Here's my character sheet and background info so far. I'm going to leave the background somewhat vague for the moment just so it's easier to fit backgrounds together with the other clueless berks.
Appearance:
Sindr Mogh looks -- as he puts it --
"like somethin' that crawled outta th' swamp". He's short and stocky, with bronzed skin, red eyes, and a two foot long alligator-like tail at the base of his spine. He wears elaborate blue-grey robes covered in eldritch sigils and
arcane marks in geometric designs. His long blue-black hair is cascades loose over his shoulders and down his back.
Personality:
Sindr (
"Jus' call me 'Cinder', it's close 'nough.") is unusually cheerful for a tiefling; few things seem to upset or discourage him, and his good intentions bleed through into his demeanor. On the other hand, he has a short attention span and a mischevious streak; much to his teacher's dissatisfaction, Sindr prefers flashy, showy spells and never put in enough time to learn the slower, more delicate arcana required to master spells from the Enchantment and Necromancy schools. He prefers Evocations above all else, although he has plenty of Illusions and Conjurations in his bag of tricks, and after a few
acid splash misfires, he developed a healthy respect for Abjurations as well. Sindr would have neglected learning Divinations as well, but his master declared that, should Sindr not at least master the basics of the school, he would be discharged from his apprenticeship.
Sindr typical speaks in a rough country accent, but careful listeners note that, when he casts spells, his pronunciation is absolutely perfect. In fact, the accent is mostly an affectation. Sindr uses it as a way of breaking the ice with people; it's usually harder to hate someone for having the appearance of a demon when they speak like a country bumpkin.
Background: (stub)
There is no known fiendish blood in Sindr's ancestry; either the inheritance is from an age now forgotten, or it has something to do with the terrible magical storm that wracked the countryside the night he was born. Despite his blood-red eyes and the stub of a tail at the base of his spine, Sindr's parents chose to keep him and raise him as their own rather than abandon or kill him. Their love was a constant influence on his life, and when he showed signs of magical aptitude, his parents scraped together all of their available cash and apprenticed him to one of the land's most renowned archmagi (alternately, they enrolled him in a school for mages).
