[QUOTE="Hawk Diesel, post: 6997042, member: 59848"] I got a start on making one of the backgrounds for Eberron: The Cyran Avenger. Only thing I need help with is the Background Feature. Any assistance or suggestions would be welcome. [B]Cyran Avenger[/B] Every Cyran still alive remembers where they were on the Day of Mourning. Most were out of the country. A rare few managed to be awake that early fall morning and outran the fog that killed a nation. But, regardless of where they were or what they were doing, every Cyran feels the deep loss of a grand, beautiful kingdom.... an entire people.... snuffed out in a single event. Most fall into depression. Others seek to remake themselves in some other identity. But there are those that remember... those who know someone, somewhere is responsible... and they will make them pay. Their nation has been ravaged, but the fighting spirit of Cyre lives within them. They are Cyran Avengers. [B]Skill Proficiencies:[/B] Choose two from Insight, Investigate, and Survival [B]Tool Proficiencies:[/B] One gaming set or one musical instrument, vehicles (land) [B]Equipment:[/B] A memento from Cyre (your child’s doll, a letter from your loved ones, a vial of Cyran soil, a tattered Cyran flag), a gaming set or musical instrument, a set of common clothes, and a belt pouch containing 10gp. [B]Suggested Characteristics[/B] The loss of a homeland and so many loved ones takes their toll on Cyran Avengers, but it also drives them to seek answers. The surviving Cyrans stick together and look out for their own. [B]d8 Personality Trait[/B] 1 I’m haunted by dreams of the Day of Mourning and the horrors within those grey mists. 2 I’m optimistic that one day the mists will disperse and Cyre will rise again. 3 I make it a point to celebrate the holidays and customs unique to Cyran culture. 4 I am utterly driven to find those responsible for the Day of Mourning and making them pay. 5 I never stay in one place too long as I tend to wear out my welcome. 6 I am slow to trust non-Cyrans and tend to be suspicious and on edge around strangers. 7 I use humor and wit to hide my pain and insecurity. 8 I donate as much as I can to build up New Cyre and help my countrymen. [B]d6 Ideal[/B] 1 Vigilantism. Those that wrong me and my people will pay dearly. 2 Cyran Pride. Cyre and the survivors are all that matter. 3 Survival. After the Day of Mourning, we must adapt or perish. 4 Power. I will use the tragedy of the Day of Mourning to further my own agenda. 5 Honor. If I dishonor myself, I dishonor Cyre. 6 Community. By living well and embodying the values of Cyre, the nation will live on. [B]d6 Bond[/B] 1 I have a lead on the cause of the Day of Mourning, and I must see it through. 2 I watched helpless as the Day of Mourning swallowed someone close to me. I will die before I let it happen again. 3 I only recognize the authority of Prince Oargev ir’Wynern, the rightful ruler of the Five Kingdoms. 4 After I was swallowed by the grey mist, a dark creature saved my life in exchange for my soul. I must find a way to win it back. 5 It was not by chance, but divine will that I escaped the Day of Mourning, and I shall devote the rest of my life in their service. 6 After losing everyone I ever loved, I have found a new family in those that fight next to me. [B]d6 Flaw[/B] 1 I criticize everything and use it as an excuse to talk about how the Cyran version was superior. 2 I spend every cent on an addiction (or several) to dull the pain of my loss from the Day of Mourning. 3 I have little patience for anything that does not further my quest for answers. 4 I will immediately fight any that besmirch Cyre or its people. 5 I have no problem stepping on my friends to further my need for answers. 6 I pretend to be a war hero from Cyre, but in a fight I am a total coward.
