waterskin(4), ID papers w/portrait, house Denieth signet ring, 23 gp, Medium Load[/sblock]

Background: [sblock]Aldin d'Denieth, dragonmarked scion of House Deneith. He's a young warrior of his
clan, trained in elite defensive maneuvers and devoted to the idea that his family's fighting style is the
best there is, and their reputation as warriors should be impeccable. Being bred for command, Aldin
has been sent out to gain real-world experience and training before he settles down to the command of a
group of Denieth mercenaries. His parents felt that accepting the call to fight in Western Breland (they
refuse to aknowledge what the rabble now call the region) is just the crucible in which to forge young
Aldin into an unbreakable blade.[/sblock]

Appearance: [sblock]Aldin is handsome, with a square jaw, fair skin, close-cropped jet black hair, and
piercing blue eyes. He almost always has a look of intensity on his face. He is rarely seen outside of his
chainmail and green and yellow tabard, with purple chimera embroidered on the breast. His shield is painted
with the Chimera emblem of house Deneith, and his simple bastard sword looks well taken care of, if not
particularly fancy.[/sblock]

Personality: [sblock]Aldin tends to be rather serious for one so young. He hates practical jokes, and
tends to get pleasure out of stories of war and Sovereign Host morality tales. [/sblock]

Background: [sblock]Sylas was a very sickly child who was nearly killed with fever. His parents had almost given up on him when he started seeing and talking to someone named "grandfather crow". One night, late, Sylas wandered out into the wilderness, sneaking away from his family, led by some unseen force.

His time in the wilderness is a mystery, not least of all to him. He learned many strange and terrible things from grandfather crow, and when he finally found his people again, and returned to them, they were frightened by his new and strange power, but rejoiced that he had returned to them. HE had gained wisdom while he was away, and in his family's travels, he earned money as a fortune teller, and gained a reputation as a wise and knowledgeable sage. One day, as his clan was picking up to move once more, grandfather crow mentioned that it was time to go off alone again, that the time had come to learn new and exciting and very dark things. This time, as Sylas ventured forth, he found some companions with which to learn about the world. He started developing a very close tie to nature, being gifted by the spirits of nature with strange gifts...and in some cases having to pay terrible prices.[/sblock]

Appearance: [sblock]Sylas is small, even by halfling standards. He looks sickly, though he tries to hide most of his frailty beneath thick, dark robes and cloaks. If one looks very closely at him, they may notice a particularly unusual rustling of his robes, as if, perhaps, there is a tail beneath them.[/sblock]

Personality: [sblock]Sylas is a very serious and spooky individual. He is vengeful and prideful. He is very much more inclined to follow his instincts and his philosophies rather than follow his intellect. He is loyal to friends, and protective of the weak. He does not stand for anyone to cross him, however, and such annoyances invariably earn Sylas's wrath.[/sblock]

Description: [sblock]Bendis is a child-sized, thin character of indeterminate age. His face has a number of scars on it that stand out against his splotchy complexion. His hair is light read, thin, and worn back in a pony-tail. His beard is cut close, but coaxed into a curl at the bottom. His eyes, both intense green, seem to be sizing everyone up, waiting for them to make a comment about his freakish appearance.[/sblock]

Personality: [sblock]Bendis is a man of short stature, but of high aspirations. Brash and short tempered, Bendis has been forced to developed skills and abilities that can back him up when his words fail him. He has a soft spot for anyone who is willing to look beyond his appearance, and see his true worth, which is, in Bendis' eyes anyway, very high. Bendis has a capacity for loyalty and friendship that is not obvious based on his short temper and few friends.[/sblock]

History: [sblock]Born the son to the wealthy merchant, Allistair Lancaster, and his wife, Liilian Lancaster, Bendis was immediately reviled and hated by his parents. Growing up, Bendis was raised by the servants of his household in Malador. His only friend was his brother, elder by 4 years, Bryan. Bryan was admittedly shy around Bendis early on, but as they grew up and grew close, Bryan saw past Bendis's exterior and grew to love his brother, helping him out of lots of trouble with their very strict father over the years. Bryan was given everything in the Lancaster house, and Bendis, nothing.

