Endowed with unique personalities and stories, complex relationships will be formed with NPCs over the years. Who have you met so far?

Adventurer Rankings

The Adventurer Rankings show all of the adventurers we have met in the world, either in character or through Lore, and their standing to each other. The rankings are divided into various Leagues. The level of the adventurer determines what League they're in. Below is a guideline:

quote:
1 Unranked
2-4 Bronze
5-7 Silver
8-10 Gold
11-13 Platinum
14-16 Diamond
17-19 Titanium
20 Epic


The Adventurer Rankings will regularly change as NPC's perform their own quests and level up alongside us, or are slain. It is highly significant for an NPC to have adventurer status, for an Adventurer-NPC will act very different from a World-NPC (the most common type). Adventurers have all the benefits, experience, and self-awareness as player-characters, meaning they're incredibly independent and intelligent. However, this also means they're very dangerous to fight. For example, unlike ordinary enemies, a hostile adventuring party would have the shrewdness to focus their opponent's healer first, and coordinate as a team. It should also be keenly noted that an adventurer who's determined to kill a player will not show mercy, and extreme caution should be exercised by players beforehand. In contrast, adventurers also make very strong allies, for such allegiances could have far-reaching effects. Below is a list of ranked adventurers in Tel'Gia:

quote:
Q: How does an NPC gain Adventurer Status?

A: Players automatically gain Adventurer Status. For an NPC to gain Adventurer Status, he/she needs to be established in the game in a long term way. (Basically means they need at least a couple tales dedicated to them AND/OR we see them in-game at least a couple times). As an additional example, every one of the Adventurers in EPIC League are people that Cathyrian Players had met, fought, or interacted with again and again over the course of several years during the Cathyria Campaign. That same model is used in the Mercia Campaign. That is, Adventurers are our peers, people we grow up with (for better or worse lol) as opposed to one-time meetings. They're people we'll never forget.

Name: Thybll
Class: Sorcerer
Age: 25
Key characteristics: Short brown hair & devilishly handesome
Description: Born in the Whispering Hills of Cathyria, Thybll was raised among the grassy knolls of his village, a quiet and peaceful life. He hated it. Seeking adventure, he traveled a short ways north where he teamed up with Codith, Carsonian, and Ryin, and his life became much more exciting. Naturally good looking and born with magical talent, Thybll has carved a name for himself as one of the greatest Halfling-sorcerers in history.



Name: Tzaloc
Class: Wizard
Age: 67
Key characteristics: Short grey hair
Description: Hailing from the western kingdoms of Druhak, Tzaloc traveled to Cathyria with his pupil Loric to study ancient texts in relative solitude. However, beckoned by the town of Poughton, he eventually agreed to aid them in their plights, and soon was caught assisting the entire region!

Undoubtedly the wisest of his kind, Nerkyl is also the longest living Goblin in history, said to be kept young by powerful spirits.

Re: NPCs of Tel'Gia

Name: Captain Skriff
Class: Rogue
Age: 30-4+5=Fish?
Key characteristics: You'll know him when you see him.
Description: Captain Skriff is undoubtedly the oddest adventurer in the world, with an unusual tendency to show up in the damnedest places. In short (pun!), he's a halfling pirate who throws darts, and has a keen talent for causing shenanigans. Although he'd never actually harm someone, he cheats, lies, and steals (...a lot), even in the most inappropriate situations – getting himself into all sorts of silly mischief!



Name: Isuel
Class: Cleric
Age: 25
Key characteristics: Short white hair
Description: Born in the Edessan Republic on the continent of Bishapur, Isuel is a headstrong and zealous young woman. Compelled by her faith, she selflessly serves the realm, uprooting evil wherever it may be. However, her personality often views conflicts in black-and-white, tending to act on stubborn impulse. Despite such willful youth, Isuel is renowned for her kindness toward friends and wrathfulness toward enemies.



