Kerrick, Ninja of the Spire
Appearance/Description:
[SBLOCK]Kerrick stands 5’10” tall and seems to around average weight. His ice blue eyes stare at yours, evaluating you while you evaluate him. He smiles and runs a hand through his short cut brown hair as he turns to walk away. Kerrick is wearing a neutral grey cloak (clasped at the base of his neck with a golden brooch), which hides most of his body. What you can see from the front is his loose fitting white shirt and brown pants. He has a silver chain around his neck, but his shirt hides whatever is on the end. He also has dull grey bracers on as well. The only weapon you can see is the ornate dagger sheathed at his belt, it has an abnormally long hilt. Other than the lack of weaponry he seems prepared, he has a small backpack that looks full and the ever important grappling hook and attached rope hangs from the side of the pack.[/SBLOCK]
History:
[SBLOCK]Kerrick is a ninja from the Temple of the Spire, a group of monks living and training in Sharn. The temple is dedicated to stamping out crime and operates much like any church. This is all a façade. The temple’s true goal in Sharn is to recover artefacts (that rightfully belong to them) from Xen’drik. They usually have initiates travel to the lost continent to recover something before are accepted as a full member of the order. The artefacts are taken to Morgrave University for analysis before being ‘stolen’ back.
Temple initiates are chosen for their potential and young age. Not everyone has the ability to master the ancient martial arts. Most are trained from birth to harness their abilities and focus their ki. They spend their early years in training, supplemented by menial labour and complex ritualized duel intended to increase overall lethality and grace.
Kerrick was born to two dockside labourers, at an age of two months he was taken by the Temple’s “collectors”. Kerrick became a junior apprentice (a Ryst) at age six. As a Ryst he did many meditations to focus his ki, as well as training to overcome basic phobias that would hinder his ability to perform his duties. Ryst training is like tempering steel. Preparing the initiate for the greater trials ahead.
At the Kir stage (a senior apprentice) Kerrick was as skilled as the average soldier. As a Kir he learnt the weapons and tactics of the ancient warrior monks, how they manipulated their ki to hide themselves in plain sight, how to tune the body to the mind and make great jumps. At the age of eleven Kerrick killed his first target. An old barkeep in the Cogs who had a small slave trade on the side. The Temple of Spire would point him in a direction and he would return with the head of some criminal no one else would bring to justice.
Even as a young child Kerrick displayed an amazing amount of control and maturity. Kerrick understands that life is precious so he only kills the guilty. After all, killing everyone in your way is not only hard to cover up, it’s unprofessional.
Kerrick never really knew his parents, the Temple is his home. Its masters are his parents and the apprentices are his older siblings. Kerrick takes the ninja path to heart and tries to stay emotionally distant from everyone, but has developed a special bond with his master, Tertas Ra’na. He sees Tertas as a father figure and has great faith in his abilities and teachings.
Kerrick has accumulated much resentment among his peers because in only seventeen years he has become an elder apprentice (an Estas), while others who are in their twenties are still senior or junior apprentices (Kir and Ryst, respectively).
To become a fill member of the Temple of the Spire, Kerrick must find an artefact in Xen’drik and return it Morgrave University. As such his masters have ‘enlisted’ him as a first year student in archaeology (Under the assumed name Kerrick Estas, using his rank as his last name) and made sure that he would be taken on the voyage to the continent for the ring artefact.

