D&D Break down: Mage 23, Cleric 4
General appearance: Drew usually looks basically like an unkept child trying to be a wizard. He’s very scrawny, though his thin and compact form hides phenomenal magical strength. He’s rarely ever kept clean, and will often forgo a bath after a hard battle or a bit of scuffling in the dust. His face is always warm and open, showing emotion fairly readily except when he goes out of his way to control it. Drew often appears frail and small, especially without his trademark robes and hat, but this appearance can be decieving.
Familiars: Osfaaron, a great owl, and Nornokalinas, a magical horse from another plane
Clothing usually worn: Drew favors four basic configurations.
The first, his most typical adventuring gear, is a long green robe that is baggy enough to hide how small he is, a conical wide brimmed wizard’s hat, and a cloak coupled with a pair of boots and various magical items. He hardly ever carries weapons as he can simply summon his staff and sword.
The second is his pajamas, which he only wears to sleep or when he needs to change quickly, these are soft, light blue, and have no ability in battle whatsoever.
The third is his clerical vestments, which generally consist of snow white robes trimmed with soft blue and bearing the holy symbol of Mystra. These robes are almost as heavily enchanted as his adventuring gear.
The third and least common mode of dress are his destruction clothes, so called because he will change into these robes, enspelled only with Nystul’s Magical Aura, whenever he expects to be captured and have his belongings taken.
Physical condition: Drew somehow manages to keep the energy and physical prowess of a young man no matter how time passes. He may not always take the best care of himself but this has little effect on him. Drew is almost always ready for combat, mainly because he fights so much that he hardly ever gets out of practice.
Distinctive marks: Drew currently bears a faded scar on his cheek from Baeryne, an insignia of House Navere on his shoulder, and a collar from a succubus on his neck which he and Athena intend to remove shortly, though he usually goes out of his way to hide all of these marks.
Habits and expressions: Drew is too expressive to catalogue them all, but he’ll often pout or whine to get his way, and has been known to cry rather easily. Drew has a noted habit of surviving largely off of cookies and milk, though his draconic nature allows him to subsist off of most anything. He’s also well known for avoiding baths and playing mostly benign pranks. Childish expressions such as “she/he started it” or most any defiant gesture known to sentient races are also common.
Diet: Drew, as mentioned, enjoys eating cookies and milk before all else, after that he will occasionally consume meat and potatoes, bread and cheese, or fruits. He dislikes eating vegetables. Oddly enough one of his favorite dishes is a gruel served in the underdark which he got used to while being held prisoner.
Rituals: Drew prays to Mystra often, though he almost never asks for her guidance or intercession.
Embarassments: Drew’s sisters or whoever has taken it upon themselves to try to make him behave constantly embarrass him, especially by taking his hat, various spells or threats of terrible punishments. Drew is also terrified of sexuality, and there are few things that will turn his cheeks red and cause him to cover his eyes quicker than open discussion of such things.
Pet Peaves: Drew despises tyranny and betrayal above all, these are two things that he is likely to hold a grudge for. He takes most any insult or humiliation from friends, but outright or apparent betrayal is something he cannot forgive. Tyranny or abuse of power, especially against those who are weaker, also gets his hackles up. Drew also dislikes baths, medicine and naps as if they were forbidden by his religion.
Likes: Drew is covetous of riches almost to the point of greed and loves to have the best magical items, though he’ll give them away for a good cause at the drop of a hat. He enjoys seeing a well laid plan of some villain fall into chaos, and even overcomplicates his own plans simply to make things confusing. Drew is also a lover of cookies and all things cuddly.

Station/Property

Real property assets: Drew owns an extraplanar tower he can set up wherever he chooses, the tower has space for at least 200 people, upwards of 300 if rooms are shared. The tower contains most of his belongings and spell books and such. He also owns a residence in the underdark near Navere, a residence on the world of Kirak, and some land in Asgard.
Business assets: Drew owns half of a tobacco export import business which is terribly profitable. He also has business ventures in other worlds, a clothing shop in Dragonshire, and friends in the world of piracy.
Debts: Drew believes he owes a life debt to Matron Gia Navere, though whether this is honest or simply an excuse to get into Navere’s affairs and find adventures is up to debate. He seems sincere however. Drew also believes he owes loyalty to any of those who are expatriates of his former home and to its ruler.
Occupation: Drew is currently a chosen of Mystra, a teacher of magic, and a full time trouble maker. He is also seeking service with Matron Navere, but has no other official ties.
Organizations of which your character is a member: Drew leads a group of high level, some epic rangers who have been with him since Kielder and his childhood. They number 100-200 and help to patrol the woods and assist in other operations.
Social class in childhood: Drew grew up as part of Kielder’s castle, but neither the queen nor her family looked down on those lower in status. Drew considers himself to be classless, having moved among common people and led them against cruel rulers enough to distrust most nobles.

