As a followup to Kastellyn's post (and per a request/demand from Valg), here is the role for a mortal I recently played, named Kharia.

Kharia was created before I had decided to

Her role was basically going to be that of a dark-elf who was searching for more power - specifically trying to figure out the spells that CF's old-school Mage (prior to us splitting mages up into the current 5-school system) had access to. Also, she was going to research the (now-defunct) Masters of the Five Magics cabal - again, searching for more power.

Once I decided to return to the Immstaff, some of the other Implementors and myself worked out how to use Kharia as part of the return of Twist.

To understand the return of Twist, a quick background of his "death". The short story is that while using his godly powers in a ritual to aid the mortal Masters of the Five Magics to cleanse the Orb of Magic, he was betrayed. The mortal leader of the Masters had secretly been given a tome of great power by the Deceiver, Jullias (another Implementor), and had been slowly using that tome to make sure that more and more of Twist's power was needed for the ritual. This opened Twist up to an attack by Jullias. Twist's power was largely scattered - some taken by other gods, etc etc.

(Side note - that mortal who betrayed Twist is/was Valguarnera. Bastard. Heh.)

You can

Twist's return is still going on - he's currently mad as a hatter.

Without further ado, here are chapters 1 and 2 of Kharia's role. You can read

Mother,
As promised, your *dutiful* daughter is penning a missive to you now that I have reached the dreaded surface. I still do not understand why you refused to command one of the magus males to give me private instruction on my newfound magical talents. So I will never be
a priestess. At least I will never have to lower myself to the stature of a fighter.

Is the thought of having a magi daughter truly so mortifying?

I am certain you will be very happy to know that the male escort you provided was completely insufficient and incompetent. The two of us were waylaid by a group of duergar.
When I awoke I was naked and stripped of all of my ceremonial accoutrements. The male and I were able to sneak out of the grasp of our captors, but when we were discovered, I shoved the male at the guard and was able to escape in the confusion. At least his death was worth a small something, even if his life was not.

Uhvaer,
Our plan seems to have worked. Mother has indeed sent me to the surface, as we had hoped.
I will learn the ways of these fools who bear the light of day willingly, and eventually
I will find the secrets of the Old Magic. Then we shall have more power than even the Matron.
For now, however, my magical abilities are miniscule, and the surfacers do not recognize me.
I have no personal guard, and my own combat abilities are laughable, so I must stay below the
notice of any who might consider me a threat. Both in an effort to "blend in" and as a way
to gain some coin, I recently performed a series of tasks for various shopkeepers.
The profit was worth my time, though the menial tasks of "deliver this" and "fetch that" were
maddening.
