And Kogan beat me to the draw concerning Araph as well; if you'd just shown up and continued to play Araph, I'd just have been like "'k, btw your group has moved the ship to the docks and joined back up with the rest of the party". But if you want to make a new character, I suppose that's fine.
Thanks!
Would you be willing to approve a homebrewed-ish race? It's a monster race, but it's nerfed to what a normal race would be like.
Pixie -- Player Race
* +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, –4 Strength, –2 Constitution.
* Small size: +1 bonus to Armor Class, +1 bonus on attack rolls, +4 bonus on Hide checks, –4 penalty on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits 3/4 of those of Medium characters.
* A pixie's base land speed is 20 feet.
* A pixie's base flight speed is 30 feet (good).
* When flying, all attack rolls made by the pixie have a -2 penalty.
* Low light vision.
* Fey
* +2 racial bonus on Spot, Listen, and Search checks.
* Automatic Languages: Common, Sylvan. Bonus Languages: Elven, Gnome, Halfling.

I know that flying is usually pretty iffy, which is why there's the roll penalty and the lower than normal ability modifiers.
