Oh yes my character's, witch one oh witch one shall I start with? how about Grimmer Von Grendal?
Grimmer is a being human's call "Goblin" he is the sole surviver of this ancient clan before humans or really, anything was created. The Titan of forge had created 13 Goblins and 7 Darklings... A female goblin and a male darkling once mated thus Grimmer was born, As Grimmer was born the titans started thinking about creating new life... so he created all the creatures of the earth and the gods, and eventually humans. Gimmer grew up in a rough enviornment creatures at every corner looking for prey humans raiding thier villages thinking they are "demons" come to kill them. About the time Grimmer was 14 he became more "Intellegent" and thus he created a language for the goblin's he called it...."Goblin" for this was the nickname the human's have givin their race so Grimmer thought it to be a good language name. Grimmer started teaching his fellow goblin's the language and eventually Grimmer devoloped a phylosophy he called Grimmology converting all his family and fellow clan's men to this new faith. The Villages expanded and so many goblin's ventured of in all directions to colonise new places creating new clan names and law's for their people. Grimmer discovered a new feeling about the time he was the age of 17 it was a weird feeling... it was greed. Grimmer would grin as he sneaked into the human villages to steal stuff daily..or maybe twice or three times a day sometimes. Grimmer was the first and the greatest of the Thieves, the goblin's said he could steal a handful of gold from a dragon while it watches and never get cought! haha! Eventually Grimmer's "Greed" took him to far... he found himself stumble across an odd building. Grimmer saw weird runes and symbol's on the door of this building. Grimmer thought it woulf be funny for him to go inside and steal every last bit of value in the building by doing so he stumbled upon a dark green book with word's on the top that he just could not make out and so, he stole it! Grimmer walked out with 200 pound's of gold worth of item's when he saw that an old man was comming towards him. Grimmer was quick to hide but not even his enhanced speed could have saved him from the powerful perception of the oldman's eye's. The old man knew he had been stolen from so he cursed the book and Grimmer making him eternally immortal. Grimmer ran back to his clan with the new item's and found his hut and then entered it. he looked through the stuff he had recently stolen when he heard a screaming sound comming from outside. He gathered his stuff and ran outside to see that the village was being raided by wraith's and vile Jachyra's and he knew that he could do nothing to save them so he ran, well actually he didn't know but he ran anyway's. And the rest of the story.. well no one know's but him himself but no one could forget his dazzeling adventure's but there are a few "Secret mission's" that only a few soul's know.
Hehehe did ya like it? well if you didn't kiss my shiney metal ass hehehe.

Rp Disription about Winter Wolves
Winter wolves are the terror of the tundra,
perfectly adapted to their wintry environment.
Though wearing the form of a
simple animal, the winter wolf’s cunning and
intellect approaches that of mankind, making these
creatures far more dangerous than their physical
appearance might otherwise suggest.
Built like a common wolf and yet standing taller
than the fiercest dwarven warrior, a winter wolf is
equally at home within the snow-laden wastes of the
deep arctic or the towering heights of jagged,
windswept mountains. During the heaviest blizzard,
when all that can be seen are swirling shades of
white in all directions, winter wolves prowl for food,
heedless of the ice matting their pelts or the cold
winds sweeping across their lupine faces. When
fierce winter storms send sheets of freezing hail and
sleet screaming across the snow-swept plains, and
even the hardiest arctic inhabitants nestle deep in
hidden burrows for warmth and safety, packs of
winter wolves range the white wastes, seeking prey.
Silently they stalk their unknowing quarry, slipping
ghostlike through the snow-filled landscape, their
tracks quickly erased by the howling arctic winds.
Discovering a lone victim struggling through the
bleak landscape, they add their own howls of
triumph to the voice of the wind. Hearing this, the
victim knows with dire certainty that all hope is
gone, for none can evade these lords of the coldlands
for long. . .
