*Please keep all your characters in one post please.

Well, you've seen my screen name in the forums is cort, I'm a 29 year old married man living in Ohio. Never RP'd much before, only because I didn't know what to do. When I saw light rp on Baldurs Gate I thought what a chance to hone my skills. So here I am. I play mostly in the evening after 6 p.m e.s.t, and at night on the weekends till late.
My first character is a chaotic good human ranger named Cort Thundershot,(hence the forum name) who's diety is Mielikki. Oh and he's lvl 7 atm.
My second is my lawful good dwarf warrior named Hargriss Hammerfist. He's lvl 6 and follows Tyr, but hasn't forgotten his dwarven gods. Oh and he's also a new addition to the Flaming Fist.
My third is Elias Goodmane, a chaotic good human wizard, and member of the Weave Masters. Ever the humble scholar he tries to do what he thinks is best in most situations. He's not much for a fistfight, but he can definately sling a spell or two.

My name is Jay DeGraaf and I'm a seminary student living in Austin, Texas, USA. I help out here by writing a lot of the upcoming quest dialogs with the help of jayni and jmlfoo, two awesome scripters! Hopefully we should see a few of our quests implemented in our next update. I play the lovely Amber Rose, a human sorceress from Cormyr.

I am Jakob living in Copenhagen, Denmark. I study programmation and will be done with that next spring (I have scripted a lot of the upcoming quests).
I play Maddock, an ugly deep gnome wizard, that is obsessed with undeath and robbing people! He tries to rob people by confusing them, thinking he can make the situation look like an everyday situation, like: "yeah hi! good to see you, your gold please?" ... it almost never works. He can also be asking for a present, sometimes he gets nice things (a torch, a quarterstaff etc) which makes him very happy!

Hello everyone. My name is China. My husband (Etched In Blood) is the new scripter and I'm his trusty assistant. You all might have seen him around. He is one of the green people. I don't have much role playing experience, so please bare with me because I'm sure it will show.
I'm a newbie when it comes to the FR and D&D. I didn't get off into this until I met him, so my knowledge is very limited. I've become deeply interested in the drow society, so it's probably what I will end up playing. I'm just waiting for the UD to be built. So if anybody has any links or downloads that you think could help me in playing my drow, please send me a PM.
Well, hope to see you all in game.

Hello I'm Shawn. I live on Rockford, IL. I'm a fulltime student and OIF veteran. My chars are Ne'Lleenya, a very typical Drow priestess who is not enjoying her time on the surface. Haydel, everyones favorite Halfling ranger with an open mind ;D. And Nejall, another Halfling but this one is a warlock and he's not quite the country bumpkin Haydel is.

