The first character is "lightly flavored" with eberron. The second most certainly isn't.Currently considering[sblock=Halfling Sorcerer Dinorider]Always wanted to play a halfing Dino-rider...

Perpetually perched on the back his his mount. PersonalityBrodi's scary appearance is somewhat ameliorated by his quick, dry wit. His gallows humor is sometimes grating, but more often charming.BackgroundBrodi was a young, carefree, the seventh of seven boys of the local tribal chief. Blessed in both looks and magical ability he cut a swath through the ladies in his youth and was an active campaigner for tribal unification in the face of the various threats alloyed against the plains.He had periodic powerful dreams of destruction, but choose (he realizes now) to lose himself in fun and frolic instead of taking them seriously.Then, one day, a nearby militaristic kingdom excavated some ruins from an older, darker era seeking a weapon of dark power. A band of Elvin mercenaries had hired Brodi's tribe to help guide them to the kingdom's dig. The Elves were themselves in the employ of a rival kingdom, who Brodi never learned. The idealistic young halfling supported working for the elves, driving the kingdom from the plains was good, having others do the fighting for them and getting some pay for it was even better.The night that Brodi and his fellows guided the elves to the dig site he had his most powerful vision yet. Falling into a kind of trance in his saddle. He awoke to the sound of explosions and screams. He watched from a nearby hill in a stunned stupor as purple energy lanced through his tribe's huts, killing everyone.He was the only one who survived that night. For a year he was a broken man, riding the plains with the elves (who saw meaning in the fact that he alone survived the destruction and allowed him to ride with them provided he "kept up").Anything that lives heals, Brodi's regained his balance. His visions are gone, replaced by a crackling energy that lives under his skin. And he's vowed he won't ignore his "gifts" again, he rides the world seeking a worthy target for the malignant energy that he contains.Modus OperandiBrodi's spells are comprised of a malignant purple force that warps space and reeks of strangeness. The same power that destroyed his tribe had touched him, and left it's mark.Brodi can take hits if he has to, but he prefers not to, staying on the fringes of combat and using his spells to blast foes. He's a skirmisher, and, while he's got a decent sense of tactics and won't abandon his companions he doesn't stay still if he can help it.[/sblock][/sblock]<s>And something a bit weirder</s>Having read the first post again this obviously wouldn't fly. Maybe changeling? That'd fit the same sort of theme. Could be interesting to have two in the party.[sblock=Changleling (?) Archivist (wannabe ur-priest)]Vren was seperated from his people early he remembers them little. "They sold you" the old elf said. He asked why the old elf bought him, but the elf would never say."You have no god". The gaunt old figure said, "for your people are cast out and abandoned.""Thus you are doomed an eternity of anguish when you perish; your soul will to burn in perdition for all eternity."And Vren was very scared, for it sounded most horrible."But in this life, at least, I can help you. For there are ways to gain the benefits of the gods without bending your knee. To be cast out is most horrible, but it gives you freedom. Among all the people in the world you alone do not have to abase yourself before those powermongers. In this life, I can give you power."And thus Vren became a student of the old elf. He learned to use treachery and guile to steal scrolls from traveling priests, and in time to unlock their secrets. He learned dark secrets and even how to cast the spells of divinity himself.Then, one day, the old elf was killed, stealing from a death priest. And Vren was alone. Within a year he realized that his people had a god after all, that the old man had lied. And he went back to the shallow grave he'd dug for the old elf to spit upon it but he found the earth loosened.Now he travels the world in disguise, looking for answers he fears he will never find.Honestly a skulk Archivist is a terrible idea... (ELC + Hit Dice = Caster Level 4). I should probably find a race that works better (for some reason the idea of a skulk appealed to me -- probably the innate non-detection). Maybe a goblin?But I figured I'd see what the DM thought before pushing something out.[/sblock]renau1g: Please give me your unalloyed opinion. If you think the ideas aren't cool (AKA are cheesy BS) just let me know and I'll try to roll up something a bit more "core". This is just what popped into my head.</blockquote>
