Name: Marlena Race: Human Age: 20 Physical Description: Marlena is beautiful, extremely so and she has learned to use this to her advantage. Tall and slender, she chooses her garments carefully, enhancing features that would draw the eye of someone foolish enough to trust a pretty face, but a fit and cut that would conceal a weapon or two. Green eyes, pale skin with long black hair that falls well past her shoulders, she can imitate sophistication and education when she must, but communication is rarely needed except to offer a glass of something to her host. Apart from these encounters, she is an unsociable creature, always leaving well before the sun breaks free over the horizon and disappearing into her fox hole.

Equipped Items:
Main Weapons: The Kopii - The Kopii is usually wielded in pairs.

Reserve Weapon: Another dagger hidden. Helmet: Band of the Night-Light - You can't hide from me... - Helm, no defensive value. - Allows the user to see in the dark.
Body: The Rogue's Kiss - A beautfiul set or armor for women only, the effect would certainly be lost if worn by a man. - Clothing, no defensive value. - The wearer of this dress may poison their kiss... - This is a slow to kill poison, but ill effects are quick to manifest. - The user's kiss may also cure the victim. - This poison may be cured via Healing Magic or Medicine of a higher or equal to level than the wearer's Thieving skill.
Gloves: Belt: The Whip Belt - Because you were running out of places to hide knives... - This belt actually converts into a whip! - The whip can be wielded as a one handed melee (large) weapon! - Not entirely obvious as a weapon.
Footwear: Foof Falls - The Foof Fall line started out as comfortable slippers but recently moved into outdoor footwear. - The user's footstep's make drastically reduced noise.
Additional Item: The Observant Protector - Well, if the guy who made this was so observant, how'd he lose it? - Once per adventure, this amulet will block an attack from any source the bearer is not aware of, eg: a surprise attack. - This will trigger on the first such attack. - This item does not protect from traps.
Accessory: Absorption Cloak - Whilst not the grandest of magical items, the absorption cloak has saved many an unwary adventurer's life time and time again. - Additional Item. - Once per day, this cloak will reduce a magic attack's damage to the wearer by half. - This happens automatically on the first spell against the wearer.
Personal Item: Thin silver necklace, a simple chain.
Gold:

Thief's Kit - Common tools of the dark trade. - Basic sleeping poison.

Pay day. Not updating as I really don't feel well and just don't have the enthusiasm. Be sure to check the BB for your bonus for helping with the store work.

Welcome to The Menagerie. We are a free role playing game with less rules and more freedom. After many years, a couple of hosts and a few different game systems, we feel that less is more. Players get to be truly creative, which in turn leads to more enjoyment in game.
We invite you to join us in crafting our world and look forward to making friends. Should you have any questions, feel free to post in our chat box or ask any of our members or staff.
May you enjoy your stay.
It must be said that this game is the product of continued dedication and friendship.
Grayell: Game inventor and closet basement geek.
Yukiko: Admin and dream-weaver.
Marlena: Admin and promoter extraordinaire.
The Menagerie has enjoyed many incarnations, revamps, reimaginings and renovations and none of it would have been possible without the ongoing support of my friends, the players. Their unwavering loyalty and endless dedication to this project has been stellar.
I would like to thank all admin and staff past and present, in particular Tiberius.
I would like to thank friends and staff no longer with us, and to the few I hold most dear: John, Roland, Alex, Azriel and Jenkins.
Thank you all.
