Bourne of a clan of drow tugged into the plane of shadow along with the city of Shade. Barravellsee'iin was born in the plane of shadow, the first of the new generation of 'shadow elves' after however long of staying hidden, living by their stealth and wits the 'barra darthien' began to strike out and explore. This was approximately 200 before the reappearance of Shade. Barravellsee'iin, 'Barvl' for short, had always been among the more militant, less forgiving of his wrongfully punished, by the seldarine, clan, frequently picking off Shade guards whenever an opportunity presented itself. Often he would attract pursuit just to lead them into the lair of a shadow-walker or other monstrosity. Once the Shade discovered the secret to return to the material plane Barvl was the first to volunteer to find it. The rest of his party was captured or killed before they found anything. At a loss for what to do, never being strategically minded (int is high but long-term strategy eludes him), he grabbed the first mage he found, bound and gagged him and managed to get back to the clan's shelter. After long 'questioning' session the mage informed the barra darthien that the secret lay within them, basically activating a 'shadow walk' ability. Shortly after Shade forces found the hideout and decimated it. Barvl, afraid for his life (being war-like, but hating the thought of death), fled. This was 50 years before the reappearance. The past 50 or so years he has been flickering in and out of various societies and places, never fitting in. He has watched this particular shrine and has seen it's acceptance of such a plethora of strange and varied people. Therefore, he decided to approach and hopefully find a niche amongst any people.

not bad!
curious, a class you made or an already established one?

Hmm, a shadow elf; now there's something that sounds most interesting.

So his class is a Shade correct; my first question to this is then, what exactly does his class (if it is a Shade) specialize in?

My custom classes. Specializing in stealth and speed. Oh, and shade is just the descriptor usually given to sentients hailing from the plane of shadow. Classes are shadow ranger and shadow rogue. With a few levels of assassin thrown in.

Ohhhh, he's just asking for a githzerai sidekick.

Sorry, I watch far too many cartoons. . .
