Sort of an introduction to Korjan Heurn
Jouph stumbled over the question. It was obvious that he hadn't done the reading. Rage poured through him, murderous rage, Jourph was trying to decieve him. With an act of supreme will power he pushed it down.
"Mr. Jouph, perhaps next time you can bother yourself to do the reading that was assigned." Korjan Heurn, professor of Metaphysical Geography in the prestigous Acadamy of the Arcane, with a pleasant smile, no sign of his inner rage showing, gently chiding his student.
His rise to tenured professor had been nothing short of miraculous, he had only been at the Acadamy for 3 years and he didn't even have grey in his beard (scandously he didn't even have a beard). Worse still he was just a scholar and not a practioner of the art. But his students loved him and his knowledge of the topic was without compare.
"Alright, perhaps some extra time will allow you to get caught up Mr. Jouph and not to be unfair to the rest of you, class is dismissed." The class seemed suprised at the sudden dismissal, more than a few looked disappointed.
A few moments later had him walking back to his rooms, he threw open the door and a beautiful young woman threw herself at him, kissing him wildly, with her legs wrapped around his waist. Instead of being moved back, he took a step into his room, closing the door behind him.
He disengaged himself from her, smiling. Lariel loved too throw him for a curve, playing pranks on him. It helped keep him from his dark moods.
She immediately noted that he was upset, she knew him too well, "What's wrong?"
It happened again and I can't stay here. Without my father's help, this is becoming harder and harder. Next time I may not be able to stop it. He spoke in her mind.
She was immediately serious, "Are you sure? I know how much you love it here."
I nearly ripped Jouph's head clean from his shoulders. Friendly, ackward Jouph. No, I can't stay here any longer.
"Well, what are we going to do now? Shepherd? Hermit? You have to come into contact with people sometime."
I have been thinking, perhaps back to the adventurer's path. Fighting injustices and all that. Perhaps I can die heroiclly before descending into madness. And this time I don't think there is any "we." You need to return home.
"Stop it! Don't think like that, you are stronger than that. You can beat this thing, the demon inside, you have held it at bay this long."
"And if you think that getting rid of me is that easy, you don't know me very well."
No, I didn't expect you to do the smart thing, but none the less I had to try.
"I promised your father I would look after you. And I am going to."
"I know." switching to regular speech, "I know, despite it all. Well, I suppose I should go tell the Headmaster there is soon to be a vacancy."
Korjan Heurn is the child of Vorkaine, god of luck and community and a fiend whom he never knew. He is an Infernal, the unwanted offspring of a god. Normally such entities are imprisoned away where they can not harm others, but Vorkaine was unwilling to do that to his child and being a god has it's perks. He went to hell itself and retrieved his child and used his power to prevent his son from devolving into a monster.
But Vorkaine has been killed, leaving his son to feel the ravages of his heritage as he slowly slips towards evil. Only his supreme will has kept him from sliding into the abyss.

My Character. I'll attach the build-guide, if you want to check it over.
Appearance: From the chest up, Wulfgar appears as a well-built though short human male with shaggy white hair, a tanned complexion, and deep hazel eyes. Unfortunately, his lower half tells a different story of his heritage, as he sports a pair of goat legs covered in white fur.
Background:
[sblock]
Born halfway up a mountain on Hezabron, in a human mining town named Bolagon, to a pair of perfectly normal human parents, Wulfgar and his cloven feet were... quite a surprise, to say the least. His parents believed him to be a demon and bad omen, and left him at the temple in a blanket, where the adepts took him in out of the icy northern cold. One particular priest fought for the young child, insisting that evil was a fact of upbringing, not birth, and helped secure for the young child a place within the church, or atleast at the home of the priest who took him in.
Of course, Wulfgar understood none of this until much later, and by then he had dealt with the misunderstood hatred of the populace of Bolagon for many years. Wulfgar had a very kind teacher though, and was blessed with a unique perspective which saw the good in everyone. Unfortunately, this unique perspective did not generally agree with the local constabulary, and Wulfgar spent much of his misspent youth explaining to the sheriffs and guards why he was knocking over the stands of corrupt merchants and assaulting bullies.
