Celebren of the Silver Wind
Ok, here we go for a starter... lots of tinkering on that one, but that guy is already starting to grow on me.
How much is the average starting gold for monks? it's awfully little I know...
I'd really like to have that Silver Flame Arrow Pendant, doubt I can afford it though
Oh, yeah.. do Monks need to be lawful in Eberron?

Name: Celebren of the Silverwind
Race: Half Elf
Class: Monk
Background:
Not too long ago, Celebren was just a minor Deckhand on a lyander ship that sailed the southern seas of Khorvaire. Though he always lacked the talent to make a decent sailor, he was well liked and respected among the crew. He never shied from a task and had a knack for calming hot tempers and settling frequent disputes that often plaque a vessels crew on long and arduous journeys in the tight living conditions of a ship.
The turning point for Celebren came on a stormy night when the ship was sailing too close to the coast of Dargoon. Having lost the course in the lashing winds, the lyander vessel fell prey to one of the small bands of hobgoblin pirates that often lurk in those dangerous waters.
The crew fought bravely, and Celebren among them, though he himself does not remember the haunting night too clearly.
Only when the fighting had ended and the crew had miracoulusly driven the pirates back to the sea with barly a man wounded that Celebren was told by the crew and his captain of his reckless fury that matched the howling winds and the silvery shimmer that had surrounded Celebrens during the desperate fight, bringing alight the windblown spray.
To this day, this particular crew toasts to the "Silverwind" that may blow all scoundrels back into the waters.
Knowing the signs so obvious, the captain took young Celebren to a Temple of the Silver Flame at the next big harbor (Sharn), along with a generous donation for his saved ship.
There, Celebren was initiated into the faith of the Souvereign Host as well as the martial training of those who follow Dol Dorn for the last few months while serving as an acolyte and apprentice watchman at the holy site.
So far he has not yet managed to repeat the miracle and his teaching is far from complete. Infact, this new prodigy is at best a mixed blessing to the Temple he now calls his home.
As his teachers frequently note, he can't yet wield the weapon of Dol Dorn without skewering himself and all to often tries to avoid the boring routine of templelife by "getting lost" in the the city of Sharn.
Appearance:
Celebren is short, lithe and lissom, leaning physically closer to his elven than to his human ancestry.
Having few earthly belongings, he usually wears the wide cut, white garment common among acolytes in the service to the Souvereign Host. Around his neck hangs a simple and wooden version of arrowhead-symbol of the Silver Flame as well as a cord with a few seashells, a gift and good-luck charm from his former crew.
Due to his service at the Temple, he is cleanly shaven and his black hair cropped short, brining out the slight elvenlike tips of his ears. In secret, Celebren greatly misses his shaggy hair and the small goatee he just managed to grow at the end of his sailoring career.
Celebren also carries a wooden practice sword (club) that he frequently uses to train spinning swordmoves and flamboyant attack routines (every so often ending with the sword clattering on the floor or bruising an unwary bystander).
