Haven't modified Dorn since his earlier appearance, but here he is again. Some notes on where my equipment is located are appended at the end. If you don't want all the background here let me know and I'll chop it out.
Dorn Hardwood
Human Fighter 9
S14 D12 C18 I15 W8 Ch12
AC:21 (+10 full plate, +1 Dex)
hp:101 (9d10 + 36 con +6 feat)
Init:+1 Speed:20
Melee: +1 Greataxe +13/+8 (1d12+6/crit 19-20/x3)
Ranged: Mighty Comp. Longbow +10/+5 (1d8+2/crit x3)
AL: LG
F/R/W: 12/6/6
Skills: Climb 3, Craft: carpentry 6, Craft: Woodcarving 5, Heal 2 (4), Jump 35, Listen 3, Ride 7, Spot 3, Use Rope 4 (6), Wilderness Lore 4.
Feats: Alertness, Close Quarters Fighting, Dwarven Toughness, Faster Healing, Improved Crit: Greataxe, Iron Will, Power Attack, Survivor, Weapon Focus: Greataxe, Weapon Spec: Greataxe
Languages: Chondathan, Illuskan, Dwarven, Elven, Orc, Midani, and Comman
Equipment: +2 Full Plate, +1 Greataxe, Cloak of Resistance +2, Ring of Jumping, Coif of Ferocity, Periapt of Proof Against Poison, Potions of CLW (2), CMW, CSW, and Blur. Heavy warhorse w/Banded barding, 2 mules, explorers outfit, traveller's outfit, and noble's outfit (just went to a ball, needed to look good), carpentry tools, woodcarving knives, many personally carved holy symbols of Ilmater, flask of holy water. Healer's kit, climbing kit, silk rope. (this leaves me with my lifesavings of about 1200 gp, which is financing my stay in Silverymoon)
Dorn's story: It's all about staying power. I've lived in the North all my life, and I've seen 'em come and go. Plenty of men can deal out pain and death, but they never last. You have to take the pain too, and if you do, you're a survivor.
My family grew up in the Moonwood, as tough a place to make a living as you'll find. Logging and building, making it thru the winters, no weaklings there! But trees ain't all there is to cut in the Wood. Black Blooders, orcs a plenty, monsters and creatures, evils walk the land. At least 'til I get there.
Started young and never stopped. Got a good hold, free to work your land, but plagued by monsters? I'm here to help. Anywhere good, honest, hardworking folk need a blade, you'll find me.
I stayed in Silverymoon all winter. Living easy after nearly a year of fighting trolls and giants, but it's time to get back to work. What we got here, that ain't right. Somebody's gotta stop it, and that's what I do. Who else is in?
Description: Short and stocky, Dorn's a hard man. When ready for action, Dorn's a wall of metal, full plate, visor down, big-ass axe in hand. Bow on his back and a light pack. Outside of the armor, Dorn's tanned and blonde with shaggy hair and clean shave. Scars on the knuckles and not on the face...think about it.
Notes on equipment: I’ve been in Silverymoon for a while, and the North all my life. I have a regular armorer here in Silverymoon, and I normally store my armor and greataxe with him. He’s a dwarf named Khondar Brighthammer, and I’ve fought for his clan many times. He also holds my horse’s barding and my carpentry tools.
My horse and mules are stabled in town as well, and the rest of my belongings are usually in my room at the inn, one of the better ones in town. I always keep my Cloak, my Ring, and the Periapt with me, as well as the potions. I usually have one carving knife and a dagger with me. A wooden holy symbol of Ilmater hangs around my neck at all times.

