Credit goes to the peeps from
aionroleplayers.com, just an extended character sheet to flesh out some of my characters and keep myself busy and not-bored during work. Today's spotlight will be my eloquent, thoughtful Forsaken priest, Zaifar. Might change as development goes, kind of incomplete at the moment. Icon art is done by the talented Dynast!
Feel free to use this format, but please credit to
aionroleplayers.com. Also a happy fathers' day to everyone!
