Character Creation

Colten takes a look at his coin purse, and counts 110 gold coins. Waterdhavian nobility must travel in style, after all.

"Perhaps you should lift more weights.", Colten eyes the dwarf incredulously.

Luka never knew her parents. She was born from the union of a elf mother of a noble house, and a traveling bard father. Her mother's family never approved of the pairing, and banished them from the family. The two lovers did not despair tho. They believed they were brought together by fate. They found sanctuary in a church for the goddess of beauty and love, Sune. A few years later, the couple would meet their death at the hands of a raid party on a traveling path in between Mirabar and Luskan. Their only daughter, 8 year old Luka, miraculously survived. Scared, and alone she hid in the wreckage of her parents, and prayed that help would come. Her prayers would be answered in the form of a caravan who was on their way to Luskan. Luka was left in the care of a small, and unkempt orphanage in the outskirts of town. Life continued to be hard for Luka as she, and her 10 younger siblings had no choice but to live under the harsh conditions they found themselves in, but Luka's faith held strong that her parents undying love would protect her. After a few more years, a 16 year old Luka was bringing food back to the orphanage when she spotted a familiar looking banner in the distance. She recognized it as the banner of the raiding party that had killed her parents years ago. She suddenly broke into a sprint as she burst into the orphanage, and began rounding up the children, and fled into the city. As she and the children ran, she turned back to see the old orphanage burning. Had she been minutes slower...

The raiding party was soon driven away, but not until they had caused havoc to the city. Luka, for the first time, felt blind rage. She was angry with the city's slow response to the attack, lack of help for the orphans, and even their living situation for years before. This anger turned to fear and concern, and then into determination when she looked at her siblings. She loved them more than anyone else in the world. She gripped her holy symbol of Sune, and got to work. She spent all her money to buy a wagon, rations, and made the long, hard journey to Neverwinter. Upon reaching Neverwinter, she secured a home for the orphans in the form of the much nicer establishment of the private Neverwinter orphanage. She even gained employment with the orphanage to help raise her siblings, and the children already there.

Although the location is different, life still is not that easy. A now 23 year old Luka has taken up many odd jobs to help support the orphanage. Whether it be becoming a maid for a noble, giving sermons for her church, or helping caravans with her powers bestowed upon her by her god, Luka does it all in the name of love. One day, while looking around the jobs board, she came in contact with Gundren Rockseeker. The kind, but gruff dwarf knew of her abilities, and offered her a job as a wagon escort. As always she was hesitant about about potentially dangerous jobs, but she knew any form of income would help the orphans. Luka agreed to take the job, and returned home to get ready. With her equipment, holy symbol, and small farewell to the children, she headed out to meet her compatriots, and lend them her full support.