The man with the probe
Vander d'Deneith
Appearance: Vander is a fairly handsome man, with a carved physique, and noble stature. His dark brown hair is short and curly, with a finely trimmed beard covering his face. His eyes are captivating and always alert, though there is a bit of sadness behind them if you look deep enough. His armor is well crafted, and does not hinder him like one might expect a suit of Full Plate to. However, there is a noble air to him that escapes definition. Armed and ready, his is an imposing figure for an opponent to find in his path.
Background: Vander d‘Deneith was a Deneith house favorite long before his dragonmark surfaced. Being the 7th son of the wealthy and influential Baron Corin d’Deneith, Vander was often left to the care of others, and rarely spent time with his father. Perhaps Corin blamed Vander for his wife’s death, as she died during Vander’s birth. Vander’s older brothers reveled in the power and influence that their status and wealth gave them, and they played up their status as much as possible. They would often put servants in awkward positions, or make them do ridiculous things. Others in the House saw this lack of discipline and grew to generally dislike the elder sons.
Vander, however, spent a lot of time with the servants, and saw the humiliation and strain that was thrust upon them. He refused to play upon his power, and as a result was often viewed with favor among the servants and respect among the House. The elder sons saw this and would often do what they could to keep Vander from view. Eventually, many in the house knew of Vander, but few had ever met him.
Vander spent a lot of time working on his skills, often due to “Bogus” training exercises concocted by his older brothers to keep him out of sight. He trained with his father’s steward, Sir Garret Bender, in the ways of war, diplomacy and the ways of the court, and many of the servants in the ways of the outside of court. As he and his brothers grew older, Corin began to rely on the elder sons more, and relegated Garret to a more custodial role with his estate. Garret continued to spend time with Vander, and Vander regarded Garret as much as a father as a guide.
On his 16th birthday, Vander’s dragonmark manifested. This brought him some attention that none of his brothers had gotten, and Corin took a more personal interest in the doings of his youngest son. He saw his son blossoming into a truly noble character, and continued to let Garret and the estate servants take an active role in Vander’s upbringing. However, he made sure to bring Vander to several social functions despite the brother’s best attempts to keep him out. Vander made quite the impression in the House, and quickly became the favored son as far as many of the other nobles of the House were concerned.
Things changed drastically on his 18th Birthday. Just prior to the celebration, a changeling assassin killed Corin. The assassin was quickly dispatched, but there was no clue as to who had hired it nor why. When going to see Garret, he overhead his eldest brother Sorin speaking to him. Garret was informing Sorin that Corin had willed the estate to Vander. Enraged by this, Sorin killed Garret, made it look like the assassin had done it earlier, and then destroyed the will. Vander, fearing he was next, quickly used a house connection to flee the estate.
Since that day, Vander has worked for the Houses Defender’s guild, keeping a fairly low profile. He has been able to use his connections to keep his activities in the guild fairly quiet, but he has an exemplary record of performance, and is well known for his nobility in word and deed. He has spent much of his days looking over his shoulder in fear of an unknown assassin, and he continues to look to find out why his father was killed when he was. It has been four years since Vander left his home, and nearly as long since the war ended.

Hanging in there. Better than the alternative.
Tamin "The Whirling Blades" Saphonbend, Halfling Fighter 5
Appearance: When one visits Tamin, he's sitting in his shop, working on some blades. Maybe this is why he is good with blades? He sits there, his hands dirty with whatever he's doing. He looks up at you through his goggles... is he looking at you? One eye is definitely fixed on you, the other... is looking past you? Such green eyes are odd, they have the look that something behind them is broken. His hair is pulled back so as to not get in the way of his work and he stands up, expectantly. He shifts to his right leg and wipes his hands on his work pants. Too tough for light travel, his clothing is held somewhat close to his body. It's not form-fitting, but it is obvious he does not want his clothes to get in his way. A nice-looking boomerang is slung around his waist, and... now that you mention it, his shop is filled with a bit of nice equipment.
Background: Tamin was born and raised in the Talenta Plains, but not as a nomad like most Halflings. His parents worked for one of the Houses, but that was a long time ago and they are no longer with us. Tamin lost his family at an early age to the War -- his house was raided, his family was slaughtered, but Tamin fell before anyone else did to a sharp blow to the head. That is what he was told, anyway. It was the medics of House Jorasco that was attacked, during the War.
When Tamin woke up, he wanted to join the war to find the people who did this to his family. He was too young to join the army at the time, but he learned to use the Elves' weapons. We worked with what he could find, with one of the Houses helping him survive, but when Tamin was old enough, he enlisted and used his knowledge of Elven weaponry against them. He worked with House Deneith as guards to the medics of House Jorasco.
After the Last War, Tamin could not stand being confined to the Talenta Plains. He loved the country, but now that he had seen war he could not just stay at his home. He had no family and no purpose in Talenta. In this broken state, he decided staying with House Deneith would at least give him something to do. Packing his things, he said good-bye to the land he loved in order to be a Defender. The timing was convenient because he had received a request to give a demonstration of the uses of Elven weapons in Sharn. In Sharn he kept to himself mostly, as he made weapons for the Defenders and others, but conversed with some of the people who came to his forge. In this manner, he met a few minor nobles but he avoided politics. His friends were few, but a kind noble or two respected him and kept him compnay.
Today, he works quietly as a smith, one of the few halflings that have settled down. His friends know him as Tam, but those are few. Most know him as "Blades," but he does not go into detail as to why. "I am good with blades." "What do you mean? Making them? Using them?" "... I am good with blades."

