I'll go ahead and start work on my human savant.
Can we use The Mind's Eye as a refference for psionics?
I'm going to begin building my character assuming that we can unless you say otherwise.
Looking forward to this.

I didn't see treasure mentioned so I'm going to use the amount listed for a 6th level character in the DMG. (13,000 Translated to DS of course.)
Let me know if we are using something else.
Also, I'm planning to take a few levels of Bruce Cordell's revised Metamind if you don't mind.
How are you going to handle scaling powers and Trigger? What about freely manifesting a power and scaling it?
My Suggestion: Trigger and Freely Manifesting (see Metamind) a power only pays the initial cost of the power. All scaling costs must be paid seperate.
Here he is so far...

Looks good. I hope to be piecing together the last of my story this week so figure mid-January for a start-up.
For other books I will allow:
Fist and Steel
Defenders of Faith
Tome of Blood
Song and Silence
Nature one ( I forget it's name--- my bad)
If thoughts could kill
Also the obvious-
Player's Guide
DMG
Burnt World of Athas OFFICIAL stuff
Coming but not in use at this point-
Quin. Psychic Warrior and Psion
Keep in mind, creatures can come from ANY resource I have. I found a few in Oathbound that look intrigueing.
As far as money / treasure. Use the DMG recommendations for money/treasure. If I see something I don't like I'll kindly ask you to switch it out (or die swiftly as a Kragling).
Ashrem Bayle, since you took the time to get the character together already consider yourself in.
Happy New Year!

Description and Background:
Wandering the surroundings of Kalidnay is a lonely creature by the name of Drinchek. In a world almost totally decimated by irresponsible use of magic, he had the poor misfortune of being born to wizards. Like many of the highly adaptable humans of Athas, Drinchek was born with a deformity, though his was due to direct stimuli.
While still in the womb, his mother's defiling magicks stole pieces of Drinchek's life essences leaving him less than he might have been. When he was born amidst the after echoes of the Purges, his frame was hideous to behold. Hairless, colorless, with atrophied muscles, and a piteously weak cry his was a face only a mother could love. But even his mother didn't.
Alessia looked upon her newborn son with something akin to disapointment mixed with contempt. Her new life was one of forced secrecy and of practicality that required her to blend in as much as possible. Her feeble little offspring didn't look like it would last the summer, much less be able to blend in. So amidst at least some regret, she left the babe in its bed and disappeared when next her steps were hounded. He had already drained her of enough resources, the child could not be sustained any longer.
Fortunately, a cadre of Preservers who were pursuing Alessia discovered the abandoned child in her now stripped hovel only a couple days later. Dehydrated and malnourished he was near death and incapable of so much as a whimper when they happened upon him.
It was they who named and raised the child.
Drinchek never really fully recovered. He is still colorless and feeble, his body provides little protection against the harsh elements. But a natural resilience has developed in him that has so far prolonged his life. His whisper-soft voice and ultra shyness results from being constantly wrapped in concealing clothes, protecting his delicate skin.
Nature though, often compensates for lost abilities. Drinchek is possessed of a savant nature that allows him to recall in vivid detail (whether or not he would like to) nearly everything he has ever experienced. As such he is knowledgeable to the extreme in areas he has had the opportunity to learn about and he has developed certain mental powers.
Unlike most lonely teenagers, Drinchek not only imagined having friends but sometimes could actually talk to them or play with them. But in the end, ectoplasmic automatons are not a replacement for people, and Drinchek became even more introverted.
One day, when the Preservers were moving on to another lead, he simply wandered off. Sometimes in the wastes people will tell of seeing a shrouded man surrounded by strange creatures of no pigmentation and all different shapes and forms.
(Edit: By the way, I'm hoping to extend him into the Constructor class in time.)
Here are some pictures I found to get across the feel of the character.
