Appearance: Of middling height and build, there’s not a lot to set Shandul Endathar apart - until you look into his eyes. When you do, you see that this young man has seen things which most of us only experience in our nightmares. Still, he is quiet without brooding, and pleasant without excessive heartiness, so that’s reassuring. So too is the presence of his eagle companion, a beautiful honey-coloured bird which he calls Golden. Such a noble creature surely would not travel with a villain, or a madman!

Background: Shandul grew up on the edge of the Bloodsworn Vale. He's spent his life exploring it - at first playing on the margins, shooting at the target in the grassy glades, then, later, as a hunter exploring the main tracks into its depths.
He knows that it is a dark place, and a dangerous one. He knows this from first-hand experience. While still a boy, he wandered off the well-travelled tracks. He lost his way and strayed into the territory of a dryad who charmed him and kept him as her slave for nearly a year. Unfortunately, this dryad, unlike most of the breed, was a twisted and malevolent individual. She delighted in finding new ways to abuse and humiliate him ... while simultaneously binding him to herself with stronger and stronger bonds.
Eventually he came to his senses, and after a frantic scramble through a wood somehow made hostile and nigh impassable, he made his way to his home. His family greeted him with delighted disbelief, since they had been sure that he had perished, and that his bones would never be found.
Thereafter he continued to walk the woodland paths - now as a ranger trained in the ways of the fey - but he was careful to avoid certain sections of the Vale.
Unbelievably, however, some five years later, he was following a stag which stayed just out of bowshot, and found himself in the same place. To say that the dryad was delighted was an understatement - she had not had a pleasing plaything since last he was under his spell. To cut a long story short, he once more succumbed to her magics, and this time was lost to his family and community for nigh on three years.
When he returned, wasted and haunted, it was a long time before he could face the shadows of the woods. Eventually, though, he recovered his sense of himself, and recognized that he could either cower in the cottage or face his fears. But if he were to face them, then it must be as one who understood the deeper secrets of nature - so he undertook training as a druid.
He still carries his bow, and he can shoot further and faster than anyone else in the village - and he carries in his quiver a special arrow, one destined for the heart of his nemesis, should he ever meet her again.

[COLOR=DarkOrange][u][b]History[/b][/u][/color]

Aelish Karn is Human Noble who found his life split between his duty to his
kingdom and duty to his family. Aelish found serving his country much 
easier than serving his family. Serving his King and countrymen as a herald 
wandering around the country side recording and determining heraldric 
arms, arbitrating disputes, mapping lands and territories, collecting 
information from the countryside for his liege, as well as delivering news 
and messages from town to town. His duty as a Herald meant that during 
small altercations, wars, or other military type engagements he served as 
a standard bearer and messenger in a military capacity. He greatly enjoys 
the freedom and independence that being a herald brings and relishes the 
travel and challenge of the work.

His duty to his family is a bit more complicated as the second son who is 
unmarried, and is what he is running from today. He is to become the 3rd 
husband in an arranged marriage. He does not disapprove of becoming the 
3rd husband as much as marrying someone that he does not know. His 
family has arranged this marriage to repair the damaged relationship with 
their family and an elven family. Having the choice and freedom to do as 
he wills and to live and love who he wishes is what is important to him.

He currently finds himself in Bloodsworn Vale on an extended duty to his
King while running from his family and those that wish to bring him back to 
fulfill his familial marital duty.

Aelish is not an imposing man by any standard. He is of average height and 
weight with short black hair and a goatee, and cool blue eyes. The only thing 
that would make any man think twice about messing with him might be their 
knowledge that he is a Herald for the King. A man who serves their liege and 
acts in some ways as a civilian constable.

****

The sounds of hooves trotting the way along your collective dusty path 
announces a horse that comes into view from the rear of the caravan bearing 
a male human rider of average stature who is looking at a parchment of sorts 
as he rides.

The man has short, close cropped, black hair and a goatee, with cool blue 
active eyes. The horse is light brown with a white star and a single white
 sock on its rear left leg, and well muscled. The human rides it with the ease 
of someone with great practice and time in the saddle. His posture is straight 
and he carries himself with confidence. The saddle is one meant for action and 
it has a darkwood standard pole standing straight up that is without a 
standard, and it most definitely functions as a long spear. The saddlebags 
seem full and so does the backpack that is strapped to the saddle.

Upon closer inspection you notice that he has several small axes in his belt
 and a longer sword of sorts that is something like a long and thin saber or 
rapier the likes of which you have not really seen before sheathed at his side.
 There is a loaded crossbow sitting nonchalantly in his lap to which is becomes
 kind of obscured by lowering the paper that he was looking at. After taking in
 all of this you notice the rather expensive mithril breastplate that he 
comfortably wears beneath his cloak and over his traveling clothes.

[b]Improved Skirmish (Complete Scoundrel page 78)[/b]

With a few extra steps, you gain even greater benefits from skirmishing 
combat style.

Prereq: Skirmish +3d6/+1 AC (Counting Nzar bonus skirmish)
Benefit: If you move at least 20' from where you were at the start of 
your turn, your skirmish damage increases by 2d6 and your Comp. Bonus 
to AC increases by 2.

Special: A scout can select Imp. Skirmish as one of his Scout Bonus feats.

[b]Swift Hunter (Complete Scoundrel p. 81)[/b]
You have applied the hit and run tactics learned from scouting to your 
strong hunting abilities.Prereq: Favored enemy, skirmish +1d6/+1 AC.
Benefit: Ranger and Scout levels stack for the purpose of determining 
extra damage and AC Bonus granted with skirmishing. For example, a 
Scout 4/Ranger 1 would deal an extra 2d6 points of damage and gain +1 
to AC when skirmishing as if he were a 5th level scout.

