Vorinn Dartigan, Githzerai Psychic Warrior
Psychic :: (Read-Only) - Myth-Weavers
Keys:
1. Key of the Anarch
Chaos is Purity. Order is imagination solidified. To know order, to know chaos, one must create one from the other. Chaos from Order – Order from Chaos. Thus spoke Zerthimon.
2. Key of Paradox
You have heard the phrase ‘an irresistible force versus an immoveable object’. Now tell me, which of the planes do you think fits each of these? Ah, well, they all fit both. Sigil is an immoveable object, and She We Do Not Name is an irresistible force. Paradox is the foundation upon which the planes are established. Fanaticism fails not because it is too strong in its belief of one thing, but in its failure to also believe the opposite.
3. Key of Freedom (Duty)
Let no man raise his hand above you. The wrists of a Githzerai will never again feel the iron shackles of bondage.

Khalil at Myth Weavers.
[sblock=Personality and Background]Khalil is a very slim young man, brown skinned, his dark, curly hair and beard trimmed neatly. His features are composed and blankly unemotive, but for the searching, intent gleam in his unblinking eyes. He holds himself upright despite the suit of chainmail which appears to weigh heavily upon his slight frame. He listens much more than he talks, and when he does speak his voice is soft and measured.
Khalil's homeland is an archipelago off the coast of a great, arid continent; once his people lived all across the mainland, but millennia ago they were all but wiped out in a mysterious cataclysm that left their cities uninhabitable and burned the land to desert. What is left may be only the remnants of that great civilization, but it is still a beacon of learning and culture across the world. Khalil is the middle son of an aristocratic family, a scholar and philospher trained in the great Academies. His family have hopes for his future at Court, and he intends to do his best to respect those wishes - though his personal interests are rather less worldly.[/sblock]
[sblock=Keys]Key of the Cat
...the one that curiosity killed. You have devoted yourself to the seeking of forgotten lore and the darkest secrets of existence.
Key of the Dignitary
You're a man of honour and dignity, in your own eyes if nobody else's, and you should act accordingly.
Key of the Graybeard
You like to think of yourself as an authority, and enjoy proving it.

- Gain 3 XP whenever you do something that contributes significantly to your personal prestige and good name.

[sblock=Background]Born in a prime plane populated by anthropomorphic primates with humanoid intelligence (but void of humans), Pinder was part of an organization charged with maintaining the balance of nature in their part of their world, through any means, peaceful or otherwise. Though only a novice, Pinder was praised and highly regarded, and his mysterious disappearance, along with his faithful mount Sessay, during cultist eradication was deemed tragic and unfortunate.
Pinder is intelligent, measured, and articulate. He isn’t known for angry outbursts; instead he remains composed in his life, even in the face of danger or peril. He received a proper education during adolescence, is well mannered, and appreciates the arts, though he himself has difficulties fully expressing himself through artistic means. Sessay, a well-bred Husky, was gifted to him by his parents upon his induction into the druidic order.[/sblock][/sblock]

Key of the Swindler[/sblock]
[sblock=Background]Being whisked away accidentally to Sigil is how a number of beings find their ends. For Etrigan, it was a new beginning. He laid low until he'd learned the chant of things, adapting to the new culture as if he'd been born to it. While dabbling in legitimate pursuits of coin, Etrigan made the acquaintance of (...), a githzerai who sold his 'belief' in things. He explained to Etrigan how belief shaped, or could shape, the cosmos. At first Etrigan was dubious, but his further researches confirmed the essence of the gith's teachings. He got an idea from that. Why stop at one person's belief? Thus Sigil was introduced to the various iterations and incarnations of "The Method."
The Method is a generic name (he spices it up for each pitch) for what is essentially a con game Etrigan uses to lure jink in from the credulous and unwary. He claims that, for a fee, he will circulate stories and manipulate beliefs all around Sigil and the multiverse in the favor of the client...who will then see the very nature of reality alter itself to his benefit.
It's bunk, of course; altering the cosmos doesn't work that way...and even if it did, Etrigan's efforts to spread the new paradigm are not nearly enough to have such narrow, specialized effects. Even so, with his githzerai confederate, and the testimonies of those who got legitimately lucky after utilizing his 'Method,' Etrigan can make a good bit of cash before folding his tent and vanishing before those who did NOT become lucky can find him again.[/sblock]
