Message: <blockquote data-quote="N.Y. Wench" data-source="post: 2559560">Most of my char's info coming up!Natural armor: +3Natural weapon: 4 tentacles 1d4>     Improved Grab>     ExtractSpell resistance: 25Psionics:>     detect thoughts>     levitate>     suggestion>     charm monster>     planeshift (1/day only)Mindblast: 3/day (30' cone; 2d4 rounds)Telepathy:     100 feetLore:         6/dayAcquirables:>     1 special attack/quality,>     2 feats,>     2 skills,>     1 class feature.Background:A long time ago in [insert full name of apropriate region in Dyvwerside] there was a locally known bard whose hunger for knowlege surpassed whatever musical skills she had. Her name was Odro Shicame and she was obsessed with learning to an uinhealthy extent.One day the [insert type of aforementioned region] was awakened by the histeric galopping of a messanger (or atleast his horse) from [insert close but not too close region] who told tehm of an horror the like of which was never mentioned in anything short of cannonized apocaliptic proffecies.Everyone began leaving theyr houses. Quick. Everyne ran away, leaving the land clear, because they knew the proffecies. Odro knew the proffecies better. If the people were to understand the same things that Odro understood, they would only be even more freaked out then they were as it is but Odro was extatic at the realization!She learned enough, digging in written bull that no one else would even touch, to understand what it was: a Neh Thalggu.Prior in her life her obsession with the acomulation of knowlege and secrets led Odro to research closely everything that could be ever known about this entity, which takes the brains of those he deems worthy along with him on its journeys through many realities and existances.While everyone ran away in terror making a whole emmigration/evacuation to not be consumed or slain she herself rode in the opposit direction; Towards the entity that she could barely find any lore of, that only appeared once before in the world's history.She successfully reached Neh Thalggu and although nothing she knew meant this entity would understand her words (or much less care for them) she fell before it on her knees offering a sacrifice she prepared (a mighty mage from [insert something like a capital] who was inlove with her and followed her without knowing her real intention) and begging to be taken by the being she worshipped more than any god.Her prayer was answered.She loved her stay: the things she saw and learded! Besides immagine spending time not only in direct service of your "god" but also just inside him...But all that is good (for one and awfull for hundreds) must some day come to an end and ages later the Neh Thalggu got slain by an army of planefarers.The few who didn't die when the Neh Thalggu did got regenerated and that inclueds her. She didn't know what to do now that her neverending nirvana ended! Shw would kill the entire army if she could! After a couple month of wondering the Outlands she was met by a famous planeshifter who shown interrest in the knowlege she could have acomulated while being inside the Neh Thalggu. He took her as an aprentice but not in order to teach her anything but to learn what she knows whenever he'd feel such knwlege can be usefull.She served him for years because she knew if anyone could give her what she wants it was him. When he prepared to leave to some place where he refused to take her she demanded her final payment and the follwing conversation took place:"Lady Shicama i told you before and i tell yo again the Neh Thalggu you were... enthralled to is dead, perished, there is no way anyone can restore it to life!""Neh Thalggu cannot dye - He is eternal.""And that's another matter: you refer to it as if it was a name of some sort, but it's not! It's a monster, and an <it> not a <he>!""No! Neh Thalggu is not like any of the critters and abominations you study - he is a subreme entity, and you wuill be smart to seize depersonifying him.""Look, we were through this before, although it's almost unheard of, some material worlds have in tehyr legends mentions of Brain Collectors entering them and taking theyr greatest aracane minds, then -""These were all avatars of Neh Thalggu!""Well, whatever, your oppinions are too zealous to be subjected to debating. Whatever they are yopu know i can't summon you a new Brain Collector, or <call down an avatar of Neh Thalggu>, or whatever you would define it as.""Oh, i am aware. I don't ask you to do that anymore. I want you to turn me into one.""WHAAAAAAAAAAT???""Expected. I want you to make me into something with resemblance to Neh Thalggu, something that will please him and most importantly something that can harvest treasurechests of knowlege the same way he does. Everyone knows you know a ritual that can turn a person into almost anything - i want you to turn me into a minion of Neh Thalggu.""... You know what - i just might."Through the Ritual of Unlearning he made her a Mind Flayer and she was pleased. The rest is history: she went among mind flayers and earned theyr fear and respect and lived among them for years from some point learning how to keep some of what's in the brain when you suck it out.Personality:From the moment Odro became a flayer she willingly and gladly accepted her new racial identyty and forfeited the old one (she used to be a gnome) to which she was never very attached without a second thought. For her being what she is now is the greatest possible state of existance and if there is a greater one she knows she will find it thanks to her unbelivable determination.Learning and acomulationg knowlege is her first and ultimate priority. She has feelings and everything, but these are dulled and completely pushed to the second line. Everything exept her quest for knowlege is absolutely secondary to it, so much that a conflict is impossible. She has other things in her heart but even everything else combined doesn't get close to her devotion to acquirment of knowlege.</blockquote>