Name: Ryin
Class: Cleric
Age: 23
Key characteristics: Shaved head
Description: Born in Origo on the continent of Cathyria, Ryin is the lifelong friend and fourth adventuring companion of Carsonian, Codith, and Thybll. After witnessing the devastating strength of his own power, horrified by it, he renounced all acts of violence. He remains their adventuring companion as a healer of great skill, tending to their many, many, many injuries. Although he prefers to remain silent, he's well-known to give wise and sagacious advice when things seem most dire.



Name: Pyrra
Class: Assassin
Age: 131
Key Characteristics: Purple eyes & Long brown hair
Description: Pyrra was born on the elven island of Estraeus, now known as the Dead Isle after the population was subject to genocide. Escaping the region as a young girl, one of the few, she now adventures the world in service of the greater good, having seen the loss on an entire people. But her hands were stained along the way. In order to serve the greater good, she has no qualms with killing the innocent when necessary – sacrificing few to save the many.



Name: Unaylen
Class: Swashbuckler
Age: 26
Key Chacteristics: Long black hair & Beauty mark on cheek
Description: Born on Perdane, Unaylin's wild spirit led her to the blue seas, sailing the world for adventure. Experienced in traveling, she's been to many of the Isles and seen her fair share of wonders.

Re: NPCs of Tel'Gia



Name: Zinvaris Artian
Class: Fighter
Age: 76
Key Characteristics: A collection of blades about his person.
Description: Born a half-elf in elven society, Zinvaris has always felt very little connection to any one place. As such he has spent his days as a wandering sell-sword, willing to fight man and beast alike for a fee and sufficient glory. Boorish and vain, Zinvaris is a peerless swordsman.

Re: NPCs of Tel'Gia

Learn Your NPC's! - Exposé



Name: Ziv [Phonetic: Zee-v]
Age: 26
Key characteristics: Golden, light-brown hair; Honey-colored eyes
Description: Born in a small village on the Isle of Kabariya, Ziv was raised by her foster father Gundahar, a famous hunter, who found her newborn in the woods and nestled against the body of a dead wolf. Only later did he realize the wolf had been her lycanthropic mother, for she'd passed the curse to her infant daughter. Unable to slay the child in good conscious, Gundahar took it upon himself to raise her, and in the process, to channel the curse's wrath toward those whom are evil-hearted.

***

An unfortunate night it was in her village, though she'd not yet been born, still residing in her mother's womb. The werewolf had attacked yet again. Her father held a silver sword, crafted after months of repeated hauntings; his pregnant wife hid in the corner, for there was no room to escape. Standing in its way, they fought claw and sword, until he plunged the blade through its heart. At last, he'd slain the beastly thing. Though he himself died in process, his head enveloped by wolven jaws, and during the violent grapple, his wife Zenra had been bitten in the side. Thusly, she was cursed.

Zenra fled, not knowing what else she could do. Before she was to birth the child, she wrote her a letter, naming the infant Ziv, and desperately hoped that her precious child would not inherit this curse. In the darkness of the forest, during a full moon night, the child came – clouds unveiled the luminous moon above. She could feel a tear down the middle of her very soul as her human body tried to turn, while giving birth in the midst of transformation. Zenra wept, for she knew in wolven form, nothing would prevent the ravenous hunger from consuming her own infant. She grabbed her husband's silver sword. After the child was finally born, her own body nearly covered with fur, she quickly plunged it into her own heart – the infant cried out for comfort as her mother finished turning and dying right then. Sword protruding from the chest, Zenra perished. The child remained alone for hours.

A hunter in the woods found the child and slumped Lycanthrope. Finding a letter among shredded clothes, sword buried in its hulking form, and a baby cradled against the side, the man retrieved and brought them to his forest home. Only at the next full moon did the truth become clear. Looking upon the cursed child, who was ill-fated but innocent, he could not bring himself to destroy her. So he sought out the good within and taught her to see it, even when the moon rose. Growing into a young woman, she above all found the gift to see past appearances, and look into the hearts of others, to see truth. In time, this became the principle by which she lived. And when the moon rises, even moreso. For now when the curse takes and her mind is robbed of its senses, she can do no harm to the good and innocent, but toward the evil-hearted. . . her hunger is insatiable.

