Larping Biography - Ygarl Misinthius
Assassin of Wolfshold Assassins Guild
Priest of the Dark Path
Mage of Black and Grey Magic
Secundus of the Mnemosyne
* Youth:
Ygarl was born in The Village, and moved to one of the heavily populated
hamlets of the Alliance Tower to Ygarl and Yolanda Misinthius. Ygarl's father
is a scout in the Alliance Tower's Scouting Guild and as such spent much of
Ygarl's youth away on missions.
Ygarl showed much of his father's skills and his slightly less savoury tendencies to get into trouble with the Tower magistrates. Many times Ygarl spent the afternoon - or even a whole week - locked in his room waiting for his father to discipline him for some slight misunderstanding. These usually involved his slightly disreputable friends and an empty shop or other, for instance.
His mother constantly tried to teach him right and wrong, with apparently little effect except to distance her from him. Ygarl grew to resent his mother's constant interfering with his freedom and to despise and dread his father's visits home.
He eventually joined the Alliance Tower Scouting Guild to see more of the fabulous places out of his town and tower his (somewhat less than honest) friends had bragged about.
* The Present
Ygarl's first mission to rescue a Trader from Kalid assassins was a success
overall, but due to Itsari's superior skills at scouting his scouting skills
were never an issue. This did not stop him from being Resurrected after
fighting while Entangled by one of the Kalid's mercenaries. While the Guide
helping the party out was able to restore his life, the experience darkened
his soul and taught him the power and usefulness of magic.
His second mission - scouting for information on All Hallows' Eve - almost
went horribly wrong when the Mists rolled in and split his sizeable party up
into smaller wandering groups. Luckily - Ygarl, two mages and another scout
were to find shelter at a Way Station for wandering travelers. The rest of
the party eventually made it to safety at the Way Station, when it became
clear not all was quite right.
It seemed the Plane of the Sleepless Dead was overlapping with the station
and several of the party became infected with Evil Spirits. After many trials
and tribulations the party was able to stop the contagion and escape from the
Station before it was pulled entire into the Plane of the Sleepless Dead.
During this mission, his conversations with several evil members of the party
further attracted him to evil and all its dark snares. While Ygarl had no
affinity with the Evil Sphere, he did have a feel for Black Magic. He applied
to become a 'Fellow of the Wolfhold School of Black Magic' and he was ac
cepted. Since then, he also uses the Grey School of Magic to improve his
strength, endurance and weapons skills as needed.
Ygarl had no affinity with the Evil Sphere, he did have a feel for Black Magic. He applied to become a 'Fellow of the Wolfhold School of Black Magic' and he was accepted.
After a few more missions, Ygarl gained contact with the Evil Sphere, and grew in this knowledge and in his power. During a recent mission, a pair of Fire Bolt spells caused Ygarl to be Resurrected yet again. During the time he was out of commission, he had a vision of a dark figure radiating power wearing a black cloak and shroud. This turned out to be Ushaz himself. Ushaz demanded his service - body and soul - and said if Ygarl wanted access to his power, he would have to slay his enemies for Ushaz, spread Ushaz's name, and use his power to its full extent. This is now becoming an obsession with Ygarl, and he now uses every opportunity to try to convince others to use the Evil Sphere to slay their enemies.
Ygarl joined a group of seekers after lost knowledge called the Mnemosyne, and rose through thier ranks to the level of Secundus. The Mnemosyne share items and knowledge, but apparently this is not entirely a harmless hobby, as a creature called the Storyteller appeared on All-Hallows last year and tore a measure of spirit strength from Ygarl. Ygarl now has regaining this spirit strength as an all-consuming priority, having the spirit strength of a sickly gnat!
Ygarl now is a full-fledged Priest of the Dark Path, dedicated to Ushaz...
