JimAde, Silence comes from a farming family too. Perhaps our characters knew each other as children?

Sounds good. Pretty unlikely that two random kids from a farming village would have these bizarre experiences, though. Maybe they should be related. "There's something odd about that family..."Isida Kep'Tukari said:
How about cousins? Our mothers can be sisters. Say our mutual grandfather was an eccentric with minor magical abilities (whether arcane or divine, I assume most people can't tell the difference). After fathering our mothers (with two different women only one of whom he was married to) he vanished. Most people assume he was just abandoning an awkward situation, but rumors persist that he was dabbling in things better left untouched and paid the ultimate price for it.
Duh duh dunnnnnnn!
Not a bad idea JimAde. Let's run with that.

Heh...sorry about that...I thought I had nailed Isida on a couple of char. sheet mistakes, but upon further review it seems that I was mistaken. So, I just quickly deleted it to avoid embarrassment.
So much for that...

Isida,
Okay, I've tried and tried, but I just can't find any problem with Silence's character sheet.
I've created a Rogue's Gallery thread for our game here:

Go ahead and post Silence's sheet when you're ready.
Next up, Insight's character, Tanus.

Tanus' Background
I have a background that hopefully will help to tie us together, or at least get us closer to that point in the history. Let me know what you guys think.
- TANUS OF GREYHAWK -
For as long as anyone can remember, the Tieflings have served the rulers of Castle Greyhawk. Many think that the tradition began with the Mad Archmage Zagyg Yragerne, who was known to dabble in demonology, but there is evidence to suggect that the Tieflings of Castle Greyhawk, who were Suloise with the hint of the blood of a Marilith demon, may have been in Castle Greyhawk for longer.
In any case, Tieflings had been servants in Castle Greyhawk for a long time. In that time, the Tieflings had come from being confined to the lowest dungeons, cleaning dungeon cells and torture chambers, to the near respectability they currently enjoy. In fact, the current Tiefling patriarch, Marald, was manservant to the High Seneschal himself.
This rise in status had its benefits. The Tiefling children were tutored, and given access to the entire castle, and even played with the human children. Tanus, Marald's second of three sons and the most intelligent and obstinant, was the brightest student of the bunch. He quickly realized and hated the Tieflings' place as permanent servants to the rulers of Castle Greyhawk. This hatred caused Tanus to flee Castle Greyhawk at age 16, not to return for a long, long time.
With little experience outside the castle walls, Tanus found a home with the traveling circus known as the Brothers of Garad. Tanus, gifted with natural agility and quickness, was a natural as a performing acrobat, and would travel with the circus for some time. The Brothers of Garad circus made its way from Greyhawk around the Nyr Dyv, to the lands of Veluna, Verbobonc, Bissel, Furyondy, and finally the Duchy of Urnst.
During these travels, Tanus also discovered a predilection for thievery. He would steal from every noble or wealthy merchant he would come across and, though he had been quite successful early in his career, Tanus' luck ran out while in Nyrstran, a city on the coast of the Nyr Dyv. He was imprisoned for thievery, and left to rot in the Nyrstran jail.
Things looked bleak for Tanus, as no one came to claim him or bail him out. He had almost given up hope when the Lord Mayor of Nyrstran came to Tanus with an offer to win his freedom. It seems that the Lord Mayor had acquired an abandoned keep just outside the city, and learned that it was full of undead and other sundry creatures, and had put out an offer to have the place cleared out. Tanus agreed to the offer, and was released into the custody of a Paladin who had been visiting Nyrstran, who had agreed, along with others, to aid the Lord Mayor.

Yeah, if this goes well, and you guys are hungry for yet more punishment, there's a good chance that I would indeed use it.