Equipment Details:
Items marked with an astrix were all previously property of Voe'Zien's military, therefore have small markings that identify them as such. These markings are something along the lines of | -#- |, where the # is a green stitched hawk and the lines are cross-stitched in black. The design is commonly known in north western Chessenta as the emblem of Voe's military.
Background:
So, you want to hear my story?
Sean Reaver is the name, freelance reconnaissance and infiltration is what I do. I'm originally from a place called Voe'Zien, a small town in the north west of Chessenta. Part of the 2nd musket surveying patrol, ranked sergeant I was. Not a bad life I had, my own place next door to the blacksmith, my own hard earned money, and my lovers.
Well why am I here you ask? I'll tell you why, it's 'cause a filthy general couldn't take the blame for his own F'en mistake. Instead he used a person like me, someone who goes about his business, keeping the province borders safe and with no complaints about the little wage earned! To use as a scapegoat, that bastard. All about honor and respect they said at the start, then sh*t like this happens and it's overlooked with the help of a few coins. So you know what I did before they could catch me and throw me in the lockup? I shot him, didn't kill him, nah I'm better than that, I just made sure he couldn't 'have fun' anymore, if you get my meaning.
Well five years of my life went by in that small dank prison cell. Two for the accidental shooting of five civilians blamed on me, and three for shooting the generals' privates, would have been more if the clerics weren't nearby. Once I had served my time I was told that if I ever set foot in Voe I'd be slaughtered. So taking what was rightfully mine I headed off over the hills and across the rivers. Now I do the odd job for people with enough to pay my fees, or else I just pick up the sellable goods off the carcasses I down.
Personality:
Sean had a steady upbringing compared to most adventures, having two very good parents and living in a well protected town. With experience he learnt to think morally and with compassion. His joining the military helped mold him into a person who could take a beating and still stay up, a person who would not complain about marching through a desert or traversing a snake infested river. Though due to being wrongly sentenced, Sean sometimes questions the validity of certain laws and law keepers.
Description:
Sean is tall man of medium build with a slightly tanned complexion. His face is a mark of experience, with a large scar down the right side of his lower jaw. He wears a black long sleeved shirt over his chain armor and padding, thick brown pants and a small black brimless cap over the top of his short brown hair. Given the situation he also wears his gray clock, pack and weapons. Pistol on his right side torso, sword left side torso, war hammer secured tightly to his pack's left side, and musket slung over his back.
Skills and Feats: Balance 12` (13), Bluff 10, Climb 6, Disable Device 8, Escape Artist 9 (10), Forgery 6, Hide 13 (14), Intimidate 7`, Jump 9` (19), Listen 12`, Move Silently 13 (24), Open Lock 11 (12), Pick Pocket 11` (12), Read Lips 6, Spot 12`, Tumble 15` (16), Wilderness Lore 7; Alertness, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Firearms), Point Blank Shot, Run, Quick Draw.

Background
Melvos stands a lean 5'7" tall, 169 pounds, and is a specimen of human fitness. He works out daily, with many exercises to strengthen body and weapon prowess.
His prime concern is to be as much of a help to those around him as he can.
He is driven to make other people's lives as comfortable as possible.
From an early age, he was instilled by his mother an intense edict to "play nice" and be liked by all those around him.
"Don't you WANT those people to like you, Melvos? How are you going to get anywhere in life if people don't like you?"
He has grown up to be an over-grown Boy Scout, helping anyone, even if they have proven to take advantage of him in the past.
He will constantly see the good in a person if they but even give lip service to being his friend.
His low Intelligence and Wisdom (especially for a Cleric/Paladin) contributes to this almost-pathological condition of having to be liked by everyone he meets.
He constantly agonizes over his decisions, and whether he is doing enough for the people in his life.
He guzzles the medeival equivalent of Maalox like it's water.
In his relationships with women (he's quite popular with the ladies due to his inability to say no to them and his good looks and charm), they walk all over him and he tends to attract those that would take advantage of his excessive compassion.
Yes, you could say Melvos is pu$$y-whipped.
A genuinely "Nice Guy", his manner and voice are very gentle (when not in combat). He naturally knows how to cook, since that fits right in line with how he can be better liked by people, and making things more comfortable for them. He also feels very comfortable with animals, and they are naturally affected by Melvos' inner strength. Animals don't look to take advantage of Melvos' kindness, and most of the time they don't walk all over him.
He will fight to defend others, and protect innocent people against evil.
Not because evil is bad, necessarily, but because evil people tend to be inconsiderate and rude, and make life uncomfortable for good people.
If an evil person truly expresses a desire to change, he will ALWAYS be a sucker for it.
Along those lines, he wields Shields in battle, not quite as deadly or offensive-natured as a sword. With a shield attack, he can batter opponents around with his special shield bash ability, hopefully knocking sense into his opponents (while simultaneously knocking them into his friends, hopefully gaining AoO's in the process). As he has grown in power, Melvos has mastered the Shield style and is now quite feared (by those who have seen him in battle : he still thinks he's not good enough) for his damage-dealing capabilities. He respects the power and nobility of the lion, and tries to emulate them in his fighting style.
While easily duped in social situations, Melvos is a holy terror in combat, and if forced will kill if the opponent truly is beyond recovery. His humble, almost meek demeanor, is betrayed by his fierce Rages and Roars in battle which have been known to send entire opposing squads running in fear.
*based off of Melvin in The Big Hit (played by Mark Wahlberg)...
The last shows the Lion's Shield, but take away the Full Plate, replace with Rhino Hide, and add a Command Shield instead of the lance. (pic by Jeremy's wife)