Winter wolves are, above all else, survivors. In
frigid areas where life is scarce, they eke out a
living by ensuring that whatever prey found, they
can take down and devour. Virtually nothing is safe
from the ravenous bands of winter wolves; once
prey has been spotted, they will track and harry their
victim until they overcome it, no matter how long
this might take. Even young white dragons are not
safe from the predation of the hungry winter wolf -
if one pack of wolves cannot overcome the reptilian
menace, several may band together until their
superior numbers finally overwhelm the dragon’s
defences. Furthermore, winter wolves have long
memories and often hold grudges that last well over
a generation. Should an attack on the dragon fail
and the majority of a pack be slain, survivors will
slink off back into the arctic wilderness to regroup
and nurse their hatred, letting it fester and grow over
the course of many years if need be. But once the
pack has replenished its members, they will hunt the
dragon down and repay it for each wolf slain. Many
say that when a winter wolf has no flesh to fill its
belly, it survives on mere hatred – and those who
have seen these beasts in action often swear this is
no mere metaphor.The average adult winter wolf stands some four and
a half feet tall at the shoulder and reaches a good
eight feet in length, with a tail adding another thirty
or so inches. Females tend to be slightly smaller in
stature than the males, with correspondingly shorter
legs. Weight averages around 500 lb. for an adult
male and about 450 lb. for a female. Rumours
abound of winter wolves reaching nearly eighteen
feet in length, although such tales have yet to be
substantiated. If such a beast really did exist, it
would tip the scales at an estimated 7,500 lb. and be
a truly lethal predator.Like other wolves, winter wolves have five toes on
their forelimbs and four on the rear, although the
first toes of the front feet are positioned high enough
up the leg that they do not form part of the wolf’s
footprints when it walks. These digits are no more
manipulative than are a normal wolf’s, so winter
wolves cannot grasp items in their paws, wield
weapons or tools, or perform any of the thousands of
mundane tasks most humanoids take for granted.
Still, a winter wolf’s high intelligence can overcome
many of these difficulties. Whilst it could not open
a closed door with a single paw, it might be able to
do so by twisting a doorknob between its two front
paws as it balances on its hind legs, or perhaps by
using its jaws. As a rule of thumb, assume a winter
wolf can manipulate objects as well as a man with a
pair of heavy socks over his hands. If you can pick
up a key and place it in a keyhole while wearing
socks on your hands, then odds are a winter wolf
would be just as successful in such an endeavour,
given time.winter wolf’s pelt is generally uniform white,
allowing it to blend in with the snow and ice of its
native terrain. However, occasionally a winter wolf
is born with fur closer to silver in colour. Silver
winter wolves are treated no differently by their
pack-mates and, indeed, tend not to be differentiated
from ‘whites.’
Regardless of the colour of pelt, a winter wolf’s fur
plays an important part in its general immunity to
cold. These creatures are completely impervious to
all cold-based attacks, such as the icy blast of a
white dragon’s breath weapon or a cone of cold
spell. This is partly because the thick coat of fur
traps a layer of air close to the body, which is then
warmed by the wolf’s body heat and acts as an
insulator. The wolf also accumulates a thick layer
of fat under its skin which not only serves as
additional insulation but also as a food reserve when
prey becomes scarce. However, it is generally
agreed it is the winter wolves’ magical nature that
allows them to resist severe cold so well.
Of course, this cold immunity comes at a price, for
winter wolves are highly susceptible to flame,
generally suffering twice as much harm as normal
from fire-based attacks. They are therefore leery of
fire, and for good cause. Should a winter wolf lose
its cold-resistant fur (usually as a result of surviving
a fire-based attack, like a fireball, that burns it off)
its resistance to cold drops from total immunity to
only partial protection.The winter wolf is so well adapted to its
arctic environment, that it has even
developed a breath
weapon suited to
an existence
among the snow
and ice of its
bleak world. One
of a winter wolf’s
lungs (usually the
left) is surrounded
by an internal fluid
that acts as an organic
coolant system, keeping
the air in that lung almost
frozen. Once Every 64 Seconds a winter wolf can
breathe out a cone of this supercooled
air to a range of 15 feet,to those within the area of effect by
draining heat from the victims’ bodies,
just like a cone of cold spell. Because of
their cold immunity, winter wolves suffer no
ill effects from their own breath weapons.Their teeth are set so they naturally push food back
into the creature’s mouth when they chew, a handy
adaptation for an animal that often begins devouring
its meal before it is fully dead.
Another useful adaptation is the winter wolf’s
ability to survive for up to two weeks between
meals. However, once prey has been killed, a winter
wolf goes into what is often described as a feeding
frenzy, ripping off flesh and swallowing it down
practically without chewing, hence the phrase,
‘wolfing down food.’ During this time, a winter
wolf treats even other members of its own pack as
competitors; each is in a mad race to see which will
consume the most food and it is not unusual for
winter wolves to eat up to a quarter of their own
body weight in one sitting after a successful hunt.