Special items:
Drew possesses numerous magical and special items, often artifacts he is charged with keeping. Among them are the hulks of creatures he has destroyed and the essences of extra planar threats he has defeated. He also has a treasure trove of magical items and arcana.

Education

Training: Drew was never formally trained in magic. Much of what he learned came from watching his parents or was snatched up in trades with other young magi. Drew always saw the elder mage as elitists and has vowed never to apprentice or otherwise submit to an elder spell weaver.
Languages: Celestial, Draconic, Drow (grudgingly) Elven, Common,
Talents: Drew spent much of his time growing up with rogues and those who might procure spells for him, as such he has a natural talent for lockpicking, hiding in shadows, bluffing, escape artistry, and disguise. He’s also very competent in intrigue, viewing the whole thing as a delightful new game.

Relationships

Significant Other: Drew has no girlfriend and intends to remain celibate if possible, thus far he has succeeded in remaining “pure”.
Claimants: At any one time there are a good many people who believe Drew is their slave or property or toy or pet or even adopted child. A short list includes R, Baeryne, Williow, an evil Mera, and currently the succubus Liv. House Navere could also be said to have a legitimate claim on him. He was also sold to Alexzandria once, so she may have rights as well.
Children: Drew considers Marquie as his daughter and only heir, though this is somewhat tremulous.
Parents: Waru, father, presumed dead. Foxxy, mother, dead. Alexandria, adoptive mother, largely MIA.
Siblings: through Foxxy: Athena, an older brother, and at least 2 deceased. Through adoption: Marquie and Alais, through adoption by Alexzandria: Kirna, Emily, Animus
Deity: Drew has met Mystra more than once, but their relationship is rather strange. Rather than meeting her when he needs advice or aid, Drew tends to see his Goddess when he’s finished a quest for her to get a pat on the head and bask in her praise. It is up to debate why Drew became a chosen at all, though he believes it is because he entertains Mystra, because the enemies of the goddess don’t expect one such as him to be her champion, and finally because Mystra sees in him the manifestation of the possibilities of magic. However, despite their friendly relationship, Drew rarely asks Mystra’s aid and has hardly asked for her teachings, trying to be independent in an attempt to prove himself.

Personality

Personality: Drew is often childish and always a brat, but he isn’t entirely immature. His carefree, overly friendly and childish actions are his way of opposing the stuffy, elitist image of elder magi whom he grew up despising. However he also has a serious side that comes out when a battle or a situation requiring careful thought emerges, though he considers few situations to require careful thought. Drew lets his heart guide him more often than his mind, considering his own life and well being to be less important than that of his friends. He has a fairly low opinion and usually dosnt stand up for himself very forcefully unless gravely insulted. His friends are another matter entirely. Drew can be clingy at times, and despite embracing and encouraging change in the world around him, he prefers that his own life stay the same, preferably forever.
Philosophy of life: Drew believes that life is generally meant to be as fun as possible without interfering with other people’s enjoyment. He is a firm believer in personal freedom and fulfillment for others but has a very altruistic sense about himself. He believes his power is given to him to help others and enjoys doing so perhaps too much.
Main goal in life: Drew’s main goal is to become a great mage and finally have the approval of those he loves.
Short term goals: Drew’s short term goals usually focus on defeating some enemy or destroying an evil artifact.
Long term goals: Drew wants to become attached to some kind of ruler or kingdom, needing a structure in his life, even if it is simply to push against.
Hobbies/pastimes: Drew enjoys creating new spells, reading, tickling fights, mud fights, and simply playing around with his friends. He often goes on adventures simply out of boredom and the orcs of the land dread any of these fits of malaise.
Most pressing problem: Drew is currently having a chrisis in his relationship with many people, especially Marquie, Alais and Siona, as well as his lack of any apparent earthly allegiance.

Abilities:

Weapons:
Drew has trained or wielded nearly every weapon imaginable with varying success. He currently excels at using a staff and a sword in multiple combat, but prefers a sword and dagger for single battles. He can also use a bow, a crossbow, a slinghsot, a mace, a two hander sword, or a throwing dagger with some skill. He dislikes the two sword fighting style as it is exhausting, and he tries to avoid using katanas or flails.