Background
Melvos stands a lean 5'7" tall, 169 pounds, and is a specimen of human fitness. He works out daily, with many exercises to strengthen body and weapon prowess.
His prime concern is to be as much of a help to those around him as he can.
He is driven to make other people's lives as comfortable as possible.
From an early age, he was instilled by his mother an intense edict to "play nice" and be liked by all those around him.
"Don't you WANT those people to like you, Melvos? How are you going to get anywhere in life if people don't like you?"
He has grown up to be an over-grown Boy Scout, helping anyone, even if they have proven to take advantage of him in the past.
He will constantly see the good in a person if they but even give lip service to being his friend.
His low Intelligence and Wisdom (especially for a Cleric/Paladin) contributes to this almost-pathological condition of having to be liked by everyone he meets.
He constantly agonizes over his decisions, and whether he is doing enough for the people in his life.
He guzzles the medeival equivalent of Maalox like it's water.
In his relationships with women (he's quite popular with the ladies due to his inability to say no to them and his good looks and charm), they walk all over him and he tends to attract those that would take advantage of his excessive compassion.
Yes, you could say Melvos is pu$$y-whipped.
A genuinely "Nice Guy", his manner and voice are very gentle (when not in combat). He naturally knows how to cook, since that fits right in line with how he can be better liked by people, and making things more comfortable for them. He also feels very comfortable with animals, and they are naturally affected by Melvos' inner strength. Animals don't look to take advantage of Melvos' kindness, and most of the time they don't walk all over him.
He will fight to defend others, and protect innocent people against evil.
Not because evil is bad, necessarily, but because evil people tend to be inconsiderate and rude, and make life uncomfortable for good people.
If an evil person truly expresses a desire to change, he will ALWAYS be a sucker for it.
Along those lines, he wields Shields in battle, not quite as deadly or offensive-natured as a sword. With a shield attack, he can batter opponents around with his special shield bash ability, hopefully knocking sense into his opponents (while simultaneously knocking them into his friends, hopefully gaining AoO's in the process). As he has grown in power, Melvos has mastered the Shield style and is now quite feared (by those who have seen him in battle : he still thinks he's not good enough) for his damage-dealing capabilities. He respects the power and nobility of the lion, and tries to emulate them in his fighting style.
While easily duped in social situations, Melvos is a holy terror in combat, and if forced will kill if the opponent truly is beyond recovery. His humble, almost meek demeanor, is betrayed by his fierce Rages and Roars in battle which have been known to send entire opposing squads running in fear.
*based off of Melvin in The Big Hit (played by Mark Wahlberg)...
The last shows the Lion's Shield, but take away the Full Plate, replace with Rhino Hide, and add a Command Shield instead of the lance. (pic by Jeremy's wife)

Description: Dressed in a musty-smelling robe of stars that has seen better days, Ichtor has a dreamy look on his face. His long black hair is tinged with odd multicolored strands and he seems heavy with worry.
History:
Ichtor had always been sensitive. During his childhood, he saw strange begins move around in the corners of his room and sitting in the trees, and the other children thought him weird. He learnt magic early, developing skills in prestidigation and delighted his peers with parlor tricks.
As he developed as a conjurer, he saw creatures that no one had dreamed of, and his own dreams were clouded with strange images, creatures that no bestiary had ever noted.
As his powers developed, he found he could step into their world though the time and place was never his choosing. He was attacked by one such creature, resembling a lion crossed with a dog, and was almost killed. The attack convinced him of their existence and took to learning the arcane secrets of these beings even as other wizards from his school fled his company and shook their heads. Eventually he was dismissed after one of the beasts he summoned went amok; killling two guards. He left the school after that and wandered the land, the visions of the creatures he adored becoming stronger.
Now he believes in The Great Entropic One, a bizarre seething mass of swirling colours he believes exists in the dreamscape. He sees it as beyond good and evil, and does not know if it is his destiny to serve it, or to destroy it.
Ichtor can be a bit haughty when dealing with humans. He can drift off in other directions and find their company displeasing. However, he respects other adventurers and mingles with them as he knows he cannot accomplish what he must alone.

"Hello. I have come to hear about your situation. I’d like to help.
[if asked about himself] My name is Jonas.. For the last 5 winters I have been traveling the realms. I was asked by my father to find the question for which I have no answer in a situation I cannot understand and then to return to him with the question and the answer in hand. (Jonas will not name his father if asked as he does not want deferential treatment if someone was to know his family name; he prefers to be judged on the merit of his actions alone. He is very polite about this and if pressed he will just say that he was very fortunate in his upbringing and he would now like to earn his own reputation.) He said this will teach me the patience. Today the fates have put your posting in front of me; it seems this is the next leg of my quest for lock and the key for which I am searching. Enough about me…tell me more of your situation and perhaps I can help you."
