[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 3851160, member: 4441"] Everyone comes to Acheron to find fighters. There are many of the planes who will fight, and many more that are bred to it, by nature and profession. But few that are born with it in their blood, who breathe it every day, who live it with each motion, whose very bodies are a testament to battle. My kin are some of those few. Spikers, kin of the bladelings, we live for the battle that comes from the crashing metal of Acheron. Yet for all those that have hired my siblings and clan, I have yet to see outside my own world. My blades are sharp, my flail is heavy, my shield is thirsty for blood, but I was not chosen to walk with the war clans. Honor in battle is life, blood in battle is life, indeed, battle itself defines who we are. Why was I not chosen? Uncertainty plagued me, was carried in every thrust and stop, every slash and swipe. It dimished me even as I grew stronger in my craft. How could I fail when I hadn't even begun? It is said that hate in a warrior leans to reckless action, that desire would rob me of my edge, that curiosity only annoyed potential employers. Yet I hate that I was not chosen. I desire to fight beyond the cube of my clan. And I am curious about those that have left and never returned. I have broken from my sept and clan, I have finally journied away from Acheron, and I hope this Sigil, this Cage, holds the battle I seek. If I fail myself this time, at least I will have died trying. My name is Pierce Spinecrusher, I am a spiker from the Infernal Battlefields of Acheron, and I am here to fight. ~~~~~ Okiday, so that's just kind of a thumbnail sketch of my potential character, a spiker fighter (from the Planar Handbook), specializing in use of her body spikes and spiked shield as weapons, along with most other jagged and unpleasant things the cross her path. (I'd like to get the Blood Spiked Charger tactical feat from PHB II at 6th level.) Like many from Acheron, she's a rebel without a cause, so to speak, and will probably lend her skill to any who could afford her. She desperate to prove her nebulous worth to herself, but not so desperate she'd sell herself short. Given the proper motivation, she could become quite a devotee of a cause, provided there's lots of fighting involved. So, she'd be kind of a berk. She'd have heard some tales of other planes, but filtered primarily through the eyes of other fighters, so they'd be pretty distorted and a little monotonous. Most of what she sees is entirely new to someone who's spent her entire life looking for the next fight. How's that strike you Cage Rattler? [/QUOTE]
