Wow, I want to make a 10th level character! 
So. We're to have known eachother since 1st level. What if we were all closely or peripherally involved in an Order of Ioun dedicated to the recovery of Ancient Knowledge and/or the militant opposition of Vecna (which, it might be argued, is the same thing)?
PARDON ME WHILE I RUN OFF ON A BRAINSTORMING JAG...
Some PCs could have started out as mercenaries and gotten behind the group's mission as the years passed. Others could have een dedicated to the Order from the start.
Seeker (renau1g's Deva Wizard) or Thanee's Cleric (if of Ioun) would be likely candidates for the leader of the group.
I'm interested in a Paladin of Ioun (Oni, care make complementary paladins? Twins even?) who accompanies the sometimes absentminded scholars on their missions.
OR
An Avenger placed in the group by the Order as a zealot watchdog, to keep the party free of Vecna's corrupting influences. Of course, over the years (years?) he's 'gone native' and would die for any of the party members. Except that halfling... still not sure about that one... *squints at the halfling*
OR
Anything really, but my PC would be one dedicated to service of the Order.
Some questions I'd like to answer...
-- Has the group lost any members along the way? If so, who? And under what circumstances? (yes is the more interesting answer here)
-- What has the group accomplished?
-- About the Order:
---- Is it affiliated with one particular nation?
---- Or is it an extranational organization with chapters in major cities the world over?
---- Is it large or small?
---- Is it well known or unknown (I would think it counter to Ioun's dogma to have 'secrets.'
---- What are members of the Order expected to do?
------ Teach the ignorant (hah, that could be a tenet subject to MUCH debate)
------ Help the poor, "The cares of life crowd out the Light of Knowledge. Ease the suffering of your fellows."
------ Fight Vecna and his operatives!
------ Oppose those who seek to control the flow Knowledge (they might be anarchists!)
...okay. Rambled enough.
If you didn't read, sign Sparky up for an Avenger of Ioun (at the very least assigned to Seeker).
