Yes, some of us can dial into the internet with our telepathic ability. Unfortunately the weather at the time was giving me a headache making such a connection spotty at best.

i've also gone ahead and added a brief description of mulch's relationship with each of you. as d20dazza said, please let me know if i overstepped my bounds or interpreted something wrong in your descriptions.
i've borrowed a copy of eberron until i can get one of my own, and you'll see that reflected in my description.
here are some notes, questions, ideas:
captain tag, i made up a scenario of how we met. i hope that it works for you. let me know if it doesn't.
Erekose13, i get the impression that most everyone's elses characters are quite young, and don't have much experience in the world. if you have been in the war, and fought several campaigns, you are probably several years older than the others. it's likely that you might have been someone the younger kids looked up to, and even moreso now that you've come back and have more experience in the world than the others. you will also note that i created a small conflict between us. let me know if it fits your character. if not, i can change according to your wishes.
someone, i haven't seen a background for you. if/when you post it, i can flesh out my relationship with you. as it stands, let me know if what i've written jives with what you have in mind.
to everyone, i intend to play mulch as someone who firmly believes in doing right. of course, circumstances can make a person question what the definition of right is, but he will be trying to guide the younger folks in that direction. anyone that is dead set on being cruel and selfish will have mulch getting in their face about it. i have no problem with some in character conflict, so i don't want anyone to be offended. i certainly don't want people to think i'm trying to tell you how to run your character. i'm just trying to avoid any misunderstandings.
cheers,
lotuseater.

Lotus, sounds good to me. Kerwin left for the war at an extremely young age, something like 14 (my greatgrandpa did that in ww1). He was in the campaigns for about 2 years. He returned a year or so after the war so is now about 18. The conflict thing is great, adds a bit of tension without being aggressive in anyway I like it.

The man with the probe
Ok, fleshed out the background some more:
Someone, you might want to stick Rial's background in the RG thread. (Idealy, the RG thread is so not only us, but anyone else can go and read about the game's backstory and character mechanics. It also means there's only one thread needed to find all your information.) I included you in my background, and hopefully you can put a few blurbs about others in yours to intertwine us all togeather. Right now, you seem to be the oddball out, as you're not mentioned in most of the backgrounds.
I think this is all looking good so far. Should be a lot of fun to play, especialy with characters that feel they know each other already.
---Revised 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 Fixit, as he was called, was more than a simple magical construct, and they developed a deep friendship. He would often stay up late, talking to Fixit about magic and theories, forgetting his friend didn’t sleep.
Zan was always close to his brother Pak. Together, they enjoyed many adventures in town. Pak was always more into fooling around with his changeling abilities than Zan was though, and as a result, Pak tended to get into more trouble. Zan tried to look out for his little brother, but figured he’d learn better if he faced his own consequences. Zan didn’t approve of Meldain, one of Pak’s closes friends, but mostly because the two of them got into more trouble together than either would alone. Meldain was a nice kid, but enjoyed the occasional prank way too much.
Zan always enjoyed the company of Mulch. Mulch had a different take on magic that Zan found curious, and they would debate endlessly. Mulch enjoyed forays into odd topics and enjoyed exploring knowledge as much as Zan did. However, Zan was one of the few people Mulch was ever serious with, and while Mulch could make him laugh, there were times when the dwarf wore himself thin with the others.
Rial was always getting into trouble, but more trouble on his own than trouble with the adults. Zan had spent many a time talking to him about magical theory, but Rial always seemed a bit more focus on the results than how to get there. Zan never knew what to make of Rial, as he always made Zan feel a bit uneasy, but Rial was always fascinated by what Zan could do with his tidbits of magic, and he enjoyed showing off and experimenting in front of him.
Kerwin was always a bit shy and insecure. Zan knew why and had always felt sorry for Kerwin, knowing the situation in his family. He was glad Kerwin had managed to enlist and get out of the house.
Kellion, or Kell as he liked to be called, was the odd ball who never seemed to realize it. He liked to hang around Zan and Pak, but never quite seemed to fit into the conversation. He tried of course, but he just wasn’t quite as bright as Zan or Pak. However, he was a valued companion, and he brought some much needed muscle when Zan or Pak needed him. Zan always valued Kell’s unquestioning loyalty, and tried to help him fit in even when he couldn’t follow the conversation.
Zan had apprenticed himself to Allustan after several detailed discussions about magic. Allustan knew quite a bit, and encouraged Zan's analysis on the theorys of magic. His magic grew in power under Allustan's tutulidge, but Zan wanted more. About the time the war ended, he went off to study at Morgrave University at Allustan's recomendation. 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.
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. Leaving his friends was hard, especially his brother.
On his occasional visits back from the university, he saw Kerwin again, and met his friend Sniffer. Kerwin had changed, and grown more confident. With his family gone, he had been working with Sniffer on some of the farms. Unfortunately, it looked like Kerwin had been changed enough by the war where he didn’t fit in, and Zan would hear stories of problems from his family through letters they sent.
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.