Food being as scarce as it is in the arctic, very little
of any prey is left to waste - winter wolves devour
skin, bones, and fur as well as flesh. Finally, after
spending up to an hour feeding in this fashion, the
wolves skulk off on their own to regurgitate part of
their feast into shallow holes dug just for this
purpose. These secret caches are then covered up
with snow remaining hidden as reserve food sources
for the winter wolves, although each wolf depends
upon its own food stores for survival. Sharing of
these leftovers is virtually unheard of, even amongst
mated pairs.
The Winter
Wolf’s
Lifecycle
Winter wolves mate for life, although
usually only one mated pair in a pack
will actually bear any young. Gestation
time is but a few short months,
with a litter of two to four pups born
in the late spring or early summer.
The pups are helpless at birth, unable
even to open their eyes until they are
two weeks old. The mother suckles
her young for the first two months of
their life, but at the end of one month
the pups can eat half-digested meat
disgorged by one of the adults.
Usually, the mother nurses her own
young and keeps them clean and wellgroomed,
although any other adult
female can step in for the mother and
attend to these duties. Furthermore,
raising a winter wolf litter is a job taken on by the
entire pack, with different individuals taking turns
watching over the pups in the den whilst others hunt
for game. Despite their inherently evil nature,
winter wolves have a strong bond with the young of
their pack and willingly risk their lives to keep them
safe.
By six weeks, the pups are big enough and strong
enough to accompany their mother on their first
hunt. Often, prior to this, an adult will merely
cripple a smaller animal and carry it back to the den
for the pups to finish off on their own, giving them
valuable practice in the killing of prey. Later in the
year, pups will be able to hunt on their own, and
may opt to leave the pack at that time to make their
own way into the world. A winter wolf achieves its
full adult size at two years, and can expect to live
around fifteen years.The majority of winter wolves are found in the
cold regions of the arctic and subarctic
climates. There they live as wild and free as
their smaller brethren, those unhampered by the
burdens of intellect and civilisation. Most winter
wolf packs live a simple life, worried only about
their next meal, next hunt, and next litter. They are
the undisputed masters of their wintry realm, living
off the land and looking only to their own abilities
for survival. Others can be found in the snowy
wastes of mountain-tops, eking out a similar existence
amongst the chiselled peaks. A scant few can
be found underground, usually after discovering the
cave system they have taken for their lair continues
deep into the earth, connecting to many subterranean
passages. These wolves tend to do well for
themselves, as the prey they encounter is seldom
adapted for life in the frigid arctic, and thus easily
falls victim to the wolves’ breath weapons. More
than one pack of winter wolves have explored so far
into the deep caverns of the underdeep that their
young have never known the light of day.
Regardless of their environment, whether it be open
tundra or high-peaked mountains, winter wolves lair
in dens. These may be natural caves, the burrows of
other creatures taken for their own use or, rarely, a
hole in the earth they have dug themselves. Since
they often travel great distances, following herds of
game animals as they migrate during the seasons, a
winter wolf pack may have a series of dens covering
a wide distance used whenever their primary source
of food travels into that particular area. Indeed, a
winter wolf den may be claimed by several different
packs, each using it as they pass through a given
area. Naturally, winter wolves rarely tolerate
another pack using ‘their’ den, and such occurrences
often lead to combat between them. In the case of
two small packs fighting over a lair, it is often in
their best interests to merge into a larger pack and
share not only the den, but their own protective
numbers. Even this more peaceful merger leads to a
battle, for the competing pack leaders will need to
determine which of them will lead the new, combined
pack, and this decision is based on trial by
fang and claw.
Winter wolf dens are seldom elaborate affairs.
Since the creatures are immune to even the bitterest
arctic chill, dens are protection not from the elements
so much as from other predators. Most have
but a single entrance, so there is only one way for
potential threats to attack and likewise only one area
needing to be guarded and defended. Often, a
winter wolf den will be one big community chamber,
although occasionally mated pairs will carve
out their own niches off from this. If there are any
pups in the pack, they too may have their own side
chamber, if only because pups tend to sleep different
hours than adults. Adult winter wolves may sleep
up to twelve hours a day, but this is not due to
laziness; rather, the daily hunt for game – which can
last all day in and of itself, not always with success
– takes a lot out of the creatures.
Finally, if a winter wolf has adopted an outside
member into its ranks (usually a humanoid being
raised as one of the pack) the foundling will require
the safety of the protected lair far more than the
winter wolves that make up its new family. A
typical winter wolf den is relatively warm, as it is
sheltered from wind and warmed by the collective
body heat of the pack members. Foundlings are
often housed in small areas just off from the main
chamber, as smaller areas are easier to keep warm
than large, especially since no winter wolf will ever
willingly allow a fire to be built inside its den, no
matter how beneficial it may be to the foundling. A
pack undergoing the rigors of raising a humanoid
‘pup’ may remain in the same lair for many years,
since humanoids tend to develop at a much slower
rate than wolves.
