[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5198007, member: 4936"] [I]a) Awakened as if from a bad dream and he(it is a he right?) and he can't remember it. There is a nagging feeling he must do something (create something, build something, stop something) he's not sure what but feels it none the less. So to help in doing this he wil seek out the others.[/I] -- I was thinking it'd be fun to do the 'First Scene of Lost' shot, where his eyes suddenly open and dilate, and he looks around to find himself...somewhere. My concept of the Scholar is that he's male, yes. [I]b) Knows of something from a pervious life that is world threatening, knows where it is and what it will do but not how to stop it. Others band with him (well because saving the world is kool) for if he were to fail the world ends.[/I] -- It's possible, if a bit heavyhanded for a 1st level character. Heroic tier characters won't generally be saving the world...not directly at least. But then again, ya never know. [I]c) Devas are dying out and that is only part of it, if this "death cycle" continues all races will be extinct.[/I] -- Technically speaking Devas -are- dying out. Really slowly. A few ascend, and leave the cycle. Others fall from grace and become rakshasa. Either way, they're not devas anymore...and since no one's making new devas, the race slowly dwindles. Then again, if there was something else causing that...say some force that interfered with Deva souls as they lingered in the spirit world between incarnations...that'd be a whole other situation. [I]d) Wants to find/build a Library of Alexandria where all the worlds knowledge would be kept.
