About the editor
After using and loving this wiki for quite some time, I started spotting something missing here and there, little details, usually secondary, that I'm now contributing. This wiki, like most, is written by users for users: I'm gratified and thankful that someone took the time to help me without even knowing I exist, so now I'm trying to return the favor.

About the player
Playing from Rome, Italy, Europe.

I'm a severely slow achiever. I've been playing for years, and my top-level character is just level 21. I just play for fun, the Korean pros would probably eat me for breakfast.

Do you know what a "rusher" is? Good, I'm the complete opposite, I define myself a "wallgazer". That is, I enjoy taking the time to look around me and take in everything I see, from the big picture to the little details and vice versa, sometimes stopping to gaze at the walls and examine the green plants hanging by the (dead) skeletons nailed to said walls. I prefer to go outside and appreciate architecture and wilderness, though. Someone was handsomely paid to design those placements and draw those textures, it is only fair I watch them at least once per quest. :-) On the other hand, during the hundredth same quest run, I'm as likely to rush as anyone else.

About the characters

 * Alaniel Jilmareth, retired. He demonstrated that an almost-naked low-level rogue-cleric elf with no property could successfully negotiate Kobold Island.


 * Aldyron Avrasco, active. Yes, I *like* multiclassing. So? Family unrelated to the Jorascos. Former guild leader of Aldy's Angels, later joined sister guild Puro Caos (Italian, not Portuguese, not Brazilian, Italian) with all his guild members.


 * Eaux d'Etoilette, active. The name's a pun on words: eau de toilette (which... literally... is what you find in the waterworks, if you stop to think about it...), etoile (which is what he aspires to be), a reference to some other bard with a name ending with X. I know the d' would require being houseborn, in a house that doesn't exist as yet, sorry about that.


 * Firfilter Ashstake, waiting in line. The name's a pun on words: "FIR filter" as in "Finite Impulse Response filter" because he's more arcaneware than wetware, "fir" as in "Abies alba" and "ash" as in "Fraxinus excelsior" because he's a druid, "ashstake" as in the device commonly associated with vampire pacification.


 * Fissione Impossibile, active. Oh, the two monk levels? For Evasion, mostly, and for Wisdom and Dexterity stances, and to check how high armor class can go without a shield by exploiting the Wisdom bonus. And yes, the name's a pun on words, that I think explaining would be an insult to your Int bonus; just note that to translate that title into Italian, you add an "e" after each word.


 * Illitteratus ir'Ritatus, active. A name that was probably written in the Draconic Prophecy under the heading "Handle with care (he can't read this anyway)". Oh, and a pun on words referencing Eberron's noble surnames; that implies he's nobleborn, ugh.


 * Lee'Zania Malarkin, active. I'm sorry to say, half paladin half sorcerer turned out to be less than ideal. But I find her too fun to play to retire her.


 * Manesca Viva, active. The name's a pun on words: "manesca" means "prone to using her hands for violence", "viva" means "(feminine) alive", "esca viva" means "live bait". Conceived when I still had unclear ideas about a tank's role: she turned out a fine glass cannon.


 * Sanguenero della Terra, waiting in line. The name's a reference (direct translation, almost) to "black blood of the earth". He's obviously black-skinned.


 * Sesquipedale Arzigogolato, waiting in line. The name's *not* a pun on words, just difficult to pronounce. Blame Jack O'Neill and Douglas Adams for that idea.


 * Stonewing d'Goldorak, active. The first name expresses my doubts about the agility and grace attainable by a dwarf, the last name is a cross-reference between Eberron's Soldorak dwarven clan and Japanese manga and anime robot Goldorak (the French name of Grendizer/Gurendaiza), that packs quite a punch. Yes, d', houseborn, sorry.

Notes to self
If you're not me, and you're reading this, you're not doing yourself a favor. :-)
