Barbarian Fast Movement (Ex): Rashak's land speed is faster than the norm for his race by +10 feet. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load.
Whirling Frenzy (Ex) (UA p66): +4 bonus to Strength, a +2 dodge bonus to AC, +2 dodge bonus on Reflex saves, for up to 8 rounds (3 + newly improved Con modifier). While in a whirling frenzy, Rashak may make one extra attack in a round at his highest base bonus, but this attack takes a -2 penalty. Fatigued (-2 penalty to Strength, -2 penalty to Dexterity, can't charge or run) for the duration of the current encounter.
Sneak Attack: Rashak's attack deals +3d6 extra damage any time his target is denied a Dexterity bonus to AC or when he flanks his target. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks if the target is within 30 feet. With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, Rashak can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage.

Dervish Dance (Ex): Rashak can perform a dervish dance three times a day, for 6 rounds (1 round for every two ranks of Perform (dance)), but only once per encounter. He gains a +3 bonus to attack and damage (+1 at 1st level and +1 every odd-numbered level thereafter) while in a dervish dance.
While in this dervish dance, Rashak can take a full attack action (melee attacks with slashing weapons only) and still move up to his speed. Rashak must move a minimum of 5 feet between each attack when using this ability, and he cannot return to a square he just exited. Rashak is subject to attacks of opportunity while dancing, but may tumble normally as part of his move.
Rashak cannot perform a dervish dance in armor heavier than light or if using a shield. While dancing, Rashak cannot use skills or abilities that involve concentration or require him to remain still. Rashak cannot perform a dervish dance while under the effect of a rage or frenzy ability. Fatigued (-2 penalty to Strength, -2 penalty to Dexterity, can't charge or run) for the duration of the current encounter.
Movement Mastery (Ex): Rashak takes 10 on Jump, Perform (dance), and Tumble checks, even if stress and distraction would normally prevent him from doing so.
Slashing Blades: Rashak treats the scimitar as a light weapon.
Dervish Fast Movement (Ex): Rashak gains a +10 ft enhancement bonus to his speed. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor or light armor, and not carrying a medium or heavy load.

Description
Rashak is a well-muscled, darkly handsome man. His hair is the darkest black, almost blue. His skin is strangely bronzed, much like that of a deeply tanned southerner. And his eyes are as black as any you've seen. Most of his clothing is also black. Even the pommels of his scimitars are wrapped in black cloth. Rashak wears no armor. Weapons, mostly scimitars, are strapped all over him. In the early dawn or darkest twilight, you might catch him spinning in the black night, slashing his scimitars through the night air, perfecting his deadly choreography.
Background
Rashak was born a slave in the Underdark. He was a spirited child, and often struggled or fought with his drow captors. The drow did not kill him, however, as he was a young child and he had the physical potential to be a good slave. He just needed to be broken in. As punishment, he was often kept in complete darkness. In the utter blackness of the Underdark, Rashak started to develop extraordinary senses. Perhaps he has some dragon blood in him. Whatever the reason, Rashak gained the Keen Senses, and when he concentrates, the Blindsense, of a dragon.
When the slavemasters were not around, Rashak would practice his skills, training his body to be strong, fast, and evasive. His moment came one day while laboring in the mushroom fields. A raging umber hulk broke through the cavern walls. The distraction was enough for Rashak to escape. Rashak was fast, faster than his pursuers. And to the slavemaster's surprise, Rashak kept going, into the deep darkness. It was Rashak's enhanced senses, combined with his great speed, that enabled him to escape and survive.
With nowhere else to go, Rashak circled around and went back to the drow city of his masters. Hiding amongst the masses, Rashak discovered worshippers of Eilistraee, who helped protect him. Rashak survived and continued to train. Fearing he might be spotted, he travelled to another drow city as soon as he could. Then another, and another, moving further from his former slavemasters. Along the way he continued to practice his skills and developed a combat style that combined his assets - strength, speed, and quickness. Rashak left his life as an escaped slave/street urchin, and took up a career as a mercenary. He has an abiding hatred for slavery, but has learned to disguise his feelings when dealing with the denizens of the Underdark.
After a time, Rashak's curiousity about the surface world got the better of him. Wanting to learn more about his human heritage, Rashak has been travelling across the earth of the Flanaess, seeing the great civilizations of the sunlit world.
