[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7949154, member: 6855204"] I’m working on the character, but it’s on my computer at home, so I’ll post it when it’s done. For now, though, I know that Andar is an Earth Genasi Eldritch Knight, and is a member of a self governing magical organization similar to the Knights Templar in the Middle Ages. The Knights Templar were a military force that had been granted autonomy and the freedom to operate in whatever country they wanted to, and they became, in essence, the first multinational corporation, functioning as a bank and a military organization. In this case, it’s a conglomerate of magic users who monitor and regulate the use of magic among the lands they are in. There are many parts to the organization, with some members focusing on magical knowledge, others focusing on magical defense or utilitarian magic or even providing supplies and support to governments, or providing mediating services. Andar is, literally, an Eldritch Knight, part of the military arm of the organization. He studies combat and war, and integrates his magic within his combat. He is young, and has only recently gained his Knighthood. As a Knight, he is allowed to police as he sees fit, being tasked with traveling the lands and providing help and services where he can, especially when it comes to dealing justice to magic users who abuse their power. An Earth Genasi, Andar was, like most Eldritch Knights, identified as a potential recruit at a very young age. It was an easy pick, as Genasi are prized as members of the organization for their natural affinity to magic. Andar was born to a poor family. As his elemental nature became apparent as he grew, his father accused his mother of witchcraft and consorting with demons (more accurately would be genies, but who’s counting?). Whether it’s true or not is moot. Instead of killing the boy, his mother convinced his father to sell him instead. A passing member of the Mage Organization took interest, and the boy was sold and taken from his family. He was raised from then on in the care of the Mages. He showed promise, and eventually became the Squire to an older Knight who was known as an amazing investigator. He could fetter out information like few others. He taught Andar his investigative techniques, and instilled a strong loathing for those who would use Magic to hurt other people. He trained him on how to fight mages. They were hunting a Serial Killer who targeted young women, using Necromancy to enslave them. They managed to find the Serial Killer’s lair, and were ambushed by dozens of corpses, led by a young Necromancer. Despite his prowess in battle, Andar’s mentor was killed. Andar picked up the old Knights Greatsword and attacked, managing to slip by the corpses to attack the Necromancer, severing his head from his shoulders. The corpses fell to the ground that instant. Upon returning to his Organization to report, he was granted the title of Eldritch Knight, and given his mentor’s old armor and weapon. To his surprise, the Helmet was magical, granting the ability to read the thoughts of those around him. No doubt this is where his mentor got his investigative prowess. Every now and then a thought nags at the back of Andar’s mind. The Necromancer they killed had been young, and there hadn’t been much blood when he had cut off his head. He wondered if he had indeed found the Serial killer, or if he’d just found a decoy or apprentice of some kind. [/QUOTE]
