Character Information

Background

Arkavas doesn't exactly know where he's from. For as far back as he can remember, Rykhavas' small apartment was his only home until he left for school at Wynarn. One look at him, and you can tell that the old mage was not a natural relation. Purple skin and white, pupilless eyes, tend to be a pretty unique feature in Fairhaven.

Being an adopted orphan, and having only a relationship of forced gratitude to his 'father', he didn't command much respect from his peers. Schoolmates and neighbors' children would continually harass him.

Needless to say, he turned to his studies in an attempt to make up for his lack of social prowess. The Last War was raging around him, but he barely noticed. Though his body remained of average build, his mind grew in capacity and capability. He learned many old and forgotten arts that, to this day, he feels the need to keep guarded.

Appearance

Purple skin
White pupilless eyes
Bald

Age: 27
Gender: Male
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 165 lbs.

Personality

Alignment: Unaligned

Arkavas tends to border on nerdy arrogance. He's so used to knowing more than the average person, that he often forgets that other learned people exist.

In any given conversation, he's given to snide marks and rants about his own academic achievements.

He's also slightly ADD. Not enough to be diagnosed, but enough that he will, every now and then, find himself lost in a reverie over some hypothetical thing of little consequence, analyzing it to some fantastical, unlikely conclusion, only to come out of it having wasted a great deal of time.

Did I mention he's also given to rambling on...and on...and on.

Hooks

• Arkavas would often visit the pubs and taverns in Fairhaven, but Fairhaven is too calm a city, and he is too well known there. Sharn is far enough away to give him the relative anonymity he desires. Plus, people only go to Fairhaven to learn. They come seeking knowledge, not adventure.

• Arkhavas often wonders where he really came from. Rykhavas never told him, in fact he's pretty sure that Rykhavas gave him his name (Their names are somewhat similar). He's not sure, however, if finding his real family would be a good thing or a bad thing.

Kicker

Achieving academic success in the university, he turned from study to resarch. Day and night, he was consumed with alchemy, arcana, and the art of the forge. He studied dwarven and goblin metalwork practices alike, as well as elven methods of enhancement. Through his studies, he concocted an alchemical solution that seemed sensitive to the temperment of nearby creatures. Eventually, he discovered that the sensitivity was to the presence of aggression. Anger would cause the substance to pulsate. Wrath would make it hot.

He would have gone the rest of his life thinking this substance no more than a curiosity if it had not been for one day when he chanced to witness a scuffle between two students. As he approached, he became so wrapped up in the spectacle that he forgot about the substance which he was carrying in a small vial. The closer he got, the hotter the substance became.

Then it happned. Peering over the shoulder of another onlooker, Arkavas witnessed one of the boys strike the other one on the cheek. At that instant, the substance exploded from within Arkavas' hand, causing an injury that took several months to heal.

It was a moment of amazing discovery and terrible fear. Afraid that his discovery would be conscripted for use in the war, Arkavas rushed back to his lab and continued his experiments under more hightened security. He made a point to memorize the alchemical formula, and then he destroyed his notes. He code-named the substance "Vengence"

As a test, he set out to imbue an ordinary weapon with 'Vengence' to see what effect it would have, but he lacked a proving ground, as well as the skill. To do it, he would need a channeling implement. This he found in the form of a Staff of Ruin locked away in the university vault. Growing up a neglected orphan had its advantages when it comes to learning practical skills. The lock was not easy to pick, but a combination of patience, luck, and skill hoaned over a childhood of idle time coincided at this critical time.

In no time, he not only had the staff, but he had his prototype. Now all he needed to do was test it. Road Trip!

Level 4

Approval 1

Approval from renau1g for level 4 with 3,750 xp

Approval 2

Approval from TwoHeadsBarking

• Summary: Force Infusion is missing the +Con damage with the ranged attack option.
• Attributes: These scores don't match the ones in your summary. I assume the ones in the summary are correct, since they're better.
• Attacks: There's a way you can get the Attacks table to recognize Melee Training. Check it out here.
• Summary/Equipment/Money: Detect Secret Doors costs 125 gp, so you should have 2 gp left. I fixed this.
• Overall: You could remove the "See the [template] for assistance" notes, as they clutter up the page and don't serve much purpose anymore.

Small stuff, so approved.

Level 5

Approval 1

More of a preference thing, but move the prof bonuses to the equipment column instead of the feat column. I believe this is how we've been doing that in CS.

Approval from EvolutionKB

• Math section - Defenses - missing the amulet of protection frmo table
