Whathe’s often Carrying:Nothing at this time.DescriptionWeight:152Gender: MaleDescription: Yarvokis a darkly handsome youth with a sardonic sense of humor, which winshim chuckles from others and ire from the target of his humor.  Hehas rapidly learned to be unsurprised at the attention he receivesfrom females.  Men have also occasionally tried to get close to him. They are quickly rebuffed though, rarely taking more than a glance ofa hellfire-lit eye to get the message.  Yarvok’s angsty, teen badboy personality combined with his smoldering good looks have gottenhim both into and out of several situations.  One such situationinvolved a lonely merchant’s wife in a port city, bored and withtoo much idle time on her hands.  Yarvok returned once again to supfrom his sugarmomma, but she was no where to be found.  He had a badfeeling that maybe they'd been found out or worse.  The transactionof services and goods between them had netted him enough money to buypassage on a ship to Stormreach and a few meals, and he skipped townwithout ever finding out what had happened.BackgroundYarvokis pragmatic to the point of ruthlessness. At the age of 16, much tohis mothers delight, his warlock powers began to manifest. He had noidea who his father was. His mother was a witch, living out herexistence and raising her son in the sheltering embrace of a darkforest. Yarvok had never really had any interest in the dark arts hismother continuously pressed him towards, but ultimately, she won thatlittle contest of will. One day, as he was doing his favoriteactivity, (target shooting with a longbow he had been given for hisbirthday) his mother approached him. He ignored her as was his usualresponse, until her hand came to rest gently on his hip. "Such ahandsome young man..." she started. Yarvok paused, his aimingeye rolling to glance back at her as she pressed herselfuncomfortably close. "Have I ever told you of your father? Hisname is -" Yarvok never heard the rest. Baleful images suddenlyclouded his mind and his eyes. In them, he saw his mother, muchyounger than she was now. She was speaking in a foul soundinglanguage to a dark, man shaped figure. Two pinpoints of white hotlight emanated from where the figures eyes should have been. Thefigure held out a piece of parchment. His mother drew a small bladeand sliced her wrist, dribbling it on the parchment and smearing theblots into an arcane mark. The dark figure then rolled up theparchment and consumed it. The scene then changed, and now his motherwakes in the middle of the night, finding a dark and familiar shapestanding at the end of her bed. In an instant, the figure is on her,and Yarvok understands what he's seeing to be the night of hisconception. Through inborn infernal logic, he comes to understand thenature of the deal struck by his mother: She sold the soul of her yetunmade child to some abyssal being.Shesold HIS soul. His fury overwhelmed him and he lashed out, not withhis body, but with the arcane fire that seethed within him! He hearda deep, resonant, and thou roughly vile laughter in his mind, andwhen his vision cleared, his mother lay before him - dead. The samevoice sounded again "The deal is struck, son. You got the power,and you delivered me her soul. She should have realized you cannotsell someone else’s soul. You only succeed in damning your own.Revenge is sweet, and never again will she use my true name to bindme to her petty pursuits!" The presence in his mind fadedcompletely, leaving Yarvok alone with his dead mother.Feelingambivalent and stunned, Yarvok sat there in the dirt beside the bodyfor a long while. Finally, the pragmatic part of his brain took overand he began the task of burying her. He wasn't terribly afraid ofretribution from local officials; they only came this far out once ayear to collect taxes. Nonetheless, he had no desire to stay in thisplace any longer. He scavenged what goods he could from the cottagehe'd lived most of his life in, shoved a burning stick from thefireplace up into the thatch of the roof, and headed out the door.Notes:Airwalkrr'srules for Human Paragon and Warlock level interaction:Foreach +1 level of existing class, a warlock advances a) invocationsknown, b) power of invocations known (least, lesser, etc.), c) levelof invocations and eldritch blast, and d) damage of eldritch blast asif he had gained +1 warlock level. You do not gain detect magic,damage reduction, or any other class-based features of the warlockclass. So as a 1st-level warlock/3rd-level human paragon, you wouldknow 2 invocations (same as a 3rd-level warlock), which may be takenfrom the least lists. Your access to invocations of higher powerwould be two levels higher than usual (so upon reaching 4th-levelwarlock/3rd-level human paragon you will gain access to lesserinvocations as well). Your invocation level and eldritch blast levelwould be 3rd (for purposes of overcoming spell resistance,determining duration, etc.; same as a 3rd-level warlock). And youreldritch blast would deal 2d6 damage (same as a 3rd-levelwarlock).Thiseffect does not stack for other spell-casting classes. So if youchose to take a level of wizard, you would be treated as a 1st-levelwizard if you chose to advance your human paragon levels as awarlock.[/sblock]</blockquote>
