Angristan "Ang" Stormfyr (Male Dwarven Dhampyr Druid1 )
Sounds cool! I am interested in the Dwarf/Eladrin alliance.
I have a Dwarven Druid here with the Vampiric Heritage feat. I can send you the text of it if you like.
Using the Character Builder I assigned all 22 points as normal ignoring the stat I wanted to give the 18 to, and then added in the Racial Bonus. This will most likely change, but I will definitely change it when we find out how you want this calculated. =)

History and other Background Info
[sblock]
Appearance:
Ang's head is shaved and his long dwarven beard is jet black. His skin is a gravestone grey - a little more pale than normal, but that could be attributed to long hours in the light less depths. His eyes are a bright green with a crimson sunburst around an inky black pupil with a predatory gleam. This could be attributed to his connection with nature and the will of the hunt. His ears are almost unnoticeably slightly pointed in an almost bat like or fey fashion, which could be attributed again to his connection to nature, or his feral leanings.
A jet black full-bodied and hooded cloak envelopes his stout dwarven frame as a forest green over coat peeks through and is in stark contrast to his slate grey clothes. A predatory and watchful eye peeks out from underneath the hood of his cloak as he leans on his staff.
Personality:
He walks suredly and unafraid, but is cautious when around those who do not know of his ancestry for prejudice and hatred follow in the wake of ignorance. He is confident is his abilities and his training. His tainted blood gives him and an advantage over others and it is on this that his assuredness is found.
Fears:
He revels in his Dhampyrism and enjoys it. Ang embraces the predatory nature of the blood that flows through his veins and is excited to see where it takes him. He continuously explores the connection between nature and dhamyrism and enjoys the dichotomy of both working together. He does worry that he may lose himself in it, like and addiction, and may fall from the path of usefulness to be a detriment and dishonor to his clan. Responsibly use the curse that has been laid upon you. It is now your tool.
Background and History:
Stormfyr History
The
Ironfyre clan suffered grievously at the hand of
Bael Turathi sorcerey. The once proud and prosperous Ironfyre clan, an industrious cavern faming and metalsmithing clan, were smote a with a heavy curse that made their clan leader a Vampire and corrupted the Ironfyre lineage to be greatly susceptible to spawning
Dhampyrs: day-walking vampire-spawn.
Once the clan leader's change awas known a great upheaveal broke and had clan-kin against clan-kin, which tore the clan apart leaving two distinct clans. The Ironfyre clan split into the Stormfyre and Ironfist clan. The fall out brought about most of the pure blood lines to the
Ironfist clan and the potentiall corrupted lineages to the
Stormfyr clan, which is arguably the true successor to the Ironfyre clan due to being the original clan leaders direct blood slowing in their now corrupted veins.
After a few centuries of ostracization and shunning the Stormfyr clan performed their work in the deepest and darkest caverns and only had pure blooded dwarves do business with the other clans of Darbardin, while the kin of the Ironfist tried to root out and spurn their former brethren's clan. The Stormfyrs never fought back but kept quietly and silently in the darkness biding their time, for someday they would be needed and vilification would be theirs.
That day came when undead from the teaers in the fabric of reality opened up to the Shadowfell and started to infest the dwarven lands. Long since had the Stormfyre clan resided quietly in the back of the clan's mind... out of mind and out of sight. Most attributed the undead to Bael Turathi magics or perhaps it was a pseudo-natural phenominal with the walls between worlds just happen to be weak, but the thought was there, ever so whispered, that the Stormfyre clan was a part of this.
They Stormfyr clan quietly and in the shadows patrolled their caverns and paths and found it easy to hunt and destroy them, with their senses honed to ferret out the dead. Their work moved essentially unhindered by the undeads growing presence in the nations lands. They sent out their people searching for the cause of this infestation and their people encountered members of the Ironfist Clan which was handily blaming their accursed exiled-brethren for these undead.
