Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aereas" data-source="post: 2867574" data-attributes="member: 31008">Curse you Shayuri! That was gonna be my idea ^_^Ah well. After some thought to it I have another idea. A monk(5)/soulknife(5) going for warmind in place of monk, and a seeker to boot!Conceptual fluff:[sblock]Drognan began his life in a monastary. There he was tought enlightenment and religion. At that time he viewed Mystra as the creator, the one to strive to be. He lived his daily life by Mystra's tennets and was a devoted pupil. While he had no grasp of magic himself he trained his body and mind so that one day he may be deserving of her touch and the magic that flows with it.As we fast forward a few years and we find him and his beloved being attacked by bandits. They were acting as guards for a caravan to earn some money for the monastary. When the bandits attacked they were outnumbered and he was too weak to protect either of them. Her spells held off many of them but not even that was enough. He could do nothing as he heard her screams as they ravaged and tortured her. Chained and broken he prayed to mystra:Maiden of all magic I beseech your aid. I have never asked for anything and dedicatedly followed your teachings in hopes to one day be worthy of your grace. If it is a life you require then take mine. Lirana does not deserve this kind of an end. Save her, I beg of thee!The night passed by with him repeating this unanswered prayer over and over. Finaly morning came and the bandits drug Lirana's lifeless body from the tent and threw her on the fire to fuel the morning flames of breakfast. That was when Drognan began to curse Mystra's name. She abandoned his love and someone who deserved to live far more than he did. That day he vowed he would find a way to avenge her if he survived this, and never again would he follow Mystra's ways.Shortly after the bandits finished thier breakfast a woman came strolling into the camp. The bandits spung to action and began attacking her. However, she used some blade that sprung from her arm to defend herself. Her movements were flawless! Drognan stared at her mesmerized by her sheer perfection and skill. WIthin seconds the bandits were dead and she had him free. Drognan was still too weak to move on his own and so she carried him out.During the next year they traveled together, and he learned much. Her name was Lathandra and she was a warmind. Someone studies to the art of warfare. She taught him much, including how to tap into his own power and conjure a blade of his own will as well. She taught him that this was not the only plane and that many others existed, about the factions and thier beleifs, and ultimatly how to defend himself.They shared many adventures together, but with her he felt a feeling much like how he felt with his lost love. That feeling began to make him feel like he was betraying her. He was powerless to save her, and now here he was falling for another woman. He couldn't do that to her. He had to become strong enough to fend for himself! It was the only way to avenge her death and pay proper tribute to her memory. The next morning he told Lathandra that very truth. She was flattered that he felt that way and understood. She was a member of the transcendant order afterall. So she opened a gate to the Outlands and gave him directions on how to find the headquarters. There Drognan would have a place to learn her art and study from the same teachings she has.[/sblock]Personality:[sblock]Drognan is talkative and outspoken. He acts on his whims beleiving they will lead him to true enlightenment and strength. The Seekers teach that you must devote yourself to one thing if you want to achieve perfection. Drognan has devoted himself to the art of war. Much like the Athar he has seen the lies of the gods. He was forsaken by them and now he wants nothing to do with them. That is the extent to his shared beleif with them though.Drognan is a kind soul at heart. His beliefs tell that you must let others help themselves, but you must help those who can't do it themselves. He has led a hard life and no longer follows the path of the pure soul, yet he also has not fallen so far that he has given in to evil. Self perfection is his striving goal, and companionship is a secondary one.[/sblock]A question:[sblock]The feat vow of poverty fits my idea and I'd like to take it if allowed. Given the opportunity Drognan would then beleive to the extreme that items are a weakness. To acheive true perfection one must be able to fend for themself with no help at all.However, I realize that many view that feat as being overpowered and so I have formed my initial concept without that feat. I just wanted to know if you would allow it at all.[/sblock]</blockquote>
