((He has been carried over from many boards, most recently Gaia Online. Many things vary from this version, such as excluding Shillien, the Lineage 2 Goddess of Drow, to be replaced by others, and my past may be a bit distorted from some Drow Lore...He's in development, and will age and gain more skill the more I use him.))

[url=http://www.myarmoury.com/images/reviews ... g:24dtvs94]Landgraf and Sempach Swords:[/url:24dtvs94] Two one of a kind single, or two handed long swords the perfectly sized blades are well balanced and a great fit for Jiv'undus. Though not the best weapons to dual wield, young Jiv'undus mostly cares about aesthetics at his age. The blades are swift enough to work though. They posses no inherit magical abilities or special modifications.

Blade width: 1 3/4 inches at base, tapering to 1/4 inch
Fuller length: 12 inches

Guard width: 8 1/8 inches
Pommel: 2 inches long (including rivet block), 2 1/8 inches wide
Point of Balance: 4 1/4 inches from guard
Center of Percussion: ~21 3/4 inches from guard

[b:24dtvs94]Armor:[/b:24dtvs94]
Leather Armor: Simple Leather Armor, protects well against slashes and other cut passed attacks, thrusts and blunt trauma still take full effect though. It provides great maneuverability at the lose of some defense.

[b:24dtvs94]Physical Feats/Skills:[/b:24dtvs94]
Amateur Swordsmanship:He is an amateur swordsman, and a good one at that. Though no official training he wields his blades with excellence, though a bit reckless and child like in some of attacks, without much thought put into the next move he shows great promise and has a pure affinity for the sword, using his natural talent to beat most humans and some demons.

Hidden Strength: Despite his small stature and thin, lean, but defined body, he posses more strength then a large full grown adult male human. This is a racial trait of his people, and is a perfect example of the Drowish superiority over the human race. He'll flaunt his strength for fun at times.

[b:24dtvs94]Magical Feats/Skills:[/b:24dtvs94]
Infavision: It is like heat vision, with a large difference. His eyes see heat, and allow him to track human or humanoid, animal, or anything else living movements, but also set aside useless heat sources like fire, or something else that would disrupt his targeting, he can even focus on one target, making all others appear normal. Also, he See's in full color, not that bluish color outside the red heat. But he loses something very important when using this, he can't use it in the daylight, and unless he covers his eyes in the daylight, he won't be able to see at all..For at his young age, Infavision is constantly active.

[b:24dtvs94]Personality:[/b:24dtvs94]Brash, cocky, even a little reckless, this young elf by human standards is just a fifteen year old boy, doing what such an age does. Cause mischief, act stupid, and be a young boy while he still can. With one major difference, being a Drow, his mischief often ends in a deadly way. He enjoys stealing and loves tricking the shop owners he steals from.

Beyond this, he is just a normal Drow. Cunning, never trusting a soul, sly and a wee bit untrustworthy himself. It is best to watch your back around Drow, as anyone who knows of them could tell you. This young Drow knows no order on the surface world, and does as he pleases.

[b:24dtvs94]Biography:[/b:24dtvs94] Growing up in the land of Elindahor, the Catacomb city located on the Southern most tip of the world, he was taught skills by his father and mother, and like many Drow, was set out onto the surface world at thirty years old, or roughly thirteen human years, and told never to return to his parents, or any major city of the Drow till he was one hundred, if he could survive seventy years on his own he would gain the right to be called a real Drow, at least by his parents standards.

This aside, he has traveled the world for twenty years already, he has crossed path with demons, fought and lost to Holy Paladins, and done things most could never dream to do in a lifetime. Soon he will be stronger, one day he will make his name known amongst the Drow world, nigh, the whole world.((Working..Ill go more into depth on what he does over his years through role playing, and it will be added to this bio in a summary style.))

One thing I'd recommend editing on the bio to make it fit Forgotten Realms is his age. In the Realms, a drow or elf of 50 years old is equivalent to a human child of around 10 years old. Drow are considered adults at age 70 - in the underdark drow society. They do not actually physically mature faster than other elven subraces. Their society just forces them to 'grow up fast', so they're considered adults at 70 to 80 years instead of 100 years.

If you want him to be a brash drow teenager equivalent to a human 15 or 16 year old, I'd up his age to 70 to 80.

Also, you describe him in one section as being small of stature, yet his height is listed as 5'8", which is actually 'tall' for a drow male, and average height by human standards. If he was close to 5 feet or less than 5 feet, then he would be seen as being 'small in stature'.

Other than that it looks alright to me.

My DM and game group still use the 2nd edition Infravision for Drow and elves too, instead of the new black and white 'darkvision'.
