Ravin grew up in Luskan. He spent a lot of time trying to fit in but never actually could manage to stay up with the more physical groups who played in the streets. So he started staying inside more and being bored more as well. And as kids can, he started annoying his mother and she decided to send him to the library where others could watch him. He however found a new life waiting for him at the library, a life limited only by his slight frame and the books he could get off the shelf. There were several nights over the next few years he was at the library until after dark. His mother would always do the same thing, come get get him take him home and ground him but it never worked she would always relent and he would always be able to go back within a few days. He explored his intellect until one day there was a fire at home. He was trapped inside his parents house until a paladin burst in and saved him. He was burned almost beyond recognition but again thanks to the paladin he escaped with a minor scar over his arms and legs. A scar like the flame itself. He spent the next several years as a wizards apprentice, he was intent on not being as weak as he felt he was trapped by the fire.
After becoming a successful wizard he had another incident which involved fire. He had a failure with one of his spells and he ended up burning his house down and everything he owned as well but he himself aside from being naked he was untouched. He finally realized he should embrace the flame and he after that he did.

Here's a slightly less rough draft of Mecholithi's history... I'm pretty flexible about it if anything needs to be changed to fit the game.
Mecholithi was born in Harrowdale, the conservative country atmosphere was an ill fit from the start. Her parents are both clerics of Ehlonna and have chosen a quiet life of introspection and contemplation. Her eldest sister has followed in their footsteps. The middle sister is a sorceress, and like their parents, enjoys a peaceful life full of simple pleasures. Mechothli was a constant trial to her parents, who loved her greatly but did not understand her. The question, “Why can’t you be more like Meneltarm and Malinalda?” was oft asked by her parents and the others in their village.
Frustrated at their inability to mold Mecholithi into their quiet life, her parents sent her to Silverymoon and her Aunt Eissabelth. Eissabelth worked as a mercenary and was able to give Mecholithi the skills to protect herself when her constant quests for adventure got her into trouble and instill in the young elf a sense of discipline and purpose. She fought and trained with the company until her aunt retired, and then began doing freelance work.
Ironically, shortly after Mecholithi left the provincial region, Harrowdale Town became a significant trading post. Bringing visitors from the outside world and new ideas to Harrowdale.
Aunt Eissabelth retired about six years ago and Mecholithi began doing security and guard work both for the city of Silverymoon and for individual patrons. The skills learned for battle and high adventure make her a fearsome warrior; the discipline and loyalty to one’s employers learned from her Aunt and the other mercenaries make her an excellent bodyguard. Like many other aspects of her life, Mecholithi tends to take her work very (some would say too) seriously.
She has not heard from any member of her family since the troubles began.

Ok, we need a story from shaff. But as for the rest...
Calim: Would it be in character for Ravin to take $2,500gp from a mysterious figure to assist a group in a mission that will culminate in the firey destruction of the Temple of Umberlee?
Tanstaafl: Would it be appropriate for Mecholithi to be asked by the wood elves of the High Forest, who she happens to currently be working for, if you don't mind), to immediately join a group of adventurers in Luskan after a cleric that they sent on that mission was captured. She is to recover her comrade and aid them in completing their mission.
Are those two acceptable?
