Go read something in the storyhour forum or something...There we go.Alright. What I'm looking for is ideas for a PC for my Eberron game. She's intended to be the classic "naked girl in a box" (River, Melfina, Lelu) plot device, discovered by the rest of the party very early in the game (I want some suprise factor here since the player will be sitting out the first session and no one else will even know she's playing). Overall I want her to be a red hearing: she's a false lead placed by the Dreaming Dark within the Mournlands about a week after the Day of Mourning. As soon as it became clear to their agents that the destruction of Cyre could very well lead to the end of the last war they decided the best course of action was to place a false lead. This could be 'uncovered' as the cause at some point in the future, preferably in a way that makes it look like one of the five nations is planning to unleash the same sort of destruction on the others. The Dreaming Dark is knows just as little about the cause of The Mourning as anyone else. They want the last war restarted and giving the world a reason to fear a repeat of the Mourning through inaction (i.e. the last war ended because everyone was terrified that The Mourning could happen again, to them, if they kept fighting) plays right into their plans.So what kind of person would the Knights of Thrane find that they would consider important enugh to bring back to Flamekeep for divination and investagtion? The player will have no memories at all and be a clean slate as far as personality. I was originally considering an empty vessel of the Inspired (and to make it look like it was some sort of fusion of arcane magic and psionics), but the last thing the Quori want is blame turned towards Rideria. A Kalashatar would also be good (set the world against their most hated foes), but where would the Quori spirit come from? Likewise what would make a Kalashatar 'unique' enugh to warrant attention?Right now I'm thinking perhaps finding someone with the Mark of Death, peacefully sleeping in a mysterious tower (a meta-creative variant on Darem's) at the center of Cyre. She might not be an elf... in fact the wierder she is the better so it may make more sense to make her a human or similar. The player will be allowed to choose her class levels however she wishes (originally I wanted an empty vessel psion). She was created by a heavily augmented form of true creation (9th level or an epic power), using large numbers of Syberius dragonshards. Her eyes would have teanslucent amber irises with golden veins like a `shard.Any suggestions? Getting her into the group should be easy and a intergal part of the first adventure. I like the mark of death idea (she'll draw attention from, Vol, the Undying court and the dragons once the word gets out).</blockquote>