Ranger and scout levels also stack for the purpose of determining when 
you select additional favored enemies, as well as the total bonus against 
those enemies. For example, a Scout 4/Ranger 1 would have 2 favored enemies 
and a +2 bonus against those enemies as if he were a 5th level ranger.

In addition, your skirmish extra damage applies against any creature you 
have selected as a favored enemy, even if it is immune to extra damage 
from critical hits or skirmish attacks.

Special: A scout can select Swift Hunter as one of his Scout bonus feats.

YeOldeAlbatross[sblock]You will find my character below. I have planned him all out. There are only three potential probs with him. I am hoping that what I have done will be OK. If not I can work on buildinghim differently.

SKills: You were generous with skills with a different character I was thinking about - the Dwarf, I am hoping that with my character history that thes skills that I have chosen will work.

Multiclassing: At 20th level I have the following classes selected
Scout 7/Ranger6/SwashBuckler 3/Fighter4. With this build there are will be times that I may suffer a multiclassing penalty, being that I am human I am hoping that this will not be an issue. If it is let me know and can rework him. I would take Swashbuckler more but the class is so weak. Ugggh! Having Insightful Strike as a fighter class feature or ability instead of some of their feats (Medium and Heavy Armor and Shields and/or perhaps the 4rth level feat would greatly simplify this and have me take 7 levels of fighter, instead. 

Synergy Bonuses: I added a few eynergy bonuses based off the new Professions I chose: Herald and Cartographer. I added synergy for Know (History) to Herald and Know (Geography) for Cartography. If that is not acceptable just ket me know.

Other than that everything should be in order. I apologize for being a pain. Thank you for your time and for running a game.

You can email me or PM me if you like.[/sblock]

Description: Shoulder-length black hair and black beard. Brown eyes. A scar runs down the right side of his face from above the eye down to the jawline. His arms, chest, back, and legs are criss-crossed with dozens of scars. Sky-blue tattoos of dwarven runes run along each arm and across his chest and between his shoulder blades. Aldur is dressed in a gray poncho-like tunic, a dwarven kilt secured by a broad leather belt, black leather military boots, and bracers made of a dark metal adorn each wrist. Two bandolier-like belts criss-cross his chest securing a battleaxe across his back and a warhammer at his right hip. A weapons belt around his waist holds his throwing axe and daggers.

Background:
Priests, bards, wise-women, farmers – they all agree. Loss changes a person. It certainly did in Aldur Rulklim’s case. His clan members and countrymen all agree on that point. They speculate (out of Adur’s earshot) as to the cause, though. Was it being part of the army that was defeated by the orc horde? Was it the loss of his brother, who died in his arms? Was it the sight of the captured shieldmaidens being ravaged by the orcs? Or was it the days of torture at the hands of the orcs? None can say for sure, not even his kin, for when Aldur returned to home after escaping the orcs, it was a different warrior than the promising soldier that left on the campaign trail.

Aldur, once level-headed (for a dwarf at least), was now reckless. He was always ready for a fight and if one didn’t find him, he sought it out. Gone was the resolve of the warrior, it had been replaced with the primal rage of an animal. Disciplined for insubordination and fighting, he was passed over for promotion. No one could question his courage or fervor in battle, however.

Once the orcs were defeated, Adur mustered out. Aldur was unable to enjoy times of peace, however. A restlessness burns within him. There are battles to be fought and vengeances to be had. Aldur has gone in search of adventure, not as the soldier, but as the battle-rager he has become.

Background:
For an elf his age, Besik had accomplished quite a lot. As a child he exhibited the raw power and potential that the elders crave in youth. Without much hesitation Besik was apprenticed to Gararathi Illar, one of the more powerful wizards in the forest, and soon he was outstripping peers 50, sometimes 100 years older than he. In short time Besik was Master Illar’s favorite student and would be the old wizard’s right hand, studying at his side for long hours of the day.

Days, weeks, months, years passed where the two mutually benefited from this arrangement, working together on magical theories, all the while Besik mastering arcane techniques. And while Besik understood the advantages of apprenticeship to one of the great wizards, he did not relish the inferiority it implied. To their community the pair seemed ideal and happy, but behind closed door they often disagreed on many issues. Gararathi Illar was content to try and improved long standing methods, whereas Besik strove to develop new ideas, unlock new magic that could improve elves’ standing in the world, enhance magic and power.

Master Illar forbade Besik from such practices, but instead of ceasing, Besik’s desire only manifested in privacy. For many years he stole whatever opportunity presented itself to his theories, and it was during one of these times when Besik unlocked the key to the mind; not only his, but other’s as well. At first all he heard was chatter, but after some time he harnessed the ability to shut out all minds and focus on a specific person. However, it was quite on accident when he imposed his thoughts onto another.

It was nearly sundown when Master Illar and his apprentice were working together when a complaint forming in Besik’s head materialized into Gararathi Illar’s mind. Confused, Gararathi asked Besik to repeat himself, who in turn was confused for he had not spoken. Eventually the truth was out, Besik admitted to his master what he had done and hoped that this power would unlock countless mysteries. Despite Gararathi Illar’s reassuring words, his mind betrayed his fear at his apprentice.

Their relationship dissolved and the rumor of Besik’s tainted magic spread throughout the community. Slanted eyes greeted him. Hollow hello’s stung greater when paired with unspoken slights. The life Besik knew was gone from this place, the judgment from the elves he grew up around became too much to bear.
