Background:
The earliest memories of the Shifter known as Lynx are the great gates of the Morgave University.
He can neither recall his parents or his place of birth and sometimes it seems that his life begins back at that faithful day, when that nameless and feral street urchin he used to be, was traded for a few coins to Professor Alaczar of Sharn.
That day, he passed the (for a youth in a cage) mighty and intimidating gates of the University, a moment that was to stay in his mind for the rest of his life.
Of his early stay in Morgrave, Lynx has mainly painful and haunting memories. Professor Alaczar was an unscrupulous and ambitious Wizard, who never treated Lynx as anything other than a wild animal and often conducted vicious and cruel experiments with his "collection of exotic beast" as part of his research. Growing increasingly savage and bitter, Lynx eventually managed to escape his cage and led most of the Morgrave Staff through a wild chase all over the University grounds, injuring many as he went with his vicious claws. When he was eventually recaptured by a Spell, he possibly might have found his end then and there, being put to death by Professor Alaczar like a rabid dog.
Fortunatly, another Scholar, Professor Lepidus who was long at odds with Alaczar for his inhuman methods, saved the Shifter and took him under his care. It didn't take long for Lynx (his new name, for his feline likeness and the typical tufts on his ears) to embrace his new life. He quickly befriended Cariosa, Professor Lepidus striped cat and started running errands for the always busy Professor.
To everyones (except Lepidus) great surprise, Lynx showed a keen intellect and interest in all things and quickly learned to read and write, and even took up the magical arts, showing no less talent than most other students that came to Morgrave.
Eventually, Lynx was chosen as an apprentice to the Enchanter Lepidus and even graduated to the status of a journeyman a few years later.
As a journeyman Wizard, Lynx is often found traveling through Khorvaire with Cariosa, chasing the riddles and mysteries that can be found in this strange land at these strange times. More often than not, he undertakes his mission on behalf of his Mentor Lepidus, who increasingly tries to avoid the discomforts of exploration and adventuring as he grows older, prefering instead to work from his laboratories.
Because of this, Lynx holds close ties to Morgrave and his Mentor Lepidus, even though there are quite a few people at Morgrave that hold a grudge against him (especially Alaczar).
Appearance:
Lithe and lissom, Lynx isn't a very imposing figure.
His slender build is emphasized by his habit of crouching or cowering whenever possible; obviously Lynx doesn't feel all that comfortable standing up straight.
His features are quite distinctly those of a shifter, with slanted feline eyes, a broad nose and the sharp teeth of a carnivore.
Most noticable are the blacktipped ear tufts and the red-and-grey ruffs on his cheeks that earned Lynx his name.
His muscular hands and forearms (which are quite hairy) end in sharp and pointed fingertips that may turn into savage claws at a moments notice when Lynx is threatend or frightend.
Similarly, his behaviour may rapidly shift from a surprisingly civil and lettered conversation to a feral growl or back again, putting off many people unaccustomed to the shifters erratic behaviour.
Because of his many less-then-amiable experiences with humans (or elfs, dwarfs, etc..) Lynx tends to be shy and wary around people he doesn't know, warming up to others only after quite some time.
He wears well made clothes cut for travel and the outdoors, fastend with belts and straps across his chest and on his hips.
With these he carries a dazzling collection of pouches, loops, clasps and bags (including a Handy Haversack), holding anything from his potions and books, to polished stones, colored marbles, exotic feathers or his fine Short Sword.
On his chest sits a finely crafted clasp displaying the emblem of the Morgrave University (Brooch of Shielding).
Also, the striped cat Cariosa is rarely far behind, usually demanding his constant attention or skulking between Lynx feet.
