Naturally Psionic: Xephs gain 1 bonus power point at 1st level. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class.
Burst (Su): Three times per day, a xeph can put on a burst of speed to increase her speed by 10 feet, plus 10 feet per four character levels beyond 1st, to a maximum increase of 30 feet at 9th character level and higher. These bursts of speed are considered a competence bonus to the xeph’s base speed. A burst of speed lasts 3 rounds.
Joined the army as soon as he reached of age. Met many people there whom he called friends. However, he saw very little actual fighting since he was nearly always in trouble. as a result, he ended up on guard duty, kitchen duty, privy duty, etc. more often than his fellow soldiers. Norim was easily led astray by his comrades. They discovered that he was immensely loyal and even though his friends often convinced Norim to participate in a prank, if caught, he would never rat them out.
After serving his required 4 years, he decided to travel instead of staying at home. During the past several months Norim has gone from village to village doing odd jobs to earn a few coppers.
Description
Standing head and shoulders above even the tallest human men, with a broad shouldered build packed with corded, iron-hard muscle, Orinar is an imposing sight. His dress consists of boiled leather and metal armor; he looks nothing but the part of a skilled warrior. He keeps the sides of his head shaven; only along the crown of his skull does Orinar's raven black hair grow long, which he then braids and wears flowing down the center of his back. He is not ugly, but the scowl that he often wears on his face, and his cold, cobalt blue eyes make him look all the more fierce. Still, he smiles as often as not, at least among friends, and this softens his hard features considerably.

Racial Features
- +2 Strength, +2 Constitution, -2 Dexterity: Half-giants are tough and strong, but not too nimble.
- Giant: Half-giants are not subject to spells or effects that affect humanoids only, such as charm person or dominate person.
- Medium: As Medium creatures, half-giants have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
- Half-giant base land speed is 30 feet.
- Low-Light Vision: A half-giant can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
- Fire Acclimated: Half-giants have a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against all fire spells and effects. Half-giants are accustomed to enduring high temperatures.
- Powerful Build: The physical stature of half-giants lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a half-giant is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the half-giant is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A half-giant is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A half-giant can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.

Background:
Lars Crichton has served Heironeous since he was twelve years of age, shown at that time that his fate was to serve the Archpaladin in pushing back the tides of evil and protecting the meek. Lars grew up in a nameless thorp at the edge of the Borderlands, lost 11 years ago when the orcs started ranging further out from the mountains and pillaged the place for what food and silver they could scrounge up. Lars saw Heironeous that day, as a few villagers tried desperately to protect the women and children from rapacious orcs, and the Archpaladin told him how to make those men's deaths mean something. When Lars' mother, Diedre Crichton, carried him off to the city of Sheffield for protection, Lars knew that he must return someday to avenge his father and fellows.
In Sheffield, his mother had to leave Lars with the local priests at the temple of Heironeous, for lack of any money to take care of the boy, as she struggled to earn enough to feed herself. Lars knew that it was meant to be so, that he would be alright if he trusted in the Archpaladin. After many years of training and slowly learning that vengeance would not be just, Lars found his way as a chosen paladin of Heironeous. He would go back to the Borderlands and fight the orcs, the goblins, the giants and anything else wicked that threatened Haven's former lands. But not for vengeance. For justice.
Description:
Lars is fairly vivacious and high-spirited, but grim when it comes to matters of justice and duty. He knows that his fate is to punish evil and protect those like his late father and fellow villagers, and takes this duty very seriously. Fighting is grim and dirty, unpleasant business, but those of able body and spirit like himself cannot merely stand back when good people are suffering or in danger. So he learns to fight, and tries not to think of vengeance or rage when he must fight. He uses an axe because it is Heironeous' traditional weapon, and he thinks it gets the job done better than a sword, even if it is less 'noble'. He doesn't know why exactly he is different from normal folk, other than his apparent destiny as a paladin, and his mother doesn't seem to remember anything about their celestial forbearer.
As long as there is nothing that requires him to fulfill his duty as a tool of the Archpaladin, Lars enjoys eating, drinking, and making merry. Banter and witty insults are an amusing distraction from the grim reality of war, but not one he can be comfortable indulging in very often. He's a bit pudgy around the middle from enjoying so much food and drink, but tries to moderate his habits and avoid slipping away from the path fate has set him on.
Whenever he can, he returns to Sheffield and brings his mother what coin he can spare, but much of what he earns in the fight against evil has to go towards the armaments and supplies to continue that fight. When he's not in Sheffield, he likes the company of the ladies, but avoids anything that might shame the Archpaladin's name, since he's unmarried and carries the burden of being a chosen icon of Heironeous' will. Cooking holds his interest when he has nothing to fight, no one to save, and no one to woo. Good food begets a good mood, he always says.

History/Background info:
Menno was born into a poor family in one of the many unremarkable fiefs that dot the lands. In his youth he was an energetic and often 'wild' child who saw no problem causing all sorts of mischief around the small peasant village. He didn't do this with ill intent, of course, he was just killing his boredom in his humble surroundings. Because of this he had few friends and didn't have a good reputation amongst the authorities in the village.
During his younger years he developed a very negative view of authority in general and would often find himself in trouble in one way or another; if it wasn't his free-spirited antics, it was his newly discovered and developing power. He was already looked down upon by most of the village, and this only served to cement their ill dispositions toward him. After one too many incidents in his hometown, Menno ran off with a hedge-wizard just passing through. Old chap was very amenable and somewhat feeling the press of years he hurried to teach wide-eyed youth as much as he can before short attention span of youth gets diverted by something else.
His wide-eyed optimism was challenged at every turn in this new life. He started to see the ugly side of people, and learned to put on a false face. He never quite got the knack for fitting in, and left the services of the wizard to test his mettle and try the life of an adventurer.
Menno would love to find a place to be comfortable and call home. He tends to act with confidence and bravado, but it is generally a front. He is generally happy, but has always been ill-at-ease because he has never had anyone to consider a true friend. His turn to the adventurous life is to see if he can awaken more of his power, and maybe make some friends along the way.