Oddly enough, this give-and-take relationship with the guards of the town led to a connection between Wulfgar and some of the wiser members of the guard who could see past the physical and observe the boy's true intentions. They came to the conclusion that if the silly brat was going to act out his own brand of justice, they should atleast help teach him about the "proper" version... with a little teaching of the finer points of bully-bashing on the side.
Wulfgar, however, was determined to see things his way, and only his way. After his eighteenth birthday he was "encouraged" to leave Bolagon before he wound up in the stockade. So Wulfgar set off to the wide world to right wrongs and help people, much as he had been set to doing during his stay in his home town.
His first trip down the mountain led Wulfgar to learn of the mysteries of magic. In his home town of Bolagon, even the highest priests were not capable of using magic to a great extent, so the experience was fresh and new to him. However, in the great coastal city of Pellamon, Wulfgar saw much decadence and excess caused by too much magical power. Too much was being wasted, and far too much was being abused for ill purposes. Through his observations, Wulfgar came to the conclusion that magic was just too powerful to be abused, and set his life to learning how to punish those who abused society through the use of magic.
After several years of training in the larger cities on the continent of Hezabron, Wulfgar returned up the mountainous passes to Bolagon with his knowledge and sought out the priest who had been his father-of-sorts. The town watch made it clear that Wulfgar was not welcome, but he shrugged off their protests. He knew that he was there to cause no problems. When he reached his father, Wulfgar heard of a great threat sweeping through the highlands and heading towards the town. A great pack of Ogre Magi and Goblinoid Shamans had grouped together an army, and as the living soldiers perished, they were brought back to serve as undead. The wave seemed unstoppable, and Wulfgar's father did not know what to do except leave town.
Wulfgar would have nothing of it though. His town was not going to be ransacked by these defilers while he still lived and breathed. In the dark of night he stalked out to the pass which the army had to come through, and waited. The army passed through, and still he waited. Finally the entourage of the Magi entered the pass, and Wulfgar knew his time had come. With one last prayer for the gods, and a promise to keep the mortal realms safe from magical abuse, he dropped down upon the group and started flashing his scimitar like an animal. With his training at hand, the battle was over quickly, and the army was without its leaders.
When he returned to Bolagon, however, Wulfgar was far from congratulated. The few remnants who had not fled the town outright began to throw stones at him and disbelieving his stories of defeating the magi. Their hatred of the beasts in the army, which was still oncoming even without its leaders, was spreading to the far more immediate beast of Wulfgar.
The army had been slowed by removing its leaders, however it was far from stopped. Amassed a scant few miles from town, the undead were being corralled towards the town by their living compatriots. This slow-moving advance scared the townspeople even more and they chased Wulfgar out of town with their stones, because Wulfgar knew that fighting back would be wrong... but standing still and taking it would just be stupid. Unfortunately, he was not going to leave his town, even if they hated him. So he stood on the field before Bolagon and waited while he prayed to the gods above for strength.
He waited for what seemed like ages for the oncoming army... facing an army of thousands alone for a town that hated him. Still he stood, defiant in the face of this great evil. He fought valiantly, and killed hundreds of the beasts as they came into town... however thousands, even leaderless, will eventually overwhelm a single man. Fortunately, his sacrifice gave the town time to bolster its defenses, and the wave of creatures crashed against it and dissipated. The undead were no longer being held to the battle by their living counterparts, and the living were being pegged off by arrows from building tops over the rough palisade. The marauding horde was no more... but neither was Wulfgar.
As Wulfgar's soul began to escape, a beautiful woman came to it with a laugh. She told him that he had fought valiantly without pause or second thought about defending those who hated him. She said that the fight was not over for him. She told him that his cause was just, and that it made her laugh to see the mortals abusing magic with such overwhelming hubris taken down by her agent. And so, she raised his spirit to continue its purpose - to rid the world of mortals who abuse magic for evil ends. His purpose continues even today as another great battle approaches.[/sblock]

Hi guys,
OK I'd really like to have a go at this. I'm keen on doing a janni (11 levels Planar Handbook)rogue (19 levels). I'm thinking the classic Robyn Hood type role, protector of the innocent, steal from the rich to give to the poor, stamp out evil, type guy.
If it's cool, and I'm in, I'll work on a PC over the next couple of days and hopefully have something posted before the week is out.
If anyone has any suggestions for other roguish type builds that might fit better please feel free to let me know before I get too far down the path of PC creation.
Cheers
Daz
