shams


 

Shams of Tabriz (pronounced “Shahms of Ta-breeze") is an aristo mage of the illusionist school who has been playing moral decay on and off since early 1993.  The first Shams was a level 19 necromancer until, after conversion, he was killed by Garfunkel, one of his two summoned skeletons (yes, the other one was named “Simon.") Well, after praying and having to the read the embarrassnig “Shams killed by Garfunkel,” line in the Vesla Times, he decided he didn’t want to spend his time wrangling the undead, so he went to the cellar underneath Vesla City Hall and erased himself.  The next Shams was a cleric who reached level 10 or 11, and then decided end it all again when the new devotional system for clerics was implemented some time ago.  Shams #3, the mage we know today, is thus the third “Shams” to play the game.

Shams is named after a real 13th-century Persian Sufi Saint, a teacher of the better-known mystical poet Jalal al-Din Rumi.  Shams is generous, laid back, and not particularly violent (unless you’re a Quiet Halfling).  In fact, in all the years he’s been hanging around, he’s never killed another player.

These days, he plays for 30-45 minutes or so at a stretch, and idles quite a bit (but nowhere near as much as Etonix).
The reason he hasn’t been playing as much recently is due to work as well as the fact that he has a baby son! So he usually spends time running about taking care of him. However this also results in shams not accepting anything for an excuse not to play, e.g. if you tell him that your busy (or tired) he’ll retort with something like “Hey i have a baby and work and yet im still here!”.

If you’re a newbie, feel free to ask him a question or request a helpful spell.  Just don’t ask him about Philadelphia sports teams.

His other characters include:
Fygar

Random: Shams randomly shields/buffs people or friends he sees or bumps into while hes playing.
