[sblock=Background]
No very strong, nor dexterous or having a strong connection to the feywild to draw upon, but bright, Erevan tried to follow the way of the wizard to defend himself.
It didn't take long to realize that he, despite of his great intellect, had no real talent in this formulated and bookish art of magic.
Focusing his learning on the mechanics of living bodies and the theory behind a successful sword fight, he still felt a distant pull from unknown magic...
But that was before the slavers came...

I plan to re-train Melee Training (Int) to Heart of the Blade (Swordmage Multiclass) and taking Intelligent Blademaster as my 2nd level feat.

[sblock=Background]
He often wondered, when he was able, whether things could have ended up any differently. He should have been dead many times over and, when they reached their destination, he most likely would be.

His “ability” had helped him escape the first time. His mother (he was sure it was her, wasn’t it? sister?) had told them about it so they would spare his life. He sometimes (often?) wished she hadn’t. Feeling when someone was lying – guilt, fear, embarrassment – was a very helpful thing for a bounty hunter’s pet to have. He was so young (5? 7? 9?) that, like a faithful hound, he adored – pride, self-worth, contentment - them for the scraps they gave him. And cowered – fear, shame, anger – from the punishments for failure. The Tyranny of the Lost had been his home.

Maybe base was a better word. He had travelled, that much he remembered. Where he travelled was far hazier. Following his master (masters? mistress?) from place to place, sniffing out those they hunted.
Which, he was sure, how he ended up here. A failed mission (sabotage? incompetence? by design?) in the Tyranny of Storms had found him captured. He contained a lot of information and they wanted it by any means. He was loyal (why?) and didn’t not give up anything (did he?) despite what they put him through. That year (6 months? 9? 18?) had felt the longest of his otherwise miserable, short life.

The torture had changed him, that much he knew. His body had been lost to him a long time ago (scars? reset bones? burn marks? regrown flesh? dizzy spells? loss of memory?). The only thing he had to hold on to were his emotions, and those of others that he felt. He had initially been overwhelmed by the volume but he had hung on – persistence, identity, stubbornness, anger – and something had snapped. No longer merely feeling emotion, he found control. First, he used them to help his eladrin friend. He had stuck up for him in the cells (fought? talked down? bullied?) and so he took away his pain – fear, abandonment. Then he had used them against his torturers. Feeding back pain and fear – satisfying, validating, pure – to those who inflicted it upon him. Soon they became uninterested – confused, reluctant, frightened – and he was left alone.

Until now. The price had been paid and he was being sent back. Probably to find out what he had told them (nothing? everything? truth? lies?). Or just to return their faithful hound. Either way he was a dead man. He would not be dictated to again. His life would be his own. He was broken. He was changed. He…no…Korvesh (his name? his identity?) would be free. And Korvesh would have his revenge.[/sblock]

Background:
Mary lived most of her life as a personal attendant for a prominent dragonlord, though back then she was known as Rose. She was picked out as a young age due to her beauty and her long flowing red hair that her lord strangely became obsessed with. She was selected to be by his side nearly all the time. Such responsibility required her to study and learn the culture and traditions of high class society, and also afforded her the chance to dabble in the arcane arts.
She longed for freedom however, and used what short time she had away from her master to practice in methods to escape, such as lockipicking, stealth, and swordsmanship. Eventually, she found her chance and slipped away from the clutches of her master. Using her skills gained as an attendant, she was able to blend seamlessly into society even being of an enslaved race. She soon found that freedom was not as easy to keep as it was to get. The enraged dragon sent hunting parties after her.
For years she had managed to elude the hunters, changing her appearance, coloring her hair black and cutting it short, assuming a new name. But they were always one step behind, and getting closer. Not confident in her ability to ultimatly escape, she devised plan to break into a slave caravan and blend into the masses as they travelled far away in hopes the trick would throw off her pursuers. Once they reached their destination, she would employ her skills to make good her escape and once again regain her freedom.

Grumi

A stout and short man, he resembles much the dwarfs which with he grew up and was raised by. As a baby, Grumi was abandoned, or his mother was killed and the baby was left to his fate. Luckily, a dwarf found him in his cradle; the baby was in bad shape, and lucky, as no wild animals had spotted or smelled him.
Miltak, so was named the dwarf wizard, took the baby with him, and raised him like his own son. Grumi learned from his adopted father the arts of the arcane, and decided to leave the remote place where his father lives, to see the world, since he only knew the caves where Miltak dwelt. Miltak tried to warn him of the dragons, of the perils that were waiting in every corner. But the human wonderlust was incompatible with the dwarven patience and precaution. Both father and son had their goodbye, and parted ways, with the promise that one day, they'll reunite.
But not long before Grumi started his own path, a band of Kobolds captured him, and sold him to slavery.

Words:[sblock]In her natural form as a changeling, Cimarron is alien and unattractive. Her short hair is the color and texture of straw, her features are sunken and inexpressive, her eyes black and void. However, Cimarron is almost never in her natural form.

Cimarron has a few favorite personas. While working under the nose of the dragons, she often appears as either a wizened old woman, the Crone, or a pitiable woman burdened by the swell of pregnancy, the Mother. But the form she takes among friends is that of a carefree and fun-loving young woman, the Maiden.

Cimarron's final persona of note, and her most carefully guarded secret, is that of the Heroine. In this form Cimarron embodies the virtues of the enslaved and stands up to the tyranny of the dragons. Rumors paint her as the reincarnation of a mortal hero, returned as an alabaster angel too beautiful to believe, swathed in diaphanous white and bearing a sword of moonlight. The reality is crafted of illusion and improvised shawls of white cloth, but if the faith is there, people will see what they wish to see.[/sblock]

Character Notes and Build Design:
Most of the stuff I've picked is from the Primal Power book. Using the Primal Swarm, her Wild shape is what looks like a viscous panther from a distance, but an ugly one...it looks like she is covered with small moving creatures, flees, bugs, etc. When you get closer, she is a panther made up of hundreds and hundreds of tiny bugs that is taking the form of a panther/large kitty. All kinds of insects swarmed together... beetles, flys, crickets, bugs of all kinds and varieties. A dauntless amount of chitin, stingers and mandibles

Even when not wild shaped, she has some bugs buzzing around her. She can't help it, they love her.

Aurora is a resistance fighter who stays on the fringes of towns and the more civilized areas and keeps to the forests and wilderness, blazing trails for people on the run to keep them from becoming targets of the Dragon's tyranny and rule. She works in tandem with others who work more in the towns, helping runaways and slaves escape and hopefully find freedom for them elsewhere.

She wants to bring down the Tyrannies, and will use any power at her disposal to someday achieve this goal.

Her reason for this, besdies just seeing the injustice of it all, is that when she was younger she witnessed a small group (maybe part of an army) invade her town and kill her parents and used her brother in the arena as a slave. She was young enough to not warrant being used for gladiatorial purposes, but when she saw her first opportunity to run she did, vowing revenge. She never saw your brother since, and feels he is dead.

It was during this period when she ran away, before the age of 10, that she found a glade full of spirits, insect spirits, and she made a pact with them. She would be an instrument for them to help them balance the world, and she would use them to help her get revenge on those who killed her family. What started as revenge turned into a life long quest to fight back against Tiamat's forces.