Special abilities

Center of Being: Drew is irevocably Drew. Even when he appears to have been broken and completely forced into obedience, as has happened often, he can spring back as soon as the least stimulus is given. He often has the presence of mind to fake being without a will of his own, appearing slavish and submissive until the time is right to escape. This ability seems to pertain to his whole life: tragedy, death, exile, nothing seems to change his spirit or dull the brightness in his eyes, at least not permanently.
Latent Powers
>Iron Constitution<
Effective Con score is raised to 25 (or +10, whichever is better). She is immune to disease and other afflictions as if permanently enjoying the effects of an Elixir of Health. She regenerates 1 hit point per turn so that even lost limbs and organs can be regained in this way. Death from natural causes is now impossible. She is immune to disintegration magic. She also receives +5 on all saves against spells, and a +3 to all saves vs. dragon breath.
>Mage-sight<
The Chosen is able to visually perceive the emanations and dweomer-glow of enchantments of all kinds. She is able to employ this ability at-will, in a 90 foot or line-of-sight range.
>Rune of the Chosen<
She can hear the Rune and her own names (nicknames and titles included) spoken anywhere on Toril. In both cases, she can hear the next nine words uttered by the same speaker, regardless of the length of time that has elapsed before those words are spoken! Chosen can learn to tune this ability out as an aid to concentration, but it must be deliberately done. Normally, it is always on.
>Sustaining Fire<
Chosen loose all need for sleep. They can function with out food and drink when necessary, for up to seven days at a time, by calling on the silver fire to sustain them. (As a Potion of Vitality.) Chosen can also direct the Silverfire to protect them as the equivalent of a Ring of Warmth, a Ring of Mindshielding, a Potion of Waterbreathing, or a scroll of protection from gas. This may be done at will, with unlimited duration, but only one such effect can operate in one round.
>Chosen Immunities<
By deliberate, irrevocable choice, a Chosen can become immune to one specific spell of each level. This immunity is to a known, named spell, in both its arcane and divine forms, including minor personal variants, material componant differences, and area of effect. (Ie: The reversed form of curse is included to both divine and arcane curses, but immunity to flaming sphere does not extend immunity to fireball in any form!).

Spell immunities: (chosen gain immunity to one spell of each level)

Daze
Magic Missile
Touch of Idiocy
Dispel Magic
Bestow Curse
Feeblemind
Chain Lightening
Greater Shadow Conjuration
Greater Shadow Evocation
Imprisonment

Manifested Power (Supernatural Abilities):
These abilities require a conscious act of will to be used. A Chosen can only exercise one manifested power or cast a normal spell in one round--not both. Latent powers can be used and magical items can be wielded in addition to a manifested power or a cast spell.
>Silverfire<
Once ever 7 turns, a Chosen can unleash a burst of the Silverfire within them as a beam of spellfire-like ravening white flame. Its length is under the precise mental control of the Chosen manifesting it. This gout of Silverfire can pierce all known materials and magical barriers. Silverfire also ignores spell resistance and damage reduction. Its touch deals 4d12 points of damage, with no saving throw, to all beings struck by it, and it forces all items to save vs. magical fire or be destroyed.
It should also be noted that the Chosen can also select a different action--dissipating the beam of Silverfire into a cloud, so that it fills a cone shaped area 5 feet wide at the base, up to 70 feet long and up to 70 feet across the furtherest extent. In this form, the Silverfire does no damage, but instead, banishes dead magic areas forever, invisibly and instantly restoring such volumes of space to normal in respect to magic. Mystra frowns upon this use of the Silverfire--it is for dire emergencies only.
>Silverfire Purge<
The Silverfire can also be used or released within the body of the Chosen to purge all external magical and psionic compulsions. Mystra permits this second use without restriction, and it is invoked as a silent act of will.
>Special Teleport<
Once each day, the Chosen may teleport without error to the last place they called upon the Silverfire. This ability requires no componants and is a supernatural ability that cannot be blocked by ordinary means or otherwise disrupted as a normal teleport, teleport without error or other similar action can be.
>Chosen Spells<
In the same way a Chosen can become immune to one selected spell of each level, any spell casting Chosen can also choose to know a particular spell of each level of spells available to them. They cast this spell without any componants, by silent act of will alone, and without need for memorization.
It returns to her memory by Mystra's grace 24 hours (144 turns) after being cast. There is no need to study or meditate to renew these spells. These bonus spells are carried in addition to a Chosen's normal spell roster, and in addition to any other bonus spells she has due to exceptional scores.
>Laeral's Crowning Touch<
When a Chosen's casting ability gains access to 9th level spells, they also gain access to this spell, in addition to any bonus spells from any source, which can only be used under special circumstances.
Laeral Silverhand recently developed this specialized 9th level curse known as Laeral's Crowning Touch. All of the Chosen are capable of casting this spell, but thus far; only Alustriel, the Simbul and Laeral have learned it. Although the Seven Sisters do not advertise this, Mystra allows this spell to be memorized and cast in addition to the normal memorizing limits of a spell casting Chosen. --Even in addition to the bonus 9th level spell normally allowed a Chosen of appropriate spell casting level. In effect, it is a second bonus 9th level spell.
Laeral's Crowning Touch
By casting this spell, a mage places a debilitating curse on a target being. To be affected, a target must be a spell casting entity that employs magic governed by Mystra (such as wizards, sorcerers and the clergy of Mystra and Azuth).
The spell effect is initially unnoticeable except to the target: Mystra's symbol appears drawn in silver on each palm, or on the chest and forehead of beings without hands/palms) as a glowing brand. (This brand can be seen by other beings employing spells like detect magic or reveal magic.) Even after the spell expires, one mark remains forever.
For a year and a day, recipients know they have been cursed. Whenever they try to cast a spell, they instantly loose one full level of experience per spell level of the magic used. For instance, if the 14th level wizard Karl Blacknails casts a 6th level spell, he immediately drops to 8th level, loosing 6d4 hp and all attendant powers and abilities that went with being 14th level. Memorized spells are not lost, but if their level is now beyond the cursed mage's ability, they cannot be replaced once cast.
Streaks of silver appear in the hair of the curse's victims. With each spell use, more silver appears.
When the transgressor's hair is all silver, it all falls out. In addition the victim's hands become gnarled and sores form on their vocal cords, making vocalization of spells more difficult and singing impossible. (These are physical manifestations of the spell, not penalties.) After the spell expires, all of these side effects vanish, and normal spell use returns. However, levels lost are gone for good, and must be regained through the normal accumulation of experience.
If this spell is cast on a lich, the undead spellcaster is allowed a saving throw vs. spell at a -2 penalty. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell is negated. If the saving throw fails, the lich looses 1d8 hp per spell it casts (draining itself slowly of unlife), but the cast spell functions normally otherwise. There is no known way to avoid this damage, and a lich reduced to 0 hp in this way is destroyed utterly (along with its phylactery).
This spell was developed for use only against beings that misuse in the worst sort of way the type of magic that Mystra has dominion over. Mystra does not look kindly on Chosen who hurtle it at every mage who insults them. If victims are intelligent or knowledgeable enough, they realise what has occurred when the symbols of Mystra manifest and go into seclusion while they pray to Mystra for forgiveness. The goddess has been known to shorten the effects of the touch for the truly repentant. Fools who continue to use magic can drain themselves of spellcasting ability forever.

