If you're already booked, no harm, no foul:Shifter (shiftwing) Cleric:[sblock=Galec Setou]Galec was raised in relative seclusion, on a small farm off any main thoroughfares. But much as his mother feared for his safety, when the young shifter learned how to fly, there was little Momma could do. High above everything, revelling in the wind caressing his face, the warmth of the sun all that much closer, Galec didn't notice the hunter until his arrow tore into the young shifter's shoulder, and he fell, hard. He heard and felt the bones crunching when he landed. His vision swam, his body burned with pain. The sound of the hunter, spitting out his hatred for "aberrations" like Galec, echoed oddly. He was going to die, the hunter promised.But Galec fought. Through the pain, through the blinding fear, he fought, dodging blows and returning his own. He refused to give up, to believe his gifts were a curse to be cut out of Eberron like an infection. And when he could do no more, and the hunter once again raised his sword, another blade erupted from the man's chest.A small group of Iron Ravens, using the sparsely-populated countryside to move discreetly on their way back from a mission, had chanced upon the struggle. Vorias, the group's medic and himself a worshipper of Dol Dorn, knew his god would never forgive him for letting such a fiery warrior fall at the hands of the kind of bitter coward who shot children. Unable to stop but also unwilling to let Galec suffer alone, Vorias convinced his commander to let him take the shifter with them, tending his wounds (and preaching Dol Dorn) as they continued.Against Ranos' better judgement, Galec stayed on to become Vorias' assistant. He learned medicine, faith, and martial prowess from his mentor, and grew into something of a mascot for the Iron Ravens (he even began referring to his avian form as his Raven Aspect). Apparently Dol Dorn approved, as on top of his natural abilities, Galec gained the rare gift of divine magic, as well.[/sblock]Human Sorcerer:[sblock=Liev Sibin]Liev is a wild child. Orphaned early, he took to the woods, intending to eke out an existence with the woodcraft he'd learned from his parents.There Liev discovered two important things. First, travelers could be amazingly superstitious when they were off the trail and under the canopy. They jumped at little things, sometimes packing up and running off in the middle of the night rather than face whatever rustling and noises they encountered in the woods. In their hurry, they had a tendency to forget things, and Liev was only too happy to take care of such abandoned belongings.One of those belongings was a book about magics, from which Liev learned the second important thing: he had an innate gift for the arcane. It was an odd thing at first, expressing itself as random displays of light or sound. But when he learned to control it, well ... let's just say the abilities went a nice way to helping him take advantage of that aforementioned superstition.He'd grown to be something of a local legend, a spook haunting the forest, responsible for unexpected bursts of cold or spontaneous combustion. And, as overfed merchants and self-important minor nobles ran at the odd sights, Liev found he'd made a comfortable little niche living for himself.Unfortunately, he finds comfortable is horribly boring. So when he spooked a courier out of a bag of gold and a missive promising clandestine adventure, how could he pass up the chance? Intending to pass himself off as the son of the intended recipient, Liev set off to see just what these Iron Ravens had to offer.[/sblock]jason</blockquote>
