[QUOTE="Arcanus, post: 368062, member: 800"] Working on the background thing right now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. He first off he is a sorcerer, so he has mysterious arcane abilities derived from somewhere or something from his family history. So far this is what I got. He realizes that he is different than other wizards/clerics etc... He gets spells from just resting, no prayers or studying. So he goes about researching his homeland (maybe Calimshan if i take Bloodline of Fire) to try and discover if any major magical catastrophies has taken place around the time of his older known family. His research also drives him into researching religions, ancient history and anything arcane in general. He now has developed Skill Focus Knowledge history. He goes on several fact finding and rumor chasing excursions. He finds a like minded order of arcane spellcasters called the Elder Druids. Having no real loyalty to any real god he fits right in. Using this order's vast supply of knowledge he gains further insight into the Arcane and the Outerplanes not to mention events that have shaped the way of magic and the land in which he has lived his life. Sometime in his career he has stumbled upon the knowledge he has a blood-relationship with Outsiders/or/Dragons. Finding names for such relatives and stories about them he attempts to track them down or at the very least he contacts them somehow. Much to his disapointment he doesn't receive any family picnic type reunions, (possibly said Dragon great, great, great, great, great,great grandfather thinks he could make a picnic out of me) not sure about that though). Anyway the only success he has is one relative (outsider/dragon) that is willing to explain his mysterious ancestry and his awesome arcane powers. The character now has aligned himself or has sworn fealty to this relative in exchange for tutorship of Eldritch Sorcerery. Now he has another PrC called the Eldritch Master. He has made promises and oaths to said relative to share and perform favors in all matters arcane and supernatural with his teacher and to bring more beings into the fold. (working for the man so to speak). He has only gotten his appetite wet for more knowledge and he gets virtually no favors from his teacher(s) they pretty much just opened the door for him and he does all the work so they don't have to. From time to time they call on him to perform tasks or investigate strange and wonderous things. He rarely gets the chance to talk to them about his own matters and when he does it is just like "Contact Other Plane" or "Commune". During his travels he sometimes teaches and tells tales of Arcane Angels and other outsiders etc.... Any help on the above or opinions would be welcome [/QUOTE]