Iredeemable Brat
Drew is a complete brat and will never change. Some might not take him seriously because of this, and the frequency with which people fail to separate his childish attitude from his serious goals always irks him. He has little emotional control at some times, and believes he can pout his way out of most any problem. Drew grew up as the baby in his family and continues to enjoy attention. However, after his father left, he began to seek out approval and to try to prove himself. Regardless of how little he appears to care he is concerned with the opinions of most everyone he knows and desperate to prove himself and be liked. He blames himself for his father’s disappearance and still seeks to gain attention through misbehavior or good deeds, the line between which is considerably blurred where he is concerned.

Defiant:
Drew can’t stand authority figures he doesn’t thoroughly respect giving him orders except under extenuating circumstances. If he hates someone enough he’ll go out of his way to go against what they tell him, or at least delay doing it, even if it’s in his own best interests.

[Drew]

Andrew's biography
Andrew was born Andrew Roswinn Macbe, the scion of a great dynasty of wizards and witches. His parents, Gella and Galvaer MacBe, were long hunted by assassins from various kingdoms they had fought against on behalf of others. He was too young to remember when they set him atop a horse and bade the old mare to ride to the nearest castle. After this the two elder magi were destroyed and with them the last of Andrew's family. Meanwhile his horse bore him to Kielder castle. There he was taken in by the family of Beth and Waru Kuchi. He was largely free to do as he pleased growing up and had no short supply of trouble to get into. As much as he was looked after by his parents he was also raised by the queen of the home who took a great liking to him from an early age.

Andrew's powers began to manifest very early as he tried to imitate his new parents who also had magic ability. He also gained a taste for adventure very early, especially as his mother had a taste for trouble and travel. At the age of five Drew found his way, through various means, all the way to Wales and wasn't found for days. At the age of eight Andrew traveled to the realm of Asgard to help a kidnapped friend. He slew his first orc in this encounter although the horse that bore him to Kielder died as well. Andrew's adventuring at home was largely frowned upon but in Asgard he could do as he pleased. He aided in the rescue of the princess of Asgard and befriended Blank and Hlao, two rogues who were but a few years older than he was.

At the age of nine Andrew traveled to Asgard and found that Blank and Hlao had turned to piracy. Their ship was being seiged in the harbor and without a second thought he traveled to join them. Between him and Blank and the crew they fought off the entire forces of Asgard and escaped. However after accepting Andrew into his crew and giving him a ship of his own to command Blank was captured. Andrew became the commander of three pirate ships and swore to free his friend. The opportunity soon came and in a daring raid Drew and fifteen other crewman stormed the castle through a secret passage and freed Blank. However in the corridor they were stopped by the queen Anastacia and one of her companions, a woman named Secret.

