Demon with a Glass Hand 2.0 [OOC]

[Creamsteak]

I'd probably be leaning toward human, someone with a hot temper sometimes barely held in check. He's good, but he almost seems to be on the verge of losing it at times. He had a rough childhood, regularly beat by his father; his mother was a whore. Trouble was his constant companion as he found himself in street gangs, getting involved in petty theft, etc. He got a girl pregnant when he was fifteen, but she was whisked away by her family. He is desperate to find them again. His anger is as much a rage against himself as it is the evil he sees in the world and wants to destroy.

That doesn't really strike me as someone that would complement the current group. As of right now, we have mostly altruistic oriented characters.

So working along with the Thri-Kreen idea (if it's allowed) ...snip... or Dervish using CW

I'm not really particularly comfortable with Thri-Kreen. Dervish I "might" be able to deal with, but that's somewhat of a stretch. It depends on how the player wants to do it though.

In defense of Starman's idea, it might be interesting to have a character who's more on the edge... I've found that some tension within a party can be a great stimulant for RP, as long as it doesn't go overboard.

Just a thought though!

It's a character that's been rather floating in the back of my mind for awhile. I definitely would not want to crash a game, so I can try to keep it toned down enough to not wreck anything while still keeping it interesting.

If it won't work, though, I can come up with something else.

If I toss the Thri-Kreen idea I'll probably lose Dervish (I just read up on your gods and thought so long as I had four arms I might as well act like a god ). So my new thought is something like this: human or elven Psiwar/Elocater (for combat style inspiration think of Warcraft 3 wardens) sworn to the defense of the land around the city and deciding that the city is a necessary part of that.

I'm still tossing classes around for Kadon. He will be a melee type character. I'm torn between Soul Knife and Psychic Warrior but I think he will end up part fighter. I threw the sword in his background so that he could use his fathers blade. So, I am planning on taking all the weapon focus/specialization feats. He may end up more fighter than Psychic Warrior.

 

[Bloodweaver1]

For those that might be interested the current group mix is as follows:

Shayuri is playing Shard. Sorceror 5/Wild Mage 9 (Mega-Spell Caster)
Psion is playing Haros. Ardent 2 / Cloistered Cleric 3 / Psychic Theurge 9 (Psionic/Divine Caster)
Bloodweaver is playing Caladan. Fighter 1 / Soulknife 4 / Illumine Soul 4 / Shadow Sentinal 5 (Melee, focus on mage killing)
Lorthanoth is playing Lysander. A Marshal 3/Paladin 2/Warmind 9 (Melee, some support)

Everyone but Haros, who is an Elan, is Human
Everyone but Lysander, who is LG, is CG.

Right. Current plan is an Elven Psychic Warrior/Elocator who uses thrown for ranged support (and benefits greatly from having melee companions by using Opportunistic Strike) and is crazy-mobile. Personality-wise, he'd be a neutral good rather staid type, putting a lot of weight on heritage and lineage. Here's a basic character sheet (using one feat out of the PHB2 for my non-core thing), I'll put up a background tomorrow.

Well, seeing as there are already 2 melee types.......... I'm going to pitch a different character concept.

Tornek human psion

[sblock=background]

Tornek was your typical child with one major difference, the power of his mind was unnatural. He began to be able to bring things to him with a mere thought, which terrified his parents. His preteen years escalated the powers of his mind, an uncontrolled and dangerous power. That was when Syvaros came into his life.

Syvaros came from the east. He entered town and went directly to Tornek's house, knocked on the door and made his proposal. He told Tornek's parents that he was a Seer, and had foreseen this child and the power he had within him. Tornek's parents listened intently as the seer told of his own experience, of his own childhood. Syvaros had come to claim Tornek as a student, to teach him how to control and focus his mind. Tornek couldn't believe his ears when his parents agreed. They were scared of him, scared of what would happen if he stayed around them.

Training was hard for Tornek, as it required alot of meditation and self-reflection. Barely a month into training Tornek learned his first true skill...... by accidently summoning an Astral Construct. Syvaros was saddened when he learned that the young boy was not a Seer such as himself, but a Shaper. He wanted to help Tornek learn the disciplines of a Seer, but it appearded that Tornek must learn on his own.

Years past and Tornek had mastered many skills and developed a rigorous sense of self discipline. He had tattoo'd himself over the years, each tattoo a symbol of a power he learned. People viewed him as rather strange as the tattoos were only on the left side of his body. Syvaros was dying and bedridden. He stayed that way for months, with Tornek by his side most of the time. Tornek feared his death had come when he gasped for air, and indeed it had. It must of been the moment before death claimed him, but Tornek's mind was flooded with images from him. War. Death. A party of strangers...... The city was in danger.

I've been wanting to play a gnome illusionist for a while now. If you will let me use races of stone as a supplement then I would make him a shadowcraft mage. He's going to be a mischievious trickster, manipulating and observing only for his amusement.

EDIT: Unless you see an easy way to merit a wizard adventurer, I could play him as a sorcerer without difficulty. I will just focus on illusion spells with my spell selection.

 

[Starman]

Reading over my post again, I guess I didn't make it clear that I do envision this character as good-aligned. He just has a dark past and he's worried that he could slip back into that. That is the source of his rage.
