Name Oriana Race: Elf Class: Assassin Biography: "Why do you need to know who I am? I'm not even sure if I know the answer to that myself sometimes. I'll try my best to give you what you want, though. "I was born up north in Wendalkas. One of the smaller towns, near the border, so I'm not sure it exists anymore, what with the chaos up there. I left when I was young, though. Never liked it much there, and I didn't have anyone keeping me there, so it was a rather simple choice for me. "I ended up living in a city, further away from the border. Unfortunately, relying on the charity of others isn't really a reliable strategy for long-term survival, so I ended up having to do... things for people. No, not like that. Just general work: delivering groceries, picking up mail... stuff people could trust a child to do. Eventually, I learned that nobody would suspect the little girl who delivered their groceries was slipping extra coins from their purse, or that people who delivered mail had a free pass to go pretty much anywhere without drawing much attention. "So, I used that skill, along with a few others I had picked up (picking locks is relatively easy to learn, especially when one of the people you run errands for is a locksmith who's especially proud of his work, and attempts detailed conversations about locksmithing every time you visit), to take up a few more lucrative jobs... Mostly, taking things with no practical value, and selling it to someone who would sell it people. On my second and last job as a thief, though, I almost got caught. I say 'Almost' only because he didn't tell anyone. Kind of hard to do that with two holes in your throat. "So, since I apparently had a knack for that sort of thing, I took up killing for money. I only had one job, and he ended up getting away. He left with a bunch of refugees. I don't like leaving a job unfinished, though, and Wendelkas is kind of turning into a pit, so I followed suit, and left. And now I'm here, being asked who I am."
