[pathfinderq1]

Name: Thea (Amalthea Vansair)
Race: Human (Breland)
Class/level: Beguiler 4
Alignment: CG

Description: [sblock]Thea (who hasn’t answered to or even heard her full name in years) is a small young human woman, both short and slender. She stands no more than five feet tall, and weighs just about 100 pounds. She has long wavy dark hair, a fall of soft black tresses she usually keeps pulled back in a simple braid. She has a very pale, almost luminous complexion and her eyes are a very light grey- when she was growing up the other children sometimes taunted her as “changeling girl”, not dreaming how close that was to truth… Her dragonmark is on the back of her left shoulder- a small swirl of red and black surrounded by smooth “scar” tissue that looks like an old burn mark. She is careful to keep it concealed at all times.
She tends to dress in simple, almost severe garb- typically plain trousers and a high-collared coat of darkweave fabric over light armor, with a soft floppy hat and a knee-length cloak (though she does have a suit of fancier glamerweave clothing for more festive times). She carries a small, well-made crossbow and a number of daggers- though she is often loath to rely on physical weapons.[/sblock]


Personality: [sblock]Thea is a perky, upbeat sort of person, generally inclined to see the good side of people or circumstances- she can also be more than a bit reckless. While she often tries to act somber and serious, this act doesn’t fool most people for long. When things take turn for the worse, she may display a streak of sharp-tongued sarcasm, but such bouts are typically short-lived- as soon as get better, she quickly reverts to her cheerful self. Her primary motivation is curiosity- she is often eager to try new things or explore new places. Her curiosity is often strongest when the object or information in question is something that she is supposed to avoid. As a general rule, Thea has always been better at dealing with things (puzzles, books, and tidbits of information) than she is at dealing with people- a trait that is a bit unusual for a beguiler… [/sblock]

History: [sblock]Thea grew up hardly knowing her parents at all- which is a bit odd, considering that she was with them all the time. No one ever seemed to know who her biological father was- in the grand scheme of things it didn’t really matter. Her adoptive father was a changeling named Zyg, and her mother was a human- and more importantly, both of her parents were spies in service to Breland. Throughout the Last War, they traveled all around the world on missions, flitting from place to place and identity to identity. While they seemed to love “their” daughter, it often seemed that her greatest value was as another layer of cover- whether they were displaced nobles or starving refugees, no one seemed to doubt their story with such a convincing “prop”. On the few occasions when their mission was unsuitable or too strenuous for Thea to be included, she was most often left with some of her father’s changeling kin in the chaotic city of Sharn- if her mother had any relatives left, they were never visited or spoken of. As she grew up, Thea’s curiosity and intelligence helped her pick up details from each new locale, and each new identity- she seemed to learn fragments of everything, though her impetuousness often led her into new discoveries before she had fully absorbed the old ones…
As Thea grew, it became apparent that she had a significant amount of magical potential. At first, this was just another amusing distraction- she took her arcane studies no more seriously than any of her other whimsical pursuits, much to her parents’ dismay. As she grew from a girl into a young woman, there were always other distractions, even in the war-torn and troubled world. But one day her parents went off on one of their most secretive and dangerous missions- and they never returned. Thea had been left in the care of one of her father’s kin, who masqueraded as a crazy old man in Sharn. As it happened, Gox was a beguiler of significant power and when it became apparent that Thea’s parents weren’t going to be coming back for her, “he” began to tutor her, as he would have taught his own children. For Thea, the loss of her parents had been a sobering experience, and she leapt into her arcane studies with a whole new outlook. By the time the Last War ended two years later, Thea was well on her way to mastering her magical abilities.
Now that official hostilities were over, Gox and Thea embarked on a lengthy journey- on one hand, it was an attempt to find out what had happened to her parents, and on another level it was both a grand tour and an opportunity to hone her talents. They traveled for nearly two years, wandering all across Khorvaire, tracing down rumors and contacts. Finally, though, they felt that they had found their answer- Thea’s parents had been in Cyre when it was destroyed, along with countless others.
While she and her mentor were badly shaken by that grim news, the journey had, in fact, sharpened Thea’s spellcasting- to the point where Gox felt his young protégé was ready to wander on her own. They returned to Sharn for a few weeks- but Thea found even that grand city was not as intriguing as it had once been. She was ready to make her own way in the world- but at her teacher’s urging, she sought out a few other young fortune-seekers to travel with. The world was a dangerous place after all, and Sharn had plenty of adventurers who might welcome such a talented compatriot… [/sblock]

Ivellious Phiarian has lead a pretty boring life, which bugs him to no end. He started traveling when he was 120, and been out on the road for the past five years. Unlike most elves, Ivellious finds excitement being around other races, and was traveling with a group for 2 of them. Then disaster stuck as when one night Ivellious went to scout around the area his group was in, only to find that they were slaughtered when he returned. His only clue to the murder was that one of his companions wrote the word Sharn with his blood. Ivellious has traveled to Sharn in hopes of finding those that killed his friends, and also to find a new adventuring group to join[/sblock]

[sblock=background]Able, known as Abe, was forged just as the war was about to end for the purpose of supporting and repairing Breland’s warforged troops, and he didn’t serve in the war. For that matter, he didn’t seem to have any real purpose. He used his skills as an artificer to make some money, and became interested in the origins of the warforged, suspecting that House Cannith was not the whole story. Perhaps the warforged were more than tools built for a pointless war among the other races that was over almost before he was forged, he figured.

