[QUOTE="TheMaskhaoticOne, post: 6981787, member: 6871394"] [FONT=verdana]I've decided on building a Warforged Battlemind out of the UA release on Psionics. I have picked the race, the class, and I am to start him at Level 8 to join up with the current party. Now I want to flesh him out and give him a backstory of sorts, but all I have is a concept of my character. [/FONT] [FONT=verdana]Warforged. His name - Marathon.