Both the parties agreed to stay in the castle but Secret tried to use a spell to put the pirates and their commander to sleep. Andrew luckily had an immunity to such poisons at the time from an amulet and woke up just as Secret tried to shackle him. He instinctively grabbed the mannicles and clapped them on her, the only problem was one of the cuffs was on his wwrist and hte other on hers. The chains inhibited spells but he managed to casta teleport towards his ships. The mana drain was so great though that they instead landed in the water and nearly drowned before they were pulled from the water by his crew.

After some tiring negotiation Andrew agreed to release Secret and never pirate in Asgard again for the release of Blank and a full amnesty for him and his crew. Andrew and Blank returned to fighting for the greater good in many battles around Asgard. *****Drew was also among the priveledged few who visit the Grey Havens, where he came upon the Staff of Numen by still unknown means. However trouble was brewing at home as well. Orcs had taken over the forest and were striking at travelers in disorganized raids. Drew returned to Kielder and fought a battle against the orcs, saving Nicole's life in the process. An even more interesting development was the appearance of two demons, Raven and R, in an unholied church in the woods. Drew began to clear out the orcs single handedly at the age of ten but soon found himself bewitched by the demoness R. She intended to use him to gain information on the castle but although he seemed to like her he would never reveal much.

Events between Drew and the demons soon came to a head when he reached the age of twelve. By this time he'd elevated to fighting trolls giants and even once helping to magically hide an expedition to hell. A delegation came from the realm of Kirak where the ruler of the two demons in Kielder was waging a war. The demons had been sent to kill two people who had been sent to Kielder and were supposedly chosen to save the realm of Kirak. Andrew and R had a falling out as well and he decided to try to kill her. He'd been training in swordsplay and had decided to go to find a sword worthy of a great wizard. ****At the very same time a request came from a village to the north for aid against a red dragon. Andrew put on his robe and hat of heat resistance which he had gotten in Asgard after his regular clothing was burned, and went to face the dragon. With the distraction of a detachment of men from the village Andrew slew the dragon and took from its body the great longsword Calysmere. He was on the way home when he heard of an attack on his home.

An English army led by a powerful necromancer was besieging the castle. They were held off from entering but still might have starved the keep out. Andrew, his robes and hat and face blackened from the soot of the dragons attacks, posed as a warlock and offered to send the necromancer's troops through a portal into the castle. Instead the portal led back to Britain and the necromancer was slain without his army to save him. This done Andrew turned his attentions to a battle against R. She had stolen the blood of the captain of Kielder's guard to make a potion and Andrew and Hlao were charged to take it back. Hlao was unable to and so Andrew decided to try a head on approach. He fought R and threw her around with magic for quite a while. Later in the battle she took the upper hand but in the end he managed to run her through with calysmere. Holy sword though it was it didn't kill her and she managed to escape. Little did Andrew know that through some odd magical occurence she became pregnant after the battle.

When Andrew was thirteen Wraith was born to R and grew quickly. Wraith became a friend of Drew's and they often explored the woods, which by now were peaceful once more. The peace didn't last long. First a red dragon came to attack Kielder and Andrew aided in a great battle against it. Despite the aid of the silver dragon and commander of Kielder's guards, Azareal, the defenders lost and Andrew was carried away in the dragon's mouth. In her lair the dragon forced him into a blood ritual and infused him with dragon blood as she took his as well. They were bonded in life and death. She intended to use the bond to cause chaos in Kielder through Andrew but he largely resisted her powers. She summoned an army and began to plan a full invasion but Andrew disguised himself and allowed himself to be captured. Within her lair he discovered her plans and then rescued a woman she'd taken prisoner and returned to warn the castle guards. The dragon's army soon tired of the stalemate and fled, the dragon, Eventide, going into a deep slumber.

With yet another foe vanquished Andrew thought he might have some peace and traveled the realms, especially Asgard for a while. He returned home at thirteen to fight a horde of Drow. They had broken ground in the castle courtyard but Asgard sent aid in hte form of three hundred troops who would work under Andrew's command. For three nights the defenders held off the drow but on the fourth Andrew was captured along with others from Kielder and imprisoned in the drow city. After nearly a week they escaped with the help of the drow matron mother who had taken a liking to Andrew. Andrew however wanted to ensure that the drow never harmed his friends again and to this effect he threatened to open a gate on the river and flood the underdark. A treaty was signed and in the peace that ensued Andrew and the drow ruler developed a friendship. When he turned fourteen Andrew faced a new challenge from an entirely unfamiliar place.