Background Story
Clang came out of the forges of House Cannith ten years ago, created as an experiment. Like other warforged, he was built to kill. But unlike them, he was built to kill with his mind and replace the flagging ranks of combat-capable spellcasters in the army of Karrnath. Fearing neither death nor snipers thanks to his adamantine plating, he was considered the ideal replacement. He fought in campaigns against Cyre and Thrane, serving with distinction that went largely unrecognized by his superiors.
When the war ended, like other warforged, Clang had no idea what to do with himself. He was not as strong as other warforged and felt alone and confused without orders and a clear chain of command. His purpose was to kill, and he wished only to continue. He served out several short contracts as a bodyguard and caravan guard, which left him in Breland at the end of his last term. Living in Sharn for a month, he quickly began to yearn for the regimentation of Karrnath but knew there would be nothing for him on his return but more of the same pathless wandering, and he'd become troubled by the lack of recognition for himself and other warforged who served as they were built to.
It wasn't for glory or honor that Clang wanted recognition. He didn't feel entitled to it. Rather, he felt that its lack bred distinctions between warforged and others. It created morale problems and broke the unity that was the foundation of any good military. He wanted to subsume his identity in the greater whole, and that was denied.
Despite his killing of hundreds of Cyran soldiers during the war, he took a job venturing into the Mournland with some to recover lost artifacts. There, he found his service rewarded with a share of the treasures. But the Cyrans were wild and unorganized. They claimed to be soldiers from the war, but if they were it only explained Cyre's fate. After two years, his contract with them expired. Not knowing what to do, yet again, Clang found himself in Sharn. A scholar at Morgrave University took an interest in his unique attributes and he consented to being studied, again feeling lost without a war to fight. When the term of his agreement with the scholar expired, he chose to return to adventuring.

Background:
Rashleigh d'Orloff was born to a branch of House Orien specializing in the highly
profitable and less than ethical side of transportation: a lesser noble house of
smugglers. Oh of course the family has legitimate business concerns, but family status
and indiviudal wealth seems to focus more on the underbelly of its business than on the
front it presents. Unfortunately for Rashleigh, he was born as a delayed 5th child, too
late to take control of one of the family's business projects. With little chance to
advance as far as he saw fit within the family, Rashleigh joined the clergy of the
Sovereign Host by attending a religious studies program through Morgrave University. The
idea was that he would act as a priest to the family- bestowing Kol Korran's blessings on
their every endeavor. In his final year at the University, he is undertaking a field
internship as his final project before graduation. The goal, his advising professor has
just informed him, will be the recovery of a legendary ring from the continent of
Xen'drik. Given his family connections though and the unusual destination, it is nearly
certain that he will be asked to discretely transport something either to or from one of
the camps.

Background Story
Spike is a special type of warforged. When his comrades were taught about sword-play he was taught in the ways of diplomatic negotiations. He was taught to lead others into battle instead of following orders. He was given command of a squad of 10 warforged in The Last War and soon became an accomplished commander. He learned to develop tactics of engaging the enemy without suffering losses.
Spike fought for Aundair and was engaged in at least a dozen battles during the war. When the Treaty of Thronehold was signed, he suddenly stood without any squad to lead and felt an emptiness inside that he had never felt before. He was puzzled by this longing to belong to a unit and soon took up an adventuring career, because that was the closest thing he could come to lead a unit again.
Description: Spike is a tall and sturdily built warforged with symbols carved into his right chest plate signifying his former rank as commander. His skin has a dull gray look to it (due to the adamantine being used in his construction). Even though his face is completely without expression there's an unmistakable aura of authority about him. His plating has a few dents and marks from cuts that he hasn't taken care of, so he looks pretty battle-hardened and experienced. His green eyes shine and seem to register every bit of movement around him and all this information is quickly analyzed to draw suitable conclusions. He seems a lot less "cold" and emotionless than your average warforged.
Grant Move Action (Ex): Once per day as a standard action, Spike can grant any or all allies within 30 ft. a move action that must be taken immediately. This extra action does not affect the ally's initiative count; the round continues normally after Spike's turn is over.
Major Auras (Ex): Hardy Soldiers (damage reduction 1/-), Motivate Ardor (+1 bonus on damage rolls).
Minor Auras (Ex): Accurate Strike (+1 bonus on attack rolls to confirm critical hits), Art of War (+1 bonus on bull rush, disarm, sunder and trip attempts), Force of Will (+1 bonus on Will saves).
The auras in general are projected as a swift action and affect all allies (including himself) within 60 ft. who can hear Spike. He can maintain one major aura and one minor aura at a time. His auras are dismissed if he is dazed, unconscious, stunned, paralyzed or otherwise unable to speak. All bonuses granted are circumstance bonuses that do not stack with each other.