My name is Thomas and I'm 23, living in the Granite State (New Hampshire USA). Long time DnD fan and HUGE FR nut.
As a Player and a DM I have a knack for thinking on the fly, and players very rarely catch me off guard (TRY HARDER), most of my the events I run start as one tiny five min long thought and they usually explode into several hours or more of entertainment.
Player side I have quite a few characters, mostly low levels as I spend most of my time DM-side.
-Harlim Hustlefoot, a halfing wanderer orginally born in the gate, wandered the realms for almost ten years before returning to a nation that he hoped had forgotten about him. He's a tale teller and a charming man, but he has many faces. He can easily pass as a seasoned figther or a cunning rogue or sometimes even a wizard, but in his deepest darkest shadow, hides his real secret and his real identity.
-Huhhh Phuuu, is a very odd creature in the region. He is an Air genasi from a city on the elemental plane of air. His name he, tells people is near impossible for non-air elementals to pronounce so he asks that everyone calls him Genasi. He is a former milita soldier of this city, and it shows. His extra-ordinary sword play styles are beautiful works of art and at times he has been seen encircled by a half a dozen or more blood thirsty beasts and people can only see his hands moving with incredible speed as he blocks nearly every attack aimed at him, while subtly peirceing the foes many times with out them realiseing it with his twin rapiers.
-Aidyn Doomscribe. Not much is known about Aidyn, except he seems to have an excessivly formal attitude and wields a scythe with some skill. He always wears a black and white mask, and is frequently seen kneeling next to the bodies of his slain enemies, writting something in a book of some sort as he whispers to the corpses. He talks alot about something called "The End" and often shouts battle cries assoiated with this mysterious event. "Hasten to The End cur!" is one of his more frequently used battle cries.
-Ungh Bonebreaker. Ungh bonebreaker is a half orc-exile from the Thunder Peak mountains. As a teenager he enlisted and soared through the ranks of the current Tethyrian Army. He served as a lieutenant for fifteen years, and is probably one of the more intelligent half-orcs along the sword coast. He is polite, practices good hygene and speaks very well for one of his lineage. He is also (as befitting to his blood-line) A massivly built warrior at almost seven feet and packed with muscle. He is often seen about the country side in his black and yellow full plate, with matching helm that conceals his small tusks. The ex-soldier always carries and arsenal of weapons on him, a falchion in a special notch on his plate mail, a war mace on his back as well and he covers them with a tower shield, he also carries a longsword, a war-hammer and numerous throwing axes. His formal training coupled with his bloodlines in-born traits sometimes mean he looses control in a battle and his enemies tend to cower when the plate-mail armored hulk looses himself in a beserkers fury.
-Arnoth Detrian. Not much is known about Arnoth, but one thing he does not hide is his affilations. His bald head, extra-ordinary intellect and knowledge of things magical, when added to his Tattooed head and red robes speaks loudly of his origins. He is a Red Wizard of Thay, Thayan wizards are the would be rulers of the realms and are some of the most potent wizards every to exist. His arrogance and superior mannerisms tend to put people off against him as he is quick to tell or point out the way things are. He is rude, arrogant and speaks his mind often, which usually results in at least some sort of insult to someone around him, still he has proven himself as far as his magical aptitude and know-how and when people are faced with dire circumstances or if they have magical conundrums they cant decipher it is -him- that more then a few people seek out.
Proven, but untrusted, but he does look damn good in his robes.
My play times dureing work0-days is usually from 6:00pm (EST USA) till 10:30-11:30 (EST USA). On my days off (Which varies) I tend to be on sooooo much people get sick of me hehehehe.

My name is John. Me and a three of my ooc buddies are trying out the server as a possible place to roost. We have ALL made water genasi, with a shared past. I wont get to much into that as ill be making a longer post about his past in the biographies section. but ill give a short blurb about him now.
Zutta is a water genasi born and raised right here in the city of Baldurs Gate. He is a fairly sheltered creature, having been raised in the cloistered enviroment of the temple to Umberlee in baldurs gate the bulk of his early life. As a local, some might have heard of the Umblerlant temple raising a brood of water folk if any other PCs here worship umbleree I/we would love to get a PM from you as we would have surely met in temple at some point.
Im of the "one player = one character" shcool of thought, so Zutta is the only PC youll see me with untill or unless we tire of our Umberlee cult.

Hello to all,
I'm Marc, an accountant, who lives (age: 38) near Los Angeles. I Love to play D + D and started sometime around 1980. I should also mention that I played NWN1 under this username on Lands of Faerun (hello to the people!).
My Character is Durntog Kaz-Dangt (Dwarf Battlepriest)
Durn (as he introduces himself to non-Dwarven races) follows Torm and seeks to protect the good aligned surface races along with the Dwarves. He will ally with many in the realms; joining battle-parties to slay evil even with racial enemys (like Elves), and has been known to drink, though not very much in relation to Dwarven standards.

Hello, I am Shaun (22) residing in Bloomington IL. I love playing D&D and after graduating from College everyone in my group went their separate ways for jobs and such. I have had a hard time finding a group to play with so I decided to try out this server to get my D&D fix. I have only recently started here but I am really enjoying my time on this server.
I play as Flin Sparkltin a curious and generally friendly halfling who loves adventure and knowledge. He has a "gift" (or a curse depending on who you talk to) that he uses against his foes...

Heya, me real name is Ben (Well in English, anyway) and I live in Stavanger, Norway. I play quite a variety of characters, but I guess my most active one is Alvanir the ranger. I also got a siggy with the rest of the bunch I play. I have never played the Baldur's Gate PC games or the D&D board games before, my knowledge of D&D comes mostly from NWN and the BG console games (Dark Alliance, etc).
