[QUOTE="Bari, post: 3767943, member: 39791"] This is a short summary of Bari's story: It was in the isolated world of Lorenor where Jaún Silverleaf was born, as a result of his mother's rape by her own uncle. He was sent to his distant uncle Garrick and his husband Fabio, due to his father's murder in a brawl and her mother's suicide after childbirth. Garrick and Fabio were straightforward enough to tell him the truth of his parentage when he was ten, even if he already knew he wasn't the natural son of the two men. This left Jaún pondering, if he was really to come to the world, or if he was just a mistake of nature. However, his doubts didn't hold him back, and he did every thing he could to prove himself and the others that he was not alive by accident, and that he was a Silverleaf in mind aside from blood. However, Bari had inherited his mother's kindness and compassion, and his moral and ethical beliefs prevented him from becoming a valuable asset to the Family, should it be as an assassin, spy, or thug. However, while he was not good enough for his Family, he was good enough for another organization, much bigger. The Sect, as it was called, the conspirating power behind almost all planned evil on Lorenor. The Silverleaves were part of the Cult of the Spider, one of the Sect's branches, that worked as a research team to improve the Sect's minions, altering their bodies by alchemy and sometimes magic. Jaún, who was renamed "Bari" (which means "failure" in Lorenian hobbitish) was sent by one of his relatives to "look for a job", and was kidnapped when he arrived, to be inmediately put into stasis and "improved" as a test subject. He was modified to imitate cats, to try and reproduce their swiftness, stealth, and accuracy. However, a brutal mistake in the process started a chain reaction that would slowly shrink his heart until it was about the size of a cat's: After a determinate number of years, Bari would die of cardiacal insufficiency, which (coupled with the fact that the "improvements" were to manifest after another number of years) rendered Bari useless and hence a failed project. Bari faced an eternal sleep in his stasis, for he was never to be released from it. What the Cult didn't know was that the altering proccess had also altered the halfling's brain, giving him a remarkable (while not extremely powerful) psionic potential. There were other powers on Lorenor aside the Sect. One of the good powers, an ancient race whose's only known name was the "Walkers of the Void" was specifically against it. These voidwalkers were attracted to the Cult's lair by the weak yet noticeable psionic emanations that came from Bari's mind. They attacked the Cultists and freed most of the experiments, while they took Bari into custody for examination. While they were unable to unlock the hairfoot's full potential, they managed to free enough power so he could try and battle the Cult's mind control on him, and then, convinced he'd "have to free himself on his own" released him on another world, Oerth. The Cult had already sent some of his agents to that world and others, on an attempt to expand itself, through they were repelled time and time again - and because of those moments Bari was under the Cult's influence, Bari gained a bad reputation between the few that met the group. The halfling soon didn't have nowhere to go: He was chased by the Cult and hated by the people at his homeland, and he had pretty dangerous enemies on the new land. It was a miracle that the halfling managed to survive. Aided by the Voidwalkers and by the one he considered the love of his life, Bari was able to finally free himself, and now looks forward to fulfilling his duties as a Voidknower and unlocking his psionic potential. And ah... that's about it. [/QUOTE]
