I'm an idiot....
My last post in the game was a mistake and not meant for this game at all. I will try and make amends shortly and quickly.
Feeling horrible,

Still working on the nuts and bolts, but wanted to post the concept to see what you thought, and if any one had suggestions for purposes of party balance etc. While I'm doing skills, I also had a question about how languages work:
As a professor, I have Speak Language as a class skill - is only one language a class skill for me or any number? Also, am I limited to 4 ranks total in laguages at first level, or would the limit be 4 ranks in each language? For background/character reasons, I'll be taking several languages and just wanted to get it right.
Edit: Combined character information into post below.

The Speak Other Language skill requires you to have the skill specialized for each individual language. So if you wanna speak 4 different languages you must have a different skill for each one. Then you may purchase up to maximum of 4 ranks in each language. So 4 language skills would equate to a maximum of 16 ranks spread over the 4 different languages.
Character looks great to me!!!!!

In 1917, with T.E. Lawrence leading a successful campaign of Britons and Arabs against the Ottomans, a young Jibril announced to his family that he was leaving his madrasa (religious school) and going off to fight the Turks. He and his father had argued about it before, and this time said only: "Whether the tyrant is in Istanbul or London, at the end of all this, we will still be slaves. We trust in God, for it is He who will someday deliver us, not this blonde unbeliever. If you abandon your studies for this fools' cause you are no son of mine.” But, sure in his beliefs, Jibril did leave, and began to train as a spy for the British military.
After the war ended, the British refused to grant Arabs their independence, and proved his father right. Still young, but bitter, Jibril left the military. He felt he could not go home to face his father, so instead, Jibril made his way out of the British Mandate and headed for America, where his uncle’s family had emigrated before the war.
Since then, Jibril has prospered. Always bright, he attended university, and there rekindled his interest in religious studies (Though now he studies in addition to Islam -- his guilty fascination lies with antiquated and even pagan religions, which would horrify his parents if they knew). He is now an assistant professor of Semitic Language and Culture at Tufts University, and is doing research for his dissertation in Comparative Theology. The only remaining hint of Jibril’s short time in the military is the standard issue rifle he still uses on the occasional hunting trips he takes to Maine and the Berkshires.