His father had disappeared years ago and both he and his mother had by now realized that Waru wouldn't be returning. He decided to help his mother find love and soon spoke with an old friend of hers, Myth Leganti. He discovered they were in love but neither would tell the other so he locked them in a room together and let them out after almsot a whole day. When he did they decided to marry and things went well for a time. Andrew met a girl named Anika, an Amazon princess traveling from her home. They soon became a couple and he even managed to travel with her to her home. However things would soon change for the worse. After a large battle against a sorcerer Drew got into a fight with his prospective step father because Myth had appointed him a governess named Carey, who he hated at the time but would later consider as his sister, which ended in an exchange of death threats. He went to stay with his girlfriend but soon afterwards they split up and he returned to Kielder. He fought on and off with Myth, who had by now married his mother, for the next year. He also formed a tower in the forest and began to spread enchantments and goodness through Kielder's woods.

During Andrew's fifteenth year he went on various quests as usual, one in which he helped to overthrow a dwarven crime lord and kill a drow sorcerer, saving the city of Waran in the process and becoming a reknowned hero along with his allies, Erdrick and Emeress. When he returned home with his spoils he found a great trouble had occured. The twins recently born to the captain of the guard, Kelryn, had been kidnapped by a demon. It was later discovered that they were in the clutches of the shadowmancer of Kirak who also commanded R and Raven. Andrew led one unsuccessful rescue attempt, stymied by the interference of a group of orcs and a fight with his sister along the way. Returning he fought with Myth but managed to go back to Kirak with several friends and distract the shadowmancer while another party rescued the children. Events were coming to a head on Kirak and Andrew's attentions increasingly turned to that world.

[Drew]

Finally word came, the shadowmancer had an army of one hundred and fifty thousand and was razing the Kirakian countryside on his way to the capital. Andrew gathered an army of ten thousand elves drow men dwarves and even Amazons and led them to Kirak. His forces fought from behind the walls valiantly along with the armies of Kirak but Andrew had a score to settle with R and he called upon a griffin friend of his to bear him into battle. Along with two companions, Carey and Erdrick, he killed a dragon that was aiding the shadowmancer's forces. Andrew landed in the thick of the battle and slew many orcs before finally fighting R. The battle ended with both near death. Through trickery she nearly killed him and he allowed all on Kirak to believe he had died, though he intended to return soon.

Drew returned to adventuring after a few skirmishes with demons. Due to an odd series of events involving the battle against Dolan his sword and staff had been destroyed and so he traveled to an alternate dimension to take them back. After visiting a few other dimensions he found one where he was dead and the castle was overrun by R's forces. R had become the goddess of death through blasphemous rituals and now ruled a great deal of territory. Drew managed to fight off her guards while his only ally on this world slew R and took her powers, this ally was Wraith, R's daughter and Drew's long time friend.

Drew was captured by fae upon his return and spent three days struggling to escape. Before he was caught he met Siona, the daughter of the queen's guard and they became good friends. She was eventually captured as well and they both escaped and went to Rivermeet for a time before returning to Kielder. Shortly after returning Andrew's nephew, Arric, disappeared and it was soon discovered that he was being held by R. Drew rushed to the rescue and in the enda greed to let R drain his mana twice in return for the boy's freedom. As it turned out R had never really been holding Arric hostage and after taking Drew's energy she took him to her fortress on Kirak.
Drew was held on Kirak for weeks. Tortured in the dungeons of the temple of Layalees he never lost hope and eventually escaped. However at the end of his captivity he discovered that Siona had joined with his captors, at least in thought. Drew returned home quickly and things calmed down, he even reconciled with Siona. However one night while feuding with his sister Andrew met a strange visitor and, in retribution for Drew winning the fight against her, his sister told the visitor she could take Andrew.

He was spirited off to the twenty first century and infected with a strange disease. He fought furiously with his captor and also at times enjoyed her company. After blowing up her house and trying to switch bodies to cure the illness Drew was sent home for a strange reason and began to search for his own cure. Then it all hit the fan as Alex, who adopted him as her son, decided to show him that she could be mean. She killed over a hundred people and strung the corpses around the house. Drew let loose his full power and very nearly killed her. Seeing all the pain that had occured Drew used a process Alex had discovered to rewind time to when he was first captured.

Drew lost all his memories but somehow Alex regained hers which changed their relationship a lot. Drew was no longer affected by the virus and he and Alex got along very well though she loved to torment him occasionally. Drew returned home to fight a war that had begun partly because of his doings. Apparently while he and Foxxy were dimension hopping an evil alternate Kielder was visited and teis somehow allowed them to find the real Kielder. So everyone had an evil double suddenly and a huge and lengthy war took place. Drew killed his evil double early on with the help of Carey, his governess, during a battle against the Evil Velrik.amd gained a gread deal of powerful items from it.

Drew was captured once but escaped and rescued several individuals, including the prince and several others, from the evil castle. In the end Drew led a party to destroy an item that held the evil dimension in Kielder. With the help of his sister Athena they defeated the guardian of the stone which was a Tarasque from the evil dimension, taking its parts as spell components Drew rushed to help send the evil dimension away and joined Velrik in fighting several of the Tanari and other demons. The day was won and the party returned home alive.

