Description:
In her natural form as a changeling, Cimarron is alien and unattractive. Her short hair is the color and texture of straw, her features are sunken and inexpressive, her eyes black and void. However, Cimarron is almost never in her natural form.

Cimarron has a few favorite personas. While working under the nose of the dragons, she often appears as either a wizened old woman, the Crone, or a pitiable woman burdened by the swell of pregnancy, the Mother. But the form she takes among friends is that of a carefree and fun-loving young woman, the Maiden.

Cimarron's final persona of note, and her most carefully guarded secret, is that of the Heroine. In this form Cimarron embodies the virtues of the enslaved and stands up to the tyranny of the dragons. Rumors paint her as the reincarnation of a mortal hero, returned as an alabaster angel too beautiful to believe, swathed in diaphanous white and bearing a sword of moonlight. The reality is crafted of illusion and improvised shawls of white cloth, but if the faith is there, people will see what they wish to see.

 

[Voda Vosa]

You know that Cimarron is the therm in spanish to address a domestic animal that has escaped and formed a separate population and presently lives like a wild animal?

Regarding Grumi

A stout and short man, he resembles much the dwarfs which with he grew up and was raised by. As a baby, Grumi was abandoned, or his mother was killed and the baby was left to his fate. Luckily, a dwarf found him in his cradle; the baby was in bad shape, and lucky, as no wild animals had spotted or smelled him.
Miltak, so was named the dwarf wizard, took the baby with him, and raised him like his own son. Grumi learned from his adopted father the arts of the arcane, and decided to leave the remote place where his father lives, to see the world, since he only knew the caves where Miltak dwelt. Miltak tried to warn him of the dragons, of the perils that were waiting in every corner. But the human wonderlust was incompatible with the dwarven patience and precaution. Both father and son had their goodbye, and parted ways, with the promise that one day, they'll reunite.
But not long before Grumi started his own path, a band of Kobolds captured him, and sold him to slavery.

Hi there...is this full yet or is there room for another?

My two character concepts are a Githzerai Seeker or a Shifter Druid...if there's room.

 

[JustKim]

You know that Cimarron is the therm in spanish to address a domestic animal that has escaped and formed a separate population and presently lives like a wild animal?

I sure did! It's intentional, and in the vein of Zorro.

Grumi sounds like fun. Does he act like a dwarf?

[sblock=Background]
No very strong, nor dexterous or having a strong connection to the feywild to draw upon, but bright, Erevan tried to follow the way of the wizard to defend himself.
It didn't take long to realize that he, despite of his great intellect, had no real talent in this formulated and bookish art of magic.
Focusing his learning on the mechanics of living bodies and the theory behind a successful sword fight, he still felt a distant pull from unknown magic...
But that was before the slavers came...

Notes:
I plan to re-train Melee Training (Int) to Heart of the Blade (Swordmage Multiclass) and taking Intelligent Blademaster as my 2nd level feat.

Grumi
level 1
...

The mage build doesn't receive the implement mastery feature and free Ritual Caster feat.

If you plan to use a staff implement, Staff Expertise is a really great feat.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Oh, so they do use staff, but don't have staff mastery?

 

[Walking Dad]

Yes, they can still use all wizard implements (there is some discussion if this includes tomes), but use arcane school benefits instead of implement masteries.

 

[Almightyfoon]

Hi there...is this full yet or is there room for another?

My two character concepts are a Githzerai Seeker or a Shifter Druid...if there's room.

Yeah we have room for another, but after that point I'm going to close up for the time being.
