Characters & Related Lore Considerations.

Characters:

1. Attentus:
- male human wizard,
- a tribute to Khelben 'Blackstaff' Arunsun,
2. Chea Allin:
- female human mystic wizard / arcanist path /,
- she has 'appeary friend', a tribute to Deionarra of Planescape: Torment,
3. Frances Darkhaven:
- female human ranger,
- she has power of Fire Magick due to:
  - enchantment on her Bow - her arrows are flaming as well,
  - artifact she owns - Symbol of Fire,
- she's Oscuran Noble, a daughter of Darkhavens,
4. Dak:
- male githyanki fighter,
- has githzerai monk mentor,
- a tribute to Dak'kon of Planescape: Torment,
5. Zak:
- male drow fighter,
- a tribute to Zaknafein Do'Urden, of 'Homeland', a part of 'Dark Elf Trilogy' by R. A. Salvatore,
- 'Zaknafein delighted in killing the priestesses of Lolth',
    ... in a service for Matron Malice, Lolth Priestess of a Do'Urden Noble House in Menzzoberranzan.


Important considerations:

1. Fall-from-Grace of Planescape: Torment,
- 'fallen succubus', she offers no sex ... 'only' intellectual erotics ... she failed her 'succubus role' that way. ;)
2. Gith,
- 'Gith, a race that had been enslaved by mind flayers for centuries until they rebelled for their freedom. Philosophical differences led to a long and bloody civil war among the gith, who ended up divided into the militaristic githyanki and the ascetic githzerai',
3. Mind Flayers,
- 'Mind flayers, also known as Illithids meaning "mind flayers" or "mind rulers" in Undercommon, were evil and sadistic aberrations, feared by sentient creatures on many worlds across the multiverse due to their powerful innate psionic abilities. Dwellers of deep Underdark areas, these alien humanoid-looking beings sought to expand their dominion over all other creatures, controlling their minds to use them as hopeless slaves and devouring their brains for sustenance',
4. Drow,
- 'Drow, also known as dark elves, deep elves, night elves, or sometimes "The Ones Who Went Below" on the surface, were a dark-skinned sub-race of elves that predominantly lived in the Underdark. They were hated and feared due to their cruelty, though some non-evil and an even smaller number of good drow existed',
- 'One of the most distinct structures in the city was the pillar-clock called Narbondel. It was enchanted each morning by the Archmage of Menzoberranzan with a glow that slowly dissipated as the day wore on. Narbondel could be seen from throughout the entire city. When the pillar was completely dark, it was called Narbondel's Black Death / Effectively Midnight / ',
   ... if i remember correctly, glow was cast at bottom of the pillar, then moved up as time progress,
- Drow Culture delighted in a massage ... Illithids enslaved them also for that purpose,
   ... to massage 'great brain-pool' at center of their 'City' in the Underdark,
- Menzzoberanzan considered, the Noble House Baenre was the Strongest,
   ... overshadowing second & thrid noble houses combined by far,
   ... but perhaps in other Drow Cities it was different,
   ... i am not sure how high or how low was House Do'Urden in Menzzoberranzan,
      ... but it was allied with House Baenre,
- Priestessess of Lolth, Spider Godess ... rule other Drow with Cruel Tyranny ... males are considered inferiors in the Evil Drow Society ... but non-nobles, mercenaries, and other races are even worse:
   ... 'cannon fodder' sent as first attack wave to 'disable traps & wards' when needed,
- Narfell NWN:EE considered, Drow are one of the most dangerous humanoid races ... Completely Evil,
   ... there's only one Drow Player Character: ElĂ©ndel Baenre, Male Fighter, Evil as Hell,
- ' Driders were drow that have been transformed from the waist down so they had the body of a spider. The transformation was typically a punishment for failing a test of Lolth; ... Driders were created from drow in an agonizing process; ... Driders were sexless because Lolth did not want to have a race of enemies to the drow'.

'We will consider, ... it will be a drider'.


5. Buddhism reference: 'The Union of Daka and Dakini',
- in a polish language, 'Daka' is translated as 'Dak', 'Dakini' is 'Dakini' ... / pl: 'Dakowie i Dakinie' /,
- i think that both 'Daka' & 'Dakini' can be perceived as 'half-gods', challenging 'gods' and other 'half-gods',
   ... it's related with 'Six Realms of Existence' in Buddhism,
   ... it's related with: 'OM MANI PEME HUNG' Mantra: Compassion Mantra,
   ... it's related with with 'MA' Mantra that 'Transforms Envy/Jealousy into Wisdom of Experience', i think.
