[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 3930781, member: 40413"] Cool. I have no problem with my pc's background being linked to anothers. I like the connection to a water shugenja especially with the watered steel swords and the water symbol of the Badiya family that I worked into my pc background. I'll do more work on my history and add it in tonight or tomorrow. The basic premise floating around in my head was that his family was hunkered down waiting for a sandstorm to pass when their livestock begins going wild. Tents are slashed open and things spill in masked in wind, blowing sand, and fire. Kerim catches the tip of a sword in the face (hence the scar) but before whatever it is can kill him the tent collapses and Kerim is knocked unconscious. He wakes up later and most of the tents are burnt, his family and livestock killed. He finds his father's body and takes the matching watered steel cutlasses (family heirloom). He also finds a page from a book of divination clutched in his fathers hand. The front side would have an I-Ching type of reading and the back would have a crude map of the east and the Badiya family symbol giving Kerim a reason to head east (this part is still rather sketchy in my mind). He wanders off into the waste, stumbles across a family horse that managed to survive the attack which likely saves his life, and eastward. I'm not horribly attatched to any of this so I welcome suggestions, changes, additions, etc. Just let me know. [/QUOTE]
