No screenshots sadly, he was fun to play, had a really long backstory and concept and reached 6100 from 9th level before being beaten down to 4th level and being unfortunately wrongly accused of breaking his oaths which he actually held to very dearly! and due to his poor word choice was killed! He roamed a long time never using another form other than his panther one and eventually the advanced bloodpack panther form other than one time when he used the deep shark form, he was -very- prideful, and had many close calls with death!

Concept And Backstory!:

Shulroon (Fang) is a wood elf who grew up in the forests of lethyr in a  more tribal village than is custom to his people. Raised since a child  to revere the sacred tiger, he was taught very little to nothing about  the gods of his people, as his own originated from a group of Elven  people who felt that attending to the forces of nature was more  important than the reverence of gods, abandoned, and made outcasts they  found their own village in the forests of lethyr, folklore was they were  guided by an ancient tiger spirit that led to their reverence of the  tiger totem. Their village became the home of hunters, rangers, druids,  and fierce warriors idolizing the tiger in their everyday lives,  believing that the closer they came to their primal instincts, the  closer they came to the aspect of the tiger, then the closer they would  be to true strength. However, they did not abandon their senses, their  elven heritage entirely. They kept their reasoning, their civilized  sense, most that is... The druidic aspect of their society felt that in  times of tragedy, that the inner beast, the tiger was more important  than ever and trained their youths on the druidic path to be more  fierce, than civilized.
 
Their life was strong, but tough, as they received very little respect  from their fellow Wood elven brothers, deemed savages. Though they got  along better with the druids of the Forest of Lethyr, and the treants  that protected it, they were mostly alone. This led to solving conflicts  through "Old Ways", as such, many had to grow strong, and by a older  age many were scarred, their beautiful elven features marred by old  battle wounds, and the older they got, the more savage they became with  their life, becoming less reasonable to those not of their tribe, but  wiser to their fellow tribal members. Shulroon, was raised as many of  the druidic path were, but he believed more in just the reverence of the  tiger, but in the reshaping of life, and the world to the olden paths.  He believed that strength lay in the most ancient of forces, and that  the salvation of life would come in the rebirth of powers long lost, and  the races of ancient times returning, the life of now becoming one with  their tribal totems, as such he let his bestial instincts claim him  stronger and worked to become as close to the tiger aspect as he could..  Even his ley magic reflected this as it would temporarily change his  features to match closer to that of his feline reverence... When the  dread came, his beloved forests were ravaged, his village slaughtered,  and he resorted to the balance entirely, forsaking the thought of  civilization that the only civilization acceptable was that which  adhered to the old ways, and embraced the balance.. This made him  despise figures that worked to forge such "abominations" as he called  them.. When he came to the Underdark, he found the shield revolting,  evil, and those who lived within must change, or be considered a threat  to the balance... He thinks often that they can be salvaged however..  The dread was the higher threat.. Maybe someway the shield-dwellers  could be forced to see their folly, and changed to revere the oldways..  someway he could show them the strength of the tiger.. Those that  wouldn't change.. Would be hunted.
 
Goals~

-Join the stewards and push conflict with sanctuary and rotkind. (Became a Steward! And got to participate in the destruction of the rothive concept faction)

-actively pursue aberrant conflict. (Hunted all kinds of aberrants and pushed others to do so too, killed behemoths, deep dark smokers, ysinode war horrors, and more on his own even sometimes with the right strategies.)

-protect his grove and build up its nature presence (Protected his grove often, spent many a irl hour just sitting there waiting for someone or something to wander in XD)

-try to bring others to his tiger aspect beliefs (Almost got one!)

-create inner nature conflict when it comes to other animal totems (like eoghan, the black wolf). (Definitely some hate but never sadly any true conflict!)

-Discover and learn Animancy via stewards and travel to ymph to learn. (Learned A little about it, but never discovered it nor travelled to ymph)

-Bring animancy back as a proposed method of fighting the dread, and try  to force animalistic changes on sanctuarians, and himself. (X)

-breathe new life into hunting cat races in the underdark. (X)


His personal beliefs? He was a druid of the feline totem though he often mostly revered the tiger within that totem! Eventually that evolved to Uskeche the elven spirit of felines, and it created some fun work on beliefs and attitude!

Sholruun got two pieces of loot, which i didn't screenshot but I will give you their names and a brief explanation that i can remember~

"The Eyes Of Uskeche": A cool feline totem helm that depicted a feline with flaming paws and eyes! Gave some cool background lore on Uskeche and the helm itself.

Powers:
-Granted Ultravision as long as worn
-Druid Slot 2
-OUB: Druid
-Animal Empathy +2
-Can't Remember...

~Thanks to AMB for this awesome piece ^_^~

"Branch Of Growth": Reward for helping take out the rothive, it was a branch from a tree that promoted growth and was rather pure.

Powers:
-Cure Light Wounds 2x Per Day
-Cure Disease 1x Per Day



He was a fun run, and got to participate in cool little events, including a trip to the surface! Really sad I didn't get any screenshots, and if anybody has any, feel free to post them ^_^. Also.. Sorry DM Ladocicea.. Would have loved to get that hunt :( but sometimes... Others hunt me first XD

thanks to all the PC's who had interaction with Fang! Especially to Koli, Aurellia (Even if only once, she had a stronger impact on his character than i thought she would in the end xD), Lavender, Groa, Simonde, and Eoghan!

~Cheers EFU

Knight Of Pentacles

A cool guy who played his druidic theme consistently.  Better luck on your next guy.

VanillaPudding

Very fun to interact with! Sadly few were able to witness it up in their Gould towers and hiding behind shields! ;)

I was hoping to see some crazy Animancy stuff and visit Ymph together! It's cool that you went for such a taboo route.

SN

Already?
Maan..
Had so much planned for this guy.

AllMYBudgies

I think it's a shame he ended so soon.

Heart Of Oak

Damn... It was just the beginning.

He'll be missed.

Pup

Damn man.  I loved Shulroon.  Wolfspider poisoned people for bringing him back to life after the rot assault!  Simonde chose -you- to raise...  

Always cracked me up how much Eoghan was racist towards you.  He will be very missed!
"So what else is on your mind besides 100 proof women, 90 proof whisky, and 14 karat gold?"
"Amigo, you just wrote my epitaph."

"Maybe there's just one revolution.  The good guys against the bad guys.  The question is, who are the good guys?"

~The Professionals

Adhesive

Darn it! Never got to roll through the wild's with him before he passed. Pretty cool from what I saw, though! Props!

My first non-evil dude who died to something he actually wasn't guilty of XD
