Here's the background of El'em, stormsoul genasi wizard:-------------------------------------Below is a brief version of my characters background which should do for now. Re the NPCs, we could have encountered Mangesh when we entered the town and he gave us directions to the boathouse where we are staying. He used the opportunity to complain about the mischief being done on this boat and we promised to come back and help. We probably pumped Pennyweather with questions when we first arrived mistaking him for a bard, (or perhaps he is!). During tomorrows session Ell'em will be looking to hire a local urchin both as a guide around the city and to run errands. He will also have some poster made up and placed around the area advertising his magical services to 'Fix any object at a fraction of its price in just a few hours' Basically I'm going to use the 'Make Whole' ritual to fix things. Hopefully earning a bit of living cash and as a way of making new contacts in the city.BackgroundBrought up in the town of Siwal, City of Gardens El’em was known as an impetuous trouble maker who often tested his parent’s limited patience. In order to try and channel his energies and learn some self discipline they hired a mage to tutor their son in magic. This had some success in keeping him occupied but caused even greater problems when his temper flared since he now had magic at his fingertips.  A few months ago a sacred book of rituals was stolen from the Mosque of Zann. El’em’s tutor offered his apprentices services to track down the book and as a final ‘test’ of his skills. El’em leapt at the chance to prove himself and to the great relief of his family, his tutor, and the general population of Siwal, left of his first adventure! El’em expected his first adventure to be wrapped up in a few days, before moving on to something more worthy and exciting. But tracking the book has proved difficult and he is having his develop self control, patience and diplomacy in order to find leads as to its whereabouts. But his still tempestuous and abrasive nature has got him in a few scrapes and was during one of these that the Swordmage (????) came to his aid. Since then they have struck up a friendship and have joined forces to track the book. GoalsAs is typical of Genasi, El’em has great ambitions and a great impatience to achieve them. Quite simply he aims to become the greatest Genasi wizard that has ever lived! PersonalityLike many of his Stormsoul bretheren, El’em is inclined to great rages that often end in violence.  He often struggles against his nature but secretly revels in unleashing power and destruction.Neither good, nor evil, El’em is so focussed on his own ambitions that he often fails to see the consequences of his actions, or chooses not to.  El’em has little respect for nobility since in Genasi culture a person is judged solely on their own achievements, not those of their ancestors. He acknowledges law and order as a necessary evil but is loathed to have control exerted over him. He is by nature rebellious and will contest the status quo.  AppearanceEl’em is naturally proud of his Szuldar, (birth patterns) and wears clothing that exposes these. As is normal for a Stormsoul he has purple skin and his Szuldar glow with an electrical brightness.  Since travelling along the coast of the Corsairs Sea he has developed a strong affinity for the sea and its stormy and unpredictable nature. He senses this taps into basic inner urge, perhaps the first signs of another manifestation he will develop.----------------------------------Looking forward to it!Richard</blockquote>
