 Drusilla's goals here are to gain more training as an Abjurer (her chosen school of magic) and to have further access to libraries in the region. She is also, as a young elf, fascinated by the prospect of mingling with other races. She is also drawn to the area because of its historical significance in the rising of Ashra and Edea. She is a theologian and historian at heart and she's incredibly interested to help regain the lost knowledge of times past. Drusilla's goals here are to gain more training as an Abjurer (her chosen school of magic) and to have further access to libraries in the region.

-//Keep in mind, I had never played an elf before, and this was a learning experience for me. I was actually intimidated a little bit because there are some very serious elf players in the game who know EVERYTHING about them. I decided to make her young and naive, with little knowledge of the older history of elves. However, she is a scholar and through multiple interactions with other, older elves, she was able to piece together some of their history.+//Keep in mind, I had never played an elf before, and this was a learning experience for me.

I highly suggest, for new players, to actually play characters that are young or who don't know a lot about history so that you can grow with the character.

-//NOTE: Drusilla went on to write a book, which was quite a project (taking several RL months) and involved a LOT of player interaction. She also has taken part in a number of plots, purely as a supplementary character, assisting with research and the like. These days, I can barely log on before I am bombarded with many tells about research! Make your mage the go to for questions that other characters have!//+//NOTE: Drusilla went on to write a book, which was quite a project (taking several RL months) and involved a LOT of player interaction.

 Another aspect of a successful character is the use of PCnotes. PCnotes are personal notes to yourself, but they're also notes to "whoever is listening".

 +As you may or may not have guessed, I literally stepped 'behind the wheel', so to speak, when writing this avmail. It was an in-character avmail, and I was looking through her eyes when pictured what she would be thinking about and what precautions she might take. I also made sure to ask some other notable mages what they thought about this research and what precautions might be necessary.
  
  
-To be continued....+One last thing of note, with this guide. I am not an experienced role player (there are players here who are far more so), but every once in a while, I find a character that I'm able to, essentially, //become//, or //step into// while playing. Try to take it slow, and begin to see through your character's eyes, and envision the small details in life they might be noticing around them. I started this mud after coming over from a purely hack and slash game, and it definitely took some time to get used to it. If you're new to the game, don't fret! With time and familiarity, you'll be writing your own guide before long!