Re: NPCs of Tel'Gia

Learn your NPC'S!



Name: Father Walben Tigersoul
Class: Head Priest of the Church of The Lord
Age: 45
Key Characteristics: Almost always seen with his hood and robes on, but body covered in scars, and a large Animalistic tribal tattoo on back, careful to never be seen by others. Body of a past warrior, of the most fearsome sort. Now graying, once black eyebrows suggest once black hair, but now shaven bald for the leadership role of his temple
Description: Mysteriously, this young man came to the temple as full of fear and dread as a human could be without passing out. At the time, his clothes suggested he was in a great battle, muddy, bloody, and pale as death. The brothers of the temple, fearing for their lives, were soon relieved as the frightening man burst into tears and begged for help, telling them a story that would be forever kept within the confides of those stone walls. Finding his faith and joining the temple, Walben rarely left prayer, and only left the temple itself to tend to the gardens and help those in need. The first few months, seeming to always be in fear of being followed, and nights full of terror and horrid dreams, but after more time in the temple, he received his peace, and never again looked back on his life as a cursed one, but as a man who was gifted with a second chance at life



Name: Pvt. Tsuyo Buldor
Class: Warrior [In training]
Age: 19
Key Characteristics: Rather thin, dark rings under the eyes from lack of sleep, possible anxiety disorder.
Description: Tsuyo Buldor, Fifth in the line of the Buldor City Guard knights lineage, renown for their prowess on the field, and feared for their fighting skills. The Buldor family prides themselves on the ability to fight, and defend their country and families by joining the ranks of the city guard as soon as they come of legal age, only the rise through the ranks to a position of authority, or elite guards in some cases



Name: Kriyra Ahijira (Ah-hear-uh)
Class: Assassin (in training)
Age: 86
Key Characteristics: Long, blonde hair. Mostly Elvish features. You would assume her of pure elvish by looks alone. Always cheerful and often apologizing for things, even if she wasn't the cause.
Description: A young, beautiful Half-Elf, she was raised and trained by a secretive sect of elven assassins on the Isle of Terrignis Mare. Many try to find the group, to either join or eliminate them, but none have been able to locate their base of operations (or at least escape to tell others). Only previously existing members may bring others in. Her human mother left her elven father, disapproving of the act of raising their child to be an assassin. Kriyra, however, took on more human reflexes and mannerisms that often conflict with her very elven appearance. She is very clumsy, in stark contrast to the natural grace of most elves, and is often the laughing stock of her training groups exercises. Though she gives it her all, many believe her to be more of a threat to the organization than an asset.



Name: Dowd Talbot
Class: Warrior
Age: 19
Key Characteristics: Large young man built like a barn. Very large and strong with short black hair cut short, giving him a more intimidating look
Description: His grandfather was an orc who married a human girl, and his half-orc father did the same, making him a quarter-orc. He has been revered for his strength in his small traveling community (much like gypsies). However, Dowd is a kindhearted soul, often found upset for days after hunting an animal for the family dinner. He'd rather cause harm to himself than others. Yet, his family grooms him to be a great fighter, always forced to carry his large family sword with him to be a symbol of intimidation for those who would cause trouble. I say forced, because every chance he gets, Dowd tends to 'forget' to take the weapon with him, favoring jolly conversation over any form of violence.



Name: Navad Earthhand
Class: Cleric
Age: 24
Key Characteristics: Young dwarven cleric. Shaven head, and a scruffy beard, not quite long by dwarfish standards, but a full beard when compared to that of a human.
Description: Raised in the temple by almost over-bearing religious parents, the young cleric, as all adolescents go though, is having a bit of a rebellious streak. Though he exceeds in biblical knowledge, he isn't sure if he wants to take the vows to become a pure cleric, wishing to enjoy all the things in life, including those his parents would rather frown upon. His standing with the sect is tedious as he debates whether to stay or leave to enjoy the more earthly pleasures.
