[OOC] [Dark Sun] Marauders of the Dune Sea
Well, poo. It's changed on my submission.

Adventurer
Aisop, the Eladrin Bard.
A wandering teller of tales, a dabbler in the forbidden arcane arts, a liar, cheat, thief and all around good guy.
Watch this space for more information.
[sblock=background]I've never quite understood why they made me leave my homeland. What use is there to all this knowledge if we never use it? Enforced ignorance is a path to irrelevance, stagnation and cultural death. Oh, there are risks in the arcane, to be sure, but far better to teach the correct path to power than to pretend it doesn't exist and leave all like me to fumble their own way through the darkness. The magic was never even that important, merely something I dabbled in from time to time. Hardly dangerous at all.
Of course, they didn't see it quite like I did, not that I was given much chance to explain my position. It is quite difficult to speak one's piece when all around you, your friends, family and kin bay for your blood, and so I set forth into this world. The deserts are brutal, more blighted even than my own home, but they can also be possessed of a harsh beauty and wonder in their own way.
My first encounter upon my journey was a brush with the elves, those barbarian cousins of my own people. Similar in so many ways, but strangely alien in others. They have been sharped by the world until they cut all who come near. This band of nomads was filled with a deep distrust, ingrained deception and a borderline lethal sense of humor. I fit right in. It took some time for them to accept my presence in any way, but I traveled with them regardless. From them I took everything I could, stealing in my own way. When I eventually went my own way, I took with me every tale, story and scrap of knowledge that I could glean.
Since then, I have wandered the world for many more years. Trading stories and knowledge to make my way, and aquiring more and more in turn. I am still blessed or cursed with an endless curiosity, but luckily there are always those who are seeking what I know, or can learn.[/sblock]
Note: Aisop doesn't own a +1 wand and a +1 dagger, those are just there to make the math work, since inherent bonuses aren't available yet.

Ka'cha sat quietly against the ruined wall. He shook his head as the rain fell. It rarely seemed to fall anymore. Nothing nourished the world. No healing, no life. Pain and death were all that seemed obvious. He closed his eyes and entered torpor. He felt his mind wonder down the trail it had drifted so many times before. The fires, the screams of death. His Clutch heard the screams when they began. He could remember the debate on what they should do, ultimately they made the wrong decision.
They ran into the night, toward the fires. Defilers, not very many, yet more than enough. The Clutch didn't slow, but ran straight into the group. Ka'cha could feel the emotion, feel the sensations of combat. He felt the blow land across his back. He could see the darkness close on him. He could feel himself fall into the well.
His eyes opened from the torpor. He shook his head, If he had been stronger, if he had been quicker, more attuned...

Here's what I came up with.
Belros Trickfoot was a halfling living in the forest ridge until he was savagely kidnapped by elven raiders a couple years ago. He was brought to Tyr and sold into slavery. Along the way, he learned what a savage place the rest of the world was, heard stories about how it got to be that way, and gained a righteous anger about the state of the world in general. He was recently freed along with the other slaves of Tyr and will dedicate his life to trying to protect what is left of nature and restore it if he can. He has become a warden with the primal guardian theme.

It's a risk, but I like the story enough, and the weirdness enough, to take that risk. Raw mechanics are ready. Background will follow shortly.
Omega, level 2
Warforged, Warden
Guardian Might: Earthstrength
Background: Experimental Prototype (+2 to Athletics)
[sblock=Descripton]Omega is a broad, hulking, brutish-looking thing fashioned from roughly hewn slabs of obsidian bound together with some kind of tough, woody fiberous material that permits flexibility of joints, neck and midsection. Its head is a slighly asymetrical chevron shape, with only a pair of lights burning within the obsidian to show where its eyes are. It lacks other facial features entirely, though it has no trouble speaking, smelling or hearing.
Interspersed at various intervals around Omega's vaguely humanoid body are indentations and grooves carved carefully into the obsidian. The purpose of these ornamentations is as yet unknown.[/sblock]

Have I really been on this site for over 20 years!
Recruiting is closed,
I've decided that I just can't decide... I'm gonna rewrite the encounters for 8.
Everyone who hasn't posted a full character writeup please do so today.
I'll get the IC thread up hopefully tonight possibly in the morning though.

I spoke to DarwinofMind and asked if I could revamp to a Shaman. He said it would be ok. So at least you will have some help.
