When his parents, who were obsessed with planar travel, gave birth to Geric, they decided that the burden of raising a child was too much. They happened to be traveling through Torril at the time, so they left Geric to the care of a monastery in Waterdeep. There he lived until he was sixteen, following the monastic training of his caretakers, believing that the focus and discipline they exalted was the only way to realize inner power.</p><p></p><p>On his sixteenth naming day Geric had an unexpected falling out with one of the elders in monastery – a man who up to that point had been a kind of father figure for him – and it was decided that he should carry on his life outside the monastery. Never having traveled far outside of Waterdeep, Geric decided that he would like to visit Silverymoon. He followed the road north from Waterdeep, but never made it to the city of Silverymoon. </p><p></p><p>Along the road Geric saw some gnolls attacking a group of humans and he joined the battle, helping the humans turn their attackers away. While fighting, he noticed that most of the humans fought with amazing passion, turning themselves over to the battle. Afterward, he learned that this was a group of northern barbarians who were on their way back to their tribe. With permission, Geric accompanied them and he ended up staying with the barbarians for two full years. They taught him – in as much as such things can be taught – the secret to unleashing fury and inner strength in battle. Geric realized that while the strict life of training in the monastery could offer certain skills and abilities, it was not the only way (or even the preferred one) to master one’s abilities.</p><p></p><p>Even while his perspective on life changed radically during these years, one thing stayed the same; Geric’s mind still spoke in different voices. Most of the time his overmind was in complete control, but the oracle also spoke from time to time, usually warning him of some kind of danger or pointing out something he would have missed otherwise. This gave him a kind of uncanny luck that most people noticed after being around him for more than a short period of time. More importantly though, the collective, the part of Geric’s mind that connected him with all of his race and all of their history, began to speak more and more as he neared his eighteenth naming day. </p><p></p><p>The collective usually offered him insight into particularly difficult questions, but now it spoke more directly to him about his heritage as a synad. It told him that the true power he had been seeking in his training would only come if could harness the psionic power within him. It urged him to return to Waterdeep and seek out another of his race, a woman called Ariana, who could teach him the ways of the war mind. He followed the collective, found Ariana, and began training with her. Since that day, almost four years ago, Geric has traveled many places and his skill as a warmind has increased greatly. He has gained quite a reputation and is well know as a someone who is willing to lend his skills to the right cause, so it was little surprise to him when Corinna Lathankin contacted him about a special job…[/sblock]</p></blockquote><p></p>
