I believe my submission is complete now. I've got a character sheet, a nice, moderate-length background, and of course, a "tl;dr" version of said background.

I love dark sun. I'm thinking about a Tiefling Bravura Warlord.

None[/sblock][sblock=Background]Ah'ral was a well liked raider captain from a respected trading clan in the dunes east of the city. The uncanny ability of raiders under her command to attack with the fury of a needlefang drake swarm helped to fuel her legend as much as her success in those endevers. While the fact she holds conversations with fire pits and braziers didn't phase her underlings because the spirits of fire would appear in battle to aid them, as a slave this behavior tends to get her left to herself by cruel and lustful guards.
The spirits of Athas whisper in the warlord's ears and into the ears of all the matrons of her sand scattered family for many generations. The spirit of fire in particular has taken an interest in the tiefling war director. Whether its her smoldering gaze, the blazing red shock of hair pouring down her back from between her gently arcing horns or her fiery personality is unknown. All she knows is that when she calls to the spirit world for aid, she is rarely ignored.[/sblock]

Korg Wellspeaker had lost his family to diease and was pressed into slavery to pay for the rites and their funeral. Before he got his slave markings, it was decided to transport him to another city state. His mekillot caravan was raided by ex-slaves, who freed all prisoners and offered them to join their slave tribe. Korg find peace again and found his focus in protecting the tribe as long as they need them. Finally he courted a dwarf woman and got twins with her...
Both died in the templar attack on his tribe and he was mortally wounded. In typical templar justice, they simply left him back to die in the desert, because he lacked any slave marks and they were only there to get the slaves back.
Korg crouched to the small but deep well of the tribe to commit suicide, having lost his focus and family again. But as he fell in the water, his wounds miraculousy healed and he heard a voice: "Not the time, the Water will not kill but sustain you!" In a geysir he was thrown back on land.
With his newfound strength he ran into a still burning hut, but the fire didn't burn him. "Not the time. The Fire will not burn you, but your enemies.
Desperate to die he finally climbed a big rock and jumped onto the sharpsurface, but the voices were back: "The Air will halt your fall and the Earth will not smash but sustain you!" He landed without harm.
As he accepted that the elements has chosen him, his mind cleared and he saw a new focus: find his love, free the people and heal the land.
H marked himself a slave and let himself caught, but was not brought to the same place as his wife, but to the Ivory Triangle's Rarun Salt Mines, his self inflicted marks interpreted as the ones of house Njeer. Here he waits what the voices will say next to him...[/sblock]

We have another week before I'm closing submissions. If I get more than 12 completed submissions, however, I'll close it early.

But...yes it does!
(From my post on page one, from "Kesh's Tale")
"Since then, he has been passed along from master to master, finally finding his place in the salt mines, toiling away."
