[QUOTE="Ozmar, post: 2514426, member: 8021"] Hokay, howsabout this? So far, I think we have: Ozmar - [B]Karharath[/B], Psion (Egoist) 5 Someone - [B]Amalkhad[/B], Soulknife 5 Graf - [B]Jormal[/B], Barbarian 2/Wilder 3 Mista Collins - [B]Panitari[/B], Psion (Telepath) 5 ShaggySpellsword - [B]Selahtari[/B], Bard 3/Wilder 2 So piecing together what we've posted so far on backgrounds, I am gonna throw out some ideas just to get (or keep) the ball rolling. Feel free to edit, comment, etc... Karharath went off to war in the service of Breland, and nearly got court-martialled. He deserted his station at the end of the war, hoping that he would be presumed dead on the battlefield. Fearing prosecution, he decided to lay low in Amalkhad's village.

In Karharath's view, Amalkhad and others like them have a powerful gift, and they must use it to protect the kalashtar from the insidious attacks of the Inspired. Jorhad is a wild card (literally). He may have been born to a human/kalashtar union and grew up in some of the wilder regions west of Breland. He may have had to deal with orcs and goblinoid raids and frequent battles. Maybe his parents were killed, and he resolved to seek out others of his kind and so travelled eventually to Sharn, hearing that there was a large community there. Once in Sharn, he found his way to Overlook, and was taken in by the Had clan. He came to the attention of the Enlightened Havakhad, who saw great potential in the young barbarian.
