Thank you, I'm excited about this campaign and I hope to find a group of players who will be as committed to it as I am.
As for the background, I will leave that to you and your style. If you'd like to give lots of information that I may be able to use as plot-hooks, that is great with me.
The more information that can be given about the character's personality and reason for being at the Academy, the easier it will be to integrate the character with the rest of the group.
Rookseye: I look forward to seeing your submission.
BRP2: Thank you for understanding. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Background:
[sblock]Handed over to the Academy at only 4 years of age, Lucien was never quick to make friends. It is presumed that he is an orphan, one day merely appearing at the school, but Lucien himself does not know the truth of the matter. Unbeknownst to all but a few of the higher faculty who were there at the time Lucien arrived, he has a very faint tattoo on the crown of his skull somewhat resembling a map. While at the academy, he initially showed an aptitude for martial battle, but soon it was discovered that he belonged in the outdoors, which was happened upon by his constant drifting during lectures and consequently being caught staring out the windows (an odd punishment of sorts ensued where the instructor, finally irritated enough, sent him out into the woods for two full days (the administration agreed, hoping the harsh realities of the wilderness would shake him of his delusions), when he didn’t immediately return, they found him doing quite well for himself, having built modest fortifications by a small creek and currently cooking a rabbit stew). Every few weeks the Academy sends him on small hunting forays, not necessarily because the school needs the food, but Lucien becomes restless upon being outside without the constraints of ultimate freedom. It was during one of these respites where Lucien encountered his eagle and befriended her, somehow managing to win the bird’s affection. She is nameless, Lucien not wanting to fetter her freedom. She does not, however, accompany him everywhere, only when he’s outside for an extended period of time. A few chance encounters with the random lizardfolk has left Lucien bitter and angry at them as a whole, although the truth is hidden behind is oft-shut lips.[/sblock]
Personality:
[sblock]His peers perceive him as brooding, partly because he is in a sense, but he just hasn’t yet grasped certain social concepts. He comes off as an isolationist, but the truth is that he has never truly felt comfortable at the Academy. Never the object of ridicule, it almost seems as if his fellow students give him a wide berth, fearing he’ll unleash some pent-up orphan-anger, like has been rumored to have occurred a few times in the past, even to some of the faculty. Deep down, though, Lucien is very caring. Kind natured, helpful, and quiet, he has a large heart, but has never had the opportunity to show it. He is not overly religious, but doesn’t hold those strong convictions against people, unless he feels constantly hounded and pressed to conform to ideals he does not hold dear. Being one of the oldest, mysterious, and certainly one of the students with the most freedom, some of his juniors give him an aura of awe, which he doesn’t understand.[/sblock]
Appearance:
[sblock]Although not wholly unpleasant to the eyes, most never give him a second glance. His wavy, black hair is generally unkempt, falling to his shoulders. He’ll shave whenever he feels his beard itches too much, so mostly he’ll have a heavy shadow. His striking blue eyes do not inspire passion as one would imagine, instead they appear cold and calculating. He is not all-together tall, but not entirely short either. One would consider him sinewy, if ever anyone were to see him not completely covered up.[/sblock]

Background
[sblock]Trebuchet was one of the last models of warforged built by Cannith before the great forge in Cyre was obliterated in the Mourning. Similar, in theory, to the 'psiforged' that had predated him by only a few generations, Trebuchet was designed to be a living arcane weapon capable of providing the kind of heavy support that normally only years of training in a wizard's school could supply. As such, his spell reporatoire was largely pre-programmed, with permanant runes, hardcoded incantations and integrated artificer-crafted components that would allow the warforged to make the magic on an instinctive level, with abbreviated motions that would not be interfered with by his tough mithril shell, with little to no need for external components. The result was a complete success. Unfortunately, the war he was to be used in ended shortly thereafter.
Unable to simply dispose of Trebuchet since warforged were granted citizen status, and cognizant of the risks implied by simply turning the innocent young warforged loose, Trebuchet was instead dispatched to the military academy at remote Q'Barra. It was reasoned that he would be useful in that community's constant struggle against lizardmen and potential conflicts with the increasingly warlike Valenar. And if something DID go wrong and the warforged DID unleash uncontainable havoc, well, at least he'd be far from the Five Kingdoms and their delicate post-war condition.
The warforged has fit in surprisingly well at the Academy so far, impressing his superiors with his attentiveness, drive to succeed, and ability to follow orders, and making friends with his simple enthusiasm and honest outlook.[/sblock]
Personality
[sblock]Belying his intimidating appearance, Trebuchet (Often Trey or Treb to his companions), is actually very good natured and friendly. He is also eager to prove himself to his superiors and peers, and regrets having missed the Last War. He fully recognizes that he has been built to be an animate weapon and thus takes a sort of pride in the destruction he is capable of that can be offputting to people who don't realize that he's not remotely as bloodthirsty as he can sometimes accidentally sound. His interest extends into the philosophical as well, and he can easily spend hours discussing the nature of violence and warfare with anyone who cares to listen.
Aware of his relative youth and inexperience, Trebuchet is highly inquisitive and eager to learn. Anything. From anyone. He has had obedience to rules and laws drilled into him from the start, but notions of good and evil are still beyond his grasp. More than anything, he is simply -earnest- about everything; having no concept of deception or subtlety in socializing or combat alike.[/sblock]
Appearance
[sblock]Trebuchet is a stocky, tall warforged with broad build that makes him look stronger than he actually is. His mithril plated hide is pocked with odd hinges and closed flaps of unknown purpose. His head has a bit more of a skeletal cast to it than most warforged, with a prominant cheekbone, but sunken cheeks, and the suggestion of teeth along where his lower jaw fits against his upper. His eyes glow red, deep in the sockets. The same dull red has been inlayed and painted along his highlights as well.[/sblock]
