| Thuunk Likerrock |
 |
Game:
GemStone IV Prime
Gender: Male
Profession: Rogue
Race: Dwarf
Height (For This Race): average
Hair Color: Black
Hair Style: Unkempt, long
Eye Color: Dark
Complexion: Tanned
Unique or Special items: Thuunk wears a reinforced black alloy
cap, a copper necklace (gnoll made), a faded shoulder pack (full of smooth
stones), and a dark grey filching cloak, smokey grey leathers
Attitude or Demeanor: Thuunk is a highly disciplined and
intelligent dwarf who spends the majority of his time in the gloomy moss
lit abandoned gnoll cave system called Cavernhold. He generally will help
any who have fallen prey to the traps of Cavernhold, unless, of course,
they hold him responsible.
Thuunk claims to regularly trade smooth stones to the Great Gnoll, when
in fact what he does is recover, and sometimes keep, items lost by fellow
adventurers in Cavernhold. General attitude is commitment to a well thought
out scheme to cover for how he comes by recovered items that the owners
do not claim.
General appearance: Thuunk is generally unclean, due to the large
amount of greenish oxidized copper dust that can be found in the mines.
He is near fifty years of age (not too old in this game)
General build: Thuunk has average strength and build for a dwarf.
Distinguishing features: None really. He is most well known for
his stories about trading smooth stones with the Great Gnoll. If possible,
I'd like the picture to somehow reflect his general dusty appearance,
and the story he tells of smooth stones. (In game he often shows folks
his pack full of smooth stones)

| Witcheaven Glantria |
 |
Game:
GemStone IV Prime
Gender: Female
Profession: Sorceror
Race: Half-elf
Height (For This Race): tall
Hair Color: Silver
Hair Style: Short, braided
Eye Color: Dark
Complexion: Fair
Unique or Special Items: She is wearing a bloodspattered
wrist-sheath, a silver-inlaid obsidian ring, some black fur-trimmed
leathers, a scorched components satchel, some black silk pointy-toed
slippers, a gold-trimmed xenium scabbard, a supple black leather bodice
laced up the front with a slender silver chain, some saucy black leather
pants, some pearlized death head beads, an enruned rolaren circlet,
an attractive topaz heart pendant, a pair of black leather half-gloves,
a hooded black silk cloak, and a black sash. some black fur-trimmed
leathers: The supple black leather armor is crafted to fit closely to
the body, their lines clean and designed to not only protect but to
show a figure's contours as well. Around the shoulders, silkie puma
fur is draped, the irregular edges trailing down across the chest. You
also notice a small enchanter's mark. a fiery red vultite kris dagger:
The blade of this dagger is forged from pure vultite and the graceful
wave identifies it as a kris blade. The blade is edged in blood red
krodera, and the hilt is forged of pure golvern wrapped in fine veniom
wire. It is capped with the head of a dragon forged from fiery red krodera,
it's gaping mouth spewing flames of pure golvern. Two dazzeling rubies
adorn the eyes of the dragon. some pearlized death head beads: Each
bead has been individually carved with small flames, licking around
its surface. Two perfect moonstones, almost translucent in quality,
frame a large central opal. Peering deeply into the stone you see the
images of horribly disfigured beasts howling in terror as their forms
are torn asunder by a greater force.
Attitude or Demeanor: I always perceive Witcheaven
to be gazing at others with a calculating look in her eyes--one that
is almost chaotic. Her personality is one that thrives in chaos. She
is not evil, nor is she completely without stains on her soul. She loves
to create chaos. She is also very moody, and can change her moods at
quicksilver speed. One moment she can be your best friend, the next
moment she can be removing your leg. She is a servant to a very powerful
in-game family of dark elves so she is often covering her emotions in
their presence.

| Chutnee
BornOdepression |
 |
Game:
GemStone IV Prime
Gender: Female
Profession: Bard
Race: Sylvankind
Height (For This Race): average
Hair Color: Black
Hair Style: Very long
Eye Color: Multihued
Complexion: Lily white
General Appearance: Since I have always claimed sylvans live
8 centuries, Chutnee -- at about a half a century -- is very young.
I picture her as about eighteen or nineteen. Her raven hair is extremely
long, I picture it knee-length, and fully billowing everywhere. Her
multihued eyes hold the secrets of her dark past. She has an intensity
of look which holds and the onlooker entralled. High cheekbones sculpt
her astonishing face, not so much beautiful as mesmerizing.
Distinguishing Features: She has an Ivas tattoo on her waist,
just to the right of her navel. Her hair should be billowy, very black,
very long and just downright noticeable. Her multihued eyes should
flare with intelligence and daring.
Unique or Special Items: A braided crimson hair tie she wears
across her forehead, not in any way to restrain her hair, an archer
she wears a scarlet leather quiver on her back, a burnished gold leather
quiver at her waist, and veniom thigh quivers. She wears fingerless
black leather archery gloves, black diamond trimmed leathers and side-laced
red leather leggings. A dragonfire ruby earring dangles from her right
earlobe. And she is fond of gold and ruby jewelry, wearing a demon
minature linked ruby bracelet on one arm, a heavy gold bangle set
with rubies on the other, and a ruby and gold ankle bracelet. She
also wears a ruby-stringed gold harp pin and an exquisite harp pendant,
as well as a stylized emerald wisp talisman marking her as a follower
of Ivas. The Ivas talisman is most important, as is the Ivas tattoo
at her wiast (see appearance) depending on how far down the half-portraits
shows (just to the chest to to the waist).
Attitude or Demeanor: Chutnee styles herself "the Bohemian
Bardess" and is a free spirit in every sense of the word. A worshiper
of the goddess Ivas, she has a natural sensuality which she cultivates
to suit her beliefs. She is an "Ivas dancer" and knows how
to move with a dancer's grace. The red and black leather she prefers
to wear suits her to a tee.
General Build: She has a supple body which facilitates her archery
skill, but it is yet a seductive body. I do picture her as having full
breasts and a tiny waist, no matter how pat that sounds. I see her as
about average height for a sylvan with that race's long, lithe legs.

Tips on Describing Your Character
Describe your vision of your character. Remember, the artists cannot
see your vision and do not know your character. It is important that you describe
your vision as best as you can for the most desirable results.
Stress what's important. If something is important to your vision of
your character, make sure to mention it.
Be detailed. Make sure to describe anything that is important in as
much detail as possible. The more information that you provide to the artist,
the better the chance that the artist's depiction of your character will turn
out the way that you want.
Use all the space. Take advantage of all the space made available to
you.
Prioritize your inventory. List your inventory in order of importance
of its inclusion in the portrait. List the most important first, and the least
important last. The artists will do what they can to include all inventory items,
but sometimes inventory does not translate realistically into an image due to
space issues.
Know the rules. Read the portrait policies first. If you ask for something
that is against policy, the process will be slowed dramatically.