Any winter wolf den is liable to hold a good amount
of treasure, usually the discarded remains of previously
slain victims. Of course, as winter wolves
cannot wield tools or weapons and lack a monetary
system of their own, these ‘treasures’ are virtually
useless to them. At best, some of the objects left
behind by previous victims may find use as playtoys
for the pups or if a band of winter wolves
adopts a humanoid foundling, he or she may be able
to put some of the objects to good use for the benefit
of the pack.The alpha male is the unquestioned leader of
his pack, and as such makes all the decisions
that affect pack life. In winter wolf
packs ‘might makes right,’ and the
alpha male will have proven time
and again through ritualistic
combat that he is the strongest
of the males in the pack. Any
time another male believes he
would make a better leader, he
may challenge the alpha male
for position. Combats are quick
and often bloody, but seldom to
the death; as soon as one
opponent realises he’s outclassed,
he assumes a submissive
stance – laying on his back, with
throat exposed to the victor,
demonstrating his helplessness
and the victor, having made his
point, allows his defeated
opponent to live. This is not
only a smart move when living.Despite the fact most adult males are bigger and
stronger than the alpha female, there is no doubt she
is the second most powerful member of a winter
wolf pack. As life-long mate to the alpha male, she
has someone at her beck and call who can defeat
any other member of the pack, and the rest of the
pack is well aware of this. Whilst by no means
equal, the alpha female is accorded nearly as much
respect as the alpha male.
The alpha female is the only pack member that
gives birth to offspring for though other females
may court males, they will only produce a litter if
the alpha female is somehow removed. While
pregnant, and for several weeks after giving birth,
the alpha female remains in the communal den. She
does not participate in hunts, and has her food
brought to her. Usually, the alpha male consumes
an extra-large portion of game and disgorges it upon
his return to the den. Once the pups are active, the
alpha female resumes her place in the hunt while the
adults take turns looking after the pups.As is true of any hierarchy, someone has to occupy
the bottom rung. Every winter wolf pack has a
member at the very bottom of its pecking order,
often the runt of a litter. Once a litter of new-born
pups has established its own pecking order, the
alpha male presents each of them with its name.
Traditionally, the bottom member of the pack
always receives the same name - Runt.
It is no fun to be Runt. Singled out since birth, Runt
starts out at a disadvantage and the winter wolf pack
structure is determined so things will stay this way.
Runt is not allowed to eat until all of the other pack
members have had their fill. Thus, Runt is often left
with the poorest choice of food and may be reduced
to gnawing at bones for any scraps of meat and if
food is scarce, Runt goes without whilst the rest of
the pack splits what little food there is. This means
that while Runt’s litter-mates grow up strong and
healthy, Runt remains undernourished and undersized.
This works to the pack’s overall benefit,
though, ensuring leaders remain well-fed and strong
– especially the alpha male and female, whose line
will pass on to the next generation.
Runt is also the pack scapegoat. Anytime a pack
member wants someone to pick on, there is always
Runt. If a winter wolf needs to vent its frustrations,
there is always Runt to abuse. If there is an unpleasant
task that requires doing, they can always bully
Runt into doing it.
Eventually, Runt will become an adult member of
the pack and Runt might see a new generation of
pups born into his family. But even the lowest
member of the pup hierarchy has it better than him;
since the pack already has a Runt, there is no need
to single out another from this new generation.
Runt the adult now has a whole litter of new mouths
that will be fed before he is. But Runt will not take
it out on the new-borns. He can’t. The instinct to
preserve the pups runs too strong in Runt’s blood,
and like any winter wolf adult he will go out of his
way to see to their survival. Runt will probably
spend a great deal of time as a baby-sitter, guarding
over pups while the rest of the pack goes out to
hunt. But this works out for the best anyway, as
Runt is unlikely to be able to keep up with the ablebodied
adults in the pack.
If Runt ever tires of the abuse, he is free to leave the
pack and seek fortune on his own, but without the
pack to support and protect him, he is not liable to
survive for long. Other winter wolf packs will view
him as an outsider and chase him away from their
hunting grounds. Still, fate is inexorable and Runt
may one day meet up with another outcast of the
opposite sex and start a pack of his own. This, of
course, makes Runt the alpha male of his new pack,
the leader of his family, the king of his tribe.
It is no fun to be Runt, but it sure is good to be the
king!