Andrews next quest began when he heard of a chaotic good immortal being held captive and tortured. Drew was asked to rescue him as the mans location had only then been made known to anyone. However the lone man who told Drew about peril was himself killed just after the encounter by those who held the immortal. Andrew began to research to try to find exactly where he was held. After a time he came upon the place and infiltrated it with the help of a knight named Siegfred. Storming the dungeons Siegfred held off the guards valiantly while Drew came to the fallen immortals side. Unfortunately the man was beyond help and asked Drew to destroy him and take his place. The wizard who owned the dungeon was vanquished after a lengthy battle and Drew and Siegfred escaped.

Drew next got into a good deal of battles and met an elder red dragon. At the end of these encounters Drew swore never to take a life again. His determination was put to the test when he traveled with Velrik Nodolan and the heroes of Faerun on a quest to the underdark. Marquie, his adopted little sister, came along as well and Drew managed to protect her and down hundreds of Drow without ever killing anyone. However after this relations between Drew and Velrik soured. Imoen, Velrik's wife, and Drew got into a fight over what was best for Ariel, the couples adopted daughter and Drew's long time friend and ward. Velrik in the end cast Ariel out of his home and Drew tried to fight him. Ariel and her love, Siegfred, killed themselves and Drew swore revenge. ***While casting a curse on Velrik he lapsed into near death and his spirit traveled to the realm of the gods, where he met his matron, Mystra. Returning more powerful and knowledgable than ever Drew hoped not to have to use his newfound powers to harm others.

It turned out he wouldn't even have a chance to harm others because shortly after returning home his sister Kirna cast a spell on him that turned him into a powerless child. Drew was unhappy with this for a while but couldn't find a way to get back to his true form despite the efforts of all of his friends. He started to settle in to his smaller form and even became content with it as it brought him closer to Foxxy as well as Mes, the same one who had attacked him during his assault on the evil Kielder. He also got along very well with Imoen and Velrik. Imoen and Foxxy did try to fix him one more time but their spell ended up turning everyone in the castle into children instead of helping Drew. That spell wore off but didnt do much for Drew. After a few very narrow escapes from the castle nannies Drew got into a bit of trouble with some old enemies of his seeking for his life and decided it would be best to go into hiding.

Drew traveled to Atlantis where he had many friends, including some among the royal family. Amid playing with Telina and other companions Drew also received numerous visitors from his home who had thought he'd been killed. Lexi, Mes, Shar and Erdrick were they most notable. Eventually Drew decided that it was a bad idea to remain in his young form and initiated a quest to restore himself. Erdrick, Shar(not the goddess), a vampiress named Althea, a priest named Frederik and a geomancer called Anthonius all accompanied him along with various others. Drew had come into knowledge that the god Bane had captured a tablet that could restore him to his original power and Drew decided that not only did he not want that to happen but he could use the tablet for his own purposes at the same time. The party fought their way into the temple of Bane and after restoring Drew to his true form they ended up having to destroy the avatar of Bane himself. Althea and Antonius both died in the battle and Drew and Shar and Erdrick alone were forced to stop the god, who was finally sent back to his home plane by a blast from Drew. Once they had all recovered Drew returned to Atlantis where he made a pact with Mes to never harm her with his magic.

Drew moved to Dragonshire later and continued to have adventures, including killing a Taraque with the aid of his sister Athena. There were several battles with orcs and later the princess of Dragonshire was kidnapped by the drow. Drew and Sabertache lead the assault to free her and after two tries succeeded. Drew returned to the queen half dead and was outraged when she ignored him. He swore never to lift a finger for her and began to have a slight interest in Juliette. This culminated in his falling asleep beside her (fully clothed of course!) in the courtyard. They were caught and Drew was threatened with a chastity belt by Diedre, the queen of Dragonshire.

Drew spent the next month as an outlaw from the queen’s justice. It was during this time that he discovered a strange paradox in his life. Although he felt little for Diedre or the rule of law, the complete freedom of the lifestyle he lived during that month, as well as the stresses of constant battle with her guards, nearly destroyed him. By the time he was finally captured he was dirtier than usual, sick and wearing sparse tatters of clothing. Despite his weak protests he got stuck in a chastity belt which he wears to this day, justifying it since it at least adds to his armor in a very critical place. It was also during this time that Drew issued a challenge to Elijah Douglas, the traitorous son of his former and sovereign at heart, Nicole. The challenge was never returned and Elijah was later killed by another. Drew also met Alais Swiftwind at this time, a rothe or servant of Siona’s boyfriend Valkryn.