Eventually, Bryan was caught up in the adventuring fever, and being an excellent swordsman and an intellegent young lad, Allistair saw an opportunity. He funded an expedition for his son, hired him companions, and sent him across the seas to find a fortune in the ruins. Bendis, left to fend for himself, ran away from home, and took to living on the streets. After running from a number of unfortunate fights, he met a man named Fallstar the Fabulous. Fallstar looked like a fat, old drunkard, but he defeated a number of younger men al looking to harm Bendis. He took yound Bendis under his wing, and taught him a number of sword techniques, enabling Bendis to defend himself. Fallstar left Malador as well, but he gave Bendis a pair of blades built for his stature before he was called to parts unknown.

One month ago, Bendis was found by his father. His father told him that his brother, Bryan was likely dead, and his expedition lost beyond the sea. He offered Bendis funding to go across the waters and to bring his brother, or his brother's remains, home. If he could find some proof of his brother's death, or better yet, his brother alive and well, home again, he would receive enough wealth to set himself up comfortably for a long time. If he could find neither? Then he should never, ever come back to his father's house again. Not that Bendis had ever actually INTENDED to return home in the first place...but he does care enough about his brother and the prospect of money to do some searching. [/sblock]

Notes: [sblock]Leyton has travelled far and wide over the last 9 years. He simply goes where opportunities take him, and tries to help those along the way he can. He has recieved a number of gifts for jobs well done. He recieved his spear for some excellent military service on behalf of [city], his bow as a going-away present from his family, his cloak as a gift from some Fey who needed their groves protected, his periapt and ring from a hidden trasure trove he found for a destitute family, and his other various nick-nacks from travellers he has aided, healed, or defended ove rthe years.

In a city, he tends to go from bar to bar and listen to the stories told, and offer the occasional story of his own. He is really trying to look for an opportunity to do something next: to go on another journey.[/sblock]

Philosophy: [sblock]Leyton has sought, over the years to discover universal truths. By discovering these truths, and fully understanding them, he has been able to unlock great powers in his mind. He has mastered 4 Truths and taken them up as his sources of powers, and he is currently working on solving and understanding another.

The Truths of Freedom and Conflict: Life is a series of journies and conflicts from which you learn all things. Embrace the journey, seek out new roads, and be prepared for learning.

The Truth of Living: Death is the only end of the journey, and in death nothing else can be learned. Avoid death and an end to learning if at all possible.

The Truth of the Mind: Many of the Conflicts that shall try and impede your journey are conflicts of the mind. Realize your full mental potential to maximize your life's journey.
The Truth of the Body (in progress): Many of the Conflicts that shall try and impede your journey are conflicts of the flesh. Realize your full physical potential to maximize your life's journey.[/sblock]

Background: [sblock] When I was a boy I ran in the streets of Sigil, an orphan to some fight or another. I don’t know, because I was alone from a very young age-I can’t even recall the name my parents gave me. I was found by a street king, a broker of young thieves and tramps, only me and a single blade-my lone birthright. The street king named me for the single word inscribed on the blade-Halidon. In the streets of the city I learned many things. I learned that this world is hard, and that the only being truly trustworthy is yourself and your skill. I learned when to fight, when to flee, and when to attack another day. Late at night I would sneak into the armory, for I heard a strange voice, and that voice taught me how to find the peace at the center of war, and how to meditate upon that peace. One day the voice revealed itself to me-it was the blade, Halidon. I took up the blade from my master, the street king, and set out into the city.

I am sure my master pursued me, as I took a valuable possession from him, and a valuable sneak thief, picking the pockets of visitors from every plane. I had learned about the cosmos on the streets, though, being of independent though, I had not taken a faction. I decided that going to a faction for protection was foolish-they could let me down, and I would die. So I sought training-the ability to protect myself. I heard that the old Armory had recently been reopened, and turned into a school of training. I ventured there, paid what money I had, and was trained in the arts of swordplay by some of the greatest swordsmen in Sigil, Sir Karllakton Pierce, the gleaming lade of the morning, and Hazzakyltillcon, the Quickdeath. Everyday, with my training I was told the wonders of the Harmonium, and quickly realized that the Armory was nothing more than their attempt to convert those needing a place to train, a place to convert warriors to their cause, I place for people like me. I soon felt I knew all I needed, and left Sigil, voyaging out, into the Outlands, to ensure my survival, and to use my skills, and to learn more of the ways of the planes.

In the outlands, I met The Master. He told tales of war, and tales of inner strength, and taught me the Ways of the Transcedent Order. He spoke to me of personal strength, of inner power, of unlocking all that one could be through denying everything of this world that slows one down, and I listened, and believed. The Harmonium always rang false with me, for their discussions of collective good never took into account the greatness individuals could achieve, or the weakness that reliance bred. That night I was taken into the ranks of the Ciphers, and I have traveled, trained, and fought with the master since. We both seek something different, but the challenges we have overcome have been the same, and the lessons have been powerful.

