I am interested as well, let me see what I can come up with. I usually wait and see where the holes are and try to fill in from there, but idea for a character...
Rahveon "Mountain Shaker"
Rahveon comes from a tribe of Dor'Kalien who roam the Savanna of Undella. They resemble the Elephants they have domesticated. Rahveon grew up in the shadow of Drumak Sule, the great mountain that rose up from the Savannah.
Drumak Sule was the home of the great fire serpent who protected Undella from the great evils of the world. While the Dor’Kalien paid homage to spirits and not Gods, the Fire Serpent was considered the greatest of the spirits. Which is why Rahveon’s family was treated with such high regard, as they were said to have descended from it.
Rahveon was born the son of the chief, and among a people renown for their strength, he was considered strong. He was also considered headstrong and impulsive. While the Dor’Kalien were mostly peaceful and subsisted on the bounty that the Savannah provided, they knew it was valuable to have warriors to protect from the terrible things that hunted the nights. Rahveon was quickly apprenticed with the night guardians.
But Rahveon also had a great love of the Lore keepers and story tellers, he spent much of his early years under their tutelage. Learning their unique brand of magic.
The defining moment of young Rahveon’s life came in the year of the Swollen River, where floods brought disease with them. With most of his tribe sick and dying, he rose to the hights of the great mountain Drumak Sule, to beseech the Great Fire Serpent for aid. After a long and treacherous climb, he found its home and plead for his people.
The Great Wyrm Verain’tral, whom the Dor’Kalien called the Great Fire Serpent, answered the call for assistance and brought his healing magic to Rahveon’s tribe. He saw potential in someone who was willing to take such great risk to aid his people. He took on Rahveon as his apprentice of sorts and over the next few years, instructed him. He awakened the Draconic blood that ran threw his veins.
After years of instruction, Rahveon had grown beyond what his tribe could offer, he took to wandering, bringing his might to the aid of the helpless and innocent.
He earned the name Monutain Shaker, when he did battle with the Balor Prince Kalfashe over the possession of Verain’tral soul, which the Balor Prince had stolen.
(Roughly speaking African Elephant Animorph (from savage species) which has 2 ECL and 3 racial hit dice
ECL 2/ HD 3/ Bard 4/ Barbarian 5/ Dragon Disciple 16)
The stat roller doesn't seem to be working for me. (won't add my roll to the database, I don't think I am doing anything wrong.)
I am assuming we are doing things like we did in your Vile Darkness game in regards to Hit Points (+1d8 for ECL and 75%)