Randrak was born in a small barbarian tribes living nearby the demon waste. Life in that part of the world was difficult but Randrak exceptional physical ability allowed him to survive the first 15 years of his life. Rendrak childhood was fairly typical for a child in the tribe. Of the 12 kids her mother had only 4 survived, him and 3 of his sisters.
At 13 years old in order to become a men he was sent in the wood with a bow and a greatsword for a year to survive on his own the perils of the region.
During that year, he fought the elements and various critters. The difficulty of the environement putted his physical limit to the test. Forcing him to go get everything he had inside to survive. The harshness finally unlocked his ability to channel magical energy from inside.
He first realised that he was gifted when he studied suspect wild berries, something inside told him they were poisonous, so He didn't touch them. He also discovered he was able to lit fire at night by simply pointing it.
He finally returned to his village, greeted by all (Rendrak was always appreciated by all). But the shaman quickly realised that he was able to control magic. Scared that the young new commer would take his place he quickly convinced the rest of the village that Rendrak had made some pacts with some demon he encountered in the waste in exchange for his power. Not very intelligent and trained with words he had no choice but to exile himself. That's how his adventuring life started.
He left the waste for civilisation. The shock was enormous. Rendrak wasn't prepare for it. There he met a group of adventurer of questionable morality. For a few years he travel and fought with them.
But last night things turned ugly and his five compagnion were killed when they attacked a dragon heads on. He survived only because he fell in a trap near the entrance. By the time he got out his friend were all in the belly of the beast, He run away. He is now sitting in a tavern alone, completly lost without his friend, drinking a beer. He doesn't know what life will bring him

Appearance: Ghost is a silver-white warforged, with streaks of black obsidian layered in various lines through his mitral plates. He has silvery eyes, and wears a loose-fitting explorer's outfit made of darkweave.
Personality: Ghost is a bit naive and easy to manipulate. He greatly trusts other people, often even in the face of obvious treachery. He is content to follow orders so long as he is able to hone his skills. Nevertheless, he is very intelligent, although he typically assigns his intelligence towards solving mechanical puzzles. He enjoys working with complex devices of all kinds, and loves to disassemble them to see how they work. His skills also allow him to re-assemble devices, and he's become rather good at repairing traps, weapons and warforged.
Background: Ghost was created by House Cannith and designed to be a sapper and infiltrator during the War. He was sold to the Kingdom of Breland, and was used for missions of infiltration and subterfuge. He dug under castles and disabled their gates. He sneaked into fortresses and removed their traps so a strike force could go in. He was sent on rescue operations to liberate allies held as prisoner in various dungeons. He became an expert at breaking into secure locations, and a master of locks and traps of all varieties.
After the war, he was liberated from Breland's service, and found himself without purpose among the towers of Sharn. He was quickly scooped up by a criminal guild that manipulated him into serving their ends. He was productively engaged in liberating money and valuables from "evil doers" among the wealthy in Sharn. Eventually, he ran afoul of the law, and faced an extensive sentence, but his punishment was commuted if he would consent to serving the Brelish government once again.
He went to work for the King's Lanterns, and was trained in certain magical skills to further increase his ability to defeat magical traps and locks. He served several missions successfully, and was for the most part, content to have a purpose in his existence.
Ghost still serves the Brelish Crown, and has little ambition other than to make himself useful by perfecting his abilities.