For a time, the radical chauvinism of the Lord of Blades appealed to him. However, as he got to know more people, he rejected radical racism but still retains a high racial pride. He generally gives warforged customers a discount on his repair damage services, figuring that they have to help each other to claim their rightful place in society. He believes that warforged have advantages in business, especially as they don’t sleep. He lives in the city of Sharn where he uses the profits from the sale of his infusions to finance his research into the origins of the warforged, and he comes into contact with people of all of the common races.

He got drawn into adventuring when he witnessed a murder, and along with others he pursued the case. He came into conflict with warforged and other agents who were working in the name of the Lord of Blades, and made some contacts in House Cannith as the group sucessfully retrieved an item the House wanted from the ruins beneath Sharn. He found adventuring to be risky but potentially rewarding, and he has not shied away from certain opportunities that required combat. While he looks to his own profit, he also tries to do the right thing and will not take jobs that he deems unethical. His own charitable activities tend to involve rehabilitating violent warforged to become productive members of society.

Currently he has joined a new group of adventurers in Sharn as he has had unusual expenses and is low on cash, and he found himself craving more excitement in his life.[/sblock]

[sblock=Background]Faolan is a native of the Eldeen Reaches, the only child of Torin and Cliona, a wizard and druid, respectively, associated with the Greensinger sect. From a young age, Faolan showed a great aptitude for magic, and he became a pupil of both of his parents. They taught him the basics of magic, both the structured wizardry of his father and his mother's more primal magic, before he was placed in the care of an old elf named Kaellwyr. Kaellwyr was a wu jen, an elemental arcanist, who furthered Faolan's instruction in a fusion of bookish wizardry and older, elemental magic.

Faolan learned much from the tutelage of the aging elf, but after truly becoming a wu jen himself, Faolan left his family and the Eldeen Reaches behind to travel Khorvaire, seeking out more knowledge. He studied magic, the planes, the natural world, and the history of the continent, and even learned new languages--and is learning them still--in order to read dusty old tomes on the subjects. He learned the skills of alchemists and became something of an astrologer, studying the heavens and seeking out portents in the movement of stars and moons. He even developed theories that have caused many to label him eccentric, relating the elements to the senses, seasons, emotions, and even the organs of the body; Faolan claims that an imbalance of the internal elements results in everything from an individual's temperament and personality to his current health... And if given half a chance he will spend hours telling you all about this. And I do mean all. Faolan is quite enthusiastic about his research and his theories.

Faolan seeks to experience and learn everything that he can, but he is well aware that much of Eberron is too dangerous for him to traverse alone; thus far, he has mostly traveled through more civilized stretches of the Eldeen Reaches and the human nations. He has now made his way to Sharn, seeking others with whom he may more safely adventure across the continent and experience everything Eberron has to offer.[/sblock]

Description:
Blonde and blue-eyed, Gully keeps his hair and beard well-trimmed - a habit left over from his army days. Though he has put on some weight since the end of the war and his return to Sharn, he moves with a grace and economy that defies his expanding frame.

Personality:
Though generally an affable soul, Gully's brow is habitually furrowed in a worried-looking frown. His days scouting for the Brelish army seem to have put his nervous system in a perpetual state of high alert making it very difficult for him to let down his guard. Not that he's aware of it, really. He would, in fact, deny to his last breath that the war had had any particular effect on him at all. Still, he doesn't sleep well, doesn't have many friends, and some times drinks a bit more than he should.

History:
Gully grew up in the Cogs, under-supervised and over-stimulated. A wild child, bereft of discipline, he wrought every manner of havoc he could imagine. That he survived into adulthood is nothing short of a miracle. Adolescence for a dwarf, however, is of long duration, and the charms of absolute freedom, though many, are finite. Above all, Gully longed to belong - to someone, somewhere. The Brelish army seemed just the thing: all those years spent skulking through the dark could finally be put to some higher purpose. Upon enlisting, he was enrolled as a scout, put through a perfunctory training, and sent to the front. Again surviving by his wits, Gully often worked alone and at night, searching out the enemy, and then sneaking away to make his report. During the course of the conflict, he saw many things he wished he had not, and did a few things he wishes he could take back. But he doesn't talk about it. Not ever.

Since the war's end, he's back in Sharn, putting on some weight and trying to make a living. He's been doing some freelance work, mainly as a delver and tracker, and mainly for House Tharashk. He's diligent, thorough, and discrete, and he's making a bit of a name for himself. There's been some indication that the higher-ups in Tharashk might be interested in hiring him on full time, but Gully's not sure he's interested. He's thinking maybe he's had enough of belonging for a while.