Description Halidon is a tall skin individual. His thin wirey black hair falls past his shoulders. He has pale skin, largely untouched by the sun. He typically wears a long cloak over his shoulders, drawn tight against a cold that few feel. Were he to let his cloak fall they would see the stump of his left arm. Born without an arm, he has adapted. There is something beyond his dark purple eyes that most seem to find unnerving. At times when looking deep into his eyes, it almost feels like there is more than one person looking out from them. Indeed when in areas of 'shadowy illumination' or darker, pale purple after images of two other faces seem to hover nearby. The pale ioun stone orbiting his head tends to distract anyone trying to focus to intently on the after images.

Background When I was a boy I ran in the streets of [insert big
city here]. I was found by a street king, a broker of young thieves and
tramps, only me and a single blade. The street king named me for the
single word inscribed on the blade-Halidon. In the streets of the city I
learned many things. I learned that this world is hard, and that the only
one truly trustworthy is yourself and your skill. I learned when to fight,
when to flee, and when to attack another day. Late at night I would
sneak into the armory, for I heard a strange voice, and that voice taught
me how to find the peace at the center of war, and how to meditate
upon that peace. One day the voice revealed itself to me-it was the
blade, Halidon. I took up the blade from my master, the street king, and
set out into the world.

When I walked the paths of the world I was lead to a monastery far into
the mountains. There I was taken in by the warrior monks, and there, I
left the world for a time. The monks taught me how to forge myself into
an extension of my blade, and in that time, Halidon the Weapon, and
Halidon the Man, became merely Haldion, The Blade. With great learning
and power I set off into the world, this time to learn not from street
thieves and not from sequestered monks, but from experience, relying on
the weapon I had become, and the skills I had learned to survive.

One day, as my companions and I were venturing forth to stop a vile god from destroying the universe, my soul was transfered into one Kageri Yume, and now I walk as an Ardent, in the three-fold mind of a Synad.[/sblock]

Background: [sblock] During his time with the Iron Ravens, Breyer was actually rather pleasant, never letting the situation get to him, always talking about how "This ain't so bad" and trying to keep up morale. Since the Ravens broke up, something seems to have happened to him and caused him to change. He was one of those with the ravens from the very beginning, following them out of Karrnath and into the war.

In the 4 years since the Ravens disbanded, he has returned to the Mror holds, and wandered the northern areas of Karrnath, Mror Holds, and even the Laazaar Principalities. He doesn't speak about what happened to him in the north, but he has come back a changed dwarf.

He was surprised to receive a letter, but ever loyal and honorable, despite his changed outlook on life, he has decided to go to his commander for this one, last job.

He's always talking about how "the Last War weren't nuthin' compared to the one thas' comin' next." and how "The big one is gonna try an' eat us all up-only those as have prepared are gonna make it, an' I plan on being with them." When asked how he knows these things he rarely gives reasons, he just looks knowingly at the offending questioner until one or both forget what the question was. If pressed, he'll remind the upstart "I've been trained in secrets and magics far older than anything you can fathom! Mine is the magic that put down invasions of demons and wars between dragons! But don' listen to me...and don' ask for my help when the big one comes!"

Background:
[sblock]Dr. Emerson Walden was a professor of American Literature at the University of Mississippi, in Oxford for years until he was wrongfully accused of sleeping with one of his students. To avoid a scandal, the University asked Dr. Walden to leave, and gave him a fairly decent severance package. His leaving seen as an admission of guilt, he has been unable to find gainful emplyment as a professor since. After being asked to join the Transcendence program, Dr. Emerson Walden has found himself with a new lease on life, and a desire to guide the new generation of people down their true path to greatness.[/sblock]
Description:
[sblock]Emerson isn't in the best of shape, though he stays healthy. He is 5'11", and his slowly developing belly brings him to a round 200 lbs. He looks pretty good for a 45 year old, though his hair has been completely white since he graduated college, making him look a few years older. He prefers to wear 3 iece suits with ties, though, since his transformation he has aquired a kevlar vest that he is trying to decide how best to decorate and adapt to a new way of dressing that specifically adresses the uniquiness of his own position as a transcendant.[/sblock]