Alais and Drew became increasingly close during what should have made them enemies. Drew was beginning to make his influence felt in Kielder once more in the hope of returning, scheming against Siona and Draakar. They had imprisoned his childhood friend and Mera’s daughter Daphne in a bottle and simply left her there. Drew and many within Kielder were outraged and he began forming a spy network and even organized two rescue attempts with the help of his friends. None of them were successful and Sabe began to leave Kielder along with the rest of the group. Alais was serving Draakar and Drew and her argued almost constantly, though they always remained amicable and Alias often ended up carrying him to bed after a long night’s debate.

This all came to an end when Alais was captured and taken down to the underdark by Valkryn and his newly returned bonded wife Gia Navere. They were reforming a fallen drow city and their own shattered house. A ranger from Kielder came to Drew along with many of his followers to report what had happened as Alais had been leading Kielder’s rangers. Drew tried to form a united front between Kielder and Dragonshire, but he was the only one who seemed capable of gathering much information. At first he favored an open assault, but Draakar nearly marched directly into the underdark. Drew asked Sabe to help dissuade the king and then began his own operations. Diedre however refused to help even though Juliette had disappeared as well and Valkryn’s involvement was suspected.

In the end Drew went into the underdark alone, battling a black dragon and escaping from one drow city very narrowly when Valkryn revealed his identity in the middle of the Bazaar. Drew knew he was being tracked and took this for a sign that he was on the right course. He got near enough to House Navere to send a telepathic message asking for Alais’ release. Gia appeared with her guards and captured Drew while he tried to negotiate. For the next two weeks Drew was tortured, not only physically but with the screams of his friend. His will nearly broke for the first time in his pleading to cease harming Alais, but then, myraculously, she escaped with the help of Thaydin Navere, who would later marry her in a secret ceremony.

Drew’s hope was rekindled and he soon hatched a plot to escape. He made it out of the dungeons but it wasn’t long before he came face to face with the Matron and was quickly sent back to the dungeons. Gia decided he was more trouble than he was worth but rather than kill him she had him tossed into the underdark wilds after Valkryn carved Navere’s house emblem into his shoulder. It was also during this time that Drew’s left eye was damaged and he began to learn the weavesight ability as he recovered his vision. One of the main tactics Drew used to sustain himself through his torment was prayer and communion with Mystra.

Drew nearly died in the underdark, but something stopped him. The cloak of Bane, which he had taken from the avatar of the god, beckoned to him from his tower. He had offered it to Gia and Valkryn for Alais’ freedom and even considered wearing it and becoming the Tyrant’s avatar simply to help his friend. Rather, the cloak let him call to it in his delirium and then took him over. The cloak lacked the strength to fully dominate Drew, and rather it simply used his body while he slept, raiding drow patrols and capturing many of Navere’s soldiers. They were to be sacrificed in a new temple of Bane in Kielder in order to return the black hand’s power to him from the cloak.

Drew finally found out and with the help of Alais and Thaydin he both took off the cloak and rescued Navere’s prisoners. He sent word to the priests of Cyric and let them do the work of destroying Bane’s temple. This act has earned him the enmity of the black hand and all his clerics. However the destruction of the cloak of Bane brought Drew even more favor from his Goddess and more of a reputation among the people.

Marquie, his sister and sometimes daughter returned from being stuck with her grandfather around this time, shortly after Kielder, his old home, fell into ruin. Drew was also courting his long time nemesis, R Rilmani. They’d struck up a strange relationship when she returned from the dead and Drew helped nurse her back to health. He became a blood doll to her, letting her feed from his blood to help regain her strength. This was probably the closest to true love Drew had ever gotten, but everyone he knew was against his being with R. In the end there was a battle and R was banished again with Marquie’s help.

Marquie grew up quickly, though she remained as Drew’s apprentice in the magical arts. They began to grow apart aroudn this time as she began to become more interested in a 700 year old dragon Drew utterly despised. Drew had several battles with Marquie’s would be husband but finally gave his consent. Marquie and Drew grew apart slightly during this time as Drew tried to cling to the girl he knew like a daughter and keep her safe and Marquie pushed for more independence. Drew was terribly wounded in his spirit during this period and the relationship has yet to truly heal.

Drew soon returned to matters with Navere and Alais, this time focusing on her child. She’d been largely free and he hoped to keep it that way now that she was pregnant and let her raise the boy as she saw fit. To do so he went to search for the gatekeeper’s crystals, gathering the first piece from Hell Gate Keep, the second from the Abyss, and the third from the shadow plane. Inbetween he loaned the first piece to his sister Athena and subsequently had to fight her to get it back. He’s currently waiting to unite all three pieces and carry them to Waterdeep.

Drew’s plans for Alais failed though and she went back to Navere, seemingly of her own free will. Drew decided to leave her be as the two of them had grown flighty as well during her pregnancy and the trouble with Zodiac. At present Drew’s prime concerns are to bring the crystals to Waterdeep and then from the temple there up to Dweomerheart, the realm of his Goddess, and also to repay a debt to Matron Navere for sparing his life several times.
