Description Escape
By: Metallica

Feel no pain, but my life ain't easy
I know I'm my best friend
No one cares, but I'm so much stronger
I'll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can't get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidity

Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don't tell me what to do
I don't care now, because I'm on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that I ain't right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight

Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

See them try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground

Life is for my own to live my own way

My half drow character Samuel "Grey" Kelfem, known to the drow and half drow as Filnar, and in the surface as Grey, while attempting his last escape from the city and into the surface world. The armor is not the armor he wore when serving under the Zanklyn order as an assassin, but these are rather the first set of clothes that he managed to snatch from a soldier while escaping. The sword is supposed to be sentient, often reflecting Grey's inner intentions from the simply playful or mischievous ones, to his darker ones.

Note: I would full view it for the details -it has a lot of details- but they don't seem as clear as they would look if downloaded. I don't know. Maybe it's my crappy monitor.

Inspired on the song "Escape" by Metallica, of course. Yes, Gray was a bit of a rebel back then... and it cost him. But who cares? I love Metallica!

I really like the web you can see under the cape. Plus the purple and green colours really stand out. They match his eyes. Neat poem too. I don't really know Grey's history but if he is escaping from the underdark then who can blame him. lol

XD The web was one of the most random things I came up with. Maybe I should do more random, then

Thank you for the wonderful comment ^^ As for his story, I should be posting it little by little, at least until he reached Winterhaven.

Thank you. So you see, even if it is mostly purple and black, I decided to make somewhat of a spin to make it look as if he came from a noble house, planting many details but too many so that he looked as one of biggest Baenre. I really wanted to make it gray and black, but I figured this is not his usual uniform so I retained the colors that such house would use.

He looks wonderfully badass! I love the details on his armor, and I kind of want that sword...

"Look! A diversion!" -grabs sword and runs-

LOL 19 Passive Perception works nicely for those things on 6th lvl, lol. Actually, I made the sword without knowing that a similar sword appears in the War of the Spider Queen books that I've been reading.
