13, Who was Kharia?
Posted by Twist on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Well, first off, as I pretty much said before, I played Kharia. I had just grown a bit bored playing NeverWinter Nights, and decided to make a drow char on CF just to see what I could do. I decided on transmuter because of the "nice to have in a group" factor, along with being able to teleport and identify. Basically she was intended to be a 'scout out a return to CF' character.

I made her role that of a female drow who couldn't become a priestess, but was too frail to be a fighter. One who, strangely, had some magical abilities. Her Mother was upset that her Eldest was going to become a filthy magician instead of a priestess, and sorta exiled her to the surface (under the pretenses of 'sending her to the Academy').

Unbeknownst to dear old mommy, Kharia was hoping for just such an opportunity. She and her ally, Uhvaer (whose sex and exact relationship with Kharia are left purposely vague) had learned of some interesting rumors from the surface - powerful "Old Magic" (which I meant to be the spells that old-school mages knew, and Masters, not anything to do with the current questiness).

Well, I was about level 40 or so, and realized (see why in another thread) that I wanted to come back as Twist. Since my role had been sorta going in that direction anyways, after speaking with the other active IMPs once I was back, we decided to go ahead and use Kharia in the whole plot. So I sacced any limited gear I had, roleplayed the whole magic thing, and spent about a month slowly leveling, avoiding pk when I could.

Coming soon to this thread, I'll post the 10 chapters of her role, along with the immortal comments about her (there weren't many).

Her PKwin/loss ratio was 2 wins, 1 loss. The two pkwins came on people who attacked her group and didn't realize she was there, either duoed or invis. I never actively hunted anyone unless they had gunned for me. The 1 loss was poor timing on my part (or great timing on his.) Damn you Adelhard. :)
