My Kenku Assassin. He studies an art of assassination derived from a now deceased god(or not?) called shadow blade. Assassins in 4e are pretty much shadow mancers, which rules, and the way I am creating and concepting my character he will infact not have anyweapons and create them out of pure shadow.

He aspires to continue his parents goal in either bringing back Mask or hep in his resurrection. Mask is the former deity of thieves, assassins, and the like.

And shadow blade is one of the weapons masked used.

LeNoir Took his name from the poe poem of course, both his parents are from faeruns asia, but he was born and raised in amn, the most awesome city ever, so I gave him a more western character but kept him with a semi ninja appearance. LeNoir is gay and crossdresses with pretty gothy victorian esq dresses. He is very clean and styles his appearance and is constantly practicing his profession to perfection. He is not spiteful or easily angered and he carries himself in a joyful bright manner despite his actual darkness.
