BigRob Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 (edited) Aklon. A LN human monk. Height: 6'7"; Hair: Blonde, Eyes: Blue, Age: 37 (or just, older, if you prefer). STATS: Strength: 16 (Years of combat training and rough living) Dexterity: 18 (The same) Constitution: 13 (Not spectacularly enduring, but better than the norm) Intelligence: 15 (From 13) (Native intelligence and extensive education.) Wisdom: 15 (Long experience in the world) Charisma: 12 (About average. You weren't expecting a single digit value, right?) BIOGRAPHY: Aklon is a consummate wanderer, having spent almost his entire life travelling across Faerun and more distant lands to the East and South. Aklon has passed through every part of Faerun, lived in many cities, survived in harsh wilderness and fought many battles. The constant travel, combined with a wide ranging education in his youth, have given Aklon a measure of knowledge and experience unusual in a man of his age. Though Aklon's skills are those of a fighting monk, he is not a member of any fighting order. Rather, his battle skills are an eclectic mix of western and eastern martial traditions, combined with vicious fighting moves learned in innumerable tavern brawls across the face of Toril. PERSONALITY: Aklon is a calm and collected soul, unfazed by most things, since he's likely seen it, or something close to it, before. For things that he hasn't seen before, Aklon has an insatiable curiosity and his primary motivation in life is to learn and explore. Despite his vast experience, Aklon does not boast about his skills and accomplishments, though he freely offers advice without being asked. If people choose not to take that advice, Aklon will generally make no additional comment. Aklon is a tolerant individual, for the most part ignoring strictures of good and evil, but he does have his own peculiar brand of morality. For the most part, Aklon will get along with people who treat him with politeness and if forced to remain with unpleasant company will adopt a policy of silent toleration. Aklon will romance females of any race, so long as their CHA is 8 or higher and their INT is 10 or higher. This is just the basic info found at Aklon's homepage here.

MysticTempest Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 LOVE the new portrait! Can't wait to do the romance... rrrow! Quote Link to comment
BigRob Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Thank you, I'll pass on the complement to my artist (The Artist Formerly Not Known as Anything). I'll do my best to get the writing finished quickly, but you can't rush these things. Quote Link to comment
KIrving Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Will only romance a female with INT 10 or higher? Oops! my Paladin better read more books. Quote Link to comment
BigRob Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 He does prefer women who can string a sentence together. Quote Link to comment
Galactygon Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 One of your dialogues don't sound well enough: Aklon: Hmmm, yes, it is perhaps your defining characteristic. I would like to know how you judge who is evil and needs to be fought and who is not. To me, it sounds like a run-on sentence. The first thing that I recomend to be corrected, is the less use of ands. Perhaps use some other conjunctions instead. -Galactygon Quote Link to comment
BigRob Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Yes, a definate editing job needed there. I do tend to use "and" an awful lot. Aklon: Hmmm, yes, it is perhaps your defining characteristic. I would like to know how you judge who is to be the reciever of your wrath, how you judge who is good and who is evil? Better? Quote Link to comment
Keera Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 6'SEVEN inches? Is that a misprint or is Aklon very very tall? Quote Link to comment
Dancer Fitz Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 6'(foot)7"(inches) Quote Link to comment
JPS Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Yes, but 6' 7'' is very tall (around two meters, for those of us who use a more rational system ). That doesn't necessarily have to mean that Aklon can't be that tall, though... Quote Link to comment
BigRob Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Yep, Dancer Fitz and JPS are right, Aklon is 6' 7" (197cm) tall, so he's one tall boy. Giants (in human terms) start at about seven feet, I believe, so while he is tall, he's not ridiculously so. Just imagine Darth Vader without the black armour. Quote Link to comment
BevH Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Actually, for a human male that's about average according to the Players' Handbook. Base height for a human male is 4'10" +2d10 or 6' 6". They grow 'em tall 'round these parts! Quote Link to comment
Aphril Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Just would like to say really quick; I'm excited about Aklon! I was a bit skeptical at first, to be honest... please don't kill me... but Aklon has won me over! Quote Link to comment
BigRob Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 (edited) Thanks. As long as you're won over at some point, then everything's just fine. Edited April 12, 2004 by BigRob Quote Link to comment
Tam Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Is his portrait based on a Jude Law photo? Quote Link to comment