The Stormfyr member just stood there and pitied his former kin, and said "I pity you and your hatred for your kin. Even though you spurn us, we will help you to solve this, or we can keep to our lands and let you to suffer your prejudice. You know where to find us, brother." He nodded an walked into the darkness.
Longer still the Ironfist ranted about the evils of their former kinsmen's ways and disillusioned with their rhetoric the rest of the people became, for in several centuries they have heard nothing from the Stormfyres living quietly in solitude while providing the rest of the clan with their wares and goods through anonymous merchants, and the Ironfist members spewed hatred and anger at them.
The infections became stronger and more common and the Stormfyr agents became seen for the first time in centuries as they worked deeper and deeper into the mystery of the undead. Eventually, their Elders and their agents found the answers they sought. They knew where the temporal opening was and had the ritual to close it, but in order for it to be closed they were going to need help.
The Stormfyr Clan elder approached the nation's ruler and informed them of their findings and if they wanted it, the Stormfyr clan would perform the ritual at the appointed time and place, but they would need escourts and protecting, for the area is now under the control of a some sort of sentient undead master, and the undead now worked with some sort of rhyme or reason.
After months and months of heated debates and vitriol being spewed by the Ironfist Clan, the nationa, having exhausted many resources and lost many dwarves in search of an answer agreed to have the escourt the Stormfyr clan members to complete the ritual.
Excatly 5,000 of members of the dwarven nation gathered and were joined by 5,000 Stormfyr clan members with not quite half their numbers being Dhampyr, and together they prepared for the march to destiny.
It was a journey of a week into the heart of undeath of the Vampire Lord's domain. In the process of traveling there the Stormfyr clan members trained them in what they needed to know in order to defeat the horrors they would encounter, and their knowledge also happened to address their vampiric weakeness too. A great battle ensued to the death of all but 2 dwarves who survived to return home. The Stormfyr clan members fought ferociously to protect their brethren and the fought to their deaths.
Now, as a few years have passed, the Stormfyr clan's reputation has been greatly increased and fear of them has been lessened, for they sacrificed everyman they had to complete the ritual and save their brethren. The clan is reduced to a shadow of their former strength, but in making that sacrifice the Ironfist clan has been pushed away from of the mainstream society as the Stormfyre clan gains more acceptance. In the darkness the Stormfyr clan extended their hand to the Ironfist clan to have them return to the fold without prejudice. Their offer was rebuffed and their bad luck was blamed on their accursed blood.
Now the Stormfyr Clan has their uses in mainstream dwarven society since their peculiar set of talents gives them advantages that most nations would not have. And so begins our story of Angristan Stormfyr... Dhampyr... Dwarven Druid dedicated to Correlon.
Angristan Stormfyr
His childhood was not too unlike other children's upbringing. He played and learned and grew as the other children of his clan did. He played with them and they did not fear him even when his canines grew in anger. The only exception that set him apart from other children was the darkness that flows in his veins. A few of other brothers and sisters bore this gift too, but not all of them. He was taught to embrace it and to not deny it for it is a part of who he is. It is a curse laid upon us by Baelturoth that shall be waged against them when the time is right. Their curse shall be their undoing.
Angristan worked with his other clan members and he was taught to work with non-dhampyr. Getting along and working with them peacefully was a very important skill. The pure-blood dwarves are your kin too, and they just as much your blood kin as us storm-blooded.
Angristan of the storm-blooded clan, whose history is clouded and dark, but whose kin showed great sacrifice for their kingdom even while under their spurning eyes. Ang, most ironically, choose the path of nature to study to which his existence is the very blasphemy of. His predatory and vampiric demeanor is rather offputting to most, but he enjoys their reactions somewhat and revels in the irony of his profession. He uses the animal forms to unleash his animalistic and predatory instincts unpon the enemies of his people, and looks forward to further exploring his connection to nature and to the darkness latent in his blood. He goes where his clan summons him to be; serving their will -their dark servant of nature.
