Appearance:
Zan is small and fairly frail looking. His grey skin and white eyes and hair are unusual for a changeling only in that he chooses to not hide his true nature. He wears fairly loose fitting traveling clothes, with a long black cloak that flows around him.

Background:
Zan has always been proud of his changeling heritage, and usually openly walks around in his natural form. He feels that his changeling heritage shows that limits are what you perceive, and must be tested in every way. Growing up in Diamond Lake, close to Sharn, gave him many opportunities to test his limits.

Zan has naturally been attracted to magic, and found many interesting new limits to test with it. He spent time watching the local magewright work. He toyed with magic and spent time studying it and its strange effects. Later, when the magewright took an apprentice warforged, he studied the warforged, often talking or spending time with him. He learned quickly that the warforged was more than a simple magical construct, and they developed a deep friendship. He would often stay up late, talking to the warforged about magic and theories, forgetting his friend didn’t sleep.

-more about friends pending-

Zan had a tight group of friends in Diamond Lake, and before he left, he promised that he would return when he was done studying, and perhaps they could go out and explore the world together.

A little over a year ago, he went off to study Morgrave University. He learned diversity in specializing, and enjoyed testing his magical limits. He worked with stretching his magic, and using it ways well beyond those thought conventional. He brought his changeling approach to magic, and was rewarded with a unique perspective on magic and its workings.

However, studying has its limits, so Zan sought to move beyond those, and get out into the field. He sought to go on expeditions for the University, and examine several of the stranger places on Khorvaire. But, he was still a young student, and was never allowed to join in any of the expeditions. Tired and feeling limited by the University’s rules, Zan journeyed back to Diamond Lake, to meet back up with his friends.

OK I’m going to call the Warforged Fixit. A hulking brute that has engraved himself with various formulas and recipes some of which he has shaded with different coloured inks and paints. He sports a heavy leather tool pouch on his front and carries a large hammer. Unusually for a Warforged he also wears big leather boots that are covered in small press studded pockets (He's hoping to make some Fixit's Handy Boots in the future). Most believe he sports the boots for extra storage but in reality he has a phobia about getting his feet wet. He thinks that being in constant contact with the moisture of the earth will make him rust from the ground up, the added storage is just a bonus. He also has problems with his eyes from doing a lot of small detail work and has crafted himself a set of goggles to make his life a little easier, these goggles are held in place with a small, tight leather belt (think aviation goggles). He wears a leather skullcap. Several childish charms, which have been given to him by children he has gifted with his creations, hang on leather throngs around his neck. Over his shoulder he wears a leather satchel with several compartments in it.

Fixit is very imposing (although children never seem bothered by his appearance) but generally has the heart of puppy, especially where children are involved. He can get riled up though, and suffers serious embarrassment after he has calmed down. He loves mystery and reading and has a current subscription to the Sharn Inquisitive. He also loves creating toys to give to children. In fact, one of the pouches of his satchel is full of small toys and trinkets that he gives to children.

Fixit never made it to the war. In fact he never made it out of Sharn during the war. A minor Cannith noble, heavily in debt to The Boromar Clan, was forced to divert some of the Warforged being produced in the Cannith foundry to pay for his indiscretions. Fixit found himself being passed from owner to owner until he wound up in Diamond Lake working for Teren the Magewright.

Teren put Fixit to work as a labourer. Slowly, as he has interacted with the Warforged he grew impressed by his quiet determination and ceaseless striving to be the best at what he chooses to do. Teren began to reverse his opinion that Warforged were just items to be used, machines to make life easier. Fixit had shown some aptitude and a thirst for knowledge and Teren has slowly come to appreciate that he is a sentient being and does not deserve enslavement. It wasn't long before Teren couldn't teach Fixit anymore. Teren has sponsored Fixit as an apprentice Artificer.

Zan (Bront's PC) first met Fixit when he was 'indentured' to Teren. Zan was an inquisitive child and provided Fixit with a ready companion to discuss the theories behind magic. While Zan took an interest in magic in its purest form Fixit wanted to know more about the mechanics behind magic. Even though Zan probably doesn't realise it he was very helpful in influencing Fixit's career choice.

Well that's the idea. I'll try and get the stats done in the next day or so. As others post their backgrounds I'll make edits in this one to tie them all in.

Cheers

Daz

so i've been tweaking my dwarven cleric i mentioned earlier, and i just had a thought. i think he can really fit in with the group we've got started, but if the idea is to have a really young bunch, will dwarves and elves belong. if they are young and immature at first, given a couple years, while the humans(and similar aging races) will have become adults, they will still be immature.

do you guys think this is something we should worry about?

The man with the probe
Adventuring tends to mature anyone. However, the elves and dwarves would likely start off a bit more mature I would think.

Approach it however you want would be my suggestion. Make your character interesting and fun to play.

SNIFFER was created to assist in the finding of stragglers. He was considered to be the one who has outstanding tracking skills and can thereby ensure that after a battle, all enemies are rounded up and captured. If the battle went against them, he might be able to find the stragglers and rescue them before further ill came to them..

He has been conditioned in his training to become an archer.

I think it would be intersesting if the party had a gruff dwarf "parental figure". Not to look up to or anything, just for the crotchety dwarf moments.

Appearance:
Pak appears as a normal changeling, grey skin with white hair and eyes. However, he is usually found impersonating other races.

Background:
Pak, a sibling of Zan’s, is the typical “becomer” changeling. He constantly tries to test his limits (and others’ nerves). He is stubborn to a fault, firmly believing he can do what he sets out to do. He often grows bored when in one place for too long. He’s dying to get out of Diamond Lake with Zan and Fixit.

When he was young, he hated being different. He hated looking in mirrors and seeing himself. The family of Kalashtar in Diamond Lake were Psions. Pak had been interested in what people call psionics. He was attracted to the idea of things altering the body with thought. Though he did not have the money(but more precisely the courage) to delve into something so unknown to him. One day he realized how he could alter himself naturally. Why didn’t he think of this before? His brother Zan, and their parents were proud of their heritage, and walked about in natural form. He started out small. Though playing the I’m You Game with another changeling in his natural form did not yield much results. Time marched on, and Pak became quite good at this mimicry. Eventually he gained the ability to change faster.
He is proud of his brother, going to Morgrave University but at the same time he is jealous. He’s always felt like “Zan’s little brother” rather than Pak. Though he is as intelligent as Zan, he presents it in a more subtle way. Where Zan is rather straightforward, and inquisitive Pak is cunning and resourceful. They are not complete opposites, but are not far off. His favorite name for Zan in times of sarcastic wit(which is often) is “Professor” or “College Boy”. He can be quite hurtful and brash here and there.

Pak has a myriad of personalities he uses. A half-elf, a human, a dwarf, a half-orc, and a shifter. He’s been working on trying to mimic Fixit, but something just isn’t right about it. His skin can’t mimic the metal/ironwood that makes up Fixit’s body.

So, you're at 4 characters. I propably should hurry up a bit. I also worked on a rogue, with a somewhat different focus. Maybe he and Pak teamed up for some minor mischief?
