Message: <blockquote data-quote="Angellis_ater" data-source="post: 4604238" data-attributes="member: 37442">I was considering the following backgrounds:Dragonborn - Elemental Monk (the dragonbreath becoming a single expression of a chosen Elemental Style). The character was raised and trained amongst the warrior monks of either the Open Palm or the Closed Fist and because of this he is tougher, more dangerous in combat but also well educated and taught to be a leader.Dwarf - Soldier. The character has been apart of the Imperial Army since he was very young. He has learned how to stay focused, keep working on regardless of what happens and has eaten everything the Jade Empire has to offer in his travels.Eladrin - Scholar. The character has studied with those who have mastered the Magic Styles and has thus learned Spirit Jumping (teleport) as well as the Stance of the Transcendant Body (trance meditation). As a martial artist, he has also been taught the Dancing Longsword Style (ie proficiency with longsword and the possibility of taking Eladrin Soldier).Elf - Outcast. Born amongst hunters, mercenaries, thugs or even outlaws. You have learned how to get ahead in life, most commonly in the wilderness. You're trained to hunt (proficient with bows and bonus to Nature and Perception) and trained to be observant and fast above all things.Half-Elf - Trader. Born on the road either amongst traders and merchants, or perhaps a travelling circus, theatre group or performers. You have learned how to get along with people, from the day you were born and have picked up ideas and even martial training from many sources.Halfling - Not Available as Background (unless someone has some good ideas here?)Human - Varied. You have no defining trait that colours your background. Like so many others, you have spent time both in the country and in the city. You have walked amongst the winding roads of the Imperial City and the treacherous paths of the Shadow Forest. There is no occupation that is beyond you and whatever you choose, you've probably already encountered and understood much of what its essence is about already.Tiefling - Aristocrat. You've been born and raised privileged. You've been taught to think for yourself, yet you could flaunt your education. You were taught to be gracious, and so you've learned how to lie, bluff and get away with whatever fancy strikes you. The aristocracy, regardless of whether it is nobility, royality or the privileged elite, looks down upon the common man. You're most probably jaded already and when your feelings do roar to life, they're often filled with malevolence and bloodthirst. You've been protected by a ritual that defends you against fire, a mark of the privileged.Whatya think?</blockquote>
