Background and History:
With a song in her heart and her emotions on her sleeve, Skyboot pranced
into the late stages of Dafan and left some indelible memories. She remains
- perhaps fortunately - still the only character to stop all actions during
a dangerous combat, sit down, and throw a full-blown temper tantrum on
the loss of one of her magic items, much to the amusement of all. She
along with Caramyr caused perhaps the greatest train wreck of all time
when they put up an invisible Wall of Force in front of 300 galloping
horsemen and then chucked fireballs real and imaginary into the resulting
carnage. But most of the rest of the time she was all about fun - and
sex - and creative uses of illusions.
Her career was not
without its rough moments; and in taking advantage of her capricious ways
the parties she ran with were sometimes merciless. At one point deep in
some adventure, she took control of an opposing Flesh Golem only to die
less than a minute later defending it from fellow party member James Tarcil;
an act that went unpunished then or later. Yet later in her career, her
wayward wand-generated fireball hit Haldir Anatar; he afterwards sued
her and won over 50,000 gold pieces from a bribed court of Artemis (a
loss she has vowed to fully recoup should her path ever cross Haldir's
again). And her only all-star appearance did not last long: by the end
of the game's first battle she had died.
Her theme song pretty
much sums up the rest: (lyrics copyright 1988 Friends of Gravity)
Here
I am again – hey, it's only me
Somebody you thought you'd never see
Maybe I'll
explain – tricky is the light
Now that you
I've caught it feels so right
/ Who am I, what can I do
/ Ask
you this, I'll answer too
* \ There
you are lost in my spell
\
Here I am <pause>
Images
in mind, nothing's really real
Still I can
affect the way you feel
Always on
the run from shadows no-one knows
Dreaming never
dies, where I go
* (I'm Skyboot)
In
love with everyone, dancing in the rain
Anybody cries,
I feel the pain
I'll leave
you all behind, when I start to fly
What can you
expect from such as I
* (I'm Skyboot Sharlineriel)
Here I am
again – hey, it's only me
Just somebody
you thought you'd never see.
