All right, new concept ready to go:
Jaren Hallad, Talenta halfling druid.
Jaren is a true child of the plains, never as comfortable or happy as when he was with the herds of dinosaurs that his people depend upon for mounts and food. He found a strong affinity for the animals at a very young age and would often sneak away from other responsibilities to watch, and later ride, the wild animals. A mysterious hermit, actually a druid, took him under her wing when she saw him riding a wild clawfoot. She showed him that his connection to the dinosaurs of the plains was just the start of what he could accomplish in time, making a lifeling convert of him when she showed him her ability to change her shape into that of a glidewing.
Jaren studied with Yuliena for several years, growing in his connection to the plains and his understanding of druidic magic. His lessons came to a tragic end when Yuliena was killed while trying to defend a herd of Fastieth from an airship (something Jaren had heard of but never seen). He knew little of what had led to the arrival of the airship, but he knew that he needed to figure things out in order to prevent further harm to the herds (having embraced the natural quality of death, he felt no need to avenge his mentor).
As a result of the battle that cost her life, he discovered a few clues to the identities of those on the airship when he searched Yuliena's body, and he followed those clues to Morgrave University. He has just brought the pleas of his people, backed up with the wisdom of his druidic studies, to those in charge of the university's Dino-studies department. Whether his words will alter their practices has yet to be seen.
For now, he is planning to head back to the plains and his people, although he is curious about other areas of the world and the mysteries and beauties of nature that he might discover.
[sblock=Pinnacle] I'm thinking about going with the Spontaneous Rejuvenation class feature from PHB II. Would that work for you? [/sblock]
